Li Rizhi asked: "Bocheng County can be considered a big county, but it is probably not many landlords and wealthy families you mentioned who can make a hundred official status. After all, it's cash."

Without thinking, Tang Baoen said directly: "There are quite a few, with more than 100 households. When the officials were deceived into prison by Wu Penghui, there were more than 100 rich landlords and wealthy families who came to pay the money. In the following time, someone would probably pay it. Maybe it would reach 200 families. Although Bocheng County is a big county, the two hundred rich landlords and wealthy families have reached the limit. If you want more, you really can't get more."

When he said the number of 200 households, Chen Yingying said from the side: "Then even if each household pays 100 cents of money, wouldn't it be a huge fortune of 20,000 cents?"

Even Chen Yingying was a little surprised this time. It is true that the Chen family is a huge wealth, but 20,000 guan is definitely not a small number. Even in the Gyeonggi area, there are definitely not many families who can have a wealth of 20,000 guan.

Li Rizhi said: "This is equivalent to gathering the wealth of a county and being handed over to the leader of the horse."

Tang Baoen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there are more than 20,000 guan, because some landlords and old wealthy people have paid more money, and especially the largest rich people in the county. In order to get the front position, they want to get the most rewards from the emperor and the empress, so they compete very fiercely. Two families have even started selling land, and the remaining families have given Wu Penghui all the calligraphy, paintings and antiques left by their ancestors. If these gold, silver and treasures are counted as copper coins, plus the previous 20,000 guan, the total number is probably not as much as 30,000 guan."

Speaking of this, even Tang Baoen was smashed, and the money was 30,000 guan. This was an unimaginable number. If it was exchanged for silver, it would be 30,000 taels of silver.

Of course, if you really want to exchange copper coins for one or two silver coins, the actual exchange is never calculated like this, but it is probably just like this, and such a large number can basically make people crazy.

Thirty thousand stagnes of copper coins, such a large sum of money is almost impossible for the horses to take away, so they must be exchanged for gold, silver, or other jewelry, antiques and other things.

Li Rizhi said: "I asked you, have you noticed that Wu Penghui sent someone to other places to exchange cash for gold, silver, jewelry, or similar behavior?"

Tang Baoen thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I haven't noticed it before, but because I talked about this with other colleagues when I was in prison, some other colleagues have seen Wu Penghui send someone to send cash to the state. Maybe it's time to exchange it in the state. If it's too specific, the official doesn't know much."

As soon as he talked about the state, Tang Baoen suddenly became anxious. He said, "Sir, Supervisor, have you told Yanzhou about this matter in the county?"

Tang Baoen was very afraid of this case. If Li Rizhi notified Yanzhou, he would not only have hopeless career, but might also lose his head.

Li Rizhi said, "I haven't told Yanzhou yet that because I'm afraid of alarming the enemy, Zhen Mengde is very likely to be in the same group as Wu Penghui. If the news spreads, things will develop in a bad direction, and maybe there will be more trouble."

Tang Baoen kowtowed to Li Rizhi heavily and said, "Sir, I hope you will show mercy to your subordinates. As long as you give your subordinates a little time, the subordinates and colleagues are willing to make meritorious contributions. As long as it is your order, you will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Li Rizhi did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment. It didn't matter if he was silent, which scared Tang Baoen, who was kneeling down below, to death.

Tang Baoen shivered all over his body. Because he had been living in prison these days, his health was not very good, and he was bumpy all night. When he was frightened like this, he could no longer maintain his decentness. He was so scared that he peed his pants.

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Li Rizhi said to Tang Baoen: "I am willing to cover up for you and allow you to make meritorious contributions for your crimes, but you have this attitude, so what about the others? What about them? I don't know what they think, otherwise, you go out and discuss with them, want to make meritorious contributions for your crimes, and come back to tell me after the discussion."

Although Li Rizhi felt very disgusted with this matter, he had to face either a group of horses or a group of greedy officials. These people could not be considered good people, but things had happened and had developed to this stage. If he wanted to do nothing and let the case develop, then the most uncomfortable thing was the court. Not only would the emperor and the queen feel very uncomfortable, but no ministers in the court would feel better.

Of course, someone will inevitably gloat, but that is a few people after all. Even if Li Rizhi hates the people in this case, he must do something at this time. After all, he is an official of the court. Even if he doesn't want to whitewash the peace, he can only whitewash the whitewash at this time, and there is no other way.

Chen Yingying asked: "Rizhi, what do you want to do with this case? I feel that it is not difficult to solve it, but if you clean up the beginning and end, it will be quite troublesome."

Li Rizhi nodded slowly, sighed and said, "The Fengshan ceremony is imminent, but such a big scandal broke out, which made the court lose its face. As a minister, at this time, he could only do something that he usually didn't want to do."

Chen Yingying knew that Li Rizhi was talking about the truth, and there was no way to encounter such a bad thing. The most hateful ones were the two guys Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui. The bandits who read books were the most hated, and they were much worse than those bandits who only knew how to use brute force.

After a moment, Tang Baoen brought other officials into the lobby, and they knelt down for Li Rizhi.

Tang Baoen said: "Mr. Supervisor, the officials have discussed this matter. All officials have made meritorious contributions. They are willing to follow the leaders of the Supervisor. I hope that the Supervisor will not abandon them and give them a chance to reform themselves."

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "Since you have discussed it, the official will no longer talk nonsense. Now there are three things you need to do.

You are all locals, so you must be familiar with the local terrain. You can think about it first. If the horses left Bocheng County in batches, then if they met, they would probably meet. This is the first point that you have to do.

There is another second point, that is, you must immediately check the various projects responsible for the Fengshan ceremony in our county. What kind of projects have not been completed yet, so you must work hard to complete them. This is the second point you must do.

As for the third point, it is how to appease the rich and wealthy families in the county who want to meet the saint. This is the third point. You think about it now, and I want to take a break."
