The Golden County Magistrate

"There is no time to lose, Wei Chuan, you take people to the dock to unload the cargo immediately. Try to unload it tonight and leave tomorrow morning!" Chen Yan ignored him and turned to Wei Chuan to give orders.

"Yes, sir!" Wei Chuan responded loudly and led the soldiers to go with the soldiers.

Gu Wei was so angry that his eyes went dark. Fortunately, the guards beside him supported him in time and he did not fall to the ground.

One thousand taels of silver!

Just went out like that!

Jin Ze and others around him all looked ugly.

They were ready to see Chen Yan embarrassed and lose, but he ended up winning one thousand taels for nothing. Damn it!

"It's getting late, and I'm a little hungry, Miss Xueyan, let's go." Chen Yan ignored him again and turned to leave.

"Wait! How did you attract so many people!" Gu Wei gritted his teeth.

"It's simple. As long as you are willing to spend money, people will come naturally." Chen Yan said nonchalantly.

"Spend money? How much?" Gu Wei asked subconsciously.

"One tael of silver per person per day." Chen Yan said leisurely.

"What! Are you crazy? How can there be such expensive workers!" Gu Wei said in surprise.

"Someone is willing to pay such a high salary, what can I say?" Chen Yan laughed.

"Who?" Gu Wei was stunned for a moment.

"It's you, sir! Hahahaha..." Chen Yan took out the banknote and waved it, then got on the carriage with a smile.

"You! Puff!" Gu Wei was already angry enough, and after hearing this, he was even more angry that a suffocating anger surged up to his heart, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out!

The guards next to him were shocked and panicked.

"Sir! Sir!"

"Quick! Find a doctor!"

"Help the sir in first!"

The carriage drove away slowly. In the carriage, Xueyan smiled sweetly: "So this is what your sir is thinking. Use this method to let Sir Gu pay for the silver."

Chen Yan swung the silver notes in his hand and made a rustling sound: "And I made an extra 400 taels. Ha! Do you know what the most enjoyable thing in the world is? It's to skin the corrupt officials!"

Xueyan also felt very happy.

The emperor works day and night for the people, but corrupt officials like Gu Wei are squeezing the people's fat and blood. They really deserve to die!

But then she put away her smile and said worriedly: "But this is not a long-term solution after all. This money can only support one day. What should I do with the future wages?"

Chen Yan said nonchalantly: "What does this have to do with me?"

Xue Yan asked in confusion: "What do you mean, sir..."

Chen Yan said easily: "The imperial edict came down, asking the prefect of Jizhou to be responsible for the response. And the prefect asked Gu Wei to be responsible for this matter, so the future handling of these employees is not up to me, but Gu Wei, do you understand?"

Xue Yan was stunned for a while, and suddenly woke up: "Oh! What you mean is..."

Chen Yan interrupted her: "Wait and see another good show!"

It was not until the second half of the night that all the goods were unloaded from the ship and loaded onto fifty mule carts.

Six hundred people took turns to fight, and everyone was afraid that something would go wrong and they would not get the final money. They were extremely careful when carrying, and there was no problem at all.

Afterwards, Chen Yan kept his promise and paid the wages one by one.

Everyone was overjoyed and kept thanking him.

Chen Yan responded one by one, it was worth it to use Gu Wei's money to gain popularity!

In the posthouse, Gu Wei had already woken up.

Jin Ze and others had already gone to rest, leaving only the guards waiting by the side.

"Sir, don't be angry with the county magistrate, it's not worth it!"

The guards were afraid that Gu Wei would not understand, so they hurried to comfort him.

Gu Wei calmed down, but suddenly laughed: "Angry? I'm too happy now!"

The guards said in confusion: "Sir, what are you doing..." He thought to himself, is the lord angry to the point of losing his mind? Why did he suddenly say such a strange thing?

Gu Wei took a few breaths, sat up from the bed, and sneered: "Today, I was indeed fooled and suffered a loss. But these hired workers are not hired for just one day! I want to see how long Chen Yan can last with the 1,000 taels of silver!"

One tael a day, 600 people in two days will have 1,200 taels.

The silver bills he lost can't even last two days, so Chen Yan will have to pay for it himself in the future!

"Chen Yan, Chen Yan, you are shooting yourself in the foot!"

"Tomorrow I will go to see you laugh and see how you can still laugh!"

Early in the morning of the next day, Gu Wei came to the ferry.

But when he arrived at the ferry, he was stunned.

Mule carts were ready and ready to go.

According to the plan, in addition to the muleteer driving the cart, each cart would have several hired workers walking with the cart to assist. According to his idea, all the hired workers should be ready and about to set off.

But those hired workers disappeared!

He walked to the pier in confusion, only to see Chen Yan sitting on the deck of the small boat, eating leisurely.Early.

"Mr. Chen! Why are you still here? Isn't it time to set off?" Gu Wei shouted.

"I can't set off." Chen Yan said vaguely while chewing a bun with his mouth full of oil.

"Why?" Gu Wei was surprised.

"Your Excellency has eyes, you should see how we can set off without employees?" Chen Yan didn't even look at him and picked up another bun.

"Wait, where are the employees you hired yesterday?" Gu Wei began to feel something was wrong.

"They were dismissed." Chen Yan said nonchalantly.

"What! You dismissed them, how can we set off?" Gu Wei was shocked.

"This doesn't seem to be a problem for me to consider." Chen Yan finally looked at him, smiling, "Thank you for your concern. But please remember that the employees you find must still meet my standards, otherwise we can't set off."

"You!" Gu Wei was so angry that he pointed at him, his fingers were shaking.

The development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations!

In this way, not only does Chen Yan not have to bear the subsequent employment silver, but he also has to find a way to invite people back!

What's more terrible is that with the generous treatment of one tael a day in front, if he offers a lower salary, those hired workers may not be willing to come back!

"Chen Yan, you are so good! You want me to spend money, but I won't do as you wish! Let's waste it! Let's waste it and see who can outlast the other!" Gu Wei stomped his feet and left angrily.

After returning to the posthouse, Gu Wei immediately went to find Jin Ze and told him the story.

"This boy is simply lawless! Sir, you have to make a decision for me!" After saying that, Gu Wei said angrily.

Jin Ze also frowned.

The situation is a bit bad!

Originally, I just wanted to see Gu Wei deal with Chen Yan, but now that things have become so serious, they have begun to affect the main business!

The trip was delayed a bit before. If it continues like this, it will be delayed for a long time. I am afraid that if it is investigated later, not only Gu Wei will be held responsible, but he will also be held responsible!

Thinking of this, Jin Ze's face sank and said, "Master Gu, do you want to delay the important affairs of the court for your own selfishness?"

Gu Wei originally came to him to seek approval, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing. He was shocked and hurriedly said, "I don't mean that..."

Jin Ze interrupted him: "You must set off today! I don't care what method you use, you must find everyone for me!"

Gu Wei was shocked and said, "But this matter is because of the trouble of the surname Chen..."

Jin Ze interrupted him again: "You want to find bad luck with him yourself, who can you blame?"

Gu Wei's face lost all color and looked at Jin Ze in disbelief.

Yesterday, Jin Ze hinted that he could deal with Chen Yan, but now he actually pushed everything on him!

This is trouble!
