My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 71 Death
Xu Qin handed them the list and said again, "By the way, tell them in advance that they only need to pay 50% now and the remaining 50% will be paid in half a year. Let them think carefully about the supply. There are no other things. Shang Minghai, you can collect the money these days."

After Xu Qin finished speaking, he stood up and said, "He didn't like being here. It was too cold here. Although there was charcoal fire, it was useless."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will definitely get this done." Shang Minghai immediately nodded and bowed.

"I'm going back and will come back in three days." Xu Qin said and walked outside.

Xu Qin did not go home, but went directly to the workshop. It would be fine to go home, so he might as well lie down in the workshop. If anything happened, he could deal with it in time.

The responsible persons were very unhappy. Xu Qin asked them to pay the money. How could this be possible? Many of them were fathers-in-law, people without roots. They just liked money and power, and women were just a perverted liking. Asking them to pay the money was simply asking for their lives.

So, at this moment, they gathered together to discuss this matter.

"Just give him two thousand taels as a token of his appreciation. I don't believe that he really dares to fire us. Aren't Shang Minghai and the others back? How can the weaving bureau operate without us?" said a eunuch sitting there.

"That's right. Two thousand taels is too much. Our money was given to us by our subordinates as a gift. Why can he just take it away?"

Some fathers-in-law felt something was wrong because Lang Kun and his men had ignored Xu Qin before, and now their house had been ransacked and not only had they lost everything, but their family members had also been imprisoned.

If they didn't pay the money, and Xu Qin did the same, it would be too late to regret it. However, seeing so many people opposed it, they didn't dare to say anything. They just thought that in order to save their lives and some property, they still needed to pay more money.

After the fathers-in-law returned to their own residences, they began to plan.

Someone came to Shang Minghai in the afternoon to pay the money.

"One thousand taels? Xiao Yunzi, you think I'm a fool, but are you looking down on Master Xu? Don't say I didn't remind you. Think about it yourself. Who is behind Master Xu? He doesn't even need to do anything to deal with us." Shang Minghai's face changed when he saw that the other party only sent one thousand taels, and he looked at the eunuch and said.

"Eunuch Shang, it's not that I don't want to give, it's that I really don't have the money. Eunuch Shang, Master Xu has already said that it's voluntary!" The eunuch named Xiao Yunzi said to Shang Minghai with a smile.

"Okay, I'll register for you. I've reminded you anyway, so you can decide for yourself." Shang Minghai was not annoyed, because he knew that this matter was not that easy. Xu Qin wanted three million taels, and that must be three million taels. It can only be more, not less. If it is less, someone will be in trouble.

Then another person came over and put the banknote on the table: "Eunuch Shang, this is 70,000 taels. Wait for me for a day, and I will sell my property and raise 100,000 taels. Is that okay?"

When he said this, everyone else looked at him in shock. He actually handed over 70,000 taels and was planning to raise a total of 100,000 taels.

"Okay, no problem. It's fine within three days. I'll check it out." Shang Minghai started counting, and after making sure there were no problems, he began to register.

"Thank you, Eunuch Shang. This is a small gift from me. It's not much, just one hundred taels. Buy some tea, Eunuch Shang!" The man took out a small silver note and handed it to Shang Minghai.

Shang Minghai has no money in his pocket now, and where to sleep at night is a big deal. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him is so generous and gives him one hundred taels. If it were in the past, he would have slapped him in the face. One hundred taels, how can you give a beggar money?
But now, one hundred taels can allow me to find a good place to sleep tonight, and even sleep with a girl in my arms.

"Okay, okay!" Shang Minghai put it away, registered it, looked at the eunuch and said, "You are a smart man. I will speak a few words for you in front of Mr. Xu. Don't worry, there will be many good positions in our weaving bureau!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Shang!" Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly bowed to Shang Minghai.

The next one was basically paying a few thousand taels, and there were also some who paid tens of thousands of taels, but they were few.

Xu Qin didn't care and told them to do the job. He would just wait and see what the results would be.

Three days later in the morning, Xu Qin arrived at the weaving bureau. Shang Minghai and the others were all waiting there, including those who had paid the money.

"Well, we're all here. Okay, let's go to the office!" Xu Qin put his hands behind his back, nodded, and came to the office that Lang Kun had used to work in.

As soon as Xu Qin sat down, someone brought him charcoal fire, hot tea and snacks.

"Have you notified the merchants?" Xu Qin sat down and asked them.

Liang Gui immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Master Xu, we have been notified, and we have also said that anyone can come. We will set up some tables in the front yard of our weaving bureau and let them put their items on them. Master Xu can just come and have a look!"

"Well, okay, what about the money? How much have you raised?" Xu Qin picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.

"Mr. Xu, we have raised not much, just 352,000 taels!" Shang Minghai looked at Xu Qin worriedly and said.

"That's it? So clean? Not bad, not bad!" Xu Qin smiled and nodded when he heard the number, then looked at the people standing opposite and said, "Okay, go back, there's nothing for you to do now, work hard."

When those people heard what Xu Qin said, they all sneered, thinking that Xu Qin was nothing special, and then they looked at those people who paid more money with mocking eyes.

But they soon saw that Shang Minghai handed the list to Xu Qin. Xu Qin took it and found that several people had paid more than 50,000 taels. He nodded and said, "Let them stay. Now their positions can be selected in advance!" "Ah, yes!" Shang Minghai stood up immediately after hearing this and shouted to the eunuchs. The eunuchs stopped and were very nervous. They wondered if they had walked into trouble. Would paying more money expose their corruption?

After Shang Minghai called out to those people, he looked at Xu Qin, who nodded slightly.

"You guys can start choosing your seats now. Whichever position among these people you like will be given to you when the time comes. You can choose it yourself. You only have one chance!" Shang Minghai said to the eunuchs.

"This, just pick any one?" One of them looked at Shang Minghai in surprise and asked.

"Choose any one you like!" Shang Minghai nodded.

The others were not happy, and someone immediately said to Shang Minghai: "Eunuch Shang, they chose our position, what should we do?"

Shang Minghai immediately looked at Xu Qin.

Xu Qin smiled and said, "You guys, go to the imperial prison. Your family will be confiscated! What else can we do? What can we do? Just die. What's the big deal? You are all people who value money over life. Don't you know that?"

"Ah?" When those people heard this, their legs immediately weakened. Then a eunuch was not convinced and shouted at Xu Qin: "What's your reason? You said you would go to the imperial prison, but do you have any evidence? You killed innocent people like this, we are going to sue you!"

"Yes, Xu Qin, what do you mean? We are not corrupt, why do you want to kill us?"

"Shakyabao, you are a child, what do you know?"

Xu Qin smiled and took out the token. Shang Minghai and the other three were so scared that they knelt down and stretched out their hands, fearing that Xu Qin would throw it away again.

"You say, is this thing really useful?" Xu Qin muttered as he looked around at the token.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu, it's useful, really useful, don't throw it away!" Liang Gui was scared and reminded immediately.

"Oh, as long as it's useful, can it kill people?" Xu Qin said, pointing at those people.

The four of them immediately nodded at the same time like chicks pecking at rice.

"That's enough. Let's kill them and confiscate their property. We don't need to bother the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot. If something goes through their hands, they will deduct a sum of money first, and we will suffer a huge loss. It is better for us to confiscate the valuables and those that are easy to sell first, and then give them to the Jinyiwei. You organize people and we will start the confiscation!" Xu Qin stuffed the token into his arms and said to the four of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's go and get ready right away." When the four of them heard this, they became excited. If they were going to be in trouble, they would be in trouble together, and if their house was to be searched, they would be searched together.

Those who didn't hand over much money were dumbfounded, and many of them were already sitting on the ground.

Xu Qin ignored them and looked at Shang Minghai and asked, "Is Jia Xing from the East Factory here?"

When Shang Minghai heard this, he immediately ran to the door, saw Jia Xing standing in the yard outside, and immediately called Jia Xing over.

When Jia Xing heard that it was Xu Qin who called him, he almost ran in. He was scolded to death by his superiors when he returned yesterday, so he dared not be negligent.

"Greetings, Mr. Xu!" Jia Xing came in front of Xu Qin and immediately bowed and said.

"Well, we will organize a house-raiding team later. You ask the East Depot to monitor it. After we're done searching, we'll let the people from the East Depot search again. Our weaving bureau only wants things that are valuable and easy to cash in. We don't care about other things. We won't ask whether it's your East Depot or the Embroidered Uniform Guard who takes them!" Xu Qin said indifferently to Jia Xing.

After saying that, Xu Qin stood up and said to Shang Minghai and the other four people, "I'll leave the confiscation of property to you. I need money, at least three million taels. If it's not enough, then you can think of a way to confiscate more. If it's enough, then keep it. The Weaving Bureau needs money now!"

"Yes, yes!" The four eunuchs bowed quickly.

"Master Xu, please spare us, please spare us. We are willing to pay the money. We can raise three million taels by ourselves. Please spare us, Master Xu!"

"Mr. Xu, we, we are willing to pay."

"Master Xu, spare my life, spare my life!"

Xu Qin stopped, looked at the eunuchs and ladies kneeling on the ground, smiled and said: "People will never give up until they see the Yellow River. The lesson they taught the five of them before was not enough, and they are still trying to provoke me.

But you don't have to worry. If you really have no money, or the money you pay exceeds half of your family's property, don't worry, I will not only not confiscate your property, but I will also promote you. If the money you pay is just a drop in the bucket, then I'm sorry!"
