178 More than 20,000 taels, small money?

When Chen Mo was studying before.

The teacher once told them that disaster relief in ancient times was mostly done in the following ways.

One is to directly distribute money so that the victims can buy food on their own.

There is also an implicit form of relief, which is to recruit hungry people to build water conservancy projects, also called work relief. This method not only relieves the victims but also reduces the burden on the country.

After the disaster situation stabilizes, the state will conditionally lend grain, production tools and even fields to the victims so that the victims can resume production and become self-reliant. Usually, the people in the disaster area will also be exempted from taxes and grain for several years.

But the teacher said that, but he didn't teach him how to implement it specifically.

Chen Mo doesn't understand this either.

Therefore, he wanted to recruit some people who had been officials. Since they were in officialdom, they knew something about it, and let them help him manage it.

Chen Mo only needs to be responsible for specific decisions.

In the end, Chen Mo recruited six people.

The four of them were just ordinary petty officials. They had done the job of arresting people in the county government and knew some laws of daily life.

Chen Mo asked them to go to the east, west, south, and north of the city to be the leaders in charge of the affairs to prevent the refugees from rioting in the relief center.

There are two other people, and the one who has managed the documents is called Shen Tong.

The scholar Fu Bi wrote the complaint.

Chen Mo sent several soldiers to the two of them and asked them to restore the county government in Tianhe City to its previous functions and deal with some crimes.

After the chaos, someone must have taken the opportunity to commit crimes, so Chen Mo planned to set up the Tianhecheng County Government's grass-roots team first and let them deal with these matters.

After explaining all these things.

The sky has darkened.

Chen Mo planned to spend the night in Luo Mansion and asked his men to clean up a room and come out.

At this moment, Luo Zhen found Chen Mo and said that he had a secret to tell her.

"Zhen'er, what's wrong?" Chen Mo hugged Luo Zhen into his arms, feeling a little itchy in his heart. He could think of all the postures he wanted to do later.

Young people have strong energy and blood, especially Chen Mo who practices fire-stimulating skills. With a great beauty by his side, if he could, Chen Mo would not be able to have sex every day.

No wonder there is that poem.

The spring night is short and the sun is high, so the king will not go to court early from now on.

And Chen Mo happens to be such a... romantic person.

Holding each other in their arms, they didn't mind the mud smeared on Luo Zhen's face, and directly kissed Luo Zhen's red lips, while also dishonestly inserting their hands into her linen clothes...

"There is someone." Luo Zhen pushed Chen Mo hard, her face turned red.

"It's okay...they won't come without my order."

Chen Mo looked at the figures in the distance. They were all patrolling Luo Mansion. Moreover, it was dark and there were no candles around, so how could he see them.

Hearing this, Luo Zhen's heartbeat quickened. While she was looking forward to it, she also felt an inexplicable tension and excitement. This was happening outside. At the same time, she also felt a kind of secret joy.

At least my body can attract him.

Luo Zhen avoided Chen Mo's kiss, and then said shyly: "Sir, I'll be with you tonight... okay? I have something to tell you now."

Stopping what he was doing, Chen Mo pinched Luo Zhen's cheek and let go of her: "Go ahead."

"Follow me." Luo Zhen led the way.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then followed behind.

The Luofu Mansion is very large, somewhat like a Suzhou garden. There are several courtyards, but now they are all in a state of ruin.

Luo Zhen took Chen Mo to the backyard of Luo Mansion.

It was pitch black here, and the surrounding trees blocked out the moonlight.

Luo Zhen groped forward.

Chen Mo stepped forward, grabbed her hand, then bent down to pick up a lantern that had fallen to the ground next to him, and lit the candle inside.

The dim yellow light shone from the lantern, giving this place some light.

"It's so dark. If I bump into it, I'll feel bad." Chen Mo took a lantern and took a photo next to it, and then said, "Tell me, what are you looking for? I'll take you to find it."

Luo Zhen was startled, and then a heartwarming smile appeared on her face. She also held Chen Mo's hand with her backhand and said softly:

"If you have too much money, people will care about you. So every time I have money, I will take out a sum of money from the account and exchange it for gold ingots. Then I will dissolve the gold ingots into gold bricks and bury them in a place where only I have money."

A place I just knew.

If we fail in the future, we can use these bricks to make a comeback.”

After saying that, with the help of light, Luo Zhen found the room where she once lived and walked over immediately.

Almost all the things in the room that could be moved were moved away, and those that couldn't be moved were smashed.

Luo Zhen walked to the door and let go of Chen Mo's hand.

Then Luo Zhen looked back at the door.

After walking six steps forward and thirteen steps to the left, just when Chen Mo was confused, Luo Zhen said, "This should be it."

Luo Zhen pointed to her feet.

"Huh?" Chen Mo walked over.

Luo Zhen immediately explained: "June 13th is my birthday. Therefore, the place where I buried the gold brick is the room where I live. Go six steps forward and thirteen steps to the left."

"It's yours." Chen Mo used his true energy to condense a shovel, then asked Luo Zhen to get out of the way, and said, "How deep was it buried?"

"Three feet." Luo Zhen said.

Then Chen Mo started digging.

After a while, as he dug out a hard iron box, Chen Mo's face lit up: "I found it."

"It seems he's still there." Luo Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although only I knew this location, there were some people around me who were waiting on me at the time. With so many people watching, it was inevitable that I would be seen, which would lead to the leakage of the information.

Now it seems that Chen Mo is overthinking.

Chen Mo lifted the iron box out of the soil, asked Luo Zhen to hold the lantern, and opened the iron box by himself.

There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven gold bricks in it. According to Luo Zhen, each one weighs one kilogram.

In the Song Dynasty, one kilogram was sixteen taels.

One tael of gold and twelve taels of silver.

After some calculation, it’s almost more than 20,000 taels.

For Chen Mo, who currently needs 64,000 taels for a simulated recharge, more than 20,000 taels is just a small amount of money.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not show a look of joy on his face.

"Sir, are you unhappy?"

The moment the iron box was brought out, Luo Zhen was always paying attention to Chen Mo's expression, hoping to see his excitement. After all, Luo Zhen planned to give him a surprise.

More than 20,000 taels is a huge fortune for a commoner.

Ordinary people can never earn so much in their lifetime.

"I'm happy, who said I'm not happy?"

"But why am I not excited at all when I see you?"

"It's just a small amount of money, why am I excited?"

"More than 20,000 taels, a small amount of money?" Luo Zhen's expression froze.

...

Although more than 20,000 taels is a small sum of money to Chen Mo, it can do a lot of things.

Chen Mo called Gao Zheng and asked him to buy some maids and cooks.

The price can be higher.

Although human life in this world is no longer worth a lot of money.
