Chapter 101: The Broom (4)
Bai Mo's eyes rolled and said, "Is it still useful to ask this now?" ā
"That's right, none of my beggars from the elder to the gang leader have survived, Nangong Wuji has been captured, and who will replace the gang leader still needs to be decided by the brothers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The rich man said, turned to the gang behind him and beckoned: "Let's take Nangong Wuji back to the Ming Dynasty first, and then everyone will elect a new gang leader together." ā
"Okay!"
The beggars were full of energy, as if the new gang leader was definitely himself. Bai Mo's eyes were cold, looking at these babbling beggars and gangs, and he didn't say a word. They threw themselves into the beggar village that had been occupied by Jingo, and Bai Mo just silently followed behind them.
Before he had gone far, the leading rich man suddenly said strangely: "Huh? Did we go out from this road? These weeds seem to have been trampled on. ā
The gang around the rich man pouted and said, "Sixth, don't really take yourself as the leader, be suspicious." When we went out to search for Nangong Wuji, we didn't say that we would go from that road, we didn't go there, others left. I advise you to stop talking nonsense, and hurry up and put Nangong Wuji on trial, we have to choose a new leader. ā
Another gang member said, "I see, this beggar gang is coming to an end." Why don't we go and take refuge in the begging religion? The elders of Sun and Zhu are now in the begging sect, and they are still above board, not much stronger than us in this small broken village? ā
The man who looked like a rich man muttered: "There are too many begging and teaching flowers, which of you brothers wants to go, while the new gang leader has not yet been selected, you can go, whether you can mix up and become famous depends on yourself." Elder Sun, they are all people with literature and ink, so they can naturally go smoothly, they rely on their mouths to deceive people, and they are not the same way as us. ā
The "pill party" just now thought about it, and said with a smile: "Also, I haven't been good at moving my mouth since I was a child, I am only good at using my hands, and I can be a thug at most when I get there, how can I drive a few old logs to the street now and sit on the ground and count the money?" ā
The crowd walked as they talked, and finally saw the beggar village.
In smooth water.
There was not a single pedestrian on the dirt road in the village.
But that didn't alarm the gang. Life in the village is like this, except for certain special times and children frolicking outside, very few people hang out outside, especially after the family supporters have gone out.
The destination of the gang is still the mansion of the old gang leader Xu Bao.
After all, his mansion can be said to be the largest building in the village, and there is simply no room for so many gangs to meet to elect a new gang leader in other places, but it also happens to be the temporary camp of Lieutenant Wang Dashi.
Bai Mo watched these evil-ridden people walk into the tiger's den little by little, not to mention how enjoyable they were.
As soon as the gang pushed the door, what came into view was the Jin Wu who stood with their knives and seemed to have something on their minds. The gang who had just pushed the door slammed the door shut, and cold sweat broke out on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Run! Come on! There are officers and soldiers inside! ā
"Are you trying to break us off?" The man who looked like a rich man did not believe in evil and opened the door again.
Those Jingo, who had already been holding their breath, gushed out like a flood, but because the Jingo who came here to sweep the beggars were not all piled up in Xu Baoquan's mansion, Jingo and the beggars were evenly matched in terms of numbers.
However, these beggar gang leaders did not carry any high-quality weapons, and they had just gone out to arrest Nangong Wuji, and all they were holding was a wooden stick.
That is a one-sided slaughter.
Jin Wu all knew Bai Mo, so Bai Mo was not affected by the pond fish, he suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, and after taking a few steps, he pressed the shoulder of an old man who was walking out.
"Nangong Wuji?"
āā¦ā¦ā
The old man looked at Bai Mo with a desperate expression.
He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but he didn't expect someone with such sharp eyes, or staring at him all the time.
Nangong Wuji said: "It's okay to let me live......"
"I didn't say kill you. Why did those beggars arrest you? ā
"You're not a beggar? ā¦ā¦ I understand, you should be the current lieutenant Wang Dashi. ā
Bai Mo smiled: "Not bad. It was Wang. ā
Nangong Wuji's eyes narrowed, his teeth clenched, and in an instant, he stretched out his right hand and took Bai Mo's throat directly. But as soon as this hand reached the vicinity of Bai Mo's neck, it was slapped down by Bai Mo's palm. Nangong Wuji let out a miserable howl, and immediately turned around and fled into the woods.
Bai Mo also chased after him.
Those beggars and gangs take him so seriously, and it is clear that he is a very important person. If you let him go, you will definitely suffer something.
After all, Nangong Wuji is over fifty years old, and his strength is no match for Bai Mo, a young man, besides, Bai Mo has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his physical ability is already extraordinary.
Less than twenty steps, Nangong Wuji was captured by Bai Mo.
Nangong Wuji said quickly: "Lao Yu was originally the bookkeeper of a silk and satin workshop in Fengjing, and he was kidnapped by the beggar gang when he went out to play, and they wanted to cut off the old man's limbs and tongue and let me go to the city to beg, but because they happened to lack a bookkeeper and the old man took the opportunity to beg for mercy repeatedly, so he had no choice but to join the beggar gang." After more than ten years in the beggar gang, although the old man is an elder of the world, he has never hurt a person, he has never been in charge of the treasury accounts, and he also asks the lieutenant to be gracious! ā
"Why did they arrest you?"
Nangong Wuji knew that even if he didn't recruit them, there would always be people who would recruit those captured beggar gang disciples, they were just a group of rabble, how could there be any hard bones to speak of? After thinking about it, Nangong Wuji gritted his teeth and said: "Because the old man smuggled away all the yellow and white things of Liu Baoquan and the help library!" The location of the treasure is in the suburbs, and the old decay can guide the way, just to make up for it! ā
More Jingo heard the wind and left the other mansions and came together.
In the end, a total of 216 middle- and high-level members of the beggar gang and 1,100 of their families were arrested, and countless people were rescued.
Except for Nangong Wuji, all the beggars and gangs could not escape death, and the punishment of the criminal name (that is, the law) of the Great Jin Dynasty was very severe. The biggest difference between the thief and the world where Bai Mo was in his previous life is that there are very few plants, and it is the basic principle that one person does things and one person should do it.
After the elimination of the beggars, the most pressing issue now is the fate of those who have been rescued.
Nine out of ten of them have become crippled, and the remaining tenths are not much better, they have all been brainwashed into mental illness, and it is difficult to grasp even the common sense needed to live in this world.
Even if they still have relatives alive, they can find them.
Even if they can be found, those relatives will not necessarily take in these people who are either crazy or crippled, after all, the family life is hard enough, and there is no need for a burden to drag the whole family down. But if it is not properly resolved, they will still become beggars, and there will be new seekers who will become their "masters", re-exploit them, and form new beggar gangs.
As long as Bai Mo thought of this problem, he would have a headache, and it would be impossible for the imperial court to support them...... Now he can only order Wang Dashi to enclose these people in the beggar's village to "take care" temporarily.
With the seizure of the assets of the beggar gang under the leadership of Nangong Wuji, and Bai Mo sent a house raid order to the government of Xu Baoquan's hometown.
This is the end of the broom sweep.
The sheer size of the beggars' assets is surprising.
Even Bai Mo was a little red-eyed.
There are three big carts of gold and silver, and they must be measured in kilograms! Not to mention the copper plates in the warehouse.
The gold and silver of the Great Jin Dynasty is not "legal tender", in principle, only copper plates can be used to buy and sell things, but gold and silver are more valuable than copper plates, and they maintain their value.
Bai Mo and Wang Dashi definitely didn't dare to fight the idea of this money.
The new ruler of Su Nei, Shi Xun Wuyi, had already heard the rumors.
The day after the money was jointly seized by the Imperial Lieutenant Administration and the Lieutenant Administration, Xun Wuyi went to Emperor Shu to request that the money be collected into the national treasury. And Bai Mo also has his own plans, and he also sent a letter to the North Hell.
The content of Bai Mo's recital is not long, but the suggestions he makes are very advanced in this era.
The money was used to set up a "relief department" and run it by a special person to solve the problem of beggars in the capital. Disaster years can also solve the problem of refugees. In terms of operation, the operators of the Relief Division need to have business experience and use the money as the principal to make money in business, so that the funds of the Relief Division can continue to pour in.
And Beiming Zhensu himself hopes that this money can enter the royal private treasury, at least part of which can be entered.
After more than ten days of arguing, Beiming Zhensu finally made a final decision, sixty percent of the money was used to establish the Relief Department, two percent went to the national treasury, one percent went to the royal private treasury, and one percent was used to reward Bai Mo and Wang Dashi for their meritorious deeds.
Bai Mo asked to use his reward to set up a new dark department, of course, this was not said in the court, but in private.
To Bai Mo's surprise, the establishment of the Relief Department did not encounter much resistance, and even most of the ministers and doctors supported it, and there was no voice of "the immutability of the ancestors' law". Later, the biggest disagreement over the Almsgiving Division was the question of who would run it.
Each faction wanted to install its own people as the head of the relief department.
Bai Mo's suggestion of "being under the control of the imperial court but not being accepted as a minister" was quickly drowned out by opposing voices.
What a real reason! If the name is not right, it is not good, how can the institutions under the court not belong to the ministers?
Eventually, the Relief Department was renamed the Relief Department, with one Relief Department, two Relief Ministers, and several squatters. It's still the same old thing.
The chief official was robbed by Xiao Yan's old generals, but Bai Mo still chose two relief ministers among the famous businessmen in the people, one of whom was a famous wealthy businessman in the capital, He Wei.
After this incident passed, Bai Mo received two letters.
One is from Xu Jian, and there are only four words on this letter, saying: "Don't slack off." ā
The other letter is from Xun Wupeng, this letter has a lot of words, and the meaning expressed is mainly to express gratitude for Bai Mo's suggestion of the "Relief Division", as well as to put forward some of his own hidden worries, he is worried that if the Relief Department does not rely on the income of the imperial treasury to support, and according to Bai Mo's proposal of "buying property to make profits", it is likely to be operated at a loss.
Bai Mo understood what these two people said.
What Xun Wuyi said, as it is, is not hidden in the slightest.
Xu Yan's side is because he has been hit hard enough by Xiao Yan recently, and he can't complete the task assigned by the emperor alone, so he came to pull Bai Mo into the water.
