"unlucky!"

On the way from Heyuan to Qingyuan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Shao Tingda spitted all the way, talking nonsense.

The way to escort the people back home was completely different from what these military households imagined. It would be fine if the people did not eat a pot of slurry to welcome the royal army, but instead avoided them.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Tao and the 100 Heyuan people were around them, there might be no refugees who were willing to let them escort them, but this had nothing to do with Shao Tingda's scolding for being unlucky.

The reason for his bad luck was that he was rushing to the night. At night, the roadside was like a mass grave, and the coffin and corpse-rolled mat were placed three miles away, causing him to curse and walk all the way.

When they set out, more than 500 people walked straight on a boat. After the return journey, Zhang Yongshou's subordinates had only collected more than 300 people and rushed to the road in a silence.

But Chen Mu's heart was hot.

Although he was unable to recruit family soldiers as Bai Yuanjie said, when he said goodbye to Li Tao, the people of Heyuan rescued from the traitors raised twenty silver for them and thanked him for helping him regain his bags.

Bai Yuanjie is much more bare than Chen Mu, and took away ten ingots in front of Zhang Yongshou.

As soon as Zhang Baihu reached out, Bai Deputy Qianhu turned around and pushed the wooden plate with the remaining ten ingots of silver to Chen Mu, and then patted Zhang Baihu's hand back, "It's not your business, are you going to be ignorant of your conscience with this money?"

Zhang Baihu was so angry that he jumped straight, "It's okay for you!"

Bai Yuanjie rolled her eyes and said, "Chen Erlang is a subordinate of Bai, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhang Baihu choked on these words. Zhang Yongshou looked at Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie, and angrily said. When he was halfway through, he turned his head and scolded the general flag behind him, "If you don't take it, don't take it - why laugh? Look at others and see you, they are all general flags, and they are still laughing!"

Zhang Yongshou got angry and frightened the flag behind him so much that his face turned pale and almost fell to the ground. However, Zhang Baihu cursed and laughed, and waved his hand and said, "You two should take it away. Zhang doesn't like this little money either."

"But we must first agree that when Mr. Zhang becomes the governor of Qingcheng, I have to have a share of everything. Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will not run away for you!"

Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu responded with a smile. The war this time was too great and their merits were too strong. Bai Yuanjie was not in contact with him, and Zhang Yongshou was better, otherwise he would have to give the court a reward and let him go.

After sending Zhang Yongshou away, Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu got together and asked in a low voice: "The ox, carriage, have they been sold?"

Chen Muzhong focused his head, looked around, and then replied: "I asked Shiqi to sell it, and together with those unclaimed silk, silk, satin, porcelain pots, calligraphy and paintings, they sold thirty-four ingots of silver."

"It's good to sell it. Those things are too conspicuous when returning to the return journey. The cattle and horses still cost the fodder. Go back to Qingyuan and buy some cattle and horses."

Bai Yuanjie nodded and mentioned to Chen Mu: "You keep all the money. When you are a senior citizen, you must have to deal with it. There are many places to spend money, don't tell others about this."

Chen Mu knew it, and then the two of them pretended that it was okay, and they led their troops to return.

But several banner officials under Chen Mu couldn't help but reach into their arms along the way. Those who didn't know what kind of disease they had were going to scratch it!

I have nothing to say all the way back to Qingyuan.

It was almost September, and a war lasted for half a year. When he returned home, Shao Tingda's eldest son would call him father. The stupid child would say this word. He called him father when he saw him, which made Shao Tingda, who had just returned home, very angry.

The atmosphere of the Qianhu Office in Qingcheng was not good, or the atmosphere of the entire Qingyuanwei was very sluggish. The letter of the death flag army had been sent back a long time ago. All the funerals should be done, and the things that were not done were finished were finished crying, but no one complained.

Shao Tingda said: "This is their life, and it is our life. Death is life, and living is life."

Each family selected the official position of the flag army from the Yu Ding, and combined with more than a dozen township heroes who were willing to go to Qingyuan with Chen Mu, Chen General Banner returned from the war and was seriously over-the-job.

This made Chen Junye fulfill his wish and recruit all the local heroes as servants, including Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, and the servants were worth twenty, and temporarily stayed in the General Banner Office next to Anyuan Post.

They were the first batch of full-time warriors under Chen Mu's army, but how much is the "leisure" treatment? Chen Mu has not yet made a secret thought about how to make a profit, so that he can maintain his combat power higher than his subordinates' guards and within the range he can afford.

Chen Muzheng was planning the treatment of family soldiers at his desk and the plan to recruit five other supporting staff, including chefs, servants, grooms, etc. Qi Zhengyan stepped in and whispered: "Master Chen, the banner officials are here."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Qi Zhengyan was calling him. He was surprised that his ability to accept his identity changes was quite strong. He nodded and said, "Please invite them in."

As soon as the wooden door of the General Banner Yamen was closed, five small banner officials came forward to salute Chen Mu. After the salute, only Xiaobalang sat on the stool and swayed with two short legs. Seeing that the remaining four general banners were still standing, he hurriedly stood up again.

Halfway through standing, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Sit down, it's not your business."

Shao Tingda carried a small cloth bag and slapped it on the table.

Bang!

"Brother Mu, when did I see so much money? This money makes me feel anxious and I'm afraid of losing it all the way!" Shao Tingda, who put down the cloth bag, felt relieved, "You bit of it, there are not a lot of ten ingots of silver."

With Shao Tingda taking the lead, Fu Yuan, Shi Qi and Lou Qimai also took out the silver ingots stuffed on their hands and placed them on the table. In a blink of an eye, the silver ingots like a hill were piled up on the table, and the candlelight shone brightly.

Although everyone's eyes and expressions looked at Yinzi were different, without exception, no one fled with Yin.

Chen Mu's opinion, this is the most critical point.

Thirty-four ingots of silver are all ten taels of ingots. Including the ten ingots shared by Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie in person, it is a total of four hundred and forty miles.

The gains from this battle are much more than Chen Mu imagined, and now, the time for sharing the spoils has come.

Chen Mu nodded and stood up, walked to the front of the case and shipped out five ten taels of silver ingots, first threw them to Wei Balang sitting aside, and then said to the few people: "It depends on your fighting life. The rewards from the court have not yet arrived. Each person will go back to subsidize the family income. The debts owed should be paid back, and parents who are alive should be filial to them."

There was not much silver in one ingot, but the few small flags did not show any excess expressions. This money was an unexpected fortune for them. What they really looked forward to was the reward from the court. Now they just wanted to see how Chen Mu distributed the silver.

"Beishan, Xinjiang Town, the military achievements are in chaos." After that, Chen Mu shipped out five more ingots and said, "The living people will be rewarded by the court. Each of the dead flag soldiers will be one or two taels. You will send them to your brothers and their families for Chen."

Fu Yuan first reached out to hold the silver, held it in his hand, and then looked at Chen Mu hesitantly and asked: "The General Banner, six people died in the Beiye Banner, and four taels remain?"

The one who was the most greedy for the banner officials was Fu Yuan, but the one who was the most sensible and had a wink was Fu Yuan. Chen Mu was waiting for anyone to ask about this, because no banner under his banner was killed.

He smiled and said, "If you have too many, just treat Chen as a reward for you and keep the flowers yourself!"

At the blink of an eye, a hundred taels of silver were spilled out, but Chen Mu was very happy. He counted out four ingots and placed them on the corner of the table, and said to several people: "I will ask Juren Li to take the lead and introduce a student who cannot make a living without the imperial examination. In the past few days, you will be able to study for Chen. These are the Shu Xiu prepared by Chen for you."

Note: Shushuo, the meeting gift that students give to the teacher. The Meng master’s train of ten or twenty taels is enough, while the Shushuo master’s train of thirty to hundreds of taels is enough.
