Chapter 68 Leave(2/2)
A life-size glass mirror and a mahogany clock.
"Are there no gold and silver coins?" Wang Zunde asked. He originally expected that the seized coins would be used to reward soldiers during the expedition.
"Except for all kinds of goods, Xinruan only found hundreds of pieces of brocade women's clothing. There were also hundreds of bolts of silk and cloth. In addition, there were dozens of boxes of women's jewelry."
"What's the use of this!" Wang Zunde shook his head in disappointment. These things cannot be rewarded to the army, let alone sufficient military pay. As for the price of the seized goods, it will take several months - and he knows that the officials below will inevitably handle such matters.
He also wanted to enrich himself. It would be good if he could pay back three or four taels of silver for the goods worth ten taels of silver and become an official. He suddenly began to doubt whether a lot of gold and silver had been embezzled by the people below - but when he thought that they could swallow up half of it at most, it was absolutely impossible.
I dare not place orders at all.
"I heard that Zizihao has a lot of contacts with various big stores in Guangzhou. Don't you have money deposited elsewhere?" Wang Zunde asked.
"Without an account book, I don't know the name or the number, so I can't trace him."
"Hmph, a notice will be issued immediately, asking each shop to report on its own and pay within a time limit. If you fail to report or pay within the time limit, I will not be lenient!"
"Yes." Lu Yizhong thought that the governor wanted to rely on bluff to force the merchants to obediently hand over the Australian payments - not to mention, Gao Ji would not buy it. It was still a proof that he had an account book.
However, it would be too ugly to be unable to pay even a penny. Lu Yizhong suddenly thought about it. At that time, no matter what, he would have to force the various brands that usually deal with Zi Zihao to give some money. This way
I should be able to get 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver. Although it is not enough to use as military pay, it is still enough to use it for rewards.
Lu Yizhong knew that by running for Tian Da this time, he had greatly lost Wang Zunde's heart. He decided to try to save something in this matter.
When the city of Guangzhou was in turmoil surrounding the things left behind at Guangzhou Station, Guo Yi and others had already withdrawn from the city. However, they were not too far away. Zhang Xin was sitting in the Dongguan branch of the Qiwei Escort Agency,
Directing the actions of the Escort Bureau. Now their main eyes and ears are the Escort Bureau. Some of the indigenous staff who were evacuated from Guangzhou also temporarily listened to his command and scattered around to inquire about news, especially news about the actions of the government troops.
As for Delong Bank, Meng Xian was also ready for the transfer - although everyone judged that Delong was not very dangerous - he backed up all the ledgers. All the original documents were transferred to a secret location for storage. The most important thing is
Several secret exchange accounts were handled by Delong for the high-ranking officials in Guangzhou. Some of the materials could become good materials for the censors to get wind of the matter. For the sake of safety, Meng Xian
It was also temporarily moved to a safe house in the city and hid first, allowing the shopkeeper to take care of everything on the cabinet.
Others were scattered to various counties in the Pearl River Delta and were hiding and waiting for opportunities. Yan Maoda simply went to Leizhou to discuss the next step of sugar industry cooperation and trade with Vietnam with Leizhou Station.
