Chapter 218: Want to Be Good? No way
After that, it happened, but that doesn't mean that all the troubles have been completely solved.
The western suburbs need to be blocked, the news arranged, and the patrol be arranged to prevent all parties from prying eyes.
A large number of people have lost in the west of the city, and it is also necessary to arrange the aftermath and deal with it properly.
There is even the matter of the Confucian family, a local gentry, who urgently needs to collect evidence, participate in impeachment, and bring it down.
Therefore, after Li Yu and the others went back, they remained busy again, and it was not until the next day that they temporarily stopped, packed up again, and prepared to embark on the return journey.
The Kong family is worthy of being the head snake of the land, even if they poke such a basket, they still have the spare energy to arrange for their in-laws and allies to come and make peace, and send money everywhere.
During this time, they have been trying to heal the effects of this demonic catastrophe and solve the problems left behind.
For example, Kong Zhimao bribed the guards, stole the corpse of the imperial court, and tried to control the strange treasure.
Another example is the many innocent people in the city who died because of the demonic goldsmiths.
Before, he disobeyed orders and obstructed the decree on the confiscation of cloth, which almost ruined the overall situation.
For this reason, Master Kong personally visited Li Yu, Hong Ti, and Lin Xing, the leaders who took the lead, followed by a group of family members, carrying a large box of three.
"Outside of Confucius, you are ......"
Li Yu and the others were also a little surprised when they saw each other putting on such a battle at the place where they were staying.
"Three adults, please forgive Kong for being blind and offended before, today I am here to apologize to the three adults!"
Master Kong was deeply moved, and even waved away the family and opened the box himself.
Suddenly, gold, silver and jewelry appeared in front of the three of them.
"The contents of these three treasure chests are all the same, each containing a thousand taels of gold and twenty thousand taels of silver.
In addition, there are all kinds of silk satin, pearl agate, gemstone tortoiseshell and other things in the courtyard, which are not easy to count, but they can also be discounted by at least 50,000 taels. ”
At this point, he clapped his hands.
The housekeepers who were waiting outside immediately led a group of singers and dancers in gorgeous clothes, and beautiful maids came in, standing in a neat row, each with fat and thin eyes, and quite colorful.
"This time back to Beijing, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and you adults are tired of traveling and driving, so you might as well take these people with you to serve.
In addition, my third brother already knows what is happening here, and he specially told us to apologize for the three of us, and there will be another reward when we return to the Holy Capital! ”
After listening to Master Kong's words, the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they were all very emotional.
Boy.
This is a real blood.
"Even if I am in the Hou Mansion, the family's property will only come in so much ten thousand taels every year."
Li Yu sighed secretly in his heart.
"As the saying goes, the poor are used to seek wealth, agriculture is not as good as work, and industry is not as good as business.
These families are based in the local area, have power and money, and have a wide range of contacts, which is really not comparable to ordinary businessmen.
This is the real place Haoqiang! ”
In the forty-second year of Delong, he gave Jialu a thousand stones, and specially allocated funds to build the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and changed a new home, and should be decorated and all kinds of furniture, utensils, and slaves are ancestral and rewarding, and the value is not easy to count.
The industries outside are the Balipu Grange and the Jishi Pawnshop in the Holy Capital.
The former is located in the western suburbs of the holy capital outside Balipu, is the grace given by the emperor, a total of 3,500 acres, summer wheat and autumn millet per mu annual output of three and a half stones, iron plate rent quota of two stones, the actual income of one and a half stones, the total collection of five thousand stone grain, four thousand taels of silver.
The latter is located in Changle Street, west of the Holy Capital City, and can contribute about 3,000 taels of income to the Hou Mansion every year.
In this way, the annual income of the dignified Hou Mansion is only more than 10,000 taels.
Of course, Li Xin is in a high position, and he is in charge of a special institution like the Demon Suppression Division, and the ice and charcoal on the bright side, the human contacts, the various incomes in the gray field, and those rare treasures that are not easy to calculate the value will not be included in it, and they will be known to outsiders.
But even if these are recorded, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is difficult to dominate one side through the accumulation of generations.
Only these long-lived local snakes can do it.
They are almost the emperors of the soil here.
Li Yu looked at so much gold, silver and jewelry, but what he thought in his heart was that if it was used to recruit troops and buy horses, it would immediately be a whole army, and it would be used to buy strange treasures and store treacherous things, and a large number of folk strangers would be willing to work for it, even if they did good deeds and accumulated virtues, repaired bridges and roads, and won a name before and after death.
Why is it bad, just pile it up, and then give it away for nothing?
Do you really think that with a few stinky money, you can get everything done?
……
After sending away Master Kong, Li Yu and the others discussed in private.
"In addition to the Confucian family, the local government also sent some compensation, saying that it was used by the goldsmiths who escaped us, as well as the bereavement arrangements for the dead and wounded brothers, the cost of burial, and the thank you fee from the wealthy merchants and magnates who jointly thanked us......
Among the three, Hong Ti has always been mainly responsible for the handover with the locality, and at this time he also mentioned another matter.
"How many of them are out?"
"The amount of silver in the entire Yelu City officialdom is 100,000 taels, and it belongs to us and is 30,000 taels per person...... The rich businessmen combined it was 100,000 ......."
"Hmph, these are real people's fat and people's ointment......"
"What do you mean, don't?"
"What don't you want, it's better to give it to those people!"
"Heh......"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, but they were also helpless.
"It stands to reason that we should have one more thing than one thing, and cover it up a little when we report it, and completely end this matter, but in this foothill city, there are thousands of more people who died for no reason, who will avenge them?"
Li Yu immediately clapped his head and said: "The current world is turbid, but there is one point, we will take the money, and we will deal with the Confucian family and the local government!"
This time, how many innocent people died in the city of Yelu, how many brothers and sisters did we die, and how much risk did we take? Do you really think that a little stinky money can be disposed of?
After we go back, we will join the pillar of the Confucian family from the top, cut off its foundation, exterminate its family, and completely purge the local officialdom! ”
"That's true."
Hong Ti and Lin Xing also agreed with him.
Whether it is the innocent people who died in the city, or their fellow brothers, they ate and drank together, and they were born and died.
A few days ago, it was all alive!
But rashly putting on a high posture and rejecting these money beauties and the like is undoubtedly a dangerous signal, and it may also startle the snake and add a lot of accidents.
They are still in the city of Yelu, and they also have the corpses of carpenters and silversmiths in their hands and the big boxes that seal the cloth demons with three mouths, which really cannot be lost.
And...... A large number of people under their hands eat horses and chew horses, settle down and buy homes, and burn and bury pensions.
This requires that the handling must be in order, and not rash.
