Chapter 190 Distribution of bonuses (Part 1)

Fang Xuanling said: "You are right, there is news from the north that many cattle and sheep were frozen to death by the Turks this winter.

However, Jieli still refused to let go of each tribe and imposed tax collection. Especially the Tuli tribe was exploited even more. Not only did they have to surrender their cattle and sheep, but they also had to surrender their people."

"Hand in?" Li Feng looked at Fang Xuanling in confusion.

Fang Xuanling immediately explained: "It means conscription. Jieli suffered a defeat at Xue Yantuo this year, so conscription is needed."

Li Feng suddenly said: "As a result, the conflicts within the Turks have become so great that they are beyond adjustment."

"Almost." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "In this case, the opportunity for the imperial court came. Jieli and Tuli are uncle-nephew relations, and Jieli's successor as Khan is the successor of Tuli's father Shibi Khan.

Originally, the position of Khan should be Tuli instead of Jieli. It is easy to take advantage of this. The court can send people to Tuli and tell Tuli that we are willing to help Tuli regain the position of Khan."

Li Er shook his head and said: "You are wrong. We did not send people to see Tuli, but Tuli had already sent people to Chang'an, saying that his tribe was attacked by Jieli and asked for our help."

Li Feng said directly: "I won't help."

"Why?" Li Er asked.

Both he and Fang Xuanling looked at Li Feng with interest.

Li Feng said: "Since they are fighting among themselves, why can't we just sit back and reap the benefits?

It's okay if you want to help. When they're almost done fighting, we'll take action to beat up the drowned dog. Anyway, if we take action now, the one we can take advantage of is sudden profit.

If Tuli wins and turns against us, we will be in trouble. If Tuli annexes Jieli's territory, we will be in even greater trouble.

We can't do this kind of thankless thing. I personally suggest that we let them fight slowly for a year. Wouldn't it be nice for us to reap the benefits?"

"What if we don't fight?" Li Er asked.

Li Feng said: "It doesn't matter if we don't fight, there is no way to resolve their conflicts anyway. When we send troops, Tuli will not only not help Jieli, but will also stab Jieli."

You can ask Li Jing how dangerous it is to be suddenly attacked from behind on the battlefield, and he will tell you."

"Okay, how about we go find Li Jing together and discuss the Turkic affairs?" Li Er said.

Li Feng thought for a while and said: "Okay, but it's pointless to just talk like this. Allow me to wait for two days. In these two days, you can send me someone who is familiar with the Turkic terrain. I will give you a surprise then."

"That's fine." Li Er said, "We still need to report to the court about the Turks, and about the wool, which will also take a few days."

Next, Li Feng prepared a sumptuous dinner for Li Er and the others.

Li Er and the others left the tavern with satisfaction after having had enough wine and food. However, they did not return empty-handed. They each loaded a carriage with cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and that's not all. They also took a lot of good wine.

This caused dissatisfaction among some servants in the store, because Li Er and the others ate and took without paying at all, which also reduced their tips a lot.

Li Feng didn't know about this. Although Zhao Shuixian knew about it and told them about it, he still didn't stop people's dissatisfaction, which made Zhao Shuixian a little embarrassed.

They were all slaves, so Zhao Shuixian didn't plan to tell Li Feng about this yet, but today, she finally couldn't hide it anymore, because the people below were getting more and more outrageous, and they didn't even take her seriously anymore.

Today, Li Feng gave her a task, which was to distribute year-end bonuses and red envelopes.

So, after the tavern closed, she summoned all the tavern staff and planned to hold a meeting. In addition to paying out money, she decided to give her employees a good beating.

There were a total of twenty-three people in the tavern, including the chef.

At this time, there were twenty-three people standing in front of Zhao Shuixian, including Shangguan Yi.

"There are two main reasons for calling everyone together today. One is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the young master will give everyone New Year red envelopes and work bonuses."

Zhao Shuixian's words made the twenty-three people below beam with smiles, and they were all extremely happy. Money, who doesn't like it?

Zhao Shuixian took out a big basin from under the cabinet. The big basin was filled with copper coins.

"The young master said that the amount of the red envelope is the same, but the year-end bonus is different. The year-end bonus is awarded based on the more work you do and the different positions."

Zhao Shuixian looked at Shangguan Yi and said: "Shangguanyi, you are the young master's student, so there is no year-end bonus, but the young master gave you a big red envelope.

In addition, the young master said that there will be a New Year's Eve dinner in the Zhuangyuan Building on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so starting from tomorrow you will go to the Zhuangyuan Building to get acquainted with it and temporarily become the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Building.

In the first year of junior high school, the young master wanted to see the process of a New Year's Eve dinner."

Shangguan Yi said: "Master, why didn't you tell me in person?"

"The young master knew you would ask this question, so I asked the villain to tell the young master again that he will stay at Li Jing's house recently and will not come back. As the young master's student, you are also the master. You must take good care of the tavern and the Number One Scholar Building. Don't let

The young master is disappointed.

If you don't understand anything or if you encounter trouble, you can report his name. If the young master's name doesn't work, go to Li Jing Mansion to find the young master."

Shangguan Yi sighed and said, "My teacher is still thoughtful."

Zhao Shuixian took out five silver ingots from the big basin. Each silver ingot weighed ten taels, which meant that Zhao Shuixian took out fifty taels and gave them to Shangguan Yi.

Everyone looked at Shangguan Yi with envy. This might be their salary for a year or even two years.

Shangguan Yi felt very uncomfortable holding the heavy amount of money. This may be the most red envelopes she has ever received in her life, and it is also the richest time she has ever had.

Even if he came to Chang'an, he would only bring more than thirty taels with him.

"Miss Narcissus, do you have anything else to tell me?" Shangguan Yi asked slightly excitedly.

Zhao Shuixian thought for a while and said, "Let Mr. Shangguan stay and accompany the villain to distribute red envelopes and bonuses."

Shangguan Yi said: "Okay."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shuixian shouted: "Zhao Li, ten red envelopes and thirty gold bonuses."

There was a chubby woman, whose appearance did not match her name at all. She wore an apron around her waist, which was already a little dirty. This was because she was stained by oil while cooking.

Zhao Li's chubby face burst into laughter, and she immediately stepped forward to take the silver from Zhao Shuixian's hand.

He said happily: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Zhao, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Zhao."

Zhao Shuixian said quickly: "Thank me for what I did. This was arranged by the young master. You should thank the young master more."

Zhao Li immediately slapped herself on the mouth, neither lightly nor severely, and said, "I said the wrong thing, and I deserve a slap. Thank you, Master, thank you, Master..."

"Okay, the next one, Sister-in-law Wu, is also forty."
