What? Jiang Yang stared, this was the only money he had.
Not only should it be used to pay the people for providing evidence, but it should also be used as capital to make a fortune.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a wise woman to make a living without rice, and it is difficult to make a living without money.
"Tell me in detail!"
Under Jiang Yang's questioning, Li You slowly said.
Let’s talk about the arrangements for the victims first. In the afternoon, they encouraged the victims to clean up their surroundings and dig out cesspits. They returned after giving porridge in the evening.
But when they returned to the county government office, they saw Wang Jianchuan running out with the money in his arms. They tried to stop them but were scolded by Wang Jianchuan.
He said that this was the salary money owed to him by the county government. At present, the people in his family were unable to live without firewood, rice, oil and salt. Since ancient times, people had killed people to pay for their lives and debts to pay back money. He came to take the money that belonged to him.
After saying that, he left.
Jiang Yang's fists were naturally clenched. He understood that he was the one who made this matter so embarrassing, and it was naturally unreasonable for the dignified county government to default on salary arrears.
At the same time, he also understood that this was revenge for his behavior of using money to collect evidence among the people, and it was a method from the noble gentry.
After calming down, Jiang Yang tapped his fingers. The top priority was to get a sum of money. Only with money could he solve all the current problems.
If they were rich, how could such a large labor force in the county government allow them to do nothing all day long? If they were rich, wouldn't it be easy for the people to collect evidence?
Furthermore, if this rich gentry family had money, there would be ten thousand ways to kill them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yang suddenly grinned, there is a way!
Not just money?
While Jiang Yang was thinking, he heard two brothers from the Ma family walking forward and saying, "Brother, we have brought back a cart of bran. I don't know what brother has planned."
Jiang Yang waved his hand. Originally, he planned to use bran and wheat flour to make brown bread, which would satisfy his hunger and make money, but now he has a better way.
"It's okay. You let everyone cook. After cooking, we will have a meeting to discuss it." Since Jiang Yang was determined to settle down here, he naturally had to make a good plan.
One thing to say is that although there are seven people under his command, their abilities are too lacking in all aspects.
Moreover, such a large county government requires too much work, and it is necessary to divide the work one by one.
Although the Tang Dynasty was good, food in Jiangyang was still very simple.
First of all, rich people eat big fish and meat. It has been the same since ancient times. In the glorious and prosperous times, people without money still couldn't afford it.
Secondly, the cooking techniques of the Tang Dynasty are still very backward. To put it bluntly, white noodles dipped in salt will make a delicious meal.
What? You want chili, soy sauce and vinegar? None!
After a brief exchange, Jiang Yang called several people into the main hall and sat down.
"You are aware of the current situation. Now that Mi County has been here for three days, you are somewhat aware of the rights and wrongs."
Jiang Yang made a long story short and said: "I plan to take root in Xiami County! I will run a good business, I don't know whether it will succeed or not. If you want to leave now, I will make up a household registration document for you and guide you so that you can live a clean life.
"
"If you don't leave, we will have to change the rules in the future."
Li You sat on the chair on the far left and rolled his eyes. He robbed his own county magistrate and spent his own money. His little wife was dismissed and she walked away.
Wen Guan immediately expressed his position: "Brother, I will be where you are."
Chen Zhiyong said dullly: "Me too."
Ma Feng and Ma Yan looked at each other. Although their hearts were a little twitchy, they still nodded and said: "We have nothing now, so why not follow my eldest brother and have a career."
The two brothers Wang Tong, Wang Chen and Wang Chen haven't been seen much recently. They are the kind of optimists, so naturally they said with a smile that they wanted to stay.
"Since we stay, we have to divide the work." Jiang Yang said with a stunned look: "From today on, don't call me eldest brother, call me lord. You have to call yourself a lower official."
"Sir, my lord, I... will lower my rank, okay!" After Wen Guan stammered, he changed his words, and several people nodded.
"There are currently no officials in the county government, and we still have a lot of things to do. Let me arrange the work."
Under Jiang Yang's arrangement, Li You still took charge of the two brothers from the Ma family.
As for Chen Zhiyong, in addition to following Jiang Yang every day, he also had to select fifty people from among the refugees to maintain order, and told them that they would receive two yuan of salary per month.
There is also Wen Guan, who has always followed him. Jiang Yang intends to put him in charge of criminal investigation, which is the trial of cases in ancient times.
After all, the county magistrate has so many things to do, how can he personally review every case?
Wen Guan was arranged to follow the people who provided evidence in the past few days and collect witnesses and physical evidence one by one.
To the Wang brothers, the chubby Wang Tong looked like a concierge. Jiang Yang arranged for him to be temporarily responsible for the county government's finances, logistics, etc. Well... although the county government is now very poor.
However, arrangements must be made.
Seeing that several people had plans, Wang Chen hurriedly asked: "Brother... No, sir, what are you doing with your rank?"
Jiang Yang stared at him and said, "You have an important mission. I don't know if you dare to go."
"You're going to die, so why don't you dare." Wang Chen laughed.
"Okay, from now on it will be announced to the public that you are no longer a member of the palace. Don't go out these days. You have important arrangements for me."
Although Wang Chen didn't understand why, he still nodded heavily. He understood that Jiang Yang would not harm him.
Everyone has made arrangements, and now comes the matter of starting capital.
"Ahem." Jiang Yang looked at Li You and said, "I remember that you still have some money there."
Li You immediately became nervous, covering his pocket with one hand and saying: "No more, no more, not a single copper penny is left."
"You lend it to me, and I'll pay you back twice as much in three days."
"It's really gone." Li You refused to say anything, so Jiang Yang could only sigh and motioned to several people with his eyes.
He pressed Li You to the ground and calmly took out the money from his pocket.
Not bad, I still have more than a hundred taels after I spent all my money.
Seeing Li You crying, Jiang Yang comforted him: "Don't worry, I will definitely make you rich. You must know that it will be okay to follow me. Three days... no! I will definitely give it to you within seven days."
Give me back! Give me back five hundred taels."
The earliest pua in the Tang Dynasty began.
After some brainwashing by Jiang Yang, Li You had to agree, after all, the money was already in Jiang Yang's hands.
Maybe after spending a few days together, he forgot that these guys in front of him were all bandits.
After getting the money, Jiang Yang threw it directly to Wang Tong and arranged for him to buy all the money into brown sugar tomorrow, and he couldn't buy it in one store, he had to buy it in small quantities and multiple times.
Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Jiangyang's gourd, Wang Tong still nodded.
