Chapter 103: Face Changing
Lin Xing looked at Li Yanting again: "Master Li, please come and bear witness in person."
Li Yanting was worried about Lin Xing and the others, and wanted to stop them, but Lin Xing spoke in person, and it was hard for him to say anything.
Zhao Jie even tugged at Lin Xing's sleeve. Even if there was no news about Zhou Yan, the Zhao family still had a man like him, so why should he take advantage of Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi?
What's more, the appetite of these two people will only grow bigger and bigger. The Zhao family has a big business and doesn't care about the money, but they don't want to encourage others' arrogance!
When Qi Shaokang saw that both of them were blocking Lin Xing, he felt that Lin Xing was afraid of them.
He quickly said: "Since Madam has said that we must settle the matter, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao, we should listen to Madam Lin. Qi believes that Madam will act fairly and is willing to do what Madam wants."
Lin Xing nodded, with a smile on her lips, waiting for Qi Shaokang's words!
"A maid in the Zhao Mansion, calculated as a eldest maid, costs one hundred and fifty cents per month, which is five cents a day. The Zhao Mansion usually spends four maids cleaning the yard. We stayed in the prefecture for less than three days.
For three days, the total is sixty cents."
"The cost of food for one person in the Zhao family per day is twenty taels of silver. Zhao Jie and I, including Chun Mian Chunxiao and the others, will cost you fifteen taels of silver."
"The manpower cost of giving porridge is calculated with the maids of the Zhao family. There are eight soldiers in the palace to give porridge. The total cost for these three days is one hundred and twenty cents."
"As for Qizhi County flattering us, although Zhao Jie and I did not notice it, since Qizhi County said so, then it will be considered as your ten taels of silver a day, and Qin Tong will make a total of sixty taels."
Even though Lin Xingming had marked the price now, the price was far lower than the two expected, but with Li Yanting by their side, it would be good for them to get it.
What's more, the total price given by Lin Xing is already their annual salary.
"Qi Zhixian and Qin Tongpan, I will give you a round number and give you a total of eighty taels of silver. How about that?"
Lin Xing's words made Qi Shaokang and Qin Guangqi dizzy, each wanting to take the eighty taels of silver as their own.
They nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, of course it's okay."
"Well, since your accounts have been settled, let's settle mine." Lin Xing chuckled.
Hearing this, Qi Shaokang suddenly woke up. He raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "What? Your debt? What is your debt? You have been eating and living in my house these days, and I still owe you."
?”
"Since Qi Zhixian and Qin Tongpan treat me as an outsider, then my contribution must also be accounted for." Lin Xing asked back, "Are you two just in and out, only enjoying the benefits of outsiders, and not looking in the mirror?
Do you think you are worth it?"
Qi Shaokang wanted to retort, but was afraid of Li Yanting. Qin Guangqi pulled his arm and whispered: "What else has she been doing in the house these days? I think she is just bluffing, hoping that we will retreat in the face of difficulties.
"
Qi Shaokang really felt that what he said made some sense, so he clasped his hands and said, "Let me see what tricks you can come up with."
Seeing this, Lin Xing continued: "These days in the refugee camp, charlatans have diagnosed a total of 215 people as hopeless, and I, Lin Xing, have rescued them one by one, and the diagnosis fee is not much.
Based on Cangzhou’s consumption level, it’s ten taels of silver per person, totaling 2,150 taels.”
"Wha, what?" This was the first time Qi Shaokang had heard of such a large amount. He quickly stopped, put his hands on his forehead, and leaned against the boy beside him, "How much did you say? Two thousand one hundred and fifty taels? You
Why don't you go and rob it? Why do things in the refugee camp concern me? My private treasury and state affairs do not interfere with each other!"
"Mr. Qi, what do you mean by this? Officials serve the country and the people. Since you have become an official, whether you are a county magistrate or a town magistrate or a village magistrate, you treat the family and the country as one, without distinction. Why do you take this matter so seriously?"
So cleanly removed from yourself?" Li Yanting frowned, "So what if it's 2,150 taels? A human life only costs 10 taels, and Mrs. Lin is really the reincarnated living Buddha."
Lin Xing never expected that Li Yannian would praise her so much. She wiped a cold sweat and saw that Qi Shaokang stopped talking and said: "It was just my medical fee. I was busy in the refugee camp."
In the next two days, as the mistress of the Zhao family in Yuzhou City, and with my medical skills, I’ll charge you ten taels a day, isn’t it expensive?”
Qi Shaokang's body slowly sank a little.
Lin Xing added: "I didn't want to care about these nonsense, but Qi Zhixian is still plotting with me to flatter the horse, so naturally I can't be at a disadvantage. I am giving porridge in the Zhixian County, not only has Jinshui Post House
The meal money you offered me, plus the five hundred taels I subsidized myself, the contribution of giving porridge is enough to quadruple the salary of the county magistrate. I only count the part of my subsidy and the salary of the county magistrate for three years after the increase."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xing said: "The total is 3,120 taels. After deducting most of what you deserve and giving you a fraction, the total is 3,000 taels. I wonder when Qizhi County will hand it over to me?"
Qi Shaokang's eyes darkened, he simply gave up and pretended to faint.
Lin Xing could tell at a glance that he was pretending, and she chuckled and said: "Qizhi County, do you think you will wake up on your own, or I will help you wake up? If I wake you up, I will charge another twenty taels."
The medical fee is enough!"
Qi Shaokang opened his eyes and said blankly: "Why are there ten more taels?"
"Isn't this what you agreed to just now? You and Qin Tongpian are very flattering to me and Zhao Jie. Each of us is worth ten taels. Isn't it ten taels plus the original consultation fee, which is twenty taels?"
"..."
"Pfft." Zhao Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that several people's eyes were on him, he straightened his expression and said: "Since the money has been calculated clearly today, if you default for one day, you will be fine."
When there is a day's interest, we won't calculate it with you. The interest is only calculated at five cents. One day's interest is fifteen cents. How many days do you want to settle the payment?"
Qi Shaokang felt dizzy again. He pinched Renzhong to prevent himself from fainting again.
As expected, they started out in business, and the Zhao family are all arithmetic wizards.
He really can't fight!
He looked at Lin Xing and forced out a smile: "Mrs. Lin, what are you talking about? Isn't this an acquaintance with me? You are an honored guest brought by His Highness the Crown Prince, and you only talk about money but not money.
Are you hurting your friendship? Qi is just joking with you, you must not take it seriously!"
Lin Xing shook her head: "You are joking with me, but I am not joking with you. Mr. Qi, how can I dare to continue living in this prefecture? It costs me eighty taels in just three days. If I continue to live there, I can't."
