Chapter 286
The crowd's eyes widened instantly, and they couldn't help but swallowed as they watched the copper plates pouring out like running water.

"Good boy, a lot of money!"

"Old man, living to such an old age has opened my eyes!"

"That's right, the reason I called you here is to give you money. Since everyone has different opinions on how to use the 200 taels, and you also suspect that I am using the money for personal gain, then just take it out and distribute it to everyone, so that everyone will not worry about it. Do you have any opinions?" Lu Lizheng said.

"Split the money?! No, no, how can we have any objections? We have no objections from the beginning to the end. We must all listen to you, the mayor!"

"That's right, who dares to have an opinion! I, Li Wenyong, absolutely trust you. Do you want the governor and the magistrate to promote you to be our mayor? There must be something extraordinary about you, and your character is nothing to say!"

For a while, flattering voices came one after another, and everyone wanted to empty out all the compliments in their stomachs to please Lu Lizheng, and maybe they could share more money.

A group of elderly squires nearby were completely dumbfounded, "They actually, actually used their money like this..."

"Is this the idea of ​​that stinky girl?!" I have to say, it's so cunning and so... useful!

It's because they were so clever that they were fooled by their cleverness. Instead, they never thought of such a simple and effective method.

Look, these townspeople who they thought would stand firmly on their side and protect their interests unjustly defected because of a few coins!
"What a loud tone! How many people are there in the town, and how much money is there? Just distribute the money self-righteously." A squire tried to stop him.

"I guess everyone doesn't care about the two cents." He tried his best to hint to some people.

They bought the worthless stuff with just such a small amount of money.

I don’t even think about how much benefit they would gain if they removed the mayor and became the mayor themselves!

After all, most of the people in the town did not make a living from farming, and many families also had small incomes. They were slowly shaken by this.

But most people still care about this money. It's better to have it than nothing, even if it's one penny or two penny, it's just...

"How much money did the mayor take to share with us? How much does he plan to share with us?" "I guess there shouldn't be 200 taels here. I'm afraid there are only 50 taels of copper coins, and we can't share them with everyone. We should consider those of us who are poor and can’t even open the pot at home!”

As soon as these words came out, another wave of disputes started. For his own interests, human nature is fragile, and Lu Lizheng raised his hand.

"It's not fair to give the same money to every household. When Mr. Song gave me this money, he also hoped that I would make some achievements. Since I can't do anything very useful for the time being, then I can help more. People who help.”

The strategy proposed by Xu Mengxiao and agreed by Lu Lizheng is to help the poor first.

Undoubtedly, this move will offend some powerful people, but they can't control so much. There is only so much money, and no matter what they do, some people will be dissatisfied.

And they have a clear conscience and just stick to their original intentions.

"Therefore, I will give more to those who are sick, weak or disabled in the family, at the rate of [-] cents per person, and an additional [-] cents will be given to those who are widowed, widowed or lonely as appropriate."

"In addition, priority will be given to people who are living in hardship due to other positive reasons, but this will not include some thugs who eat, drink, whore, gamble, touch chickens and play with dogs. I rank last in this category, along with those who fight, rob, and set fire. The same as those with criminal records, they can get at most five cents!”

The crowd immediately became commotion, some were happy, some were sad, and then a few tall guys walked out.

"What, you have a problem with us? We will do some things. Isn't it because we are short of money? If you give us less, we will have to continue to do something!"

When he said the last sentence, he lowered his voice, full of threats.

The next second, Lu Hai jumped up and kicked him to the ground.

"It's so outrageous. I want to see how you dare to sneak around and say such nonsense in front of the mayor. It seems I need to take you to the government office."
