After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Ling Ce led his men and escorted Magistrate Wu and his party to Guangning Mansion. There was still a lot to do there.

Before leaving, he looked at Shui Qing in the crowd and wanted to say something. In the end, he shut his mouth and ordered his men: "Let's go!"

Forget it, you will naturally know when the thank you gifts arrive. Saying thank you gifts in advance will only frighten and disgust people.

Anyway, he just said that these properties are only to compensate Shanshui Village. Everyone should understand that this is not his thank you gift to Hu Shuiqing.

Behind Shui Qing stood hundreds of people from Shanshui Village, old and young, waving their hands excitedly and watching the crowd of people go away until they could no longer be seen, and then excitedly rushed towards the animals on the roadside.

"Stop scaring the animals! Take them all back to the village and close the gate. How many of them can't be seen?"

"Didn't you hear what the governor said? All the power is left to your Aunt Shui Qing to make the decision. If you dare to have any opinions, you won't give them any points!"

"Speaking of which, the governor must be looking for Ling Ran's face. This is all the work of Shui Qing and Jin. Otherwise, could the governor come? Can he also give money and livestock to our village? What are you thinking? These must be for water supply Please give them a thank you gift!"

"That's right, let's hold still for now and let's see how Sister-in-law Shui Qing decides!"

Among the crowd, those who led horses and those who drove donkeys rushed to the open space in front of the bookhouse. The people at the back closed the door tightly, and everyone happily circled around the animals to watch.

They don't care about the money. They can't decide whether to divide it or how much. Besides, they all know that these are the thank-you gifts given by the governor to Sister-in-law Shui Qing. Why are they joining in the fun?

But these animals are different. There are dozens of them. Even if Shui Qing's sister-in-law divides ten animals for the use of the villagers, whether they are busy farming or going out, they will not be able to relax a lot!

Shui Qing carried the cloth bag containing the money and invited the old village chief and the elders in the village to go into the bookstore to discuss.

Although Ling Ce gave her full power to make the decision, after all, it was distributed to the entire Shanshui Village. It would be better for everyone to discuss a distribution plan together - share the responsibilities equally.

There are tables and chairs in the study room. The old men sat on the chairs and faced the podium directly in front of them. They felt much taller and taller.

Shui Qing poured all the silver out of the cloth bag and counted it carefully on the podium.

Magistrate Wu is here to arrest people, so naturally he won't bring too much money.

However, when a county magistrate leads a team out, his entourage will bring some money with him in case of emergencies.

The refugees had no money, but the gangsters and government officials had some.

One, two or two or three taels of broken silver is not much for one person. It can't handle the large number of people. More than two or three hundred people found more than 240 taels of broken silver. Magistrate Wu brought a whole ingot. There are three ingots for twenty-two ingots, and five ingots for twelve-liang ingots.

After counting twice and confirming that the number was correct, Shui Qing looked up at the old men opposite and said, "The total amount of silver is three hundred and fifty-three taels. How do you divide it?"

The old village chief, Father Xu, Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, and the others originally thought that Shui Qing called them here to inquire about the livestock. When they heard the silver, especially more than three hundred and fifty taels, they were so surprised that they almost couldn't sit still and fell from their chairs. Come down.

"Shui Qing, how much do you want to say?"

"It depends on how you divide it. Isn't it you who divides it? No, that's not right. So much money is given to us?"

Not to mention more than three hundred taels of silver, even more than thirty taels of silver. Not many of them had seen so much at the same time.

He never thought that there would be so much money, so Shui Qing decided to share it without hesitation!

"Yes." Shui Qing said calmly.

Not to mention the box of gold leaves sent by Bai Manshan and Li Huyu, and not to mention the silver taels he earned before. Today, a batch of medicinal materials in the medicinal material shop alone can sell for eight or nine hundred taels. Two batches have been sold, and there are still many stored in the warehouse. For dry goods, I will go to Yuhang later to expand sales channels, and my deposits will be doubled.

Ling Ce said that the money and things were to compensate Shanshui Village, so she would not be greedy.

Hearing that so much money was being shared, even the old village chief was shaken.

After a long while, he said: "Years ago, Zhao, Sun and Fan's family and dozens of people in the village were injured. The hemostatic powder and gauze used were all provided by you and the Ding family, especially the Ding family. This is a huge sum, and there is no way that his family will be injured." reason.

So, I am thinking about deducting the medicine fee for the Ding family from this money, and then thinking about how to divide the rest? "

He originally thought of using the public funds to pay for it, but there were still more than a dozen taels of public funds left, which must not be enough. What to do with the rest, he had not yet come up with a good solution.

This money is really timely!

Others unanimously agreed: "Yes, we can't let the Ding family provide it. We can't let his family provide the hemostatic powder after all their efforts! We have to make up for it."

Shui Qing knew that Ding Heli and Qin Yilin had not planned to pay for the hemostatic medicine, but the injuries were caused by Magistrate Wu and the gangsters. The money was also collected from Magistrate Wu and the gangsters, and they would use it to pay for the medicine. Couldn't be more appropriate.

She came up with an idea and asked: "Okay, let's set aside fifty-three taels of silver from the change. Let's share a sum with each household. The rest will be used as public money. If the medicine for Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding is too much, it will be put into the public house." If it's a small amount, I'll make up for it from the public money. What do you think?"

Aunt Li slapped her thigh and said with a bold smile: "It works, why not!"

Three hundred taels of silver were divided among more than 30 families. Everyone was discussing enthusiastically how much each family should get.

The old village chief interjected: "Feng Da and the four Mancang households must not be forgotten and must be included."

"That's right! Whether it's fighting gangsters or going out, the four of them have contributed more than most families in the village. How can we not count them out!"

"Don't worry! It's all taken care of."

The old village chief added: "In Zhang Tuzi's house, Zhang Xiaowuzi's kid has done a lot, so can he be counted as a share?"

"It's really not easy for that child. My father is lazy and my mother is cowardly. But this time Zhang Tuzi performed well. At least he completed the work assigned to him. His mother-in-law and Zhang Chunhua also did their share of the work. Should they have a share?" Aunt Li Look towards Shui Qing.

Shui Qing nodded.

Everyone then discusses the next item.

Mr. Wang looked at everyone and asked hesitantly: "Does Fan Qian's family count?"

If he had obtained this amount of money last time, it would definitely not count, but this time no matter what, Si Zhu really made a contribution, and it was unjustifiable to exclude him alone.

"Hey, Mrs. Fan is gone. Fan Qian is still lying on the bed with crooked eyes and mouth. Sun Jinhua is mumbling. Dazhu and the other three are lame and all they have to do is take care of Four Pillars. Four Pillars has done the work, and Four Pillars are also included. One portion?" Father Xu did not decide directly, but looked at Shui Qing.

Clear water is absolutely essential.

If Fan Qian's family had not contributed at all, she would have disapproved of it, but this time the four pillars really did contribute, and the mother-in-law was gone, and the whole family was seriously injured. As long as the people in the village didn't feel it was a loss, that would be fine.
