On this afternoon, Chao Bo and others were talking about the morning competition scene in the thatched house, but everyone was obviously a little distracted. Xiao Tao was in a daze from time to time, and the two brothers stood up frequently and looked out the window. Ping Ze was there
He was pacing uneasily in the room, sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, seemingly calmly knitting his straw sandals, his dexterous hands could work, but he made frequent mistakes today for some unknown reason.
"Here comes the money!"
At this time, they heard a loud shout from outside, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up together.
Then, the door was kicked open, and the skinny Ji Ying walked in with a big smile on his face, holding a big pottery basin, followed closely by Mu, who held a small earthen bowl in his big palms, with a smile on his face.
Overflowing with joy.
After that, Heifu and Dongmen Bao also walked in and closed the door again, blocking out all envious and jealous eyes.
Ji Ying and Mu put the utensils in their hands on the ground, and everyone gathered around them immediately. They saw that the basins contained four straw dustpans, and the dustpans were full of them.
The golden copper coin!
In this era, bronze was not called bronze, but was commonly called "gold" because before it was oxidized in the soil, the copper-tin alloy was actually bright yellow. But it was different from gold, which was a high-grade currency. The specific situation must be analyzed in detail.
, people of later generations, who indiscriminately interpret all gold as copper, or interpret all gold as gold, are all rogues...
So when these copper coins were piled together, they were really shining, making everyone's eyes shine with a strange light, especially the few people who had been waiting in the room for a long time, smiling from ear to ear.
They all come from poor backgrounds, and they have never seen so much money in their lives!
The most exaggerated one was Ping. He knelt on the ground, as if he wanted to embrace the coins, and said cheerfully: "I can die on it."
Uncle Chao was calmer and said tremblingly: "Are these really four thousand dollars?"
"Yes." Hei Fu said with a smile: "One thousand coins per basket, Yuan Bai gave us four baskets in total. Ji Ying was worried, but he had counted them one by one! It was indeed four thousand coins, not much, but not much.
!”
Na Yuanbai simply collected the money and sent it over in one afternoon. He was indeed a well-known wealthy family in the county. Of course, this was all because they had asked officials to testify and settled on the deed, so they could not default on the debt.
.
After saying this, everyone felt relieved, but then the question came, how should the money be divided?
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Heifu. After experiencing so many days as a queen, Shichang's prestige was at its peak, and everyone listened to him.
"I thought so."
Hei Fu knelt down, selected a basket, picked up the half-taels of 100 coins in each bunch, divided them into five parts, 200 coins each, and put them aside.
"Mu, pig, flat, yes, no, five of you, 200 yuan each."
He reached out to another dustpan and divided the thousand dollars in it into three parts.
Finally, Heifu picked out another 500 dollars and placed it in front of Dongmen Bao.
"Dongmen Leopard, 500 yuan."
Then he smiled: "The remaining 1,500 money belongs to me. Do you think this split is appropriate?"
When Mr. Hei divided the money, everyone held their breath and didn't say a word. Finally, they looked at each other. Some were satisfied, but others had some opinions.
"I thought it was divided equally among ten people..."
Ping, who only took 200 yuan, said a little bit sourly, and at the same time muttered: "The chief himself took so much..."
"You guy!"
Before Hei Fu could express his position, Ji Ying and Dongmen Leopard, the two hard-core Hei Fus, were immediately furious, but the first one to scold Ping was the eldest Uncle Chao among the people.
"Ping, don't make sarcastic comments on the sidelines!"
Uncle Chao pointed at Ping angrily and said, "You really have no memory. When we said we didn't want to compete for first place in the competition, Shi Chang made the decision and asked us to do our best. Without Shi Chang's initiative, we wouldn't have the money."
"Furthermore, you have been training us day and night these past few days, and you have learned all the training methods passed down from your family. Otherwise, how could you have made such rapid progress if you were as stupid as a stupid cow?"
"Finally, it was Shi Chang who signed the contract with Yuan Bai in the first place. He invested himself in it for the four thousand dollars. If he lost, he would do the work alone and work as a servant for Yuan Bai for two years.
! Never implicate us. Now that he has won, he is willing to share the money with us... I have lived for more than thirty years, and I have never seen anyone who behaves so fairly."
Every time he spoke, Ping's face became paler, and his head lowered lower and lower, until finally, it was completely drooped.
Uncle Chao said everything in his heart that he had been squeezing for the past few days in one breath: "In my opinion, even if the chief gets half of the money, there is no problem!"
"Uncle Chao said something fair!" Dongmen Leopard and Ji Ying clapped their hands in agreement, while Xiao Tao, Pig, Mu and others also nodded in agreement.
During the whole process, Heifu kept smiling and saying nothing. He waited until everyone had stopped making noises before he raised his hand to ask them to quiet down.
"Actually, there is a reason why I divide it this way."
"Each of the five people will get 200 yuan. This is the reward you deserve for your hard training."
"Ji Ying has been advising and comforting everyone for me these days. He has done a small job, so he deserves 300."
When Ji Ying heard this, he nodded proudly to everyone. Money was a small matter, but the important thing was that his contribution was not missed by his good brothers.
Heifu looked at Xiao Tao, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Tao was threatened and bribed, but he was not afraid of rape and flatly refused. Moreover, among all the people, he learned the fastest and performed the most standard movements.
, the people behind him basically follow him, am I right? Therefore, he deserves 300 yuan."
Xiao Tao scratched his head in embarrassment and blushed again.
"As for Uncle Chao." Hei Fu bowed to him and said, "Uncle Chao is a veteran in the army. He has learned everything these days and helped me improve my training methods. He has made great contributions and he is an elder, so he deserves 400 coins."
"
"What should be done, what should be done." Chaobo's goatee trembled slightly.
"Dongmen Bao is the corps leader. He has been assisting me with all his strength these days. Not to mention this, he deserves 500 yuan." Dongmen Bao nodded to Hei Fu. Hei Fu had already discussed with him in advance about the money sharing.
, Dongmen Leopard values righteousness over wealth and has no opinions at all. It all depends on Hei Fu’s decision.
Heifu said this, paused slightly, then pointed at himself and said: "As for me, Uncle Chao has just said that I will not boast. If anyone feels that my distribution of money is unfair, you can raise it. If everyone thinks it is reasonable,
, I, the black husband, will not take any money from you, but will give you all the money!"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and everyone remained silent. No one, including Ping, who had the biggest opinion, dared to say no.
"Two hundred dollars is enough." Zhi picked up his share of money contentedly and said with a smile, "It allows me to buy a thick winter coat and two pairs of coarse cloth shoes. What else is there to dissatisfy?"
"Yes, it's very fair. We have nothing to say!" His younger brother Mu Nan said.
"In addition to money, the chief also distributed wine and meat to us, and helped us reduce our labor force next year. If you are so kind and generous, if you still dare to complain, your conscience will be eaten by pigs and dogs!" Ji Ying
Cursed.
Others also joined in and put their own money into their pockets, and laughter returned to the room again...
…
Although the money was made behind closed doors, Ji Ying's big mouth soon spread the news, and the guards talked about it and were envious.
In this way, by evening, the matter of "black men sharing money" had reached the ears of county right lieutenant Du Xian through the mouth of Chen Baijiang.
"Good, it seems that this gentleman, Heifu, not only has martial arts, can do a lot of his job, and trains the rabble into order, but also distributes rewards equally and reasonably. He is a talent."
He looked at Chen Baijiang: "If such a person is not an official, it will be a dereliction of duty on our part..."
"What does the superior mean?"
Chen Baijiang was stunned. Although he saw that Lieutenant You admired Hei Fu, he never expected that Du Xian actually planned to make Hei Fu an official!
To sum it up, Heifu has a title, has reached adulthood, and has met the rigid conditions for being an official. But after this incident, this man has completely become enemies with Zuo Wei and Bin Baijiang. At this time, You Wei wants to let him be an official.
, what does this mean? Do you want to completely fall out with Zuo Wei? Or do you just want to keep Zuo Wei at your throat before being transferred?
Moreover, the Qin State had many ways to appoint officials. Should the right lieutenant recommend him personally? Or should he let the localities make their own recommendations? Or should he ask the county magistrate to recruit them? The first method is too risky, and the latter two are not easy either.
"It's not urgent."
Du Xian waved his hand and said, "Let me take another look at this person's character. It won't be too late until the soldier's service is over!"
…
On the other side, Heifu didn't know what Lieutenant You was discussing with Chen Baijiang. After the ten-day competition, all the soldiers began to organize themselves together, holding bamboos and wooden sticks, and began to practice "divide and combine, combine"
And solve it”.
After learning these things, they are qualified reservists who may be drafted into the army at any time, distributed weapons, undergo more professional training, and then embark on the real battlefield.
Guishi had the previous foundation and was the fastest in completing the movements during joint training. However, Heifu always felt that Chen Baijiang, who trained them, always looked at him meaningfully these days, and his attitude was no longer the same as before.
The arrogance of being kind to others turned into a warm embrace...
As for General Bin Bai, he has not been seen again since that day when he was severely punished by the right lieutenant and squatted and jumped ten times on the school field in front of the watchmen and county soldiers. It is said that he was taking care of his health. After all, he was ten
Jumping around, my legs are almost broken. And in the future, I am afraid that General Bin Bai will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the school. It is said that he may be transferred to several townships below Anlu County.
"He can go wherever he likes, as long as it's not Yunmengxiang." Heifu said.
On the morning of October 15th, after completing the last joint training, the watchmen were allowed to rest for half a day, but were not allowed to go out. From tomorrow on, they would begin more strenuous labor, and the good days were over.
Heifu returned to the hut and discussed with everyone whether they should cut off the dried meat that was rewarded during the competition today to improve the food.
He originally wanted to divide all the meat, but everyone was embarrassed, so they only asked Hei Fu to divide five pieces and leave five pieces to dry in the sun to take home after serving. Anyway, the dried meat has been salted, so it's big
It won't rot in winter.
As for being stolen? Sorry, Qin law stipulates that even if you cut off a piece of meat as big as your thumb, even if it is not worth a penny, you will be punished as the crime of larceny, and your black hair will be shaved, and you will be shameless to see anyone from now on.
.
With Heifu taking the lead, Dongmen Leopard also took out two of the five dried meat sticks he got and distributed them to everyone to eat. In this way, everyone could eat some meat every day, and their life was very happy.
At this moment, Ji Ying, who had gone to borrow a cauldron for cooking, came back. The man shouted loudly outside the house: "Hei Fu, someone is looking for you outside the school grounds, saying he is your brother!"
