Chapter 31: The Governor's Compromise
After hearing this, the government soldiers did not dare to continue to confront Qianfeng.
After all, the current situation is in crisis, and even their group of government soldiers have no food leftover, and the scope of this crisis is so wide that it seems to have plunged southern Yunnan into major chaos.
Qianfeng didn't want to have a bad reputation at this time, although what he proposed was just a mere government soldier, but he knew that a word was terrifying!
If the government soldiers go back with the idea that he doesn't care about the lives of the victims, and spread the word of mouth, the repercussions will be quite great at that time!
So in one sentence, all the responsibility is put on Zhou Chaozheng!
Seeing that the soldiers were still stunned and didn't leave, Qianfeng frowned and reprimanded: "Why are you still stunned?" Why don't you go back and ask your governor for money and compensation, and really wait for the disaster victims to riot, and everything has reached the point of no return? ”
The soldiers bowed and turned around and left the Yundian Marquis's Mansion.
After the soldiers left, Qianfeng immediately notified his maid and asked her to find Zhang Mazi.
Now that the slaves have returned to the Marquis of Yundian's mansion, Qianfeng plans to let Zhang Mazi take them to training first, so that these slaves can become his own army.
After Zhang Mazi learned that his Hou Ye was looking for him, he rushed over in a hurry.
When he came to Qianfeng's courtyard, Zhang Mazi bowed and asked, "Master Hou, what do you command?!" ”
Qianfeng said his thoughts: "Zhang Mazi, the previous batch of slaves from Yunnan Mansion have been sent back, you should now find a place to arrange for them to live near the Hou Mansion, and then take these slaves for training as soon as possible, it is bound to create a strong army!" ”
Zhang Mazi arched his hand and replied: "Obey the order!" The villain will arrange it now! ”
"Well, if there's any problem, report to me in time!"
Qianfeng added.
"Got it, Master Hou! The villain will do it! ”
After receiving the order of the Hou Ye, Zhang Mazi did not dare to delay, found a secluded Zhuangzi and placed the slaves here, and called a group of brothers to train these slaves in a hurry.
Before when he didn't become a family member, Zhang Mazi once served as a small commander in the army, and the official was thousands of households! It's just that after some injuries later, he became a member of this caretaker's home.
With the experience of the past, it is natural to train more than 100 slaves in this area! It's just that the problem is that it is difficult to communicate with these slaves, and the other Zhang Mazi basically didn't encounter any problems.
And these slaves are in a different place, helpless, and after such a long period of slavery, they are also trained to obey, so there is no scene of scattering and running, because they know that they are already slaves and no longer have freedom.
On the other side, Zhou Chaozhengzheng and Zhou Wenwen and other officials had just finished discussing how to resettle these victims, and had just formulated the resettlement place for these victims, and the soldiers who had rushed back from the Yundian Marquis Mansion came to report!
After the soldiers conveyed what Qianfeng said as it was, Zhou Chaozheng slapped the table angrily after listening to it, and he scolded: "This Qianfeng is really hateful!" I'm going to have to give three thousand pieces of silver to help!" When the real governor is easy to bully? What a bastard thing! ”
Zhou Chaozheng was so angry that his lips were trembling.
And after hearing that the Yundian Hou Mansion was willing to help, Zhou Wenwen hurriedly persuaded him: "The governor is angry, there is no other good way now, Xia Guan thinks, it is better for you to send three thousand taels of silver over according to Yun Dian Hou's request, and wait for Yun Dian Hou to make a move, let the Hou Mansion solve the problem of these victims, and after resisting this locust plague, wouldn't it be better to find an opportunity to solve it?" ”
As soon as Zhou's remarks came out, they immediately won the approval of several officials, and they seconded them one after another.
"Yes, Governor, solving the problems of the victims is the most important thing now! Stabilize the Hou Mansion first. ”
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, although the move of the Yundian Marquis Mansion is excessive, but the only one who can solve the problem of the victims in front of you is the Yundian Marquis Mansion! Please also ask the governor to focus on the overall situation! ”
……
Zhou Chaozheng thought about it, and now he will endure the Yundian Marquis Mansion first, and the days ahead will be long, and he can slowly find a way to recover all the losses.
So he spoke: "Then the governor will listen to your suggestions, and I will handle it now over there in the Yundian Marquis Mansion!" ”
Saying that, Zhou Chaozheng was planning to transfer three thousand taels of silver from the treasury to send it to the Marquis of Yundian's mansion.
However, I suddenly remembered that it would not be long before Lord Qincha would come to southern Yunnan, and when the time came, he would check the silver deposits in the treasury and fail to check the existing accounts, then he would be completely finished.
At that time, even if he said that the silver was sent to the Yundian Marquis Mansion, then he would inevitably be responsible for using the treasury silver privately!
Originally, when it came to his mouth, Zhou Chaozheng could only hold it back.
The silver taels in the treasury can't be used now, and Zhou Chaozheng can only transfer three thousand taels of silver from the private silver he has collected over the years. This is all his hard-earned money, and he couldn't help but scold Qianfeng for being despicable!
So Zhou Chaozheng left the mansion and walked back to his room by saying that he was in a hurry, and called a cronie of his own.
The door was closed, and Zhou Chaozheng instructed his cronies: "You immediately go to the old man's house in the south of the city, report the old man's name, take out three thousand taels of silver from it, and then send it to the Yundian Marquis Mansion, remember to do things wisely so as not to be seen." ”
"Yes, sir."
The cronies received the order and sneakily left the southern Yunnan mansion.
And just now, Zhou Chaozheng's words to his cronies were secretly heard by Luo Zhengyan, who came to the door by the way.
Just after his cronies left, Luo Zhengyan cautiously followed the past.
Luo Zhengyan saw Zhou Chaozheng's cronies walk into an inconspicuous house, and after a while, the cronies moved out of it one after another and put a few boxes on the carriage.
Back in Yunnan Mansion, Luo Zhengyan buried the matter deep in his heart, and followed Zhou Chaozheng as usual.
……
On the other side, after preparing the silver taels, the cronies drove the carriage to the Yundian Marquis Mansion before dark, and according to Luo Zhengyan's instructions, he handed over the three thousand taels of silver to Qianfeng's hands, and counted them in person, so as not to repay the debt.
Qianfeng was satisfied and arranged for his subordinates to transport the silver taels back to his courtyard, and then said with a smile: "Your Governor's efficiency is really fast!" ”
The cronies asked: "Now that the silver taels have been delivered, please ask Master Hou to help!" Solve problems for our governor! ”
Qianfeng smiled knowingly and nodded: "This is nature. ”
If he helped, so many victims, the Marquis of Yundian Mansion would not be able to bear it at all, even if he was willing to raise food, it was estimated that his uncle would not agree, from beginning to end, Qianfeng never thought of really helping!
