Chapter 149: Charity Turmoil
When Bingyuan was helpless, a loud laugh suddenly came, "Genju, what's wrong?" Can the villagers of Beihai praise and give great support to my "Beihai Rejuvenation Project Plan"? As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy young man walked into the council chamber.
When Bing Yuan heard the voice of the visitor, he immediately got up and greeted the visitor, and said with a wry smile: "Xiangjun forgive me, my subordinates are inconvenient to speak, and I can't say that I can move all the sages of the country, and let all the sages of the country participate in the grand event." ”
It was He Bai who came, and when He Bai heard Bing Yuan's bitter laughter, he couldn't help but be surprised. This is a good thing to build a hometown, and the government will take the lead, and the rich and wealthy families will make a small head, and there is still something you don't want to do? So he asked, "Oh? What's going on? ”
Bing Yuan just smiled bitterly and shook his head silently, He Bai could only sit down at the Miantuan where the original Bing Yuan was sitting, looked at both sides, and after Bing Yuan sat on the right side, he asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, did you not explain my "Beihai Rejuvenation Project Plan" to everyone before?" ”
He Bai, the real supreme civil and military chief of Beihai, came, and everyone didn't dare to ignore Bing Yuan like before, so a strong man in his right hand in his forties coughed lightly, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency, although I didn't hear your "Beihai Rejuvenation Project Plan" very clearly, we still roughly understood. This project covers and expands the Chi Road, the river, the pond, the canal, the school, the medical center, and the school field, which can be said to be comprehensive. It's just that this plan is too big, and our family is so thin that I am afraid we won't be able to support this grand event. ”
Bing Yuan introduced to He Bai on the side: "This is Gongsha Lu, the head of the Gongsha clan of the famous clan in Jiaodong. ”
He Bai nodded at Gongsha Lu and said with a smile: "Gongsha family master is just afraid that he has misunderstood, this plan is indeed huge, and the preliminary calculation will cost about 1.4 billion yuan. ”
"1.4 billion dollars?" When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped, some thought that it would be a billion dollars, but they didn't expect it to reach 1.4 billion. He Bai, the minister of Beihai, looked like an ordinary young man, but he didn't expect it to be so atmospheric. It's just that when this atmosphere is not good, it is a great joy, and it has no mercy for the people, and it is tyrannical and tyrannical.
He Bai continued: "The funds for this plan have basically been collected to seven or eight, and there are only some fractions of money and grain left, and you need the help of the township sages. All of you are famous people in Beihai, this is a righteous thing for the benefit of the township, and you will not be stingy. The official asked Bing Genju to invite you to come, firstly, in the hope of getting your manpower support, and secondly, in the hope of getting your money and material help. It doesn't matter how much, as long as you have a heart, it is a penny, and I am not happy. ”
He Baiyu had secretly calculated that ordinary people at this time had tens of thousands of dollars, and they were well-fed and clothed; The family has about 100,000 yuan, which is a well-off family of the middle class; The family has about a million dollars and is a rich and noble family; Those who have tens of millions of dollars are local wealthy and wealthy. The people sitting here are basically people of this level, that is, there are several famous families and big families with hundreds of millions of family assets.
With their strength, it is not a problem for a family to make tens or millions of dollars, and if there are ninety-seven families, it is easy to exceed 100 million dollars. If there is a lot, there will be one or two hundred million dollars, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be fifty million dollars, which cannot be less.
Gong Shalu, who didn't want to be on the side, said with a smile: "Since He Guoxiang is so sincere, then my Gongsha clan will pay 10,000 yuan, and 100 stones of grain will help He Guoxiang." ”
He Bai was stunned, hundreds of millions of families only gave out money and grain worth 30,000 yuan, and this Gongsha clan was enough. He Bai couldn't help but twitch, and said dryly: "Gongsha is really generous." ”
Gong Shalu laughed and said, "If Prime Minister He is still not satisfied, then how about I offer a coffin of my own to make wood for the building?" ”
He Bai was so angry that he clenched his clothes with both hands, but he couldn't understand why. I persuaded everyone to raise charity funds, and what I did was also a good thing for the benefit of the townships in Beihai counties, maybe a large number of fields of the Gongsha clan needed to be irrigated by the planned channels, but I didn't expect that there would be such an arrogant and stupid thing as Gongsha Lu to do it against him?
What does it mean to offer a coffin? Insulting yourself? Doesn't he know what the county order of the broken family is and the mansion of the destroyed door? He has been grasping the politics of the Beihai Navy, but he is much more powerful than the later Fu Yin, why is he so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that you will deal with Yu Gongsha's clan and punish him all over the house?
He Bai didn't know the details of the Gongsha clan, and he didn't have a good attack for a while, so he had to ask another person, and said with a forced smile: "I don't know how much food this family master is willing to raise?" ”
The man was an old man in his fifties, and he smiled at He Bai: "Ah, since the Gongsha clan has contributed 10,000 yuan and 100 stone of grain, although the financial resources of the Cong family are far inferior to that of the Gongsha clan, then the contemptuous family will pay 9,000 yuan and 90 stone of grain." ”
Then someone said, "The contemptible family paid 8,000 yuan and 80 stone of grain." ”……
He Bai was actually angry, a good Gongsha clan with insufficient financial resources, did he collude with the Gongsha clan, or was he afraid of raising more than this Gongsha clan? If it is just fear, then this Gongsha clan has a great deterrent power in Beihai Country, and this power is many times more powerful than his own country, so that people can only be afraid of Gongsha and not afraid of the country.
He Bai waved his hand and said, "I don't go to Beihai Country, and I don't know the plight of the wealthy families in Beihai Country. Anyway, if the financial resources are not as good as the Gongsha clan, the national minister will not be embarrassed, and it will be dispersed, and the national minister will find another way to make money. With that, he got up angrily and left, and Bing Yuan hurriedly followed.
Gong Shalu saw that He Bai was gone, smiled proudly, slightly arched his hand to everyone, and waved away, after the others looked at each other, shook their heads, and left one after another, only one old god was sitting still, sitting still and watching everyone leave.
He Bai asked angrily: "Genju, what kind of family is the Gongsha clan, how dare Gongshalu despise me like this?" ”
Bing Yuan hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "That Gongsha clan is the clan of Gongsha Mu, the capital of Liaodong, and the five sons of Mu, named Shao, Fu, Ke, Kui, Fan, and have the name of the order, and the Jingshi said: Gongsha Five Dragons, unparalleled in the world." Among them, the Gongsha Fu official is the Taishou of the Shanggu Valley, and the Gongsha clan is also a family of 2,000 stones. However, since Gong Shafu, the Gong Sha clan has no other children of high-ranking officials. ”
However, although this Gongsha Lu is not a man, he is also a hegemon in Beihai because of the hope of the five dragons of Gongsha, coupled with the large number of clansmen, and his behavior is tyrannical. Moreover, he likes martial arts since he was a child, and often gathers more than 1,000 people from the township party to practice martial arts, which is quite powerful. At that time, there were many thieves in Jiaodong, and they had led the Yellow Turban thieves to invade Jiaodong, and the officers and soldiers were defeated, but there were more than 1,000 soldiers who broke the Yellow Turban, so they were famous in the country and were regarded by the Chinese people as the giant arm of the North Sea. ”
"I heard that several of the younger brothers of the Gongshalu clan had served under the former prime minister, but most of them were dismissed after the prime minister took office, so the Gongshalu side was dissatisfied......"
After He Bai heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "The way I use people, I don't like to be indiscriminate, and the mediocre people who eat vegetarian meals are the most." If the Gongsha clan has children who can excel, even if they are not virtuous, I will use what I can, and I will never close the door of storage. However, isn't Gong Shalu trying to confront me like this today? ”
Bing Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Gong Shalu is pretentious, and it is only right to do this." It's just that he is too arrogant, and he doesn't even distinguish between good and evil, which is ...... Alas......"
He Bai snorted coldly, this may be the manifestation of people who have private virtue but no public morality. Those who have private virtues, although they can be respected by everyone, but when doing public virtues will harm their own interests, they will immediately change their faces. Gong Shalu defeated the Yellow Turban, obviously to contribute to the county, but in fact to protect himself. Now let him raise charity funds, and he will not pull out a dime. 's strong resistance to himself, I think it is because he has the great merit of breaking tens of thousands of yellow scarves, but he has not had a trace of reward since he took office.
Suddenly, Wang Xiu, the governor of the eastern part of the country, hurriedly came, and when he saw He Bai, he shouted: "I heard that Gongshalu insisted that his clan was strong, and he privately set up a camp and a trench to defend himself, and refused to obey the dispatch and dispatch of the government. The subordinates asked for orders to chase him down and warn the heroes. ”
Seeing the murderous Wang Xiu, He Bai couldn't help laughing, and people at the time regarded human life as a mustard. In particular, those who have power in their hands will never take human life seriously. As his own subordinate, Wang Xiu is known for his loyalty, and whenever he sees his boss being humiliated, he will be angry.
Today, where Gong Shalu humiliates himself, it is inevitable that Wang Xiu will kill him. Moreover, as the governor of the eastern post, he has the power to convey fatwa, supervise subordinate officials, inspect criminal prisons, and check illegal rights and responsibilities. Jiaodong County happens to be the place where Wang Xiu is in charge, and there is no official body in the Gongshalu tribe, but he gathers soldiers in the township, and even sets up camps and trenches to defend himself, and lives on one side, but it is a taboo in the national law. Wang Xiu's killing of him is also clear and just, and it is in line with the law of the country.
It's just that now I want to gather the strength of the whole country of Beihai to conquer the world, and it's better not to kill indiscriminately. When you are influenced by virtue and convince people by virtue. If there is still an opponent at that time, it can be eliminated with the power of thunder.
With Gong Shalu being so arrogant, next year's self-proposed system of apportioning the land to the mu, abolishing the poll tax, and the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry will definitely be opposed by him, and then he will be cleaned up together. Tolerate it for the time being.
He Bai said with a smile: "Shuzhi, don't be angry, I want to govern Beihai with a benevolent heart, and I don't want to take revenge on others for personal grudges." Although Gongshalu is evil, I still tolerate it in the face of Gongshamu and Gongsha Wulong who are virtuous in the country. If he does it again in the future, I will order you to strike again. ”
After Wang Xiu heard this, he was resentful and resentful, He Bai looked at it with great joy in his heart, with such a loyal and resolute person as his subordinates, he should not be easily humiliated. At this time, another official came to visit, saying that there was still one person in the council hall who had not left, and wanted to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the plan to rejuvenate the country in Beihai.
He Bai, Bing Yuan, and Wang Xiu are all stunned, hundreds of millions of dollars? This is almost all the property of a big man, is there really such a benevolent and selfless person? So the three of them returned to the council chamber together, ready to hear what the man had to say.
When He Bai spoke to him, he found that the man was a white and chubby, twenty-five or six-year-old young man, who seemed to be sitting on the third or fourth side of the house.
Bing Yuan said next to He Bai's ear: "This is the new head of the Duchang County giant Ai clan, Ai Ke. ”
He Bai smiled and helped Ai Ke and said: "It turned out to be the head of the Ai family, I heard that the subordinates said that the head of the Ai family had a meaningful way to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to rejuvenate the country in Beihai, and I was not very happy in my heart, and I also asked the head of the Ai family to sit down and talk in detail, why is it so generous, but it is contrary to the state of the Gongsha clan." ”
