Duan Ling is okay, as the crown prince, no matter what he says, taking into account the friendship between father and son, His Majesty will not touch Duan Ling.

But a petty official like him can't say for sure, if His Majesty is in a bad mood, maybe it will also endanger his people.

Therefore, Li Lin was willing to take the initiative to hand over the silver.

Li Lin is now the first to hand over his private Yinliang, and the officials below have followed suit.

No matter how much, some silver was donated.

Although it seems to be quite lively, someone has personally delivered silver all day.

However, in the evening, when Lin Liang counted it himself, he sighed.

"Although there are a lot of people, the silver donated is only a few thousand taels, how can I get this."

"How can it be only a few thousand taels?"

Knowing Lin Liang's number, even Duan Ling was taken aback.

"Today, Li Lin alone has donated hundreds of taels, and there is an endless stream of officials coming from the vicinity, not to mention dozens of them, is it possible that everyone has no choice but to donate one hundred and eighty taels?"

"That's not it, I only sent a few ingots of broken silver when I saw one today, and I was embarrassed to say that it was all his net worth and property, which is really ridiculous."

Lin Liang didn't know what these officials thought, they had already reached this juncture, and if the embankment was not built, when the upstream flooded again, the downstream might face some kind of danger.

At this time, they actually kept the silver in their pockets, and once there was a great flood and the people were displaced, I am afraid that these officials would be the first to be cut off.

"In any case, it is important to have people use the money to buy some materials to appease the people. As for the fifteenth side, hasn't it been been asked to go after the carriage that carried the silver out of the city before? Perhaps after the carriage is recovered, the silver will be almost enough. ”

Duan Ling thought about it for a long time, and could only use this excuse to comfort Lin Liang.

Lin Liang sighed helplessly: "I hope so, it's just that it's been a few days, why hasn't the fifteenth come back yet?" ”

It didn't take long for the two of them to speak, and Fifteen had already run in.

However, although he said that he was dusty, there was no joy on his face to recover the silver.

"My lord, madam, we really fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!"

"What's going on?" Fifteen couldn't hide his frustration at this moment.

On that day, his subordinates led his men to chase the carriage all the way, originally thinking that the other party came out of a rich merchant's mansion, naturally to transport silver, and at that time, it was at such a juncture, so he did not do much other thoughts.

Who knew that the other party's carriage took us all the way through countless curves, and it was delayed for a few days, but in the end it was transported into a small farmhouse courtyard. ”

Fifteen naturally took advantage of the night to personally investigate, but found that in addition to the outermost layer of silver, the carriage was filled with only some beast skins and the like, not to mention silver tickets, not even a single ingot of broken silver.

Now, there is something I don't understand in Fifteen.

Perhaps, they have long been treated as monkeys by the person hiding in the shadows.

I rushed over this thousands of miles, but the result was nothing, and it was inevitable that I would be unhappy.

"Since there is no silver in the carriage, then the silver of the rich merchants before is naturally still hidden in the city, maybe the silver that was taken out by counterfeiting seals before has not left the city for the time being, and immediately let people go to the city to search it well!" Duan Ling commanded.

Although Fifteen said that he had just rushed back, he also knew that he was not doing his job well, so he immediately took the order and left.

Lin Liang and Duan Ling were also in slightly hidden locations in the city, and began to search for them vigorously.

After a whole day, someone came to report.

It is said that in a nearby village, someone accidentally fell into the river while walking at night.

However, when the people who learned the news went to try to save him ashore, they found that they could not pull him up.

At first, I thought it was the big luxuriant growth of aquatic plants in the water, which entangled the two people.

Later, more and more people appeared, only to find that there were several heavy cloth bags in the water.

The two of them were pressed by the cloth bags entangled in water and weeds, and they couldn't break free for half a day.

After Duan Ling and Lin Liang got the news, they naturally took people to investigate as soon as possible.

It took a lot of effort to get those cloth bags out of the river.

"Why did such a big cloth bag end up in the river?"

Duan Ling was also confused, pulled out the sword he carried at his waist, and slashed at the corner of the bag.

After this corner was cut open, it was discovered that there was a snow-white light hidden inside.

Duan Ling was overjoyed for a moment, and after tearing a bigger hole along the opening, white silver immediately rolled out.

"It turns out that we've been finding silver before, and it's actually here!"

Lin Liang didn't care about anything else at this time, and squatted down beside Duan Ling.

Holding the silver, I only felt a lot of emotion.

"It took a lot of effort to finally find it."

"Great! I've finally got my money back! ”

Fifteen couldn't hide his excitement, and all of these cloth bags were silver.

In this case, the money for the construction of the dam should be sufficient.

"Tell the good news to the county magistrate, and the people in the vicinity, and order them to send all this money to the county magistrate's office." Duan Ling commanded.

Suddenly I saw so much silver, but I didn't dare anyone to be greedy in the slightest.

followed Duan Ling and carried all the silver to the county magistrate's office.

With what happened last time, it was obvious that the prefectural order was much more careful this time.

put all the silver in the private vault behind him, and handed over the keys to Duan Ling.

"The lower official knew that he had not taken enough precautions before, so he deliberately gave the key to the adult. It should be safest to have an adult to keep it. ”

Of course, Duan Ling was not polite to the county order, and directly accepted the key.

Now that the money has been found, there is naturally enough money to buy materials for the construction of the embankment.

When the people heard the good news, they were overjoyed.

After all, Duan Ling had already ordered people to take out some silver and give it to the local people as wages for building the embankment in the past few days.

With wages, the people will work harder.

Duan Ling left the government before dawn and personally led the people to take charge of the relevant embankment construction work.

It is often when it is dark that I can't see it, and then I come back with a body of wind and frost.
