Bai Yan confiscated most of the money, took out a small amount and distributed it to the entire bank.
"Young master, you have been good enough to us, but we don't dare to accept this money."
Lin Xiaowu and others refused again and again. This was a hundred taels of silver.
What does one hundred taels of silver mean? An ordinary farmer will never earn this amount in his lifetime.
"This is what you deserve, and it is also some compensation from the bank." Bai Yan said.
"Young Master, why do you want to compensate us?" Lin Xiaowu asked confused.
His family's house was also brought back, and his sister's illness was cured. He was the only one who owed Bai Yan, how could Bai Yan owe them?
"This is compensation for the war. This time, although the Sankou did not invade Lucheng, how could there be no losses when the Sankou crossed the border? This money is to make up for your losses. And, from today on, any natural or man-made disasters, the bank will
Use some of the money to subsidize the victims." Bai Yan said solemnly.
Lin Xiaowu and others looked at each other. Is there such a thing as compensation for the war? But looking at Bai Yan's expression, it was not a joke, it was true.
"Young Master, you are a living Bodhisattva."
"It is Xiao Wu's lifelong blessing to be able to follow the eldest young master."
Everyone screamed from the bottom of their hearts.
Giving subsidies because of the war? This was unprecedented in the Daqian Dynasty. In the eyes of everyone, only a Bodhisattva would do this.
Bai Yan said calmly: "I am not a Bodhisattva. I am giving you this money to help me do things. Similarly, if some of you cheat and do something that is sorry for the bank, I will not be lenient. At that time, I will not only
If you vomit out what you have eaten, you will have to pay back twice as much."
"Don't worry, young master, we will definitely manage the bank well."
Everyone took an oath one after another.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Yan was very satisfied. He did this to win people's hearts.
Giving subsidies was something Bai Yan thought of on the way here, and he also copied the methods of some entrepreneurs in his previous life. In the Daqian Dynasty, it had never existed, and it was even more effective. Many big bosses, big landowners, even enemies
When the killing comes, workers must be forced to plow the land and work, regardless of their life or death.
Facts have proved that it was very successful. At least at this moment, he saw the sincere eyes of countless people.
Bai Yan took out another fifty taels of silver from the desk and handed it to Xiao Cui: "This is for you."
"Young Master, I don't have any merit, I can't take this." Xiao Cui refused without thinking.
Bai Yan was not surprised and said with a smile: "Those who have seen it have a share, and you don't get it for nothing. There will be many places where you will be needed in the future."
Xiaocui waved her hands again and again: "Master, Xiaocui is your girl, and she should serve you."
"Then think of it as a reward from me. I'm happy today and will give you some. If you don't want it, you won't give me face."
"Xiao Cui doesn't dare!"
Xiao Cui then held fifty taels of silver in her arms, which was heavy and a bit heavy.
Her eyes gradually became blurry.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Bai Yan asked.
"No, Xiaocui thought of the past. When my father sold me to the Bai family, he wanted to sell me for fifty taels of silver. But in the end, I only had forty taels."
Xiaocui smiled sadly. She is not worth fifty taels!
"It's all over and everything will be fine in the future."
Bai Yan comforted Xiao Cui, then turned to give instructions to Lin Xiaowu.
"All food and housing must be returned. If you do it yourself, you must give justice to the victims. But you must also be careful not to let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of the loophole."
Lin Xiaowu nodded in response: "I have followed the instructions of the eldest young master. Many people are grateful for the eldest young master's kindness and say that the eldest young master is a kind man. They want to thank the eldest young master in person. Now that the inventory has been completed, Xiao Wu will meet next
I will fully assist the young master to do this well."
"No, Xiao Wu, you can handle this matter. I don't want to show up." Bai Yan shook his head and refused.
"Ah? Master, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. Why don't you go?" Lin Xiaowu was confused.
Others don't understand that Bai Yan's reputation is not good, to be precise, it's very bad. This is the best opportunity to restore his reputation.
Once his reputation becomes great, even the Qin family will have to look at Bai Yan with admiration.
"I just don't want my reputation to be too great. Xiao Wu, remember, there's nothing wrong with being low-key," Bai Yan said.
Lin Xiaowu nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaowu seemed to have thought of something and said hurriedly: "Young master, we found a large number of land deeds in Han Chang's home, covering thousands of acres of land. He seems to have bought the entire Liujiazhuang."
"Is there still this matter? Let me take a look." Bai Yan frowned.
In order to prevent the land annexation and the people from having no land, the Daqian Dynasty prohibited the sale of land.
Once discovered, it is a felony.
Some princes will take risks and buy in large quantities. They will be unscrupulous only if they have money and power and can cover up.
But who is Han Chang? He is just a domestic slave. The Bai family does not dare to buy large quantities of fertile land. If Han Chang really does it, he will lead the Bai family to destruction.
The so-called unruly slave is nothing more than this.
Soon, Lin Xiaowu brought a thick stack of land deeds, which, as he said, covered thousands of acres.
"Liujiazhuang? What is this place?" Bai Yan asked confused.
"This is a Zhuangzi more than 30 kilometers west of Lucheng. Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains on three sides, has rich water quality, very fertile soil, and has a high grain yield. In the past few years, people from Liujiazhuang would bring a lot of grain to sell here. These
Year, I haven’t seen it yet.” A guard who knew Liujiazhuang responded.
"It's hard for people in Liujiazhuang to fill their stomachs now. Where can there be extra food to sell? I heard that there are cases of girls being sold to bury their fathers in Liujiazhuang. The people there are so poor that they can't even afford coffins." Another
A guard said.
Hearing this, everyone became angry.
"The current situation in Liujiazhuang must have something to do with Han Chang. I didn't expect that he would do so many destructive things behind the scenes."
"Fortunately, the young master got rid of Han Chang, otherwise I don't know how many people he would have framed."
Bai Yan snorted coldly: "Han Chang is turning Liujiazhuang into his own back garden, and he wants the Bai family to bear the risk."
The leader of the guard asked: "Young Master, what are you going to do? The people in Liujiazhuang are really suffering now."
The others stopped talking and looked at Bai Yan.
Han Chang bought the land with money from the bank, and these lands now belong to the Bai family. This is not a small sum of money.
"Let's go and have a look tomorrow. If we can return these lands, we still have to return them."
Bai Yan waved his hand and returned to the room alone. He was not in the mood to go out for a walk anymore.
Han Chang has done so many things. Several big shopkeepers of the Bai family are relatives of the Han family. What have they done?
Just thinking about it made Bai Yan shudder. On the surface, the Bai family was prosperous, but internally it was eroded by moths and was already in danger.
