Zhao Haocai hurriedly raised his head, a hint of ominousness flashed in his eyes: "Please show Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Chun Yu said lightly: "This palace is passing by Yiyang, and my hand is a little tight, so I will temporarily borrow 300,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold from you." ”

Zhao Haocai was taken aback when he heard this, and his face was like yellow money paper: "Where can Xia Guan take out so much gold and silver!"

Chun Yu sneered: "Why should Lord Zhao be too humble. Your nephew Zhao Qiangdong has almost a monopoly on all taxes, grain, and salt taxes in Yiyang County. You've been in Yiyang for five or six years. That's a lot of money!"

Zhao Haocai knelt down and clasped his head and said, "Your Highness." Xia Guan has stripped some silver taels, but most of them have been purchased into houses and fields. At this time, Xia Guan really couldn't take out so much gold and silver. ”

Seeing that Zhao Haocai was sweating profusely, kowtowing like chicken claws and broken rice, he thought that what Zhao Haocai said might not be a lie. Chun Yu thought for a while and said, "In this case, then order someone to carry out all the silver tickets and gold and silver of your county government and this Zhao Mansion to this palace." Don't play tricks in front of this palace!"

Zhao Haocai was like being amnestied, and hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I am scared to death, and I don't dare to deceive His Highness." Your Highness, can you let the lower official take my nephew down to treat his injuries first?"

Chun Yu nodded and inserted the Liuyun Sword into his waist. Zhao Haocai's servants stepped forward one after another to carry people. At this time, Zhao Qiangdong's blood had already been shed, dying, and unconscious.

After another shift, a group of officials carried four large wooden boxes to the courtyard. Zhao Haocai ordered someone to open the wooden box, which was filled with yellow gold and white silver. There are about 100,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold.

A smile appeared on Chun Yu's face.

"Zhao Zhixian, you did a good job. Hongu was very satisfied. However, there is one more request from Hongu. ”

Zhao Haocai hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, just talk about it." ”

Chun Yu smiled slightly: "When I was in the capital, I heard that there was a vacancy in Nanzhi County in Northwest Xinjiang, and no one has gone there so far. How could this important town sit vacant for so long? I saw that Zhao Zhixian was humble and kind, and he governed the county well. Therefore, I hope that you will be on the table tomorrow and ask for the purpose of going to work. Within seven years, if there is any merit, I will definitely ask the current saint to reward you, and when you return, I will at least give you a governor of Biyuan. ”

When Zhao Haocai heard this, he secretly scolded in his heart: "Damn! The old man is already seven out of fifty." After seven years in the northwest of the border, he had the life to come back. ”

Although Zhao Haocai thought so in his heart, there were other words in his mouth: "The lower official is old, and he is just a rotten wood, and he will soon return to his hometown." How can the important town in the south of Xinjiang be borne by the old decay? In the event of an accident, the life of the subordinate is a small matter, and the safety of the border is a big matter. Also ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to send another virtuous person to go. ”

Chun Yu glanced at Zhao Haocai and sneered: "Zhao Zhixian, this palace has already said, don't be arrogant in front of me. Whether you can do it or not, this palace knows in his heart. You can rest assured that you will be on duty. In addition, the land and house you have purchased, and the palace has no intention of taking them back. But if you are obsessed, I only need to play the Holy Lord, and it will be easy to confiscate your family property and let you spend the rest of your life in prison. ”

Zhao Haocai was so frightened that he trembled, he hesitated again and again, and finally sighed heavily: "Obey the decree of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

A hint of banter flashed in his pure eyes: "That's right." When the time comes, don't forget to bring your capable nephew with you. If only he could live to that time. ”

Chun Yu slowly got up and walked outside the house, when she came to the courtyard of the courtyard, looked at the thugs around her, snorted coldly, and said, "Today, all the people in this Zhao Mansion will be dismissed and this mansion will be sealed." Let your nephew move to the county yamen to live. I feel awkward when I see these guys!"

The east turned white, the rooster reported the dawn, and the sky gradually brightened. Chun Yu and Liu Jingxuan were in front, Zhao Haocai was behind, followed by more than a dozen officials, and headed towards the east gate of Yiyang County. After a while, the four city gates of Yiyang County posted notices: All the four towns and eight towns to which Yiyang belongs, and those who are about to be unable to open the pot at home will go to the county to receive relief money.

As soon as the news came out, people from all four towns and eight towns came to see the excitement. There were not only the poor, but also the rich landlords. Zhao Haocai, the magistrate of the county, sat behind a table in the east gate of Yiyang with a sad face.

Zhao Haocai instructed the officials to use tongs to cut the large silver ingots into countless small pieces and distribute them to the poor people who came here. The poor people stood at a distance, not daring to come forward. Under the bitter proclamation of the officials, it was easy for an old man in ragged clothes to take a broken porcelain bowl and come forward tremblingly.

After registering the old man's name and household registration, the official put a small ingot of silver in the old man's broken porcelain bowl. The old man immediately burst into tears, grabbed the silver with his right hand, and muttered to himself: "Thank you Lord Qingtian! Thank you Lord Qingtian!"

Someone set a precedent, and the people behind flocked to it. The officials used sticks to maintain order, and it was not easy for everyone to line up. Good guys, the team is like a long dragon, and it rolled out of Yiyang County directly.

Chun Yu looked from the sidelines and found that the people in the team were uneven, there were poor people, and there seemed to be gangsters who were not very poor. Chun Yu suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

When the officials heard the shouts of the pure man, they immediately stopped the distribution of the silver.

Chun Yu came to everyone and said loudly: "Today, Zhao Zhi County issued silver taels, which is a blessing for the people of Yiyang. However, it was stated in advance that if there was anyone who pretended to be poor and pretended to receive official silver, he would be severely punished with forty military sticks. You can expose each other. ”

As soon as Chunyu's words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the team, and the voices of mutual accusations boiled over the sky. It didn't take much effort, and a large number of people came out one after another. The people who stayed in the team were basically croppers with patches on their clothes.

Chun Yu nodded with satisfaction and motioned to the official servants to continue to distribute the official silver.

In this way, from noon until the sun sets, the long queue has not been significantly reduced.

Chun Yu told Zhao Haocai that the people who had not received the official silver would come back tomorrow. Those who received the money naturally smiled, and those who did not receive it frowned and left in a huff. I don't know if this official policy will change tomorrow.

Zhao Hao was just about to instruct the official to carry the remaining three boxes of silver back to the county yamen, but was immediately stopped by Chun Yu.

"Why bother. Carry all the boxes to the Minxing Inn, where I will rest tonight. ”

Zhao Hao didn't dare to disobey, so he had to order someone to send him to the Minxing Inn. When everyone dispersed, Chun Yu suddenly found that Liu Jingxuan was gone.

Chun's heart sank, and it felt very unpleasant. This Liu Jing must have slipped away quietly while the silver taels were being distributed. Let's go, let's go! We're not on the same page anyway. ”
