The 130th chapter on the forest line (9)(2/2)
What he said seemed to make sense, especially when Qin Bao, an honest boy, relayed it seriously, and everyone seemed to have nothing to say.
However, Zhang Xing, who had been prepared early that day, announced that he had prepared gold and silver in advance... There were 1,560 people in Fulongwei, who were added up according to their salaries and exchanged according to the official price. They had gold and silver.
After the superiors came to collect it... Fulongwei still hinted at a possibility with cheers.
No one wants to give even one month's salary to the saint.
And just when the Fulong Guards were thanking Zhang Sanlang profusely, the real Fulong Guards Chang Jian and Bai Yousi just remained silent and chose to leave silently amidst the muffled thunder in early summer.
Of course, she didn't dislike Zhang Xing for taking the spotlight and winning people's hearts. After all, after things really got to this point, she couldn't help but feel frustrated because her efforts failed.
Moreover, she is not a fool.
Neither is Zhang Xing, nor is most of the people in Fulongwei.
Everyone knows very well that it would be fine if the entire country were to deduct one month's salary, but it requires gold and silver, government prices, and large-scale collection in a short period of time. This is not a matter of one month's salary.
The most direct point is, how do you describe the official price and the market price?
The official price is one tael of gold, ten taels of silver, and ten guan of copper coins. But what is the actual price? In the normal market before the decree was issued, it was already one tael of gold for a dozen taels of silver and twenty guan of copper coins.
Once a large-scale demand is formed, it will inevitably trigger a linkage effect... Especially in Dongdu, a place where the largest number of officials gather, where will everyone go to find gold and silver?
And who is willing to hand over two or three months of salary for free?
Then in the end, officials will be forced to go to the people to find it.
But once this gap is opened, which yamen can buy and sell equally? I usually eat your buns for nothing, let alone someone with a serious name in the court who comes to dig into your family wealth?
In name, hundreds of officials and barbarians came to pay this money to show their loyalty to the saint. It seemed like a face-saving project, but in fact, it was likely to turn into a robbery spree that would make the civil and military officials across the country completely red-eyed.
"Fortunately, the Chang Jian and the Deputy Chang Jian were well prepared, otherwise their salary would have been lost in two months." The new White Ribbon Wang Zhen was a man who had been in the market, and later became a soldier. He first served as a soldier, and then transferred to the Fulong Guard.
, at this time, rushing to have dinner on the porch before it rained, he couldn't help but take the initiative to show his loyalty.
"Indeed, the test has been done. We will wait until tomorrow to save the trouble." Zhou Xingfan was also a little nervous. "But it's so simple here in Fulongwei. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive when I get to Jingjiehu."
If you live there, I'm afraid I'm going to blackmail the merchant directly... You don't even need to blackmail, you just force the merchant to exchange it at the official price, and you can exchange it privately at the market price, and after two more round trips, you will rob the merchant of gold and silver."
"The Street Cleaning Tigers are definitely the first ones to search, and they are also the ones who make the most noise. That's what they do." Qin Bao, wearing a white ribbon, replied solemnly. "But when it comes to hierarchy, I think from the Jinyi Patrol and the Six Divisions
Something is going to go wrong there.”
"Isn't that true?" Not to mention Zhou Xingfan, even Wang Zhen was a little unbelievable. "Who do you want for the patrol? All the six departments are Yuanwailang, quite respectable officials from the capital... But it's hard to say with the local officials."
"Just watch!" Qin Bao glanced at Zhang Xing, who was silently eating a plate of sauced meat, and insisted on his judgment. "I really don't think the Jinyi patrol team can be stable."
Everyone was talking and arguing for a while.
However, at this moment, suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the willow forest, and then a familiar face led a group of Jinwu Guards into the small courtyard under the White Tower, which made the Fulong Guards who were still dining in the corridor a little confused.
Caught off guard.
"Why are you eating? Are the gold and silver ready?" Gao Dugong looked hurried and impatient. "Everyone in Beiya is the most loyal to the saint. They must collect it all before tonight, and then deliver it to the saint in person.
…”
Qin Bao and others looked at each other in confusion, and then all looked at Zhang Xing, who just took his time and ate the meat with sauce.
"What's wrong?" Upon seeing this, Gao Dugong stepped forward, his tone became higher, and his posture suddenly became stern. "Don't tell me that Fulongwei didn't know about this in advance and make preparations early. It's you who should
You are the first to know, okay? I tell you, nothing can go wrong here in Beiya. If anything happens from you, I won’t even spare Miss Bai’s face!"
Zhang Xing ate another piece of meat from the plate with an expressionless expression, then stood up, wiped his mouth, and responded calmly: "Gao Dugong is overthinking, we have already packed everything, and we were thinking about leaving as soon as the meal on the verandah is over."
We are sending it to the Black Tower... Mr. Gao Du is so diligent, do you want to go with us?"
Gao Jiang was startled for a moment, then laughed: "We are so busy and confused... we actually forgot that Fulongwei belongs to Jing'antai, so I won't bother you."
As he said that, he actually raised his hand slightly, then turned around and hurried away.
It looks like he wants to personally supervise and complete all the targets today.
On the other side, as Zhang Xing sat down calmly, the Fulong Guards in the corridor were no longer as relaxed as before - even Qin Bao didn't expect that even the Fulong Guards stationed in Xiyuan were almost forced to surrender.
Two cents.
Let alone anywhere else?
Let alone going down?
In the dull air pressure, there was a sudden thunder above the corridor, and the summer rain that reminded people of unpleasant memories began again.
When the summer showers first started, they were intense and rapid, and the visibility dropped by more than one level. After a while, the rain gradually slowed down, the field of vision recovered slightly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone was sitting on the porch, with rainwater all over their bodies and in their dishes.
It doesn’t matter on the body, who in Fulongwei is not a spiritual practitioner? Even Zhang Fuchangjian is said to have reached the end of his true meridian.
At this time, Zhang Xing looked at the meat dipped in sauce on the plate, and finally looked around and sneered: "The world is so big that there is no room for a stable dining table?"
No one answered.
