Chapter 872 Dividend Dispute

Both sides were staring at him. Liu Laizi also had a bachelor's personality and said directly: "Zhai Leader, we have been collecting road tax for more than a month!"

"Yes, the money has been distributed. Didn't it go to you?"

According to the agreement between Qianjin Village and Yuheng City, 20% of the road tax collected by Qianjin Village from the official road must be handed over, and 80% should be kept for its own use. Tao Lin divided the money according to the usual rules of the gang. The more you work, the more you get, and the less you work, the less you get.

People like Liu Laizi did not have the opportunity to work on official roads, so they could only stay in the village to do chores, and naturally they received less money.

"It's divided. Although the road tax money is small, at least it gave me one or two and a half silver." There is no problem in filling my belly. Then Liu Laizi changed his tone and said, "But you paid dividends, and twice, right?"

If it were in Yuheng City, how could anyone in the military camp dare to call "you" to He Lingchuan's face? No matter what, you have to respectfully say "Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief" or "Commander-in-Chief".

But there are not so many rules and regulations in the gangster den.

Tao Lin's answer was even more unpretentious: "You're not on the road, it's not your fault."

Liu Laizi looked around, as if he had drawn courage from others, and then he raised his head and said, "Since I don't have a role, why am I on the list?"

Tao Lin was stunned: "What list? Where is the list?"

Other gangsters chimed in: "The two dividend lists for Qianjinzhai and Qiuhua Gang were posted the night before in the seven or eight villages and towns in the area of ​​Roncun and Dabaoyan, as well as on the bulletin boards inside and outside Yuheng City."

"After counting, there are 286 people in our village who can share the dividends!"

"It's two hundred and sixty-seven! Can you read and count?"

"Not only are there Liu Laizi, there are also five cauliflowers under the willow on the list."

Others shouted: "Really, there are really cauliflower flowers? I haven't noticed yet."

Everyone laughed. She was a girl with a name that sounded like a man, but she actually ran a secret business near the village. She got an occupational disease because of it, and others jokingly called her "Cauliflower."

This is all on the dividend list, which is really ridiculous.

"There is also a baby born to the Wang family last year. His name is Wang Ying..."

"Wang Yingcai!"

"That's right, Wang Yingcai. Such a young kid!" He was also on the dividend list?

Everyone lives in Takigawa, not only the same village, colleagues, relatives, but also neighbors.

Everyone was talking so loudly that Tao Lin's head almost exploded and his heart felt chilly.

The dividend list has been posted!

Post it in public and make it public?

Oops!

Liu Laizi still looked at him eagerly: "Zhai Leader, you submitted this list, right? Since I am on the list, I also want to share the dividends!"

Tao Lin's confidant shouted sternly from the side: "Have you gone to guard the checkpoint? How dare you come to ask for money! You have no share!"

They themselves knew that the official dividend money, which was several hundred taels in size, was distributed to the Tao Village Master four days ago, and the Tao Village Master had already distributed it yesterday!

They were distributed to all the backbone water bandits in Qianjin Village.

But the names of these backbones were not on the dividend list reported by Tao Lin to Yuheng City.

Tao Lin is not stupid. It is impossible to report all the names of his subordinates to Yuheng City. If they fall out in the future, why not just catch them all?

Therefore, the dividend list was reported to the villagers and idlers around the village, and it was twice as many as the actual number!

The reason is also very simple. Tao Lin wanted to take more for the people around him, so he applied for an extra hundred people. Anyway, this subsidy was allocated by Yuheng City.

Liu Laizi raised his neck and said, "The announcement said that everyone on the dividend list will actually receive two taels of silver!"

Of course he didn't guard the road, but since he is on the official list, he deserves these two taels of silver!

Fourteen or five more people came out of the crowd, stood behind Liu Laizi and said, "My name is also on the list. Village leader, I also have a share."

They had been here a long time ago, and they were just waiting for someone to come forward and they gathered together to ask for money.

Tao Lin's confidant was about to curse again, but he pushed him away: "Get out!"

What's the use of adding fuel to the fire at this time?

He really didn't expect that Yuheng City would disclose the dividend list to everyone!

No one has ever done this before, no one!

Unreasonable!

But he did report the list himself. Now the people on the list come to him to ask for money. What should he do?

Self-defeating!

Seeing that he was stunned and speechless, Liu Laizi looked around and said, "Zhai leader, are you going to pay this money or not? Please give me an accurate answer!"

"Yes, it's up to you whether to send it or not!"

"We are on the list, how could we not send it!"

"If you don't send it out, what's the point of reporting our names?"

"Are we going to be the scapegoats in the future?"

As soon as the word "scapegoat" came out, Tao Lin's heart shuddered and he immediately said:

"What's the fuss about? Did I say I won't pay you?"

The noise stopped immediately, and everyone smiled: "The leader of the village is righteous!"

"Tomorrow, uh, dividends will be distributed in three days!" When Tao Lin said this, his heart was bleeding.

Then everyone left happily.

Looking at their departing figures, his confidants were worried: "Captain, isn't the dividend money already...?"

Already sent.

"Do you want to collect money from everyone?"

"What are you charging?" No matter how heartbroken Tao Lin was, he knew that it would be difficult to collect the money that was given out. The money given out could never be recovered.

This extra "dividend" can only be paid for by himself!

A few hundred taels of silver is tens of thousands of dollars, and he wants to give it to a lame groom, a widow, a secret prostitute, and a baby less than one year old!

This time, he was really tricked by the leader surnamed He!

And the dividends were not distributed once, there was another one, and the next one. It seems that the official would post a dividend announcement every time.

He could no longer claim it under the name of an outsider.

But He Lingchuan had already told him that Yuheng City had the accounts of the residents of Longchuan, and asked someone to bring them to him for "verification". Tao Lin broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it, because there was a high probability that they would match, and he didn't know how the other party could secretly obtain these information.

But in this case, it would not work to fabricate the names of the people who received the dividends and submit them to Yuheng City. Once both sides verified, they would be exposed and embarrassed.

Don't you want this dividend?

As soon as this thought came up, Tao Lin immediately crossed it out.

What a joke, telling the bandits that they don't want the silver from heaven? He doesn't want to sit in the position of village leader, right?

Then he can only report the real list.

Tao Lin calmed down and asked someone to come over: "Go and find out how the Qiuhua Gang handled this matter!"

Yuheng City's evil plan would not be used only on him, the Qiuhua Gang must have been tricked as well.

In less than half a day, the news came back:

Qiuhua Gang leader Xu Zeshou had not yet distributed the dividends, and as soon as the public list came out, he planned to distribute the money evenly, that is, the people on the list and the actual backbones would all get a share.

This also fits Tao Lin's understanding of Xu Zeshou: a stingy person, a miser.
