Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

If he gave too little, he would lose face in front of Shen Zheng, which would be more painful than losing his life.

If he got too much, he would be very distressed! Now the money coming into the dock goes into his pocket!

This huge joy made Manager An and the others dizzy. The young boy Wu Xiaozhu was the most practical. He didn't ask for much. Just give him what he deserves, and he would give every penny to his mother.

If you have to give more...

He wanted to taste what candied haws tasted like.

A string of candied haws costs eight cents. If he waits for the vendors to close their stalls and buys the small strings left over by others, he might be able to get it for only five or six cents!

Although five or six cents for the New Year's money is not a lot, it is still a plucking of feathers for a stingy person like Mo Er, right? Who knows, the other party may not be willing to accept it!

He swallowed and said to Manager An happily: "Uncle An, I just want... mmmmm..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao He's big hand covered his mouth.

Zhao He secretly glanced at Shen Zheng, then came over and said, "Don't say anything, just listen to Master Shen."

Wu Xiaozhu didn't understand why, but he nodded obediently and looked at Shen Zheng eagerly.

Shen Zheng was still looking at Mo Jinyin, and asked him with a chuckle, "Second Master, haven't you made up your mind yet? New Year's money is just like that, it's a token of your appreciation. You can do as much as you can. If Second Master feels sorry for the money, give him a copper coin, then everyone can buy a handful of rice to eat, right?"

Just one sentence made Mo Jinyin so excited that his hair almost stood up.

He didn't look at Shen Zheng, but at the box of white change.

What does it mean? What does it mean to do things according to one's ability? Is Mo Jinyin very incapable? Now when he goes out, who wouldn't respectfully call him Master Mo? Isn't this his ability?

One penny? What can one penny do?

When Mr. Mo was happy, he would give beggars more than a copper coin! If he were to give them to the dock workers as New Year's money, wouldn't he be laughed at by his peers?

In an instant, the humiliation he suffered in the restaurant today came back to Mo Jinyin's mind.

Those mocking words and those unbridled laughter kept echoing in his ears, making his eyes red with anger.

Wang Guangjin and Mo Qingwan secretly gave Shen Zheng a thumbs up. Wang Guangjin even added fuel to the fire: "Sir, please don't embarrass Second Master Mo. Who knows, Second Master's pocket... is also shy. Not everywhere can compare with our Tong'an County."

After saying that, he turned sideways and smiled, and a smile also appeared in Mo Qingwan's eyes.

Shen Zheng uttered an "ah" and said apologetically, "I am sorry for making things difficult for you, so I won't give you the New Year's money. Manager Yu, please help count the money that everyone deserves."

Manager Yu was also a sensible person. He said to Manager An and the others, "Just pay as much as you deserve. There's not even a penny more! Second Master works so hard every day. It's good enough that you can pay us!"

After saying that, he sniffed the smell of alcohol on Mo Jinyin.

It’s hard work!

Just as Manager Yu bent down to take the silver, Mo Jinyin shouted angrily, "Wait a minute! The New Year's money has been distributed to everyone!"

Manager Yu was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "No! Second Master, no! Master Shen said he won't embarrass you!"

"It's not a problem! It's just a small amount of money, why should I bother you?" Mo Jinyin's face flushed red, he looked at the wooden box and waved his hand: "There is only one New Year's Day in a year, all the workers on the dock will be paid 200 coins... No! 300 coins for the New Year's money, the manager will double it!"

"hiss--"

Everyone present gasped in shock, and Wu Xiaozhu even started counting on his fingers on the spot.

How many strings of candied haws can be bought with three hundred coins! I'm afraid I can't finish them all in one day! He wants to bring one string for his mother, and give the rest of the money to his mother!

Manager Yu and Manager An's eyes widened and they were so shocked that they couldn't utter a word.

They thought that Mo Jinyin could not stand the provocation and might give them a few dozen coins. After all, there were hundreds of people going up and down the dock, and it was not a small sum of money.

But they never thought that this person was so irresistible!

A laborer costs three hundred wen and a manager costs six hundred wen, so with this calculation, it would be over a hundred taels of silver!

There is a saying in the Zhou Dynasty that there is New Year's money, but who are the people who receive the New Year's money? They are officials! They are the confidants of the masters and ladies of the wealthy families!

Even the shop owners of big shops may not get any New Year money!

And today, these hard laborers got a few hundred coins for New Year's money for free with just a few words from Lord Shen?

A few hundred coins... not just a few dozen coins... Manager Yu's hands were shaking with excitement and he couldn't say a word to refuse.

Why didn't he realize in the past that Mo Er was so easy to control?

Even Shen Zheng, who was sitting on the chair, was a little surprised. After exchanging a glance with Wang Guangjin, she pretended to persuade him, "Second Master is so generous, but three hundred coins... I think it's a bit too much. It hurts me to have it on me."

Mo Er listened.

You, an official, feel bad? I don't feel bad today! I'm better than you!

"Master Shen, what are you talking about?" The smile on his face was a little more genuine. "It's been many years since the Mo family wharf was built, and the workers have been hardworking and diligent, but I never appreciated it before. Now that I think about it, I feel so guilty!"

As he spoke, he also stepped on Mo Qingwan's foot.

Mo Qingwan disagreed and chuckled, "Second uncle is right, it was my fault."

Mo Er's "face-saving heart" was satisfied as never before. He turned to the steward and said, "Old Yu, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and distribute the wages just calculated, plus the New Year's money that should be distributed, to everyone! There are so many people waiting behind! The sooner you distribute them, the sooner you can unload the goods for Lord Shen!"

Manager Yu quickly picked up his pen and wrote down the New Year's money for everyone. Then he picked up a small scale and began to count the change in the box.

He stopped pushing now, fearing that Mo Jinyin would go back on his word, and his hands almost left a trace of the afterimage.

When the heavy change fell into the hands of Manager An and others, they still felt like they were dreaming.

This was delayed and delayed, and I waited and waited, and finally Lord Shen came, and I had to wait for a few hundred more coins to be paid?

"Okay, you guys order yourselves, and if there's no problem, call the next group of people in." Manager Yu grinned from ear to ear, and hurriedly drove Manager An and the others out.

Manager An and the others felt that the silver was not real. They quickly bowed and thanked Shen Zheng blankly: "Thank you, Lord Shen! Lord Shen, I wish you a happy new year, a promotion and great wealth!"

"Let's have fun together." Shen Zheng waved at them with a smile, and said hypocritically: "We should thank Mr. Mo."

Manager An and the others thanked Mo Jinyin reluctantly before turning around and leaving.

Mo Jinyin looked at their backs and always felt that something was not going on.
