The middle-aged gentleman nodded flatteringly to Chen Bangyan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Guan Shouzhen pointed to another young man in his thirties and said, "This Li Xianggong is the in-law of the current Yang Qiaoran, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, who is in his prime and talented. ”

The young Lee Sang-gong was introduced and showed a smug look in the back.

"The rest of the people sitting here are all squires with names and surnames on the "Records of the Gentlemen", and they are big local households. Everyone's names are attached to the filial piety outside, and after the banquet, they are sent to the house, and the Lord Wangfutai smiles. ”

Chen Bangyan was noncommittal.

In the background, gongs and drums are loud, dancers dance to the music, and a plump young woman sings in front of the stage, followed by several dancers dressed in light veils.

Chen Bangyan raised his glass and said: "Bangyan has thanked all the gentlemen for their hospitality, and in the future, I will have to rely on your full support to govern Guangxi." ”

Guan Shouzhen also raised his glass and responded: "My lord's words are serious, and it is really within my share of worries for the country." ”

Chen Bangyan nodded, stood up, and said: "Everyone, don't hide it, now the treasury is empty, the imperial court has no money, and there is no spare energy to allocate money and grain to the locality. ”

Hearing this, the audience suddenly fell silent, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to speak first. In the end, it was Guan Shouzhen who spoke first

"Helping the people is a good deed, and we should give it, but I don't know how much the adults need?"

Chen Bangyan stretched out his five fingers, flipped the back of his palm, and said, "With the current situation, at least 100,000 taels of silver are needed." ”

The gentry were taken aback when they heard this, and they whispered to each other in private.

After a long time, an old squire wearing a sauce-purple four-fluted scarf and a sauce-purple placket arched his hand towards Chen Bangyan, and said tremblingly: "Lord Futai, it's not that I don't want to. In this year of great military disasters, some of the small ones have some family businesses, but the expenses are also large, and there are hundreds of people in the family, and people eat and chew horses, which is really uneven. ”

Chen Bangyan looked around, and saw that everyone nodded slightly in agreement, his face drooped down suddenly, and he looked at everyone's eyes with annoyance, what a bunch of iron roosters, not pulling out a hair!

"You have to know, what is the official forcing the people to rebel, there are so many homeless people inside and outside the city of Guilin, in groups, the people are hungry, they will follow the thieves, and even kill the officials to rebel, and rot the place. Can wives and children be safe? I'm afraid that by then, all the hungry people will be honored! ”

Guan Shouzhen glared at the old squire, accompanied by a smile, and said, "What the lord said is very true! It is our duty to help adults raise money and food. ”

He deliberately accentuated the word 'help', and then took out a silver ticket from his body.

"Three hundred taels of silver, not a tribute!"

The servant brought a plate at the right time, and the guard carefully put the silver ticket on the plate.

Chen Bangyan looked at Guan Shouzhen and was speechless, and the squire next to him did the same, and took out the silver tickets from his body and put them on the plate.

"I'm a hundred taels."

"Eighty taels."

"Sixty taels, no more."

……

When the servant walked around the round table with the plate and walked to Chen Bangyan, Guan Shouzhen got up and arched his hand: "I don't have much money, so I can do my best." On the side of the imperial court, if you go to another day, you may be able to allocate some money and food. ”

Chen Bangyan saw the perfunctory behavior of these people, and at this time, he didn't want to say anything, grabbed the silver ticket on the plate, got up and walked to the long table full of precious gift boxes, pointed to the gift box as high as a hill and said, "This is what you gave me Chen Bangyan." ”

He raised the few silver tickets in his hand: "This is what you gave to Daming." ”

After speaking, he threw the silver ticket on the long table full of gift boxes.

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? If Da Ming dies, what's the use of you giving me Chen Bangyan! ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Everyone was stunned.
