Thinking of this, Yang Jingfa said slowly: "Then what do you want?"

Liu Pei saw that Yang Jingfa had recognized the facts, so he didn't want to push too hard. Otherwise, if he really pushed Yang Jingfa, it would be a disaster. So Liu Pei said seriously: "I think we should just pretend that this didn't happen."

It's the best life. And as a member of your lord's command, I naturally have to show filial piety during the New Year and festivals! Your lord will be promoted and make a fortune in the future, and I will be granted the title of general. I will stay here honestly and earn a living for my relatives. I don't know.

What do you think, sir?"

Yang Jingfa is also a decisive person. He thought for a while and felt that there was no better way. It was just that he had to lose some face, but it was better than losing his head! He said: "Okay, let's do it! Just be my official.

Didn’t come this time!”

Liu Pei was overjoyed after hearing this! He immediately stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "Thank you, sir! But you can't let your trip go in vain. I have 500 taels of silver here for you, and there are also some sundries produced by the clan for you.

Give it a try.”

Yang Jingfa's initially gloomy face softened a bit. When he saw Liu Pei coming up to save some of his face, he stopped thinking about dealing with Liu Pei. He nodded and said, "Okay. In that case,

You and I can take care of our holidays in one stroke!"

As he said this, he stood up and was about to walk out. However, Liu Pei stretched out his hand to stop Yang Jingfa and said, "Sir, please go slowly. I still have something to discuss with you."

Yang Jingfa was furious and said sternly: "Don't push yourself too far! I didn't want to make things difficult for you anymore. Do you really think that I'm afraid of you when you keep doing this?"

Seeing that he was angry, Liu Pei immediately said: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood! I really have something to discuss with you, and there is absolutely no other intention!"

Seeing the serious look on Liu Pei's face, Yang Jingfa knew that he had thought wrong just now. He sat down and said, "If anything happens, just tell me."

Liu Pei also sat down and said: "I wonder how much silver your lord can harvest from the fields in a year? I know the situation in the guardhouse. The fields in the guardhouse have basically been assigned to your name. But fortunately, your lord is benevolent and righteous.

It also left some food for the villagers. Compared with other health centers, ours

The lives of the villagers are much better than those in other health centers! We still need to thank you for your kindness!"

After hearing Liu Pei's compliment, Yang Jingfa had a slight smile on his face and said: "I really can't bear to search with all my hands, because I also know that it's not easy for our brothers! But I can't do anything! The higher ups can't.

We have to clear the air, we have to support some servants, and we have to maintain the salary below! I am also in a difficult situation!"

When Yang Jingfa heard Liu Pei talking about the fields, he thought that she wanted to stand up for the military households in the guard house, and he was inevitably a little angry. He felt that Liu Pei didn't know how to praise him. At that moment, he thought of killing Liu Pei! But now he is in a short position.

Under the eaves, I have to bow my head! Wait until I leave here before making any further calculations.

However, after hearing this, Liu Pei nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right! That's right! I also know your difficulties, so I want to ask you about your income from the fields in a year, so that I can share your worries!"

Yang Jingfa perked up when he heard this, and felt that Liu Pei was not standing up for others. So he thought for a moment and said: "How much interest can you earn by digging food in the soil! Every year, the rations are deducted, and then the grain merchants pick up the layers.

There is not much left of the skin. Even in a good year, I only receive 2,780 taels of silver! In the past two years, when the weather has been bad, it is only more than 2,000 taels of silver each year."

Liu Pei nodded and said: "I understand. Sir, do you think this is okay? You have also seen that I have taken in many servants to guarantee the goods. There will inevitably be some shortages in terms of food. It would be better to do this. The fields are still my fields, and my Lord will keep them."

Once the rations are met, the remaining harvest will be transferred to me. I will give you three thousand taels of silver every year, regardless of drought or flood!"

When Yang Jingfa heard Liu Pei's words, he was immediately shocked. In fact, he was not lying. The interest he collected from the fields every year was really not much. Apart from the filial piety he paid to his superiors every year, and the salaries he paid to his subordinates, what fell into his hands was

It's only a few hundred taels of silver a year! Even so, he still has a bad name. If he goes by what Liu Pei told him, deducting the rations and giving him three thousand taels of silver a year regardless of drought or flood, this will fall into his hands.

But that's even more! In this way, his life will be much easier. He also pumped water into Liu Pei's hand in disguise, and gained face and dignity! He immediately widened his eyes and said, "Is this true?"

Liu Pei sat up straight and looked seriously

Said: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase it back!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Yang Jingfa was overjoyed and patted his thigh directly, saying: "You are still thoughtful! You have solved my urgent need! To be honest, I really don't want to make a fatal move.

Those poor military households! It’s just that everyone doesn’t understand my difficulties!”

Liu Pei naturally said at this time, "That's your kindness!" Then came a series of flattery! For a time, the atmosphere between the two was no longer so tense, but became more harmonious.

Both of them were happy people, and they agreed on the details in a few words. Then they walked out of the camp together. As soon as everyone looked at the faces of the two people, they knew that they had almost finished talking, and the atmosphere outside immediately relaxed.

Liu Pei waved his hand to summon Qi Qitao. Qi Qitao quickly came forward, bowed and said, "Master Qianhu! Master, what are your orders?"

Liu Pei did not shy away from Yang Jingfa, and said in front of him: "Let the brothers know the barracks first, and stop poking around from outside! In addition, you go to my room, there is a wooden box under my bed, and you can bring it over.

"As he spoke, Liu Pei used his right hand to make a sign of "eight" where Yang Jingfa could not see. Qi Qitao nodded with understanding and turned around.

When the young men under Liu Pei lined up and entered the barracks, Qi Qitao also came closer holding a wooden box and said: "Master, do you think it is this box? I even brought the box without opening it."

Then he handed the box to Liu Pei.

Liu Pei felt that Qi Qitao's brain should be able to understand his hint, and he would definitely put away the large banknotes in the box, leaving only 800 taels of banknotes to fool Yang Jingfa. So Liu Pei opened it in front of Yang Jingfa

The box was just as he had guessed. There were only four banker's tickets worth two hundred taels of silver left in the box! Moreover, Qi Qitao creatively threw dozens of taels of silver into the box.

Liu Pei gave Qi Qitao a thumbs up in his heart, then picked out the four banknotes under Yang Jingfa's burning eyes, returned the box to Qi Qitao, then handed the banknotes to Yang Jingfa with both hands, and said: "It's just a small gift.
