Chapter Fourteen

"Ah! This group of bird-carrying squids! Brother Mu, why do you think I am a military household?" Shao Tingda sat irregularly on the bench in the tavern, bent his right leg and stepped on the bench, picked up two pieces of golden suckling pork, picked up the north side of the wine and drank two sips, slapped the chopsticks on the table, shook his head unhappily and said unwillingly to Chen Mu: "If we are a commoner, wouldn't it be beautiful to see the prosperity in this Guangzhou Mandian courtyard? Alas!"

House prices in the Ming Dynasty were not expensive. Even in Guangzhou Prefecture, you could buy a two-story house with four or five good locations for 40 taels of silver. If you bought it for 11 or 12 years, it would be enough for only ten taels of silver; if you said renting a house, it would be even cheaper.

As Shao Tingda said this, Qi Ding Fu Yuan showed an envious look at the table. Heiling Ye Zhan didn't even get a single victory and almost died under the thief's sword. Now, seeing Shao Tingda's wealth and awesome look, how can he not envy? Wei Balang, the dead child, couldn't understand what Shao Tingda was saying at all. He was a little confused when he held a small wine glass and tasted a sip of Nanjiu. He also held Shao Tingda's sour wine pot to fill himself, so he was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue.

However, Ishiki, who also had a winning look, showed yearning, then sighed, drank the wine in the glass, and snatched the wine pot from Kohachiro's hands in a desolate look.

"You just want to spend it if you have two money!" Chen Mu shook his head and smiled. Seeing Fu Yuan's envy and Shi Qi's worries, he held the wine glass and sighed: "This time I'm lucky to have escaped from death. I'm glad to receive the reward. Come on, brothers, drink a drink together!"

Guangzhou Prefecture rewarded the Heiling thieves with four taels of silver and one head. Chen Mu's subordinates handed over all eight captives to Zhang Yongshou in exchange for more than thirty taels of silver. Chen Mu got twenty taels of silver alone, and Shao Tingda also got twelve taels of silver. This made Shao Tingda, who had never seen silver, was very happy. He almost hugged Chen Mu and cried bitterly. Shi Qi, who had killed a thief, also got four taels of silver, and everyone's waist bags were bulging.

This money may be just a meal when putting it in the hands of a big merchant. Just like when I watched "Jin Ping Mei" in my previous life, the official Ximen gave Wang Po who was free to give her 10 taels of silver, but in fact her purchasing power was not weak at all, and she had been paid half a year as the magistrate's salary.

Of course, this is also because the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were not high.

Everyone drank a cup together. Chen Mu then smiled and took out a tael of silver and put it on the table. He pointed at Fu Yuan and said, "Although you didn't get it, you didn't run away. I saw you fighting with the thief. Take these two silvers and go back to Qingyuan to subsidize your family."

As he said that, Chen Mu slapped the dead child holding a wine glass and drank the back of the head. He also gave a tael of silver and said, "I, Daming Lu, the two of them killed a thief together. The master will record the merits and give them real teachings, and the servant will reward silver. Xiaobalang has made great contributions to the medicine, so he hid it and went back to buy rice to eat!"

Wei Balang foolishly put the silver in his arms when he heard Chen Mu's words. He looked like he really planned to go back to buy rice by obediently. Fu Yuan widened his eyes and looked at the silver on the table. He was stunned for a few breaths before swallowing his saliva and asked in disbelief: "Chen Xiaoqi, is this mine?"

"Take it, it's not this time to get rich. I'll try to cut my head when I meet the enemy next time." Chen Mu ignored Fu Yuan's surprise and waved his hand to ask him to take the money, and then said: "After drinking, go and invite a doctor to come over and see if Old Man Zheng's legs are cured, and I'll pay the medical treatment... I'll pay the medical treatment."

Fu Yuan nodded quickly, and didn't even drink wine without saying a word. He put the silver in his arms and greeted Chen Mu and walked out. He said hello to Fu Yuan at this moment, he didn't believe it, but he didn't believe it if he said that this emotion could last until three days later.

For Chen Mu, this matter is nothing more than losing money and avoiding disasters. One tael of silver is not a small amount of money, but there is always something more important than money. If you cannot even share the benefits, it is easy to cause disaster. To put it bluntly, Qingyuanwei, except for the younger brother Shao Tingda who has some blood relationships and the dead child who knows nothing but only knows obediently, no one in the world can let Chen Mu believe it.

When giving Wei Balang silver, Chen Mu just thought it was for the children to spend money. He didn't think that Fu Yuan could do anything for him, as long as it could make people not be bad about his intentions.

As for Old Man Zheng, there is nothing he can do. He must not ignore his subordinates when they are injured, otherwise who will dare to fight to the death next time he encounters a battle. But to be honest, Chen Mu thinks that Old Man Zheng is in trouble. He just lets Fu Yuan go to the doctor and leaves his power to do his best to see if he can bring Old Man Zheng back alive. Even if he can take him back, he will probably not be able to survive in Qingyuan for two months.

To be honest, the feeling of throwing money everywhere is like dust... It's so fucking good!

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Shiqi toasted Chen Mu and said it was 'righteous'. Then he went back to the room to take care of Old Man Zheng. Only Shao Tingda and Xiaobalang were left on the table. Seeing Shao Tingda having a lot of worries, Chen Mu asked, "What do you think about, how can you be so bitter?"

Shao Tingda drank a lot of soy wine, and his eyes were red and his face was thought for a while, then he felt as if he had made up his mind to discharge five taels of silver from his waist bag, and said to Chen Mu: "Brother Mu, why don't we make up ten taels, and you can take the time to send it to Baibaihu... Baihu is very good to us, we have to be sensible and respectful."

"whispering sound!"

Chen Mu laughed as soon as he heard this, then he was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and his heart was full of twists and turns. Then he reached out and pushed the silver back, saying, "Bai Baihu is a person who does big things, and he doesn't like this little silver. Those who should be filial have long been filial, otherwise why do you think your brother's monthly salary is only three stones at the seventh rank?"

Zhang Yongshou had nearly 40 taels of silver in the first-level business, and Bai Yuanjie's family background was not bad at all. Can the hereditary hundred households be short of these ten taels of silver? Instead of giving ten taels of silver, it would be better to be like now. What's more, even if he wanted to bribe, it would be Chen Mu who paid for bribes himself, so how could he use Shao Tingda's money to bribe.

Chen Mu knew this time that military households are poor, and officers have money, especially those who have ancestors like Zhang and Bai have been commanders of the garrison stations. Thousands of military households in the garrison stations are like servants, and half of the military fields are owned by officers. It would be strange if they can be poor!

"You keep the money steadily. What he wants is not money, but your and my brother's life." Chen Mu said softly, then said two words heavily, "Terror."

Shao Tingda curled his lips. Although he took the money back, his eyes were red, but he could not see any drunkenness. He whispered to Chen Mu: "Bai Baihu is good, brother, don't say that. If Baihu were not blocking him, our brother might not have survived until now."

Seeing Chen Mu's face showing confusion, Shao Tingda whispered: "Let's take eight heads. I didn't dare to sleep that night. Zhang Xiaoqi and others saw that we were like wolves at night. I saw what Bai Baihu told Zhang Xiaoqi. Later, Zhang Xiaoqi said that buying the head from you, and that feeling of fear disappeared. The next day, Zhang Xiaoqi sent someone to drag a military household into the forest to kill... Brother, you don't count. We killed fifteen thieves, and the chariots and horses carried twenty-one corpses. Chen Guan and the five military households who died had their heads been remembered."
