Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 152
While Zhang Zhe was listening to Zhang Wuliu's report, he secretly flirted with Zhang Sanqi who was sitting behind Zhang Wuliu.

Zhang Wuliu turned his head and gave his son a vicious look, which made Zhang Sanqi bow his head in silence, and then turned back to Zhang Zhe to continue to report.

"Those merchants from Jiangling were all locked in a yard. He Xunjian also sent a team of guards to guard them, but each family let one person go back, and only said when the money owed to the provincial road was paid off before they could be released. The servant listened to the people in the government office and said that yesterday, He Jianzhan wrote the paper directly to the neighboring province before leaving, and the account was already settled. Mr. Lang was so brave at that time, and he donated a monstrous amount of money together. Save the road. The servants still feel pain all over their bodies when they think about it now!"

"It's so painful, no one can hold such a large amount of money except the provincial road." Zhang Zhe looked at it very openly, but just laughed lightly, "I asked my wife to arrange for nine people to come to Luo's house." Well, I originally thought that if those thirteen families wanted some face, there would be at most ten people. The money was within 2 taels, and after talking about it, they might be able to take down the things that the Gu family suppressed there. But I once thought, they are shameless at all, and they came up with thirteen people in one breath. When I was playing chess, sir, I was also frightened, not because I was afraid of losing, but because I was also afraid of winning."

"Fortunately, there is He Guan on the provincial road, but now that soldiers are used in the provincial road, the money must be used even more. It's red-eyed, so I don't want it, and I throw the burden to He Guan in one breath. If it's another time, save money Dao may not accept the money immediately."

Zhang Sanqi sat behind his father, complaining deliberately.

"But at any rate, He Guan only took 40 shares for the provincial road camp in the end, leaving more than [-] to our family. Why did Lang Jun turn around and donate all the more than [-] to the county?"

"You know a P!" Zhang Wuliu turned around and slapped his son on the head.

Zhang Zhe blinked at Sanqi, and then explained.

"You don't know, when He Guan and Sun Taishou called me to the side, our prefect opened his mouth and said that he was playing tricks, and his face was so green that it was frightening. So he had to tell the whole story of Gu's family and his previous calculations. The prefect made People found an excuse to torture one or two confidantes of that person, and confirmed the Gu family's affairs, which made the color better. Besides, how easy is it to get more than [-] yuan? I'm also exhausted, Sun Taishou Only [-] people were collected for the government over there. Otherwise, the money would be a disaster."

"That's right," Zhang Wuliu continued, "Hearing what Mr. Lang said, I'm sweating right now. If the money really returns to our family, I won't be able to keep it even if I die. Now the remaining The [-] guan that you paid is quite reassuring. I just want to talk about what I did yesterday, with my lord."

Zhang Wuliu looked back at his son: "Go out and stay!"

Zhang Sanqi patted his head and went out.

"The servant went to Yunyin Pavilion with the clerks of the government office and the guards who were watching, and stole the luggage of that person. I don't want to think that the two largest of those people came to the province to collect the arrears and silver stored in various places. Yes, this season alone, the Cao family copied more than 16 official tickets, and the other eleven families also copied 26 official tickets. This is a total of more than 7000 official tickets. Forty-six thousand official tickets were divided into our family. The bills, the Gu family’s IOUs and things were converted into [-] yuan according to the official rules and returned to us, and the other four families wrote IOUs to our family, and the government used their seals, and our family’s money was paid.”

Zhang Zhe asked again: "Did you find anything out of the drink last night?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wuliu laughed: "Last night, according to Mr. Lang's order, I invited some leaders in the yamen to have a drink in the reading moon building. The five hundred guan's profit has been given out, and those things are also done. After inquiring, I understood. He Xunjian left [-] yuan for the government office, and took the rest away by himself, and bought food and utensils and sent them to Qijun."

"Master Observer sent people to various parts of the province to steal the shops and businesses of these families. I heard that the yamen used tricks on those people's accountants, and calculated that the business and shops of these families in this province can be worth more than 20 yuan. Wan, but I heard from them that He Guan's book office only counted 13, and now they are froze when they ask for these leaders' signatures."

Zhang Zhe shook his head: "That book is really ruthless."

Zhang Wuliu yelled for the book office.

"Mr. Lang, don't talk about that person like that. He is ruthless to this person. He is not the same to our family. When eating wine, those bosses all learned from the book office: the provincial road did not take 40 yuan, but It’s 45, so our family got a fraction of it, and these bosses still feel sorry for us.”

Like a mirror in Zhang Zhe's heart, he helped him hide his income of [-] guan, so as not to be too conspicuous. I'm afraid this is one of He Guan's rewards.

After thinking for a while, he ordered Zhang Wuliu to do something.

"Uncle Fifth and Sixth, I promised Miss Yuezhao of Qixian Tower beforehand that I would share the benefits with her. But now that He Jian has set a name of [-] yuan for our family, you can go to Fuyafang Secretary, ask about Yuezhao's wealth. I also invite someone to have a drink and ask the matter clearly, and I will go back and forth with the eldest lady tomorrow."

Zhang Wuliu agreed and went out.

Then Zhang Sanqi walked in from outside with a smile.

"Greetings to my lord!"

"roll!"

"Lang Jun is too ruthless, you and my father are both mouse-faced, with small eyes to see people!"

"Come on, tell me about your business."

"I'm doing business, you just need to rest assured, Mr. Ceshan. The heads of the Ceshan Army's personal barracks are all familiar with me now, drinking wine, earning money, and seeing each other like brothers."

Zhang Zhe shook his head: "You really think so?"

Zhang Sanqi stopped pretending and laughed.

"Yinzi is their real brother. As for me, I can help with small things, but it's hard to say if things are big."

"Seeing that you understand quite well, let's continue."

"I'm already familiar with the Fuya Arsenal and these people, and 53 good bows will be able to arrive at our inspection station by the end of the month."

"How is everyone eating and drinking? How about training? There is no deduction from the salary, right?"

"Mr. Don't look down on people! The food and drink are made by the villagers. Every meal has meat or fish, three meals a day, which makes the villagers dumbfounded. I figured that this way, each person's food, drink and clothing would cost one month a month." Two-and-a-half taels of silver, plus three taels of real pay, is about 240 taels a month. I don’t think the money from the government can be paid, so we can only get it by ourselves.”

"The three veterans who have retired from the Ceshan Army for practicing martial arts and hacking are homeless and not cunning. I heard that they can point out a daughter-in-law in our family. In the pamphlet, there are some items on which they all applaud, but there are also some things that they don’t like. However, they are still trying their best to get it.”

"It's not about trying, but trying to do it!" Zhang Zhe heard that he was a little sloppy, and asked, "How much is the monthly salary of those veterans?"

"Five or two."

"Our family will add another five taels to each of them. Do you think they like it? By the way, you and Shitou are also corporal leaders. Do you want to add another five taels?"

Zhang Sanqi curled his mouth, with a bitter look on his face.

"Lang Jun, you should add two taels to the stone. After all, he is not as good as those three, so I'll forget it. My mother is in charge of how much I add, and she gives me half a monthly fee. It's annoying to think about it."
