Jia Liu, who had no choice but to receive the business note, could only cheer up and go back to prepare for the business trip.
I might as well think about it halfway, since I am currently involved in a "lawsuit", I might as well take advantage of Lao Li to help me cover up and go out to avoid it by transporting food.
Moreover, this Meino village is not safe either.
If the plateau soldiers took action in the past few days, he would be able to avoid this disaster, and maybe he could come back and clean up the mess.
When I went back and told the key team about transporting food, everyone was also angry. There was no reason why they would let people go out just after they came back without even allowing them to rest.
But with the arrangements from above, what can they do?
After all, they were all loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Jia Liu asked everyone to go back and prepare for the business trip. The transportation of grain to Dimuda was quite far this time, and the escort was grain. It was estimated that the round trip would take ten or even twenty days.
Just now Lao Cui said that there are high mountains on the side of Dimuda, which is a sharp knife inserted by the Qing army into the belly of the Jinchuan Fan Army. The strategic location is very important, so Sichuan Admiral Dong Tianbi personally led the troops to garrison it.
The implication is that there must be no mistakes in the military rations shipped to Dimuda this time. If anything goes wrong, the person directly responsible, Jia Liu, will be held accountable.
Therefore, Jia Liu really became a transport escort this time, no longer a robber, but a true bodyguard.
That must be treated with caution.
He planned to send someone to contact Lu Yuanguang and tell him that he also wanted to transport food. He hoped that for the sake of mutual non-aggression, he would be allowed to go there. If not, he could just pay some money to pay for the toll.
In order to distinguish his grain transport team from other grain transport teams, Jia Liu planned to bring Hua Gou Xiong with him.
Don't offend if you see a bear.
Liu De had already come back and had been hiding outside without showing up. When he heard Master Jia was back, he quietly came over.
A total of more than 310,000 taels were transferred in this operation, and after deducting the handling fee, it was about 270,000 taels.
Watching Liu De take out the banknotes one after another from the two big bags, the eyes of all the gang members were stunned.
Jia Liuze's cheeks were twitched several times.
He felt that Liu De could have come over to discuss work when he was alone.
"Here, let me say a few words..."
After coughing slightly, Jia Liu proposed a plan to share the spoils, that is, these Qian flag members and officers (including key members) would not be distributed first, and the remaining battalion soldiers and Su La would be distributed 500 taels each. There were about 160 people.
Eighty thousand taels per shot.
It's really a huge sum of money, equivalent to 25 to 30 years' salary of a battalion soldier.
You can't pick on it, because this is not only what others deserve, it is also the motivation for them to continue to follow, and it is also a weapon to ensure that they keep their mouths shut.
"Why not send it to us?"
Zu Yingyuan expressed his dissatisfaction. The money was not only money for selling their lives, but also money for beheading, and they were all waiting to be divided.
"Do you still want to make progress?"
Jia Liu rolled his eyes at Zu Yingyuan and told his accomplices that he was not refusing to pay them, but that he wanted to concentrate the money and use it in more valuable ways.
"Don't you know what the situation is now? To put it bluntly, if it happens, I mean just in case, maybe this money can save our lives."
Jia Liu believes that the backbones of the gang have a deep understanding of the current situation. Although Sichuan Inspector Lao Li has become the president of the gang, he is not Wen Zhongtang after all, so he can help delay it, but in the end some things still have to be faced.
And he also needs to give Lao Li some money to help clear things up, even if it takes a few more days.
At the same time, we must also instill in everyone the truth that the prosperity of the people does not mean the strength of the country.
Now that all the money is directly divided, the collective strength may become weakened, which is not conducive to the cohesion and growth of the gang.
Gu Li
Wang Fu understood another meaning. He told everyone that if something happened to the camp and there would be too many official vacancies, they would definitely not be able to fill them according to normal procedures with their current conditions, so they would still have to spend a lot of money to fill them in at that time.
Smash the money.
"How should I put it? The money is placed with your lord, but it doesn't belong to your lord Jia alone, it belongs to all of us. He just keeps it for us."
"Yep."
Jia Liu nodded repeatedly. Wang Fu's words were on point. Mr. Jia was here to serve everyone.
It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.
"Don't worry, the leftovers will definitely be shared with everyone. I'm not short of money. Is it possible that I still steal everyone's money?"
"Why, you still can't trust me?"
Since they are a gang, Jia Liu can make his own decisions on small matters, but he still hopes to be open and transparent about major matters and get all the votes in favor.
"We listen to adults!"
After hearing this, most of the people expressed no objections, and even Zu Yingyuan just whispered a few reservations.
Cui Hengyou, who had been fined twice by Jia Liu on the way here, looked at Mr. Jia with some doubts: "Isn't Mr. Jia always short of money? Why is it not short of money this time?"
"...That's it, we have to transport food tomorrow, so you should all go to bed early."
Jia Liu was about to break up the meeting, and everyone stood up, but Yang Yuchun, the half-grown child, whispered: "Since you all want to be an official and are afraid of Wen Zhongtang's money robbery, why can't you just kill Wen Zhongtang?"
Anyway, I made a yellow mantle."
Jia Liu was stunned, Xiao Chunzi was still thinking about this matter.
Wang Fu touched Yang Yuchun's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with Mr. Li here, Wen Zhongtang won't be able to find us for a while, and he won't be able to find us when he finds out it's us, so there's no need for us to take action."
When he said this, he looked at Jia Liu, because it was Captain Jia who told them that the plateau soldiers in the camp had faked their surrender.
Yang Yuchun had a different view. He worried: "What if they don't take action...I mean if they don't take action now, and Mr. Li can't hold it back, what should I do?"
Jia Liu sat down.
Some of the backbone members who got up were still standing, while others subconsciously sat down, and their faces were either ugly or solemn.
Yes, they trust Mr. Jia very much. If Mr. Jia says it’s okay for the time being, it will be fine. But what if what Mr. Jia says is not safe and those people who descend from the plateau don’t take action?
"Xiao Chunzi, what do you think we should do?" Zu Yingyuan did not treat Stick God as a half-grown child.
Yang Yuchun looked at Jia Liu with some hesitation.
Jia Liu nodded slightly: "If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Yang Yuchun then boldly expressed his idea, that is, he could pretend to be a foreigner and set fire to the camp at night. Then the camp would definitely be in chaos, and then they would take advantage of the chaos to kill Wen Zhongtang.
"No one knew it was you who did it, because you are all descendants of the Eight Banners."
Zu Yingyuan thought for a moment: "The question is how can we enter the camp."
Yang Yuchun said: "Aren't you going to send food through Muguomu?"
Zu Yingyuan shook his head: "I'm talking about how to let us enter the camp."
"Isn't there that Mr. Li?"
After a moment of silence, Zu Yingyuan looked at Jia Liu and said in a deep voice: "What Xiaochunzi said makes sense. I think you are thinking too simply. Since you have done something, you should follow it to the end. If Wen Zhongtang is not killed, something will happen sooner or later.
.”
"We can't do this. If the camp is in chaos, our army will be destroyed. The rebels will definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. How will we suppress the rebellion without the army?"
Bao Guozhong has a big-picture concept.
Zu Yingyuan exclaimed: "When we become adults, shouldn't we put down rebellions for the imperial court?"
