Chen Mu sold all the heads, not only the heads, but also the captive Shao Tingda and the heads on Shi Qi. After asking him what he meant, all the eight heads and one captives were verbally traded to Zhang Yongshou.

It was the first time in his life that Chen Mu did not know much about this, but Zhang Yongshou was familiar with it. He simply explained to Chen Mu and Shao Tingda and Shi Qi, and then smiled and decided to go to Guangzhou Prefecture to see the government rewards and give them money. Then he handed over the head to him.

Since you cannot have both promotion and wealth, Chen Mu must have chosen to fill his stomach first. Now he does not have a clear and comprehensive understanding of this era. The higher the official position, the more likely it is to make mistakes, so he is not in a hurry to get promoted, but he is not able to do it now without money. If he wants to make holes, his first task is to make a few large iron pots for making nitrogen, and the other equipment is not enough to make money.

In his current financial situation, he can get two taels of silver wherever he goes. Even if he goes back and pays the salary, he still sells the three stones of brown rice. This is the discomfort of the military officers at the garrison. He obviously comes from the small flag of the seventh rank and has a monthly salary of seven stones, but after he is given it, he only has three stones left. He is like a person who is not a grade, but he has not yet picked it up.

Chen Mu moved his fingers to calculate. He watched his subordinate Ding Zhuzhong for more than half a year in the garrison, and then patrolled the city walls for several months. He could buy about 800 taels of silver for money all year round.

After all the calculations, the more depressed he became. Finally, Chen Mu slapped on the thigh and cursed: "Damn it, I can't stand Wang Po's pulling a slim body for Ximen Qingpan Jinlian!"

Wang Po earned ten taels of silver for Ximen Qingpan Jinlian!

Even the small flag is like this, let alone the military households?

It’s no wonder that Shao Tingda asked Chen Mu if he would kill him when he encountered the opportunity to kill Liang and take the credit... If he didn’t kill Liang or thieves, his military households would be killed by heaven.

But then again, the brave ones subdued dragons and tigers, and the timid ones feed cats and rabbits. Chen Mu is not a sentimental pretentious lover, and he has not reached the level of helping the world. He can't keep himself alone, so he can't control others. He can make a fortune by making this first-level deal.

Before he arrived at Guangzhou Prefecture, no one could be sure how many taels of silver the Black Ridge bandits would be. However, both Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou estimated that Chen Mu's head level could be worth at least ten taels, his annual salary!

Ten taels of silver, except for returning to Qingyuan to buy iron pots and other utensils, Chen Mu thought about buying another bird gun. Perhaps it would be okay if he didn't buy it. He looked at the bad gun on his hand that looked like a fire stick. He would definitely be reluctant to leave it if he lost it. He wanted to wait until he returned to the ward to try his luck and see if there was any military craftsman who could repair it.

Although, hope is slim.

It may save too much money. As Bai Yuanjie said, it is not as good as the Mingbird gun of the Japanese gun. Even if the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works directly make one, the cost alone will not be less than four taels of silver.

However, Chen Mu no longer had to worry about this matter. On the second day after he and Zhang Yongshou agreed to the head of the deal, Zhang Yongshou asked his subordinates to send Chen Mu a Ming-made bird gun with no wear and tear on the barrel.

Zhang Yongshou smiled and scolded his military commander while explaining to Chen Mu that in the night battle, he used this gun to kill another one, so he didn't let the boy use it. When he returned to Qingyuanwei this time, he would send the man to farm.

This bright gun has fired a total of more than ten guns, and it is brand new.

Although he had killed a fellow comrade Ming Jun, Chen Mu would not feel unlucky, so he was joking! Chen Xiaoqi had five lives in his hand and had just finished a big deal with eight heads. He was still afraid of this unlucky?

“So expensive?”

Chen Mu crossed his legs and listened to Bai Yuanjie telling him the cost of a bird gun, and then he saw Bai Yuanjie chuckling and said with a few knowledge: "Forty kilograms of iron to eight kilograms, and if there are wood, charcoal, copper, and labor, it's more than four kilograms. Besides, do you dare to use a bird gun of two kilograms?"

Bai Yuanjie really said this. The combrot gun is not like a firing gun that is fixed to load. After pulling the trigger, the fuse head inserted into the fuse hits the gun bed to ignite the gunpowder. It takes nearly half a second to ignite the medicine in the gun barrel and even fire lead balls... For Chen Mu, the whole process is the most scary thing about the gunpowder on the gun bed. For half a second, the most fearful thing is, for fear of bad luck. The next moment, the bird gun explodes and breaks into pieces.

A bird gun of two liang is like holding an explosive iron pipe in your hand. Who dares to use it?

Seeing Chen Mu laughing, Bai Yuanjie didn't say much. When he saw Chen Mu wrap the abandoned Japanese gun in the carriage and replace it with the Mingbird gun, he knew that their deal had been settled. He knew that Zhang Yongshou wanted to get these military achievements, but he did not find Bai Yuanjie who shot three thieves in the battle, but came to Chen Mu. Zhang Yongshou was a smart man and knew that even if he found Bai Yuanjie, Bai Yuanjie would not send his first level of merit for some money.

In terms of origin, Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou are the same type of people. Their ancestors have both become third-rank officials like the commander of the Qingyuan Guard. The family has a profound background in Qingyuan and even Guangzhou Prefecture, and can be promoted if they have merits. Even if the difference is, it is just that Bai Yuanjie's ancestors have received hundreds of family members but Zhang Yongshou has not. Therefore, Zhang Yongshou needs merits to make his official position move upward.

Chen Mu is different. His ancestors have been small flags for generations. The lowest-level officer in the garrison station is still a problem for his livelihood. Everyone knows that he will definitely sell his head.

Bai Yuanjie knew about this, but he did not come forward to tell Chen Mu just because he was Chen Mu's direct subordinate Shangguan. If he went to talk about it, it would seem that the matter would be unquestionable.

"You did the right thing. If you sell the head to Yongshou, you can get the same silver money as the government, but you may not get a new gun, right?" Bai Yuanjie said and laughed, her towering cheekbones looked very firm. She glanced into the distance, sighed for some reason, and said with a slightly deeper look: "This is the world. Your merits are one head short of your title, and you can get the real chief flag. But if you really wait for Guangzhou Prefecture to give you a position, you don't know how many years you have to wait to live a good life with the money."

Chen Mu didn't know why Bai Yuanjie suddenly became sentimental... She sold at least ten taels of silver at the head and also dropped a bird gun. She was so happy that she would be so dissatisfied. But she didn't know what expression she had at the moment, but she just nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"Bai killed your flag manager. He wanted to lead the horse to escape, so he had to do it." Bai Yuanjie stood up and patted the soil on her body. As the bonfire flashed, half of her face was stuck in the shadow and could not see her happiness and anger. She breathed and turned her head to look at Chen Mu and smiled friendlyly, and said softly, "Don't blame Bai."

After saying that, Bai Yuanjie turned around and left, but Chen Mu suddenly remembered that on the night when he and Zhang Yongshou made a deal, when he got up and peed at night, he found that a bannerman under Zhang Yongshou was dragged into the woods by several people, and never appeared again.
