Longevity Martial Arts: Beginning with Sword Drawing

Chapter 99 The Landlord Sends Money!

A thousand taels of silver is not too much, but it is not too little either.

It can save Lin Bei several months of hard work.

Lin Bei accepted it directly and generously. This is the reward he deserves, so naturally he would not refuse.

Afterwards, Lin Bei and Cui Shanhe drank several jars of wine and chatted happily.

During this period, Cui Shanhe even invited him to join the army, but was declined by Lin Bei.

Cui Shanhe is not a military leader, but the commander of the city guard in a small town, and he knows very few people.

But if you want to develop in the army, if you want to climb up without a big background, you must either go south and north to build military exploits everywhere, or like Cui Shanhe, guard a corner and slowly build up your qualifications.

Both are extremely time consuming.

Lin Bei felt that with so much time, he might as well continue to sell medicines.

What is the purpose of developing in the military?
Not just resources!

And Lin Bei, who is a foundry and doctor, is short of resources now?

not at all!
For a martial artist in the Qi and blood realm, who possesses the two crafts of casting and medicine at the same time, there is basically no need to worry about resources!
Except for the no-cost business of murder and arson, no martial artist in the Qi and blood realm can be as rich as Lin Bei!

With casting skills and medical skills, Lin Bei can still have the same resources as those sect disciples without joining any forces.

Satisfied with wine and food, Cui Shanhe patted his stomach and left satisfied.

When he was parting, he turned around and added: "By the way, I blocked the matter of your armor for you!"

Lin Bei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

He was not much drunk and continued to practice.

The armor doesn't improve his current combat power much, and it can't defend against the attacks of dragon vein warriors, so it can only be used to defend against the shooting of bows and crossbows.

……

For several days in a row, everything in the town was settled properly, and order was restored again, but the excitement of the past was gone.

Most of the carcasses of the alien beasts in the beast tide were sold to the merchants who came to buy them.

And this money is mostly used as pensions and military exploits.

It can be said that those who survived are basically considered a little rich.

It's not that the mayor, Lu Anbo, didn't think about keeping it and hiding it in his pocket.

But he dared not.

This kind of situation had happened in previous years, and it aroused the anger of the warriors in Changsheng Town, and the head and body of the mayor were also separated.

After all, Changsheng Town is a town where warriors gather together, which is very different from ordinary villages and towns.

It is okay to secretly exploit some rents, and everyone is used to it, but if the pensions of their relatives and friends are also deducted, then these warriors will definitely be excited and transform from little sheep into wolves.

However, Lu Anbo only moved his mind a little, he still had some sense of propriety in his heart.

More importantly, although the pension and military exploits cannot be deducted, there is still a piece of fat waiting for him to eat.

This piece of fat is the Zhou family!

The Zhou family was killed in this beast tide, and Lin Bei killed through the masters of the clan and was almost destroyed.

Now, the Zhou family's two powerful and nine-level combat powers are no longer there.

Naturally, the three major families would not let go of such a good opportunity. Like a pack of wolves smelling blood, they swarmed up to divide and annex the Zhou family's property.

Since then, the four major families in Changsheng Town have become the three major families.

Perhaps, after the next beast tide, these three families will reshuffle their cards again.

Or maybe, the next beast tide will directly destroy Changsheng Town, and new forces will flood in again to establish a new order.

In short, after the beast tide, the "Zhou Papi" Zhou family that people talked about no longer exists!
Lu family.

Lu Anbai put a stack of banknotes into an exquisite wooden box, and handed them to a very dependent young clansman: "Go and give the 500 taels of silver to Lin Bei."

"Remember, don't lose your etiquette, if you can, try to make friends with him!"

"Yes, patriarch!"

The young man withdrew the wooden box.

The same scene also happened in Lu's house.

The Patriarch of the Lu family ordered a family member to go and give gifts.

The family's children were a little puzzled: "That Lin Bei is indeed extraordinary, but he is only one person after all, why should our Lu family have a big business to curry favor with him?"

The Patriarch of the Lu family shook his head, hating iron for being weak and said: "It's not to please, but not to offend!"

"It's been a waste of training you all these years, and you can't even see this kind of knowledge?"

The head of the Lu family stared at the disciple with sharp eyes: "Let me ask you, how did the Zhou family fall?"

The disciple shrank his eyes and said, "Of course it's because he offended Lin Bei and killed most of the high-level combat power... But our Lu family didn't offend him. He shouldn't be so bloodthirsty, right?"

"Our Lu family didn't offend him, but our three major families annexed the Zhou family's property, shouldn't we show something?"

The Patriarch of the Lu family snorted coldly: "This man in Lin Bei is not a man in a pool, so there is no need to make friends with him. He does not belong here, but he must never be offended!"

"He destroyed the Zhou family. Although he might not take over the property under his command, we have benefited for nothing. If he doesn't pursue us, he has to express it!"

He stroked his beard, looked up into the distance, and said hey: "If I'm not wrong, those two old guys are probably doing the same thing as me, cunning old fox!"

The disciple finally understood it, secretly admired him, and withdrew respectfully.

……

After sending away the disciples of several big families, Lin Bei closed the gate of the courtyard.

He clapped the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, shook his head and laughed, and said, "Treading a horse is called a sophistication!"

He has close to 500 taels of silver bills in his hand, all sent by the three major families. It is a thick stack, and just holding it makes people feel very at ease.

No one asks the poor in the downtown area, and the rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

When the strength is strong, the worldly wisdom will naturally be delivered to the door.

If it weren't for the strength of the No. 1 Changsheng Town in Linbei, after the three major families annexed the Zhou family, they would probably be silent and not fart.

But now, they personally sent their disciples to give money to their door, and they even wanted to make friends with him.

However, Lin Bei didn't want to make friends with these guys.

It's just the stupid son of the landlord's family, with limited potential, making friends with them will only waste my time.

"One thousand five hundred taels of silver, plus the one thousand taels of silver sent by brother Cui, and my own savings, now I am sitting on a huge sum of 500 taels of silver!"

Lin Bei spread the banknotes in front of his eyes, and sighed.

3000 taels of silver!
I am afraid that the three major landlords and riches may not be able to come up with so much cash!
Most of their property is real estate, which is a source of continuous and stable income. However, there are many members of the family and the expenses are high, so it may not be possible to spend 3000 taels of silver at one time.

After all, they are only town-level landlords, and they are not comparable to those real aristocratic families.

Although pretending to be very similar, it is not after all!

"With these 3000 taels of silver, I can advance to the Ninth Level of Qi and Blood faster!"

Lin Bei's eyes lit up.

"Before I knew it, I had become the No. 1 in Changsheng Town. Maybe I should leave this place after the breakthrough energy and blood are completed!"

His combat strength has already stood at the top of Changsheng Town, and it is no exaggeration to say that Changsheng Town No. 1.

Now, his cultivation level is about to reach the ceiling of Changsheng Town.
