Hearing Shen Jiaolin say that there was no money on the account, Liu Hua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Won't it?" Didn't I just give you five hundred taels of silver the other day? How can it bottom out now? ”

"You're embarrassed to say it, just your lavish way of spending money, let alone five hundred taels, even five thousand taels is not enough." Speaking of this, Shen Jiaolin paused, and then continued: "Of the five hundred taels of silver, three hundred taels went to buy sabers, tables, chairs, benches, and beds.

According to your requirements, the sabers are all made of stainless steel, and the original price is four taels of silver, and after some bargaining with me, each saber shop has a discount of one tael of silver, and the cost of the saber alone has cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Your Liu Mansion is so dilapidated that I hired someone to clean the yard and clean up twelve more houses, and simply painted these houses, and the remaining rooms had to be cleaned up slowly.

In these twelve rooms a table, six chairs, and ten benches were purchased, and the beds were made to order according to the bunk beds you designed, and each room had four such beds, and a total of thirty beds were made, and these furniture cost a hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Among them, you, I, Sun Shidong, and Mr. Tong are all in a separate room, one of which is a large room with three suites as an office space, another medium room as a canteen, and the remaining seven rooms as the residence of those police officers, the total cost of this piece is one hundred and seven taels of silver, I erased the change and paid the other party one hundred taels of silver. This has already cost four hundred taels of silver.

Also, didn't you say that the style of the police officers' clothes should be separated from the clothes of the fast hunters? I have asked a tailor to measure all the measurements of the officers, and according to the style you designed, I have specially ordered two sets of clothes for each officer, one to wear on the body, and one to keep and replace, which cost a total of fifty taels of silver.

In the past seven days, you have trained police officers, and after each training, you have to set up a banquet to talk to those fast catchers, even if I save money all day, but these days I have spent more than 80 taels of silver, you can calculate it yourself, did I post more than 30 taels of silver?

The rest were used to buy horses, interrogation and survey equipment, to build stables, to repair houses, to order filing cabinets, to purchase tableware in the canteen, to purchase tableware, tables, stools, to replace the courtyard gates, to pay the officers at the end of the month, and to pay for three meals a day...... It's all waiting for your money to carry it out. ”

"Damn...... Why can't you help but spend it? After muttering, Liu Hua told Shen Jiaolin that he would find a way to get money today, and after speaking, he walked in the direction of Tong Zhen, and after finding Tong Zhen, Liu Hua called Tong Zhen to the house.

"What? Are you going to fire all the casinos in Yangzhou City? Liu Hua, are you crazy? Tong Zhen in the room, after listening to Liu Hua's words, jumped up directly: "Liu Hua, don't mess around."

Do you go out and ask for yourself, where is there no casino now? In our Qing Dynasty, as long as there are people, it has a casino, so many years have passed since the imperial court has not managed this piece, why should you be this bird? Listen to my brother's advice, you better give up this idea. ”

"What are you worried about? Isn't it just a couple of casinos? In the past, the imperial court didn't care about this, because I wasn't a fast catcher at the time, but now that I have become a fast catcher, I should take care of these tumors.

What a good opportunity, it is precisely because it has not been managed before, so those large casinos and gambling houses will be so unscrupulous business, now that we are responsible for the security environment of Yangzhou City, I think we have the responsibility to remove these tumors. Wait a minute, I'll show you something. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hua smiled slightly, then ran to the bed, pulled on the bed for a while, and then walked over with a thick book in his hand: "Chief catcher, take a closer look at this article." ”

After hearing Liu Hua's words, Tong Zhen received the book that he was a little curious about, and when he took it to him, Tong Zhen saw that it turned out to be a copy of "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty", and after several days of hard study, Liu Hua finally found a "article" he wanted.

The article reads that the opening of casinos and participation in gambling are strictly forbidden in this dynasty, and officials who participate in gambling are dismissed from their posts and are punished with a hundred lashes for two months, and they are not allowed to redeem and never use them to set an example for the latter.

Civilians who commit gambling will be fined 1,000 yuan each, and those who gamble will be fined 10 times the scale of their business profits.

After seeing this article, Tong Zhen looked at Liu Hua in surprise: "You won't be here for real, right?" Although the law says that gambling is forbidden, no official has ever enforced this law, so do you know what this is for?

Because those who opened casinos, all some powerful people, and even, some officials in the yamen also invested in the casino, on weekdays, everyone is hello and I am all good, during the New Year's holidays, the boss of the gambling house will take the initiative to honor various departments.

Over the years, everyone has formed a tacit understanding, the officials of those departments are also providing protection and convenience to each other in disguise after receiving each other's filial piety, and now you suddenly want to take those casinos to open the knife, which is no less than stabbing a hornet's nest. Brother, you have to think twice.

"Chief catcher, I have my own measure in this matter, you can rest assured, when the time comes, you will be responsible for organizing the manpower, and I will personally lead the team to catch the gambling." As soon as the words fell, Liu Hua said lightly: "We are a police station, not the previous criminal arrest room, the arresters in the criminal arrest room dare not investigate these casinos, but the people from our police station dare." ”

At noon that day, Tong Zhen ordered people to organize all the fast catchers from the twelve counties of Yangzhou Mansion outside the prefect's yamen.

After all the catchers arrived, Liu Hua looked at the more than 1,000 catchers in front of him, and then said lightly: "Call all the brothers today, there is nothing else, but to let everyone earn some extra money."

I'm going to lead the police station on a mission later, and you can just follow behind, and then you can just stand there and make up the numbers, but no matter what happens, you must not escape.

As long as we wait until the end of the task, the vice president will reward each of you with one or two pieces of silver on the spot, but if anyone retreats from the battle and drags us back, at that time, don't blame me for being unsympathetic. ”

After listening to Liu Hua's order, the catchers at the scene were both a little excited and a little curious, and said, "Make up the number?" What kind of task is this? The rewards are so generous? Hey, it's worth it today. ”

Seeing that everyone heard his order clearly, Liu Hua called out all the people in the police station, and then rode on a horse and led the mighty team towards the largest casino in Yangzhou City, the "Treasure Pavilion".
