Chapter 648: This Is And Must Be This Way

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "It's just the money for a meal, the four adults won't be so stingy that they can't even support me for a meal!" ”

The assassins shook their heads together, and the Huizhou assassins said: "Then it depends on which meal it is, you have to treat us according to it, not to mention the money to support the prince for your meal, it doesn't matter if it's ten meals." But if we do what you wanted, we won't be able to get it anyway! ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi was the most interested in the waterwheel, he also had an ugly face, shook his head and said: "Prince, we can't compare to you!" 10,000 guan is a small amount of money for you, but for us, we have to empty half of the entire state treasury, not the state capital, but the counties are also counted, and the taxes paid by my Lanzhou to the imperial court in a year are only 8,000 yuan! ”

The assassins nodded one after another, crying poorly, who wouldn't! Besides, it can't be too poor, the surplus of each state in a year, in addition to paying all the money that should be paid, the rest is only a few thousand, which is not as good as those states and counties in Gyeonggi, and it is already very good for a state to have a surplus of several thousand guan here.

Wang Ping'an said: "Then now all the adults can have 10,000 in the treasury, right?" ”

The assassins hesitated, the accounts were kept secret to the common people, but for officials to officials, there was no secret at all, even if they didn't say it, Wang Ping'an sent someone to the household department to check, and they could also find out. It's better to tell the truth than to hide it.

They nodded together and said, "Yes, there are 10,000 guan." ”

Huizhou Assassin Shi said: "But among these money, there are military expenses for the county soldiers, the repair costs of the city wall, and the money of the official envoys, and all the miscellaneous things have been planed out, and the remaining balance is probably less than 3,000 yuan." If you can wait until after autumn, it will be a lot, and now is summer, and it is not yet time to collect taxes! ”

The other thorn histories also nodded one after another, this is indeed the case, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the most difficult scripture to read is undoubtedly the money scripture!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Even if each state supports me with 1,000 guan, the famine in the past few days can be overcome, and I don't expect them to come up with 10,000 guan at once, so that my Gyeongju can't take it either." ”

He said, "Otherwise, you adults pay in installments, what do you think?" After all, meritorious service also requires a lot of money! ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi glanced at the other Thorn History, he was most concerned about the big waterwheel, very clear, as long as this kind of waterwheel was introduced into Lanzhou, it was bound to increase grain production, reclaim more fertile land, and the annual tax payment could almost be doubled, which was too big to be a big political achievement, maybe he would be allowed to work in Beijing because of this, and he would be on the rise from then on.

Seeing that others were still hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll send someone back to get it today, and send it to the prince overnight." But there is one thing, this kind of waterwheel will surely shake the government and the opposition, and I would like to ask the prince to write in the recital that I am the person who supports this matter the most. Do you think so? ”

Wang Ping'an didn't squeak, and looked at the other thorn histories, the thorn histories all gritted their teeth, silent, and their eyes kept rolling, presumably weighing the gains and losses in their hearts. In Wang Ping'an's words, it is the assassins who ponder how to maximize their interests!

For a long time, the other three assassins didn't answer, and they kept thinking.

Wang Ping'an sighed in his heart, this is fortunate to have brought them all, if they sent their subordinates, there would be no possibility of success in this matter. If the government wants to take money from the people, there is a reason, all of them are above board, and it is impossible for the people to pay if they want to pay money; But if you want to get money from the government, look at these brothers, and you're still thinking about it!

Wang Ping'an scolded in his heart, what three iron roosters! He said: "Actually, 5,000 is about the same, I plan to gather the world's businessmen again to see what they think of the waterwheel, the money is actually not a problem, the problem is how to divide the credit." ”

He looked at Lanzhou Thorn Shi and said, "Lord Lan, it's decided, you send five thousand guan, I will send an IOU, and I will repay you in two months, and you will be credited with a large share." As for the three adults...... Forget it, I'm not short of money anyway, I just want to share the credit with you, be kind. If the three adults are troublesome, then forget it. ”

The three assassins were in a hurry, grabbed Wang Ping'an together, and said, "Don't be, we didn't say we wouldn't support, aren't we thinking about how much we can take!" ”

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "I'm really not bad for money, I just have a problem, and this problem can't be changed, so I always want to take care of my colleagues, and everyone has to get rid of it!" Okay, okay, I've got the wishes of your lords, forget the money, so be it, I'm also afraid of trouble, I'm busy repairing canals all day long, I'm about to tire me out, I really don't have the energy to think about anything else! ”

Seeing that Wang Ping'an didn't want money, the three assassins were all in a hurry, and Yuanzhou Assassin said: "I think about it clearly, our Yuanzhou also supports the prince for 5,000 guan, you don't have to pay it back, just after our Yuanzhou follows Gyeongju, the second state that can use this kind of waterwheel will become!" ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi is in a hurry, what do you mean, you flash me! He also grabbed Wang Ping'an and said, "We don't have to pay back the 5,000 guan in Lanzhou......

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jingzhou Assassin said: "I will pay six thousand, and I don't have to pay it back." For the sake of the common people in the world, we Jingzhou people have the responsibility to share the money for the prince and you, and we Jingzhou people are the most loyal to the emperor...... On this point, the prince must be written into the cantata! ”

The most treacherous in the history of Huizhou assassination, he was the last to speak, but he did not say to Wang Ping'an, but ordered his entourage, he took out a small seal from his arms, and said to his entourage: "You, rush back to Huizhou in the starry night, take my small seal, take 10,000 yuan from the treasury, and transport it to Gyeongju immediately, it will be delivered at this time tomorrow, and the old man is waiting here!" ”

The three assassins were stunned for a moment, looking at how many people do things, they will give it if they say 10,000 times, and they will give it immediately, and the service is too authentic!

There is one and two, and there are two in a row, Lanzhou Assassin Shi said: "Didn't you say that there is not so much money in the treasury, why is there again now?" Come on, take my small seal, rush back to Lanzhou immediately, bring 10,000 yuan, the day after tomorrow, you must arrive, this official is waiting here! ”

Jingzhou Thorn History and Yuanzhou Thorn Shi grinned together, the two of them governed the territory no better than Huizhou and Lanzhou, 10,000 guan was taken out immediately, it was inevitable that it hurt the body a little, but it was not as serious as they said, where is the yamen still not a small treasury?

Qi gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and the two assassins also called their entourage, asking them to take their own seals and go back to transfer money, and they must not deliver it during the day after tomorrow.

The assassins showed their sincerity, but Wang Ping'an didn't do it, he waved his hand and said, "Don't do this, don't do this." I'm not bad for money, I'm not bad for money, can I still be bad for money? With Lord Lan's 5,000 yuan, the meaning is done, you don't have to take the money out, and you have to go to the public account, it's too troublesome. Lord Lan, you don't need to take 10,000 yuan, I don't have too many 5,000 yuan, I can't use it! ”

Lanzhou Thorn Shi pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't, how can you not want it!" It's good to have more money, and the king will do things well, and won't he have a lot of money! 10,000 is for us in Lanzhou...... That's a little money, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones at all, little money! ”

The other three assassins also said: "Prince, how can you not want money, isn't this a loss of face!" Everyone, colleagues, if you don't give face so much, we will be angry! ”

Wang Ping'an showed an unhappy look and said, "How can you be like this! ”

The assassins said in unison: "Let's be like this, don't be like this, Prince!" ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: "If you want to do this, I won't be able to do it, you can do this, I can't do the same!" ”

The assassins grabbed him and said in unison: "You can do it like this, what else can you do!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed: "If that's the case...... Well, so be it! ”

"That's right, that's how it should be!" The assassins laughed together.

There were dozens of followers around him, most of them were like ducks listening to thunder, and they all thought in their hearts: "Like this? What does this look like? ”

Some knowledgeable followers thought to themselves: "Look, how can people become big officials?" If you are knowledgeable, this is called tacit. If you get through this way and that, the matter will be done, and if you change someone else, who can do it? ”

After Wang Ping'an and the assassins finished saying "like this", they walked to the city shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing all the way, as if they were their own relatives, and they couldn't see that the assassins were angry at all, and now they were all holding Wang Ping'an with a stammering face, afraid that he would be unhappy.

After returning to the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Ping'an arranged a place for the four Assassins, and he also went back to the room to rest, and after completing one thing, he put down a big stone in his heart and soon fell asleep.

Outside the house, Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu, the two little girls, asked Ouyang Li, has the money for the canal been solved? Ouyang Li laughed in a low voice: "Those assassins were angry when they came, but after being fooled by their masters, they all fell on their stomachs, stammering vigorously, scrambling to send money, not to!" ”

Ke Lianwu said with a smile: "I know that the young master is okay, there is nothing in the world that he can't do!" ”

Ding Danruo said: "The young master is omnipotent, I knew about this many years ago. How many years, oops, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly, let me count, how many years have been! ”

Ouyang Li saw that the two of them were more intimate than Wang Ping'an, and laughed in his heart, and said, "You guys are waiting, I still have something to do." He turned around and left and went to the side yard, he was going to see Wu Meiniang.

Last time, due to the trouble caused by the people of Wu Wangfu, Wu Meiniang had to move into the mansion to live, and lived in a side courtyard in the west, and behind it was the residence of the Wang couple, so it was convenient to take care of her nearby. Ouyang Li was afraid of another accident, so he simply moved to the side courtyard, next door to Wu Meiniang's hospitalized child, as long as anyone came to harass him, he would know immediately.

Ouyang Li first went to the outside of Wu Meiniang's courtyard and stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, listening to the movement inside. The courtyard was quiet, presumably Wu Meiniang was asleep.
