Chapter 226: The Rich Household's Loyalty (3)

"You all rushed over together, and there was a lot of urgency on your face, thinking that there was something important, just say it directly, and you don't need to say much nonsense."

Qi Yuanwai immediately arched his hand again: "My lord is straightforward, so ...... The little old man said it directly. ”

"This ......"

It is naturally easy to talk about giving silver, but the two adults are not stupid, how can they not know the true thoughts in their hearts, and why they sent this large sum of silver.

Qi Yuanwai gritted his teeth, it was easy to become the first to speak, how could there be any reason to retreat, this opportunity was to seize it tightly!

"My lord, the little old man is overdue, imagine that this cave has just been built, and the two of you are preparing to build a large courtyard that can accommodate 100 people and three private schools, which ...... That's a lot of money......"

Qi You Zhixing each held the tea bowl, and he smiled in his heart, this statement was not different from what Chun Gui predicted yesterday.

Qi You raised his eyes and looked at him fixedly: "What does Qi Yuanwai mean?" ”

The old man looked at everyone and bowed again: "My lord, my little old man is also a part of these two counties, and he has been blessed by his ancestors over the years, and the neighbors have taken care of him and have a little savings." ”

"I think it's time to do my best for the township, and the flowers for the construction of Ci'an Hall and private school will let Xiao Lao'er come out!"

That's right, it's not atmospheric!

It can be called a heart-to-heart, sincere words, but if there is no reward and punishment in front of the cave, I don't know if I can still listen to these words.

Qi You put down the tea bowl and felt a sigh in his heart, but in life, some things are only enough to float on the surface, and there is no need to delve too deeply.

He was slightly surprised on his face, and cooperated: "Qi Yuanwai is joking? That's a lot of money. ”

Qi Yuanwai hurriedly said: "It's not a joke, my lord, I brought all the silver here, and I put it in the carriage at the moment!" If you want to use it, I'll send it in! ”

"My lord! I brought it too! If that's not enough, I'll send it to you later! ”

"My lord, we are willing to do our part!"

After a moment of silence, this began to scramble again.

The one on the left is facing Qi You, and the one on the right is all aimed at Zhixing, and he said everything from the bottom of his heart, looking at his face, he didn't ask them to give out this money, and they were sinners in the two counties.

"My lord, we are so old, we have eaten and drunk all the food, and now there are two adults taking the lead, many of our families in these townships have savings, the little old man is not talented, and he also knows a little bit that the adults are dedicated to helping us live a better life, that is, how can we old bones look at it coldly."

Speaking of which, Qi You made some senses.

"Can Qi members also understand this way of governance?"

As soon as he asked, the old man choked up all the solid words in his stomach, so he had to swallow them all and smile in disguise.

"I don't understand, I don't understand...... It's just that the two adults came back from Kyoto, this small half a year through the cave to the villagers to add a family foundation, and by opening the market, the bottom of a few small township activities, now is the next few counties also often come to us to do business, although the people can not be delicacies from the mountains and seas, but as long as there is a strength or to the market activities to move the muscles, how much can eat enough, who does not know that this is the intention of the two adults. ”

"Now this Ci'an Hall and the private school, one old and one young, will have to take care of it, we all know that this is the way of adults to govern the county."

He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them tentatively, and when he saw that his expression had not changed, he continued: "At that time in the cave in front of us, we didn't reflect the good intentions of the adults, but today, we naturally have a force to contribute, and we can help the two adults a little, and we will be satisfied." ”

Qi Yuanwai's words were sincere, and the rest of the rich people all sighed in their hearts when they heard it, the family deserves to have a son who travels to study, compared to them, this mouth is like opening the light, such good words can not be said by them, so they simply follow along with it.

"Yes, yes, my lord, Qi Yuanwai is right, let us do our part!"

More than 20 wealthy families who are old and have gained experience are afraid that they will not be able to give away the money on hand.

Zhixing couldn't help laughing: "I said old men, the construction of Tzu An Hall and three private schools is not a small project, plus we have to shorten the construction period as soon as possible, and the cost of hiring workers and materials is not small." ”

"What's more, it's not just the workers who repair the house, when it's completed, the women who take care of the old people and clean up the house will not be less, and they will always add a plus, not to mention a thousand taels of silver, you have worked hard to earn the family business, and you are really willing to put out a sum of money when you are old?"

Qi Yuanwai hurriedly replied: "Where is Lord Liu, it is because of this age that you have to open your mind, how can you do good deeds in a time." ”

Zhixing laughed in his heart when he heard this, but he still nodded his head: "Everyone, the old man is really good, really good!" ”

"It's just ......" he turned his head, and the group was praised, and the heart immediately hung again.

Zhixing continued: "It's just that more than 20 of you have come here, and you all came up with this silver? ”

"That's nature! The little old man brought enough 1,000 taels of silver and was putting it in the carriage! If you agree, I'll be able to bring it in right away! ”

"We've all brought it! A whole thousand taels, a lot of points! ”

This is all done business at home, a simple estimate is not a problem, and the account room has also come up with this amount after a rough estimate, and some have brought more, and they are full of confidence at this time.

Ke Zhixing immediately looked embarrassed when he heard this: "...... How is this good, you all want to make a contribution, but these few places are enough for a thousand taels, and each of you has brought enough silver, which is really too enthusiastic. ”

Everyone looked at each other, which is why they were in a hurry to come first.

Anyone can give this money, and anyone can take this money, but who can be chosen by about 20 people?

A group of old people complained in their hearts at the moment, if they could get the news of the lack of silver in the county earlier, would they still have to worry about coming here one step earlier! It's good now that I'm going to grab this spot with a bunch of old guys who are messing around.

The two people in front of the hall watched quietly, until the twenty or so people looked embarrassed, holding their breath but didn't dare to make any more noise, Zhixing changed his expression, and praised with a smile: "I know that all the old men want to contribute to the construction of the county, and this thought is really moving the juniors." ”

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands: "My lord's words are serious, let's ...... We are also nostalgic for a while. ”

should be praised by Zhixing, but some people think of other places.

A landlord on one side suddenly said, "This ...... My lord, will a thousand taels of silver be enough? ”

"Not to mention the construction of a few places, let's just say that after the construction of the Ci'an Hall, the elderly will have a lot of money to eat and wear, and the employment of helpers will cost a lot, and the Ci'an Hall can't just be an empty shelf for the elderly to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is good to add something from time to time."

As he spoke, he gave the others a lot of ideas, and immediately someone followed.

"Yes, my lord, in addition to hiring a woman to sprinkle and sweep, this cook must also be added, the food must be fresh, and the daily delivery of food must also be arranged."

……

Both of them listened to the frowns, these people ...... This is really determined to send the silver.

Zhixing couldn't help but "ho" and said with a smile: "You guys want to build this Ci'an Hall into a palace. ”

This sentence made everyone's faces turn red, in the end, some old men heard the joke, and quickly coughed a few times to hide their complexions. There are still some people who don't hear it and want to continue.

Seeing that Xing waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, if you keep talking, I'm afraid that you will want to add a girl to take care of things." ”

is a good compound, and finally becomes a big house.

Seeing that a group of people were a little apprehensive and eager to try, Zhixing didn't hang them anymore, and said directly: "We don't know if you really want to give this silver in your hearts, but we don't hide it from you, there is really not much money in the county, and a few places are enough to count a thousand taels, if you are really willing to give this silver, I am also willing to entrust you." ”

Zhixing put away his smiling face and opened his mouth seriously.

How did the gang of good words and words not know, and at this moment they sincerely expressed their loyalty: "No need for adults to speak, who of us here can not be willing, or if they are unwilling and will not come here with silver!" ”

“…… It's just that we have enough to fight with a thousand taels, and I don't know who the adults are going to pick ....... ”

After saying this, he glanced at the two of them tentatively.

Zhixing felt funny in his heart, and finally relieved: "All the old men have a heart to plan for the township, even so, we can't live up to it." ”

"I don't say that this thousand taels of silver has become a fixed amount, but I don't have to take out a whole thousand taels of silver, right?"

The twenties leaned forward, listening to his words, and pretending to be calm.

Zhixing continued: "A thousand taels of silver may not be much for you, but it is also a large amount of silver, all of which is borne by one person, and Master Cheng and I are not happy to go. It is better to divide it evenly among you, and one of you bears fifty taels of silver. ”

"Naturally, you all have a share of this credit, and after the completion of these places, Master Cheng and I will not forget your generosity today." Zhixing paused, and then looked at the faces of this group of people, and it was hard to hide their excitement, and two of them almost got up from their chairs with their mouths open.

He added, "What do you think?" ”

This sentence fell, even if he was calm, he couldn't sit still, and stood up one after another.

Who would have thought that this would be the case! They were prepared to have only one person with blue eyes, but they didn't expect everyone to take a share!

The credit is shared, and he said that he will not forget today, who can not understand what Lord Liu means by this? ! This is a clear indication that the county government remembers them! Fifty taels of silver...... Fifty taels of silver will have a chance to be honored, compared to Old Man Hong, they have taken a big advantage!

Immediately, there was a humane: "My lord! My lord! These fifty taels are too little, we came here for this trip, and only fifty taels of silver were paid, and others will laugh at it when they hear it! ”

"Yes, my lord, in previous years, the township donated, we were all a hundred taels of donations at the bottom, how come you two are not even half here! Don't worry, adults, we have a lot of this silver! ”

The landlords collected rents, and the drought did not affect them, even if they did not collect them two years ago, they have also made up for them in the past two years, not to mention those rich people who do business, although they cannot make silk and satin, but the silver is really accumulated. They came over with a whole thousand taels of silver, but as long as they took out fifty taels, they all felt blushing.

And Zhixing and Qi You made a charter yesterday, how could they change it, more than 20 people, 50 taels per person, which is better than 1,000 taels.

Therefore, no matter what these rich men said, they were only willing to accept fifty taels.
