“Mr.

Fang Zian smiled.

Xia Liangdong smiled awkwardly. It sounded like Fang Zian was praising himself, but he was also a little unhappy about being praised as a 'real villain'.

"Master Fang, whether you are a real villain or a hypocrite, in short, I have made my thoughts clear and clear to Master Fang. When I came to serve in the Fangyu Army, I did not want to be a person who would be remembered in history.

I just want to live a more comfortable life, is there anything wrong with that? Now that Mr. Fang is here, of course, I can’t take advantage of this benefit alone. Therefore, what I want to say is that the two of us cooperate sincerely and take advantage of it together.

, don’t make it so unpleasant. As the saying goes, peace brings wealth. Don’t you think so? In a few years, your Excellency will definitely be promoted, and the Fangyu Military Office will be temporary, so why bother making everyone unhappy?

Do you think so?" Xia Liangdong finally revealed his purpose unabashedly.

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "Master Xia, do you mean that the benefits can be shared with me?"

Xia Liangdong smiled and nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. As long as Mr. Fang doesn't go against me, there will be benefits for me, and there will be benefits for Mr. Fang. I, Xia Liangdong, have been in the officialdom for many years, and I know how to make money by being friendly.

"

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said: "How much profit can such a small yamen get? Besides, you probably have to give benefits to other people. Otherwise, others won't ruin your business."

Xia Liangdong stretched his neck and whispered: "Master Fang seems to understand. Everyone will take advantage of it. It's just a matter of taking more and taking less. The important people will be given more, and the unimportant people will be smeared with honey.

It’s just a taste of the sweetness. Of course, I will not treat Mr. Fang badly. Mr. Fang and I can share the benefits equally. We are on equal footing. As for what Mr. Fang is worried about, how much money can this small yamen have? Hehe, I just

It can be said that it is definitely beyond Mr. Fang’s imagination. As long as you use your brain, you will have to scrape out three layers of oil from the ground, hahahaha.”

Fang Zian also stretched his neck, pretending to be interested and said: "I would like to hear the details."

Xia Liangdong chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Master Fang, there is no need to ask. In short, if Master Fang is willing to cooperate with me, I will give you a lot of benefits."

Fang Zian sat up straight and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Xia still doesn't believe me. That's all, I won't ask anymore. In case Mr. Xia thinks I have other intentions."

Xia Liangdong shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to make it too clear. You, Mr. Fang, are a scholar, and you will feel unhappy after hearing many things. In short, as long as Mr. Fang is willing to cooperate, I will

You can give this number to Mr. Fang."

Xia Liangdong stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Fang Zian's eyes.

Fang Zian was shocked and said in surprise: "Five thousand taels? This... so much?"

Xia Liangdong laughed and said: "Not much, not much. Mr. Fang is quite satisfied."

Do you mean it?"

Fang Zian sighed: "It's amazing. All our salaries are only about three hundred taels a year. I didn't expect that a small Fangyu military yamen could have so much money. This makes me

I'm even more curious about how I got all this money. Mr. Xia, it's better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. Why don't you tell me about this way of making money? In the future... maybe I can use it too."

Xia Liangdong was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly. He pointed at Fang Zian and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Mr. Fang would actually have such an idea. Didn't you say before that you serve the court and the country as an official?

Are you loyal? How? Are you telling the truth now?"

Fang Zian chuckled and said, "Why do you have to expose someone's shortcomings?"

Xia Liangdong laughed so hard that he looked extremely rude. After a long time, he gasped: "Master Fang, we won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I still can't trust you. If you can really make me feel at ease, I won't do anything."

Hiding it from you. After all...this kind of thing is not a good thing. If I tell you all the inside information, and you turn around and sell me out, won't I have to die in your hands?"

Fang Zian's eyes flickered and he smacked his lips and said, "Master Xia is so conceited. He really doesn't seem to be a warrior."

Xia Liangdong waved his hand and said: "Don't say that. You must be on guard against others. This is my experience over the years. In other words, I understand some things now, even if I fought bloody battles with the Jin people back then.

, it is not as scary as in the officialdom. At least on the battlefield, you can still know how you died and who killed you. But in the officialdom, sometimes you don’t know how you died, no.

I know who was harmed."

Fang Zian nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Then Mr. Xia will never truly believe in me? How can I make you believe it?"

Xia Liangdong smiled and said: "It's very simple. The best way to keep a secret is to participate in it. If a person kills someone and is seen by bystanders, the bystanders will report it. But if the bystanders also participate in the killing, he will die or die.

I will not reveal the murder. Mr. Fang, if you want to get this benefit, you have to do something to make me believe it, and I will share all the secrets with you without reservation. Because, we have become

After catching a grasshopper on a rope, I will naturally not be wary of you anymore."

Fang Zian smiled and said, "Do you want me to send you a certificate of surrender? But I don't know what I should do?"

Xia Liangdong thought for a while and said: "Well, let's not put you in too much trouble. You are the head of the Yamen, and you have the power to verify and report the personnel of our defense army. Every six months, the Yamen must report the number of troops for verification by the superiors. You know

, with one more soldier, one more salary will be distributed. Although the salary of our soldiers in the Fangyu Army is not high, it is only a little more than two taels a month. However, although one person is not many, what about ten people? What about a hundred?

Although a month is not much, what about a year? Haha, that is a huge number. I want you to sign up for an additional 150 troops. This is a piece of cake for you. What do you think?"

Fang Zian immediately understood that Xia

Liangdong is trying to deceive himself and falsely report that the soldiers are on empty pay. One hundred and fifty people, three hundred taels of silver a month, is a huge sum of 3,600 taels of silver a year. As expected, it is a waste of money and no capital.

Profit. Just this one time, you can make so much profit, it is simply staggering.

"This... the risk is too great. If the higher authorities find out, it will be troublesome. Both you and I will lose our hats." Fang Zian frowned.

"Don't worry, you just need to report it, and I will handle the rest. There will definitely be no mistakes. I will arrange it properly. You think, I will also report it.

Those who signed the list will also be held accountable. Will I allow such a thing to happen? Just do it. If you don’t even have the guts to sign a joint name with me, how can I trust you? How can I trust you?

How can you get five thousand taels of silver?" Xia Liangdong said softly.

Fang Zian laughed secretly in his heart. At this moment, Fang Zian finally understood what Xia Liangdong's purpose was. On the surface, it seemed that Xia Liangdong was pulling himself into the gang, making himself and him the same group, so that he could continue to line his own pockets and exploit him.

However, Fang Zian smelled something unusual in it. As long as he did this according to his instructions, he would never be able to clean himself up. This matter of empty pay was an extremely serious matter in the military. He was so

The consequences would be unimaginable. If Xia Liangdong was a member of the Qin family, as long as he did this, he would be caught immediately and his death would not be far away. I am afraid that this is Xia Liangdong's purpose.

"How? Can you agree to this? With just a little effort, you can make me believe that you are one of our own. From now on, we brothers will sit here, put the money in our pockets, and live a happy life. Just like this Wuyi New Tea, we

You can drink whatever you want, and you don’t have to be greedy. We have money, so everything can be done easily." Xia Liangdong said with his eloquent tongue.

Fang Zian looked hesitant and said softly: "Mr.

What do you think? Let me take a moment and think about it carefully."

Xia Liangdong frowned and said, "What's there to think about?"

Fang Zian stood up and said: "No, no, no, you have to think about it. Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I won't talk nonsense, I just need to think about it. Well... you still have to stay in this public room, I'm still in front first

It's good to stay in the wing. Give me three days and I will give you an answer then."

Xia Liangdong said with a gloomy face: "What do you mean? Master Fang, this is not good."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said, "It doesn't mean anything special. Don't think too much, Mr. Xia. I'm really just restless and can't make a decision."

Xia Liangdong stood up slowly, his expression became indifferent, and said calmly: "That's fine, you can think about it. You have to think about it in three days. You will give me an answer in three days."
