Chapter 185: Distribute the money to the people of the whole house

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing hurriedly put down the teacup in their hands and asked with concern. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yi lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Have you gotten the news?" The Maitreya bandits will officially pull the flag and rebel in Dongzhen Village tomorrow! ”

With two "horns", the teacups in the hands of Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing fell to the ground in unison, and their faces were shocked.

Lin ...... Lord Lin, how should this be! Please inform Mathihar immediately and ask him to send troops to exterminate him! Zhang Ji said anxiously.

Lin Yi sighed and said: "Two adults, I also want to send Ma Ti to lead the troops to exterminate, but I heard that in the area of Dongzhen Village, the Maitreya Sect and bandits have secretly gathered tens of thousands of horses, and they have all been distributed, but we have less than two thousand soldiers and horses in the Division, and most of them are old and weak soldiers, and the bandits in Qinglong Mountain fought last night, and the losses were also very large. What a rival to others! ”

"Where...... What to do? Lord Lin, why don't we quickly withdraw the soldiers of Qinglong Mountain, close the four gates and guard the city, forgive which Maitreya bandits will not be able to attack the city for a while. Yan Tixing came up with an idea.

Lin Yi laughed unconsciously, and said, "Lord Yan, our little people, even if we close the four doors and hold on, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it?" How many Maitreya bandits there are? And I heard that the Maitreya bandits still have internal responses in the city, and we are afraid that this city is ...... Nine times out of ten, you can't hold it! Speaking of this, he shook his head with a sad face.

"Where...... We have no choice but to be loyal to the emperor! Torturer Yan sighed, the expression on his face was extremely depressed. Zhang Ji's face was also pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes showed a trace of unwilling despair.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "The two adults don't need to say such frustrating words, this adult has a good idea to destroy this Maitreya bandit, but the two adults still need their full support!" ”

"Lord Lin has something to say quickly, as long as you can break this thief army, Lord Ben will support you in everything?" Yan Tixing hurriedly said to Lin Yi, and Zhang Ji also looked at him expectantly.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Actually, my method is also very simple, didn't the Maitreya bandits gather tens of thousands of horses in Dongzhen Village now?" I think that most of these people are poor hired peasants, and many of them are trying to make ends meet, and they don't really want to rebel with the Maitreya bandits. This time, the government attacked Qinglong Mountain and seized a large amount of grain and gold and silver treasures, including seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver in silver alone, not including millions of stone of grain! Therefore the government wanted to give half of the silver to the people of the house according to their heads. How can the people of this world not love money? As soon as they heard that their hometown had divided the money, why didn't they hurry home and get it? The Maitreya bandits in Dongzhen Village are almost scattered, and then let's send Ma Tiha to lead troops to sweep away a few evildoers, isn't it a matter of being captured? ”

This strategy sounds really clever, but it is not in line with the rules of the imperial court to distribute the large amount of silver seized from Qinglong Mountain, after all, these things are trophies, and they should all be handed over to the imperial court for public return.

Yan Tixing was silent when he heard this, but Zhang Ji said categorically: "No! Lord Lin, you can't distribute the money of this court to the people of the whole house! ”

Lin Yi frowned, and persuaded patiently: "Lord Zhang, this is just an expedient measure, although the money has been distributed, it is still in the hands of the people of our Zhengding Mansion, and the imperial court can get it back in the future." However, if the Maitreya disciples do not disperse, once they are used by some rebellious bandits and rebel, not only will the Zhengding Mansion City not be able to be saved, but I am afraid that these people will also attack other states and counties, bringing greater trouble to the imperial court? ”

"But after all, this is the money of the imperial court, I'm afraid that I will be given a copy of the imperial history in the future, so we won't be able to eat and leave!" Zhang Ji pointed out the stakes.

Lin Yi arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Zhang, the imperial history of which imperial courts is really troublesome, but now we have to think of ways to get through this hurdle?" Is there tens of thousands of people on the other side? Once they rebel tomorrow, they will definitely come to attack Fucheng, will we still have our lives then? This money has been distributed to the common people, and they still remember our kindness to the court, but if it is taken away by some Maitreya bandits, then we will be sinners of the court and the emperor! ”

Zhang Ji was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

Lin Yi smiled again: "Two adults, if you are afraid of taking responsibility, you can turn a blind eye, you should not see it, if something happens, this lord will bear it by himself, and go to court with which imperial historians!" Anyway, Lord Ben can't leave Fucheng, and he can't care about much. But the two adults, the court did not tell you to defend here, if you are really afraid, you can take your family with you, and now leave the city and run for your life! ”

Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing glanced at each other, nodded silently together, and Zhang Ji arched his hand and said, "Lord Lin, the two of us are deeply taught by the saints, how can we be such greedy for life and afraid of death?" Now that the adults have made a decision, the two of us will support it, and there is no other word! The tone was firm.

There were also good officials in this ancient feudal society! Looking at this Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing, they are dedicated to the people, regardless of their own safety, which is really admirable. Lin Yi arched his hand at the moment, and said with a smile: Without further ado, why bother the two adults to help me distribute silver in each county immediately! We are going to spread the word and tell the deceived Maitreya sect members in Dongzhen to hurry back to their hometown to receive the silver, and I think that as long as they hear this letter, nine times out of ten they will run back to receive the silver. ”

"What's good, this transfer envoy will hurry up to Qinglong Mountain now, and get back the silver for distribution, as for Yan Ti's punishment, please trouble him to supervise the process and fairness of the distribution!"

"I'll leave it to the two adults!" Lin Yi hurriedly bowed and expressed his deep gratitude.

Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing left in a hurry, Lin Yi didn't dare to be idle, and hurriedly walked to the prefect's lobby, took a pen to write an official document to the magistrates of each county, explained the matter, and sent almost all the officials of his own government out to undertake this matter. So by the afternoon, this Zhengding Mansion was like a pot of boiling water, and it was all boiled in chaos.

"Yikes! This government gives money to the people in its own territory, and it is the first time I have seen it in my life, and I have only seen the court levy taxes on the people before, and I don't know if this matter is true or false! An old man from the village said with great suspicion.

"Uncle, go and get the silver in the collar! Our family has already received it, and I heard that it was the prefect who swept away the bandits in Qinglong Mountain, and a lot of the silver seized is being returned to the people of our house? You always hurry up, if you go late, you won't be able to get it, and now the queue outside the main gate has been lined up for two miles! A young student in his twenties who had just received the silver said excitedly while holding the copper coin in his hand.

"What's true? I've got to go, go! The old man was immediately overjoyed, and ran to Lizheng's house, which speed is that a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old also sighed to himself. (To be continued.) )
