Chapter 32: Silver
The door was pushed open, and Lu Shui and Wang Xiucai walked into the house quickly.
Wang Xiucai put a money bag on the case first, and then said with a guilty face, "The student has made such a big mistake by reading the sage book for so many years, but fortunately, he met Deputy Lu to catch the head, so that the student has the opportunity to repent, please accept the student's worship." ”
As he spoke, Wang Xiucai really knelt down towards Lu Dashi and made a deep bow to show his sincerity.
Since ancient times, civil and military officials think that military generals are muscular men without brains, but military generals think that civil officials will only talk rhetoric and have no use, Wang Xiucai can kneel down and ask for guilt, on the one hand, he is guilty, and on the other hand, he is indeed grateful to Lu Dashi.
On the way to get the silver, Wang Xiucai had already carefully thought about Lu Dashi's words, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, if this matter was discovered by others, he would definitely be sent to prison, once he had a criminal record, not only would he lose his reputation, but his livelihood would also be a problem in the future.
Even if you don't participate in scientific examinations in the future, who would invite a thief to teach if you want to teach in a private school?
As for the errands in the yamen, don't even think about it anymore, the people who can steal the money in the yamen still want to serve in the yamen, isn't it a fantasy.
Wang Xiucai was willing to give Lu Dashi such a big gift, thanking Lu Dashi for giving him a chance to start over, which can also be said to be a chance to be a new person.
Seeing Wang Xiucai kneeling down for himself, Lu Dashi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile, "Although I haven't read much, I still understand the truth that the prodigal son will not change his money, as long as you are willing to sincerely repent, it is worth it for me to take such a big risk." ”
……
After everyone left, Lu Dashi picked up the money bag containing silver, checked it in his hand, and said with a smile, "This silver is so pitiful!" ”
Xiaohong pursed her lips, "What's so pitiful about silver, it's pitiful without silver!" ”
Lu Dashi was stunned, he didn't expect Xiaohong to say such philosophical words, and then smiled, "Although it is pitiful that there is no silver, it is even more pitiful that these silver are homeless!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Dashi turned his head to Zhou Sining, "I don't know if Zhou Gongzi is willing to accept this silver?" ”
Zhou Sining was a little stunned, "Why should I take your silver!" ”
Lu Dashi Zhengse said, "The silver will be collected more and more in the future, and the expenditure will be more and more, you have also seen, the silver was collected, and they lost it, this time I was lucky to find it, if I can't find it, what should the people who are waiting for the silver to heal." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Dashi stood up and waved at Zhou Sining, "Please also ask Zhou Gongzi to take this responsibility for the sake of the people of Huaishui County." ”
Zhou Sining's face was slightly red, "But, I'm a daughter, how can I do these things!" ”
"Miss Zhou, there are so few people who can read and break words now, even if Master Liu is willing to send someone again, if there is another person like Wang Xiucai, it will be the people who suffer!
I think so, I went to Liu Zhushu to borrow another person, and asked him to go to the people's homes to verify the situation, these are not big problems, the most important thing is the silver, if there is a problem with the silver, our efforts will not be in vain.
So, I would like to ask Miss Zhou to manage the expenditure of the silver so that I can rest assured. ”
"Lu Shishi, you pushed the matter to our young lady, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Lu Dashi slowly straightened up and said proudly, "Of course I want to do more important things, how can I break even with the little money collected by the pharmacy, so I am in charge of earning money, and you can spend it for me!" ”
"Cut! Bragging, how can silver be so easy to earn! ”
Lu Dashi didn't care about Xiaohong's contempt, he just said with a smile, "Then let's make a bet, if I earn money in a short period of time, you can't call Lu Shi in the future, if you want to call Brother Shi, how about it, dare to bet?" ”
When it comes to gambling, Xiaohong has some stage fright, pondered carefully in her heart, and finally thought of a way to think she would win, before she smiled and said, "What dare you not gamble, but I also have conditions, as long as you earn 1000 taels of silver in a short period of time, I will call you, on the contrary, if you can't earn 1000 taels of silver, you can call me Sister Xiaohong in the future!" Hee-hee....... ”
1,000 taels of silver is by no means a small amount, and the purchasing power of 1,000 taels of silver is equivalent to 1 million yuan in the previous life.
Lu Dashi, who is a soil bun, according to the original historical trajectory, I am afraid that he has never seen 1,000 taels of silver in his life.
But now it's different, although 1000 taels is a lot, it's really not a big problem for Lu Dashi now.
"Hahaha, Xiaohong, we have made up our minds, don't rely on the debt if you lose!"
"Humph! It's not certain who loses, and I hope you won't be able to repay the debt! ”
The gambling contract has been completed, and Lu Dashi then remembered that Zhou Sining has not agreed to keep the silver for himself?
"Miss Zhou, don't hesitate, the people of Huaishui County rely on you."
Zhou Sining was in a state of confusion at this time, and he took care of the money for him, which was obviously unruly, not to mention, he had to show up at his own daughter's house, how could this be appropriate!
But if you refuse it, it's not appropriate, what Lu Dashi said just now is really reasonable, he can't manage the silver if he can't read, if he lets others take care of the silver, it is indeed risky, if he encounters Wang Xiucai's kind of thing again, he will regret it at that time.
Seeing Zhou Sining's hesitant expression on his face, Lu Dashi hurriedly explained, "I don't ask Miss Zhou to do it myself, I will find another person to help Miss Zhou, then you just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him have a chance to make mistakes." ”
Lu Dashi is also very worried now, there is too much shortage of talents, these people brought from home are all people who can't read big characters, let them do things okay, loyalty should be guaranteed, but they really can't do this kind of thing, so to speak, even if Lu Dashi finds another person to manage the silver, even if this person is Lu Shui and the others make fake accounts, no one will find out.
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Lu Dashi's scalp was numb, and he made money in the front, and the people he invited embezzled his own silver in ......the back.
Asking Miss Zhou to take care of the money for herself is actually the best choice.
First of all, through the observation of the past few days, Zhou Sining is kind-hearted, otherwise he would not have delivered food for himself.
On the other hand, the Zhou family is not short of this money, so the safety of their own silver is also guaranteed.
Finally, Lu Dashi also wants to use this silver to pull in the relationship with Zhou Dingbang.
Master Zhou is not an ordinary person, what he has in his family is money, this kind of person, as long as he is not a stupid person in the officialdom, he can definitely get mixed up, so it is absolutely no harm to get closer to Master Zhou.
