I don't know when five stacks of bills appeared on the table, all of them were bills in denominations of twenty yuan, and they didn't look like the kind of brand-new bills that had just been taken out of the bank, some of them were old, they were all change. Since the passage of the Duty Crimes Act in the Imperial Diet, it has become a bit difficult to receive money, which in the past was a very common etiquette...... Well, a little bit unusual, at that time, people's attitudes towards power and money trading were not as extreme as they are now, and even recognized this behavior as a criminal behavior.

You must know that in the past, nobles and officials would often give each other some small things, such as a box of gold coins, or a manor, of course, there may also be one or two slaves of a completely different gender from the master, these are normal human relations. Aristocrats were also happy to squander their wealth to prove their wealth and decency to those around them, and there was nothing more decent than popping out a gold coin when a tip was awarded.

Even in recent years, this is not a big problem, after the war of aggression launched by the Federation, the whole society is in the process of rebuilding, and the merchants have bought off the power to develop the city to ensure that their interests in the city will not be harmed. In other words, this is actually a contractual act, I give you money, you protect my life and property security, only in this way can businessmen dare to put a lot of money on a city will definitely rise!

To a certain extent, this is a good thing, people's habitual thinking has not changed because of social and institutional changes, and it can even be said that the power and money transaction at this time is more like an act of paying taxes to the lord in advance, and the merchants are building in the territory, and they naturally have to share some of the money they earn to the lord in order to continue to operate, and at the same time be able to get the protection of the lord, which is normal.

However, with the improvement of the social system and all aspects, especially the abolition of the class hierarchy, which represents the feudal society, people began to pay attention to the harm of power-for-money transactions, and also legislated to punish this kind of behavior. This is a change in the collective consciousness of society, and the public is very receptive to new things in the new era, and they have begun to follow the trend, so they are very willing to plan for some things that do not conform to the trend.

Harry, who has been dealing with the investigation team recently, has this feeling, he feels that he has done nothing wrong, but he has indeed done wrong.

When power reaches a certain level, it will inevitably attract money, just as money accumulates to a certain amount, it will also attract power, which is a very normal thing. Because only when these two are entangled and attracted to each other will they trigger a qualitative change in something.

"It's ten thousand ......," Durin picked up the wad of bills and fiddled with them, although they were all old banknotes, they still made a nice sound with Durin's playing, more pleasant than any kind of music in the world.

The official swallowed a mouthful of saliva, now he is not thirsty, "I don't understand ......", 10,000 yuan is not a small amount of money, in the eyes of many people this is a very large amount. According to the statistics of the Imperial Ministry of Finance in the first half of the year, in the minimum remuneration law implemented in various parts of the empire, the lowest salary can be 50 yuan a month, and the highest place is close to 60 yuan, which is an average. This 10,000 yuan is the money that a person can save after working for 15 years without eating or drinking.

Even for this official, his monthly salary plus various miscellaneous allowances is only one hundred and sixty-seven yuan, of course, there must be some other unofficial benefits and income in normal times, but it will definitely not exceed three hundred yuan.

Durin smiled, "I'll explain, maybe you'll understand." ”

"The money is old unnumbered, and it hasn't flowed through any bank in the last three months, in other words, it's all in the empire, but no one knows who it belongs to now. ”

"Do you know why many gang members like to use such old bills that do not have serial numbers and do not flow through in a short period of time when they trade?", Durin asked a certain professional question, of course, in the face of this problem, the officials of the Social Services Bureau could do nothing but shake their heads, he really did not know. Durin threw the money back on the table and stacked it on top of the other four, "Because these money can avoid tracking by the bank, I'm not sure how the bank tracks these numbers, but I know that they have the same operational blind spot, that is, the money has not entered circulation in a short period of time." ”

In other words, they are legal in the hands of any one person, and no one can prove that the holder of the money is violating any law by holding the banknotes. At the same time, they do not cause any trouble when they re-enter the circulation link. ”

"For example......", Durin looked at the official, who also tore his collar, "if they are in your hands and are also legitimate, and no one can prove that you should not have them, they can't do this, then everything is not a problem." ”

The official's breath was a little short, two years ago, before the passage of the anti-duty crime bill, his actual income was very high, several times that of the current one, but after the passage of the anti-duty crime bill, his income plummeted so much that he sold a property to pay off the bank loan. At that time, it was not a great thing to collect some money and do something, but now it makes him very difficult, "Mr. Durin, I'm not sure...... And even if I am willing to help you from my standpoint, I will not be able to change the current situation. I'm just a concrete person, although I have a little power......"

"It doesn't matter!", Durin took out a tote bag from a drawer under the low table and put the money inside, "You just need to tell me who can make the decision and ask him out for a meal together." You'll get to know me, I'm a good talker and a very happy person to make friends, are we friends now?"

He had already put all the money into a handbag of inconspicuous brown paper, and then held out his hand, and the Social Services officer looked at the paper bag with longing in his eyes. His mind was engaged in a fierce struggle, and he didn't want to take Durin's money, because he didn't know if taking Durin's money would bring him more trouble, which was tantamount to handing over a handle to Durin's hands. It may just be for him to make an appointment with someone today, and maybe he will do something else in the future.

But he was hot-eyed, and he knew that Durin was a hard guy to mess with. He had already heard from his friends about what happened to Du Lin in Kaile Gate, and the status of Kaile Gate in the imperial capital was very special, so that some ordinary officials of the imperial capital did not dare to spread wild in it, but Du Lin did it. Not only did he make people storm the Keller Gate, but the next day someone saw little Mr. Keller who was beaten like a piece of shit, which proved Dürin's energy and ability. Not taking money was a simple decision, but it could have a series of serious consequences, and I heard that Durin was sometimes vindictive and petty.

Durin looked at the struggle on his face and asked with a joking smile, "You're rejecting my friendship!"

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Social Services officer gritted his teeth, squeezed out a smile, and reached out again to hold Duhrin tightly, "No, I was thinking about how to thank you for your generosity." ”

"Generous?", Durin laughed as he handed the bag to the guy, "You're right, I'm a generous man!"

After saying goodbye to the official, Durin shook his head and went back to the living room and sat down, he could actually talk to Mags about it, but it was pointless, if he went to Mags for everything, it meant that he was a person who was incompetent. Everyone's ability is the value of the person in society, when a person's value seems to be lower and lower, the "goods" around him will become cheaper and cheaper, and when it is cheap to a certain extent, it will be destined to be sent to the discount area, or even thrown into the trash.

Ensuring one's own value is the most correct thing to do, and this is a small matter in itself, and there is no need to take the high-level route.

The problem of paving in the southern cities has been solved, and as Dührin imagined, as long as enough money is spent, the mayors of the south are willing to cooperate with Doolin's business practices. That can not only provide more jobs for a city, but also add a bright color to the city's tax revenue.

Now only the problem of Illian and the Imperial Capital remained, and Durin believed that the Imperial Capital's side would not be a problem in the end, and just as he was thinking about the next series of steps, the phone rang.

This surprised him very much, this was his first time in this manor, except for a very few people, no one knew that he lived here, and the people who could make phone calls here were definitely not ordinary people. Wait for the phone to ring three times before he lifts it, "This is Figo Burton Manor." This was the name of the manor, and Durin had no intention of changing it.

There was silence in the earpiece for about two seconds, and a very nice female voice sounded, "Is that Mr. Doolin?"

"Yes!"

The voice became more pleasant, "Hello, Mr. Dulin, I am Nadia from the Southern Commercial Bank, I took the liberty of calling you, I finally found this number, first of all I need to apologize to you, I may have disturbed your rest, I hope you can forgive me." Also, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to be able to visit you, or invite you to meet?"

The Imperial Central Bank has just finished making a move, and now it is the turn of the Southern Commercial Bank.

Durin thought about his schedule for the next few days and replied, "I'll have time tomorrow night!"
