"I've been playing the drum in my heart, and I want to ask a few elders: I'm going to mobilize everyone to donate money and materials now, isn't it a little early? Will it be remembered by the government? ”

The Ninth Master laughed when he heard this, and said, "Shihua, do you think that if you don't do this now, the government won't pay attention to you?" But don't forget, last year's war between the four surnames killed thousands of people, how could the government not know? It's just that now the government is at war with the devils, and it doesn't have time to 'take care' of you for a while. So, I think you're doing the right thing right now. Rather than them opening their mouths, it is better for us to take the initiative to bow our heads, so that in the eyes of the government, it is more or less a soft attitude, lest they always worry about whether we will rebel. ”

As soon as the last two words came out, Jiu Ye stared at Wang Shihua directly, hoping to see Wang Shihua's plans for the future from Wang Shihua's expression. After all, this kind of major event related to the rise and fall of the family can only and only the head of the family be the master.

Wang Shihua looked up with a smile on his face, and when he saw that everyone was listening, he understood that this meaning was probably the common voice of everyone now.

Looking at Wang Shihua's eyes, the audience smiled and bowed their heads.

"Ninth Master, you are too worried. I don't have any big ideals in my life, so I just pray that everyone in my Wang family can be fed and clothed, walk outside with their heads held high, and not be bullied. You say, my ideal is right? ”

The ninth master frowned, looked at Wang Shihua, and then his eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he nodded with a smile: Today's Wang family has already reached the ideal that Wang Shihua just said, but he has to emphasize it again, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? On the other hand, Wang Shihua has greater ideals.

"Sir is the reincarnation of the eight great gods, and his words are naturally correct. As long as we follow your orders, we will not be wrong. ”

"Yes! From ancient times to the present, there are so many heads of the four major families, but who can compare with Mr.? In just a few years of work, has our Wang family become so strong? No matter where you go? No matter who we are, when we hear that we are members of the Wang family, who dares not to give us some respect? ”

"I didn't say it! Sir, I'm too old to carry a gun, but my grandson is eighteen years old, so I'm going to go back and ask him to come and give you his life. ”

……

Everyone was gossiping, and Wang Shihua had to stand up and hug his fists to thank him.

I was sitting before, and I was surrounded by people again, but I didn't notice anything. Now at this station, Wang Shihua's sharp eyes found that at some point, Fang Jue was also standing outside, and at this time, he was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Wang Shihua was shocked: he was infected by the majestic atmosphere when everyone met collectively, and he had a bit of a domineering spirit in his heart, and he was a little carried away for a while. Ordinary people can't understand what they said just now, but Fang Jue, the old fritter of officialdom, should understand, which is not a good thing.

Thinking about it, Wang Shihua had no intention of continuing to chat with everyone.

Jiu Ye and other old men are all wise people, and when they saw that Wang Shihua was talking about his sexuality, he naturally said goodbye.

After sending Jiu Ye and the others away, he turned around and walked quickly to Fang Jue's side, and said with a smile: "Weasel, my Wang family is prosperous, and everyone actively responds to the government's call, but you smile bitterly and shake your head, what do you mean?" ”

"Shihua, it is precisely because they are so enthusiastic that I have just felt emotional."

"Oh~! Tell me about it. ”

"In the past, the government recruited soldiers, and all of them were strong men; When the government collects donations, it can only be apportioned. But now, when I come to you, there is such a scene, which makes me have to sigh...... To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to sigh about, but I can't express it. ”

"Okay, don't be emotional, let's help me think about it, how do I give these things to the front line?"

"What do you think? Naturally, it will be handed over to me, and I will transport it to the front line. ”

"Weasel, the nickname I gave you is really not wrong." Wang Shihua looked at Fang Jue with wide eyes and said, "How much do you want to be greedy for ink from it?" ”

"Why don't you die?" Fang Jue was also furious and said: "Is Lao Tzu a person who is short of money to spend? ”

"Not lacking money and being greedy for ink are two different things." Saying that, without giving Fang Jue a chance to speak, Wang Shihua changed the topic and asked, "Let's talk about it again, do you think that if you send it all the way, there will be no problems along the way?" Won't be greedy for ink? ”

Fang Jue was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly: it was no secret that the government was greedy for ink, which made him feel unconfident to refute.

"Shihua, what are you going to do?"

"I thought about it, no matter how much, give Shirong one-third. Give him a third of that nice chief. The remaining third, I sent as soon as I saw soldiers along the way. ”

"You didn't think about sending some to the headquarters? Aren't you afraid of offending people? ”

"Give them greedy ink? Hum! These things were donated by my royal family, not falling from the sky, how can my royal family's things be so easy to take? Speaking of this, seeing that Fang Jue was still looking at him with a bright face, Wang Shihua smiled and said, "Old Fang, to tell you the truth, I'm afraid that after I know that someone is greedy for my things, I can't help but kill him, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome." ”

Fang Jue nodded, and said seriously: "To tell the truth, it's better to divide it into four parts and give one to those who are officials, otherwise, you will offend the boss and it will not be good for you in the future." ”

"I know, I'm just talking about it. Okay, old man, let's go, let's wait while we bake the fire and see how much we can raise today. ”

When the moon was on the branches, Wang Shihua came forward to refuse everyone to continue donating, and asked everyone to come again tomorrow. Immediately, in the "crackling" sound of the abacus beads, Jiang Shoucheng and Mr. Bookkeeper were busy for an hour. Wang Shihua had to send someone to ask: Why is it so long?

Jiang Shoucheng swallowed his saliva and hurriedly ran in front of Wang Shihua in small steps.

Wang Shihua and Fang Jue were eating with glutinous rice dumplings dipped in brown sugar, and when they saw Jiang Shoucheng looking like a thief, they glanced at Fang Jue from time to time, and said with a smile: "This batch of materials has to be reported to the county anyway, and the county will issue receipts and open roads, and it is impossible to hide from the weasel." You just say, how many? ”

"Head of the house, it's better for you to see for yourself!"

As a result, Wang Shihua and Fang Jue, who came over in curiosity, opened the account book and looked at it, and at the same time they were stunned, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

163,768 yuan of seven jiao and six cents (the ocean and border area tickets are counted together); There are one thousand six hundred and three pieces of new clothes alone; 926 pairs of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles; 399,122 pounds of grain; Bacon, eggs...... If all of it is converted into money, there will be 300,000 oceans. You know, this is a half-day fundraising, and the donations in Longtang Town have not yet been completed.

It's no wonder that the two of them are so stunned, according to this calculation, if the Wang family who received the letter came from afar, this fundraising would definitely not be more than a million oceans...... At that time, who had ever heard that the spontaneous donations of ordinary people could reach millions of oceans?

"Shoucheng, did you make a mistake?"

"I was also taken aback when I saw this number, but I personally checked it twice, and if it wasn't for your urging, I would have planned to check it a third time, and then report it to you."

"Let's go! Take me to the warehouse. ”

Half an hour later, Wang Shihua, Fang Jue, and Jiang Shoucheng came out of the warehouse, but their expressions were different.

Jiang Shoucheng's expression was sad and indignant: With so many supplies, how good is it to leave them for your family in an emergency? Sent out for free, as a big housekeeper, he felt sorry for Wang Shihua.

Wang Shihua frowned slightly, and his face was puzzled: he didn't understand why he had raised so many things in just half a day?

Fang Jue's face was full of red light: Not to mention anything else, as soon as the materials as high as this mountain were transported to the front line, it was an absolute sensation, and this batch of materials not only came from his governance, but was also transported by him personally...... Counting this year, he has been in Jiangyin County for seven or eight years, and he feels worthy of the people of Jiangyin County, and his family can't afford to wait. His father had already paved the way for him: by the end of this year, he would either become a director in a provincial town or a deputy governor in a state. Now with this dazzling political achievement, he can go to office with confidence.

"Shihua, the front-line soldiers urgently need this batch of materials, or I will take this batch of materials tomorrow first...... Feed! Shihua? Feed! Hey......"

Wang Shihua didn't pay attention to him at all, put his hands behind his back, lowered his head slightly, and walked forward silently.

Just when Fang Jue wanted to catch up, Jiang Shoucheng grabbed him.

His eyes were red, his nostrils were dilated, he was panting, and he said in a vicious voice: "This is something from the Wang family, you can't care about how to deal with it!" ”

"Yes! Be! Be! "The other party is red-eyed, if you want to go against him, aren't you looking for unhappiness? This is the old Sicheng, not the county seat. Therefore, Fang Jue, who was in an excited mood, didn't care at all, and after nodding hurriedly, as soon as Jiang Shoucheng let go, he asked tentatively with a smile: "Why don't I go and tell Shihua that Ming'er and my brothers will escort this batch of materials to the front line together?" ”

"Humph!"

Jiang Shoucheng snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves, and walked away quickly.

Fang Jue looked up at the moon, touched his chin, and smiled a little shamelessly, thinking about nothing more than two things: the political achievements of this batch of materials, or the fact that the Wang family was so rich, thinking about how to scrape some oil and water from the Wang family.

Wang Shihua put his hands behind his back, subconsciously came to Zhang Cuiyun's room, and sat down directly.

Zhang Cuiyun is pregnant again, but she is also full of experience, but she is not as cautious as before. Seeing Wang Shihua sitting in a sullen voice, he walked over with a smile, poured a cup of tea for Wang Shihua, and asked while handing it over, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh~! I don't have to do it. Wang Shihua took the cup, took a sip of tea, but said the matter, and then asked: "Cuiyun, you help me think about it, why can everyone donate so much money in half a day?" ”

"I don't know, you will find out soon after you ask."

Wang Shihua slapped his thigh, got up and smiled: "That's right! Since I can't figure it out, why don't I ask them? I'm going to ask. ”

Just when Wang Shihua raised his feet and was about to leave, he heard someone at the door smile and say, "I know they will donate so much money for him." ”
