Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Chapter 236 Collecting money according to the order

"When we entered those two mansions, our brothers really tried their best."

"But in that mansion, I just can't find any more silver."

"Yes, although our brothers also know what kind of people Gao Qiu and Tong Guan are, how can they not be greedy?"

"But our brothers can't find any more silver even if they dig three feet into the ground?"

"If the official wants to punish the captain just because of this matter."

"Then, we brothers, there is nothing we can do."

Xu Ning closed his eyes slightly, then turned around slowly.

After sighing deeply, he opened his eyes again.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a banknote from his clenched fist:

"What are you all guessing about?"

"Do you think that official is such an ignorant person?"

"These 1000 taels of silver notes were given to us by the government just now. You brothers can use them to buy wine and meat."

When Xu Ning handed the one thousand zero silver note to the soldiers.

The soldiers were stunned.

Because they really couldn't understand it. They obviously had no merit at all, but why did the officials reward them again?

This, what's the point of this?

Moreover, yesterday's silver coins have not been used up until now, and today's coins have been delivered again.

The soldiers wanted to take the silver note from Xu Ning's hand. After all, no matter what era, the silver note was a good thing.

And one of the reasons why these people become imperial guards is to honor their ancestors.

As for the second thing, I want to eat royal food so that the whole family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

But people like them also understand the principle of no reward for no merit.

So the dozen or so soldiers, after thinking about it for a long time, finally asked Xu Ning tentatively:

"Xu, Captain Xu."

"In the past few days, we brothers have not made any contributions to the government. How can we brothers get this silver?"

"Otherwise, Colonel Xu, you have to return this silver to the officials."

"I feel like I deserve it if I get money without having done any meritorious service."

"Yes, Lieutenant Xu."

Xu Ning sighed, and then his eyes passed over the dozen soldiers standing in front of him.

After a long time, he finally spoke:

"Do you think I want to take it?"

"Am I, Xu Ning, in the eyes of you people, such a ignorant person?"

"I don't understand the principle of no reward for no merit?"

"It's just that just now, the imperial edicts from the official family have been transferred to me. Do you want me to disobey?"

As soon as Xu Ning said this, the soldiers were immediately speechless.

Xu Ning's hand holding the bank note waved to the dozen or so people:

"Take it. After buying wine and food, you will exchange the silver notes and distribute them equally to each brother."

"I don't ask much from you. I just hope that after you take this banknote, you won't have a crooked mind when you act in the future. Do you understand?"

……

After Zhao Ji returned to the palace, he had been thinking about this matter.

Because in Zhao Ji's view, this house confiscation will not only bring a large amount of silver income to the court and the national treasury, but also allow the people all over the world and the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty to see that Zhao Ji will be rewarded for his merits. The determination to punish those who go too far.

But now?

Zhao Ji led Xu Ning and 300 people under his command, and spent two days in those two mansions, but they only confiscated less than 10 taels of silver from there, plus some people whose names they had never heard of. Copycat calligraphy and painting.

This couldn't help but make Zhao Ji feel a hundred times more depressed than eating a dead fly.

As a modern person, Zhao Ji had never seen those ancient people before, and even if he understood them, he didn't even understand them at all.

As for their thoughts and ideas, to Zhao Ji, they are as elusive as a book from heaven.

If this is the case, then how can we guess what methods these ancient people used when hiding gold, silver, and silk?

Just when Zhao Ji was wandering around and had just reached the door of Shangshu room.

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of an extremely smart person.

And that person has a very close relationship with Zhao Ji.

Liu Tanxin!

Yes, that's her!

Zhao Ji had seen how intelligent that woman was a long time ago.

As for that beauty, her relationship with Zhao Ji has been extremely harmonious in recent days.

If Zhao Ji goes to look for her at this time, I believe that the other party will definitely not reject Zhao Ji's request.

Zhao Ji thought about this and didn't even bother with dinner.

After hurriedly changing into his dragon robe, he quickly walked towards Kunning Palace.

Just when Zhao Ji was fully expecting that he would be able to see the results soon...

But at the door of Liu Tanxin's inner room, she was rejected.

Liu Tanxin's personal maid Huan'er is currently guarding the door of Liu Tanxin's inner room.

Seeing Zhao Ji coming, he immediately blocked him out.

Just when Zhao Ji was stunned and confused.

That Huan'er said shyly:

"Huan'er blocked the official's way, please forgive me."

"It's just that my queen has been infected with cold recently, so it's really inconvenient for her to see other people."

"Please, please forgive me."

Zhao Ji looked stunned for a moment, and then became even more anxious.

However, before he could put his hand on the wooden door.

A rather anxious voice came from the room:

"Are the officials here?"

"It's better for the officials not to come in."

"My concubine is ill, and I am really afraid of infecting the officials."

"If anything happens to the official family, just stand outside and tell me."

Zhao Ji's face was anxious:

"Tan Xin, is the disease serious? Can you ask an imperial doctor to see it?"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, a series of light coughs came from the room:

"A few days ago, I was drinking and chatting with some of my sisters."

"Accidentally, I was blown by the cold wind."

"That's why it's like this."

"In the past few days, several doctors from the imperial hospital have come to diagnose and treat my concubine several times."

"I drank several bowls of the soup."

"It's only now that things have gotten better."

"Don't worry, officials."

"But I don't know why the officials are so eager to find my concubine."

"Officials don't have to worry about the health of my concubines. If you have any concerns, just speak up."

Zhao Ji originally wanted to say what he was thinking directly, but he was afraid that his beloved wife would be exhausted and exhausted by the matter, which would affect her physical recovery.

So, I could only say something else:

"I came here this time just because I missed you."

"I just want to see how you look, listen to your voice when you speak, and chat with you about everyday things."

"But I never thought that you, Tan Xin, would be sick."
