In fact, Ye Xun thought too much, not that this steward was afraid of eunuchs, but now Ye Xun was almost a god-like existence in the hearts of ordinary people in Tieling.

Now this god-like person is standing in front of him, how can he not be afraid of a small person who is no longer a small official from the ninth grade?

This place is so dilapidated, of course, it is no wonder that this little official, the above does not pay attention to it, and the materials allocated for the manufacture of weapons are discounted several times, and there is nothing left in his hands at all, he can't be greedy if he wants to, except for urging equipment, no one usually cares about them at all.

This steward's name is Han Ping, he is a little smaller from the ninth grade, but he is also an official, he also thought about trying to climb up to a higher position in order to realize the ambition in his heart, but it is a pity that the cruel reality shattered his dream, there is no support from the township party behind him, there is no money to give gifts to pave the way, he can only nest in this dilapidated weapons workshop to live with wine, and live one day at a time.

After being called up by Ye Xun, Han Ping really took out an account book in the thatched house where he lived, which recorded in detail the arrows, knives and guns and other instruments that were produced here every day.

The account book is a little shabby, but the handwriting on it is very neat, which makes Ye Xun secretly surprised, and he can't help but glance at this Han Ping.

Seeing that Ye Xun was looking at it seriously, Han Ping said a little crampedly: "Father-in-law, this account book has been used for several years, if it weren't for the Tartars to attack the city, there would be no need to build so many equipment."

Ye Xunxin said that this is right, this account book is almost like straw paper, handed the account book back to him, and said, "How is the food treatment of the craftsmen?" Are there any difficulties? ”

Hearing Ye Xun ask, Han Ping suddenly looked bitter and said, "Then what kind of treatment is there!" It would be nice to fill my stomach."

Ye Xun saw that Han Ping looked like he wanted to say something, and knew that he didn't want treatment, but he didn't know himself yet, so he didn't dare to ask for anything.

Then he said: "Your Majesty has allocated a batch of silver taels to our family in his own treasury in Ouchi, the purpose is to improve the treatment of officials such as you, and the treatment of craftsmen should also be improved, so that you can go to Gao Daren to receive a thousand taels of silver and build up the wall, and the craftsmen must have meat every day, and the food is enough, and there is anything our family didn't expect, you make a list."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun's eyes when he looked at Han Ping became stern, and he continued: "Tomorrow, I will order Lord Gao to give a notice to officials at all levels, not only to make up for the salary owed to you by the imperial court before, but also to double the salary of the craftsman, but there is one rule, no one is allowed to deduct the wages of the soldiers or craftsmen who are greedy for ink, the previous Governor Wang was greedy for ink food, and tomorrow our family will cut off his head, I hope you and others will also take this as a warning."

Han Ping also heard about Governor Wang's arrest, Governor Wang is Li Ruzhen's person, he is a person with real power, and Han Ping has no contact with others at all, so he can't die, and Han Ping doesn't care, what really makes Han Ping care is the silver.

Han Ping paid three taels of silver a month, and he hadn't paid it for more than half a year, and the craftsmen under him were even more miserable, it turned out that there were more than 100 yuan a month, and the war was the same as him, and he hadn't been paid for more than half a year, and if it went on like this, he didn't know how to explain to these craftsmen.

Now Father-in-law Ye not only wants to give them a salary increase, but also to pay off all the arrears before, is this possible?

His lips trembled, and he said, "Father-in-law, are you, what you said true?" ”

Ye Xun believes in a sentence very much, that is, money can make grinding ghosts.

Liaodong, whether the soldiers or the common people, are living in extreme hardship, if you want them to use them for their own use, you must give them hope, improve their living environment, only when everyone's emotions are mobilized, they will willingly obey him.

"If it's true, won't you know soon!"

Ye Xun said this, turned his head and said to a guard beside him: "You go to Lord Gao, in order to fight against the Tartars, I ordered him to purchase a lot of food and meat, let him transport some of it here first, our family will not go there today, and we will leave after eating here."

The guard happily agreed, turned around and walked away quickly, although he had also received silver for following Ye Xun out on a mission, but this time was different, this was a matter of everyone's vital interests in the future, how could he not be happy?

At this moment, Han Pingna didn't know that Ye Xun was telling the truth, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the craftsmen who were still working.

"Don't do it, don't do it yet, come out and thank Grandpa Ye for his great kindness..."

In fact, when Ye Xun was talking to Han Ping just now, many craftsmen who were working also stopped their work and quietly listened to the conversation between the two.

"My father-in-law Bodhisattva is alive, please wait for me..."

"Father-in-law, you are really a living bodhisattva! Woo..."

The mouth kept shouting words of thanks, and finally many people couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Ye Xun's heart was also sour, he never felt that he was a good person, he did it completely to buy people's hearts, but from the cries of these people, he still felt the bitterness buried deep in his heart.

At this moment, Ye Xun secretly told himself that he couldn't make everyone rich, but as long as he was in one day, he would never let these people living at the bottom suffer the slightest grievance.

After appeasing these craftsmen, Ye Xun went to the gunpowder workshop under the leadership of Han Ping, and the situation here was similar to that of the weapons workshop.

Ye Xun immediately added another 1,000 taels of silver, which were used for the same purpose as the weapon workshop, all of which were used to improve the working environment and improve the living standards of the craftsmen.

For a while, the rumor that Ye Gonggong was the Buddha of the Wan Family soon spread in the city, coupled with Ye Xun's previous performance against the Tartars, more people believed that Ye Gonggong was sent by God to save the people of Tieling.

In the praise of the military and civilians, Ye Xun returned to his residence, and before he could sit down, Gao Ying chased after him in a hurry.

When he saw Ye Xun, he asked with a scowl in his face: "I heard that my father-in-law wants to raise the salaries of soldiers and craftsmen?" Although it is a good thing, can you dare to ask your father-in-law, where did the silver come from? ”

"The lower officials know that after the robbery of the Li family, the rich gentry in the city have paid military salaries to their fathers-in-law, but what is this silver two enough for? You have to buy grain, you have to strengthen the walls, and you have to make up the money you have owed, is that silver enough? In case the money can't be sent by then, the Tartar army is going and reversing..."

Gao Ying, who said that he was dry-mouthed, finally couldn't say it anymore, but the meaning was already very clear, if Ye Xun couldn't get the money by then, there was a possibility of a mutiny between the military and the people.

Of course, Ye Xun couldn't tell Gao Ying about the Li family, but as Gao Ying said, according to his flower method, even gold and silver mountains are not enough, so he must continue to look for money, but fortunately, the Li family's silver is still enough for a while.

As soon as he was about to speak, he listened to Gao Ying pour a sip of herbal tea, and said: "I also want to tell my father-in-law a news, that is, your heroic deeds have spread in Liaodong, and they all say that you are the reincarnation of the thunder god, and the people have begun to rush to this side in order to find a safe place, and our Tieling will soon be overcrowded."

And such things?

Hearing this, Ye Xun couldn't help but be stunned.
