After counting everything, the official escorted the living bandits and several cartloads of loot back to Qixia Town.
When the people in the town saw this scene, they were naturally curious and came forward to watch.
"What's going on? Who are these people? What are they pulling on the cart?"
"These don't look like good people. Look, they are all wearing shackles and shackles."
"Oh, it turns out they are bandits from Black Wind Village. God opened my eyes, and they were finally eliminated."
"It turns out that it was Li Xiulian who virtuously helped the people to eliminate harm and pacified the Black Wind Village! Hero Li, we love you!"
Soon, they found out the ins and outs through inquiring. It was passed down from one person to another, and everyone praised it endlessly.
Xiang Nan couldn't help but be very happy when he heard the cheers from the crowd. He stood on the carriage and waved frequently, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
…
The motorcade, surrounded by the people, came all the way to the Yamen.
Lou Zhixian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Black Wind Village had really been wiped out. The first boss was in chains, the second boss, and the third boss were all dead, and all the minions were either dead or disabled.
When he saw five carts full of loot, he felt even more happy. Qixia Town's finances have been very tight in recent months, and it is almost impossible to pay out food and salary.
If these trophies are not recovered by the owner, all of them can be returned to the county treasury. In this way, the county government's finances will be greatly relieved.
Killing two birds with one stone, Lou Zhixian looked at Xiang Nan and smiled even more happily.
"Xiulian, thunder is as good as my good luck." He smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "Sure enough, I didn't expect it."
"Uncle, if you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to ask me. My nephew will definitely be at your disposal." Xiang Nan also held his hands and smiled.
Although Lou Zhixian is only a seventh-grade official and not of high rank, he is the highest leader of Qixia Town, so he is also known as the Parent Official, Bailihou, and Tu Emperor.
The so-called county magistrate who ruins the family, and the governor who destroys the family. Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu were just spies, not officials but petty officials, and they were able to show off their power. Even Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong were in awe, not to mention Lou Zhixian.
Therefore, it can be said that being a relative has many benefits for Xiang Nan.
From now on, I dare not say that if I walk sideways in Qixia Town, I will at least give him three points of noodles.
…
Because he wiped out Heifeng Village, Xiang Nan suddenly became a famous person in Qixia Town and even a hundred miles away, and was respectfully called "Hero Li" by many people.
This made Guo Furong envious.
The reason why she entered the world was to become a hero. Unexpectedly, in the end, the hero didn't take it seriously, and instead became a little handyman. He didn't know when he would be freed.
However, Xiang Nan only wiped out Heifeng Village and became a great hero, praised by everyone. If she had known this, she would have gone to wipe out the Black Wind Village.
"Oh, brother Big Mouth is good. He has only learned martial arts for three months and is already able to eliminate harm for the people." Bai Zhantang also sighed, "Compared with you, my brother is really ashamed."
"Old Bai, don't say that. In fact, I'm still far behind." Xiang Nan said modestly.
In fact, he knew that the reason why Lao Bai did not go to wipe out Heifeng Village was because he hated fighting and killing, and he was not happy to be in the limelight.
Especially since he has a ulterior motive in his heart, he will subconsciously avoid any dealings with the government. Therefore, even if his martial arts skills are amazing, he does not dare to show off his skills wantonly. …
"Da Zui, you are really a role model for me to learn from." Lu Xiucai said with admiration, "You have wiped out the Black Wind Village and benefited the people, and your merits are immeasurable. Unlike me, I have studied the books of sages for so many years, but I still haven't accomplished anything yet."
"Xiucai, don't say that. You are more educated and knowledgeable than me. You will definitely be promoted to an official in the future. And with your character, you will definitely be a good official and benefit the people." Xiang Nan also said modestly.
Hearing Xiang Nan say this, Lu Xiucai was very heart-warming.
"Uncle Big Mouth, I must learn from you and become a hero in the future." Mo Xiaobei also said with admiration.
At that time, her great-grandfather also eliminated harm for the people, wiped out bandits, and won praise from all the people, so he founded the Hengshan Sect.
"Xiao Bei, if you want to be a hero, you don't need to set too high goals. Just start from the little things around you. As long as you have kind thoughts and are willing to help others, sooner or later you will win everyone's respect and become a hero of the generation. ." Xiang Nan smiled.
Xiaobei listened thoughtfully.
Because Xiang Nan wiped out the bandits in Cuiwei Mountain and eliminated a harm to the people within a hundred miles, his reputation grew.
After hearing about his deeds, many people came to Tongfu Inn to support him, which made Tongfu Inn's business boom.
Tong Xiangyu was naturally happy and praised Xiang Nandao with a smile, "Big mouth, you're good at it."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiang Nan also smiled.
…
"Xiangyu, the business is so good now, and there is so much work every day, please give everyone a raise." Lao Bai secretly said to the shopkeeper.
"What, a wage increase?!" When Tong Xiangyu heard this, he felt as if a knife was cutting out his heart, "How can I have money?"
"Just pick at it! No one is blind. There are so many customers every day, and you still say that you don't make money. Do you think anyone will believe it?" Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes at her, "Don't forget, they are big mouths. I don’t even ask for ten taels of silver a month, but I’m willing to stay, so don’t let me feel too disappointed.”
"Then how much do you think it will go up?" Tong Xiangyu thought for a while and asked.
"The salaries of Xiucai, Xiao Guo and I don't need to be raised too high. Five taels of silver is enough." Bai Zhantang suggested, "The salary of Big Mouth should start at least eight taels."
"So many?!" Tong Xiangyu said reluctantly upon hearing this.
"That's more. If you open your eyes and see, most of the customers in our shop now come because of Dazui's fame and cooking skills.
If you don't treat them better, one day they will become discouraged and really change jobs, taking all the customers away. By then, it will be too late for you to cry. "Bai Zhantang taught her a lesson.
Tong Xiangyu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, admitting that Bai Zhantang was right.
Business in their store was very poor before. When business was good, they only made six dollars a day. But now he can earn fourteen and fifty taels every day, and Lilan has increased it dozens of times, so the employees' wages should indeed be increased.
Later, Tong Xiangyu announced the salary increase for employees during dinner.
"Guys, our business has been booming in the past two months, thanks to everyone's hard work. Tong Xiangyu is not stingy, and decided to give everyone a salary increase.
Big mouth, your monthly payment will be ten taels from now on. Xiucai, Xiao Guo, Lao Bai, your monthly salary has been increased to five yuan. "Tong Xiangyu announced.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiucai and Lao Bai were very happy.
"Ah, there's such a big difference." Guo Furong said depressedly after hearing this.
There is a difference of twenty times between ten taels and five cents.
"Shopkeeper, I only need five taels of silver. Xiucai, Xiao Guo and Lao Bai, please give me two taels of silver." Xiang Nan suggested.
He now has a net worth of about ten thousand taels of silver, and the extra five or two months of money means nothing to him. But two taels of silver are very meaningful to Xiao Guo, Xiucai, and Lao Bai.
