An Xin looked at Chao Feng, who was stunned by his senior brother, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
This kid is probably still secretly having fun climbing on top of me.
Just as An Xin thought, Chao Feng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this moment. In fact, he was already happy in his heart. He had already thought that he would find ways to embarrass An Xin when he returned to the East Island.
Gu Tian also caught a glimpse of Chao Feng's raised corners of his mouth. I couldn't help but shudder, how could this guy stay undercover in Xingxu Palace for 8 years without any incident? Wu Xing looks like a very excited person, can't he be such a happy undercover agent that he can't see it?
Suddenly something seemed to come to mind. It was probably because an undercover agent with such an expression on his face could have been undercover in Xingxu Palace for so many years. No wonder Wuxing would rather suffer a loss than let his junior brother be his son-in-law. If it were him, he would probably make the same choice. Thinking about this, I can't help but sympathize with the second best person in the world.
While the three of them were having their own thoughts and drinking tea in silence.
"Come on, everyone, slow down, the inn is almost here."
Li Ye's voice broke the silence of the hall.
The three of them looked at each other. I saw Li Ye leading 6 coolies back to the inn.
Each coolie came to the inn carrying two large bags of rice.
"Mr. An, where are you keeping this food?"
Li Ye walked to An Xin and said with a smile.
An Xin took a key and pointed to the opposite side:
"No, the house opposite with the plaque of "Magical Medicine Pavilion" is also mine. You guys moved over there. The space over there is big enough."
When Li Ye heard An Xin's words, he nodded, took the key from An Xin's hand, and led the coolie to the "Magic Doctor Pavilion" opposite.
The three of them watched Li Ye leave without saying anything. If the world is going to be in chaos, collecting food is what all smart people must do, so there is nothing interesting to talk about.
The three of them watched boredly as a few coolies moved back and forth eight times, then took their wages from Li Ye and left. They were all stunned, it was over.
Both Chaofeng and Anxin knew that they gave Li Ye 100 taels of silver to buy grain. Are prices so expensive now? They bought so much grain for 100 taels.
Gu Tianze didn't understand the situation and said:
"Junior brother An, I know you are frugal, but don't be stingy at this time. Just buying this little food is not enough."
An Xin didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Chao Feng on the side replied:
"Senior Brother Gu, you have misunderstood Junior Brother An. Junior Brother An spent 100 taels of food to buy food. I guess he only bought so much because of rising prices."
Gu Tian shook his head:
"Impossible. Dongdao is working hard to stock up on grain every day. I know the price of grain very well. There are at least 200 bags of grain for 100 taels. I just saw that the coolies bought more than 90 bags in total. I guess that guy is dishonest. , swallowed the money."
An Xin shook his head, but did not draw a conclusion so quickly. When Li Ye returned to the inn, he asked:
"Li Ye, didn't I ask you to use all your money to buy food? Why did you buy so much?"
Li Ye was also stunned when he heard An Xin's question:
"Mr. An, all the 100 taels have been spent, and the food has been placed opposite. Go and check."
"No, I bought more than 90 bags of grain for 100 taels. What kind of expensive variety did you buy?"
"It's just ordinary rice. I spent 40 taels to buy 96 bags of rice, and then gave the coolies 10 taels each as a reward to make them work harder."
Li Ye saw An Xin puzzled and explained seriously.
"What, you said you gave each coolie a reward of 10 taels."
An Xin couldn't hold it back anymore, stood up and shouted.
The sound was so loud that the three people practicing martial arts in the back hall were startled. They quickly put away their posture and came to the hall together.
Li Ye looked at An Xin's eyes that were staring at him, and his aura weakened. He lowered his head and said weakly:
"I saw that those coolies had red marks on their shoulders and bruises all over their bodies. I felt sorry for them, so I gave each of them a reward of 10 taels of silver."
Everyone's minds went blank after hearing Li Ye's explanation. 10 taels of silver reward, how on earth can this guy say it? Even Qiu Sheng, who is usually kind-hearted and honest, frowned. In his impression, rewards can be given, but the maximum is one or two cents. If more, it is not a reward, but charity.
Gu Tianze looked at Li Ye as if he were a rare species. This guy turned out to be the young master of the Li family in Luo City. Fortunately, the Li family was wiped out by the First Palace in the Northwest. Otherwise, the Li family would probably end up in the hands of this guy in the future. It would be better to be destroyed.
An Xin sighed and sat down helplessly:
"There are two ways for ordinary people to live in this world. One is to use their brains to eat. I know Shen Wanshang, the richest businessman in Jiangnan, who relies on his clever brain to eat. The other is to rely on his body to eat, like Uncle Wang, who sells vegetables. Use some effort to deliver some food to each family and feed them.
But you are different, you live by God's charity. Forget it, you've already given it, I can't do the embarrassing thing of asking for the reward back. "
When Li Ye heard An Xin's words, he still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. If being kind-hearted is wrong, then the whole world is wrong. Seeing Li Ye's stubborn eyes, Qiu Sheng walked to Li Ye and said:
"Li Ye, I know you are kind-hearted, and it is right to give rewards, but if you give too much, if there are more coolies in the inn in the future, without rewards, these people will be lazy. And you use the boss's money. , I think it’s a bit unethical to ask yourself to do good deeds.”
Li Ye heard Qiu Sheng's reminder and said quickly:
"No, I think they are all honest and responsible people. I gave more rewards today. I believe these people will work harder in the future. As for what you said about using Mr. An's money to do good things, I did not give credit to them. For myself, when I gave them money, I always told them that Mr. An was the one who rewarded them.”
"What the hell, you actually ruined my reputation, Yin Ren, beat him up."
"No~ No, I'm doing good things. I'm not ruining your reputation."
Li Ye watched Yin Ren blow his fist and explained quickly.
"What a fart, you are kind-hearted. If you give him two or three taels of silver as a reward, these people will say that I am kind. If you give him a tael of silver, others will praise me for my generosity. But what you gave to the horse rider is 10 taels of silver. You If you think these people who have received rewards will say good things about me, they will definitely say that I am a fool in front of my friends. I will beat Yin Ren so hard that his father will not even recognize him. Go up and kick Chao Feng. "A few feet."
