I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Half an hour later, six people were captured and brought to the Taoist training ground.

They were all tied up and kneeling on the ground trembling. Because their mouths were stuffed with cloth, they could only make "woohoo" sounds with all their might. Their eyes looked extremely pitiful.

Feng Hui, who was in charge of capturing the people, knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Yuan and said shamefully, "Sir, one of the Taoist soldiers has not been found. I have ordered people to search the city. I failed to complete the task. Please punish me, sir!"

As the saying goes, it is better to let my friend die than to let me die. Feng Hui has been able to survive in Xiyuan until now, so he naturally knows how to judge the situation.

He saw that Zhang Yuan, a new official, was eager to make three moves and was trying to establish his authority by using those who disregarded military orders, so he carried out the latter's orders without hesitation.

Even among those kneeling on the martial arts field at this moment, there are Feng Hui’s relatives and clansmen.

In the deputy general's opinion, keeping such a stupid and ignorant person would only be a burden to him, so it would be better to let Zhang Yuan kill him like a chicken.

That's why he silenced all these people!
Zhang Yuan saw through Feng Hui's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "You have done a good job. You have no faults. You can punish these people."

Zhang Yuan said it lightly, but Feng Hui felt awe in his heart.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would actually ask him to carry out the execution?

Could it be that Zhang Yuan knew that among the six people there were his relatives and clansmen?
Feng Hui didn't dare to think about it any further.

The more I think about it, the more frightened I become!

"how?"

The next moment, he heard Zhang Yuan's indifferent voice: "Is there a problem?"

Feng Hui suddenly came to his senses and quickly replied loudly: "Yes, sir!"

He stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth, drew out the sword he carried with him, and strode towards the six people.

The six people knew that a disaster was about to happen. Some of them collapsed to the ground, some burst into tears, and some struggled desperately.

There was also a young warrior who looked at Feng Hui with pleading eyes.

This person has a very close relationship with Feng Hui, being the latter's nephew, and is usually highly appreciated by Feng Hui.

The fact that he was able to become a Taoist soldier was also the result of Feng Hui's great cultivation.

I didn't expect that this deep love would become a fatal weapon!

Feng Hui tried hard not to look into the other person's eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "Ziming, don't blame Third Uncle for being ruthless, you can only blame yourself for asking for death, rest in peace!"

Click!

He raised his sword and chopped off the Taoist soldier's head.

After killing the nephews and nephews who were the most difficult to target, Feng Hui would show no mercy to others. He swung his sword and chopped off five more heads.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another, and the bright red blood was shocking to see.

The hundreds of soldiers and auxiliary troops present witnessed this scene and were all filled with awe.

They no longer looked down on Zhang Yuan at all!

When Feng Hui's execution was over, Zhang Yuan, who was standing on the platform, shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, you have worked hard to defend Xiyuan and have made great contributions. You deserve to be rewarded. Therefore, starting from next month, the monthly salary of the Taoist soldiers will be increased by ten taels, and the monthly salary of the auxiliary soldiers will be increased by five taels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the martial arts arena fell silent.

The soldiers looked at each other.

Feng Hui reacted the fastest, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, my Lord. You are so mighty!"

Following his lead, others reacted immediately.

Everyone bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your generous gift, sir, you are so mighty!"

In an instant, the mighty voice resounded throughout the Taoist camp and even spread to farther places, even to the Taoist government office.

Both the Taoist soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers were very happy.

Although their salaries are not low, the prices in Xiyuan City are also high. They have to support their families and practice martial arts to keep fit, so the burden is not light.

As soon as Zhang Yuan arrived, he gave everyone a raise and was quite generous. Who could not be impressed?
The previous shock and fear suddenly dissipated, and everyone was filled with joy.

But Feng Hui was worried. After Zhang Yuan announced the end of the meeting, he immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, the salary will be paid in seven days. Should we discuss the salary increase with Lord Fei?"

The deputy general was worried that Zhang Yuan would get angry, so he read Zhang Yuan's expressions carefully and kept a very low profile.

Taoist city is different from ordinary county towns. All expenses of Taoist camp, including soldiers' salaries, are not funded by the sect.

This money was paid by the Dao Yamen!

The provincial government was in charge of the taxation of the provincial city, and the provincial officials held the financial power, so they were able to control the provincial camp in this regard.

Now that Zhang Yuan has suddenly announced a pay increase, it would be reasonable and logical for him to discuss this with Fei Hongming first.

However, Feng Hui didn't think that Zhang Yuan had mentioned this to Fei Hongming.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I'll pay for it."

What?
Feng Hui almost broke down on the spot.

He really couldn't believe his ears and suspected that he was hallucinating.

Zhang Yuan actually has to pay out of his own pocket to subsidize the soldiers?
Feng Hui had never encountered anything like this before!

You have to know that in the past, it was considered a noble character for the Taoist generals not to withhold military pay. After all, the cultivation of a Taoist general also requires a huge investment of resources, and the rations from the sect can only meet part of the needs.

Feng Hui couldn't understand Zhang Yuan's behavior, and couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, this is not a small amount of money!"

The salary of the road soldiers was increased by ten taels of silver. If the full quota was 300 people, three thousand taels of silver would need to be paid per month.

Seven hundred auxiliary soldiers plus five taels, a total of three thousand five hundred taels.

The total amount is six thousand five hundred taels of silver, which means an extra expense of more than seventy thousand taels a year!
Zhang Yuan sneered: "What's this little bit of silver?"

At the beginning, he salvaged a huge amount of gold, silver and treasures in Damengze, and then seized countless trophies from killing enemies and looting corpses. Currently, there is at least a million silver coins stored in the storage space.

Even if Zhang Yuan paid 100,000 yuan out of his own pocket a year, it would only be 300,000 yuan in three years!

He was not short of money at all, but the rare treasures he needed were difficult to buy with gold and silver.

Besides, Zhang Yuan’s money will not be spent in vain.

As long as he is willing, there are plenty of ways to get it back double!

Feng Hui was speechless.

Zhang Yuan's tone and expression were definitely not fake, he really didn't care about money, he was wealthy and had a solid foundation.

I have to say, this method of spending money is really effective.

Zhang Yuan had just taken office, and through this combination of kindness and force, he won over the hearts of the people in the Taoist camp.

Even Feng Hui himself couldn't help but have the idea of ​​surrendering.

Although this boss is young, he is really capable!
But Feng Hui had no idea that when he wanted to join Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan looked down on a gangster like him!

Feng Hui thought for a moment and then asked, "Sir, do you want to visit the Dao Ya?"

"talk later."

Zhang Yuan lazily replied: "Master Fei is so busy, and I am busy too, so there is no need to bother him anymore."

Feng Hui was stunned.

Zhang Yuan was clearly trying to make things difficult for Fei Hongming, and he didn't even give this Taoist official any face!

Thinking of what happened at Chunjiang Tower last night, Feng Hui felt as if millions of ants were crawling in his heart.

However, Zhang Yuan didn't want to pay any more attention to him and walked away on his own. (End of this chapter)
