God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

For a small gentry, this is not a small amount.

Everyone admired Chen Yifa's courage.

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "Patriarch Chen is really sensible. I can decide this matter. I will cross off Patriarch Chen's name on the ledger."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Liang Kai hurriedly said: "My Liang family is willing to give out [-] guan!"

Huang Meiliao also said: "My Huang family is willing to donate [-] guan to help repair the city wall and benefit the people."

"The Deng family is willing to offer three thousand guan..."

"Four thousand..."

After everyone heard Ma Zhou's words, since they could cross out their names, there was nothing to say, not to mention a few thousand guan, even tens of thousands of guan were willing. Tens of thousands of guan bought the safety of a family, and what was not worth it? of.

Therefore, the family owners who were stingy before are very generous at this time.

In a short time, according to Ma Zhou's statistics, there were 12 guan.

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Everyone, on behalf of the people of Hu County, I would like to thank you for your kindness. As for the account book, it seems that there is no need to rush to send it to Chang'an. Please rest assured."

"There is Secretary Rauma!"

"Secretary Ma is worthy of serving as an official in the court. Seeing him today is really admirable!"

Everyone donated money, and they all thanked Ma Zhou.

Afterwards, the crowd dispersed one after another.

Ma Zhou happily went to the backyard to find Du He.

"Du He, I really have you. I didn't expect these guys to be as you said, obediently started donating money, and took out 12 yuan in one go!" Seeing Du He, Ma Zhou couldn't wait to say.

Ma Zhou used to disdain to do such things as cheating people.

But when it's actually done, it feels very fulfilling.

This matter was planned by Du He alone. First, Du He was asked to sing bad faces to scare the heads of the families, and then Ma Zhou began to sing red faces. After some comfort and reminders, everyone fell into the trap.

Du He thought about it in his mind, and said: "12 guan is enough to repair the city wall of Hu County. Hmph, those people in the official department just want me to use money to help these people. It's really a good idea."

The wool comes from the sheep, Du He is not so stupid as to use the money from Dream Group to fill the big hole in Hu County, what is the difference between that and the second fool.

Ma Zhou asked curiously, "Is the account book real?"

Du He laughed and said: "The contacts between these gentry and Qiu Wanjia are very hidden, and nothing was found even in Dali Temple. I just asked Zecheng to find some local people he knew and got a few pieces of evidence. Most of the others are fabricated, but those guys’ buttocks are not clean, and they dare not take a closer look, but after a cursory look, they are frightened, this is called a frightened bird!”

"What a frightened bird, this move is really brilliant."

Du He said: "Old Ma, you send someone to inform those gentry that their family members are still being held in prison, but I am merciful, let them pay a bail, and bail these people out. As long as you don't commit any crimes within three months, the county government will not hold you accountable!"

Ma Zhou was stunned: "What? Bail money?"

In this era, there is no such statement.

Du He chuckled, and said, "Actually, you just spend money to buy people. As for the price, let's say five hundred per person."

Ma Zhou was a little dumbfounded.

Can you make money by arresting people?

In Du He's mind, it really is a profitable business.

He nodded and hurried to make arrangements.

Many patriarchs received the news, although they felt that the bail was a bit nonsense and a bit deceitful, but it was better than not coming out. Everyone paid the money without saying a word.

In the afternoon, all the detainees in the prison were released.

In the account of the county government, more than 13 yuan was added.

Among them, 12 officials were dedicated to repairing the city wall.

As for the remaining more than 1 guan, all of them are bail money.

Du He handed over all the bail money to Ma Zhou: "Old Ma, this money is the daily expenses of the county government. Also, find some people to clean up the county government. This broken county government looks really shabby. It's not worthy of my young master's temperament."

Ma Zhou nodded, with money in his pocket, he was not in a hurry, so he quickly found a dozen craftsmen, and his love was to repair the county government.

at dusk.

Ma Zhoucai came back to find Du He and said: "We have more than 100 people from the six departments, the soldiers from the Ministry of War who have gone to the battlefield, and the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. They have all arrived, and they are temporarily arranged to live near the county government , The money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has also been delivered, a total of [-] guan, but the officials from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Officials, and Ministry of Punishment have only partly arrived, and most of them have not yet arrived, and they may still be on their way.”

Du He frowned.

Before he came to Hu County, he sent a letter to everyone, asking everyone to be in place today.

But now it seems that some people don't take their words seriously.

And the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which turned out to be two thousand?

He said helplessly: "Master Dai is not trustworthy. He promised to give five thousand guan, but he cut more than half of it and only gave two thousand guan. In my county government, there are more than 100 people who want to eat. The cost of meals and office trips, two thousand guan, is enough... Fortunately, this young master is clever and has set up a bail system, otherwise he would have to go to the northwest wind."

Chapter 674

Chang'an City.

Miaoxian Tower is a famous restaurant in Chang'an.

At this moment, in the Tianzi No. [-] room, there are twelve young people gathered together, drinking and drinking, it is very lively.

These 12 people are all rich or noble people in Chang'an City, and they are all officials of the Ministry of Officials. They originally stayed well in the Ministry of Officials, but they were arranged by His Majesty to go to Hu County to assist the county magistrate Du He. When everyone thought of this, they became angry.

Today is the deadline for Du He to ask everyone to rush to Hu County.

However, no one took it seriously.

Instead, twelve people gathered in Miaoxian Building, preparing to get drunk.

"Everyone, are you really planning to go to that place in Huxian County where the birds don't shit?" someone asked.

Someone said: "To be honest, I don't want to go!"

"I don't want to go either. I'm the old man of our family who insists on forcing me to go. He also said that if I don't go, it's disrespectful!"
