However, Yan Huaiwen heard that his brother's words were not sincere.
Tianyou has always valued wealth, and this time he won a narrow victory. He got it in a right way, so how could he not feel resentful about it?
"This matter will be based on Huju's precedent for the time being. I will wait for my brother to inquire about the details and then discuss it further."
Guanzhou is a poor place, but as an official here, whether it is civil or military, it cannot be said that he has a clean mind, and he is definitely not a treacherous or corrupt person.
If you value power and wealth, you will leave this place long ago and there is no need to suffer here.
Moreover, Mr. Tian had failed to temporarily borrow supplies from the garrison, and Yan Huaiwen also had a rough idea of what Mr. Xue was like.
The inside and outside are distinct.
The soldiers under his command are his own, so they should be treated kindly.
He is very stingy externally.
"I listen to big brother."
Yan Laoer seemed to have a backbone, no longer worrying about the one or two silver coins for a small head, and instead talked about Changping City, the prices in Guiyuan Town, and finding fellow villagers from Da'an Village in Gufeng City, and the Shenshui River.
thing.
He only mentioned the divine water in passing and did not go into details.
The focus of the story is on the fellow villagers who, like them, fled from Qishan all the way to Guanzhou.
Yan Huaiwen was able to grasp the key point very well. In just a few words, he noticed Tianyou's resistance to Uncle Li's uncle.
"What do my siblings say?"
That is the natal family of the younger siblings. Their brother's opinions are not important. How to deal with it in the end depends on the attitude of the younger siblings.
"Madam..." Yan Laoer seemed to hesitate and think about it: "It seems that she was hurt by her uncle and aunt. Yesterday, she told the waiter that she would stay away from that family's house until she could find the waiter and her aunt in the future.
, only two sisters walking around."
Yan Huaiwen had an idea in his mind.
Since Tianyou became better, my siblings have also changed a lot.
I think Tianyou didn't do a good enough job in the past to make his siblings feel at ease. It's because his parents' family is unreliable and he still can't give up.
Now that life is getting better, my thoughts are slowly changing...
"If you have relatives who want to go there, you can set a time to go there and take a look. If there is any inconvenience in your life, try your best to help.
The situation here in Huju has stabilized. Depending on what the lord wants, the blockade of Huju City will be lifted in three or four days. By then, the transportation routes will be smooth, and my brother will no longer have to travel all over the place to pick the fruits in the village.
Medicinal materials can also be kept for personal use and disposed of separately.”
Yan Laoer was really overjoyed.
"Brother? Are we really going to lift the lockdown? Great! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I was worried that you would have to celebrate the festival in Huju.
Our house is ready now. I will urge Master Lu and the others to hurry up and work faster. This is our first big festival in Guanzhou, so we need to pay attention to it. We have to liven it up...
…”
Yan Huaiwen listened to his thoughts about this year's Mid-Autumn Festival with a smile.
I can't help but fall into memories.
Is the moon of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival round? Is it bright?
His memory was blurred and he couldn't remember anything.
I only remember that he and Heng'er were poor and had no one to rely on, so they lived under a pavilion outside Qishan Mansion City.
It's not very similar to the shed that currently stands outside the city, but it looks like the place where Tianyou said Gufeng City resettled the victims.
Air leakage from all sides.
In addition to being able to block the scorching sun during the day.
It has no other use.
There were not only his father and son, but also two or three families under the pergola, which was very inconvenient.
It wasn't until he finally broke his so-called pride and found a job as a bookkeeper that he had a place to stay.
Maintained the dignity of a scholar.
Compared with Guanzhou, the scholars in other big houses...are really penniless!
At that time, they were still immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones.
What status and dignity are so insignificant compared to this pain.
Yan Huaiwen lowered his eyelids.
Everything is different.
He chose a different path, and everything is getting better and better...
His Qianchu is still there.
His love is still there.
Tianyou, my younger siblings, my waiter... are all here.
"By the way, brother, can we keep those money bags found on Beirong? The official officials in Yongning have not touched them. I met them in Gufeng and asked casually. They said that as long as there are no words on them,
You can keep everything, not only the money on you, but also their weapons, hehe!"
"Money bag?" Yan Huaiwen thought for a moment and asked, "Did you bring it?"
"Bring it with you." Yan Laoer took the baggage from the car and opened it layer by layer, revealing several rough-made money bags inside.
He checked every one of them.
Unfortunately, only three of the six people had money with them.
There are only a few broken pieces of silver, but more copper plates.
I thought it was to disguise my identity, I was very thoughtful and didn't bring much money.
It fits the identity of the hunters they play.
Yan Huaiwen looked at them one by one.
Look very carefully.
When he looked up again, his expression had changed somewhat, and there was a bit more...smile in his eyes.
"Yongning is still a prefectural city, so why are the government officials so careless in checking it?"
Yan Laoer: "What do you mean? There's something wrong with my wallet? What's hidden in it? No way! I'm turned inside out! It's just a few broken pieces of silver and not even a tael of copper plates."
Yan Huaiwen turned one of the money bags around in his hand, looked through it, grabbed a thread hidden inside, and pulled hard.
The thread couldn't withstand his tugging and was suddenly broken.
Yan Huaiwen removed several threads in this way.
He didn't care about the broken silver and copper plates scattered on the ground.
Soon, he tore the money bag into two irregular pieces of coarse cloth.
What stunned Yan Laoer was that between the two pieces of cloth, there was a very compact and neatly folded banknote!
"Oh my God! This is...this is..."
Beirong actually had a banknote on him!
"Brother, let me see it quickly." His tone was a bit urgent.
If it is hidden so secretly, the number must not be small.
He had to take a closer look.
Yan Huaiwen handed it to him and followed the same pattern, splitting the remaining two money bags.
Yan Laoer was so excited that he unfolded the banknotes with extremely gentle movements.
Thanks to his brother, thanks to his wife, thanks to his Dabao!
Thank you everyone for always urging him to study. Now he can proudly say that he knows all of the most important words on this bank note!
"A hundred taels! This is too much. Brother, it's actually a hundred taels. Are these Beirong people so rich? They brought three money bags, so that's three hundred taels! My old man
God, I’m getting rich now! I’m getting rich now!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! His eyes were shining and his words were incoherent.
Especially like a lottery player who has been buying lottery tickets for decades regardless of rain or shine, and suddenly wins a big prize! The jackpot! And he doesn’t have to split it equally with anyone.
Being hit hard by a huge sum of money, it’s hard to control yourself!
Yan Laoer felt hot all over his body now, and he had the urge to take off his clothes.
He still wanted to run. He felt that his blood was hot, and the air flow from nowhere on the soles of his feet was rushing upwards. He wanted to jump, jump, and run!
Yan Huaiwen shook aside the other two.
One piece is fifty taels.
The other one is two hundred taels.
He glanced at Tianyou and silently put away the two hundred taels.
He coughed lightly and said slowly: "This one is fifty taels."
Yan Laoer is now thinking quickly and reacting very quickly: "That's one hundred taels, two fifty taels, no less, no less, two hundred taels! Two hundred taels picked for nothing!"
Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, helpless and funny: "God bless, these... must be handed over."
Yan Laoer: Huh?
"Brother, what did you say? Hand it over? Give it to whom? Why?" Yan Laoer was confused.
"Think about it, why did Beirong bring so many banknotes?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Poor people are rich. They travel far away. Why don't they 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 sneaked into Guanzhou, and they must have a big plan. Here, they have no access to people, and they can only use money to open a way to facilitate their actions.
Or maybe they brought these banknotes for other purposes."
Silver has had the same function since ancient times.
Buy and sell.
It can not only buy things, but also... people.
Yan Huaiwen has experienced a lot and thinks a lot.
Guanzhou's border defense was a thorn in the flesh of the barbarians.
The border has been in turmoil for years, some have succeeded in surprise attacks, and some have returned in defeat. You come and I go, and the two sides have long been in the same situation.
They also pay special attention to each other's movements.
As far as he knew, the border garrison had a special force to spy on the enemy's whereabouts.
On the contrary, Beirong will also do this, going deep into the hinterland to learn more about Guanzhou.
Including but not limited to deployment of defense and troops, personnel transfer, people's livelihood, etc.
In the eyes of a caring person, 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 situation of the war.
These six people may be responsible for such tasks.
Sneak into Guanzhou and wait for opportunities to investigate.
As he said, only when money opens the way can things be done conveniently...
How could Yan Laoer not understand? He just wasn't willing to give in.
Well, the people in our village fought bloody battles and were given little silver reward. Even the proceeds from touching corpses had to be handed over.
What a big, tragic word!
"The reason why I want to hand it over is because I don't know if other people are involved in this banknote.
We must find out where these banknotes come from."
Yan Huaiwen patiently explained to his brother.
Yan Laoer lowered his head sadly and said, "I know, bank notes are also things with words on them, so we can't keep them." He was so happy that he didn't think of this.
"You can only get this bill by depositing money into the shop. Guanzhou's banknotes are only circulated in several nearby major prefectures, Xizhou Prefecture, Leshan Prefecture and Linhai Prefecture.
Among them, Linhai doesn't like to use it. Only Xizhou Prefecture and Leshan Prefecture can exchange it. So tell me, who deposited this banknote? Which bank deposited it at? Is there anyone else who handled it? "
"Can it be seen on this banknote? Where is it written?" Yan Laoer's eyes almost closed, but he couldn't see anything fishy.
Yan Huaiwen smiled and said: "We can't see it, but some people can."
"Who?"
"This is the bank where banknotes are deposited and exchanged." Yan Huaiwen said firmly: "They have the skills and are used to marking it. If they really want to investigate, they can find out a lot of things."
Yan Laoer:......
"Doesn't that mean that they can control every money deposited in the bank? That's too...that's not true!"
In the future, if you want to hide money, you won’t be able to pretend to be poor?
Go to the bank to check and find out everything?
"They do this in a secret way. They won't use it easily, and naturally they won't let people know about it easily."
Yan Laoer: "Can we find out?"
He was confused.
"It just depends on whether the King of England takes it seriously."
"Why does it have to do with the King of England?" Yan Laoer asked in surprise.
"This bank opened in Guanzhou, so there must be some background behind it." And this background is probably related to the King of England.
"If the prince wants to investigate, it can be simple. If this matter is suppressed below and no one pays attention to it, it will naturally be left alone." Yan Huaiwen said.
Yan Laoer stared deeply at the banknote, with two eyes, one said: Yes, and the other said: Cherish.
"For us, finding these banknotes is another benefit..." Yan Huaiwen gave up.
Yan Laoer was immediately intrigued and asked hurriedly: "What's the benefit?"
"Not only will the silver reward in the village be paid out in full, but there will also be some additional rewards." Yan Huaiwen smiled implicitly, but he felt determined to win.
Yan Laoer understood it instantly.
This is considered a meritorious service for them!
Moreover, the achievements this time were different from last time. The income was too huge! I wonder why they had the nerve to deduct their original reward?
Ah? Are you sorry?
The income is a few hundred taels! Why don’t they feel sorry for themselves if they don’t come up with some rewards?
You must feel sorry for yourself!
Thinking of this, Yan Laoer's mood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and the sun shone brightly.
It's brilliant again.
But when it came to money... He looked around with a stern look, walked further away, and waved to his brother.
Yan Huaiwen:......
Follow up slowly.
"Brother, there is one more important thing that I have to learn from you." Yan Laoer said mysteriously.
Yan Huaiwen nodded to him and signaled him to say.
Yan Laoer swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice: "Brother, Xiaoer and I met the wedding boat of the Crown Princess in Changping. As you know, the Crown Princess is the daughter-in-law of the King of England.
Not to mention Shili Hongzhuang, it was half a day after the first one, and there was a long group of people behind it, which dazzled us all. The red box made me happy just looking at it.
Prices in Changping were too high. We were 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 we were allowed to go. The waiter and I rowed hard, and who knew we actually saw
…”
Yan Huaiwen did not urge him, and just listened to him quietly.
His eyes are soft and warm.
Yan Laoer paused and looked around again.
Yan Huaiwen saw his nervousness and said with relief: "Don't worry, I've seen it and there's no one around."
"Well!" Yan Laoer said with a serious face: "Brother, the waiter and I saw the boat leaving alone throwing boxes into the river, and then a few people got off and brought iron ropes with them. When they came up again, it was
My hands are empty, and the iron rope is gone."
This is what Yan Laoer and Yan Yu agreed upon.
To hide the fact that they already knew what was in the box.
To increase credibility, attribute everything to what you saw with your own eyes.
Yan Huaiwen's expression did not change.
The British Prince's Palace is not monolithic, he has known that for a long time.
There is only one possibility why I have no impression of this matter.
This matter was covered up and unknown to outsiders.
"You said that you and the waiter once saw those people rummaging through boxes from a distance?"
Yan Laoer: "See, there are many people busy and walking around. Although they can't see clearly what they are, they are really struggling, moving from this box to that box."
Yan Huaiwen asked again: "How was the weather at that time?"
"It was probably just after Shenshi." Yan Laoer thought about it and replied.
