Just then, footsteps interrupted the conversation between the two.

A soldier walked into the lobby from the outside and bowed to Qian Shu.

"Taishou has an order, summon Qian Gongcao to the Taishou Mansion to discuss matters"

"Deliberations?"

Qian Shu was stunned for a moment, and then his whole heart couldn't help sinking.

I'm afraid that this time the visitor is not good, maybe I have to cut off a piece of meat to get out of this quagmire.

"Nephew, today is the first day you have come to my Gongcao Mansion to report, and there is no specific official business to deal with, so you can go back home early."

"No"

Qian Shu nodded at Fei Heng, and then strode outside under the leadership of the soldier who came to report the news.

Looking at Qian Shu's distant back, Fei Heng fell into deep thought, and then walked out of the lobby.

The news I had just seen from the bamboo slip came to my mind, and a look of anticipation vaguely appeared in my heart.

Where did Taishou get the confidence to dare to owe more than 40,000 gold.

Doesn't he know what kind of situation Yuzhang County is like today?

Combined with what Taishou had done in the month of entering Yuzhang County, it seemed as if he had felt something, so he followed this feeling and walked in one direction.

Maybe there's something that answers this question.

……

Qian Shu stood outside the Taishou Mansion and straightened out the official uniform on his body, and was about to walk up the steps when there was a sound from behind.

"Brother Qian"

"Brother Li"

Li Lian, who was dressed in an official uniform, walked over.

His eyes showed a heavy look, and his voice was lowered as he looked around.

"Taishou summoned you and me at the same time, I'm afraid it's for the money."

"Nine times out of ten, that's exactly what happened"

"Brother Qian is a meritorious Cao, how much money do you plan to hand over?"

"Brother Li is the capital post, I don't know how much money he plans to hand over?"

"This matter is difficult to do, you and I represent the four surnames of Zhao, Li, Qian, and Fei, if we don't make some money, how will the more than one million people in the county treat us?"

"What does Brother Li mean?"

"How about 100 gold?"

"100 Gold"

Qian Shu couldn't help but be surprised, not because he gave too much money, but because the amount of money was outrageously small.

It must be known that what is too observant is a gap of more than 40,000 gold, if you only give 100 gold, what is the difference between it and humiliation? .

"This is the amount I negotiated with Brother Zhao, whether it is too much or too little, it is not appropriate, I should buy a peace with 100 gold"

"Will it be less?"

Qian Shu said with a slight hesitation, after all, as a wealthy family of Yuzhang, he needed to rely on Taishou's snort. If this time the Taishou is offended, then there will be a day of peace in the future.

Li Lian snorted lightly to express his dissatisfaction.

"As soon as Taishou came, he confiscated our private soldiers, if you calculate carefully, how much money did we spend on our private soldiers at the beginning? If you don't give money, you still want to ask for money, and if you want me to say that the money is still too much."

"After all, I will only give a hundred gold ...... if I keep the rules of the government."

Qian Shu showed a look of embarrassment when he said this, and he couldn't say anything about the rest of the words.

Li Lian glanced at Qian Shu unhappily.

"If Brother Qian doesn't want to go, we can go our separate ways"

"Now Taishou's heart is too fast, and the hole in money is big"

"If the supply of money is not timely, then waiting for Yuzhang County will inevitably be a big chaos, don't look at the large number of troops in Taishou, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be ruined in the face of more than a million angry people. What are we to fear at that time? ”

"Now Brother Qian still thinks that the hundred gold is less?"

"Yuzhang County is also the foundation of us, if the people riot, it will not be a harm to us?"

"Could it be that Brother Qian wants to fill this hole for Taishou?"

Li Lian smiled weirdly, lowered his voice again, and said with a little sarcasm.

"Brother Qian's surname is Qian, he has a lot of money, and he can come up with more than 40,000 gold"

"I'm hard to reach one or two"

"That's it, that's it, Brother Qian can do it himself, anyway, this is the unanimous decision of me and Brother Zhao"

After speaking, without waiting for Qian Shu's reply, he took a step towards the Taishou Mansion and strode towards the Taishou Mansion.

Looking at Li Lian's back, Qian Shu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as a Yuzhang person, how could he bear to watch his hometown be struggling.

It's just that......

Thinking of this, Qian Shu hurriedly dispelled these distracting thoughts, and also opened his legs and chased after him.

……

Taishou Fuzhong.

Jia Nian sat on the main seat and looked around at Liu Ye and Lu Su who were standing on the left and right.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the figures of Du You, Li Lian and Gong Cao Qianshu.

"Taishou" The two bowed to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian nodded slowly, his gaze wandering over Qian Shu and Li Lian's bodies.

"Du You and Gong Cao came at the right time"

"Li Duyou, you are in charge of the picketing of the twenty counties in the whole county, I don't know what the situation of the officials and the people in various places is?"

Li Lian thought for a moment and replied to Jia Nian.

"The strict order of Taishou, the counties and county soldiers are dispatched at the same time, and the whole county is quiet except for the remaining sweat."

"A large number of refugees who have fled from the northern plains have poured into the county, and with the improvement of law and order, these refugees have also been given respite. Moreover, due to the successive decrees issued by the Taishou Prefecture to allow the counties to reclaim wasteland by building new water conservancy, they effectively accommodated these idle refugees and also allowed them to get a stable job. Therefore, some of the hidden dangers caused by refugees are gradually improving."

"I just heard the county officials complain that it is said that the treasury and grain in the government treasury are being consumed rapidly, and if the county government cannot allocate it in time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble."

Li Lian said with a little worry.

Jia Nian didn't say anything directly, but looked at Qian Shu who was standing aside.

"Gong Cao is in charge of the performance appraisal of officials in various places, I wonder how the government affairs of county officials have been handled in this month?"

"The officials of the subordinate counties of this county all respect the orders of the Taishou, and there is no slackness in their good political performance."

Jia Nian nodded, and his gaze fell on Lu Su and Liu Ye.

"In view of the shortage of the county's finances, Ben Taishou has discussed with the two military advisors and decided to issue bonds to the whole county. borrowed money from the people and the wealthy in large quantities, and promised to repay them with grain and money in the coming year."

"The bond of 100 yuan will be repaid for 102 yuan in the next year, and at the same time, you can choose to exchange the equivalent amount of grain in the treasury of the county under the county, and you can also use it to offset taxes."

"The Taishou Prefecture plans to distribute it to the incumbents of the prefecture first, and in a month it will be distributed to the more than 1 million people in the county."

"If you are interested, you can come and buy"

"No"

Li Lian and Qian Shu were stunned at the same time, shouldn't they be saluting first and then soldiering, forcibly begging for money? Why does it feel like something is wrong with this atmosphere?

Jia Nian rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, and looked around at the four of them.

"That's all for today's discussions, so let's all disperse."

"If you want to buy bonds, you can go to the Lu military division, and the military division is responsible for this matter."

"No"

Li Lian and Qian Shu felt dizzy, could it be that they gave up Yuzhang County too much? Otherwise, why make such a light note on the matter.
