Zhou Baoliang's wealth was not fabricated out of thin air.
It seemed that Wang Hengyue and his gang had only been waiting there for two hours, but Zhou Baoliang had actually collected half a million taels of silver!
Wang Hengyue was dizzy when he saw it. Who are these people? They could take out five hundred thousand taels of silver without even trembling.
The banknotes issued by Baohengtong Bank can be cashed anywhere. Yu Lei checked it carefully, stood up, and held his sister's hand: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you, please take my leave!"
Seeing these soldiers walking out, the housekeeper felt unwilling and asked: "Sir, are you just giving me five hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"Fifty thousand taels can bring peace, so be content." Zhou Baoliang sighed: "I'm just afraid there will be a next time..."
As soon as they left the Zhou family, Deng Xia complained repeatedly: "Yu Lei, you said you are going to end it like this? A living human life!"
Yu Lei just held his sister's hand tightly and refused to relax at all. Wang Hengyue said with a smile:
"Do you think this scholar is really that kind-hearted? Zhao Duxian just gave him a small punishment, and no one dared to really cause anything. But now that this is the beginning, Yu Lei will definitely not let Zhou Baoliang go,"
"Your Majesty, you are wise." Yu Lei finally let go of his sister's hand: "You can kill someone with just one knife. That's not true revenge. Making the matter bigger now will be detrimental to us. We might as well blackmail you for hundreds of thousands of taels.
Silver. Sooner or later, this Leshan will belong to the adults. The students are not afraid. There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future."
As he said that, his eyes turned to Yu Yun: "Xiaoyun, don't worry, I'm sorry for our people, I will take revenge bit by bit, and I want them all to die miserably!"
All the brothers felt a little chilled after hearing this. Yu Lei took out a silver note of 500,000 taels and handed it to Wang Hengyue: "What will you do with this money?"
How to deal with it? I wish I could put it all in my own pocket, but if one person takes all the money and passes it around, I'm afraid I will end up like Zhou Baoliang! Wang Hengyue sighed: "Two hundred thousand taels out of five hundred thousand taels,
It must be done to Zhao Duxian, otherwise I might not be able to sit firmly in my seat. The other three hundred thousand must be given to Zhang Guan and at least one hundred thousand. I can't help but give out another one hundred thousand, what kind of Leshan magistrate?
You'll get a little more points if you do that. My gang can only get a hundred thousand taels at most."
"My lord is wise!" Yu Lei said again: "My lord knows the secrets of this officialdom."
Everyone benefited from the sedan chair and everyone was happy. No one would cause trouble for Zhou Baoliang in the future. I'm afraid the local officials in Leshan would be eager to do this.
But think about it again, I came to Leshan originally for fun, but I somehow made 100,000 taels of silver out of thin air. For Wang Hengyue, this 100,000 taels of silver was really a timely help. And it also created a potential cornucopia.
, I’m just worried that this cornucopia won’t be hollowed out in advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Hengyue felt much more comfortable.
Back at Zhang Xu's camp, after talking about what had happened, Zhang Xu was overjoyed. He knew he would be able to get some money this time, but he didn't expect to bring back so much money.
After explaining how he planned to divide the money, Zhang Xu even gave a thumbs up and repeatedly praised his brother for his ability to do things. He just wanted to give him one hundred thousand taels, but Zhang Xu repeatedly waved away.
After being polite to each other for a long time, Zhang Xu finally accepted the money. He also wrote a letter, asked Wang Hengyue to sign it, and sent it to Zhao Erxun together with the 200,000 silver note. This made Wang Hengyue come with him.
The purpose of signing the name was to expose his brother in front of Zhao Erxun, which would greatly increase the chance of being recommended in the future, which would greatly benefit Wang Hengyue's future.
The 100,000 taels of silver distributed to Leshan officials were carefully divided into dozens of parts. From the prefect, to the general offices of each bureau, to the general offices, to the masters, eldest men, and young masters, everyone was not disappointed.
For a time, the Leshan officialdom was very happy, knowing that the money was obtained by Wang Hengyue. Everyone praised Wang Bangdai as a capable person and the pillar of the imperial court. In the future, he must rely on Wang Bangdai to protect the country and the people.
Those officials who had a good reputation and some real power in their hands all invited Wang Bang to have banquets for several days, and they were not allowed to get away. Those who did not have power also thought of ways to ask someone to ask Wang Bang to help them once, so that they might be able to make money in the future.
Some benefits.
Wang Hengyue originally wanted to leave immediately, but who would have thought that he would be held up by the general office and the general office, and would not be able to escape for several days. Even the prefect of Leshan invited Wang Hengyue once. The audience couldn't help but hint that this kind of thing might as well happen again.
!
He, Zhou Baoliang, has businesses everywhere. During his time as chief executive, he made hundreds of millions and tens of millions. Now that his backstage is gone, how long will it take for him to use up so much money? Why not spend it with everyone?
Officials are not allowed to do these things. Firstly, Sven always has to show off, secondly, he can’t find a name but openly blackmails, thirdly, God knows when Xiliang will come back. But Wang Bangdao can’t do it.
Same.
I really wish that Wang Bangdai could stay in Leshan forever and emptied his Zhou family!
In the past few days, Wang Hengyue got to know some officials very well, such as the Machinery General Office, the Timber General Office, and the Iron Industry General Office. Wang Hengyue proposed to purchase materials, and everyone in these general offices patted their chests and agreed. Anyway, it is not troublesome.
, when purchasing materials, just purchase more. In this way, it will not be a problem to make more.
In this way, the materials for manufacturing weapons and ammunition at the Rongxian Arsenal were unexpectedly and smoothly solved.
As expected, sharing the spoils has its benefits, otherwise God knows when we will get these people to nod and help.
After staying in Leshan for seven or eight days, it was impossible to stay any longer, so the officials reluctantly let Wang Hengyue leave. Before leaving, Magistrate Sun gave Wang Hengyue a special meal.
During this period, a reply letter from Governor Zhao Erxun also arrived. The letter really praised Zhang Xu and Wang Hengyue and asked them to work hard. If there are any vacancies in the future, they should be given priority.
He also said that since Wang Hengyue arrived in Rong County, the military pay and weapons had not been solved, and he had ordered his men to solve it as soon as possible. Before that, Wang Hengyue might as well think of a solution at the local level. The new army was the top priority of the imperial court, and the local authorities should have given strong support.
That's right. For example, Rong County produces salt, and Wang Hengyue can ask the salt merchants to use some money to make up for the gap in military pay.
The implication was that Wang Hengyue should think more about salt. Of course, salt mining was the exclusive domain of the imperial court, so Zhao Duxian would not say so clearly.
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed. He had already mined two salt wells. Now that he had this letter from Zhao Erxun, he had a "Sword of Shangfang". If someone reported him secretly in the future, he would not have to worry about anything.
It seems that my trip to Rong County is really the right one!
