MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 60 miner

In front of the county government warehouse, Chen Decheng, the boss in charge of money and grain, led someone to remove the boxes of tax and silver in the warehouse, then walked to Lu Zhixian with the account book, and said softly: "Sir, the newly collected tax in the library The silver and a sum of money allocated by the government are all here, adding up to a total of 13,200 taels, this is the account book, please check and sign it."

Lu Zhixian's cheeks twitched slightly, and he took the account book and held it in his hand without looking at it, so he stamped it on it, then raised his hand and instructed the soldiers of the Green Battalion who had been waiting there: "Move them all."

"twitter!"

A group of Green Battalion soldiers with red eyes responded with a bang, rushing towards the silver boxes like wolves, and then three or five people one box carried all the silver to the three carriages outside.

When the green battalion soldiers were carrying the money, Chen Decheng was still worried, and whispered to Lu Zhixian: "Sir, if there is so much money, if the government investigates it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

Lu Zhixian turned his head and put his gaze on Chen Zhubo's face, and asked him, "The thieves are attacking the city, does the county need to organize young men to defend the city?"

"That's natural."

"Would this young man in the upper city be rewarded with silver?"

"You can only reward brave men if you are rewarded, and this reward is naturally indispensable."

"That being the case, the whereabouts of the money will be clear. What is there for the government to ask? Could it be that the money is more important than the gains and losses of Deqing City?"

After Lu Zhixian finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the three carriages again. He couldn't see the slightest change in expression on his face, but his gaze on Yinzi was a little unpredictable.

......

As soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, Tang Sanshui's personal soldier Jia Da jumped down excitedly: "My lord, the brothers have brought the silver!"

"How many?" Tang Sanshui who was sitting there jumped up nervously.

"13,200 taels, plus the 5,000 taels sent earlier, the total is 18,200 taels!" When he said the number, Jia Da's eyes lit up, looking extremely refreshed.

so much?

So much money made Tang Sanshui stunned for a while, a little scared, but then he was greedy for profit, and he said to himself: Now that you have done it, what are you afraid of? Of course, the more money, the better!

After circling the three carriages, Tang San Guoruo ordered Jia Dao: "Send one of them back to the county office."

Hearing this, Jia Da was taken aback: "Why did you send it back just now?"

Tang Sanshui glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "It's not good for people who eat alone in this world. Well, everyone has a share, but no one has a share, understand?"

Jia Da suddenly realized, hehe smiled: "Beijing understands, and I will bring someone to send it!"

Tang Sanshui made an "en" sound, and then warned again, "Quietly, don't let people see you."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of this without knowing it!" Jia Da'er said without saying a word, and greeted the two soldiers to take advantage of the night to send a carriage back.

Standing there and thinking for a moment, Tang Sanshui raised his hand again to signal the soldiers under the city gate to come over, and said to them, "You take down two boxes and carry them back to share with the brothers."

"Thank you for the reward, Mr. Qian Zong!"

All the green battalion soldiers cheered and jumped up and down when they heard it. They rushed to the carriage and moved two big boxes down. Good guy, it's very heavy. I'm afraid it will be more than 2,000 taels. One person can be divided into more than a dozen taels. !

After arranging the soldiers to send the two boxes of silver away, Song Qian, another confidant of Tang Sanshui, came to ask for instructions: "Sir, will the five thousand taels also be sent to the Ming army?"

Tang Sanshui's eyes widened: "What are you sending! Find a few reliable people and take them to my house."

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded, "Hey!"

........

"A total of 118 prisoners in the prison were sent to your army, and more than 600 people were arrested in the city. Finally, everyone has been gathered!"

"More than 600 people arrested?"

Zhou Shixiang was a little surprised, Tang Sanshui was really bold enough to directly arrest the residents of Deqing to himself, wouldn't he be afraid that someone would sue him?

Seeing Zhou Shixiang's doubts, the visitor quickly explained: "Don't worry, General, the arrests are all from other places. The locals usually don't tolerate these foreigners. Seeing my family's adults dispatching troops to arrest them, it's too late to be happy. Injustice for them. Besides, my lord is a thief... oh, no, in the name of preventing the spies of your army from being arrested, so no one dares to make irresponsible remarks."

Zhou Shixiang smiled, he didn't care what Tang Sanshui did, as long as he got things done, he asked the person who came, "What about the silver?"

The visitor hesitated for a moment but said, "My lord asked me to ask the general, does the general want money, or food, or half?"

"Why, do you have a lot of food for Deqing Green Camp?"

"It's not too much, but a batch of military rations was just shipped from the house last month, and they were piled up for fear of mold..."

"You go and tell your lord, if he has food, I will take it, and I will not take advantage of him. It is based on the market price. In addition, if he can provide some weapons, the price can be negotiated."

"Okay, I'll go back to my life when I'm young!" Seeing that Zhou Shixiang was so good at talking, the visitor couldn't help but relax.

Zhou Shixiang signaled him not to leave in a hurry, and asked, "By the way, what about Lu Zhixian, why didn't he send someone to talk to this general?"

"This..." The visitor hesitated for a moment~www.novelbuddy.com~ was a little confused: "Master Lu has caught the cold and is not feeling well. In short, the general must understand the difficulties involved."

Zhou Shixiang smiled: "I understand, you can go back."

After the people left, Shao Jiugong rushed over with a few of his subordinates, and said, "Master Commander, I have touched everyone according to your instructions. Some of them may be useful."

"Which ones?"

"There is a man named Tie Yi, who shoots guns in the mine. According to him, he can bury medicine by himself."

Miners, buried medicine?

For some reason, these two keywords made Zhou Shixiang think of the Taiping Army in later generations. It seems that the main force of the Taiping Army had many miners in Guangxi, and Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, also seemed to be a miner.

Compared with ordinary people, miners have worked hard all year round under the conditions of life and death. , If some miners can join the Taiping Camp, it will undoubtedly be a great help to the growth of the Taiping Camp. Moreover, the miners will also bury gunpowder, and if they use it a little, they are the best engineers in this era.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shixiang was warm-hearted, and ordered Shao Jiugong: "Bring that Tie Yi here, I have something to ask him."

Shao Jiugong immediately asked someone to bring Tie Yi over, and while he was free, he shared with Zhou Shixiang how Tie Yi had done. Hearing that this man was avenging the deceased master, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but sigh. People are somewhat similar to themselves, but they are not as miserable as themselves.
