So do you think it’s more cost-effective to waive the monthly payment for your relatives and friends in exchange for a few compliments, or is it more cost-effective to get more money for yourself? After Liu Haojia raised this issue, no one among them immediately argued about it anymore!
Everyone discussed a pile of maps until late at night before basically formulating a rough plan. And the map has been smeared beyond recognition!
Seeing this situation, Liu Shouyou waved his hand boldly and said: "Don't worry, our Jinyiwei has experts in making maps, just let them work hard overnight!"
After saying that, he asked people to come in and send all the maps away, turned around and said with a smile: "Now there is the biggest problem, that is, how to distribute the money that has been collected as planned? But still But come to think of it, our Jin Yiwei people have come up with an idea and made a strategy, and in the future, we have to rely on our Jin Yiwei to arrest people, so we Jin Yiwei should take the lead!"
At this time, County Magistrate Zhang ignored the official propriety and said loudly: "If we want to arrest people, we can also arrest people! Besides, we have more police officers and helpers, and we are also familiar with geography, so we should arrest more!"
And General Sun Shen said loudly: "Our civilian army can also send out people! And our people are well-trained, and no one will know if they put on civilian clothes and do it!"
Liu Shouyou sneered and said, "That's not the case with our Jinyi guards who shot you to the bone!"
Then Liu Shouyou turned to Liu Haojia and said, "Mr. Liu Qi, this idea was yours. You should have some opinions, right?"
Liu Haojia spread his hands and said: "I can't express this opinion! Sir, don't forget that there are many people above us!"
At this time, Wu Shilang said disdainfully: "I have been silent and watched you arguing, just to see if you can think of this problem! I didn't expect that you can't even compare with the general banner! And I think Liu Haojia is your Jin Yiwei's He’s true, but the idea came from him personally. It doesn’t matter if he takes more for himself, but you guys don’t want to take the big one! Don’t forget that there are so many adults, big and small, who need to take care of it!”
Everyone calmed down when Wu Shilang said this. And they understood that Wu Shilang was right. Even though this is just a matter of collecting money on the streets and surrounding towns, there are quite a lot involved!
First of all, the people's army got involved, which is inseparable from the Ministry of War. The officers of Shuntian Mansion are involved, so they can't avoid the Criminal Department! If you don't take care of the staff when you get the benefits, you will be like an old man eating arsenic and living impatiently! So at least there are three departments that need to be managed. Not to mention that there is also a relatively independent Jin Yiwei who also needs to be involved. So if you don't settle these adults, if you want to collect money on the street, that's a delusion!
Seeing that they stopped arguing, Wu Shilang nodded with satisfaction. However, he changed his tone and said to Liu Haojia: "You are still young, but you have a quick mind. If you start studying at this time and take the right path, you may not have no results!"
Liu Shouyou heard this and said, "Master Wu, is it interesting for you to come here to rob someone at this time?"
Liu Haojia raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for the compliment! It's just that I'm a high-ranking official, so even if I read the book thoroughly, I'm afraid I won't be able to go far!"
Naturally, Wu Shilang also knew that the civil service group tacitly suppressed the rules of honorable nobles, so he sighed and said: "What a pity! Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. Everyone will go back and talk to the superiors individually, and then we will get back our opinions. Bump!”
Before anyone could express their opinions, Liu Haojia knocked on the table and said, "My lords, have you forgotten that there is another person here?"
Only then did everyone remember that Zhang Jia had been sitting there silently, and they couldn't help but feel annoyed! Wu Shilang patted his head and said: "It made Eunuch Zhang laugh. He was blinded by a few taels of silver for no reason!"
Zhang Jia said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay! Anyway, this matter was overdone by Lord Long Live. I guess you guys can't do without Lord Long Live, right?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and no one expected that Emperor Wanli would actually have a hand in this money! So everyone didn’t know what to say for a while.
Then Wu Shilang quietly winked at County Magistrate Zhang. When County Magistrate Zhang saw it, he knew it was time for him to come forward, so he gritted his teeth and said with a bitter look on his face: "Eunuch Zhang, Long Live Master is rich all over the world, how can you value this little money?"
Zhang Jia laughed and said: "Long Live Master naturally looks down on this silver, so Long Live Master has long said that after getting the money, it will be directly put into the national treasury. It can be regarded as taking it from the people and using it for the people!"
When everyone heard that Emperor Wanli arranged this, they were a little in awe for a moment! They really didn't expect that such a strange person would come out of the old Zhu family who loves money so much! It's just that they don't think Emperor Wanli is so selfless, but they can't guess Emperor Wanli's real plan, and they can only compliment Emperor Wanli for loving his people like a son!
At this time, Liu Haojia said: "My lords, the sky is getting brighter, so you should hurry up and go back to rest!"
Liu Haojia then took out several lists and handed them to several people present. The lists stated how to classify the levels of various merchants, how much money each level would charge, and the relevant reasons. They were clearly written, making it clear at a glance.
After Liu Shouyou saw what it was, he stuffed the list into his arms, rubbed his thighs and said, "I didn't notice it was so late! I feel my legs are sore now and my mouth is dry!"
Wu Shilang also put away the list and said with a smile: "I haven't stayed up late at night for a long time! But I don't want to stay up late for the first time in so many years, but it's just how to collect and distribute money! What a joke!"
General Sun Shen on the side was also complaining endlessly! Although he is a martial artist, he has long been drained of his body by drinking and sex in a prosperous place like the capital, and he has not practiced for a long time. Compared with civil servants, he is not much better, and he grins just like him!
Everyone felt exhausted and had talked about all the things they needed to talk about, so they naturally dispersed. As the master, Liu Shouyou naturally wanted to send them away one by one.
After everyone else left, Zhang Jiacai left last, and he called Liu Haojia to get on his carriage. Liu Shouyou knew that they must have something to communicate in private, but he had no intention of inquiring into their secrets, so the two of them finally went out and got into the carriage.
After Zhang Jia ordered the coachman to rush to Uncle Gu Ning's house, he slumped in the carriage and said, "I didn't expect it to be so late. Long live the Lord in the palace must be waiting impatiently!"
