As soon as Wantong took office, his prestige suddenly became at its peak. There were voices of praise everywhere, and almost everyone was excited about the reward of the fifty taels of silver.
Fifty taels of silver are definitely not a minority. If you are in some inferior county towns, you can buy a good house, but in the capital, it is enough to spend one person a year or have enough food and clothing for a whole family, especially for those middle and lower classes.
For the Jinyiwei, it is like a long drought and rain, and people who are grateful are everywhere.
The news came out, and at first, there were still people who didn't believe it, but when they thought of the past deeds of this commander, they gradually believed it. Others could not afford the money, but there were two people in the Jinyiwei who could give it out, one was Liu
Chengfeng, this guy needs to be said, there is another one, I'm afraid it's Wantong. Who is Wantong? That's the brother of Concubine Wan. During the Chenghua period, he called the wind and rain for decades. It is said that the gold and silver in his family were piled up like mountains.
of.
As for the source of this news, it was still unclear at the beginning, but later, various versions of rumors emerged. Some said that it was the command of Commander Wan in person, and even said that Commander Wan said this at that time.
I heard it myself, and it was absolutely true.
Some people also swear that Commander Wan had already called people to the mansion to move the rewarded gold and silver out of the warehouse and wait for distribution. It is even more outrageous that the Wan family buried another one more than ten years ago.
Treasure, this treasure is more than tens of millions of gold and silver, so it is so generous with this commander Wan.
So for a moment, Wantong not only became the focus of the people of all thousand households, but also became the most popular figure in the entire capital.
When it comes to this commander Wan, no one is giving a thumbs up, either saying that he is generous, or saying that he values righteousness over wealth, and as for what kind of compassion for his subordinates, there is no need to say that.
Wantong's reputation also made Mou Bin notorious for a while. What is most afraid of is comparison. This comparison shows the clues.
At the same time, in the gambling house, many Jinyiwei people and other people who had paid the opportunity came. This Pengyue Gambling House is one of the most famous gambling houses in the capital. It covers a huge area and has various gambling tools.
Yes, and more importantly, it has a backend.
Opening a gambling shop in the capital. If there are no one or two big people behind it, how can I continue? This is the case with Pengyue Gambling Shop. Some people who know the details know that the store seems to have some relationship with the Minister of Works.
It is said that the boss is still a relative of the Shangshu Master, so no one dares to gamble here. As for the matter of making trouble, there is no such thing as making trouble. Not to mention others, even the military officers and lieutenants from the Jinyiwei are the same.
There are many Jinyiwei here today, and they are extremely generous when gambling. Those lieutenants who used to bet only with copper coins now have all brought broken silver and silver notes.
Amid a burst of shouts, the dice cup was unveiled, and then countless screams or sighs came out. Then many people came up, and many people shook their heads in disgrace. One of them was accompanied by two.
The captain was whispering something, as if his luck was not very good, and he seemed very depressed.
When he arrived at the entrance of the gambling house, Baihu saw a casual man walking in. When the casual man saw him, he immediately smiled and greeted him: "Zeng Baihu has time to come now, why, the wife at home is fascinated.
Your eyes actually made you slip."
This was called Zeng Baihu's Jinyiwei's Jinyiwei who gave this idle man a angrily glanced at this idle man, but he did not dare to attack this idle man. The idle man is a person in the gambling house, and he can never be easily provoked, or his immediate boss Qian,
When the household comes, they can't do anything about this gambling house. Even the Jinyiwei must be shorter in the other person's land.
Zeng Baihu did lose, but lost three taels of silver. He squandered all the money and money for half a month. When he thought of this, he was a little annoyed and felt a little dissatisfied. He originally planned to leave the gambling house, but then he got it.
He stopped moving, glanced at the idle man, then smiled and said with a smile: "Today's luck is too bad. Alas, to be honest, this money was stolen from home.
The wife at home will sooner or later discover that she will have many uneasy things at that time. It would be better to do this. Can you borrow some money from you? Not much, only five taels are enough. If you read the book,
I will pay you back immediately, but if I can't get the money, I will definitely be able to pay it back in a few days."
The idle man hugged his hands and sneered, "What are Zeng Baihu saying? Come and play with money. If you don't have money, you should stop at it. If everyone is like you, it will be great. But you have to
We have to follow the rules when you ask for a loan. You often come here to play, but you also know the rules here. If you win today, it will be good, but what about losing? How much is your monthly salary?
How much money can you make? It’s not that I look down on you, but that I just want to borrow, this is a debt that is profitable. You can’t pay it back in a few days, that’s ten taels of silver. If you delay like this, you will get more and more.
Can you bear it?"
In fact, all gamblers here know that borrowing from such people is the most dangerous. Once you borrow, you cannot repay it on the same day. When the profit is profitable, it is not fun to roll down. Some people just borrow a few
Because the money is not paid, there are many people who will eventually be destroyed. After all, if you dare to lend money, you will not be afraid that you will run away. If you dare to lend a loan to you a hundred households in the Jinyiwei, you will have various ways to repay your debts.
In the past, this Zeng Baihu lost money and never dared to borrow money. After all, no matter how he was so angry, he knew how powerful it was. But today he was quite brave. After hearing this leisure
Han smiled slightly and said, "Even if you lose today, you can still pay back the account. It will be delivered in a few days, so don't worry."
The idle man smiled with his hands in his arms. At this time, he had already made an intention. lending was his business. Since someone came to borrow, he would definitely give it to him. He was not afraid of running away anyway. But he still couldn't help but talk.
: "You are just talking lightly. I don't know how much money you have in a month. I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with it."
While he said, he took out a stack of quite old silver bills from his sleeve and ordered five taels of silver bills for him. Zeng Baihu was full of confidence and took the silver bills, and said with a smile:
"You are too underestimating people. I am a personal army of the emperor and have a hundred households. Although the luck is not good, the jurisdiction is a little bit cold. It is a hundred and thousands of miles apart from the hundreds of households in Fireworks Alleys, but a few taels of silver.
If you can't pay it back, will you still have the face to live at the foot of the emperor? Let's tell you the truth. In a few days, not to mention three or five taels of silver, even thirty or fifty taels are not difficult."
After he said that, he could not wait to squeeze into the table where he was shaking the dice.
This idle man just held his hands and showed a sneer on his face. In the past few days, not only Pengyue Gambling House, but almost all gambling houses in the capital have added many Jinyiwei figures. These military officers don’t have much hobbies, just one
In the past, they had been around for a while. After all, no matter how glorious a person is, he doesn't have so much money to spend here. However, these days have been very different. These people have begun to come every now and then.
After losing money, he was blushed and asked for loans. After winning, he took his partner to squander a lot. When he sued the loan, he didn't regard the money as money. Everyone was like this.
It all seemed like someone had changed.
However, the idle man heard some news, saying that in the past two days, the Beizhen Prefecture Office would give a reward, and everyone had fifty taels of silver in their hands. This is what the commander said in person, and it would be fine.
In fact, it is no wonder that fifty taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Not to mention ordinary people, it is not a decisive amount for these Jinyiwei. They are about to have such a large sum of silver in their hands, so it is really a loan of three or five taels.
Not worth mentioning, as long as you can pay it back, who dares to say what?
However, if you borrow this kind of thing once, you will have a second time. Just like Zeng Baihu, who just now borrowed five taels of silver, went in, and was depressed in less than half an hour. He lost so much money today, so he was unwilling to accept it.
, I came to look for this idle man again, and this idle man knew the truth. Although he made a few jokes, he gave him the same amount.
There are so many people like Zeng Baihu, and countless people, which have made the business of these gambling shops prosper a lot.
In addition to these gambling shops, many Jinyiwei have also taken action much more than before. They had to count the money to live, but now they have thought about it. Anyway, they will get a reward immediately, so they can't treat themselves badly, so they just took it and saved it.
The remaining money was squandered, and the friends were sipping their drinks, and the women bought new clothes for their wives. The people in the Jinyiwei were all happy, and they all seemed to have eaten honey and spent money on them.
His brows were not as tight as before, and he was as fine as anyone else. Even his tone of speaking was a little thicker than before.
However, there are also some lieutenants who still follow the steps and remain unlucky in favour of the controversy. Most of these lieutenants are from the Fireworks Hutong Hundred Houses or the Jubao Trading Thousand Houses. It seems that the reward has nothing to do with them. They should live the same way today.
Of course there is no secret joy of wealth coming from heaven.
This is not what they know, but it is just that these people are the most generous, and they don’t have that much desire for money. Fifty taels of silver will not make them lose their composure at once.
On the Beizhenfusi, some people who were interested had smelled something wrong. At this time, the Jinyiwei seemed to be full of joy, but under this joy, there seemed to be a stream of undercurrents, which made people feel like they were surging.
