Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 394 God of Wealth Xu Jingzong
"General, it's not good. They are all people who have been compensated by us. Now they have come to refund the money, saying that they don't want money compensation, but only their own chickens and ducks. No matter how we persuade them, we can't persuade them." You Wuwei explained helplessly.

I have been in the army for many years and have fought countless battles. I always thought that the most difficult thing is to kill on the battlefield, but I only know today. Compared with dealing with disputes among the people, it is not as simple and decisive as killing on the battlefield. It is too difficult.

Cheng Zhijie didn't reprimand his subordinates, but patted his shoulders as encouragement, and then stepped forward to ask the people why.

"Neighbors, my old Cheng is also from a bitter background, so I will definitely not do anything to oppress the people. You are not willing to accept money, but I have less money for compensation?" Cheng Yaojin asked loudly, "According to King Qin According to His Highness's instructions, the compensation price for chickens and ducks shall be increased by [-]% above the market price. If anyone in my right martial guard dares to withhold money and food, then I will definitely punish him severely!"

The whole audience was silent, no one dared to speak, after a moment of silence, someone boldly shouted: "General, it's not that we don't know what to do, since the chicken and duck are for King Qin to kill locusts, we should give them away even if it doesn't cost money." The family is really poor, and they point out some chickens and ducks to lay some eggs for the children and the elderly."

"Folks understand the righteousness, Lao Cheng is here to thank everyone on behalf of the imperial court!" Cheng Zhijie saluted respectfully, this was from the heart, not just for show.

"Since the imperial court has a policy to compensate for money, we want to use the money to buy some chickens and ducks back, but this money can't be bought in the market at all, not even a few small chickens."

What? ? ?
Cheng Yaojin was shocked, could it be that someone in his right military guards really dared to fill his own pockets?
"Quarterman! How much is the aftermath compensation for the people? Why is this happening?" Cheng Yaojin was furious.

The quartermaster was sweating coldly, and tremblingly took out the account book to check with the group of people in front of him, but then he was dumbfounded, "Report to the general, there is no problem with this account, it is not our people who withheld the money."

The common people gradually became more courageous, and explained: "General, it's not that you don't give me enough money. In normal times, you do give me a lot of money, which is enough to buy chickens and ducks again. But it can't work now, the local chickens All the ducks were confiscated, and the price of chickens and ducks on the market has tripled, and there is no market for them. The duck dealer explained that they were shipped from other places, and the long-distance journey naturally required extra money.”

The quartermaster reminded in a low voice: "General, there is indeed a reason for this. Rare things are more expensive, and the cost of transporting them from other places is also high, so we can't convict them."

Cheng Zhijie understood, but this problem seemed to be a difficult problem, not easy to solve.

"Everyone, everyone, the general has already understood the problem. Let's go back first, three days, within three days I will definitely come up with a good way to give you a satisfactory answer." Cheng Yaojin said, cupping his hands.

The quartermaster also persuaded: "Let's go back first, folks, the chickens and ducks are definitely not available now, and they have been transported to the front line to deal with the locusts. Just imagine, if the front line can't stop the locusts and let the locusts pass through Chang'an, then we are now What is the use of having chickens and ducks? Not to mention eggs, in the future it will be rations that will be buried in locust plagues.”

"Yes, the general will definitely come up with a good idea to compensate everyone for their losses. It's not a problem for everyone to be wasted here, after all, we can't conjure chickens and ducks out of thin air."

"Forget it, let's go!"

"Actually, it would be nice to have this kind of compensation. The chickens and ducks in the next village have been robbed by big households, and there is no compensation at all..."

Um?Cheng Yaojin had a good ear, and pointed out his hand, "Go, go with that villager, and check it out, is there someone who is robbing and oppressing the people again? Damn, I have 2 guards on the right, can I kill even a bully?" Endless?"

"Let's go back to the yamen, beat drums to gather generals, and discuss matters in the middle hall! And you, didn't you say that I will definitely come up with a good idea? If I can't think of one, I will ask you!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at the talkative The lieutenant ordered.

The lieutenant general's smile instantly froze on his face, the general, I, I did it to persuade the people...

"Report! General, someone from Chang'an is here to see you!"

"Chang'an? Huh, it must be a group of rotten scholars who want to talk about chickens and ducks. I don't have time to argue with them, no see! Didn't you see that the military plane is being discussed? Let him go, and the military plane must not be disturbed." Lao Cheng was in a bad mood. The generals gathered to discuss for an hour, and there was not even a feasible plan.

Not only that, even most of the subordinates agreed to ignore it, and said that troublesome people came out of poor mountains and rivers, and we didn't gather chickens and ducks to make a fortune, so what if we didn't pay compensation?Are they still not satisfied with the compensation now?Get used to it!

If you want to supplement nutrition for the elderly and children, do you have to use eggs and duck eggs?If I have enough money for you, I can buy some other things. Is it easy to bully us You Wuwei?I heard that You Xiaowei directly took the chickens and ducks without even paying compensation. They only gave one sentence, borrowed them first, and returned them in full after the battle. The people there dared not even give a fart.

Lao Cheng's nose was almost crooked after all the chatter, mother, I patted my chest in the Tai Chi Hall to guarantee that You Wuwei is the strictest in governing the army and will never disturb the people.You look at each of you, you are full of blood!What if this matter were changed to your own family?Would you like to be so brutalized by your own army?

"Go and tell General Cheng that Xu Jingzong from Prince Qin's residence has important matters to visit!"

"Prince Qin's Mansion? Hey, I'm sorry, our general is indeed participating in the military affairs, and he didn't lie to Mr. The general has issued a death order, so don't disturb him." When the orderly heard that it was the Prince Qin's mansion, his face was somewhat respectful, and he did not dare to neglect, and explained. A few words.

Xu Jingzong asked curiously: "Oh? General Cheng came to monitor state affairs, did he encounter some problems?"

After hesitating for a while, the messenger explained in a low voice, but Xu Jingzong smiled after hearing it, "I think it's something, you let me in, I can solve it. Besides, it's a good thing for me to come this time, if I turn around now Chang'an, haha, General Cheng will definitely regret it."

This……

The orderly was very entangled. He had a small and humble position. If he violated the military law, he would be punished.

"It's okay, I'll give you a guarantee, and I'll explain what happened." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he strode inward. The messenger stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't move his feet. It should be because he wanted to cooperate in his heart.

"I have a good idea, I wonder if I can help General Cheng!" Xu Jingzong's clear voice came to Zhongtang.

Everyone looked towards the yard, Cheng Yaojin frowned, looked up at the person, and immediately burst into a smile, "Oh, it's Xu Changshi who came here, and the old Cheng is far away, it's a sin!"

"Oh? Yuanying? Just now I remembered who came down and told me to go back to Chang'an..."

"Who? Which bastard faked the military order? Come on, drag the orderly out for me and give me thirty punishments!"

"No, I made a promise to him. If something goes wrong, I will be his guarantor. General, how about giving me some face? If it weren't for him, I would have really returned to Chang'an."

"Hahahaha, Xu Changshi is righteous! The messenger, for Xu Changshi's face, rewards today's messenger with ten taels of silver and a promotion."

After finishing speaking, Lao Cheng pulled Xu Jingzong's wrist, "Let's go, Chang Shi came at just the right time. I, Lao Cheng Youwuwei, fought unambiguously, but the staff and government affairs are in a mess. Right now, there is a problem that needs you to do this." expert advice."
