Chapter 210 Rewards
There is not a single onlooker who comes here today who does not know that it is to deal with these people who have committed crimes, and some people have thought of the reason for the public disposal, most of which is to warn everyone.
When a new official takes office, he can't burn three fires, but he should always start a deterrent and establish official authority.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be another one, but no matter how many there were, it would never be a trivial matter, so everyone on the lookers pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
Qi You gestured and took the hands of several people covered with red silk cloth, glanced at the indignant workers, and continued:
"The workers in several places in the cave have worked hard for half a year, although there are these cheaters, but the others are diligent and hard-working, and Lord Liu and I have seen it in our eyes, and someone has reported it last month."
A few servants lifted the red silk cloth from the wooden plate.
"The saint is grateful, and he specially allocated two silver taels to reward everyone."
The wooden plate was not covered with red silk cloth, and the loose silver piled up underneath was as high as a hill.
The onlookers, along with all the workers in front of the cave, gasped in unison.
“……”
“……”
Premium?! Or is it a reward from the Holy One?!
The hundred or so people standing on both sides couldn't take their eyes off the four plates of silver at all. The little people have never seen so much silver in their lives......
"Big ...... Adults ...... "There was a young man who suddenly recalled what Qi Youcai had said.
His eyes flashed: "You mean that you and Lord Liu have reported it last month......"
His words attracted everyone's attention again.
That's right! Master Cheng said that it had been reported last month! But last month, Lord Cheng didn't know what was going on in this cave.
The villagers suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, the work on the outskirts of the town was tiring, but the two adults not only gave high wages, but also saw the hard work of the people, and reported to the saint a month ago to ask for a reward for them. What official can do this?
This group of workers, to put it bluntly, is to take money to work, which is a matter of course, but Qi You and Zhixing are secretly worried in their hearts, and they even invited Dr. Fu Qing in the town to check their bodies one by one, and now they have so much reward. Treated like this, these workers can't stand the hard work, so they secretly calculate and trick. If it were them, their hearts would have been cold for a long time, and they would not bring this reward today!
People's hearts are flesh and blood, and thinking about it like this, the villagers only think that it is not easy for two adults.
Not to mention the few honest workers in the official kiln, some of the older ones had their eyes slightly red when they heard this.
"My lord, we will do our work and get paid, and this reward will not be necessary, or you can keep it for yourself!"
One opened his mouth, and the others couldn't stand it, so they hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord! We have half a tael of silver in a month! We don't want this bounty! "There are so many pieces of silver, and there are three or five taels per person when they are divided one by one, which is really too much!
They didn't just do a job, and there was no reason to receive so many benefits.
These workers are very different from those who are being detained. somewhat appeased Qi You and Zhixing.
The two waited for the scene to quiet down before they spoke.
Zhixing stepped forward: "Rest assured, we have thought about the reward a long time ago, although everyone has a reward, but our cave construction period is really too rushed, everyone works every day and we are a little unhappy in our hearts, so we moved. The idea of a book for a reward. ”
Seeing that he was about to excuse himself, Zhixing could only smile and say: "Although Master Cheng and I have added a little, this big head is still from the saint, and we can't lose anything, just take it!" Don't take it for nothing, don't take it! ”
Hearing this, people can't laugh or cry, this Xiaoliu-sama is quite bold, and he will also arrange the saint.
When it comes to this, I don't know what to do if I excuse myself, so this plate of silver was sent to the front, along with the remaining dozens of workers and craftsmen who burned the kiln in the private kiln, each person had five taels of silver, and the workers lined up in an orderly long line and received the silver.
The craftsmen didn't expect that there would be their share, not to mention learning a new craft, and there was money to take, such a good thing is not available in other counties! Many of these craftsmen are from other counties, and they are poor and have no food in their hands just to find a job to make a living.
At last there were five ingots of silver left in the wooden plate, ten taels and one ingots, a total of fifty taels.
Qi You looked at Master Hong, who was standing next to a group of craftsmen in the private kiln, there was no shortage of foreign masters who came from the town to take a look at the excitement today, and Master Hong was one of them.
Seeing that the people who practiced their crafts in his own private kiln had received rewards, or the rewards given by the saints, he looked like he was honored, and his back was the straightest in several merchants outside the staff.
Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and shouted, "Master Hong." ”
Old Man Hong was stunned for a moment when he was shouted like this, and then quickly grinned and responded: "My lord, you called me?" ”
Qi You nodded, nodded the last fifty taels of silver in front of everyone's eyes, and in the eyes of everyone full of envy and surprise, he continued: "Master Hong is selfless, first the country and then his own affairs, dedicated his private kiln, the saint is grateful, these fifty taels are specially granted to Master Hong as a reward." ”
Mr. Hong: !!
The old man has been in business all his life, and he has also traveled south and north, and he has experienced a lot, but it is not as shocking as it is today, and the joy of pouring the sky fell down, and he was caught off guard.
Even his voice stammered: "Big ...... My lord? ”
Qi You smiled faintly: "Master Hong, hurry up and take it, this is the meaning of the saint." ”
After urging twice, how dare the old man ask Qi You to urge him a third time, and finally took a step in the envious eyes of everyone, and walked to Qi You in a panic and impatience.
I've lived this life, and when I'm old, I can get the reward of the Holy One?!
What kind of blessing did he cultivate in his previous life!
No matter how dull he was, he knew that this was Qi You who brought him when he reported to Zhixing, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down to worship the two of them, Qi You hurriedly stopped people, at this age, don't kneel to make a mistake.
"Master Hong doesn't have to be like this, it's your good bearing, without your private kiln, I don't know where this group of craftsmen is going to practice their craft."
The undisguised respect in the words, the old man held the silver taels given by the Holy Father in his hand, and others looked and listened, and they all knew that the lintel of Master Hong had been brightened.
At this moment, Master Hong is only full of gratitude to Qi You Zhixing, who cares about this private kiln, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this private kiln will be used as long as the lord wants, my old man has lived to this age, and he can still do things for the saint and the court, and there is nothing else left in his heart!" ”
Qi You had already expected this reaction, and after thanking him again, he gave him the fifty taels of silver.
The old man held the wooden plate, looked at the five ingots of silver on it, and looked carefully, with tears in his eyes.
What kind of silver is this, what a gift! He hasn't lived in vain in his life!
Step by step, they returned to their original positions, and before they could stand still, a group of craftsmen hurriedly came over to say hello, and they were also rewarded by the saints, and everyone in this circle was smiling. The other merchants and landlords who were standing everywhere also congratulated with smiling faces, but they were all red-eyed.
What a holy reward! Who is worthy of the holy reward, this old man Hong actually got it!
Although it is only fifty taels, this is the will of the saint, which means that this old man has already seen the saint.
There is an emperor in this world, who is busy with political affairs every day, but he remembers an old merchant, what an honor!
After a few old men figured it out, they surrounded Old Man Hong and couldn't stop congratulating.
A year ago, the snow disaster Qi You Zhixing was trapped on the outskirts of the town, this Hong old man had provided a private kiln for two adults and homeless people to take refuge, one of the old man's concierge had predicted, this old man Hong must have been remembered by the two adults, and the treatment in the future must not be bad, after the old man Hong vacated the private kiln for the craftsmen to practice, the piles and piles have already passed the eyes of Qi You Zhixing, this is not a return or two today! Not to mention that the saint even remembered the name of a merchant, it wasn't the two adults who specifically mentioned it, and the saint gave a favor.
The grandfather congratulated and felt in his heart, his porter was a visionary, and I hope that he sent someone to follow the Guo family to clear the snow that day, and the two adults still remember it, and it is good to leave a little impression.
The reward has passed, and this is the punishment.
It's just that there is a boisterous reward from the previous one, and this punishment is even more anxious.
The remaining little man with three wooden plates had already followed Zhixing to the next cave, four caves, and hundreds of workers, as long as they worked diligently, they all had a share. The villagers had already seen the reward once, and they were not curious about the remaining three, and most of them stayed here to watch Qi You continue the unfinished punishment.
The mastermind didn't need Liu Yi to come out to clarify, these bastards who had been detained overnight were all vying to tell each other, just like what Liu Yi recruited yesterday, everyone pointed to the two brothers Cheng Xing and Cheng Wang.
A few workers who were teased by the two brothers to find someone to replace them saw the reward just now, and they were even more regretful and regretful at this moment. No matter how unscrupulous the second-rate bastard is, he also has a wish to get ahead in his heart, not to mention that he can be rewarded by two adults as long as he works hard for a few months, in addition to this trip in this life, what else can he expect to get the holy reward?! But this good opportunity was also pushed away by them.
If you don't want to blame yourself for being lazy, you can only blame these two brothers for instigating.
Cheng Xing and Cheng Wang's two brothers were found out by Qi You that they had a false succession and wanted to return to slavery, and they were accused of the identity of the mastermind, and two earth-shattering thunderbolts fell in a row, and the two of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground as frightened as their father.
Qi You's face was not moved, and he continued to punish these twenty or so people loudly: "Qi Xing Qi Wang's instigation of the workers' luggage to replace the Tao stiff is regarded as the mastermind, and there are 23 participants, and everyone is punished to serve in the official kiln on the outskirts of the town until the official kiln is completed, and then escorted to the county jail, Qi Xing Qiwang will be detained for six months and handed over to the Qi family for disposal, and the other 23 people will be detained for three months as punishment!" ”
As soon as the punishment fell, the stones in the hearts of several old people, including Liu Abo, finally fell to the ground, and the children did stupid things, harming their own parents.
Although March is not long, it will have to wait until the official kiln is completed, not to mention how bad the reputation of being in prison is.
As long as you don't make a mistake and live diligently, the adults have a good gift, but if you make a mistake, the punishment will naturally not make you happy.
