Chapter 34: Dividing money
In less than an hour, everyone had quickly returned to the county government.
Wang Han helped Zhou Ze get out of the car. Zhou Ze gave Wang Han a color. He quickly carried the bag and took the other two people to walk directly behind, with his movements flowing.
The people from the second team stayed in the class yard, and the remaining people of the first team were guarding Jieshifang. Zhou Ze and the few people went directly to the hall next to the lobby.
Liu Yushan was already in a state of suffocation. He looked at Zhou Ze, Wang Han and the other three, and asked in a hurry.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zhou Ze raised his hand and told him to be calm.
"Let's talk about the clues later. We did find some evidence, but we searched for something more important. You open the things and show them to County Chief Liu."
Wang Han and the other two put the bag on the table.
There was a clang and the sound of metal collide inside continued, and even this part was very heavy.
Liu Yushan looked confused, not knowing what Zhou Ze meant, but what he discovered was more important than clues.
Zhou Ze reached out and pulled the bag, and the gold, silver and gems were all revealed. There were many large gold, silver and silver ingots, and there were also many broken silver, pearls, hairpins, and gems, all kinds of them were available.
Liu Yushan was stunned and quickly covered his bag with his skin, his lips trembling nervously.
"Mingfu, you guys... where did you do this? Could it be a tomb robber?"
Zhou Ze couldn't help but laughed and kicked Liu Yushan.
"Where is such a rich tomb burial? Tell me? This is not a robbery. At that time, we were looking for clues on the mountain. My cat found a cave and led us over.
I guess this is the cave of the weird. After all, there are records in ancient books that some mandrills like shining things, but mandrills are very thin and afraid of people, and will not take the initiative to attack humans."
Liu Yushan looked at Zhou Ze, and he guessed something about what this sentence meant.
"Mingfu means that the death of his ex-girlfriend Liu Mingfu is not a monster hurting people?"
Zhou Ze nodded.
"This is just my opinion. I talked about the clues after a while. You can collect the gold and silver first, count it, and distribute part of it to the people in the county government."
Liu Yushan waved his hand quickly, looking panic-looking, and was so scary that he had never seen so many gold, silver and jewelry in his life.
“Too many…”
Zhou Ze smiled angrily. This guy is so stubborn that he really wants to make the point.
"I didn't say it all, I remember that there is annotation in the official article. The annual salary of the ninth rank is 25 taels. Today, we will refer to this standard. There is no official position. They are all distributed according to ten taels of silver per person.
Remember, at this moment, the people in the county government are the same. There are no ones who are not here, those who are taking leave, and those who are publicly paid. Of course, whoever says it, get the money back quickly. There is no way for those who are not here. For safety reasons, let them wait until their salary is here before they are paid."
Liu Yushan nodded. What he was most worried about was how Xue Ping dealt with. The man had a close relationship with Luzhou, and he knew that he might tell him early.
Since Zhou Ze said that he would only pay for those on duty, he obviously found some problems.
I glanced at the gold and silver in the bag again, and the trembling body improved a little.
"Okay, I'll count it with Zhuzhu Cui now, and then distribute it to everyone. Wang Han will call someone."
Wang Han was so sizzling that he couldn't even close his mouth.
This was a pie that fell from the sky. I didn’t say that the gold and silver were found. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate was not greedy and actually gave them money. This was the first time to create a world of worldly affairs. Besides, ten taels of silver were basically his annual salary, so it would be strange if he was not happy.
"Okay, I'll call Zhubu Cui now."
Wang Han took the two of them out. He knew that Zhou Ze was going to talk to Liu Yushan, so he naturally couldn't be inside.
Liu Yushan flipped over, picked up the gem and took a look, and then put it down.
"As for these gem pearls, I don't know the specific value, how to deal with this?"
Zhou Ze thought about it.
"There is no hurry. Then arrange a reliable person to find a shopkeeper who makes jewelry. I think it is a bit higher than selling a pawnshop. If everything is exchanged for silver, we have to think about how to make money. After all, Hejiang County is too poor."
Liu Yushan kept muttering Zhou Ze's words, slapped his thigh and felt extremely emotional.
"Money makes money, money makes money. Mingfu is right. Hejiang is too poor and has a scarce land. Although the three rivers converge here, few merchants come here. After all, it is the border, and there are no ships passing by on the Baisha River on the south side.
The Baisha Castle defenders by the Baisha River support a lot of people and often come to search for them. The people here are suffering, and even the county government cannot escape."
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the qualified White Sand Castle was the defender here, so I really don’t know about this.
"White Sand Castle? Are the defenders here under the jurisdiction of Luzhou?"
Liu Yushan shook his head.
"Along the Baisha River, there are fourteen forts responsible for resisting the attacks of the Western Zhou Dynasty. They are under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan Army led by King Yong. However, these layers of divisions have been divided. When we get to the bottom, the military supplies have been peeled off a few layers, so I don't need to say more.
I have been to Baisha Castle. Like our county government, the fortifications have been disrepaired for so long, some of which have collapsed, and there are far fewer people than the list. The soldiers are thin and thin, I really don’t know how many people they can resist when they fight."
At this moment, the door opened and Zhuzhu Cui walked in quickly.
After bowing to Zhou Ze, he gave Liu Yushan a blank look, and it was good to see that the two had a personal relationship.
"Mr. Liu was inspired by his feelings, and he was just venting bitterness with the Ming Mansion. Why don't you dare to say this to the person from Luzhou or the King of Yong?"
Liu Yushan shut up. Actually, this was what Zhou Ze wanted to know. It was said that Hejiang was the border, but I really didn't know how close it was to the border.
However, there are many problems in managing the White Sand Castle in this way, and Zhou Ze looked worried.
"Don't exchange the money for it, don't put it on the account. Originally, these were not obtained from the county government."
Liu Yushan didn't understand, Cui Wenbin quickly said:
"These were discovered by the Mingfu and should be under the jurisdiction of the Mingfu..."
Zhou Ze raised his hand and stopped Cui Wenbin's words. He was indeed greedy for money, but it would be better to keep the things on the surface. After all, he didn't leave in Hejiang for a day or two. It is not a solution to govern the place, and it is still so barren.
"No, I said that Hejiang must be managed well and cannot be so barren."
Liu Yushan looked moved and bowed to Zhou Ze seriously, and the excitement on his face was uncontrollable.
"The Ming Mansion is righteous."
Zhou Ze waved his hand.
"This matter is decided. You two will count all the crop categories, outputs, and skills you are good at. We will discuss future development later. It is already winter now, so it is suitable to do this."
Liu Yushan nodded quickly, as if nothing unexpected happened.
"This subordinate has detailed statistics here, so I'll get it now."
Zhou Ze smiled. Not to mention that this county magistrate is not bad, he still has a lot of hills and valleys in his heart.
"Then I'll bother Liu County Chief."
Liu Yushan didn't say much, so he hurried to get the things.
Zhou Ze suddenly remembered that before leaving, Xu Gongzhu said that Hejiang had four county magistrates in the past two years, and they didn't know the reason for it. Anyway, he was not clear about his death, but Liu An knew the cause of his death, and he really didn't know the others.
He looked up at Cui Wenbin. This man was quite smooth, but today he threw out his olive branch and he also showed closeness and just asked.
"Before I came to take office, I heard from the bad general of Chang'an City that within two years of Hejiang, four county magistrates died in office. Liu An knew about it. Could it be that the others were also because of the weird things?"
Cui Wenbin was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhou Ze to ask this. After pondering for a moment, he sighed:
"To be honest, the three county magistrates before offended King Yong. After all, this white sand castle is on the south side of the Hejiang River. Starting two years ago, most of the military supplies every year come from Hejiang River, and Hejiang River is not enough to make ends meet.
The tax burden of the people is worrying, but there is still a place where King Yong is...ah...even if he dies, he will be put into various reasons, and no one in Luzhou has to ask about it."
Cui Wenbin didn't say it directly, but his meaning was clearly expressed. Zhou Ze was a little stunned, but he didn't expect it was the reason.
“When is it offered every year?”
"End of the year."
Zhou Ze glanced at the things on the table and felt scared. It seemed that he could handle it this year, but this was not a solution.
"Why did the court allocate money from Hejiang? And is it under the jurisdiction of Zhennan Army?"
