"It is certainly a good thing that we in Western Chu will have a good harvest, but the new National Defense Army is just the time when everything is ready to be revitalized."
Lin Shoufu cleared his throat: "As a subject of Western Chu, I can't bear to see the soldiers who work hard for the country without enough food. I believe you all feel the same as me. Today, the military construction and the glory of the soldiers depend on everyone."
"
Everyone was stunned, what does this mean?
Yu Zifu glanced at the fist-sized sack of grains in his hand, and suddenly had the urge to throw it away. He felt that this thing seemed... a bit ominous!
"As the saying goes, it's disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate." Lin Shoufu straightened his expression.
"The grains are a gift from me, and they are given to everyone for free. However, this bag is from the first-grade Tiansi Workshop and is priceless. I don't need to go into details about how rare the products from the Tiansi Workshop are."
"The gift bag I got from Tiansi Square costs 800 taels of silver each. Considering that we are all colleagues and friends, each of you can give 600 taels. The money collected from the gift bag will be all
Donate to the National Protective Army, and the National Protective Army will be grateful for your kindness."
"Everyone." He smiled brightly: "You can pay now. It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. My guards are all prepared with paper and pen. You can sign the IOU, and I will come to pick it up in person after the competition."
Everyone...
Money...can it really be like this? Chief Assistant, where is your face?
Seeing the guards of the Lin Mansion walking back and forth, everyone took papers and pens to distribute, obviously they were well prepared.
Everyone's mouths were twitching wildly, looking at the burlap bag that felt prickly to the touch, and shouting crazily in their hearts.
Is this the gift bag produced by Tiansi Fang? You are lying!
Everyone looked at Bailiyuan: "Master Sima, look at this..."
No one wants to be taken advantage of. As long as Bailiyuan does not sign, everyone will denounce Lin Shoufu with the same hatred!
"Huh? Why is there no movement?" Lin Shoufu looked at Bailiyuan faintly: "Six hundred taels of silver are just money for tea to Master Sima. In your heart, could it be that our soldiers from Western Chu are not worth it?
Is it important to serve you a cup of tea?"
Bailiyuan glanced at him: "Of course, I, the soldiers of Western Chu, are the most important!"
He took the pen and paper, quickly wrote his name on the IOU, and glared at Lin Shoufu fiercely.
I hope you can have the last laugh!
"Thank you so much, Grand Sima, for your donation." Lin Shoufu smiled and said, "The third son of your mansion received two gift bags with a silver medal of one thousand two hundred taels. Seeing that you are so cheerful, we have become ministers in the same palace, so you have one thousand four hundred taels.
You’re welcome.”
Baili Rusong was so frightened when he received the glare from his father that he wished he could throw the two gift bags at Lin Shoufu's face: "One thousand four hundred taels buy two rag bags, why don't you go?"
Rob?!"
"Shut up!" Bailiyuan glared at him fiercely. He took the IOU and wrote "plus one thousand four hundred taels" after his name.
The hateful old thief Lin always makes a fuss about military personnel. If he dares to complain even a word, he will be labeled as contemptuous of soldiers!
However, it was really suffocating to swallow this breath alive.
"One thousand, four hundred taels will be deducted from your monthly salary and monthly silver. Until the shortfall is made up, don't take even half a tael from your family!"
Baili Rusong shivered, regretting that his intestines turned blue. Which muscle did he tie wrongly, and he had to take two gift bags? After being so entangled, he suddenly remembered the original intention of getting the gift bags.
"Second brother." He whispered in Baili Yunsheng's ear: "Didn't you say that this was evidence that Lin Chief Fu bribed hundreds of officials? Now that he has collected the money, does it still count?"
