Chapter 92: Sharing the Spoils (3)

Lin Bin, Chen/Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin and others rushed to Gu's house, Gu Wuchen rushed back from the yamen later, and Lin Jian had already made his own initiative to let Yang Pu and Gu's account room put more than 9,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold into the account.

Mrs. Gu really smiled.

When Gu Wuchen first came to Jiangning, although the Dongyang Township Party and the officials of the inspection envoy gave a lot of money, but the personnel in the house were gradually mixed, and it was difficult to control the expenditure. Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, we have to send people to Beijing to do something, although the township party colleagues also have filial piety, but they can't wait for filial piety to go to the imperial capital to do something; Mrs. Gu was still thinking about whether to write a letter to her father to advance some silver, and other silver that could be saved, dotted and honored everywhere could not be saved.

Lin Lian and the others sent more than 9,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold this time, which really solved the urgent need.

When Gu Wuchen came back, Lin Jian reported to him the results of the two days. Chen/Yuan Liang is the oldest, so naturally he said: "There are still more than 14 million copper coins in Hekou, but it is too ostentatious to transport them together, and they will be sent over after the gold and silver are exchanged......"

Gu Wuchen's face was calm, and he said, "What are you doing here with me?" I don't want the money you sent, but you take it back and divide it. ”

"If the money is on the adult's side, it can be spent where it should be. All the ministries and temples in the DPRK and the central government need to be checked, colleagues and old friends also need to come and go, the government has added bureaucrats and subordinates, and the adults have to donate money for work and food, so where don't you need to spend money? Chen/Yuan Liang persuaded, "If the adults can gain a foothold in Jiangning, we can gain a foothold, if the adults don't spend this silver, we can't rest assured......"

“…… It's also true that you say that," Gu Wuchen pondered for a moment, and then instructed Yang Pudao, "You take the three hundred taels of gold...... Seeing that Chen/Yuan Liang was still going to persuade, he frowned and said, "I'll take the silver for later use." The estuary stores copper, Lin Lian, Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, the three of you share, after all, you also have a lot of money to spend. Three hundred taels of gold, to reward the meritorious person this time, the three of you must also count it as a ......"

There are still more than 14 million copper coins in the estuary, 12,000 taels of silver, Lin Bin, Chen / Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo can each divide 4,000 taels, Lin Tie just got 20,000 taels of silver from the Qu family, Chen / Yuan Liang has been in Moling County for two years to know the county, and his family background is also thick, and he does not move anything about 4,000 taels of silver, but Zhang Yubo has been an official for many years, one is that the official positions he lives in are not prominent, and the other is that he is far from being ruthless with other officials, and his family background is very thin, and 4,000 taels of silver is a large amount of wealth that was unimaginable before for him. In this incident, it is said that Zhang Yubo contributed the least, and he was a little panicked when he shared so much silver.

Chen/Yuan Liang, Zhang Yubo, and Lin Lian all stood up and thanked Gu Wuchen, as if this silver was given to them by Gu Wuchen. Yang Pu took the gold and divided it into six parts, and at this time, Yang Pu, Ma Chao and Zhao Qinmin all counted one share.

If it weren't for the life of his only son Zhao Jin, Zhao Qinmin's family property earned by Wang Xueshan was far from being comparable to the sixty taels of gold, but his family escaped naked, and he really didn't have any surplus wealth, there were sixty taels of gold, worth four or five hundred taels of silver, which was also a considerable amount of wealth, but Zhao Qinmin was more seeking stability at this time, not killing the assassins sent by Wang Xueshan, and he also looked down on the money.

In fact, Zhao Qinmin also knew in his heart that Gu Wuchen's performance just now was also a bit hypocritical, everyone knew that the biggest oil and water was still the thirty-two first criminals imprisoned on Prison Island, as for how much oil and water could be scraped out of these people, it depended on Gu Wuchen's means, in short, Prison Island would only release people if they saw Gu Wuchen's warrant. Gu Wuchen didn't mention that the money had to be taken out and shared with Lin Lian, Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo.

Zhao Qinmin also felt strange, Chen \/Yuan Liang and Zhang Yubo didn't contribute much this time, Lin Jian was really not greedy for that silver? Zhao Qinmin wondered, since Lin Jian was young and won the exam, why didn't he fight for fame? With his talent and courage, if he has a better promotion, his future achievements will not be under Gu Wuchen.

As Chen / Yuan Liang said, without the support of Gu Wuchen's big tree, the Dongyang Township Party is a plate of scattered sand in Jiangning, and the first thing they have to do is to consolidate Gu Wuchen's power in Jiangning and strengthen the power and foundation of the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning.

Leaving from Gu's house, Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, Lin Jian and Zhao Qinmin walked together under the entourage of Hu, Zhang Yubo was uneasy about his own uneasy not much credit but sharing so much gold and silver, turned out of the street corner, there was no one else, Zhang Yubo said: "I have not made an inch of merit, I have the right to accept the gold with a cheeky skin, and I dare not be ......greedy for copper in the estuary."

"If you want to talk about credit, Lin Tie is the greatest, if you don't want it, give it to Lin Tie, it has nothing to do with me...... " Chen/Yuan Liang said.

"Isn't Lord Chen embarrassed me? I still want to rush back to the estuary to do errands, but now I still have to persuade Lord Zhang," Lin Jian said with a smile, looked up at the sun, and said to Chen/Yuan Liang, "Lord Chen has been away from Moling County for three days, and I don't dare to delay Lord Chen any longer, I will convert the copper into silver tomorrow and send it to Lord Chen, and I will accompany Mr. Zhao to Dongyang Hall." Mr. Zhao has been a member of the party in Dongyang Township since then, and I can't go to Dongyang Hall all the time......"

Chen/Yuan Liang really didn't dare to continue to delay outside, so he took people back to the county first.

After Chen/Yuan Liang left, Lin Lian, Zhang Yubo, and Zhao Qinmin found a tea house to talk to on the street.

"Brother Yu," Chen Yuanliang was not present, Lin Jian and Zhang Yubo spoke more intimately, and persuaded him, "You will no longer be an idle person from now on." Master Gu will transfer Liu Xilin to serve as the captain of Dongcheng, Liu Xilin and I have been with him for a few days, and I also know a little about his temperament, and he is also a straightforward person. The situation of Dongcheng Lieutenant is quite complicated, I believe that if the two battalions of soldiers are thrown into the deep mountains and old forests by Brother Yu and Liu Xilin, it will not take long to train a sharp pawn that is forbidden by order, but in the flowery world of Dongcheng, it is really difficult to make the two battalions of Dongcheng Lieutenant soldiers like arms. It is necessary to strictly restrain and prohibit orders, not only can Uncle Yu and Liu Xilin not ask their subordinates for money, but also have to give them money from time to time to reassure them, win their hearts, and use both rewards and punishments. Uncle Yu, what can you do without money in your hands? Besides, I also got forty pieces of armor and forty horses for nothing, and I had to fold it into silver, which was several thousand taels. ”

Lin Jian persuaded him like this, and Zhang Yubo had nothing to refute.

Lin Jian knew that Dongcheng Wei was still a mess, and he didn't delay Zhang Yubo's time, and asked him to go back to the Soldiers and Horses, and he exchanged the copper coins at the mouth of the river into silver and then took time to send them to Zhang Yubo.

Listening to Lin Bin's words of persuading Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin also felt in his heart, he didn't expect that the young Lin Tie would have so many and deep thoughts, and he had only been in Hekou for three days, and Zhao Qinmin also knew a little about how Lin Tie organized the migrant workers so effectively.

A tragic incident occurred at the mouth of the river, with more than 140 casualties. In other words, there are many displaced people on the north bank of the sky, and there will be thousands of people competing to do the work of two liters of rice workers and food guys every day, and there are dead and injured people, and new ones are picked, who will care about the dead and injured displaced people?

Lin Lian just reacted differently from others, he set aside land at the mouth of the river to build a cemetery, buried the dead with coffins, spared no effort to apply medicine to treat the injured, and paid silver money to compensate the families of the casualties and displaced people. At the price of the displaced people on the north shore of the sky, 1,000 taels of silver can make 500 middle-aged people work for half a year, and Lin Jian is willing to spend it on useless casualties and displaced people, and the injured and disabled displaced people can also be properly resettled.

When digging the river to build a wharf, Lin Jian gave priority to building a surrounding house for the displaced people to live in, and even he himself still lives in a shack-like thatched cottage. The price of labor calculated for the migrant workers is three liters of rice per day, which is fifty percent higher than that of the north bank, but above and below the embankment, the physical consumption of laborers is extremely great, and three liters of rice is barely enough to eat, but Jiyun Society has an additional subsidy for oil, salt, vegetable and meat. Although the laborers worked hard every day, they did not suffer from hunger, and their bodies were even much stronger than when they first came to the estuary.

Different from the people in the city of Jiangning, who enjoy a prosperous life, these displaced people are people who have experienced chaos and uprooted their homes, and in this land, they are originally the people of floating roots who are excluded, and Lin Lian can treat them like this, they will really sell their lives to Lin Lian.

Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo left one after another, and Zhao Qinmin saw that there were only Zhou Pu and four guards around him, so he was still a little worried and followed Lin Jian to the Dongyang Township Pavilion.

Lin Jian originally made an appointment with Lin Mengde to meet at the Dongyang Township Pavilion last time he went to the city, but he didn't expect so many things to happen all of a sudden, but things finally took a big step in their favor. He was in the teahouse just now, and some tea customers talked about what had happened in the past few days, and they all said that Gu Wuchen was likely to replace Jia Pengyu as the envoy this year, and he would truly become one of the five giants of Jiangdong City.

***************

Lin Lian and Zhao Qinmin rushed to the Dongyang Guild Hall, it was just after noon, and many township parties gathered here for dinner and had not left.

In fact, most of the inside information has spread, and the situation has become clear temporarily: according to the inspection envoy, he avoided Pingjiang Mansion after the incident, so that he has not returned to Jiangning today, Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan fought each other in short combat, grabbed knives and killed, and were able to suppress Wang Xueshan to death, and the light of the Chu Party upstart on Gu Wuchen's head was naturally dazzling.

Lin Lian has also been in the limelight in the past two days, and it is not easy for the Dongyang Township Party to see Gu Wuchen, and when he sees Lin Lian appearing, he is naturally unusually enthusiastic. Lin Jian greeted everyone very politely, and then greeted the shopkeeper of Dongyang Hall, wrapped up all the tea money in the afternoon, and introduced Zhao Qinmin to everyone. At this time, the Dongyang Township Party in the hall also knew Zhao Qinmin, and most of them didn't know him, but the news in the past two days was crazy, and they also knew Zhao Qinmin. In these years, I only divided the enemy with friends, not talking about character and morality, Lin Jian brought Zhao Qinmin to the hall, and solemnly introduced it to everyone, the intention was also obvious, everyone treated Zhao Qinmin naturally enthusiastically, at least they didn't mind that he was still the private close of Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion a few days ago.

Lin Jian asked Zhao Qinmin to get closer to the Dongyang Township Party, and when Lin Mengde came over, he found a house to talk to Lin Mengde.
