Chapter 197 0194 [Saving money is worse than sharpening a knife]

The next day.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon red, forming large tracts of flaming clouds.

A car was approaching, and a little girl of about seven or eight years old stuck her head out of the car window.

As if she saw something, the little girl's immature face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and she couldn't help shouting.

"Dad, grandma, we've arrived at the county town!"

Hearing this, Blacksmith Yuan's heart moved and he quickly opened the linen curtain of the carriage.

At the end of the official road, a tall and majestic giant city stood.

The nearly ten-meter-high city wall can actually be seen at the ends of both sides.

At the city gate, caravans and pedestrians were constantly coming and going, making it a bustling scene.

Craftsman Yuan felt his heart surge, and he couldn't help but sigh: "After all, this is a county town, far beyond what Linzi County can compare with."

In fact, Linzi County has been rich before.

Go forward seven or eight hundred years, and there was no Yidu County yet. Linzi was the core of Qingzhou, and even Shandong as a whole.

In the seventh year of Tianbao's reign in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Linzi was abolished and Yidu was built.

This simple sentence in the history books, "Abolish Linzi and build Yidu", not only built a city, but also moved Linzi's economy, culture, politics, and the most important population, all to Yidu.

The woman on the side said in wonder: "How many people can live in such a big city?"

"I'm afraid it won't be less than 10 people."

Craftsman Yuan was engaged in construction after all. Based on the size of the city, he could deduce the approximate number of residents in the city.

The woman on the side suddenly asked: "Master, where will we live when we arrive in the county town? I have heard that houses in the county town are very expensive, and a small courtyard in the outer city costs hundreds of dollars." "

During this period, although Craftsman Yuan helped Han Zhen with errands, he received a lot of rewards, which totaled nearly a hundred dollars.

It's a lot of savings in Linzi County, but it's not enough in the county.

"This……"

Craftsman Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Don't worry, since the county magistrate asked us to come, he should make arrangements."

Considering the person the county magistrate is, since he was called to the county town, he would definitely make arrangements so that he and his family would not have to rent a house to live in?
Hearing this, the woman nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

Through this period of hard work, Han Zhen successfully established an image of being true to his word and trustworthy in the hearts of the people in Linzi County.

letter!
The ancients believed in keeping their word.

There is no so-called contractual restraint, but everyone subconsciously abides by it, even if it is just a verbal agreement.

Those who are treacherous will be despised no matter who they are.

For example, Sima Yi.

There were many usurpers in history, including Wang Mang, Yang Jian, Zhu Huang, Guo Wei, Zhao Kuangyin, etc.

The evaluations of these people in history books range from good to bad, but in general, later generations still maintain a relatively objective evaluation when talking about them.

Only Sima Yi has been cast aside by future generations.

The reason why this happened was that apart from the evil act of killing the emperor in the street, the most important thing was that he, Sima Yi, was treacherous.

The oath of Luoshui!

You must know that the Oath of Luoshui does not originate from Sima Yi, but has allusions.

Liu Xiu had sworn the oath of Luoshui at the beginning and kept his promise. He did not pursue Zhu Kun's revenge for killing his brother and gave him a high official and generous salary.

It was this move that made Liu Xiu win the hearts of the people all over the world.

A trustworthy emperor will naturally gain the favor of the people and officials.

But what about Sima Yi?
Not long after he made the oath, he turned around and wiped out the entire Cao Shuang clan, setting an extremely bad start for future generations.

You, Sima Yi, talk like farts. What will those courtiers and aristocratic families think?
Who among the officials in the court would dare to believe his words in the future?

Although Zhao Da was in an unfair position and got to the throne by bullying the orphans and widowers of the Chai family, he did one thing well. At least he kept his promise and did not touch the orphans and widowers of the Chai family.

……

Before they entered the city, they saw a troop of cavalry running towards them.Coming closer, Zhang He cupped his fists and said, "I've seen the county magistrate!"

Han Zhen hummed slightly and asked, "How is the city these days?"

Zhang He replied: "The day before yesterday, more than ten scholars gathered to make trouble. The general has arrested them and imprisoned them. Please let the county magistrate make a decision."

"killed!"

Han Zhen said lightly.

I thought I would attract one or two big fish this time, but it turned out that there were only a few small shrimps.

But it doesn't matter. If they miss this opportunity, those people will no longer be able to make any waves. From now on, they can only put their tail between their legs and be good citizens under his rule!
"Yes!"

Zhang He clasped his fists in response.

After hundreds of convoys entered the county town, they immediately attracted countless people to watch.

Because there were too many gold, silver and jewels, there were not many boxes to place them at the same time, so they could only be piled on the bullock carts.

This scene made the people extremely excited.

They had never seen so much money before. They all looked surprised and talked about it.

First, he told Ma Shuyao to settle An Niang and Han Zhang in the mansion, and then Han Zhen led the convoy straight to the government office.

"Meet the county magistrate!"

Zhao Ting had heard the news a long time ago, so he waited in front of the government office early.

Han Zhen nodded and told the officials: "Call Sihu to join the army and Wang Weizhong!"

At this time, Zhao Ting was looking at the vehicles.

When he saw that it was piled with gold and silver treasures, he couldn't help but secretly take a breath.

God!
How much does this cost? I'm afraid it's not tens of millions.

This man made so much money in just a few days.

Could it be that they robbed various states of their personal money?
For a moment, Zhao Ting felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking that he had been an official for decades, he racked his brains and thought hard to make money. Over the years, the total amount of money he had accumulated was hundreds of thousands.

The results of it?
If people go out for a spin, they can get tens of millions of coins.

Damn it, no wonder the Liao and Xixia people plundered our Song Dynasty every year. The savings they accumulated over the years are not as good as a butcher's knife in their hands.

As he watched, a trace of greed flashed in Zhao Ting's eyes.

Turning his head, he saw Han Zhen looking at him with a half-smile.

Gollum!

Zhao Ting swallowed, and the greed in his heart immediately dissipated without a trace.

Money is good, but life is more important.

This man is no better than the man in Tokyo who kills people without mercy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ting laughed sarcastically and said in a flattering tone: "The county magistrate has been tired of traveling all the way. Please come in and have a rest and have a cup of hot tea."

"Not urgent!"

Han Zhen waved his hand.

While speaking, Wang Weizhong hurriedly walked out of the government office, saluted and said, "I have met the county magistrate, what are the magistrate's orders?"

Han Zhen didn't waste any time and gave an order directly: "This time I brought back hundreds of carts of gold and silver treasures. You have to work harder. I led Hu Cao's subordinates to calculate the treasures overnight and put them into the treasury. "

Hundreds of cars?
Wang Weizhong was startled and looked around, only to find that there were bullock carts piled with treasures parked on the street, and he could not see the end.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, he hurriedly responded: "I obey your orders!"

"Well, I leave it to you."

After Han Zhen finished speaking, he got off his horse and walked into the government office.
