"Can you two pay it off?"
Zhao Ping asked Li Qi and Zhao Yong.
"It's not over yet."
The two answered truthfully.
Forty thousand taels of silver were divided equally between the two of them, and no one had to repay the ten thousand taels of silver.
Just like Wendi Ruan said.
Selling them wouldn't even be worth that much.
Ruan Wendi continued: "Sir, you should know that we still have a lot to do."
"You also plan to build a factory in Bad Wind Valley and recruit workers to work."
"And the monthly salary you offer is also very high. If a person works normally, it will be four copper coins a day, which is more than a hundred cents a month."
"I have to take care of three full meals a day, and I need meat for every meal."
"These are all silver."
"Acacia wine is our weapon to make money, how can we waste it on these two slaves?"
"Sir, we're done."
Li Qi and Zhao Yong looked at each other and expressed their opinions.
"Sir is a good man, and we are very grateful for sparing our lives."
"But we are just slaves. It would be too wasteful to use acacia wine on us. We should leave it to the development of Xiping Village."
"But please rest assured, sir, even if you don't treat us, the two of us will swear to be loyal to Xiping Village and will never rebel."
"When I'm old and can't do anything anymore, I'll just find a stinking ditch and lie down. I won't cause any trouble to my husband and Xiping Village."
"hehe."
Zhao Ping chuckled in his heart.
Lying in a smelly ditch, are you trying to attract a soul from another world?
But you have to do enough acting.
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "Don't worry, since you have submitted to Xiping Village, you are a member of my Xiping Village."
"In Xiping Village, all injured people will be treated carefully."
"You are no exception."
"Isn't it just a jar of acacia wine?"
"Just use it."
"I am the boss in Xiping Village. Ruan Wendi, do you dare to contradict me?"
When he said the last words, Zhao Ping glared at Ruan Wendi.
"you!"
Ruan Wendi was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling.
Zuo Zhigang on the side sighed and wanted to persuade, but he didn't know where to start.
Ruan Wendi is the second boss of Heifeng Village. She has run Heifeng Village with him for several years and has a deep relationship with him.
Zhao Ping is the husband-in-law of General Feiying.
Can you offend yourself?
He was even thinking about who he would help if the two of them got into a fight.
As for Li Hu, he looked at all this indifferently and didn't take it seriously at all.
His purpose is to protect Zhao Ping.
It was just a quarrel, and he could just sit back and ignore it before taking action.
"Sir, Ruan Wendi, please stop arguing, we will not treat you."
Seeing this, Li Qi and Zhao Yong had no choice but to speak again, "Who is that? Quickly untie the ropes on us, let's go to work now."
"I said we would treat it, and no one can stop it today."
Zhao Ping said hard.
"Okay, Zhao Ping, you are really good at it."
Ruan Wendi laughed angrily, "For two slaves, you have to use a jar of acacia wine, and you are a stubborn donkey who doesn't listen to advice."
"You are so prodigal. Sooner or later, Xiping Village will be destroyed in your hands."
"I don't care to conspire with you anymore, so pack your things and leave now."
After saying that, Ruan Wendi rolled up his sleeves and turned to leave.
When he left, he was still cursing and saying some bad things about Zhao Ping.
"snort!"
Zhao Ping also snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Do you really think you won't leave Xiping Village if you leave?"
"Let me tell you, without you Ruan Wendi, I can still run Xiping Village in an orderly manner."
"If you want to leave, leave quickly. I hope I won't see you in Xiping Village tomorrow."
"Mr. Zhao, how could you do this?"
Zuo Zhigang was speechless and said: "We are all one family, why should we be unhappy because of two slaves?"
"Oh my, what should I do?"
Zuo Zhigang looked around anxiously, but couldn't think of any idea.
Li Hu, on the other hand, kicked him on the butt and said angrily: "Then Ruan Wendi is the second in charge of Heifeng Village, and he belongs to you."
"He dared to disobey sir and was driven away. Why are you still here?"
"Get out with him."
Li Hu obviously used his skill with that kick, which didn't hurt Zuo Zhigang, but kicked him out of the door.
"I……"
Zuo Zhigang opened his mouth to say something, but he heard Ruan Wendi beside him reminding him softly, "Follow me."
Um?
Zuo Zhigang was a little confused.
However, when he saw Ruan Wendi blinking his eyes continuously, with no anger at all on his face, and even some joy, he became even more confused, so he followed him involuntarily.
"Ruan Wendi, what are you doing?"
After catching up with Ruan Wendi, Zuo Zhigang couldn't help complaining: "Sir, if you want to treat those two slaves, just let him treat them?"
"Isn't it just a jar of acacia wine?"
"Anyway, Mr. brewed it himself. It can be sold for tens of thousands of taels per jar outside, but it doesn't seem to be very valuable in Xiping Village."
"Because of this, you got into a big fight with your husband, right?"
Ruan Wendi did not answer immediately, but walked a little further away, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you also think that I have turned against my husband?"
"nonsense."
Zuo Zhigang said angrily: "You are all red-faced and prickly, and you want to leave Xiping Village. Haven't you turned against each other yet?"
"Everyone with eyesight can see it, okay?"
"If the tiger hadn't kicked you, would you have chased him out?"
Ruan Wendi asked again.
"I……"
Zuo Zhigang hesitated.
Chasing means that he is on the same side as Ruan Wendi.
In that case, we must follow Ruan Wendi and leave Xiping Village.
But he still wants to follow General Flying Eagle to fight everywhere.
Saying he won't pursue him proves that he has chosen to side with Zhao Ping.
However, Li Hu was right. Ruan Wendi was from Heifeng Village and she wore the same pants with him.
Ruan Wendi and Zhao Ping were having trouble.
Will Zhao Ping still want to see him?
Even with General Flying Eagle's connections, I'm afraid he would still be in trouble, right?
Zuo Zhigang didn't know how to answer.
I was so anxious that I was almost sweating.
"You!"
Ruan Wendi sighed softly and said helplessly: "I may have the courage of an ordinary man, but he doesn't have any strategy."
"Let me ask you, what does Mr. need most now?"
"silver."
Zuo Zhigang said without thinking, and even added, "That's what you just told your husband, if Xiping Village wants to develop and build, it cannot do without money."
"wrong."
Ruan Wendi corrected: "Money is something external to the body."
"What's more, the acacia wine produced in our Xiping Village was shipped to the capital, and a jar was sold for twenty-five thousand taels of silver."
"If my estimate is correct, the gentleman now has at least millions of taels of silver in his hands."
“It’s enough to support the construction and development of Xiping Village.”
"Then what is missing most, sir?"
Zuo Zhigang said strangely: "In terms of manpower, there are bodyguards, bandits, and even officers and soldiers."
"Coupled with the people who have come to seek refuge one after another, there must be several thousand people in total, right?"
"As for power, he is not greedy."
"His Majesty called him to the capital, but he was rejected."
"As for a beauty, he has wives and concubines, and they all look like fairies."
"This has reached the ultimate level of manhood."
"If I were on your husband's side, I would die without regrets."
"you!"
Ruan Wendi pointed at Zuo Zhigang and said, "No wonder you can only rush forward without any brains at all."
"Please ask Mr. Ruan to clarify my doubts."
Zuo Zhigang also knew this, bowed to Ruan Wendi, and humbly asked for advice.
"What sir lacks most is a master."
Ruan Wendi didn't give in anymore and explained in detail.
"When we came back, I asked Yunman about the situation in Xiping Village, and he talked about the previous battle with Liu Wenhao. Do you still remember?"
"Remember."
Zuo Zhigang said: "Thankfully Youying took action, otherwise, my husband might have been captured."
"good."
Ruan Wendi nodded, "Sir, only Li Hu is barely a master. The rest are slightly stronger. It is easy to win against ordinary people, but it is difficult to win against real masters."
"And Li Qi and Zhao Yong are both guards brought by Liu Wenhao."
"To be able to become the guards of the big families in the capital, they are all carefully selected, and their strength is naturally not simple."
"Isn't it simple?"
Zuo Zhigang touched the back of his head and said disdainfully: "It's not like he was captured alive by us."
"That's because they are recovering from serious injuries and are weak and unable to show their strength."
Ruan Wendi said: "In addition, we have sharp weapons like Zhuge Liannu in our hands, so we can shoot them in the calf when they are not prepared."
"If we let them recover their strength, they will at least be able to fight Hu Zi with some success if they fight alone."
"Is it so powerful?"
Zuo Zhigang was surprised, but he also thought of something.
Suddenly he woke up and said: "So you and your husband didn't fall out, but you were just putting on a show for the two of them, just to make them swear loyalty to your husband to the death?"
"She still has some brains."
Ruan Wendi chuckled and said, "I've known it since Mr. Cong wanted to treat two people's injuries."
"So Mr. Zai took out the acacia wine and acted out a play with him."
"You are going to be the highest general of the Flying Eagle Army. Please learn more from now on."
"Sir, I have said that a qualified general should not be a reckless man who only knows how to charge and kill, but should also be resourceful enough to be able to see through the enemy's strategies and lay traps for the enemy to get into."
“In this way, you can get closer and closer to your goals.”
"I……"
Zuo Zhigang opened his mouth but did not dare to refute.
But he was very troubled in his heart. Wouldn't it be difficult for him to learn these calculations as a big boss?
Just thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.
He asked abruptly: "What about Hu Zi?"
"How could he see all this?"
