Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 92: Dividing the spoils (3)

Lin Fu, Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin and others rushed to Gu's house. Gu Wuchen rushed back from the yamen after a while. Lin Fu had already made his own decision to let Yang Pu and Gu's accountant collect more than 9,000 taels of silver and three pieces of silver. Hundreds of taels of gold have been credited.

Mrs. Gu really smiled.

Gu Wuchen came to Jiangning for the first time. Although the Dongyang Township Party and the imperial inspector Si Liao were also generously gifted with gifts, the number of people in the mansion became more and more complicated. My father bought treasures and treasures to manage Chu Party colleagues, ministers of various ministries, temple supervisors, and ministers in the palace, and there was not much money left in the account. Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, I have to send someone to Beijing to do some management. Although my colleagues from the township party have filial piety, I can't wait to receive the filial piety before going to the imperial capital. Madam Gu is still thinking about whether to write a letter to her father to get some money, and others. It is possible to save, manage money, and filial piety everywhere.

Lin Fu and the others sent more than 9,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold this time, which really solved the urgent need.

When Gu Wuchen came back, Lin Fu and the others reported to him the results of the disposal in the past two days. Chen/Yuanliang was the oldest, so he naturally said: "There are still more than 14 million copper in the river mouth, but it's just too ostentatious to ship them together. After the gold and silver are exchanged, they will be sent..."

Gu Wuchen's face was calm, and he said, "What are you doing here with me? I don't want the money you sent me. You all take it back and share it."

"The money is on the side of the adults, and it can be spent where it should be spent. All the ministries, temples and supervisors in the DPRK and the central government need to manage, and colleagues and old friends also need to communicate. Silver?" Chen/Yuanliang persuaded, "If your lord can establish a foothold in Jiangning, we will have a foothold. If your lord doesn't spend the money, we will not feel at ease..."

"...It's true what you said," Gu Wuchen pondered for a moment, and then instructed Yang Pu, "Bring the three hundred taels of gold..." Seeing that Chen/Yuanliang was still trying to persuade him, he frowned and said, "I'll keep the silver for backup. . Hekou deposit copper, Lin Fu, Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, the three of you are divided, after all, you also have a lot of money to spend. Three hundred taels of gold, if you use it to reward those who have made great achievements this time, the three of you should also be counted. A..."

Hekou still has more than 14 million taels of copper, which is equivalent to 12,000 taels of silver. Lin Fu, Chen/Yuanliang, and Zhang Yubo can share 4,000 taels each. Lin Fu just got 20,000 taels of silver from the Qu family. Chen/Yuanliang worked as a magistrate in Moling County for two years, and his family background was also solid, and he didn't show much interest in 4,000 taels of silver, but Zhang Yubo was an official for many years. The other officials were ruthless, and their family background was very thin. For him, four thousand taels of silver was an unimaginable amount of wealth before. In this incident, Zhang Yubo was supposed to have contributed the least, and he was a little apprehensive about sharing so much money.

Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, and Lin Fu all stood up and bowed to Gu Wuchen, as if the money was given to them by Gu Wuchen. Yang Pu brought the gold and divided it into six shares. At this time, Yang Pu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Qinmin all counted one share.

If it wasn't for the life of his only son Zhao Jin, Zhao Qinmin's fortune from Wang Xueshan's side would not be comparable to the 60 taels of gold, but his family escaped naked, and he really didn't have a penny on his body, and he had 60 taels of gold. , worth four or five hundred taels of silver, which is considered a considerable amount of wealth, but Zhao Qinmin is more for stability at this time, not to kill the assassins sent by Wang Xueshan, and he is also light on money.

In fact, Zhao Qinmin also knew in his heart that Gu Wuchen's performance just now was also a bit hypocritical. Everyone knew that the biggest oil and water were the thirty-two first criminals imprisoned on the prison island. As for how much oil and water can be scraped from these people, We have to look at Gu Wuchen's means. In short, the prison island will release people only after seeing Gu Wuchen's warrant. Gu Wuchen didn't mention the money and he had to share it with Lin Fu, Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo.

Zhao Qinmin also found it strange that Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo didn't contribute much this time, so Lin Fie really didn't want that money? Zhao Qinmin wondered why Lin Fu didn't win the title of Jinshi since he was admitted to the exam at a young age? With his talent and courage, if there is a better promotion, his future achievements will not be under Gu Wuchen.

Just as Chen/Yuanliang said, without the support of Gu Wuchen's big tree, the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning is a mess. The first thing they have to do is to consolidate Gu Wuchen's power in Jiangning and strengthen the Dongyang Township Party's power and foundation in Jiangning. , he may have a seat for the Dongyang Party in the DPRK.

Leaving from Gu's house, Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin walked together surrounded by his entourage. Zhang Yubo felt uneasy for not doing much credit for himself but sharing so much gold and silver. He turned around the corner, and there was no one else. Zhang Yubo said: "I haven't made an inch of merit, I have the right to accept the gold and shamelessly accept it, and I don't dare to be greedy for copper deposited in the estuary..."

"If you want to say credit, Lin Fu is the biggest. If you don't want it, give it to Lin Fu, it has nothing to do with me..." Chen/Yuanliang said.

"Isn't Master Chen embarrassing me? I still want to rush back to Hekou to do business, but now I have to persuade Master Zhang," Lin Fu said with a smile, looked up at the sun, and said to Chen/Yuanliang, "Master Chen It has been three days since I left Moling County, and I don’t dare to delay Mr. Chen any longer. I will convert the copper into silver and send it to Mr. Chen tomorrow. I will also accompany Mr. Zhao to the Dongyang Guild Hall. From then on, Mr. Zhao will be a member of my party in Dongyang Township. , I can't go without going to Dongyang Guild Hall..."

Chen/Yuanliang really did not dare to continue to delay outside, and took the people back to the county first.

After Chen/Yuanliang left, Lin Fu, Zhang Yubo and Zhao Qinmin found a teahouse in the street to talk.

"Brother Yubo," Chen/Yuanliang was not present, Lin Fu talked closer to Zhang Yubo and persuaded, "You will no longer be idle from now on. Master Gu will assign Liu Xilin to be the captain of Dongcheng. Xilin, I have been with him for a few days, and I also know his temperament. He is also a straight person. The situation of Dongchengwei is quite complicated. I believe that if the two battalions are given to Brother Yubo and Liu Xilin, they will be thrown into the old forest in the deep mountains. In a few days, you can train a sharp soldier that is forbidden by orders, but in the colorful world of Dongcheng, it is really difficult to make the soldiers of the two battalions of Dongcheng lieutenant. Brother and Liu Xilin not only can't ask their subordinates for money, but they have to give them money from time to time to reassure them, win over their hearts, and use both rewards and punishments. Brother Yu, how can you do without money? Besides, I have nothing else to do. If you get forty armour and forty horses, you will have to break the money, which is also several thousand taels."

Lin Fu persuaded Zhang Yubo to say nothing to refute it.

Lin Fu knew that Wei Dongcheng was still a mess, so he did not delay Zhang Yubo's time, and let him go back to the Bingma Division. He exchanged the copper coins from the river mouth for silver and then took the time to send them to Zhang Yubo.

Hearing Lin Fu's words to persuade Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin also had feelings in his heart. He didn't expect that Lin Fu would have so many thoughts at a young age. He had only been in Hekou for three days. Refugees are organized so effectively.

A massacre of refugees occurred in the Hekou, with more than 140 casualties. For other people, there are many refugees on the north bank of the sky. There will be thousands of people competing to do the work of two liters of rice workers and food every day. If people are killed or injured, who will choose new ones? What about the dead and injured refugees?

Lin Fu just had a different reaction from others. He built a cemetery in the estuary, buried the dead in coffins, spared no effort to use medicine to save the wounded, and gave money to care for the families of the casualties. Pay thousands of taels extra for the casualties. At the price of the refugees on the north bank of the sky, one thousand taels of silver can serve 500 primeval laborers for half a year, but Lin Bie is willing to spend it on the useless casualties, and the injured and disabled refugees can also be properly accommodated.

When digging a river channel to build a pier, Lin Fu gave priority to building a surrounding house for the refugees to live in, and even he himself still lives in a shack-like thatched cottage. The labor price calculated for the migrant workers is three liters of rice per day, which is already 50% higher than that of the North Shore. However, on the embankment and under the embankment, the labor force consumes a lot of labor. Three liters of rice is barely enough to eat, but the Jiyun Club has additional subsidies. Oil and salt vegetable meat. Although the laborers work hard every day, they are not hungry, and their bodies are even stronger than when they first came to Hekou.

Different from the people in the city who enjoy a prosperous life in Jiangning, these refugees are people who have experienced turmoil and left their hometowns. In this land, they were originally people with floating roots who were excluded. If Lin Buneng treats them like this, they will really lose their lives. Sold to Lin Fu.

Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo took people away one after another. Zhao Qinmin saw that there were only Zhou Pu and the four military guards beside him, so he followed Lin Fu to Dongyang Township Hall with some worry.

Lin Fu originally went into the city and made an appointment with Lin Mengde to meet at Dongyang Township Pavilion. He didn't expect so many things to happen suddenly, but it was finally a big step in their favor. UU reading www.uukanshu.com He was in the tea house just now, and some tea guests were talking about what happened in the past few days. They all said that Gu Wuchen would probably replace Jia Pengyu as the inspector this year, truly becoming one of the five giants of Jiangdong City. one.

****************

Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin rushed to the Dongyang Guild Hall. It was not long after noon. Many township parties gathered here for a dinner before leaving. Seeing Lin Fu coming, they all gathered around to ask what happened in the past two days.

In fact, most of the inside story has spread, and the situation has become clear for the time being: After the incident, the inspector avoided Pingjiang Prefecture, so that he has not returned to Jiangning today. Strictly suppressed, the light of the upstarts of the Chu Party on Gu Wuchen's head was naturally dazzling.

Lin Fu has also gained a lot of limelight in the past two days. It is not easy for the Dongyang Township Party to see Gu Wuchen. Seeing Lin Fu appear, it is naturally very enthusiastic. Lin Fu greeted everyone very politely, and then greeted the shopkeeper of Dongyang Guild Hall, packed all the tea money in the afternoon, and introduced Zhao Qinmin to everyone. At this time, the Dongyang Township Party in the guild hall also recognized Zhao Qinmin, but most of them did not know him, but the news of the past two days was crazy, and they knew Zhao Qinmin. These days, we only divide the enemy and me as cronies, and don't talk about character and morality. Lin Fu brought Zhao Qinmin to the guild hall and solemnly introduced it to everyone. The intention is also obvious. Everyone treats Zhao Qinmin with enthusiasm. It was also the personal friend of Wang Xueshan, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture.

Lin Fu asked Zhao Qinmin to get closer to the Dongyang Township Party. When Lin Mengde came over, he and Lin Mengde found an elegant house to talk to.
