Chapter 73 Tranquility and equanimity

Work has stopped.

This is a situation that no one wants to see, but it has happened so firmly in the current Baochao Lifting Department. A large number of craftsmen suddenly began to be dissatisfied with the court's arrangements, although this merger was personally ordered by the emperor.

of the imperial edict.

Outside the crowd, Wang Siqi watched this scene coldly.

In just a few minutes, he had already seen several people among the crowd of craftsmen who were constantly stirring up the atmosphere and adding fuel to the flames.

There must be someone behind this incident.

But who could it be?

Xu Min?

Or is it someone else in the court? Who would take advantage of such an opportunity to cause trouble? Feng Zongwu also frowned, and Wang Siqi knew that he had noticed it too.

"Did you see it?"

"Sir, I can see...there is something fishy here."

"yes..."

"How about I go to the Baoyuan Bureau now and bring more people over to see if I can find out those who have ulterior motives?"

Hearing Feng Zongwu's words, Wang Siqi did not speak. After a while, he said: "Since someone wants to cause chaos in the Baochao Tribunal, we have to find a way, but it doesn't work out as he wants."

"Starting today, the Baoyuan Bureau will take over the entire Baobao Banking Department!"

"Stop production, stop production! I, Wang Siqi, will be responsible for killing or beheading me. If someone has ulterior motives, there will naturally be ways to find them... But if these craftsmen are really just stone-hearted, then I, Wang Siqi, will be responsible for it."

Come for a visit!”

"Yes..Sir, I understand."

I originally wanted to come to the Baobao Banking Department to see if there was any solution to the printing problem, but unexpectedly I encountered such a scene.

This made Wang Siqi somewhat depressed.

Back in the Baoyuan Bureau, Wang Siqi looked at his right-hand men, Feng Zongwu and Wang Yihuan, and suddenly Wang Siqi suddenly said, "What has the former Zhao Beinian been doing recently?"

Zhao Beinian, the son of Zhao You, magistrate of Lishui County.

After Wang Siqi rescued him from his father at the riverside poetry party before, he took him under his command and served as an official in Baoyuan Bureau.

"Uh... Sir, Zhao Beinian hasn't come yet..."

"not coming?"

I have been busy recently and have not been able to take care of Zhao Beinian.

This person just disappeared?

Wang Siqi shook his head and said: "If we keep looking, if it doesn't work, tell the officials truthfully, if this person is really hopeless, I can't do anything."

...

After returning from the Baobao Lifting Department, Wang Siqi immediately began to arrange the arrangements.

The first step is to be still.

In the workshop of the Baochao Lifting Department, a large number of craftsmen were competing with the clerks of the Baoyuan Bureau, confronting each other like a dagger at war.

But in the next second, the clerk from the Baoyuan Bureau who hurried over said something in another person's ear, then gave the craftsmen present a meaningful look and left.

The little official who was originally facing a confrontation could not see much change in expression on his face.

But I only heard him say regretfully: "Today I will no longer argue with you. A bank will bring the money in a while... Not only the monthly money I owed you all before, but also Mr. Wang from Baoyuan Bureau."

Give everyone an extra month of monthly payment.”

"Of course... the standards are still in accordance with the standards of the previous household craftsmen."

Hearing what the clerk said, although the craftsman at the head of the crowd felt something was wrong, he still frowned and said: "It would have been better if it had been like this... These days, everyone is not living a tight life, and Baoyuan Bureau is also the imperial court.

..No monthly payment!”

"It's just that... Baoyuan Bureau is such a wealthy place, but it still lacks three melons and two dates like us! But let me tell you... since it is going to be merged, then the craftsmen should be treated equally!"

"Yes! We will take as much silver as the craftsmen of Baoyuan Bureau get!"

In the crowd, after these last words rang out suddenly.

There are already many people.

There is already an emotion called greed revealed in his eyes.

After all, in their opinion, the Baoyuan Bureau was not as good as the Baochao Prosecution Department before... I heard that the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau was just a young man, so they did not mention the Baoyuan Bureau at all in their words and deeds.

Keep it in mind.

The clerk heard this.

Shaking his head, he continued: "Let's wait."

The money has not arrived.

Nothing you say is in vain.

But after hearing that he could take back the previous monthly money, Liu Dewang in the crowd was obviously in a good mood, "I will buy more food on the way home later, and buy half a catty of wine, and have a good meal when I go home."

.I just don’t know if the extra month’s payment is true or not. It would be great if it were true.”

"Look at your unpromising look... Just think about the kind of life the craftsmen of Baoyuan Bureau live. Even the landlords in the countryside probably don't have such a good life. They have fish and meat every day.

There’s nothing wrong with it...you don’t have to pay to eat in the workshop.”

The other person heard Liu Dewang's words and immediately retorted, but his expression was filled with yearning for the craftsmen of Baoyuan Bureau.

"I'm afraid we won't have such luck in this life!"

"Oh! I just hope these officials can really give us the monthly money. From now on, as long as the monthly money can be paid on time, I will work honestly."

"Who says it's not... I don't know what's going on, the workshop just stopped working."

As they talked, the crowd gradually became quiet without realizing it, and everyone's faces were filled with nothing but waiting.

...

The second step is to give up.

The horses pulling the cart neighed, and the carriage loaded with a large amount of copper coins and scattered silver slowly stopped outside the workshop door. The heavy carriage sank a little with its wheels, which proved that the carriage was carrying a lot of money.

What a huge fortune.

The craftsmen saw the carriage at a glance.

Someone immediately cheered: "The money has arrived! The money has arrived! The master of Baoyuan Bureau did not break his promise and will give it to us right away!"

"Let's go up together! This money belongs to us. We have to find ways to get it. If we don't get it, it won't count!"

"Yes! To strike first is to be stronger."

Seeing that everyone was about to get angry, a large group of fierce-looking servants rushed out. They were dressed in fine cloth short shirts and each held a long stick. At first glance, they were not easy to deal with.

Wang Siqi slowly walked out from the crowd.

The craftsman who just talked to him recognized Wang Siqi at a glance, but did not speak. Wang Siqi looked at everyone and slowly said: "I have brought all the money, and I will definitely give it to you today.

.It can be said that I will never take another penny away."

"But before that, I have a condition."

"After all, I have to give you one more month's monthly payment. Not to mention that I am the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau these days. According to the principle of whoever gives the money has the final say, you should also listen to what I have to say.

"

Supervised by Baoyuan Bureau?

This young man in front of me?
