Kawajo Taishou Mansion.

Chief Xun opened the treasury, considering that Luo Lingzhi only brought Bai Wulan to take the silver, so in order to facilitate the carrying, he gave the gold in the inventory to Luo Lingzhi.

"Here are four thousand taels of gold, Miss Luo, look at what's wrong. If nothing else, I'll have the four boxes sealed. After Chief Xun pointed out the corresponding gold, he asked people to put it in the box and only show it to Luo Lingzhi.

The box was opened, and the gold inside was also put in piece by piece under her nose, and Cui Taishou also counted on her to help clear the river, so naturally he would not let Chief Xun do anything in the middle.

"No problem."

Luo Lingzhi nodded, "The silver for the grain is now paid off." However, shouldn't Cui Taishou, the salary of nearly 50,000 people, tell me? ”

Cui Taishou's heart ached suddenly, but he couldn't treat this as if he hadn't heard it.

"Luo Niangzi, you also saw it, the silver in my treasury is like this, I gave 400,000 pieces of silver to Luo Niangzi to you, and the rest is only 900,000 taels of silver, which also includes all the net worth of me and Xun Chang and the officials under the city and the people in the city donations, it's really gone!"

Luo Lingzhi was a little surprised that Cui Taishou and the others were able to take out all their savings. I have a little more affection for them in my heart, but her silver is not blown by the wind, and the wages of nearly 50,000 people are not a small number.

"Wulan, how much silver should be paid to those 50,000 people so far?"

She didn't know exactly how much Luo Lingzhi was, but she knew that the person next to her must remember it firmly.

Bai Wulan didn't let her wait long, and directly reported the data, "A few days ago, it was just repairing the embankment, and the number of participants was less than 4,000, so it only cost 5,320 taels of silver, but more than 40,000 people began to be added yesterday, and nearly 50,000 people all participated in the project, and nearly 30,000 taels of silver were needed for one day yesterday alone, not counting last night's grain transportation." ”

"Then it will already cost 40,000 taels of silver."

It's really not spent.

Although Luo Lingzhi had just earned 400,000 taels of silver, he still couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Bai Wulan nodded and continued: "This is just the beginning, the dredging of the river is not something that can be completed in three or five days, I have calculated, according to the current progress, it will take ten days to completely remove the silt from all the rivers and widen the main rivers." In addition, it is necessary to plan the waterway in the southeast according to the specific situation, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days, which is still in the case of smoothness, so the final cost of silver is not a million silver, and 600,000 is absolutely indispensable. ”

Knock –

Choi Tae-shou fell directly from the chair.

"How much?"

didn't need to be helped by others, Cui Taishou stood up by himself, and pointed at Bai Wulan tremblingly: "I'm afraid you kid is not a white-faced and black-hearted kid, 600,000 taels of silver, why don't you grab it?" ”

was pointed at his nose and scolded, Bai Wulan was not in a hurry, he was as steady as Mount Tai, and said slowly: "Cui Taishou should know that I am still based on the most optimistic situation." ”

"No money!"

Cui Taishou shook his head straight, if the 600,000 taels of silver were given, then the treasury of the Sichuan City Mansion would be really empty. What if there is an urgent matter in the future and there is nothing left?

"If you don't give it, it's impossible for me to pay this money, right?"

Luo Lingzhi immediately raised his eyebrows, "Cui Taishou, you are the Taishou of this Sichuan City, I am not." How can anyone give you so much money for no reason! Besides, I don't have so much silver, and I have to pay more than half of the 400,000 yuan to the grain merchants in Huainan, so I really think that the grain was given to me by them for nothing! ”

Seeing that Luo Lingzhi was arrogantly using Huainan as a shield, Bai Wulan just smiled faintly.

In fact, as long as Luo Niangzi is willing to go to Huainan, let alone give food for nothing, but give everything you have. However, Luo Niangzi had her own plans, and she didn't think about attaching to Huainan at all.

Hearing Luo Lingzhi say this, Cui Taishou couldn't figure out how much silver she had, but it was obvious that the other party didn't intend to be the wronged leader. But there is only so much silver in the treasury, and I have to prepare for the large crops near the Luoshui tributary that cannot be saved, so I have to spend no more money to buy food.

Cui Taishou sighed, "Ben Taishou also knows that it is really inappropriate to let Luo Niangzi give you money, but I can't help it." The current situation, you are also clear, once the crops can not be saved, even if they barely survive the flood this time, the people of Sichuan City will still be unable to escape the fate of death everywhere. Although they have tightened their belts and barely survived in the past few years, how can they compare with those refugees outside who have been desperately struggling on the line of life and death for three or four years, to put it mildly, six or seven out of ten people have eaten human flesh. ”

Luo Lingzhi himself fled all the way with the two small ones, how could he not know what was clear outside. Cui Taishou's words still leave room for the real situation to only get worse.

But she didn't say anything, just looked at Cui Taishou.

"At that time, hundreds of thousands of people in this city still don't know how many people will survive!"

Cui Taishou wiped his tears, and then sold miserably, not to mention that Ben Taishou was too shou, "Even if I am for the sake of these 400,000 people, I can't help but be cheeky and beg Luo Niangzi to think of a way, how to save them?" ”

Chief Xun didn't speak, just lowered his head and pondered.

Actually, there is another way!

After a long time, Chief Xun raised his head and looked directly at Bai Wulan, and suddenly spoke, "Huainan has been dormant for nearly four years, and now there is enough grain and grass, and the army is estimated to have been training for a long time. Now, the world is in turmoil. Duanwang clenched the pot and didn't let go, and Cui Yu had a victory or defeat in several battles, but we all know that Duanwang's army is not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and he can eat anything, once the court does not replenish the supplies in time, Cui Yu's food shortage will undoubtedly be defeated, and when the time comes, Kyoto will be all returned to Duanwang, and one person will occupy the four northern states, Huainan will be his second step! ”

"Yes!"

Bai Wulan nodded, not denying Chief Xun's speculation.

Didn't you talk about silver?

How did you suddenly jump to the general trend of the country!

Although Luo Lingzhi felt that the topic had jumped too quickly, she still pricked up her ears and listened carefully. The nemesis hasn't woken up yet, so he can't let his base suddenly disappear! And even if she didn't know anything, it wouldn't work.

Chief Xun didn't get a good night's sleep for a few days, and he looked really haggard, but his eyes were scorching, he looked straight at Bai Wulan, and continued to say in a deep voice: "King Beixin occupies the southwest, unlike King Duan's fierce attack, fighting and retreating all the way seems to be just beating the side drum, but in fact, he has long occupied both sides of the Huai River silently, staring at Huainan with fierce eyes. I'm afraid that today, King Beixin is still sitting in the palace of Huainan and talking to the king of Huainan! can win Huainan over by means of wooing, King Beixin naturally doesn't want to waste a soldier, but is King Huainan willing? ”

This guy can really talk about it!

Luo Lingzhi subconsciously looked up to see Bai Wulan's reaction.
