Chapter 90 The Gambler
"When I was 7 years old, I had no relatives and was sent to a welfare home, which had a lot of rules, but it still allowed me to stay in peace for two years and make a lot of friends.
When I was nine years old, I was adopted by a couple who spent their days loitering around and stealing to make ends meet, eventually selling me to traffickers because I owed money.
I thought I was going to be in darkness for the rest of my life. As a result, it didn't take long for the local police to crack the trafficking organization, and we, the abducted children, were rescued.
One by one, the police contacted the families of the abducted and trafficked children and asked them to pick them up. But in addition to me, there are three other orphans, they are my third brother Chen Mingfu, my fourth brother Chen Hanzhang and my fifth brother Chen Zhijie.
Originally, the police were going to send us to the orphanage next door. But at this time, the mother of the second sister Chen Shuling came, and when she saw that we were pitiful, she took all four of us brothers home.
My mother is also a single-parent family, and it is not easy to pull the second sister alone, and there are 4 more brothers at once, so that life is very difficult.
In order not to starve, my mother had to work several jobs a day. Coupled with the state's poverty grants, this barely pulls us all up. ”
"It's all over, and now that you're all older, aren't your days slowly getting better?"
Zhang Shuo listened to Chen Yijun's narration, and was a little silent for a while, not knowing how to persuade the other party.
Like Chen Yijun, Zhang Shuo is also an orphan, raised in an orphanage, although he has suffered a lot of grievances in the orphanage, but he is quite stable, without Chen Yijun's ups and downs.
"Yes, we also think the same way, all our five siblings are working hard when they become adults, just thinking that our mother can enjoy happiness in her old age.
Half a year ago, my mother was diagnosed with advanced chorioepithelial cancer, and it took 2 million federal dollars to be able to be cured by surgery, (thousands of years of history, in this period, cancer is no longer incurable) otherwise it won't last long.
We are all poor, where did we get so much money, in the past six months, in order to stabilize my mother's condition, we not only did not scrape together enough 2 million, but also spent more than 30 yuan of our original savings.
Now my mother can no longer speak, so she is lying in a hospital bed, relying on infusions to keep her alive, and she may die at any time. ”
Chen Yijun said and was silent. And Zhang Shuo was also silent, he was not a fool, he understood that Chen Yijun was clearly going to borrow money from him when he said this.
And Zhang Shuo was also very hesitant. If it weren't for "Dynasty", he might not have seen 1 million in his life, and now that he has money, it is impossible for him to squander it so wantonly. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Shuo can't be sure whether what Chen Yijun said is true or false.
After the two were silent for a long time, Chen Yijun sent a message again, which was the information of their family, as well as his mother's pathological diagnosis, and the proof of the huge expenses of the hospital in the past few years.
At the same time, Chen Yijun bluntly said that as long as Zhang Shuo is willing to fund them with 1.87 million federal coins to treat their mother's illness, the lives of their four brothers will be entrusted to Zhang Shuo. Whatever you ask them to do.
At the same time, the second sister of the Chen family also sent a private message, as long as Zhang Shuo chooses to help her mother treat her illness, she is willing to give everything to Zhang Shuo, but the premise is that she can't let her family know.
Zhang Shuo naturally understood what Chen Shuling meant, but he still hesitated. First of all, the authenticity of the matter cannot be determined, and secondly, after their own funding, whether they will fulfill their promises is another question.
"What is your account ID?"
One hour later, Zhang Shuo replied. Just now, he has spent money to investigate on the online platform, and the statements of these brothers and sisters are basically consistent with the information given by the platform. Although the possibility of forgery is not ruled out, if the information can be falsified as fake, then Zhang Shuo has nothing to say. In ancient times, there were kings who bought horse bones, and now there are Zhang Shuo's millions to save Chen's mother.
"Brother Zhang!?"
Chen Yijun was just sick and rushed to the doctor, and he didn't expect that Zhang Shuo was really willing to fund them for 2 million, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Chen Yijun, who came back to his senses, hurriedly sent his account ID, and with a prompt tone, two million federal coins entered Chen Yijun's game account.
"Thank you for your kindness! Brother Zhang's great grace, our four brothers are toothless and unforgettable, and in the future, we will go to Daoshan and go down to the sea of fire. Our four brothers will never frown! ”
"Brother Chen is serious, I don't dare to let you serve me to death, I just hope you won't bear me in the future! This 2 million is my brother's advance salary for you. ”
After appeasing Chen Yijun and Chen Shuling for a while, Zhang Shuo logged back into the game. In a moment, the game time has reached midnight on February 2nd, and in another hour, the morning court will begin.
……
Under the service of the maid, Zhang Shuo came to the Tianqing Palace, looking at the twenty ministers of His Royal Highness, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but think of the scene when he had just taken over the Qianguo, and for a while, a lot of pride arose.
"The monarch has arrived, and he will give a great salute!"
Colliers shouted in a deep voice, and the courtiers under the throne knelt down one after another. It stands to reason that Gao Lishi, who is the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, does not need to do his old job. However, due to the lack of talents in all aspects of Qianguo, Zhang Shuo did not speak, and Gao Lishi could only work part-time.
"Mountain Call!"
"Hooray!"
"Mountain Call!"
"Hooray!"
"Again the mountain!"
"Long live the monarch!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
"Long live thanks!"
"At the beginning of the early dynasty, the ministers had their own music, and they had nothing to do to retreat from the dynasty~~"
As soon as Gao Lishi's words fell, Zhang Shuo took the lead in speaking without waiting for the ministers to play.
"Where is Xie Shang, the director of the Du Branch Division?"
"Wechen is here!"
Looking at Xie Shang, who was out of the ranks, Zhang Shuo nodded with satisfaction, "It's already the second now, can the officials' salaries and soldiers' salaries be paid in January?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's already been distributed. According to statistics, our country should pay 53,763 stone 7 buckets and 8 liters in January. According to the king's wishes, in addition to the food needed by officials and their families, the rest of the silver was distributed at a conversion price of 25 copper coins per liter. The detailed expenses have been registered, please take a look at the monarch! ”
Xie Shang said, took out a thick account book from his arms, thinking that he had already expected Zhang Shuo's inquiry and was fully prepared.
And Xie Shang was able to accomplish such a complicated thing in a short period of time, not only because of Xie Shang's outstanding ability, but also because Zhang Shuo transferred Cen Wenwen to the Du Branch Division to help.
The Degree Branch Department is the only organization in the current departments of Qianguo, except for the Education Department, that has been equipped with deputies of historical ministers.
