He also doesn't want Cher to follow him in the future and get involved in the struggle for power.
Han Yingxue's eyes lit up.
"Zhao Qishan, Ao, that's not right, Xuanyuan Ling, if that's the case, don't you have a lot of money that you can't spend?" Han Yingxue looked at Xuanyuan Ling eagerly.
The identity of this guy is so awesome. After that, the identity will be revealed, and it's worth it.
Thinking about that county magistrate, she was really weak. Knowing Xuanyuanling's true identity, she didn't go back to the prison in the first place, which made her suffer in the prison for a few days in vain, and her body stinks.
"Cough cough..." Xuanyuan Ling coughed lightly, why Xue Er didn't play cards according to common sense.
"You answer me? Are you rich?"
"I..." Xuanyuan Ling smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I don't have much money, I lead the court's five hundred taels of silver every year..."
"Five hundred taels a year?"
"Well, yes! I am not greedy or robbing, and I will never accept anything sent by others. What else can I have if I receive silver from the imperial court?"
“…”
Han Yingxue originally thought that the officials were very rich. Think about it, which of those rich people did not greedy for money by squeezing the common people.
Xuanyuanling is not a corrupt official, Han Yingxue can feel his righteousness, so he only takes silver in a year, and only so much money.
Han Yingxue patted Xuanyuanling on the shoulder and sighed.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Xuanyuan Ling asked in confusion.
"You've earned too little this year. How can you support me in the future? Let me do the math for you. If I become a general's wife, at least I have a few sets of clothes of some grade, right? How many taels of silver can I have left? Besides, when the time comes, another official lady will invite me, so I can send some gifts over there? Where can I spend these five hundred taels?"
Han Yingxue said and sighed again.
500 taels sounds like a lot, but as your identity goes up, the level of consumption naturally goes up.
500 taels, for the high officials of Kyoto, is not enough for a single consumption.
"Xue'er, otherwise, I'll be greedy too, I can get a lot of money..." Xuanyuan Ling said.
Han Yingxue waved his hand, "Farewell, it's not good to be too greedy, we can earn the money ourselves, we can't squeeze it from the common people!"
In this era, productivity was already low, and it was difficult to even eat enough food. To squeeze from the common people will kill many people.
"Hmm..." Xuanyuan Ling nodded, he really never thought about corruption in the past. Otherwise, with his power means, he can greedy a lot.
"Then why don't I ask my subordinates to hand over all the silver to me? This Shangguan Rui also has three hundred taels of silver a year..."
Han Yingxue scolded Xuanyuan Ling and said, "How can you do that? People have to marry and have children, and save their wife's books. How can you take their Fengyin like this! Besides, people follow you to death, and you still oppress them, it's too unkind. Now, with a master like you, who would dare to follow in the future..."
"Also... so what should I do, Xue Er, I only have five hundred silver a year, which is not enough for you."
"You have been guarding the frontier for so many years, and you have worked hard and made great achievements. Didn't the emperor reward you a little?"
When mentioned the emperor, Xuanyuanling's expression changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and said, "How could he give me something..."
