Chapter 274 Additional credit
Yan Huaiwen could hear his younger brother's insincere words.
God Bless has always made a lot of money, but this time it is a narrow victory. How could it not be grudges if it was obtained in a proper way.
"For the time being, let's follow the precedent for this matter, and wait for my brother to ask the details carefully before making a fuss."
Guanzhou is a poor place. Being an official here, no matter whether it is civil or military, cannot be said to be a breeze, and it is by no means a treacherous and greedy person.
If you value power and wealth, you will leave this place early, and there is no need to suffer here.
Besides, Mr. Arita temporarily borrowed supplies from the garrison but failed first. Yan Huaiwen also roughly knows what kind of person that Xue Zongqi is.
Clear inside and outside.
The soldiers under his command are his own, so he treats them favorably.
He is very stingy with the outside world.
"I listen to my brother."
Yan Lao Er seemed to have a backbone, and no longer entangled with the one or two more silver coins that a head would take less, but instead talked about the prices of Changping City and Guiyuan Town, and the fellow villagers who found Da'an Village in Gufeng City, and the village of Shenshui. thing.
He only mentioned Shenshui in passing, but didn't elaborate.
The focus of the narration is on the fellow villagers who fled from Qishan all the way to Guanzhou just like them.
Yan Huaiwen was able to grasp the key point, and in a few words, he noticed Tianyou's resistance to Uncle Li's.
"What did the siblings say?"
That is the natal family of the younger siblings, their brothers' opinions are not important, how to deal with it in the end depends on the attitude of the younger siblings.
"Ma'am..." Yan Laoer seemed to be hesitating and deliberating: "It seems that she was hurt by her uncle and aunt, and she told Xiaoer yesterday that she will stay away from that family's house in the future, and when she finds Xiaoer and her aunt in the future, Only two sisters move around."
Yan Huaiwen knew it in his heart.
Since Tianyou became better, the siblings have also changed a lot.
I think Tianyou didn’t do a good enough job in the past to reassure the younger siblings, or because her mother’s family was unreliable, she still couldn’t give up.
Now that the days are better, my thoughts are slowly turning around...
"If you have relatives who want to go there, you should set a time to go there and have a look. If life is inconvenient, try your best to help.
The situation on Huju's side has stabilized. According to the Elder Master, the ban on Huju City will be lifted in three or four days. Medicinal materials can also be reserved for personal use and disposed of separately. "
Yan's second son was really ecstatic.
"Brother? Do you really want to unblock? Great! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I am worried that you will spend the festival in Huju.
Our house will be ready soon, I will urge Master Lu and them to catch up with work, and hurry up, this is our first big festival in Guanzhou, we must pay attention to it, we must be lively... "
Yan Huaiwen smiled and listened to his thoughts on this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
Can't help but fall into memories.
Is the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival round this year? Is it bright?
His memory has been blurred and he can't remember.
I only remember that he and Heng'er were poor and had nowhere to rely on, and lived under a shed outside Qishan Prefecture.
It is not quite similar to the shed outside Huju City, but it is like the place where Tianyou said that Gufengcheng resettled the victims.
Air leaks from all sides.
In addition to being able to slightly block the scorching sun of the day.
There is no other use.
There are not only his father and son under the arbor, but also two or three families, which is very inconvenient.
It wasn't until he finally broke his so-called pride and found a job as a counting house that he finally had a place to stay.
Maintained the dignity of a scholar.
Compared with Guanzhou, the scholars in other big prefectures...really penniless!
At that time, they were still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones.
What kind of status, what kind of dignity, compared with this pain, it seems so insignificant.
Yan Huaiwen lowered his eyelids.
Everything is different.
He chose a different path, everything is getting better and better...
His millennium is still there.
His Henger is still there.
Tianyou, siblings, Xiao Er... are all there.
"By the way, big brother, can we keep the purses we found on Beirong's body? The officials in Yongning didn't even touch them. I met them in Gufeng, and I asked them casually. They said that as long as there is nothing with words on it, You can keep everything, not only the money on your body, but also their weapons, hehe!"
"Money bag?" Yan Huaiwen thought for a while and asked, "Did you bring it?"
"I've brought it." Yan Laoer got the baggage out of the car, and opened it layer by layer, revealing several rough money bags inside.
He checked every one of them.
Unfortunately, only three of the six people had money on them.
There are not many pieces of broken silver, but more copper plates.
I thought it was to disguise my identity. I was very thoughtful and didn't bring too much money.
It fits well with their Orion identity.
Yan Huaiwen looked over one by one.
Look very carefully.
When he looked up again, his complexion changed a little, and there was a little more...smile in his eyes.
"Yongning is still a prefectural city, why are the government officials so careless in inspections?"
Yan Er Er: "What do you mean? Brother, there is something wrong with this purse? What's hidden in it? No way! I've been turned inside out! It's just a few pieces of silver, and there's not even a tael of copper."
Yan Huaiwen turned one of the purses in his hands to look through them, grabbed a certain end of the thread hidden inside, and yanked hard.
The thread couldn't withstand his tugging, so it snapped off.
Yan Huaiwen removed a few lines in this way.
He didn't care about the broken silver and copper plates scattered on the ground.
Soon, the money bag was dismantled into two irregular rough cloths.
What stunned Yan Laoer was that between the two pieces of cloth, there was a very compact and neatly folded bank note!
"My God! This is... this is..."
The legendary silver ticket!
"Brother, let me take a look at it." His tone was a little eager.
It's the first time I've seen a bank note here.
He must look clearly and carefully.
Yan Huaiwen handed it to him, followed the same pattern, and separated the remaining two money bags.
Yan Lao Er excitedly unfolded the bank notes, and his movements were extremely gentle.
Thanks to his brother, to his wife, and to his great treasure!
Thank you for constantly urging him to study, and now he can proudly say that the most important words on this bank note: he-know-all!
"One hundred taels ah ah ah ah! That's too much, brother, it turned out to be a hundred taels. Are these Bei Rong so rich? They brought three money bags, so that's three hundred taels! My old man My God, I am rich now! I am rich!"
His eyes were shining, and he spoke incoherently.
It is especially like a lottery player who has bought lottery tickets for decades and suddenly won the jackpot! Jackpot! The kind that doesn't have to be shared equally with anyone.
Being hit by a huge sum of money, it is hard to control yourself!
Yan's second child feels hot all over now, and he has an urge to take off.
He still wants to run, he feels his blood is hot, and the airflow from the soles of his feet is rushing up, he wants to jump, he wants to run, he wants to run!
Yan Huaiwen shook off the other two.
One sheet is fifty taels.
The other one is two hundred taels.
He glanced at Tianyou, and silently put away the two hundred taels.
Yan’s second son is quick thinking and quick to react: “That’s one hundred taels for one piece, fifty taels for two pieces, no less, no less, two hundred taels! Two hundred taels for nothing!”
Yan Huaiwen couldn't help rubbing the center of his eyebrows, helplessly and funny: "God bless, these... must be handed over."
Yan's second son: Huh?
"Brother, what are you talking about? Hand it over? To whom? Why?" Yan Er Er was confused.
"Think about it, why did Bei Rong bring so many banknotes?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Poor families have rich roads, they go far away, don't they have to carry more money with them?" Yan Laoer said without thinking.
Yan Huaiwen laughed and shook his head: "You! These six people hid their identities and infiltrated into Guanzhou, and their plan is definitely not small. Here, they have no knowledge of personnel, and they can only do things conveniently by opening the way with money.
Or, they brought these silver bills for other purposes. "
Silver money has served one purpose since ancient times.
Buying and selling.
It can buy not only things, but also... people.
Yan Huaiwen has experienced a lot and thought a lot.
Guanzhou's border defense is a thorn in the side of the barbarians.
The border has been plagued by troubles for years, some have succeeded in surprise attacks, and some have returned in defeat.
Pay special attention to each other's movements.
As far as he knows, the border garrison has a special force to spy on the enemy's intelligence.
Conversely, Bei Rong will do the same, go deep into the hinterland, and learn more about the situation in Guanzhou.
Including but not limited to arming and deploying soldiers, personnel transfer, people's livelihood, etc.
In the eyes of those with a heart, no piece of information is useless, and it can eventually be summarized into information that is beneficial to one's own side and affect the battle situation.
These six people may be responsible for such tasks.
Sneak into Guanzhou and wait for the opportunity to inquire.
As he said, only when money opens the way can things be done conveniently...
How could Yan Erer not understand, he just couldn't be reconciled.
Okay, the people in our village fought **** battles, rewarded with little money and paid little, and even the proceeds from touching the corpse had to be handed over.
What a terrible word!
"The reason why I have to hand it over is because I don't know if other people are involved in this bank note.
Always find out where these banknotes come from. "
Yan Huaiwen patiently explained to his brother.
Yan's second son bowed his head sadly and said: "I know, the bank notes are also things with words, we can't keep them." He was so happy that he was crazy, so he didn't think of this.
"The bills are obtained only by depositing silver into the store. The bank notes in Guanzhou are only circulated in the nearby big prefectures, Xizhou, Leshan and Linhai.
Among them, Linhai doesn't like to use it, but Xizhou Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture can exchange it. Then tell me, who keeps this bank note? In which bank deposit? Is there anyone in between? "
"Can it be seen on this bank note? Where is it written?" Yan Laoer's eyes were almost glued to it, but he didn't see anything tricky.
Yan Huaiwen smiled and said: "We can't see it, but someone can."
"Who is it?"
"The bank where the bank notes are deposited and withdrawn." Yan Huaiwen said firmly: "They have the means, and they are used to marking it. If they really want to investigate, they can find out a lot of things."
Yan’s second child: …
"Doesn't that mean that they can control every sum of money deposited in the silver shop? That's too... that's what!"
If you want to hide some money in the future, can you pretend to be poor?
Go to the silver shop and check, all the truth is revealed?
"These tricks are secretive, they won't use them easily, and naturally they won't let people know easily."
Yan Er Er: "Then can we find out?"
He was confused.
"It just depends on whether the King of England pays attention to it."
"Why is it about King Ying?" Yan's second son asked in surprise.
"This silver shop is located in Guanzhou, there must be some background behind it." And this background is mostly related to the King of England.
"If the lord wants to investigate, it's very simple. If this matter is suppressed and no one pays attention to it, it will naturally be left alone." Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan's second child stared deeply at the bank note, with two eyes, one was written: yes, the other was written: pity.
"For us, there is another benefit in finding these bank notes..." Yan Huaiwen made a fool of himself.
Yan's second child was immediately aroused, and hurriedly asked: "What's the benefit?"
"The silver rewards in the village will not only be distributed in full, but also some extra rewards will be given." Yan Huaiwen smiled implicitly, but felt determined to win.
Yan Laoer understood in seconds.
They have made meritorious service again!
Moreover, the contribution made this time is different from last time, and the income is too great! Just ask, how can you have the nerve to withhold their original rewards?
ah? Excuse me?
Earn hundreds of taels of income! Why don't you come up with some rewards to reward them for being happy?
Must be sorry!
Thinking about it this way, Yan's second mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and the sun was shining brightly.
It's shining again.
But mentioning silver... He looked around mischievously, walked a little further, and waved to his brother again.
Yan Huaiwen: …
Follow slowly.
"Brother, there is one more important matter, I have to learn from you." Yan Laoer said mysteriously.
Yan Huaiwen nodded to him, gesturing for him to say.
Yan Er Er swallowed her saliva, lowered her voice and said: "Brother, Xiaoer and I met the wedding boat in Changping, which was sent by the Crown Princess. You know, the Crown Princess, she is the King of England's daughter-in-law.
Don’t mention the ten miles of red makeup. It’s been half a day since the first one, and there’s still a long way to go behind. We’re all dazzled by the red box.
The price of goods in Changping is too high. We are in a hurry to go to Guiyuan County in Linhai Prefecture. Guess what, someone came over and refused to let us go. We waited for a long time before letting us go. Xiaoer and I paddled hard. Who knew that we saw ..."
Yan Huaiwen didn't urge him, but just listened to him quietly.
His eyes are soft and warm.
Yan Er Er paused, then looked around again.
Yan Huaiwen saw his nervousness, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I've already checked, and there is no one around."
"Hmm!" Yan Laoer looked serious: "Brother, Xiaoer and I saw the boat leaving alone throwing boxes into the river, and then a few people went down with chains. When they come up again, yes Empty hands, the iron chain is gone."
This is what Yan Laoer and Yan Yu discussed.
To hide the fact that they already know what's in the box.
For added believability, it’s all about — seeing it with your own eyes.
Yan Huaiwen's expression remained unchanged.
The British Palace is not monolithic, he knew it very early on.
There is only one possibility for not having any impression of this matter.
This matter was covered up and unknown to outsiders.
"You said, you and Xiaoer have seen those people rummaging through boxes from a distance?"
Yan Er Er: "I see, many people are busy, walking around, although they can't see what it is, but they are really tossing, moving from this box to that box."
Yan Huaiwen asked again: "How was the weather at that time?"
"Probably just after the application time." Yan Lao Er replied after thinking about it.
