After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Chen Qingzhu shook his head:

"But I don't know for sure whether he will need to work hard recently. If I don't feed him in advance, how can he listen to me? Such a cunning person will not work too hard if he doesn't get any practical benefits."

It is now the 20th day of the first lunar month. After finishing her New Year banquet, Lady Zhang, the wife of Marquis of Jingnan, will soon focus on verifying her original lie.

If only the inner palace sent people, she could easily deal with them with the people from Cihang Temple. But if she incited Marquis Jingnan to attack her, Cihang Temple would not be their match with its current military reserves.

If a confrontation really occurs, Captain Li will have to step in.

Only when Captain Li truly realizes the benefits of cooperating with her, will he try his best to fight against Pei Xiao.

A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.

After all, Pei Xiao's roots were not in Nandu City, and he was only here temporarily to serve as an official. He would not offend Captain Li to death for the sake of a concubine.

This is the second use of Captain Li.

Huiyun pouted: "It's really hard to accept giving him money for nothing."

Huiyun unconsciously showed her little girl's demeanor, which might be a sign of trust in her. Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but smile:

"Have you ever seen anyone take advantage of me? Don't worry, when I don't need him anymore, I will definitely take it back with interest."

Feeding the wild beasts is only temporary. Once she breaks through the fourth level of Qi Refining, she will be able to release spiritual energy out of thin air to attack, and she will no longer need to rely on Li Qianhu's strength.

At that time, Captain Li will have to return all the money he had taken from her.

Now it is just like making a lump sum deposit in a money shop and earning some extra interest.

These words convinced Huiyun and made her smile again. She also showed her ability not to ask further when Captain Li would no longer be needed.

The master of the temple had already explained to her the reason for doing this, and that was enough. As for the rest, everyone had some troubles in their past.

Cihang Temple sent someone to pass on the message, and Captain Li happened to have just returned to the palace from his duty that day, so he got the news.

He thought to himself that Master Chen was quite sensible. He sent him the first sum of money he earned as promised. This was much more proactive than Ci'an who sent him money every six months.

"Zhang Liu, you should go to Cihang Temple tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Zhang Liu's family was a military household for generations, and all his family lived in the suburban counties near the southern capital. He was also one of Captain Li's confidants, so he did not dare to run away with a few hundred taels of silver. Therefore, he was ordered to go to Cihang Temple the next day.

Chen Qingzhu took time out from her training to meet him in person. She casually stuffed a bundle full of snowflake silver into Li Qianhu's hands:

"I want to tell your captain that he did a great job this time. The Qin family's tribute will be converted into 700 taels of silver, half for each person. There should be more in a few days, just tell him to wait for the money."

Three hundred and fifty taels of silver weighs thirty-five pounds.

As soon as he got the silver in his hand, it weighed a ton. Even though Zhang Liu knew that the silver had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Captain Li didn't have to go back home every day. According to military rules, he could only go back home for three days of rest once a month. But as a relative of the emperor, he naturally wouldn't be so honest.

For the sake of his concubines, he would return home to spend the night almost every now and then, and sometimes even stay at home for an extra day or two for personal matters.

Thinking about the silver sent by Chen Qingzhu, he came back yesterday, but he came back again today after finishing his shift.

Zhang Liu rode his horse to Cihang Temple and back, but came back much earlier than him and was waiting in the outer courtyard at this time.

"Where is the silver?" Captain Li asked impatiently as soon as he came back.

Zhang Liu immediately presented the package.

Captain Li opened the bundle and was immediately dazzled by the white silver inside.

There were thirty-five silver ingots, each as big as a child's foot, weighing ten taels each.

Captain Li was delighted.

"Oh, these white silver coins, each one is so precious!"
