Chapter Eighty-Eight: Not Bad Money
Five thousand taels of silver, this is not a small amount in that place, and the head of the Liu family is not unable to take it out, but he feels that Wang Li is too greedy.
But among Great Qin, this official still has a very strong right to speak, if these squires are allowed to openly oppose the officials of Great Qin, this is unlikely to appear, but this is secretly unknown.
But in the face of five thousand taels of silver, the head of the Liu family categorically would not agree, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, the villain, who is a small family, knows that the adult has a pure heart and wants to do something good for the people of Pengcheng, but these five thousand taels of silver is already all the savings of our Liu family, if the adults take it all, then everyone in my Liu family will have to drink the northwest wind, so my lord, you see, can it be less, then our Liu family is the right person to make up, after all, it is not easy for adults to come to visit, It's just that in the future, adults will be on the ground in Pengcheng, and it will be better for our Liu family. ”
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this Wang Li had just come here, in Xiao He's mind, these families could never be offended, when he was in Pei County before, Xiao He knew the ability of these families.
Every county government and even the county government, eight or nine out of ten officials and servants are people from these families, if they offend these families, then the orders in Pengcheng will be difficult.
There are a lot of things that are contrary to the yang and yin, so before Wang Li could speak, Xiao He stood up and said: "Our son-in-law, if you want to do something good for the people of Pengcheng, it will naturally be inseparable from your support when the time comes. ”
Looking at Xiao He, the head of the Liu family felt that this was the person in the officialdom, and when he saw Wang Li, he was a young man, and he didn't understand the officialdom of this Great Qin.
Immediately said: "Sir, I don't know if this silver money matter can be a little less and do something for the people of Pengcheng, then we are not sincere, but we also have to eat, we can't starve ourselves." ”
After Xiao He thought about it for a while, he said: "What our son-in-law has to do costs a lot, but if it really makes you pay too much money, then our son-in-law will not be happy in his heart, your Liu family is the number one family in this Pengcheng, or you will take two thousand taels of silver to support our son-in-law." ”
The face of the head of the Liu family is still a little gloomy, but he knows that if this official comes, it is okay to take some of himself, and he will always double it back, don't be like the former county guard, if the oil and salt are not entered, no one will be comfortable at that time.
He said with a gloomy face: "Two thousand taels of silver, our Liu family is out, since the future on the ground of Pengcheng, if there is anything, I have to take care of it." ”
At this time, Wang Li said: "Although, the head of the Liu family, as long as your Liu family does not do things that endanger the people, and at the same time abides by the law, it will naturally not be a problem." ”
The head of the Liu family laughed, but he didn't take it to heart, thinking that what Wang Li said was a scene.
Wang Li followed this method and went to fight the autumn wind, turned the entire squire family in Pengcheng around, and got a lot of silver.
Because Wang Li's approach was really immoral, these squires gathered together again, after all, Wang Li was already seriously unruly, and these squires couldn't swallow this loss like this.
The money given to Wang Li must be recovered, and if you can't find it from above, you can only find it from below, so these squires are thinking about how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment.
But Wang Li didn't know this, and thought that these squires were really good people, and he couldn't treat them badly in the future.
Immediately, Wang Li and a group of people in the county government issued a notice to the effect that: "As long as you are serving as a servant and repairing water conservancy, the government will supply food every day, and there will be two taels of money a day." ”
In the Qin Dynasty, it was really not a low treatment, but after the king left for a whole day, he found that no one came to report, and he thought that his price was lower, so he changed the two yuan to four yuan.
But no one came, which made Wang Li wonder, now the government levies forced labor, which is not paid, and some even have to bring their own food, but at that time there were still some people who came, but now it is good, they pay their own money and goods, but no one wants to come.
He looked at his military advisor again and said, "Sir, why is this the money and food for this, but no one wants to come." ”
Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Son, in the past, they were also reluctant to go, but there was really no way, the official mansion was pressed down layer by layer, and they had to go if they didn't go." ”
"Now Childe's method is good, but those people's thoughts have always been artificial, this conscription is conscription, there is still money there, and Childe needs to be voluntary, these people are not stupid, so of course they don't want to come."
"But it's also easy, Childe might as well send two people to stir up in those crowds, and naturally he will admit to sign up."
Wang Li came directly to the front of the notice and said: "I am Wang Li, the new county guard of Pengcheng, and now we have a drought in Pengcheng for many years, and we need everyone to work together, and we have only survived this drought. Let everyone come to work without worries. ”
Some of the people below were still a little hesitant, but after all, they were bold, and a strong young man hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, you can really give money first, my mother is seriously ill, and now I don't have money to see a doctor, if the adults give money, then I will go to work." ”
Wang Li looked at the young man, and also knew that this person was not easy, if he wanted to be the first to stand up, it must be a last resort, Wang Li didn't say a word, and took out one hundred and twenty yuan and put it in the young man's hand.
said: "This is your thirty days' salary, you can go to your mother to see a doctor first." ”
The young man hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to Wang Li a few times, and went back after registering.
And those people saw that Wang Li really gave money, and they came forward one after another, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Xiao He quietly pulled Wang Li down and said, "Son, you gave them the first money, what if they don't come when the time comes." ”
Wang Li didn't care, and said: "Sir, I, Wang Li, am sincere to people, and if I want to write that these people will leave after taking the money, then I will look away, and besides, my Wang Li has everything, but he is not short of money." ”
