When Liu Hua heard Chen Jiaolin say that there was no money on the books, he was stunned: "No way? Didn't I just handed you five hundred taels of silver a few days ago? Why is it the bottom now?"

"You are so embarrassed to say that your way of spending money is so big that you can't say five hundred taels, even five thousand taels are not enough." At this point, Chen Jiaolin paused and continued: "Of the five hundred taels of silver, three hundred taels are going to buy swords, tables, chairs, benches and beds.

According to your requirements, the swords are made of fine steel, and the original price is four taels of silver per hand. After my bargaining, each sword shop has discounted one tael of silver. The expenses of the swords alone cost 180 taels of silver.

Your Liu Mansion is so dilapidated. I hired someone to clean the yard and cleaned up twelve houses. I simply painted these houses, and the remaining rooms have to be cleaned up slowly.

In these twelve rooms, a table, six chairs, and ten benches were purchased. The beds were customized according to the upper and lower bunks you designed. Each room had four such beds, and a total of thirty pieces were customized. These furniture cost 120 taels of silver.

Among them, you, me, Sun Shidong, and Chief Tong were all alone, including a large room with three rooms as an office space, and the other medium room as a canteen. The remaining seven rooms were in front of the police's residences. The total cost of this was 107 taels of silver. I wiped out the fraction and paid the other party 100 taels of silver. This cost 400 taels of silver.

Also, aren't you saying that the style of the police officers' clothes should be separated from the styles of the constables? I've asked a tailor to measure the size of the police officers. According to the style you designed, I specially customized two sets of clothes for each police officer, one for wearing and the other for replacement. These cost 50 taels of silver in total.

You train police officers these seven days. After each training, you have to hold a banquet to talk to the constables. Even if I save money all day, I have spent more than 80 taels of silver these days. You can do it yourself. Have I paid more than 30 taels of silver?

The remaining purchase of horses, purchase of interrogation, survey equipment, build stables, repair houses, custom-made archive cabinets, add canteen tableware, dining tables, stools, changing courtyard doors, police officers' monthly compensation, three meals a day...all are waiting for your money to be implemented."

"Damn... why can't you help spending so much?" After muttering, Liu Hua told Chen Jiaolin that he would find a way to get money today. After saying that, he walked towards Tong Zhen. After finding Tong Zhen, Liu Hua called Tong Zhen into the house.

"What? Do you want to fire all the casinos in Yangzhou City? Liu Hua, are you crazy?" Tong Zhen in the room jumped up after hearing Liu Hua's words: "Liu Hua, don't do anything randomly.

You go out and ask yourself where there is no casino now? In our Qing Dynasty, as long as there are people, it will have a casino. After so many years, the court has not managed this area. Why should you be the first to be a pioneer? Listen to my brother's advice, you should give up this idea."

"What are you worried about? A few casinos? In the past, the imperial court ignored this because I was not a constable at that time. Now I have become a constable, so I should take care of these cancers.

What a great opportunity. It is precisely because we have not managed before that those large casinos and gambling shops are open so unscrupulously. Now that we are responsible for the security environment in Yangzhou City, I think we have the responsibility to remove these cancers. Wait a moment, I will show you something."

Speaking of this, Liu Hua smiled slightly, then ran to the bed, snatched it on the bed for a while, and then he walked over with a thick book in his hand: "Chief, please take a closer look at this clause."

After hearing Liu Hua's words, Tong Zhen took the book that was a little curious. When he took it in front of him, Tong Zhen realized that it turned out that it was a book called "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty". After several days of hard work, Liu Hua finally found the "statement" he wanted.

The article says this. This dynasty strictly prohibits opening casinos and participating in gambling. Officials participate in gambling. They will be dismissed for two months and whipped one hundred times. They will not be redeemed. They will never be used to warn the latter.

Common people who commit gambling will be fined 1,000 yuan each. Anyone who makes gambling will be punished ten times the scale of their business benefits. If they fail to change their mistakes, they will be punished with punishment and a hundred poaches will be punished to serve as a warning.

After seeing this clause, Tong Zhen looked at Liu Hua with a surprised expression: "You are not here to be true, are you? Although the laws say that gambling is prohibited, no official has ever enforced this law. Do you know why?

Because those who open casinos are all powerful and powerful, and even some officials in various yamen have invested in the casinos. On weekdays, everyone is good, and during festivals, the owners of the gambling houses will take the initiative to respect the various departments.

Over the years, everyone has formed a tacit understanding. After receiving the filial piety from each other, the officials of those departments are also providing protection and convenience to each other in disguise. Now you are suddenly going to attack those casinos, which is no less than stabbing a hornet's nest. Brother, you have to think twice.

"Chief, I have my own sense of this matter. Don't worry. You will be responsible for organizing personnel at that time. I will lead the team to catch the gambling." After the words came, Liu Hua said lightly: "We are the police station, not the previous criminal arrest room. The constables in the criminal arrest room dare not investigate these casinos, but the people from our police station dare."

At noon that day, Tong Zhen ordered people to organize all the constables from the twelve county government offices of Yangzhou Prefecture to outside the prefecture. The people in the prefecture, including those constables, thought that they would hold another recruitment meeting, so no one took it seriously.

After all the constables arrived, Liu Hua looked at the more than a thousand constables in front of him, and then said lightly: "I called you brothers here today. There is nothing else to do, just to make some extra money.

I will lead the police station to perform a mission later. You can just follow me. At that time, just stand there to make up the number of people, but no matter what happens, you must not escape in the face of battle.

As long as the mission is over, the deputy chief officer will reward each of you with one or two silver coins on the spot. But if anyone retreats and drags us down, don’t blame me for being ruthless at that time.”

After listening to Liu Hua's order, the constables at the scene were both excited and curious, and said to himself: "Come on the number of people? What is this task? The reward is so generous? Hehe, it's worth it today."
