On the same day, Bao Mian was carried back.

Bao Zheng no longer dared to hand him over to Cao Bin to teach, so he took him back to his station.

But how can the turmoil in the hearts of young people be locked by spatial distance?

Within a few days, just as Cao Bin was working, Bao Mian came to the door again:

"Uncle Cao, I haven't learned your knowledge yet, I want to learn more by your side."

Cao Bin glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you still want to go to Ruyifang?" ”

Bao Mian hurriedly shook his head and said very seriously:

"No, no, I'm sure I can control myself."

Cao Bin patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Rongxing, it's a good thing to have confidence in yourself, but don't underestimate the temptations of the world."

"Sometimes, as long as you open your mouth, you can always find a reason for your greed and indulgence."

"For example, for filial piety, for righteousness, for the overall situation......"

Hearing this, Bao Mian's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"It turns out that the purpose of the uncle is to train me, the so-called gentleman is cautious and independent, and does not deceive the dark room, Bao Mian understands."

Cao Bin nodded incomprehensibly and said, "It's good that you know." ”

At this moment, the new Wang Tongju came to Cao Bin with a bitter face and said:

"Uncle, there is no money in the state treasury, and the officials may not be able to pay their salaries this month."

Cao Bin was surprised: "From the confiscated family property of the Xiangyang Palace, isn't there a part of the state government that has been embezzled?" Master Bao hasn't sent someone to deliver it yet? ”

Wang Tongju said with a bitter face:

"We went to ask for it, but Master Bao didn't allow it, he said that the family property confiscated from the Xiangyang Palace should be sent to the court first."

"If the state government wants silver, it must be put on the court first......"

Cao Bin said: "In other words, the silver of the state government was embezzled by the Xiangyang Palace, and it became the silver of the imperial court?" ”

Wang Tongju nodded and said: "That's what Master Bao meant, but it will take a long time to wait for the imperial court to issue an official document." ”

He didn't say all about the joints, the court was actually very stingy, how could they easily distribute the silver that had already been received to the locality? Unless there is a catastrophe!

Cao Bin couldn't help but complain to Bao Mian:

"See, this is your uncle, if I had known this, Benjue would not have easily handed over the confiscated property to him."

Bao Mian smiled awkwardly and asked, "What is the uncle going to do?" ”

Cao Bin pondered for a while and said with a smile: "The wool is out of the sheep, since it is the money embezzled by the king of Xiangyang, let them spit it out." ”

Wang Tong was puzzled: "Wasn't the Xiangyang Royal Mansion copied by the uncle, how can I ask for the silver again?" ”

Cao Bin shook his head and sighed:

"Benjue can also be regarded as a good deed, although the king of Xiangyang has been convicted, but in the end, it is a relative of the emperor, and the funeral still has to be done in a big way, this time I will help Princess Xiangyang."

As he spoke, he picked up his brush and began to write the announcement.

Wang Tongju and Bao Mian hurriedly stepped forward to watch, only to see a water's vernacular:

Do you want to visit the palace? Do you want to experience what it's like to stay in a royal palace? Go and help King Xiangyang handle the funeral!

Those who carry flags can stay for two nights and need to tattoo 100 taels of silver, and fake filial piety can stay for 7 nights and need to tattoo 1,000 taels of silver......

The two of them were dumbfounded, what the hell is selling the palace as an inn!

Although it is said to be a beautiful name to help the royal government hold a funeral, the actual purpose is to make money.

And when you think about it, this method doesn't seem to be a transgression.

The person who helped with the funeral can be regarded as a subordinate hired by the palace.

Stay in the palace! It is likely that some wealthy businessmen will not be able to resist the temptation of this gimmick and enthusiastically contribute money and efforts.

It was only at this time that Bao Mian understood what his uncle meant when he said that Uncle Zhongjing had always acted unbelievably.

Is this a solution that a normal person can come up with?

...... But why do you feel a little bit of anticipation in your heart?

Wang Tong judged: "Uncle, really put this notice out? ”

Cao Bin glanced at him and said, "Of course, otherwise what would Ben Jue do when he wrote it?" ”

As expected, after this notice was posted, it immediately caused a big wave in Xiangzhou, and the people talked about it.

There is no shortage of rich people anywhere, especially Xiangyang, a big city known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces?

Moreover, the status of merchants in this era is not very high, and when they encounter this kind of insightful thing, it is like a bee encountering syrup, and they have rushed over.

After hearing the news, some businessmen even rushed to Xiangyang from other state capitals.

In just three or four days, the Xiangyang Prefecture Ya received 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of silver, all of which were contributed by people who wanted to attend the funeral of King Xiangyang.

Wang Tongju was crazy with happiness, he didn't expect such a ridiculous idea to be so profitable.

You know, it's also very uncomfortable to be called on for salary, and now there is finally no shortage of money.

Bao Mian was also shocked, he never knew that making money was so simple, the state government didn't pay anything, so he let those businessmen take the initiative to pay for it.

He had never seen so much silver, especially since Cao Bin had asked him to manage the accounts.

With so much silver in his hands, he felt very excited.

At this time, Cao Bin had already rushed to the Xiangyang Palace, he thought that he had done a good deed, and he had to inform the Princess of Xiangyang, after all, he didn't want to be an unsung hero.

And those who want to mourn should also arrange it carefully, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble......

Qin Cha Xingyuan.

Bao Zheng was watching Cao Bin's notice.

Zhan Zhao asked:

"Master Bao, do you just let Zhongjing Bohu come, and Bao Gongzi, why don't you find him back?"

Bao Zheng rolled up the notice, squinted and shook his head, and said:

"Let's look at the situation, as long as he doesn't take Rongxing to do anything excessive, this government is happy to watch."

As he spoke, he muttered:

"As for the funeral of the king of Xiangyang, what Zhongjing Bo did did not clearly violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was also for the state finances."

"The government won't meddle in any of its own affairs."

Then, he showed a rare smile and made a joke:

"In fact, the Xiangyang Royal Mansion is also made by the imperial court, not a local industry in Xiangzhou, and it stands to reason that the silver earned by Zhongjingbo should also be handed over to the imperial court!"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao seemed to think of Cao Bin's wonderful expression when Bao Zheng went to confiscate the silver, and couldn't help laughing.

Bao Zheng waved his hand and said:

"Zhan Guard, you escort some of the silver to the state office, the government just felt that they wanted too much, so it was a little difficult, but I didn't expect Zhongjing Bo to find another way."

"Now that most of the shops in Xiangyang have been closed and the people have no livelihood, Xiangzhou is a difficult time, so don't be embarrassed."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly agreed and left......
