I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 54

"I'll think about it again, and make a decision after a few days." Wei Fei thought for a while, and said to Wei Tu.

Even though he couldn't understand the "Book of Heaven" "Wu Yuanyun Spiritual Body" before, he could guess that it was worth a lot.

If he didn't understand Wei Tu's character, he would most likely hide this secret book on his body, and then slowly find a way to interpret it.

Now, with the addition of Kou Liang and Fu Zhizhou, he feels that the risk is a little uncontrollable.

"This is the second brother's business. I'm just making a suggestion for the third brother."

Wei Tu knows how to measure. After hearing this, he nodded and agreed with Wei Fei's decision without forcing him.

……

Three days later.

Xu Xianwei announced that the remnants of Wuyun Building had been arrested by him in Siyang Town and its surrounding villages, and the rest of the party was still fleeing.

Then, in front of all the common people, he beheaded several Wuyunlou martial artists on the grain drying field.

The onlookers fell silent, while the gentry standing in the crowd trembled a little.

In the evening of the same day, the gentry and wealthy households who had previously been "inflexible" and resisted law enforcement and arrests immediately pushed their wheelbarrows and sent their family's floating wealth to the military camp of Liujiabao.

"These properties are not monopolized by me. Everyone becomes an official for the purpose of getting promoted and making a fortune. I will take [-]% of it, and the rest will be distributed among you according to the rules..."

Belongings piled up in the living room.

Lieutenant Xu Xian called a group of military officers in, he glanced at the expressions on each military officer's face, then weighed Yu Ruyi in his hand, and said with a smile.

Among the group of military officers, there were naturally Wei Tu and Wei Fei, who looked at each other calmly and nodded.

Although the money in front of them is ill-gotten wealth, which was obtained by Xu Xianwei who blackmailed all the gentry and common people in Siyang Town, but it is difficult for them to change the overall situation... If they don't take it for nothing, they won't take it for nothing.

In addition, if they claimed to be Qingliu military officers and did not take the money, they would definitely be regarded as thorns in the eyes and flesh by Lieutenant Xu and the other military officers.

It is not good for the future and your own life.

Furthermore.

They are miscellaneous officials, and they are not qualified to be among the clean stream.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." After a pause, all the military officers showed joy and thanked Captain Xu.

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Xu nodded in satisfaction, turned his gaze to Wei Tu and another middle-aged military officer, and said, "Wei Jun envoy, Chu Jun envoy, this time you two will be responsible for distributing these property."

The voice fell.

Wei Tu and the middle-aged military officer clasped their fists to accept the order, and began to decide the size of the distribution of property according to the rank of the military officer in the house and the credit for the invasion of Liujiabao this time.

An hour later, the two teamed up to distribute the property in the house.

All the military officers were satisfied, and they didn't single out Wei Tu and the Chu army envoys on the issue of distribution.

And Wei Tu, as the "Military Envoy of the Capital", also received more than 40 taels of money.

In addition to the property looted during the invasion of Liujiabao, this time Wei Tu came to Siyang Town and gained more than 130 taels of silver.

These silver coins are enough to pay off the foreign debts he owed before, and there is still a lot of surplus.

"Tomorrow, we will pull out the stronghold, leave Siyang Town, and return to the county."

At the end of the meeting, Xu Xianwei said to a group of military officers.

But just as Weitu was about to step out of the living room, County Captain Xu called Weitu to stop Weitu and asked Weitu to stay for a while.

Wei Tu was slightly startled, and stood in the hall.

After the military officers left one by one, County Captain Xu took an ingot of gold from his belongings and stuffed it into Wei Tu's hand.

"Guardian, you made great contributions twice this time, and you forgot about this when you distributed the money to yourself. This is not a good habit."

County Captain Xu smiled.

"This..." Seeing the ingot of gold stuffed into his hand, Weitu was startled.

One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and this ingot of gold is about five taels, which means that this ingot of gold is equal to 50 taels of silver.

That's a lot of money.

It is equivalent to the share of a military officer.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." After wandering his mind for a while, Wei Tu calmed down and bowed to Xu Xianwei.

This time, when he distributed the property, it was not that he didn't know that he had made great contributions twice, but because he was worried that if he gave him too much money, he would turn against the Chu army envoy who was at the same level as him, so he received the same amount of money as the Chu army envoy.

"Follow Xu, the guards don't have to be too careful in the army..."

County Captain Xu walked up to Weitu, patted Weitu on the shoulder, and said this with a smile.

Then, before Weitu came back to his senses and realized the meaning of these words, Captain Xu waved his hand, signaling Weitu to back down.

……

"Could it be that Xu County Lieutenant has a different ambition?"

"This is the kindness that wins me over? Do you want to accept me as your confidant?"

Walking out of the living room, Wei Tu smacked Xu Xianwei's words for a while, thinking.

This time, it is a rule in the Xiang army to distribute money to the military officers, and County Captain Xu can't take all the benefits alone.

Regardless of money, the next time Lieutenant Xu wants to command the Qingshan County Xiang Army like a wave of his arms, it will not be so easy.

The military officers were dissatisfied.

It is difficult for Xu County lieutenant to command the army.

However, after the military officers left, Captain Xu gave him money in private, which meant something changed immediately.

This meant directly wooing him and wanting to accept him as a confidant.

Buying the morale of the army and wooing military officers are taboos in the army!

Even if the Shangguan knew about the distribution of money, he would lightly reveal it. After all, the imperial court did not allocate too much money for the attack on the Wuyunlou branch...

But if the latter is added, the meaning will change immediately, and everyone can see that Captain Xu's intentions are not simple.

"not my business."

"It's only 50 taels of silver, it's not worth your life."

Wei Tu touched the golden bump on his waist, intending to eat sugar-coated food instead of cannonballs.

The ingot of gold given to him by Xu Xianwei was ill-gotten gains, and he took it without the slightest psychological burden.

I really want to serve my life.

That is also to serve the court of Zheng Guo and the people of Siyang Town.

What to do with Xu Xianwei?

Furthermore, with his identity and status, he was only given 50 taels of silver to win him over, which was far from enough.

……

The next day, early morning.

After Xu Xianwei counted the soldiers, he ordered all the soldiers to pull out the stronghold, leave Siyang Town, and return to the county.

When the Xiang army left Siyang Town and arrived at the mountain where they stayed before the war...

At this time, Wei Tu heard a burst of gongs and drums coming from Siyang Town.

He sighed secretly, shook his head, didn't look much, rode his horse away from the mountain, and followed the large army closely.

The process of leaving Siyang Town and returning to Qingshan County went smoothly without any twists and turns.

After returning to the county seat.

Wei Tu returned home, took off his fine armor, washed up, and went to Huang's house with 30 taels of silver to visit.

"30 taels?"

"It's enough so quickly?" Wei Hong was surprised when he heard Wei Tu's intention, and he couldn't believe it.

30 taels of silver, according to Wei Tu's salary, without eating or drinking, it would take three or four years to save enough.

And how long has it been since she borrowed Wei Tu's money?
less than two years.
