The distribution of benefits cannot satisfy everyone, but some benefits can make many people shut up. After Shao Xi explained to a few people that the three counties would benefit from Yujiang County's Yunsha industry in the future, he also thought that it was only a benefit to the three counties, but the three people who led the troops to encircle and suppress them personally. Those who fail to profit from this siege may not necessarily feel satisfied, so the best way to shut them up is to use money to plug their mouths.
Shao Xi took from Lao Wu the four thousand gold and silver notes that Zhao Huajun bribed him with before, and gave each of the leaders of the four counties who participated in the encirclement and suppression one piece, worth one thousand gold each. The reason is very simple - each county's soldiers and horses have compensation for casualties, but in fact they don't need so much. As for how to arrange the extra money, that is their own business, and Shao Xi is too lazy to worry about it.
Some things are tacitly understood. The success of this siege brought back such good news, and the governors of each county were too late to be happy. Naturally, they had no time to worry about whether these pensions were paid in place and how to arrange the rest.
The reality is this. Don't imagine that every local official is a good official. Not everyone is like Cui Qi who focuses on the local people. To put it bluntly, as long as he is not greedy or is not too greedy, he is already a good official. How can there be so many Qingtian masters in this world? Most of them are just content with the status quo and living on their royal salary.
Now, Shao Xi has brought them an opportunity to make a fortune in every place. When the place becomes rich, these officials will naturally become rich as well. Even if they are scrapping the wealth of the people, they have to have something to scrape, right? If the people are not rich, the officials are also poor. Therefore, developing the local economy to some extent will open up financial avenues for these officials, and they can also obtain good political achievements. If they do well in the future, they will not only make a fortune, but also be promoted. Why not for?
The biggest beneficiary this time is naturally Yujiang County, which eliminated the local anti-military hidden dangers and eradicated the Zhao family and confiscated a large amount of wealth and industry. The redistribution and reuse of wealth will create a new reshuffle and stimulus for local finances. I believe that Yujiang County will be a place of sudden wealth in the next ten years, and local industries will be more prosperous than now.
Shao Xi saw that everyone had no objections to the distribution plan he proposed, so he settled the matter. Except for Sun Jue, all the military leaders from the other three counties were sent back by Shao Xi, asking them to notify the county guards after returning to each county tomorrow. Each county would send one person to Yujiang County to discuss future cooperation in silk supply. If there is money in the future, Everyone can earn together.
After everyone else left, Shao Xi turned to Cui Qi and said: "Can you combine the industries that the Zhao family can manage and calculate their total value? Later, I will ask Taihe Trading Company to hand over to you and combine the industries that the Zhao family can manage. All are transferred to my hands. From now on, the properties in Yujiang County can be branded with the royal name, but taxes will be paid normally according to the court's tax system. The people of Yujiang County will become rich, and this is all thanks to you, Mr. Cui. Bless you! I will write a note later and give it to Mr. Cui. You can send it together with the note to be reported to the court. I recommend Mr. Cui to temporarily take over the post of governor of Yujiang County and promote him to the rank of county governor. Please submit the official edict of appointment from the Holy One."
Cui Qi knelt down and worshiped after hearing this. After serving as a county magistrate for so many years, he has always been suppressed by the Zhao family and unable to realize his ambitions. Now, with Shao Xi's trick, he can promote himself to the position of parent official of Yujiang County. He can finally display his talents and bring benefits. one party.
Shao Xi helped Cui Qi up and said earnestly: "I hope Master Cui will not change his original intention after taking office as the county governor, serve the people wholeheartedly, and become an upright official respected by the local people. I also know that it has been difficult to be an upright official since ancient times. Mr. Cui has been able to bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burdens as the county magistrate over the years and never forget his original intention. Now he finally has the opportunity to display his talents and benefit the local area. I hope Mr. Cui can cherish it and keep himself clean. "
Cui Qi was extremely excited at this time. It was not important for a person to feel wronged. What was important was that someone could understand why he was wronged. Now that the grievances he suffered had finally paid off, and someone finally discovered his goodness, how could he not be excited?
"Master Shao, you are the real blue sky of Yujiang County. If I really have the opportunity to become the official of Yujiang County, I will not forget your teachings, work hard, sleep and eat, to benefit the people here, and never let down Master Shao." The grace of knowing someone."
"This is what Mr. Cui deserves. Order someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone! I will write the note and give it to Mr. Cui. After daybreak, Lao Wu and I will return to Yushui Town and wait until I bring the witness back. , it’s up to you to preside over the Zhao family’s case, and it’s enough for me to just be a spectator.”
"Xiaguan obeys the order. After dawn, Xiaguan will arrange for someone to contact Taihe Trading Company to transfer the Zhao family's original businessable properties to Mr. Shao's name."
"Um!"
…
After dawn, Yu Shui Town Sha Nu Sha Fang courtyard.
Shao Xi looked at the scene in the courtyard and felt a little stupid. It had only been one day and two nights. Why was the wooden cart so full? Anything that couldn't be piled was placed near the wheels.
There were only four corpses when we left. Good guy, this time there were five times as many! No wonder the two groups of people sent by Zhao Huajun didn't go back. They all stayed in this courtyard. Shao Xi knew without thinking that it was Gao Guang who did the good deed.
Shaonv, who had just closed the door, walked to Shao Xi and saw his expression. She still said calmly: "I think it was a mistake for you to leave him here with me. It caused me to clean up the yard for a long time, and now I can still Smells blood.”
Indeed, the hospital was still filled with the smell of blood at this time. You can imagine how bloody and tragic the scene was at that time. One person, facing a bunch of people, eventually turns them all into corpses. This has nothing to do with the level of martial arts, but the degree of cold-bloodedness.
Erasing life may be really easy for some people. Watching a life disappear in front of their eyes or even disappear in their own hands, this kind of people not only find it normal, but even to some extent Feeling excited, this is what people often call a cold-blooded person.
In fact, everyone is cold-blooded to some extent. Few people dare to say that they have never killed anything in this life. Even a fly, a mosquito, or a cockroach are all more or less killed in our hands. The earth owes some life debt.
But these are within the scope of normal people. No one would think that swatting a fly or mosquito to death means being cold-blooded. The most cold-blooded people, or even scary people, are those who kill their own kind.
Human beings are selfish and always regard their own life as the most precious thing in the world, so when a person can take away the lives of his own kind without hesitation or even indifference, then in the eyes of humans, such a person is The most terrifying person, because in his eyes, the lives of the same kind are no different than animals, and they can kill others without any burden in their hearts.
Assassins, or killers, must be the most cold-blooded part of this group of cold-blooded people.
They make a living by killing, taking the lives of their own kind in exchange for their own interests. They eliminate each other from the physical level and use the most direct and bloody means to make each other's lives disappear from this world.
Seeing lives disappearing in their own hands, they will not have the slightest pity or guilt, because in their eyes, other people's lives are just weights they use to exchange for rewards, a piece of silver that is worth today's money. A bottle of wine or a dish at night, or a girl who can accompany you until dawn, that's all.
Gao Guang was once such a person, so when he started to kill these people who were the same as himself, he felt no burden in his heart, and it could even be said that he had no trouble. All he had to consider at the time was technical matters, that is, how to take away the lives of these people faster and more accurately.
As for the ideological and moral aspects, they have habitually abandoned them and there is no need to consider them. Therefore, Gao Guang did not hesitate or show any mercy when he took action against these people, because both sides looked at the other's life with the same indifference.
Shao Xi originally planned to dispose of the four corpses when he came back. Good guy! What to do now? How big a hole would have to be dug to bury twenty corpses? How many times has the workload doubled?
After looking at the spectacular mortuary scene, Shao Xi chose to give up.
never mind! Let's let some people from the county who are professional in handling corpses do this job! Anyway, these corpses can also be used as evidence of the Zhao family's murder of imperial officials.
"I underestimated this guy! He was so efficient even though he injured his right hand! If he takes this business, he should make a lot of money from this one, but it seems that I am the best boss."
Shaonu reminded Shao Xi softly, "You do underestimate him. His left hand's sword skills are as sharp as his right hand, there is no difference at all. If you hadn't injured him with the first move the night before yesterday, , maybe his surprise will really bring you some trouble."
Shao Xi smiled softly at Shao Nu and said nonchalantly: "Who doesn't have a little secret that surprises people? He has it, and of course I have it too. It's just that I gave him a chance to show it, and He didn't give me this chance."
Sha Nu also laughed after hearing what Shao Xi said. Indeed, she believed that the person in front of her would bring her different surprises. In her eyes, Shao Xi was a person full of secrets. She wanted to get to know him, but she was also unsure about those things that were full of unknowns. Sexy is a bit timid.
She couldn't clearly describe how she felt about Shao Xi. It was definitely more than just like her, but she never thought about keeping this person by her side. Not only because she knew it was impossible, but also because she felt it was not necessary. She felt that it was enough that she had known such a person in her life and had a memorable intersection with such a person. No more was needed.
"Is Gao Guang in the room now?" Shao Xi asked casually.
Shaonv nodded, "He is in the room, but now he is injured more seriously. You injured him before, and the wound never healed. Now there are many new injuries. I think it is necessary to ask the doctor."
"Is he seriously injured?"
Sha Nu nodded again, "It's very serious, and there are too many wounds on her body to count."
"I'll go see him."
With that said, Shao Xi walked towards Gao Guang's room.
As soon as he entered the door and saw Gao Guang for the first time, Shao Xi was shocked.
"Let me choke you! Sha Nu, did you make an oversized rice dumpling and put it on the bed?"
Sha Nu: "..."
Gao Guang: "..."
