Dayan Fifty Dao

Chapter 40
Li Ling never expected that Ji Liubao, who is old-fashioned by nature, would also make a joke, and said angrily: "I'm not sure, after all, it is an official property. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be serious. This time it is already a fluke." Now, you should be more careful in the future.”

Ji Liubao let out a groan, which seemed to be his agreement, but it seemed that he didn't agree again. Li Ling became anxious and said to Xiao Ling'er: "Tell me about him."

Little Ling'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, the official's things are rarely stolen. This time, Mr. Liu has the handle. If there is no handle, it will be miserable." After she finished speaking, she asked Li Ling again: "You What do you think of that Liu?"

Li Ling was puzzled: "Him? How should I say it? Why do you want to ask him?"

Little Ling'er said, "I'm just asking."

At this time, Li Ling thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, this person is quite honest, and he is not like an ordinary veteran in the officialdom. He still wants to do something, but it can't be said that there is nothing wrong with him. Look at him. Being able to make a mess of the accounts shows that he is of average ability, not to mention whether he is greedy or not, even if he is greedy, the accounts should be evened out, right?

The most important thing is that this person's position is not firm. If this matter is really going to escalate, it will not have a big impact on him, but you can see that he is really frightened. You can only say two things, one He is a Corrupt officials are really greedy.Second, he really has no ability.

But father gave him a lot of money. If he was really greedy, he probably wouldn't act like this. Even if he wanted to clear up the relationship, he still had to leave room for it, but he didn't leave any room for it.

Let's put it this way, based on my judgment of people, he is considered a master who has no ability but wants to make some achievements.And it is likely to be given a set.I don't know what you think?Dad, what do you say? "

Li Mao thought for a while and said, "Ling'er said, I don't think the problem is too big."

But the little Ling'er said: "Can I buy it?"

Li Mao was puzzled: "Why did you buy him?"

Little Ling'er smiled and said: "My lord, this Lord Liu is a local parent official after all, and if he is not outstanding, it will be difficult to transfer him. Our lord's mansion is close to him. If we can bribe him, we will be able to use him in the future." For example, this time, if he refused to make a move, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau would not be in such a state. How could the so-called sleeping place allow others to sleep peacefully?
We are in the field, and he is in the court, and the news is much more than we know. If there is any movement in the court, someone will come to inform us. When that faction arrives in Huainan, we will know as soon as possible. "

Li Ling nodded after hearing this: "What you said makes some sense, but we have never dealt with the government all these years. Is it appropriate to suddenly bribe him?"

Little Ling'er said: "I don't think there's anything inappropriate. If it didn't exist before, it's not impossible to have it now."

Li Mao also responded: "Little Ling'er should have her own ideas, but I don't know how to buy them off."

Little Ling'er smiled: "My lord, didn't I find out that he was short-lived? Although it's not much, it's also a lot, a few hundred thousand taels, do you think we can afford it?"

Li Mao smiled: "Let's not talk about 10 taels. Recently, we have sold elixirs and received a lot of goods. There are also 200 million cash in the treasury. There are other house deeds, land deeds, pavements, forest farms, rivers, docks, etc. , although not more than 500 million taels can be taken out.”

Little Ling'er didn't expect that Li Mao would be able to manage it, so she said: "Then the prince will have to pay for it."

Li Mao smiled and said: "Little Ling'er, what are you talking about? These are all bought with the pills you gave. If you say they are all yours, I just keep them. What are you talking about? I just don't know what you want." How much silver do you bring out?"

Little Ling'er smiled: "30."

At this time, Li Mao and Li Ling were very suspicious: "Why didn't you just take out 58 taels and fill in the shortfall for him?"

Little Ling'er smiled: "My lord, you don't know something. I read an allusion in a book about catching a cat to watch fish fry. It says so in the book. I have a pool of fish fry, and mice love to steal them. The matter is small, but the disease of the fish fry is a serious matter. There is no choice but to catch the cat. The cat is hungry and eats fish, but the cat is full and cannot catch mice. full."

Li Mao and Li Ling suddenly realized after listening for a long time, they all clapped their hands and said: "Okay, very good, half full is good, cats like to eat fish, and also eat mice, but cats are afraid of water, eating fish is risky, but if they have more physical strength, they can catch it." Rats. Regardless of whether cats like to eat mice or not, the risk of eating mice is much lower when they are half full."

Xiao Ling'er nodded and said, "I also think that's the reason."

At this time Li Mao said: "But why would he accept the money we sent out? I have already sent it once, but he refused."

Little Ling'er thought for a while and said: "At the beginning when we sent it, he might not accept it, because we asked him for it, now he will definitely accept it, and if there is a shortfall, he must make up the shortfall before the court examines it.

Secondly, we also showed our kindness, and there is no need for him to reject our kindness. Besides, although the prince is not an official, he is still an official. It is safer to accept money from the prince than from other people. "

Li Mao nodded: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Xiao Ling'er cupped her hands and said: "It seems that the prince will condescend."

Li Mao smiled: "What kind of respect do you have? I know it. When you are down and down, who cares what your identity is? Whoever is a prince or not is bullshit. Only power is respect, and everything else is fake. of."

Xiao Ling'er bowed again: "To tell the truth, I will use this person in the future, my lord is worried."

Li Mao nodded, ordered someone to confiscate 30 taels of silver, and went to the county government just like that. Mr. Liu, who had just come out of the county government, didn't know what Li Mao meant when he came again, so he led him to the back hall suspiciously. After the tea was seated, he asked, "My lord, what is this?"

Li Mao stood up, looked around and said, "Master Liu, your county government office is also simple and crude. Do you have the habit of living here?"

The county magistrate Mr. Liu was as polite as he wanted to Li Mao at this time, and said quickly: "My lord is sympathetic to my subordinates, and I have the habit of living wherever I am, but I don't know why my lord is here. Do you have other things to do?" The officer will do it?"

Li Mao smiled: "Do you think that our palace is the one who is just and unforgiving? I came here this time to relieve Lord Liu's worries."

The county magistrate Mr. Liu was very puzzled: "Relieve your worries?"

Li Mao pointed to the carriage at the door with a smile and said, "Master Liu, what do you think I brought you?"

The county magistrate Mr. Liu was very puzzled. Looking at the carriage parked in the yard, he didn't know what Li Mao was planning. At this time, Li Mao pulled Mr. Liu to the front and lifted the curtain. What I wrote was one letter, one letter, a lot of money.
