One hundred thousand taels is left with fifty thousand taels, where will the other fifty thousand taels go?

At this time, He Tongju, who was good friends with Lin Yanchao, happened to enter to play to Su Yan, and after hearing this, he also explained to Lin Yanchao.

This is not corruption, each yamen has its own name for using money.

For example, if the household department is required to allocate funds, the river yamen must first give a ministry fee to the officials at the top and bottom of the household department.

When the money arrived at the river yamen, the officials also embezzled it under various names, such as hired servants, sedan chairs, repairing the ya, horse materials, repairing boats, and river markers, all of which had to use silver, and it was inevitable that some silver would be embezzled.

The money came to the feudal division, and the feudal division also had deficits in various places, and last year the income of the feudal treasury had to be made up, and the arrears of the salaries of the officials' subordinates were given to the officials in the capital.

In short, there are a bunch of difficulties on it, and you have to be considerate.

Lin Yanchao knows that this is a bad habit of officialdom now, but how much do you plan to give yourself for the 50,000 taels of Sufutai?

This sentence is a bit arrogant, not the attitude of the lower officials to the superiors, not to mention that Lin Yanchao has asked the prefect to allocate money, it should be the attitude of bending down and begging for help.

Su Yan was angry at first, but immediately thought, where is Lin Yanchao's confidence to dare to talk to him like this?

Master Tang continued, we also have our difficulties, the local officials ushered in the send-off, the vassal king urged Tugong, and the city wall of the east city collapsed, the matter of the siege of the city is still in front of us, if the horse comes again, what should I do if the city wall is damaged? Lin Sima is a place where money is needed.

Where does this money come from, only to move a little east and make up a little west, otherwise how can such a government be maintained? River work is important, but it's not this place to make money. There is really no money in the house at the moment, and it will be allocated in a few days, please Lin Sima wait for a few days, and at the latest will be stunned.

What is the official who cuts off ten roads, and people are stuck and don't give you money, but they can still tell the truth. But if he really waits for the sting, Lin Yanchao will miss the river construction period.

Su Yan sat safely, he just wanted to get stuck in this way and not let Lin Yanchao feel better.

It is important to know that the construction period of the river is very short, and it is necessary to repair the embankment that was washed away last year before May or June, otherwise if there is another big flood this year, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But as long as the river construction period is missed, the river yamen, and the road will be guarded by Lin Yanchao, and when that time comes, Lin Yanchao will know what it is to be held accountable.

If you delay the construction of the river project, you will be dismissed at least and exiled at worst!

In the past, the river yamen also used this trick to force an unlucky official, the feudal department, under the pressure of the river yamen on both sides, this official was timid and small, afraid of taking responsibility, and was finally forced to hang himself.

Lin Yanchao slapped the table when he heard this: "I really can't do it without money, so the lower officials can only guard the way to the subordinate, and the river platform will be handed over to uphold justice for the lower officials." ”

When Master Tang saw this, he really couldn't hold his breath, so he was angry? Unless he has the courage to do so.

Seeing Lin Yanchao's confrontation, Su Yan suddenly changed his color and said: "As the prefect of a prefecture, this mansion must defend the city, reassure the people, urge agriculture, educate and provide relief, which of these is not important." If you want to go to the top to fight a lawsuit, even if you go to fight, you will be responsible for delaying the construction of the river. ”

Lin Yanchao sneered: "One is responsible? If you really blame you, I will definitely pull you up. ”

Su Yan's face was blue for a while, and he shouted for a while: "Okay, you go to the upper control, everyone will complain, see who listens to the above?" ”

Lin Yanchao knew that Su Yan had the support of the scholar Xu Guo, and the relationship with the feudal division was also very good, so he had no fear. If I hadn't had a backhand today, I would have either been soft in front of him, or I would have been really trapped here by him.

He Tong judged the round and said: "The two of you are the eldest masters of the mansion, the second master, why don't you take a step back, it is better to allocate a little silver first, let Lin Sima start the river work in advance, build a shelf, and then talk about it slowly." ”

Master Tang said: "Owner, you might as well be like this, first allocate 20,000 taels, let Lin Sima start a fire, at least heat the pot, and then we will add firewood in the future." ”

Su Yan said angrily: "This mansion has this heart, but why should someone raise the bar with this mansion?" ”

Lin Yanchao didn't believe that Su Yanzhen would allocate the money to himself, but after all, the other party was his own official, and if he pushed back with a word, the reason was not on his side. So he took a step back and said: "Futai is angry, and the matter of the river work is still to be maintained by Futai." ”

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was soft, Su Yan shook his head and sneered: "It's hard to ask for money." But for the sake of He Tong's judgment, Master Tang's face, the only way to do this is to move some money from the barmen of each post, and make up some more money in the house, and allocate 20,000 taels to you. ”

Lin Yanchao sneered, 50,000 taels only gave 20,000 taels, not to mention, but also let himself offend people, the post station barman worked hard for a year, he counted on this money to support his wife and children, and now he can't get the money, so he can only blame himself.

This hand is really despicable, he has no grudge against Su Yan, but he wants to put himself to death.

He Tong said with a smile: "It's not easy for Lord Futai, and he has so much money in his hands. Sima, we have a small hat on our head, which can cover a little bit. ”

After speaking, He Tong gave Lin Yanchao a frequent look, so that he could not show the slightest dissatisfaction, agree first, and then talk about it later.

Generally speaking, it's almost enough for the officials to get here, and then go back to give some money to the people around Su Yan, and then see if they can be kind and enjoy some food.

Lin Yanchao said: "Then please write me a note of approval." ”

Then Lin Yanchao instructed outside the door: "Please ask the household secretary to come here to draw a pledge, and the official will receive the money in person." ”

Lin Yanchao quarreled loudly with Su Yan in the government office, you and I quarreled loudly, Wu Tong's judgment, Zhou Tong's judgment, and the magistrates of the mansion all listened with their ears pricked up outside the public court.

Several people said: "Lin Sima is finished, this mansion is deliberately trying to kill him." ”

"Who doesn't know that the household Pan Si is his lackey."

Soon the household Pan Si arrived at the house.

Pan Si is very lean, his public house is next to the main hall, Lin Yanchao and Su Yan quarreled so fiercely, he had already heard the people below.

At present, when Pan Si heard that Lin Yanchao wanted money, he immediately helped Su Yan and said: "Lord Futai, you forgot, you just allocated 10,000 taels to Yucheng Zhixian to repair the boat, and this boat is also a big deal. Futai, you will also be questioned by the Caoyun Yamen! ”

Su Yan also lost his voice and said: "How did this mansion forget about this." ”

Lin Yanchao sneered: "Then what should I do according to the meaning of the Pan Division?" ”

Pan Si was Su Yan's confidant, and he directly shook Lin Yanchao's face, and said without looking at it: "At the moment, there are only eight thousand taels in the treasury, if Lin Sima is too little, you can wait for the boat to come back from the north, and we will allocate it to you again." ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly understood, this Su Yan and Master Tang sang a play to himself just now, and he didn't want to give himself 20,000 taels at all.

Lin Yanchao sneered and asked, "Pan Siyi, you said that the treasury has no money?" Let me ask you, how much does it cost you to raise 100 fighting dogs per month for Sufutai? ”

"The government lied that the ploughing cattle were slaughtered and fed to the dogs as sick cows, how much more money did Pan Si give?"

"The one hundred and ten kennels that the government has privately repaired in the north of the city, how much money has Pan Si repaired?"

"And every dog is hired to eat, drink, and feed, and how much is the silver?"

"Outside the city, the common people can't eat, and there is no tile to cover the roof, but the dogs in Futai can eat beef every day and live in a kennel. Isn't this treasury from the imperial court, but a private treasury that you opened for the mansion? ”

As soon as Lin Yanchao said a few words, the whole hall was discolored.

Many people know about these things. Su Yan loves dogs like his life, so the officials above serve these dogs better than people in order to appease him.

But everyone understands these things in their hearts, but no one dares to say a word in front of Su Yan.

Su Yan said angrily: "Lin Sima, what are you talking about, these fighting dogs are all raised by this mansion to guard against thieves." What personal enmity do you have against your house, that you should slander this house so viciously? ”

Master Tang also smiled and said: "Sima Lin, you misunderstood, there is indeed no money in the mansion, you are not happy with the mansion, and you don't have to worry about these dogs." ”

Lin Yanchao sneered: "Raise a dog as a police dog? Only shameless people can say such shameless words? Sufutai, I advise you, don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand in this Guide Mansion. ”

"You must know that there are gods in the three feet above your head, the sky net is magnificent and sparse but not leaky, everything you do is in the eyes of people, and one day when the people's grievances are boiling, it is the time when you are retributed!"

Lin Yanchao angrily scolded Su Yan, but Su Yan didn't dare to respond. Lin Yanchao looked at Master Tang again, and Pan Si said: "The two of you help to abuse, everything is served, and the evil is more prosperous, and the court will investigate it in the future, and you and Su Yan will sit in this cell together." ”

Master Tang's face turned red, and he was also guilty in his heart, and he was speechless by Lin Yanchao.

As for Pan Si, his face was distorted and said: "Come on, come on, this Lin Sima is crazy, talking nonsense, take him down." ”

The officials in the mansion outside poured into the hall together, and Lin Yanchao reprimanded: "Which one dares to move?" ”

Seeing Lin Yanchao's majesty, the official soap Li didn't dare to step forward and took three steps back.

Zhou Tong's judgment, Wu Tong's judgment, the officials in the house, and everyone were stunned when they saw Lin Yanchao and Su Yan's angry scene.

It's as if Lin Yanchao suddenly burst out and turned the entire mansion hall upside down.

He Tong came to Lin Yanchao's side and persuaded: "Lin Sima, please bear with me and don't say any more." ”

"This official has endured it for a long time, and there is no need to endure it today," Lin Yanchao walked in front of Su Yan and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, this official advises Su Futai to report your matter to your boss as soon as possible, and ask yourself to send it to the top, so as not to make mistakes." ”

Hearing this, Su Yan looked Lin Yanchao up and down, and suddenly laughed: "Fang Cai said that you are crazy, this mansion does not believe it, and it is true that it is not false at the moment." This house has just raised a few dogs, where is the sin? ”

"But you roared in court today, and didn't take me, the official, in your eyes. This house is a ginseng to see who is not guaranteed. ”

Su Yan paused and reprimanded: "Hmph, the milk stinks and is not dry, and you are angry, do you think that a few words of quarrel can bring down the official?" Do you think it's you? There is a king's flag, can you behead the official? ”

Lin Yanchao sneered: "Really? ”

At this moment, a servant rushed to the palace and said, "Futai, there are visitors outside!" ”
