I don''t know when there were five stacks of notes on the table. All of them were 20 yuan notes. They didn''t look like the brand-new notes just taken out from the bank. Some of them were old and all were change. Since the imperial parliament passed the job-related crimes act, collecting money has become a bit embarrassing. In the past, it was just a very common etiquette... Well, it was a little unusual. At that time, people''s attitude towards power money trading was not as extreme as it is now, and even regarded this behavior as a crime.


    You know, in the past, nobles and officials often gave each other small things, such as a box of gold coins, or a manor. Of course, it may also be one or two slaves whose gender is completely different from the master. These are normal human relations. Nobles are also happy to squander their wealth and prove their wealth and dignity to the people around them. There is nothing more decent than popping a gold coin when giving tips.


    Even in recent years, this is not a big problem. After the federal invasion, the whole society is in the process of reconstruction. Businessmen bought the power holders and obtained the qualification to develop the city, so as to ensure that their interests in the city will not be damaged. In other words, this is actually a contractual behavior. I give you money and you protect my life and property security. Only in this way can businessmen dare to put heavy money on the rise of a city!


    To some extent, this is a good thing. People''s habitual thinking has not changed due to social and institutional changes. It can even be said that the power money transaction at this time is more like an act of paying taxes to the Lord in advance. Businessmen are engaged in business construction in the territory. Of course, they should share some of the money they earn to the LORD before they can continue to operate, At the same time, it is normal to be protected by the Lord.


    However, with the improvement of the social system and all aspects, especially the abolition of the class hierarchy, which represents the feudal society, people began to pay attention to the harm of power and money trading, and also legislated to punish this behavior. This is a change of social collective consciousness. The public has a fast ability to accept new things in the new era. They have begun to comply with the trend, so they are very comfortable with some things that do not comply with the trend.


    Harry, who has been dealing with the investigation team recently, has this feeling. He feels that he has done nothing wrong, but he has done something wrong.


    When power reaches a certain level, it will inevitably attract money. Just as money accumulates to a certain amount, it will also attract power. This is a very normal thing. Because only when the two are entangled and attracted to each other, can they cause qualitative change of something.


    "This is ten thousand dollars..." Du Lin picked up the stack of banknotes and played with them. Although they were all old banknotes, they still made a pleasant sound with Du Lin''s playing, which was more pleasant than any kind of music in the world.


    The official swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Now he is not thirsty, "I don''t understand..." ten thousand yuan is not a small sum of money. In the eyes of many people, it is a huge figure. According to the statistics of the imperial Ministry of Finance in the first half of the year, among the minimum salary laws implemented in various parts of the Empire, the place with the lowest salary can also have 50 yuan a month, and the place with the highest salary is close to 60 yuan, which is an average. This 10000 yuan is the money that a person can save only after working for 15 years without eating or drinking.


    Even for this official, his monthly salary plus various miscellaneous subsidies is only 167 yuan. Of course, there must be some other unofficial benefits and income, but it will never exceed 300 yuan.


    Durin smiled. "Let me explain. Maybe you''ll understand."


    "These money are old bills without serial numbers. In the past three months, they have not passed through any bank. In other words, the money exists in this empire, but no one knows who the money belongs to now."


    "Do you know why many gangsters like to use old banknotes that are not connected and have not been circulated in a short time?" Turin asked a professional question. Of course, in the face of this problem, the official of the social service bureau can do nothing but shake his head. He really doesn''t know. Durin threw the money back on the table and stacked it with the other four stacks. "Because these money can avoid the tracking of the bank, I''m not sure how the bank tracks these numbers, but I know they also have a dead corner of operation, that is, these money has not entered the circulation range in a short time."


    "In other words, they are legal in anyone''s hands. No one can prove that the holders of these money have violated any law. At the same time, they will not cause any trouble when they re-enter the circulation link."


    "For example...", Du Lin looked at the official, and the official tore his collar. "If they are in your hand, they are also legal. No one can prove that you shouldn''t have them. They can''t do this, then everything is not a problem."


    The official''s breath was a little short. Two years ago, before the anti job-related crime act was passed, his actual income was very high, several times that of now, but after the anti job-related crime act was passed, his income fell sharply, so that he sold a real estate to pay off the bank''s loan. At that time, it was not a great thing to collect some money and do something, but now it is very difficult for him, "Mr. durin, I''m not sure... And even if I am willing to help you from my position, I can''t change the current situation. I''m just a specific person, although I have a little power..."


    "It doesn''t matter!" Doolin took out a handbag from the drawer under the low table and put the money in it. "You just need to tell me who can make a decision and ask him out to have dinner with us. You''ll know me. I''m a good talker and a very willing friend. Are we friends now?"


    He had put all his money in a humble kraft paper handbag, and then stretched out his hand. The official of the social service bureau looked at the paper bag with longing in his eyes. His mind is in a fierce struggle. He doesn''t want to take Turin''s money, because he doesn''t know whether taking Turin''s money will bring him more trouble, which is tantamount to handing over a handle to Turin. Today may just help him make an appointment with someone, and he may do other things in the future.


    But he was hot eyed and knew that Dooling was a bad person. He had heard from his friends about the story of Du Lin in Kaile gate. Kaile gate''s position in the imperial capital was so special that some ordinary imperial officials didn''t dare to act wild in it, but Du Lin did it. He not only made people hit the Keller gate, but also saw the little Keller who was beaten like a piece of shit the next day, which proved Dooling''s energy and ability. It''s a very simple decision not to collect money, but this decision may bring a series of serious consequences. It''s said that Turin is sometimes vindictive and stingy.


    Dooling looked at the struggle on his face and asked with a joking smile, "you''re rejecting my friendship!"


    This sentence was like the last straw to overwhelm the camel. The official of the social service bureau bit his teeth, squeezed out a smile, stretched out his hand again and held it tightly with Du Lin, "no, I was thinking about how to thank you for your generosity."


    "Generous?", Dooling laughed. He handed the bag to the guy. "You''re right. I''m a generous person!"


    After seeing off the official, Du Lin shook his head and went back to the living room to sit down. In fact, he can talk to Maggs about it, but it makes no sense. If he goes to Maggs for everything, it means that he is an incompetent person. Everyone''s ability is his value in society. When a person''s value becomes lower and lower, the "goods" around him will become cheaper and cheaper. When it is cheap to a certain extent, it will be destined to be sent to the discount area or even thrown into the trash can.


    To ensure their own value is the most correct way, and this is a small thing in itself. There is no need to take the high-level line.


    The problem of laying in southern cities has been solved. As Turing imagined, as long as enough money is spent, the mayors in the south are willing to cooperate with Turing''s business behavior. That can not only provide more jobs for a city, but also add a beautiful color to the city''s tax revenue.


    Now only the problems of Yilian and the imperial capital are left. Durin believes that the imperial capital is not a problem in the end. When he thought about the next series of steps, the telephone rang.


    This surprised him very much. This manor is his first time to come. Except for a few people, no one knows that he lives here now. The people who can call here are definitely not ordinary people. After the phone rang three times, he said, "this is FIGO Burton manor." this is the name of the manor, and Turin did not intend to change the name.


    The receiver was silent for about two seconds, and a very nice female voice sounded, "is it Mr. durin?"


    "Yes!"


    The sound became more pleasant, "Hello, Mr. durin, this is Nadia from southern commercial bank. I took the liberty to call you. I finally found this number. First of all, I need to apologize to you. I may have disturbed your rest. I hope you can forgive me. In addition, I wonder if I have the honor to visit you or invite you to meet?"


    The imperial central bank has just finished its move, and now it''s the turn of the southern commercial bank.


    Dooling thought about the schedule for the next few days and replied, "I have time tomorrow night!"
