Chapter 50: Co-optation and Suppression

Qin Kan's guess was correct.

The subordinates who were very polite when they met on the first day may not be polite every day, compared to the newly appointed hundred households, Tu Zongqi's prestige seems to be a little higher than that of Qin Kan, a weak scholar.

- maybe more than a little bit.

The next day, everyone arrived, Qin Kan checked the roster, and when he ordered everyone to disperse from various duties, more than 100 people in the courtyard were reluctant to leave, and the scene was noisy, and the officials of the king shouted several times and did not suppress it.

Qin Kan smiled, calculating the time, it should be difficult today.

Looking at Tu Yang with a pleasant face, Qin Kan knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Tu Zongqi, if the brothers are dissatisfied, you can tell me on behalf of everyone."

Tu Zongqi's performance was still very respectful, and he bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qin, it is my fault that my subordinates are not strict in discipline. ”

Ding Zongqi on the side hesitated for a moment, and also bowed down and hugged his fists to make amends.

"Tell me why, don't hide it." Qin Kan said lightly.

Tu Zongqi lowered his head and said: "The brothers have not been paid silver for three months, they are all people with families, Jinyiwei is majestic when he speaks, but he also has to buy rice for dinner......

Qin Kan turned his head to look at the Wang Division, who hurriedly leaned into his ear and muttered.

Qin Kan then understood, although the original Jinyiwei's salary was issued every month, but according to the rules, the Dongcheng Thousand Households only issued 30%, and the rest was collected by each 100 households to the merchants, the name of this fee was called "Ping An Silver", in fact, it was similar to the underworld protection fee in the previous life, although the Ming Dynasty was said to be the prosperous era of Hongzhi, but the treasury was still scarce, and naturally it would not spend too much silver in the factory guard, but there were more than 100,000 Jinyi Guards and Dongchang Fanzi in the world, everyone had to live, so this "Ping An Silver" came into being. It has also become the default legal income of the Ming Dynasty, including the Son of Heaven and civil officials.

Qin Kan's jurisdiction is the most prosperous area in Nanjing, brothels and gambling stalls are lined up, it is said that they should be rich, but unfortunately behind these shops are the power of the princes and nobles, who does a small brocade household dare to charge?

As a result, the current status quo has been created, just like a group of people called Huazi guarding Baoshan, except for watching Baoshan drool, no one dares to move a finger.

Qin Kan blinked: "That's it?" ”

Tu Zongqi was a little stunned, listening to Qin Baihu's tone, it seemed that this matter was not a matter at all?

"Don't you think that Lord Baihu is not worth mentioning, and it doesn't matter if the brothers are hungry and on errands?" Tu Zongqi began to speak less politely.

Hearing this incendiary remark, more than a hundred people in the courtyard became angry, although they didn't dare to scold, their eyes staring at Qin Kan were a little more unkind.

Qin Kan sighed: "I just mean that it's too easy to solve this matter......

"How to solve it, I hope that the adults of the hundred households will teach us." Tu Zongqi is aggressive.

"Tu Zongqi, you lead the team, take the brothers to patrol the streets, and when you see a shop brothel that is not pleasing to the eye, just grab it, how much you grab is yours, and after checking it above, it will be said that it is allowed by my Qin Baihu......"

Tu Zongqi and more than 100 brothers were overjoyed: "Is this true? ”

"Seriously."

Tu Zongqi waved his hand: "Brothers, go, with Qin Baihu's words, what are we afraid of?" ”

A large crowd of people disappeared with a whoop.

The old official's face turned pale with fright: "Qin ...... Lord Qin, this, this can't be helped, it will cause a big disaster......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Zongqi came back with more than 100 people and all of them.

"Lord Qin,...... You lied to me. Tu Zongqi looked at Qin Kan's eyes full of condemnation and ...... Grievance?

Qin Kan said embarrassedly: "You can see this......"

"Let's rob it, and when you look back, you don't know at all, isn't it me who is responsible for the black pot?" Tu Zongqi's eyes are very sharp, but his reaction is a little slower. …,

Qin Kan laughed madly: "That makes sense...... Otherwise, I will make a note and write in black and white that I Qin Baihu ordered you to rob the shops......"

Tu Zongqi nodded happily: "That's very good." ”

Syllable!

The slap was loud.

Qin Kan, a weak scholar, suddenly turned his face, and slapped Tu Yang in front of his subordinates, and more than a hundred people in the courtyard fell silent, staring at Qin Kan blankly.

Tu Zongqi covered his left cheek, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

Qin Kan shook his wrist as if he was in pain, and said coldly: "You don't want to carry the black cauldron, can you watch Shangguan carry the black cauldron?" What is the use of me coming to a subordinate like yours? Do you want to stab me in the back? ”

Tu Zongqi's face was gloomy, but the more than fifty subordinates under his direct control gradually became noisy, and everyone felt resentment for Tu Zongqi, and the more hostility towards Qin Kan deepened.

Qin Kan ignored them, walked into the inner room, took out a big burden, and slammed it on the ground.

Pointing to Ding Zongqi on the side, Qin Kan said: "You, come and get the silver, each brother under his command will pay five taels, and each gang will send two taels, deal with it for a few days first, and I will find a way to deal with the silver." ”

Ding Zongqi looked at Qin Kan in disbelief, and his subordinates also showed joy, among the more than 100 people, half of them were full of good feelings for Qin Kan in an instant.

This is a very realistic thing, whether it is co-opted or suppressed, silver is a real thing, sometimes it can even buy loyalty, even if it is only temporary loyalty, for Qin Kan, this is enough.

Ding Zongqi was happily receiving the silver, but the more than 50 brothers under Tu Zongqi were silent, their expressions were very complicated, with anger and envy.

No matter how high the prestige is, no matter how deep the friendship, the old and young in the family are still hungry, what can prestige and friendship be of use at this time?

Qin Kan stared at Tu Zongqi and sneered: "Tu Zongqi really has backbone, he can't come over to get the silver, do you plan to fill the stomachs of your brothers with backbone?" ”

Tu Zongqi's gloomy face was blue and white, which was more ugly than a slap.

The longing gazes of the brothers behind him were like thorns in their backs, making Tu Zongqi cold.

Finally, Tu Zongqi's knees weakened, and he knelt down on one knee and lowered his head and said, "Lord Qin, my subordinates have been convicted." ”

Qin Kan said with a cold face: "In the future, everyone will scoop up rice in one pot and eat, they will all be their own brothers, what is a brother?" That is, at any time, anywhere, on any occasion, you can give your back to each other without defense, this is the brother! Five fingers clenched is a fist, like you are simply a plate of loose sand, sooner or later people will be bullied to death! ”

Tu Zongqi suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Kan, obviously still a little unconvinced.

"Lord Qin, the little grandfather of the Wei State Mansion has disabled our last hundred households, if he comes to bully us again, do you dare to help the brothers come out?"

Qin Kan's eyes widened, and his murderous aura was revealed: "If he dares to come, I will dare to fight!" ”

Qin Kan said this sentence quite confidently, he really didn't dare to provoke other powerful people, but Xu Pengju......

"Okay, my subordinates remember this." Tu Zongqi didn't say much, but kowtowed respectfully to Qin Kan.

Qin Kan understood what he meant, if he couldn't help his brothers in the future, he would have to double this ring, and his prestige in the Hundred Households would be thrown to the ground at that time.

Qin Kan breathed a sigh of relief, the mess in front of him was finally straightened out temporarily, and in a blink of an eye, the burden full of silver was completely empty, lying on the ground deflated, somehow, Qin Kan's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears couldn't help but gush out.

While wiping his tears, Qin Kan choked up and said the scene: "Brothers, take the silver and go home to buy rice for the old and young to cook...... You must save it, save some flowers......"

Damn tears, I can't wipe them all away......

With a wave of his hand, Qin Kan turned around and returned to the inner room without saying a word. …,

Ding Zongqi was confused: "Lord Qin is so good, why are you crying?" ”

Wang Si looked at Qin Kan's back, full of sighs and emotion: "The boy is still a hero when he cries, and my lord is crying for the bumpy and embarrassing situation of the brothers!" ”

Mr. Ding was stunned for a moment, and the five-foot-tall man's eyes were also red, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, bowed to Qin Kan's inner room, and said loudly: "My lord is benevolent, brothers are blessed, I, Ding Shun, swear here, I am willing to die for Lord Qin!" ”

Plop plop!

The courtyard was scattered and kneeling all over the ground.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Kan's painful sound of scratching the wall came from the inner room.

"My sweat and blood...... Silver! Damn ......"
