Chapter 053 100,000 taels

Lin Zimo, who did not directly say that he wanted silver, led the topic to the need to repair the city walls and gates, and recruit more volunteers and so on. He said on the one hand, and Zhao Wenxuan nodded in agreement. The big family heard a clear and clear understanding. They made a rough calculation and knew that they would pay a lot of money.

The big families have never had the idea of uniting up to get rid of Zhao Wenxuan. However, it is urgent that he can impose punishment on their son at any time. When they transferred Zhao Wenxuan away, their respective sons would have been out of their lives for a long time. The big family had to show the courage to cut meat and sores and directly asked Lin Zimo a specific number.

"If all the expenses are added up, I estimate that it should cost 100,000 taels of silver." Lin Zimo said with his fingers.

Many of the big people made a 'ah' sound. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for them, so their faces showed a surprised expression, and then they kept crying and saying no. Lin Zimo, who was a businessman in his previous life, has already calculated for them. He asked this group of large families to take out three or five thousand taels of silver to save their sons. For them, he believes that although there is some pain, it is not a problem at all.

"Lin Xiancheng, can you take less? One hundred thousand taels of silver is really a lot. Wang Fugui asked carefully.

Lin Zimo looked unhappy and pretended to be angry and said, "What you said is really strange. This 100,000 taels of silver is not used to enter my Lin's pocket, but to defend our Pingnan County. If you think I'm not good at doing anything, then go and talk to Zhao Baihu. As for your matter, I don't care."

Wang Fugui was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat for fear that he would not let go: "Don't mind what I just said. That's just what I said casually. These 100,000 taels of silver... Ouch..."

Zhao Wenxuan immediately interrupted to echo Lin Zimo's words: "It's up to you. If you think this 100,000 taels of silver is too much, it doesn't matter if you don't take it. Then, I can only feel sorry for your sons.

One of the big family was eager to love his son and said urgently, "Lord Zhao, don't do that. Please allow us to go down and discuss it. Whether it goes or not, we will give you an answer.

"You can go down and discuss it quickly. I'll give you another column of incense. Zhao Wenxuan said lurely, "I have other things to do. I don't have the leisure to spend time here with you."

"We know. I won't waste your time." Wang Fugui once again answered his words on behalf of the big families.

A room of people slowly walked out and came to the middle of the spacious yard to discuss, and only Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan were left in the house. Lin Zimo, sitting behind the public case, held a teacup in his hand and seemed to drink tea leisurely, but he still had no bottom in his heart. He is still worried that this group of big families will become iron cocks.

Looking at Zhao Wenxuan outside the room, he took three steps inside and came to the public case and said in a low voice, "Brother, will they be willing to take out the silver? Even I think that if you want 100,000 taels of silver, it's a lion opening.

"How can they be willing? It's just that there's nothing we can do." Lin Zimo took a sip of tea and said, "In this extraordinary period, their son refused to fulfill the convocation of the county government for them. This group of people laugh when they exploit the people, and they are bitter when they ask them to pay. Since the people have contributed, they have to make money. What's the truth in this world that you only ask for and don't pay?"

Zhao Wenxuan nodded and agreed with his words very much: "This group of big people dance the most happily on weekdays, and as long as something happens, they will try to hide. If they don't take out the silver, let them know that my knife is not vegetarian.

"Wen Xuan, don't get excited. You just have to play your own play well. Lin Zimo told him.

The time of a column of incense passed quickly, and this group of large households returned one after another. Although Wang Fugui did not produce a couple of silver, he still acted as their spokesperson. In the eyes of everyone, he said something in front of Lin Zimo.

"Have you all discussed it?" Zhao Wenxuan, sitting on the chair, stepped on the surface of the chair with one foot, as if smiling.

Wang Fugui bowed to him and said with a smile, "We have all discussed it. These 100,000 taels of silver are distributed by each family. But..."

"What's the matter? Do you still have additional conditions?" Zhao Wenxuan asked very unpleasively.

Wang Fugui, who was sweating on his forehead, waved his hand in a hurry and said, "No, there are absolutely no conditions. We just want Lord Lin to engrave the names of the big money on the stone tablets so that the people in the city know that we are benevolent for the rich.

"This is what it should be." Lin Zimo readily agreed and comforted their bleeding heart and said, "I will also report your righteousness to the house so that the magistrate can praise you."

"When will you hand in the silver?" Zhao Wenxuan, who has a cold face, is afraid of long night dreams.

"In two days, we will definitely hand over all these 100,000 taels of silver to the county government." Wang Fugui is really afraid of his living way of the king of life.

"That's good. In these two days, I will treat your respective sons deliciously. Zhao Wenxuan suddenly changed his words and said with a murderous face, "If two days have passed and you haven't handed over the silver, then be ready to collect your son's body!" At that time, I think the businessman in the coffin business can make a fortune.

Wang Fugui saw that his handsome face had become so cold, which made his legs weak and said, "We will definitely hand over the money in full and on time to ensure that it will not delay our set days."

"Oi, you all go back and get ready!" Zhao Wenxuan raised his hand and waved it.

Before leaving, the big families said goodbye to Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan one after another. Lin Zimo stood up with a kind face. While returning gifts to them, he sent someone to send them out of the county government. Zhao Wenxuan still didn't move his buttocks and even turned his face inside. He didn't want to look at their group of hypocrites anymore.

Lin Zimo, who returned to the chair and sat down, raised his left thumb and smiled, "Yes, you really did a good job. Even I think what you said is true."

"What I just said is from the bottom of my heart. They didn't think that if Pingnan County was really defeated by the rebels, all their money would become someone else's. As for whether they can still live or not, it's a question mark. Zhao Wenxuan put down one of his feet from the chair and sat upright and said, "Brother, you still erect their names. They are really beautiful."

"If they were given 100,000 taels of silver, they still have to save something for them." Lin Zimo put away his smile and said seriously, "Don't talk about them. Let's talk about how to use this silver?

"Brother, just take care of it." Zhao Wenxuan, who was not good at dealing with money affairs, quickly shirked.

Lin Zimo told his plan and said, "I'm going to take out another 5,000 taels of silver to reward our brothers who were born and die. After all, the things given to them for the first time are still a little less. Both my bravery and your officers and soldiers need to fill 100 people. In addition, I plan to recruit another 400 nominal braves. In that case, 500 braves and 100 officers and soldiers are stationed in Pingnan County. Wang Pengfei's government army no longer participated in the defense of Pingnan County. They can do whatever they should have done. After all, public security in the city is also very important.

"I'll do everything according to my eldest brother's arrangement." Zhao Wenxuan trusted him very much.

Lin Zimo, who paused for a moment, said his wish and said, "If only we could get a few cannons and dozens of firecrackers. Those things are really funny."

"This is more difficult to do." Zhao Wenxuan knew the truth and said, "These things are strictly controlled by the court. If the volunteers in Pingnan County are equipped with those things, they are likely to be defined as conspiracy.

"Forget it." Lin Zimo said reluctantly, "Then let's prepare more long-range weapons, rolling stones, giant trees and so on. This experience makes me feel that these kinds of things are very useful for guarding the city. Since the court stipulates that we can't use firearms, we have to use them.

Zhao Wenxuan agrees very much. After all, these things are very useful to deal with rebels without siege weapons.

"I will leave all the recruitment and training to you. You are very good at this. Lin Zimo said, "As for other errands, I will do it. Let's play our own strengths!"

Zhao Wenxuan promised. The two said something else in the government office, and then he left. Lin Zimo, who was sitting alone in the government office, began to calculate the details. With deep understanding, he found that fighting was a costly and laborious job. The fundamental motivation that the people below him is willing to follow is basically unable to escape the pursuit of silver.

Lin Zimo understands their original intention very well. In this dynasties with underdeveloped productivity, fighting in the army is also a means to make a living. Although the silver problem has been solved, he found that new problems have emerged. Hundreds of people's weapons, armor, meals and other problems were put in front of them one by one.

I can't let them kill the enemy with their bare hands, so they have to deal with the new trifles. Lin Zimo, who was thinking about how to deal with this pile of problems, was interrupted by Chu Dalang who broke in. He raised his head and looked at his aggrieved face and knew that there must be nothing good.
