The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Mr. Wang paid the compensation to Wang Jijun and also paid the compensation to the servants.

The family of the deceased could not believe that the government office would provide death compensation. Although it was only 5 taels, it felt particularly heavy in their hands.

But from the magistrate's backyard, bursts of cheers were heard.

Sun Dali shouted with a smile: "Line up one by one and come up to receive your money."

As soon as these words came out, the men shouted loudly: "Good, good, good."

Applause broke out again in an instant.

Seeing how excited they were, Sun Shan unconsciously became excited as well.

Sun Dali laughed and said, "Big-headed dog, come up. Here's your reward, 12 taels."

Big Head Dog earned 10 taels by killing bandits as a bodyguard. Because his hair was cut off by the bandits and he suffered some minor injuries, he earned another 2 taels, so he earned 12 taels in total.

He had 2 taels more than the other uninjured guards.

The big-headed dog was so excited that he ran forward quickly with his bob haircut.

He excitedly took the 12 taels from Sun Dingnan's hand, his face flushed, and he said with light in his eyes, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Take it. This is what you deserve."

Big-Headed Dog was even more delighted. He ran up to Sun Shan and said, "Master, my mother borrowed ten taels from the Madam some time ago. Haha, I'm going to return the money now."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Yuanlu County, his debts were cleared, and Big Head Dog felt a lot more relaxed.

Hehe, I have 20 taels in my pocket now. After I learn the local language, I will ask the master to find a marriage for me.

Although he is not very willing to marry a woman from another place, if he doesn't marry her now, his prime will have passed and it will be more difficult for him to find a wife in the future.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that all my friends have become fathers, but I am still alone.

In the past, Datougou had no wife to marry because he had no betrothal gifts. But now it is different. Now he has money in his pocket and it is not difficult for him to find a wife.

Big Head Dog wanted to marry a gentle and virtuous girl, preferably one who was pretty.

Big Head Dog held the silver in his hand and had wild thoughts.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Okay, you can go to Brother Nan later to sign and pledge to repay the debt."

Then he added, "Any of you who wants an advance on your wages may ask for it. But the reason must be reasonable. If it's not reasonable, I won't give you an advance."

The men said cheerfully, "Master, we don't need it."

Sun Heitan put the ten taels into his pocket and said with a grin, "Following the master, we have free food, lodging, and clothes for all four seasons. We don't need to spend any money, and we don't even need an advance."

After a pause, he quickly asked, "Master, can you help us take the money back to Sunjia Village and give it to our family?"

Sun Heitan came to Yuanlu with only 5 taels of silver.

Along the way, I ate Sunshan's food, drank Sunshan's drinks, wore Sunshan's clothes, and stayed in Sunshan's accommodations, without spending a penny.

Hehe, now I have saved fifteen taels.

Sun Heitan wanted Sun Shan to help him send the money back home.

Especially since my son and daughter are still so young, they are at the age when they need to spend money.

Sun Shan thought that Yuanlu County was so far away from Huangyang County, and it would not be feasible to help send money back.

The shipping fee is more expensive than the principal.

So he said, "How about this, next time I'll write back. You give me the money, and I'll ask the old man to give money to your family. I won't have to check the money in, otherwise it might get lost along the way."

It would be great if there was a phone. Sun Shan would collect money from Sun Heitan, and Sun Bomin would pay Sun Heitan's family.

It’s a pity that I don’t know when I will receive the letter I wrote.

But it's still safer than asking someone to ship it back.

Gui Ge'er quickly agreed: "Brother Shan, your idea is good. We will give you the money, and the old man will help pay the family. Haha, this way our money won't be lost."

Then he turned to Sun Heitan and the others and said, "Let's do as the master suggests. If we send someone to deliver the money back from Yuanlu County, not only will we have to pay for the delivery, but there's also the possibility that it won't reach Sunjia Village safely. On the way, if the person isn't a family member, our money could be embezzled at any time."

Escort agency shipping is very unreliable.

Sun Shan, Gui Ge'er is often away from home, so they don't dare to arrange for valuables to be sent back.

What if the escort agency embezzled the money and then said it was robbed by bandits? Who would they go to cry to?

Gui Ge'er was very experienced and thought Sun Shan's method was the best.

Some smart people knew what Sun Shan meant.

Like Sun Caogen, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Master, next time you write back, ask the old man to send 10 taels to my home. Haha, these 10 taels are useless to me."

In fact, there are many such people, but the men all think about their families and send money back to improve their families' lives.

I'm a bit slow-witted and can't understand how Sun Shan did this.

They gave money to Sun Shan, but didn't send it back. Where did the old man get the money to give to his family?

I keep going around in circles but I just can't figure out why.

Sun Dali slapped his confused younger brother on the head and said speechlessly, "If you can't figure it out, don't try to figure it out. Just do what the master says. The master won't take your money. Just do what everyone else does. If you don't understand, just follow the crowd."

Emma, ​​the village chief is not good at choosing guards. Why does he only choose big guys without considering whether they are smart or not?

Tsk tsk---it seems that the village chief has grown old and useless, and has become confused.

Emma, ​​I will secretly tell the master later to let Sunjia Village "change the dynasty", elect a new village chief, and eliminate the old village chief.

When people get old and confused, it's time for them to abdicate.

The person who was slapped on the head by Sun Dali was Sun Guangsheng from the village. He was a big guy in the village and his nickname was Dazhi Guang.

It’s a pity that he only has size but no brains. Others can understand things at once, but Dazhi Guang can’t understand anything no matter how hard he tries.

Sun Dali simply didn't explain and just let him follow the main force.

Dazhi Guang scratched his head and said honestly, "Uncle Dali, you are right. If I can't figure it out, then I don't. I will just do what the master says."

This made everyone laugh.

Butler Wang, who was lying on the recliner, received 5 taels of guard fees and 3 taels of compensation for the injured.

He said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I could get 8 taels. Haha, thank you for the reward, Master."

I thought to myself that it was fortunate that the Wang family paid for most of my medical expenses. After I left the Wang family and moved into the government office, the master paid for my medical expenses.

Haha, fortunately the later cost is much less than the previous one, so Manager Wang is not so panicked.

Nanny Wang and Mrs. Xia never thought they would be rewarded, so they thanked Sun Shan.

Nanny Wang said happily, "Thank you very much, Master. Haha, I didn't expect I also have 5 taels."

Sun Shan waved his hand and said, "As long as you contribute to suppressing the bandits, there will be rewards."

Thinking back to when Nanny Wang and Xia held the bandit's waist tightly, allowing Sun Shan to hit him accurately, five taels of silver was not too much for this contribution.

Sun Dali distributed the rewards one by one, and Sun Dingnan registered them one by one.

Sun Dali said earnestly, "You must keep the money well and send it back home when you have the chance. Don't spend it recklessly, and don't do anything illogical just because you have money.

We cannot harm the master's reputation. Anyone who commits a crime will be sent back to Sun Village for minor offenses, and will be sent back to Sun Village after serving time in prison for serious offenses."
