"These ten thousand taels of silver are a token of gratitude for the kindness of the people of this county to the wise brother Ziyu. Without the wise brother to save Linxi from the fire and water, the people of the whole county would have suffered."
"My dear brother, don't refuse, you deserve this."
Magistrate Bai said with a smile.
Although the money was not paid by him, but by the gentry of Linxi.
But if he hadn't come to beg for alms one by one, would those stingy gentry be willing to give it out?
He deserves credit too!
Magistrate Bai didn't think there was anything excessive about his behavior.
In his opinion, if it weren't for Luo Heng, the money in the families of those gentry would have been robbed by the White Lotus thieves.
Now we only let them shed a little blood, which is considered an advantage for them.
"Thank you, sir. Then Luo will accept it shamelessly?"
Luo Heng did not refuse, but accepted it with a smile.
Li Qianjue's eyes lit up, thinking about how many things he could buy with ten thousand taels of silver.
It’s not that I don’t know, it’s a shock.
According to the calculation that my master's Sanwei Bookstore is worth a thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of silver can buy ten Sanwei bookstores.
Three out of ten sets enter the courtyard. How wealthy is this family?
Thinking about it again, when he was traveling in the world, he had a hundred and ten taels of silver with him, which was already very wealthy.
Now the master actually got a reward of ten thousand taels all at once. It must be a scholar who can earn money quickly.
The more Li Qianjue thought about it, the more he felt that he was with the right person.
The richer my master is, the more he will benefit from it.
Thinking of this, Li Qianjue was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He looked even happier than Luo Heng.
County Magistrate Bai naturally saw Li Qianjue's expression and was not surprised at all.
Ten thousand taels of silver is really not a small amount, even he can't deal with it indifferently, let alone a mere old servant?
It was Ziyu Xiandi's reaction that surprised him.
Although Brother Ziyu accepted the reward with a smile, his expression was not too troubled, as if he was not facing a thousand taels of silver, but... a pile of scrap metal.
After Magistrate Bai was surprised for a moment, he then thought, how could his wise brother Ziyu be an ordinary person? He was the one who made the fuss.
Thinking about this, County Magistrate Bai exchanged a few words with Luo Heng, informed him that the imperial court had sent troops to quell the chaos, and then left with the officers.
Luo Heng glanced at the ten boxes of silver and called Mu Qingwan and Ye Wan'er from the backyard.
"Wanwan, Miss Ye, there are ten thousand taels of silver here, let's take them back to the backyard first."
Just after entering the door, Luo Heng smiled and said to Mu Qingwan and Ye Waner.
Their eyes fell on the ten boxes involuntarily.
The white money almost dazzled their eyes.
The girl's reaction was okay. Although she knew what silver was, she didn't have much idea about ten thousand taels of silver, so she could still remain calm. It was just the first time she saw so many silver bumps, so curiosity was inevitable.
Ye Wan'er's face already showed a look of surprise.
Ten thousand taels of silver was indeed not much for the Ye family of Lin'an in the past. Her family must have millions of wealth.
However, the Ye family's return to wealth was not to the extent that they could ignore ten thousand taels of silver.
You know, the purchasing power of silver in Dachu is extremely strong.
Ordinary people in the north may only earn a few taels of silver a year if they work hard for a year.
The situation in the south is slightly better, with most families earning between 20 and 50 taels.
However, this is basically the limit for ordinary people.
Ten thousand taels of silver can support many, many families.
Even Ye Waner, whose family was once extremely wealthy, rarely saw thousands of taels of silver piled in front of her.
"Luo..."
The girl pointed at the silver, as if she wanted to ask where it came from.
She was asking for Ye Wan'er, after all, she just saw the look on Ye Wan'er's face that she wanted to ask but didn't dare.
"It was awarded to me by the county. I saved Lin Xi."
Luo Heng smiled slightly and replied.
When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Luo is so awesome, he made a lot of money all at once.
Ye Wan'er showed a look of surprise.
It turned out to be a reward from the county, so it’s no wonder.
Without Luo Heng, Linxi County may not be able to survive. This contribution is indeed great enough.
“It’s inconvenient to carry so much cash, why not exchange it for banknotes?”
Ye Wan'er thought for a while and suggested.
Didn't Luo Heng say that he would enter Beijing soon?
It will be troublesome to carry so much cash at that time.
"That's right, then let Lao Wan slowly exchange it for a banknote."
Luo Heng nodded and approved Ye Wan'er's proposal.
Although all four members of the family are skilled in martial arts, money and silk are so attractive that they may cause unnecessary trouble.
It would be more appropriate to exchange it for a banknote.
…
On the official road leading to Linxi County.
Countless White Lotus Sect masters rushed towards Linxi County like crazy.
The refugees from the north moved south, giving the White Lotus Sect a golden opportunity.
Originally, the Holy Envoys of the White Lotus Sect had agreed to start a rebellion together on Jiazi Day this month, creating a huge momentum in the Central Plains.
By then, the court will most likely be in dire straits.
This plan was unanimously approved by the leader, saint, deputy leader, and guardians, and they were waiting for the arrival of Jiazi Day.
But who would have expected that Liu Jin, the Holy Envoy of Southeast Road, would not obey the order and cause turmoil in advance.
Fortunately, Liu Jin's body was missing, and Lin Xi, who played an extremely important role in the plan, was protected by various garrisons, and the court responded accordingly.
If they can't capture Linxi, how can there be so many ships in the counties along the river for them to cross the river and approach the capital?
The middle and senior leaders of the church were furious.
He could only issue an order to have various holy envoys rush to Linxi County with the masters of the religion.
We must capture Linxi County first before the imperial army sends troops.
The long-term rebellion has allowed the White Lotus Sect to sum up a set of experiences.
In the past, although the White Lotus Sect had made a lot of noise, most of the incidents were in the north or the Central Plains.
Although this can gain temporary benefits, it can also easily lead to an encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, and the turmoil will soon be quelled.
But this time, they made a beheading plan.
Try to use the refugees from the counties along the river to start an uprising, and then envoys from all walks of life will come together to take over Linxi County, which connects the north and south of the river and has many merchant ships coming and going every day.
At that time, they were able to cross the river directly south through those merchant ships and surprise the unprepared capital.
As long as the capital is captured and the Dog Emperor and the descendants of the Xiang family are killed, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the situation of heroes vying for the throne will appear again.
At that time, it would be a good time for their White Lotus Sect to truly change their dynasty.
But unfortunately... everything was ruined by the Southeast Road Holy Envoy Liu Jin.
The masters of the White Lotus Sect were eager to crush Liu Jin into ashes, but Liu Jin was already dead after all, so it was useless for them to hate him any more.
At the moment, all the White Lotus Sect masters can only rush to Linxi County as hard as they can.
It took the court to react and seize the opportunity.
As long as Linxi County can be captured, everything can be saved.
Linxi, a small county town, has once again become a place where storms gather.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building!
