Literati Sanctification

Chapter 190 Banquet
After dispatching all the people to do things for him, Heng Xiulin sat on a chair beside him, holding in his hand the information that the guards inquired back, and filled them out on paper one by one, and waited until Heng Xiulin had recorded all the people. After reading the information, he only felt that his arms were a little numb.

After shaking his hands, Heng Xiulin counted all the people. If it is really necessary to make a serious count, it is really difficult according to various aspects, so Heng Xiulin simply counted all the old parents, and The number of orphans and women is counted. Of course, each of them is counted by points. In this way, it will be much easier to pay silver taels per head.

According to what I thought in my heart, Heng Xiulin wrote it directly on the paper but calculated it. At this time, if other people come in, I am afraid they will not understand at all. What Heng Xiulin is writing is completely ghostly.

However, for Heng Xiulin, these ghost symbols are extremely easy to use. If the numbers here are used, I am afraid that it will be impossible to count for many months. The most important thing is that there will still be extremely Could be wrong.

Not to mention the rest, even when copying, mistakes are extremely possible.

Heng Xiulin frowned, calculated carefully, and got the final result. After calculating the result, the worried Heng Xiulin checked the calculation again. After three or four times, there was nothing wrong. Heng Xiulin Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Heng Xiulin was slightly satisfied with the final result.

The old people above are unable to make money because they are inconvenient to move around, so each old person can receive seven taels of silver. Children aged one to eight are still immature and need to be taken care of. There is still a long way to go before becoming an adult. Time, so I was able to receive 30 taels of silver.

After that, there are children from nine to sixteen years old. The 16-year-old here is actually considered an adult and can already be a dummy, but marriage and marriage are all about money, so Heng Xiulin Or put them together, and count them as ten taels of silver.

As for women, they are now the main force in the family, and the amount of silver they can receive is relatively small, only five taels of silver. In this way, as long as there are many orphans and mothers in the family, they will naturally receive more silver. After all, they are the burden of the family. heavier.

However, those who received less silver had lighter burdens, so they received less silver taels. After such an arrangement, the corners of Heng Xiulin's mouth curled up slightly, and he was extremely satisfied.

After finishing all this, Heng Xiulin was a little tired. When he stretched out, and then looked outside, he found that the sky was already dark, and there was only a little light. He wanted to come After a while, it was completely dark.

I didn't expect that such a long time would pass after I made such a calculation. Heng Xiulin smiled wryly, and when he was about to get up, there was a loud noise outside, followed by the subordinates sent by Heng Xiulin , at this moment they are all running back one by one.

"My lord, I have already exchanged all the villains!"

"Sir, fortunately not humiliated!"

The guards were all carrying sacks in their hands. When they came in, they put the sacks on the ground with a bang, and said to Heng Xiulin. At this moment, their faces were dripping with sweat, and their clothes They were all a little wet, presumably to finish what Heng Xiulin told them, and they were also very tired from running around.

Heng Xiulin stepped forward to open the sack, and after a random look, he saw that there was a piece of silver in it, which was really bright. So many silver bills, after being replaced with broken silver taels, were indeed Some more.

The knights who came back were carrying sacks one by one, and it was obvious that there were so many taels of silver that Heng Xiulin couldn't count even if he wanted to.

Dang even waved his hand, and then said to everyone.

"It's been hard work this time, so I won't say anything superfluous. Pile up all the silver and lock the door, and several people will take turns guarding it. I'll order a good dish for the restaurant and bring it to you, but there is no wine. After tomorrow, I'll be the host and treat you to a drink."

Heng Xiulin's face was full of smiles, and he said to the crowd, all the guards felt warm in their hearts when they heard the words, eating and drinking was the second priority, with so much money, Heng Xiulin didn't even have the mind to check it out, so Don't worry about them and let them take care of them. It can be said that they have great trust. How can they not be moved by this.

But for them, the touching words in their hearts would naturally not be spoken out, so they immediately clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, my lord, I can shirk the rest of the matter, but I will not wait for the wine and food." Polite."

"Haha, the villain is the same, the rest can be shirked, but the only thing about the banquet, the villain will not shirk, the villain has no other problems, but alcoholism, I hope adults don't mind."

At this time, several guards clasped their fists at Heng Xiulin and said, they are all straight-tempered, and they can say whatever they want, so right now they are not prepared to be polite to Heng Xiulin at all.

Heng Xiulin also nodded when he heard the words, and then said with a smile on his face, "Well, the wine is on my shoulders, but it's not today, everyone, bear with it."

After Heng Xiulin finished speaking, the guards dared to think it was true, but a voice came from outside, followed by a series of footsteps, walking quickly towards the courtyard.

"What wine? You ate it before we ate. Although you are the number one scholar and Doctor Zijin, you are also a literati. We are a little ashamed of your actions!"

Accompanied by the voice, Zeng Shaosheng walked directly into the small courtyard. Hearing Heng Xiulin's words just now, he thought that Heng Xiulin had already eaten, but they didn't eat any of them, so they came here specially to call for Heng Xiu Lin's, now he heard Heng Xiulin speak like this, so he spoke like this.

But when he came in, he saw that there were only figures standing inside, but there was no food, he was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had misunderstood, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha, brother Zeng, you have wronged Mr. Heng. He is the number one talented person. How could he do such a thing? You are a bad person in vain."

Mu Guanyu, who was behind him, also walked in at this time, and after seeing the scene in front of him, he smiled unscrupulously at Zeng Shaosheng. It is rare to see Zeng Shaosheng deflated. Nature will not show mercy.

"Everyone hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go ahead, I'm a little hungry in my stomach."

When Heng Xiulin saw the crowd, a smile flashed across his face, he cupped his hands at Houhou, and smiled at them.

"Everyone, I was waiting for you to go to dinner with me. The city lord originally prepared a banquet, but I felt that it would be a little uncomfortable to go there, so I decided to take Brother Heng and you out together. .”

After Zeng Shaosheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, he didn't feel embarrassed, he just smiled slightly, and then said to Heng Xiulin.

"That's great, let's go together."

Heng Xiulin nodded, and after giving instructions to the guards, he went out together with them. The guards were guarding here. Heng Xiulin could be said to be very at ease, so he went out with great peace of mind.

A group of people walked outside. Lanterns were hung up on the street at this time, so everyone could still see the surrounding environment clearly. Maybe they escaped from death, so it was extraordinarily lively outside tonight, that is, the restaurant All the seats were full of people, and the strong aroma of wine wafted out.

Seeing them walking forward, Heng Xiulin knew that they were not planning to eat here, so he said something to them immediately, and walked to the side restaurant by himself.

When the guy saw Heng Xiulin approaching, he greeted him enthusiastically. Heng Xiulin was standing with a group of literati just now. He was neither blind nor stupid. He knew that Heng Xiulin was the literati who saved Tianshui City. Literati, how can you be negligent.

"Young master, what about eating?"

The buddy said to Heng Xiulin with great enthusiasm.

"Send fifteen servings of your restaurant's specialty dishes to that small courtyard, as well as meals, understand?"

Heng Xiulin looked at Xiao Er, and he was not polite, and directly gave orders.

"Understood, I will tell the kitchen staff to make it for you first."

When Xiao Er heard the words, he immediately nodded repeatedly, and then said to Heng Xiulin that he was going to give instructions to the kitchen staff. Seeing this, Heng Xiulin quickly stopped him.

"Wait, how much money, tell me, I'll give it to you first."

Heng Xiulin said while paying for it. He is not here now. If he doesn't pay the money first, wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask the guards for money?These guards are guarding him, so he can't even afford to invite them for a meal?
"My lord, you are all literati. They saved my benefactor in Tianshui City. It was just a meal. If I take your money, the shopkeeper will have to kill me."

Hearing Heng Xiulin's words, the little girl smiled wryly, and then said to Heng Xiulin.

"Let's go, Brother Heng, they won't charge you money, I'll go eat later."

Seeing this, Zeng Shaosheng walked over directly, and then said to Heng Xiulin, he already knew about this situation. When he just returned to the city, there were many vendors with Their fruits and other things were delivered to their arms, but in the end they shied away for a long time.

Among them, there was one person who wanted to buy something to fill his stomach because he was a little hungry. The peddler didn't want money. You won't be taking their money.

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin was dumbfounded for a while, looked at the guys and felt that he really didn't know how to take money, so he left with them.

"Brother Zeng, have you finished dealing with the corpse of the big monster outside?"

Heng Xiulin suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Zeng Shaosheng who was on the side. Hearing this, Zeng Shaosheng's body froze immediately, and the people on the side all looked at Heng Xiulin with some resentment.

Heng Xiulin was taken aback by their eyes, and looked at them strangely.

"It's all been dealt with, but Brother Heng, did you do it on purpose? With so many corpses of big monsters, I'm going to waste my hand when I write the sacrificial scriptures. If I knew this, I couldn't let Brother Heng You just leave."

The reason why everyone looked at Heng Xiulin with such resentment was because there were so many corpses of the great monster. They just wrote the sacrificial scriptures, and they wanted to write them out of hand.

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin realized what everyone was doing for. Seeing this, Heng Xiulin smiled inwardly. He had really expected this.
