Chapter 745 Forced Conscription 4
"Oh, what madam said is also reasonable. Since madam wants to share the emperor's worries with me, it would be too unreasonable for me to refuse." As soon as money was mentioned, the magistrate immediately changed his attitude. With a strong and non-negotiable tone in the first minute, a pair of eyes full of radiance swirled wantonly on Lu Ziwan's body, and said, "Then let's exchange it for 1 taels of silver per person."

"1 taels!" Lu Ziwan exclaimed, "Master Zhifu, is this too much to worry about? I am an ordinary family, where can I get so much money?"

"Since there is no money, why talk about a way to share the worries?" The magistrate's face changed again when he heard that there was no money, even worse than before, as if he was impatient and wanted to drive people away.

"There is silver! But there is no 1 taels. Mr. Zhifu, go and see the ordinary people in Fencheng. A few families can get 1 taels of silver!" Lu Ziwan was slightly angry. It is not 1 yuan in the 21st century. At this time, one tael of silver is equal to 1 yuan in the 21st century. How much is 200 taels?

200 million! How many zeros must there be after 2!

The Lu family has only made a fortune for a year, how can there be so much money?

"Whether you have it or not is beyond the scope of my worries." The magistrate instead smiled with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Well, one is not within your concern!" Lu Ziwan was angry, "Your Majesty, dare to ask, you compulsorily conscription is in accordance with the order! If so, you can show us the imperial edict!"

"Do I still need an imperial decree to share the emperor's worries? This is the conscription of the whole dynasty, not just our city of Fen." The magistrate laughed, "You wait for the untouchables and still want to read the imperial decree? Wishful thinking!"

"In that case, it's not following orders!" Lu Ziwan clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, "Master Zhifu, if you do this, you won't be afraid that people will poke the matter in front of the emperor?"

"The emperor has a lot of things to do in the palace, but not everyone can see them if they want, madam, are you joking with me?" The magistrate laughed arrogantly.

"Others can't see it, but if I want to see it, I will definitely see it!" Lu Ziwan's extremely firm tone made the magistrate slightly stunned, "Master Zhifu, my surname is Lu, my name is Lu Ziwan, my husband, even Guan Lang, do you think if I want to see the emperor, will I be able to see him?"

"Lu Ziwan?" The magistrate looked at Lu Ziwan suspiciously and repeated her name several times, and then he was shocked, "Are you one of the girls who cured the plague?"

"Yes! Before my husband and I came to Fencheng, we were summoned by the emperor to meet the saint. Mr. Zhifu, do you think I, a pariah like me, can see the imperial edict? If I go to the capital, tell me, can I see it? Your Majesty!" Lu Ziwan was filled with righteous indignation and asked the magistrate who was full of surprise.

Perhaps it was Lu Ziwan's attitude that angered the magistrate, and he slammed his palm on the table, "Are you threatening me? Even if you are Lu Ziwan, so what if you meet the emperor! I Let me tell you, I have never been afraid of anyone in my life, let alone threatened by anyone!"

"Compulsory conscription, use conscription to fill your own pockets, tell me, is this threat enough!"

"My lord will wait for you to sue!" The magistrate raised his hand, "I still say the same thing, I want someone, okay, 1 taels per person!"

Lu Ziwan didn't expect the magistrate's attitude to be so tough, and he didn't have the slightest sense of fear when it came to this.

"Do you really think that this official is as stupid as your wife? Even if the emperor really asks, this official will say that he is worried about the emperor. Tell me, will the emperor still punish this official? What evidence do you have to prove that this official uses conscription? Fill your pockets?"

Lu Ziwan's body trembled slightly, what a magistrate, no one can beat such a meticulous mind!
Lu Ziwan sat back on the chair in a somewhat dejected manner, 1 taels per person, how could there be so much money at home?Unless you take out all the family assets, and then pawn all the gifts from the Bai family and the rewards from the emperor and queen mother, maybe you can barely make up 1 taels.
