Xu Taiping's just collected dog legs were the first to stand up.

Wu Liuyi took out his blanket.

He poured the silver horns from the blanket and a large handful of copper coins on the long table.

Said loudly: "Master Xu, the villain's life is yours, not to mention such a small amount of money, I only hate the villain's lack of money, and I can't express the villain's gratitude for one-ten-thousandth of it." ”

Then there was Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan also took out a large handful of copper coins: "Master Xu, that's all for the small one, go back and make money, and then honor Master Xu." ”

Two role models lead the way.

The other catches can no longer stalemate.

Swarmed.

Xu Taiping suddenly stopped: "Wait! ”

The crowd was quick and frozen.

Thinking that Xu Taiping was angry, he suddenly went up and down.

Xu Taiping glanced at everyone: "Who is literate?" ”

An old catcher Zhou Dafu raised his hand tremblingly: "Little literacy." ”

"Can you write?"

"Yes."

"Okay," Xu Taiping praised: "From now on, you are the secretary of this head catcher, and you are responsible for everything around this head catcher." ”

Zhou Dafu was overjoyed: "Thank you Xu Ye." ”

Xu Taiping groaned slightly: "Well, you are a scholar and have a skill, and I will add five coins of silver to you every month." ”

Five coins is half a tael.

The other catch three or two.

Zhou Dafu just because he can write, it has risen to three and a half.

That's a big number, too.

A tael of silver was exchanged for a thousand copper coins.

Half a tael is five hundred.

In these years, the bread sold on the street was four or five copper coins each, and ordinary people could eat enough cakes for two people, and they needed thirty copper coins to buy cakes to eat three times a day.

Five hundred copper coins are enough for a grown man to eat bread for twenty days.

If you buy rice and grain for cooking, you will have a surplus for a month.

So.

When Zhou Dafu heard this, he was overjoyed.

Lie down directly and kowtow to Xu Taiping: "Thank you Xu Ye, thank you Xu Ye." ”

Xu Taiping picked his chin: "Get up and work." ”

Zhou Dafu hurriedly got up and stood beside Xu Taiping: "Xu Ye ordered." ”

"Write down their filial piety, who produces how much, must be accurate, not a single copper plate can be wrong."

"Okay."

Chow Tai Fu bookkeeping.

Wu Liuyi collected money.

Wang Dashan maintained order.

In the end, the total amount is equivalent to more than five taels of silver.

On average, each person contributed about 100 copper coins, which seems to be a lot.

But Wu Liuyi alone contributed almost two taels of silver.

So.

Wu Liuyi's face was very fierce.

Viciously glancing at those who paid less.

Xu Taiping was still smiling, and even asked, "Are you distressed?" ”

The crowd hurriedly shook their heads.

In fact, I have long been distressed to death.

Their income is not high, and they are often deducted, how can they have so much extra money?

But no matter how distressed it is, I can't say it.

It's the old rule.

Every capturing leader has to come once.

Not on filial piety?

That's not wanting the job.

Although this job is not good, it is a miscellaneous worker, but it is good to wear a gray vest with the word "catch", which is the official uniform.

Also, it can be a little oily and watery once in a while.

Much more nourishing than the people at the bottom.

So although I am very distressed, the filial piety that should be paid is not a lot.

Xu Taiping saw this.

Laugh and laugh.

Shaking his head at Wu Liuyi: "Liuyi, return these copper coins to them." ”

Wu Liuyi was stunned: "Huh? ”

Wang Dashan and Zhou Dafu also raised their heads sharply and looked at Xu Taiping incredulously.

The others couldn't believe their ears.

looked at Xu Taiping dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

Xu Taiping smiled secretly in his heart.

That's what I want.

Now, the guy who was reluctant to pay just now and only gave a few copper plates, should regret his death, right?

But Shi Shiran said: "This head catcher was also a fast catcher, how can you not know that everyone is having a hard time?"

"Now that you know, how can you bear to take advantage of you?

"However, the rules are the rules, the rules cannot be broken, this filial piety, this head catcher has to be accepted.

"So, we can only make an exception once.

"This filial piety, on the account book, is equivalent to the heart of the head catcher.

"This catcher feels your heart, and that's it.

"As for the money, it will be returned as it is, and it is also a little bit of gratitude to you from this catcher.

"That's how I am, you are good to me, and I am good to you.

"If you are good to me, I will be good to you.

"Understood?"

Don't wait for the crowd to answer quickly.

Waved his hand directly: "Wu Liuyi, Zhou Dafu, return the money." ”

Wu Liuyi and Zhou Dafu did not dare to slack off.

He returned to the ledger one by one.

Retreat to the end.

Xu Taiping suddenly shouted: "Wait, that money is spent for me." ”

Money.

Non-circulating money.

It is a folk casting, and the ornamentation is mostly auspicious and festive words or mythical beasts, religious symbols.

This kind of copper money is collectively referred to as spending money.

The money Xu Taiping saw was quite thick.

The pulp is also moist.

It's been a long time since I looked at it.

The front is carved with the word "Taiping".

On the reverse side, a single line depicts the silhouette of a knight with a knife galloping on a horse.

Wu Liuyi shouted angrily when he saw this: "Which king and eight lambs dare to spend money to fool Xu Ye?" ”

Xu Taiping waved his hand: "I think it's very good, with my name, it is related to me, I will accept this money, and it will be the common intention of all of you." ”

Wu Liuyi immediately smiled all over his face: "Master Xu is merciful." ”

Xu Taiping ignored it.

Instead, he slowly got up and looked at the crowd.

Said lightly: "After the rules are over, the head of the catcher has officially taken office since then, and the ugly words are ahead, if you want to follow the head of the catcher to eat meat, there are only two words - obedient!"

"Obedient!

"Obedient!

"It's obedient to step on a horse!

"Only by being obedient, only with the head of the catcher, can you be qualified to follow the head of the catcher to eat and drink spicy, otherwise, leave as soon as possible!

"If you let this catcher find out that someone is disobedient or even eats inside and outside, this catcher has the means to clean him up!

"That's it, it's good!

"Adjournment!"

It's half a day.

The mood of the crowd went up and down rapidly.

High and low.

Up and down.

But in this constant ups and downs.

No one dares to underestimate Xu Taiping anymore.

There is even more hatred that he can't die for Mrs. Xu.

In the prefectural government.

Prefectural Order's Study.

Zhou Yucheng watched the whole process.

Speechless.

After a while, he sighed lightly: "This Xu Taiping is a talent." ”

Xu Qing immediately followed: "Indeed, a complete set of methods is smooth and natural, with both grace and power, suppression and co-optation, and in less than half a day, this group of miscellaneous servants has been cleaned up and obedient, as if they are old officials, and they are extremely clever." ”

Zhou Yucheng nodded.

shook his head again: "It's a pity, I was born as a miscellaneous servant, I am illiterate, and my talent is average, and the county-level head hunting is the limit." ”

Xu Qing was also full of regret: "It's a pity." ”

Zhou Yucheng waved his hand: "Do it according to the plan, well, don't wait for tomorrow, give him the water ghost murder case now." ”

"Yes, host."

Catch fast class.

Xu Taiping got the file.

Ecstasy in the heart.

His expression was full of astonishment: "Master Xu, this case, really give it to me?" ”

Xu Qing nodded expressionlessly: "The new official has three fires, this is the first fire, it is a test for you by the county master, and it is also an opportunity, if you can solve the case within five days, the county master will not only have a reward, but also reuse you, otherwise you will ......"

Otherwise what?

Needless to say?

Not reused, of course.

Even kicked it away after a while.

Xu Qing took it with a solemn face.

Send Xu Qing away.

And then.

The catch fast class fried the pot.
