Chapter Seventy-Three: Silence and Resignation

Work stopped.

This is a situation that everyone does not want to see, but it has happened so firmly in the current treasure money lifting division, and a large number of craftsmen suddenly began to be dissatisfied with the arrangement of the imperial court, although this merger was a holy decree issued by the emperor himself.

Outside the crowd, Wang Siqi watched this scene with cold eyes.

In just a few minutes, he had already seen several people in the crowd of artisans who were constantly stirring the atmosphere and fueling the flames.

There must be someone behind this.

But who could it be?

Xu Min?

Or is it someone else in the court? Who would take such an opportunity to make trouble, Feng Zongwu also frowned, and Wang Siqi knew that he could see it too.

"See?"

"Back to my lord, I can see it... There's something strange about that. ”

"yes..."

"Do you want me to go to the Baoyuan Bureau now and bring more people over to see if I can find out those people with ulterior motives."

Hearing Feng Zongwu's words, Wang Siqi didn't speak, and said after a while: "Since someone wants to make the treasure money lifting division messy, then we have to find a way to be less than he wants." ”

"From today onwards, the Baoyuan Bureau will fully take over the Treasure Money Lifting Division!"

"If it's stopped, it's stopped! If you want to kill, you have to kill it, and if someone has ulterior motives, there is naturally a way to find them out. But if these craftsmen are really some stone hearts that can't be hot, then I will come to Wang Siqi for nothing! ”

"Yes.. My lord, I see. ”

Originally, I wanted to come to the treasure banknote lifting division to see if there was any way to solve the printing problem, but who would have thought that he would bump into such a scene.

made Wang Siqi somewhat depressed.

Back in the Baoyuan Bureau, Wang Siqi looked at his right-hand men, Feng Zongwu and Wang Yihuan, and suddenly Wang Siqi said coldly: "What has Zhao Beinian been doing recently?" ”

Zhao Beinian, the son of Zhao You, the commander of Lishui County.

After Wang Siqi rescued his father from his father by the riverside during the previous garden poetry meeting, he took him under his command and went out to the Baoyuan Bureau.

"Uhhh My lord, Zhao Beinian hasn't come yet.."

"Didn't come?"

Recently, he has been busy for a while, and he didn't take care of Zhao Beinian.

This man is gone?

Wang Siqi shook his head and said: "Look for it again, if it really doesn't work, just tell the officials truthfully, if this person is really hopeless, I can't do it." ”

......

After returning from the treasure banknote lifting division, Wang Siqi immediately began to arrange.

The first step is to be quiet.

In the workshop of the Treasure Money Lifting Division, a large number of craftsmen are competing with the officials of the Baoyuan Bureau, facing each other like a sword-rattling.

But in the next second, after the little official of the Baoyuan Bureau who came in a hurry said a word in the ear of another person, he glanced at the craftsmen present with deep meaning and left.

The little officials who were originally facing each other couldn't see too many changes in their expressions on their faces.

But I only heard him say regretfully: "Today I will no longer argue with you, and there will be a silver village to transport the silver in a while... Not only did he owe you the monthly money before, but Lord Wang of the Baoyuan Bureau also gave everyone an extra month of monthly money. ”

"Of course. . . The standard is still according to the standard of the previous household craftsman. ”

Hearing the words of the little official, although the craftsman in the crowd felt that something was wrong, he still frowned and said, "It would have been better if it had been done a long time ago... In these years, who is not living a tight life, the Baoyuan Bureau is also the imperial court... I don't pay a monthly fee! ”

"It's just.. Baoyuan Bureau is such a rich place, and we are still short of three melons and two dates! But let me say... Since it is going to be merged, then the craftsmen should also be treated equally! ”

"That's right! As much silver as the craftsmen of the Baoyuan Bureau take, we will take as much silver as we want! ”

In the crowd, after the last sentence sounded coldly.

There are already quite a few of them.

There is already an emotion called greed in his eyes.

After all, in their opinion, the Baoyuan Bureau was not as good as the Treasure Money Lifting Division before... I heard that the overseer of the Baoyuan Bureau was just a young man who had not dried up, so they didn't take the Baoyuan Bureau seriously in the slightest between what they said and did.

The little officer heard this.

Shaking his head, he continued, "Wait a minute. ”

The money did not arrive.

It's useless to say anything.

But after hearing that he would be able to bring back the previous monthly money after a while, Liu Dewang in the crowd was obviously in a good mood, "I will buy more food on the way home, buy half a catty of wine, and go home and have a good drink... I just don't know if this extra month's monthly money is true or not, but it would be great if it was true. ”

"Look at your unproductive look... If you think about it, what kind of life are the craftsmen of the Baoyuan Bureau, even the landlords in the countryside probably don't have such a good life. You don't have to pay to eat in the workshop. ”

When the other person heard Liu Dewang's words, he immediately retorted, but his expression was full of yearning for the craftsmen of the Baoyuan Bureau.

"I'm afraid we don't have such luck in this life!"

"Alas! I only hope that these officials can really give us the monthly money, and as long as the monthly money can be paid on time in the future, I will work honestly. ”

"Who's to say it isn't... I don't know what's wrong, the workshop is just stopped. ”

As he spoke, the crowd slowly became quiet, and all that remained on everyone's faces was waiting.

......

The second step is to give up.

The horses neighed, and the wagon, loaded with a large amount of copper coins and scattered silver, slowly stopped outside the door of the workshop, and the heavy carriage and its wheels sank a little, which was enough to prove what a great fortune the carriage carried.

The craftsmen saw the carriage at a glance.

Immediately someone cheered: "The silver has arrived!" The silver has arrived! The adults of the Baoyuan Bureau have not broken their promises, and they will be able to give it to us soon! ”

"Let's go up together! All this silver is ours, we have to find a way to get it, if you don't get it, it doesn't count! ”

"That's right! Strike first. ”

Seeing that everyone was about to become irritable, at this time, a large group of fierce-looking family members rushed out, dressed in muslin shirts, and each holding a long stick, and at first glance it was not a good lord.

Wang Siqi slowly walked out of the crowd.

The craftsman who accosted him just now recognized Wang Siqi at a glance, but he didn't speak, only to hear Wang Siqi look at everyone and slowly speak: "The silver, the official has brought it, and today it is definitely for you.. It can be said that this official will never take away a penny again. ”

"But before that, the official has one condition."

"After all, I still have to give you an extra month's monthly money, not to mention that I am the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau this year, that is, according to the principle of who gives the silver has the final say, should you also listen to me."

Baoyuan Bureau supervision?

This young man in front of you?

Many people present couldn't help but look at each other.
