Fortunately, Lin Huaiwu was responsible for guarding these prisoners of war this time, so Ye Mingsheng dared to do such a thing. If it were Chen Yannian and Wang Xian, two veterans, Ye Mingsheng would have to think carefully...
Opening the small baggage sent by Ye Tie, Ye Mingsheng saw quietly lying inside a thick stack of banknotes with a face value of one hundred issued by Guangshengyuan, Baichuantong and Yishanhe on Wednesday. It looks like there are about twenty pictures.
Because Ye Tie was always safe and reliable in his work and never made Ye Mingsheng worry, Ye Mingsheng didn't bother to count it again. He directly took out three banknotes from the stack and handed them to Ye Tie and said:
"You have worked so hard this time. Of these three hundred taels, you keep two hundred taels. You can divide the remaining one hundred taels between Ye Dong and the others. Everyone, follow me, Mr. Ye, and have been out for such a long time. , Come and rain, it’s time to save some belongings!”
"Thank you, Master, for the reward!"
Looking at the banknote handed over by Ye Mingsheng, Ye Tie was startled for a moment, then a hint of joy appeared on his serious face. He took the banknote. He, who was not good at words, could only use the simplest language to express what was in his heart. Thanks.
Although he knew that with Ye Mingsheng's personality, he would not be treated badly by receiving such a large sum of money this time, but to be honest, Ye Tie did not expect that his young master would be so generous and even give him two hundred taels at once. For him, it was a huge sum of money, enough for him to save for several years...
"After you go back, you must tell Ye Dong, Ye Kui and the others to keep a low profile and not reveal their wealth. They should save a little money. They are both old and young. It is time to save some money to prepare for a wife!" Ye Mingsheng whispered! Explained:
"I understand. I will definitely restrain them and never let them cause trouble to you, young master!" Ye Tie, who understood the benefits, nodded heavily.
With Ye Tie's words, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. He waved his hand as he had nothing to say, and Ye Tie immediately retreated.
Ye Mingsheng, who was alone, looked at the two thousand taels of silver notes in his hand and fell into deep thought. He sighed for a long time and counted the banknotes. After seeing that the number was good, he put the banknotes in this small bag again. Okay, then hide it properly.
This time, if Ye Mingsheng wanted to, he could definitely earn more, far more than three thousand taels of silver. There were nearly twenty names on the list that Ye Tie gave him. For those valuable officials on the list, Ye Mingsheng could not earn ten thousand taels, but he could still pocket eight thousand taels.
However, out of caution, after careful study, Ye Mingsheng did not choose to let go of those high-ranking officials. Instead, he carefully selected and released the five captured mid-level military attaches after careful consideration. This does not mean that Ye Mingsheng did not want to If you earn more, who would dislike having more money in your hands?
The reason why he didn't let those high officials go was because Ye Mingsheng was worried that he would not be able to earn money or spend money in the end. Those high officials were all prominent figures in the palace and in the Zhou army. They were registered, and no one knew how many people were watching overtly or covertly. The risk of letting them go was too great, so Ye Mingsheng really didn't dare to let them out. He could only let some small fish out to make some money. Flowers.
Allocating five hundred silver to Lin Huaiwu was a decision made by Ye Mingsheng after careful consideration. Although he could have given Lin Huaiwu less, or even said that he would not allocate it to Lin Huaiwu...
However, considering that although he was going to serve in the Zhenwu Army, he could not be alone and transferred with only a few soldiers. So after thinking about this matter, Ye Mingsheng had a new idea in his mind. That is to say, Lin Huaiwu was brought to Zhenwu Army.
Although Lin Huaiwu is a little greedy for money and his hands are not very clean, but who is not a sage without making mistakes?
Lin Huaiwu still has many advantages. First of all, he is quite capable. He can command his men to advance and retreat in battles well. Whether it is suppressing peasant uprisings, exterminating bandits, or fighting against Luobei people in foreign countries, he has always achieved great results in battles and has never suffered any major losses. , and secondly, it is quite loyal to myself. It listens to the arrangements and greetings, and it is easy for me to use it.
This idea has been growing in Ye Mingsheng's mind since he thought about it. After thinking about it again and again, Ye Mingsheng secretly made up his mind to take Lin Huaiwu to the Zhenwu Army.
And if you want others to follow you, of course you have to give them a taste of the sweetness, otherwise who will mess with you?
The five hundred taels of silver distributed to him this time was a big bait thrown by Ye Mingsheng to him. As a ninth-grade sentry commander, Lin Huaiwu received about fifty taels of silver as a year's military pay. Five hundred taels of silver was enough for him to work in the army for ten years without food or drink. Therefore, one can imagine the great temptation for Lin Huaiwu...
With the temptation of money, Ye Mingsheng plans to have a good chat with his confidant about his future. Although Lin Huaiwu never expresses his ambition in front of him, Ye Mingsheng can It can be seen that this is also a master with great ambitions.
And the current Zhenwu Army, or among the other five armies in the Sixth Army of the Forbidden Army, is also a carrot and a pit, with more wolves and less meat, no backers and no money, it is difficult to compete with others, so it is newly established and the position is Duoduo Zhenwu Army is a good choice for promotion!

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Luo'an.
In the meeting room of Wenhua Pavilion in the Imperial City, the main seat was vacant. Three old men and a middle-aged man were sitting in their respective seats. Although these four people did not look amazing,
But among the four people sitting on the left, the old man and the middle-aged man, their court clothes made of brocade were clearly embroidered with lifelike cranes with outstretched wings and colorful golden pheasants.
As for the two old men sitting on the right, their court clothes made of brocade were embroidered with majestic fiery red unicorns!
There is no doubt that the four people sitting in this small meeting room at this time are the top of the power pyramid of the Zhou Dynasty, four of the five members of the cabinet. They are
Zhao Yuanan, the Duke of Chengguo and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Xu Bingyang, the Taibao and Minister of the Ministry of War.
Yang Chunchen, Duke of Dingguo.
Lin Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs.
At this time, these four civil and military officials, who were stomping their feet and causing the whole Zhou court to tremble, were sitting in their respective positions with different expressions. Some had their eyes closed, some were frowning, some were looking down in thought, and some were looking up. , it can be said that they are all different, each has his own ideas, and each has his own calculations.
Even so, these four people here all have one thing in common, that is, they are waiting for someone!
