Under night, an ancient home in Anyi.
In the study room, Gu Yuan was writing furiously.
Gu Yuan's old face was full of smiles.
During the day, he took Xiong Wencan and others to investigate twenty-five wealthy families in Anyi, and all of them agreed to pay. According to the calculation, if a family earns 100,000 taels of silver, the Gu family can get 20% of it. One family earns 20,000 taels of silver, and a family of 25 earns 500,000 taels of silver.
This is extremely scary data.
In one day, he earned five hundred thousand taels of silver, and he only spent a little money without paying any other price. This is much more than what Xu Xianzong and others worked hard to sell in the granary.
What Gu Yuan is recording now is writing down today's account book. In fact today, a lot of money has been received. It's just that all the money has not been distributed yet, and is kept in the Gu family. Once all the money is collected, it will be distributed one by one.
It is impossible to keep this money alone.
Every major family knows who has paid, and everyone has a standard.
Gu Yuan recorded everything one by one. It took a long time before he finished recording everything. He checked it carefully again, the smile on his face getting brighter.
He nodded with satisfaction and put away the account book.
"Bang! Bang!"
A knock on the door came from outside the room.
"Father!"
Gu Tan's voice came from outside the room.
"Come in."
Gu Yuan ordered.
Gu Tan pushed the door open and entered, bowed before sitting down, and said seriously: "Father, my son heard that you led people to search twenty-five families. Everyone promised to give money, right?"
"right!"
Gu Yuan looked excited.
He stood up directly, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then said energetically: "Tan'er, do you know that this is a family of twenty-five. One family has twenty thousand taels of silver, and our Gu family has earned five hundred thousand taels of silver today. "
"My Gu family has made a lot of money."
"This move to help Qin is the right move. We are making a lot of money now because of your father and my vision and structure. Without my advance arrangements, no one in the city would dare to act rashly, and it would be impossible Make a lot of money today."
"Our Gu family's strength and influence in Anyi have now reached a new level."
"My Gu family is prospering like never before."
Gu Yuan talked eloquently, with endless pride in his words. The Gu family has been developing. Although the Gu family in the past was good, it was just a big family. The Gu family is where it is today, all because of his active planning.
Because of his plan, we are what we are today.
Only with his plan can he become the head of the major families today.
Yes, the Gu family is the head of the major families in Anyi City. Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, the Gu family is also extremely strong.
This is Gu Yuan’s pride.
The sorrow on Gu Tan's face was even worse. He frowned with a look of sorrow on his face and sighed: "Father, Lord Lin asked you to investigate the big families in Anyi City. But now, you haven't found anything. On the contrary, Yes, I took this opportunity to make a fortune of five hundred thousand taels of silver."
"If this matter is revealed, our Gu family and other big families will be in disaster."
"This matter cannot continue."
"I implore my father to step back from the brink and stop immediately. Don't continue to collect money. The money collected now is enough. The investigation that starts tomorrow cannot continue to collect money. Some people must be used as examples."
Gu Tan looked solemn.
He felt more and more that he was walking on the edge of a cliff and might fall into the abyss at any time.
Gu Yuan flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "I have my own opinions when investigating the major families now. You think that a big disaster will happen, but in fact, no one dares to make trouble, and no one dares to publicize it. Except for the Su family , all major families have problems. Under this premise, what are we afraid of? Therefore, your worries are unfounded. "
Gu Tan sighed inwardly.
He was worried.
Today's situation is getting worse and worse. He felt that what his father had done was too outrageous, even wanton. It's a pity that this is his father. He can't stop it or persuade him. He can only watch it happen.
Gu Tan said: "Father, you should be more cautious."
"I know, let's get down."
Gu Yuan waved his hand.
He had an impatient look on his face, and he didn't take today's events to heart at all. On the contrary, I felt that Gu Tan was too timid and cautious, unlike his father who was decisive and wise.
How can you not do things that make money?
Gu Tan could only retreat.
Gu Yuan sat down again and continued to admire his bill, not taking Gu Tan's words to heart.
…
In the military camp, inside Lin Feng's tent.
Lin Feng is reading a book.
Anyi was captured, and the surrounding areas began to send troops to control it. Under the arrangement of Bai Cejun, they advanced in an orderly manner. As for the security in Anyi City, the army is also responsible. Originally, the main officials in the Xia Kingdom's court were captured. However, at the local level, the county magistrates responsible for specific affairs are all performing their respective duties for the time being.
There is no problem with the operation of Anyi.
It won't take long for someone arranged by the court to take over. By then, Bai Cejun would feel relaxed.
Anyway, everything is on Bai Cejun's shoulders.
Lin Feng didn't care and didn't bother to care. His job is very simple, he just needs to rectify the big families in the city.
While Lin Feng was reading, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, but Ying Wu hurriedly entered.
Ying Wu had a smile on his face. After sitting down, he said directly: "Master Hou, it is as you said. Gu Yuan, Xiong Wencan and others are really greedy and vicious. They investigated twenty-five families on the basis of the investigation. .”
"Each family extorted 100,000 taels of silver, and then they divided it up. According to their division plan, the Gu family will be able to distribute 500,000 taels of silver today, and each of the other families will receive 250,000 taels of silver."
Ying Wu sighed and said: "These people are really audacious and extremely hateful. If we don't kill these people, the people will not be angry. If we don't kill these people, we won't be able to stabilize all parts of Xia Kingdom."
Ying Wu's Hei Bingtai is responsible for supervising the affairs of the Qin State and has a lot of experience.
Gu Yuan really opened Ying Wu’s horizons.
It's simply brutal.
Do anything you can to make money.
Lin Feng said with a smile: "If God wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. Gu Yuan and others will act recklessly and tyrannically, and some people will resist. Once these people resist, we will have a reason to intervene."
Ying Wu said: "Master Hou is wise, according to the news from Heibingtai. The Su family in Anyi City used to be an imperial merchant supplying silk and satin cloth to the Xia Kingdom. The head of the family, Su Binglin, was quite a gentleman in business. He did business with benevolence and integrity. Lord. He has contacted more than a dozen family members and will come to the military camp tomorrow morning to petition and ask Daqin to deal with it."
Lin Feng looked expectantly and said: "This is the best, there is no need for Heibingtai to instigate anything."
Ying Wu said: "Gu Yuan deserves to be killed."
"It deserves to be killed!"
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Have the criminal evidence of each family such as the Gu family, Xiong family, etc. been investigated clearly?"
Ying Wudao: "All incriminating evidence has been investigated clearly."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Su Binglin may also raise the issues of the Gu family, the Xiong family and other big families. What we have to do now is to follow the trend. This fire will completely solve the problems of the big families in Anyi County."
Yingwu said: "Master Hou is wise."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "Go down and have a good rest and get ready for action."
"Here!"
Ying Wu nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng was so happy that he put down his book and stopped reading. He was now waiting to explode the situation tomorrow morning.
At this time, Bai Cejun came in person.
Bai Cejun said: "Lin Feng, I heard that Gu Yuan and others are using your name to investigate the big families in the city. At the same time, they are taking the opportunity to extort money. Do you know about this matter? If this matter is not handled well, what will happen? Affecting Qin’s reputation.”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Of course I know, this is a test for them. If they don't extort money, can I catch everyone in one go? Don't worry, everything is ready now. Tomorrow morning, you can watch a good show, I will completely resolve the big family’s affairs.”
Bai Cejun smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
Lin Feng said: "Just wait and watch the show."
Bai Cejun stopped staying and got up and left to go busy. Lin Feng read for a while and then took an early rest.
