Xu Nianmin symbolically wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes and continued: "Although the effect of suppressing the bandits is not great, since Mr. Lin said it, I will definitely give him this face! I will arrange it later.
Send government troops to attack Xiaoyangshan!"
"It's just that... Sir, I must have heard this saying: before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first!"
"Wars cost money!"
"As I said just now, in order to suppress the bandits, our county government's treasury has been almost emptied! We really can't get the money to suppress the bandits!"
Speaking of this, Xu Nianmin glanced at Lin Xu, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth: "I heard that Mr. Lin is a great talent. Not only is he superb in medical skills, he is also very knowledgeable in textiles. He even opened a shop in Linshan Village.
The textile factory has hired a lot of people and is very prosperous, making a lot of money every month!"
"Since this round of bandit suppression was proposed by your husband, I would like to ask you to give me more help in terms of food and fodder!"
After hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile.
Because, before coming here, he had already thought that as long as he proposed to suppress the bandits, Xu Nianmin would definitely agree, because he had no reason to refuse!
At the same time, Xu Nianmin will definitely ask for money from himself!
What is Xu Nianmin's purpose of "raising bandits"? He is not a military general, so he will not worry about "the bird is gone and the bow is hidden", so naturally he just takes advantage of the opportunity to suppress the bandits to make a lot of money!
Now that I have offered him the opportunity, how could he let it go?
Without any hesitation, Lin Xu immediately took out a banknote and put it on the table. He said thoughtfully: "I have long heard that Mr. Xu hates evil as much as his enemies and loves his people as his own children! After listening to Mr. Xu's heartfelt words just now, I had to sigh. Sure enough,
The rumors are true!"
"As a citizen of Jiangling County, we naturally have to contribute money and strength to fully support Mr. Xu in suppressing the bandits!"
"Master Xu, please don't refuse this banknote!"
Xu Nianmin smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, thank you for the award! Suppressing the bandits is related to the well-being of the people. It is my duty as the county magistrate!"
While talking, he picked up the banknote.
When he saw the number on the banknote clearly, he immediately cried out: "One...one hundred taels?!"
Just now I saw Lin Xu speaking so righteously, about "if you have money, give money, and when you have strength," and about "fully supporting the suppression of bandits," I thought that Lin Xu would have to give out at least a thousand taels of silver, but in the end he only gave out
One hundred taels!
How funny?!
"Although it's a lot of money, I have absolutely no other intentions. I just want to fully support Mr. Liu in suppressing the bandits. Please don't refuse, Mr. Liu!"
Lin Xu clasped his hands in his fists, looking like he valued justice over wealth!
Xu Nianmin was about to laugh out loud. Who thinks you take too much money? I think you take out too little money, okay?!
If it were an ordinary person, since Lin Xu had said so, he might be embarrassed to say anything else. After all, donating money is voluntary and cannot be forced.
However, Xu Nianmin can even figure out how to make money by raising bandits, so he is certainly not an ordinary person!
Sighing, Xu Nianmin said: "As far as I know, Xiaoyang Mountain is not only steep and difficult to defend, but it is also home to nearly two hundred bandits! Generally speaking, if you want to go up the mountain to suppress bandits, you must at least have
More than five times the strength!"
"Calculated this way, at least a thousand troops must be dispatched!" This chapter has been completed!
