Lin Fu, Chen Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin and others rushed to Gu's house. Gu Wuchen rushed back from the Yamen later. Lin Fu had already made his own decision and asked Yang Pu and Gu's accountant to transfer more than nine thousand taels of silver, three
More than a hundred taels of gold were accounted for.
Mrs. Gu was really beaming.
Gu Wuchen came to Jiangning for the first time. Although the Dongyang Township Party and the officials of the Procuratorate had generous gifts, the number of people in the government had gradually increased, and it was difficult to control the expenditure. Before the New Year, Ma Chao also asked Ma Chao to bring a large sum of money to her.
My father bought rare treasures and treasures to take care of his colleagues from the Chu Party, the ministers of various ministries, temples, and palace ministers, but there was not much money left in his account. Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, he had to send people to Beijing to take care of them. Although his colleagues from the township party also showed their filial piety,
But she couldn't wait until she received the filial piety before going to the Imperial Capital to do things; Mrs. Gu was still thinking about whether to write a letter asking her father to put some money in advance, but she couldn't save money on other things that could be saved, such as management and filial piety.
Lin Fu and the others sent more than 9,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold this time, which really solved an urgent need.
When Gu Wuchen came back, Lin Fu and the others reported to him the results of the past two days. Chen Yuanliang was the oldest, so naturally he said: "There are still more than 14 million coins in copper at the mouth of the river. They are just transported together."
It's too ostentatious to come here, I'll wait for the gold and silver to be redeemed before sending it over..."
Gu Wuchen's face was calm and he said: "Why are you moving here? I don't want the money you sent me. You all took it back and divided it."
"The money you have on your side can be spent on what it should be spent on. All the ministries and temple supervisors in the imperial court need to take care of things, colleagues and old friends also need to communicate with each other, and the government has added staff and followers. Your Excellency has to donate money for work and food. There is no need to spend money on anything."
Money?" Chen/Yuanliang persuaded, "Only if your Excellency can establish a foothold in Jiangning can we establish a foothold. If you don't spend this money, we won't be able to feel at ease..."
"...It's true what you said," Gu Wuchen pondered for a moment, then ordered Yang Pu, "Bring over the three hundred taels of gold..." Seeing that Chen Yuanliang wanted to persuade him, he frowned and said, "I'll take the silver.
Reserve it for next time. There are copper deposits at the mouth of the river. Lin Fu, Chen Yuanliang, and Zhang Yubo share it among the three of you. After all, you also have a lot of money to spend. Three hundred taels of gold will be used to reward the meritorious people this time. The three of you will also
You have to count one share..."
There are still more than 14 million taels of copper and 12,000 taels of silver in Hekou. Each family of Lin Fu, Chen Yuanliang, and Zhang Yubo can get 4,000 taels. Lin Fu just got 20,000 taels of silver from the Qu family.
Chen/Yuanliang worked as magistrate of Moling County for two years, and his family was rich. He didn't care about the four thousand taels of silver. However, Zhang Yubo had been an official for many years. Firstly, the official positions he held were not dangerous, and secondly, he was out of reach.
The other officials were ruthless and their family resources were very thin. For him, four thousand taels of silver was a large amount of wealth that was unimaginable before. In this incident, Zhang Yubo was said to have contributed the least, so he was a little scared to be given so much money.
Chen Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, and Lin Fu all stood up and bowed to Gu Wuchen, as if the silver was given to them by Gu Wuchen. Yang Pu brought the gold and divided it into six parts. At this time, Yang Pu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Qinmin all counted.
Ordered a portion.
If it weren't for protecting the life of his only son Zhao Jin, Zhao Qinmin's wealth from Wang Xueshan would be far beyond the sixty taels of gold. However, his family escaped naked, with not a single penny of wealth on them, and only sixty taels of gold.
, worth four to five hundred taels of silver, which is a considerable amount of wealth. However, Zhao Qinmin wanted more stability at this time and did not want to be killed by the assassins sent by Wang Xueshan. He also took money lightly.
In fact, Zhao Qinmin also knew in his heart that Gu Wuchen's performance just now was a bit hypocritical. Everyone knew that the biggest profit was still the thirty-two criminals imprisoned on the prison island. As for how much profit could be extracted from these people,
It all depends on Gu Wuchen's methods. In short, Prison Island will not let him go until they see Gu Wuchen's warrant. Gu Wuchen didn't mention that he also had to take out the money and divide it with Lin Fu, Chen/Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo.
Zhao Qinmin also found it strange that Chen Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo did not contribute much this time, but Lin Fu was really not greedy for the money. Zhao Qinmin was also surprised that since Lin Fu was admitted to the imperial examination at a young age, why did he not strive for the title of Jinshi? With his talent and learning
With courage, if you have a better promotion, your future achievements will not be inferior to Gu Wuchen's.
Just as Chen/Yuanliang said, without the support of Gu Wuchen, the Dongyang Township Party would be in disarray in Jiangning. The first thing they have to do is to consolidate Gu Wuchen’s power in Jiangning and strengthen the Dongyang Township Party’s power and foundation in Jiangning.
, it is possible that the Dongyang Party will have a place in the DPRK in the future.
Leaving Guzhai, Zhang Yubo, Chen Yuanliang, Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin walked together surrounded by their retinue. Zhang Yubo felt uneasy about sharing so much gold and silver without making much credit, so he turned out of the street corner. There was no one else. Zhang Yubo said:
"I haven't made any merit yet, so I accept the gold shamelessly. I don't dare to be greedy anymore if I keep copper at the mouth of the river..."
"When it comes to credit, Lin Fu is the greatest. If you don't want it, just give it to Lin Fu. It has nothing to do with me..." Chen/Yuan Liang said.
"Master Chen, isn't it difficult for me? I still want to rush back to the mouth of the river to do things, but now I have to persuade Master Zhang," Lin Fu said with a smile, looked up at the sun, and said to Chen/Yuanliang, "Master Chen
It has been three days since I left Moling County. I dare not delay Mr. Chen any longer. I will save the copper and break it into silver to send to Mr. Chen tomorrow. I will also accompany Mr. Zhao to the Dongyang Guild Hall. From now on, Mr. Zhao will be a member of my Dongyang Township Party.
, you can’t skip a trip to Dongyang Guild Hall…”
Chen/Yuanliang really didn't dare to linger outside anymore, so he took the people back to the county first.
After Chen Yuanliang left, Lin Fu, Zhang Yubo, and Zhao Qinmin found a teahouse in the street to talk.
"Brother Yu Bo," Chen/Yuan Liang was not present. Lin Fu talked more intimately with Zhang Yu Bo and persuaded him, "from now on you will no longer be a idle person. Mr. Gu will transfer Liu Xilin to serve as the captain of the East City.
I have been traveling with him for several days in Xilin, and I have some understanding of his temperament. He is also a straightforward person. The situation of Lieutenant Dongcheng is quite complicated. I believe that if the two battalions of soldiers were thrown into the deep mountains and old forests by Brother Yubo and Liu Xilin,
In just a few days, you can train a sharp soldier who can command and obey orders. However, in the colorful world of Dongcheng, it is extremely difficult to make the Dongcheng Lieutenant's two battalions of soldiers as strong as arms. We must strictly restrain and enforce orders and prohibitions, Uncle Yu.
Brother Yu and Liu Xilin not only cannot ask for money from their subordinates, but they also have to give them money from time to time to reassure them and win their hearts, using both rewards and punishments. Brother Yu Bo, what can you do if you don’t have money? Besides, I have nothing else to offer.
I got forty pieces of armor and forty horses, and the price of silver is several thousand taels."
Lin Fu persuaded him like this, but Zhang Yubo had nothing to say to refute.
Lin Fu knew that Lieutenant Dongcheng was still in a mess, so he did not waste Zhang Yubo's time and asked him to go back to the Army and Horse Division. He would exchange the copper coins at the mouth of the river into silver and then find time to deliver them to Zhang Yubo.
Hearing what Lin Fu said to persuade Zhang Yubo, Zhao Qinmin also felt something in his heart. He didn't expect that the young Lin Fu would have so many and deep ideas. He had only been at the mouth of the river for three days. Zhao Qinmin also knew a little about how Lin Fu put it.
The recruitment of displaced workers was so effectively organized.
A tragic massacre of refugees occurred at the mouth of the river, with more than 140 dead and injured. If it were anyone else, there would be many refugees on the north bank of Chaotiandang. Thousands of people would be competing to do the two liters of rice a day for work and food, and people would die.
, hurt people, pick new ones, who will care about the dead and injured refugees?
Lin Fu had a different reaction from others. He set aside land to build a cemetery at the mouth of the river, buried the dead in coffins, spared no effort in administering medicine and medical treatment to the injured, and also provided money to support the families of the injured and displaced people. Rough calculations showed that Lin Fu
An extra thousand taels of silver were paid for the injured and injured refugees. Based on the price of the refugees on the north bank of Chaotiandang, one thousand taels of silver could keep 500 young men working for half a year. However, Lin Fu was willing to spend it on useless casualties and injured and disabled refugees.
The refugees can also be properly resettled.
When digging river channels to build wharves, Lin Fu gave priority to building enclosed houses for the refugees to live in. Even he himself still lives in a shack-like thatched cottage. The labor price calculated for the displaced workers is three liters of rice per day.
It is already 50% higher than that on the north shore, but up and down the embankment, the laborers are physically exhausted. Three liters of rice is barely enough to eat, but Jiyunshe provides additional subsidies for oil, salt, vegetables and meat. Although the laborers work hard every day, they have nothing to eat.
He is hungry and his body is even stronger than when he first came to Hekou.
Different from the urban people who enjoy a prosperous life in Jiangning City, these refugees are people who have experienced chaos and left their homes. In this land, they are originally excluded people with no roots. If Lin Fu can treat them like this, they will seriously risk their lives.
Sold to Lin Fu.
Chen Yuanliang and Zhang Yubo took their people away one after another. Seeing that only Zhou Pu and four guard soldiers were around, Zhao Qinmin was still a little worried and followed Lin Fu to Dongyang Township Hall.
Lin Fu originally went to the city to make an appointment with Lin Mengde to meet at Dongyang Xiangguan. He didn't expect that so many things happened suddenly, but finally things took a big step in the direction that was beneficial to them. He was in the teahouse just now
, some teagoers discussed what happened in the past few days, saying that Gu Wuchen would probably replace Jia Pengyu as the inspector this year, and truly become one of the five giants in Jiangdong City.
***************
Lin Fu and Zhao Qinmin rushed to the Dongyang Guild Hall. It was just after noon. Many township party members had gathered here for a dinner and had not yet left. Seeing Lin Fu coming, they all gathered around and asked about what happened in the past two days.
In fact, most of the inside information has been spread, and the situation has temporarily become clear: the inspector avoided Pingjiang Mansion after the incident and has not returned to Jiangning today. Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan fought hand to hand, fighting each other with knives, and actually managed to kill Wang Xueshan.
Suppressing it tightly, the light of the upstart of the Chu Party above Gu Wuchen's head was naturally dazzling.
Lin Fu had also gained a lot of limelight in the past two days. It was not easy for the Dongyang Township Party to meet Gu Wuchen. When they saw Lin Fu's appearance, they were naturally very enthusiastic. Lin Fu greeted everyone politely and also greeted the shopkeeper of the Dongyang Guild Hall.
After saying hello, he paid for the afternoon tea and introduced Zhao Qinmin to everyone. At this time, some Dongyang Township Party members in the hall also recognized Zhao Qinmin, most of them did not know him, but the news in the past two days was crazy, and they also knew Zhao Qinmin.
This person. These days, they only distinguish friends and foes with friends, without talking about character and morality. Lin Fu brought Zhao Qinmin to the guild hall and introduced him to everyone solemnly. His intention was obvious. Everyone was naturally warm to Zhao Qinmin, at least he didn't mind.
A few days ago, he was a personal close friend of King Yin Xueshan of Jiangning Prefecture.
Lin Fu asked Zhao Qinmin to get closer to the Dongyang Township Party, and when Lin Mengde came over, he and Lin Mengde found an elegant house to talk.
