Longevity starts with learning

Perhaps it was a pay day, and the inspection station, which usually didn't have many people even if it was open to the public, was overcrowded and noisy at this time.

Chu Mu stared blankly at the banknotes in his hands, feeling a little confused at the moment.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he had only been working at the inspection station for four or five days.

And his monthly salary is only eight silver dollars.

All in all, in terms of salary, his monthly salary is only more than one silver at most.

But now, he was holding a dozen banknotes in his hand, amounting to more than nine silver!

"Haha, you're stupid!"

He Ergou collected the money, put his arm around Chu Mu's shoulders, and smiled miserably.

Chu Mu raised his head, moved away inadvertently, and looked at He Ergou in confusion: "This much money is..."

He Ergou's big trumpet mouth suddenly blared: "Everyone is the same, we receive double salary, one part is the salary given to us by the court, and the other part is the reward from above..."

Chu Mu had some vague understanding, but he still asked tentatively: "How much is this reward?"

He Ergou raised his hand, pointed in the direction of the mine, and lowered his voice a little: "The mine is the cornucopia of our county. Every time mineral materials are sent to the county, the county will withhold part of it."

"Mining materials are so expensive. Think about it, our mine has thousands of corvees digging day and night. How much does that cost?"

"The master above eats meat, but he can't let us drink soup!"

"Everyone with official status in our county has a double salary..."

Chu Mu swallowed his saliva. He found that he was still too naive. He originally thought that the big net of interests was quite far away from him. Who would have thought that his small inspection was also in the net...

He really wanted to ask if there was a gentleman named Lei Luo in Qinghe County.

This pure black gold empire!

Finally, Chu Mu asked: "Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the higher-ups when you are so ostentatious?"

He Ergou curled his lips: "Do you think the gentlemen in the county are not greedy?"

"Who can have trouble with money?"

"Besides, who dares to investigate?"

Chu Mu didn't ask any more questions. A large network of interests connected all the ruling classes in Qinghe County, and it would inevitably involve the county.

Such a huge profit network, unless there is a complete liquidation from the bottom up, or there is Zhu Yuanzhang's determination and power to kill people at a higher level, otherwise, it is impossible to shake it with ordinary small fights. slightest.

At this moment, Chu Mu felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. He wanted to find a history book and take a closer look at what the Chu world was like.

"Now you know the benefits of our inspection!"

He Ergou made a careless noise, then changed the topic suddenly, hugged Chu Mu and said with a smile: "How about I borrow some money, and I will pay you back next month!"

"Newcomer, don't believe him. No matter how long this bastard borrows money, he will pay it back. He will end up dying in a woman's body sooner or later!"

He Ergou immediately became angry, rushed up and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about! Are you looking for trouble?"

"Oh, you dog has a bad temper. Why, did I say something wrong?"

"My grass (a kind of grass)..."

Such a change should not be too sudden. Before Chu Mu could even react to the matter of borrowing money, He Ergou got into a fight with someone.

It's just... Although He Ergou struck first, it seemed... he was the one who was beaten...

Fortunately, there were a lot of patrols around, and there were even more teams. Soon, with a scolding, there were patrols rushing to start a fight.

Then the two of them were tied up and taken away, and there was a dark-faced Baihu next to them. It was obvious that there would be absolutely nothing good for the two of them to do next.

"Uh uh..."

Chu Mu blinked his eyes. He suddenly wanted to lend money to He Ergou. It didn't matter whether he got the money or not.

This He Ergou was really pitiful. He asked him to borrow money twice, but each time he didn't have time to shirk or even say anything before he was taken away.

"Am I considered to have received illegal money?"

Chu Mu lowered his head and glanced at the banknotes in his hand. He had a conscience. He, a good young man of the new century, had only been in this world for more than ten days, and yet he actually collected black money?

Chu Mu silently put the money into his arms. The thickness of the already thick stack of banknotes increased a little, just like the skill proficiency on the light screen panel increased.

Well... feel at ease...

Chu Mu estimated that he would feel more at ease if he received a monthly salary of sixteen silver next month.

"Brother Mu!"

After walking a few steps, Chu Mu's shoulders were hugged again.

"I'll invite you to Fengyue Tower later in the evening!"

This time, Chu Mu did not move away. He glanced at the banknotes in Xu Yuan's hand and said with a hint: "You kid got rich?"

"That's a must!"

Xu Yuan chuckled, then carefully looked around, then leaned into Chu Mu's ear: "Brother Mu, I've made a fortune!"

Chu Mu pretended to be confused: "Get rich?"

"At least this number!"

Xu Yuan opened his hands and gestured with a number.

"Twenty silver?"

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. The black market price was twenty coppers per pound of iron. Twenty silver equals one hundred pounds of iron. Even a newcomer like Xu Yuan could get twenty silver. Their gang had stolen it. How much iron?

However, when he thought about the size of the mine, Chu Mu felt a little relieved. Thousands of corvees worked day and night. The amount of iron they stole was probably only a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the mine.

The real bosses are the old men in the county.

All officials in the county have double salaries. Even the scale of this soup is so large, you can imagine how terrible the big head of meat will be.

I thought Chu Mu would be curious and ask, but after waiting for a long time, Chu Mu didn't say anything. Xu Yuan couldn't help asking:

"Brother Mu, aren't you curious about where I made my fortune?"

Chu Mu shook his head: "Keep your own secrets to yourself, don't tell me!"

Xu Yuan was stunned, then grinned: "Isn't this to you, Brother Mu, not someone else!"

Chu Mu waved his hand and changed the subject: "You just said you would invite me to Fengyue Tower for dinner tonight, right?"

Xu Yuan immediately became excited: "Brother Mu, you don't know, Fengyue Tower..."

Chu Mu glanced at Xu Yuan's excited look, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Fengyue Tower, you can tell its nature by listening to the name.

A place to eat, drink and have fun.

If Chu Mu remembered correctly, Xu Yuan probably didn't even grow hair, but he actually ran to that place to have fun?

A small horse pulling a big cart?

Can it pull it?

Chu Mu suddenly became curious and couldn't help looking Xu Yuan up and down.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Mu didn't answer, but asked: "When did you go to Fengyue Tower?"

"I went there with Qianhu last time!"

Chu Mu looked a little strange: "So you went there alone again?"

"Hehe..."

Xu Yuan was obviously a little embarrassed, and just laughed.

Chu Mu was even more speechless...
