"Ming Jian Si is also the sharpest knife in the imperial court, how can there be such a shortage of silver?"

Ji Yuan frowned slightly, and his heart became more and more confused.

According to this, it was very difficult for the Ming Jian Division to even maintain its operation, and his life was more crying than that of the Qing Shui Yamen.

At least people won't be so poor that they can't even afford to make a fortune!

Xu Lin smiled bitterly, his face was full of melancholy, he was really a little difficult to say, and he didn't even know how to say it.

Seeing this, Qian Nishang on the side turned to the two people not far away, and asked them to wait outside the small courtyard first.

After there was really no one else in the courtyard, Tianjiao, who was valued by the master of the Mingjian Division, opened his mouth helplessly and told some little-known things.

The strength of the Ming Jian Division is indeed very strong, but it is precisely because of this that it has received countless constraints.

At the beginning of its establishment, even in the usual hundreds of years, although the Ming Jian Division has always been short of silver, it only needs to ask the imperial court for it, and it will be approved as soon as possible.

However, it is now the year 794 of Tianwu, and the founding emperor on the dragon chair is also more than 800 years old.

Although it is said that he has taken countless heavenly treasures and has lasted for two or three hundred years, this emperor fought in all directions when he was young, and damaged a lot of vitality, and now it is the limit to be able to live to be more than eight hundred years old.

Perhaps because he was worried that the world would be in chaos after his death, or that there were people with bad intentions who wanted to usurp the throne, His Majesty the Emperor continued to reduce the expenses of various ministries and even the army in the past ten years.

"Actually, most of the Mingjian Division branches are quite nourishing."

Xu Lin stopped and did not continue to discuss the affairs of the imperial court, and the conversation fell on other colleagues.

As far as he knows, in fact, many of his colleagues are living a very good life, and they are really not short of silver at all.

It is mainly because people have a good way to make money, and although they need to obey the laws of the imperial court, they can always think of ways to make money.

It's not like the Ming Jian Division of Luoxia County, in order to make some money, he even hit the ideas on the forces of all parties, and he spoke ill of each other when he didn't agree, wishing that these guys who were originally unclean in their hands and feet would be dizzy and attack the people in the court.

"Did you know that there is a method in officialdom called voluntary donation?"

Ji Yuan groaned for a while, and asked with a little hesitation.

Xu Lin naturally knew about this kind of method that could be called a bad street, and even the Mingjian Division of Luoxia County had made up his mind in this regard.

It's just that this group of knife-wielding people wants them to scream and rush up and break the demon murderer's body into thousands of pieces, but it is a little impossible to do this kind of thing.

After a few attempts, it almost caused a bunch of jokes, and I had to stop there.

After hearing this, Ji Yuan didn't know how to comment, whether to praise them for their strong force, or to despise them for being naïve enough?

However, he also took this matter to heart, and always felt that if he used it properly, he might be able to pull a Ming Jian Division as a help for himself.

After a few words of greeting, he and Qian Nishang said goodbye and hurried back to Mingxinxuan all the way.

Although he successfully won over Xu Lin and used his identity to deter the group of people in the county office, it was not that everything was fine.

The preparations that should be made still have to be done, the things that should continue must not be left behind, and even they have to do their best to guard against some damage from the shadows.

These people can be sent by the forces behind them, and none of them are mediocre people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a group of old foxes.

On the surface, they are indeed afraid of Xu Lin and the Ming Jian Division behind him, but there will be no fear in their hearts, how to do it or how to do it.

At best, they turned from light to dark, and as long as there was no tangible evidence, even the Ming Jian Division could not do anything to them.

However, for today's Qian Nishang, as long as this group of people can't make a move on the surface, it is already the best situation.

Otherwise, it would have taken so long and spent so much hard work

In the end, the people of the county guard mansion represented the imperial court, and they only needed to issue a public notice to transfer all their efforts to their own hands.

Compared with the rich squires, the common people still prefer to believe in the imperial court.

Now that Xu Lin has made a statement, at least the people in the county guard will not dare to act like this, and everything will have room for maneuver.

And for all the secret hands, Qian Nishang is not afraid, but he has been crisscrossing the county for twenty or thirty years, and he is in charge of a huge Qian family, as well as a third of Ming Xinxuan, how can he not have some hard means!

So as soon as she returned to Mingxinxuan, she began to arrange all kinds of things, swept away the previous boredom, and showed a high-spirited look.

And when he was busy for a while, Ji Yuan had already returned to his own hut and silently opened the furnace for alchemy.

In order to refine the pill he urgently needed, he really delayed for several days, and now that not only Dancheng, but most of his injuries have also recovered, it is time to pick up the shelved task.

The three pills used by Ming Xinxuan now, all of their pills were made by him, and there was naturally no difficulty in refining them.

Even with Ji Yuan's Dan Dao attainments, coupled with the brass Dan furnace, it can be refined into a furnace almost every half an hour, and the efficiency is far beyond that of ordinary Dan masters.

It's just that even if he and the other three Dan Masters go all out to refine the pills, it will never be possible to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people in a city, and the pills refined these days can only be given priority to the people in need, but even so, it is still too far behind.

However, Ming Xinxuan didn't think that this would solve the current situation in the city, and these pills were just to buy more time.

Disaster relief is not a simple matter, and it is not said that a large handful of silver can be thrown out to quell the disaster that occurs.

Even if it is the imperial court's action, it will take a long time, let alone a chamber of commerce with not much financial resources?

After more than 20 days of arrangement, Qian Nishang has already scattered all the people in her hands, set up a number of disaster relief points in the county, and transported a large number of materials from all directions.

Each of these disaster relief sites has a different focus, some have more food reserves, some are dedicated to treating the sick and wounded, and so on.

Since the opening of the disaster relief site, there have been Ming Xinxuan's men, as well as doctors and laborers hired at a high price, who have been busy almost day and night.

With the arrival of a large number of supplies from all over the world, these relief sites are truly operational.

That night, hundreds of people were already lined up, waiting for their turn in an orderly manner.

After a month of suffering, they no longer have any extra strength to toss, even if tens of thousands of people are gathered in one place, they can hardly hear any conversation.

For several days, a faint layer of golden light flowed on Qian Nishang's body, and a clear breath quietly gathered.

Not only her, as long as she participates in disaster relief, even if she receives a salary, she can also share a little merit.

Heaven and earth often judge merit and sin not by what you are for, but by what you have really done.

The reason why Qian Nishang came here for disaster relief, even at the expense of pressing most of his net worth, was to obtain merit, so as to satisfy the exercises he had cultivated, and successfully entered the Three Realms.

But no matter what her purpose is, it is always to dispel the resentment between heaven and earth, and prevent further disasters from happening, so that the whole place will not turn into purgatory, and everywhere will be dead and desolate.

In this way, one can naturally gain the approval of heaven and earth, and thus obtain a huge amount of merit.

It was only after a few days that the city was suddenly plunged back into chaos.

Some people who had healed their injuries and had eaten food began to ask Ming Xinxuan's disaster relief point to give more under the encouragement of well-intentioned people!

They are no longer satisfied with a white flour steamed bun and a potato or two a day, nor are they satisfied with a few bowls of gruel and pickles, but they are required to be able to eat fragrant white rice and have a piece of meat for a meal.

However, this kind of want

How can a request be satisfied?

Qian Nishang and his men from Ming Xinxuan came here for disaster relief rather than simply doing good deeds, and the amount of materials prepared was indeed huge, but it was impossible to supply meat.

White flour and white rice alone have already cost countless amounts of silver, and if you prepare meat again, not to mention the problem of storage, how to satisfy the hundreds of thousands of people in a city is the key!

"The owner, it is already rumored among the people that the silver we use for disaster relief is actually given by the imperial court."

In Mingxinxuan, Liu Ruyan said with a disgruntled face: "There are even rumors that the imperial court gave enough silver for everyone to eat meat, but we swallowed it privately!"

As for why there are such rumors, there is almost no need to think about it, it must be a good thing done by the group of people in the county government.

They didn't dare to disobey Xu Lin's statement, but it was limited to the open, and the methods in the secret could be said to be endless, and some pickled things were even more handy.

Now, under the operation of these people, the rumor has spread to the ears of more than half of the people in just two or three hours.

Some people are skeptical, or think that being able to make white flour steamed buns and gruel is already very good, but many more are convinced of it, feeling that what belongs to them has been stolen.

As a result, outside the various disaster relief points in Ming Xinxuan, a large number of troublemakers have gathered, and they surrounded the disaster relief points everywhere, shouting that Ming Xinxuan would spit out the stolen things.

And those who took the lead among them have basically been bewitched and bought by the various forces that came here in the county town, and they are trying their best to incite the people who are already on the verge of collapse.

This trick is not very clever, but it is practical and labor-saving enough, and with just a slight instigation, the people who have suffered from despair for a month immediately and completely explode, venting all their emotions on Ming Xinxuan.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Liu Ruyan asked, and several guys around him were also anxious.

Because of these people's actions, the disaster relief can no longer continue, and the supplies they have prepared cannot even be delivered, and the outside is full of shouting people.

The whole county is already full of grievances, all kinds of negative emotions are almost rushing into the sky, and the situation may change from shouting to forcibly breaking into disaster relief points at any time, everything that can be seen.

In this case, the accumulation of merits on Qian Nishang's body has stopped, and even the merits that have already been received are disappearing at a slow speed and returning to heaven and earth.

"Inform Boss Xu that it's time to do it."

Qian Nishang sat in the lobby of Ming Xinxuan, knocked on the table with her fingers, and suddenly said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a fellow ran out of the gate and rushed all the way into the distance.

In less than half an hour, a large number of gang members appeared on the streets of the city, led by the Three Knife Society, and gathered twenty or thirty large and small gangs, all of which gathered outside all the relief points from various places.

These gang members are fierce and vicious, and just by standing there, they scared away many troublesome people, and the rest of them also beat drums in their hearts.

Even if some people don't believe in evil and are still unwilling to retreat, they will be beaten by gang members on the spot, and after the beating, they will be sent directly to the disaster relief site for treatment by the doctors who have been prepared for treatment.

As a result, the chaos that had not existed for a long time was quickly quelled, and order was restored to the various relief sites.

Many people dare not speak out about this, and if they mutter a few more words, they will be heard by the gang members, and they will be glared at a few times, or they will be dragged out and beaten violently.

Although the method is simple and crude, it is unexpectedly easy to use, and no one dares to make trouble anymore.

"Be prepared, those people won't have that as much as they do."

Listening to the guy's return, Qian Nishang commanded with a solemn face.

The real wrestling between her and the group has only just begun.
