Among the military officers present, Yang Wenguang and Pan Feng received the largest share of the profits.
Both of them owned five shops and received the largest share of the profits.
Yang Wenguang did this because he owned some shops, and he had also taken some money from his wife after working tirelessly for several days.
That's why so many were opened.
Pan Feng, on the other hand, gambled her entire fortune and borrowed every penny she could to open five shops.
Xing Daorong looked at Pan Feng, who had gambled everything on the past, and felt extremely regretful.
If I had known, I would have opened two more stores.
The lowest-paid generals were a few miscellaneous officers; they didn't receive much salary and could only afford to open a shop together.
Even so, each of them received tens of thousands of taels of silver.
After distributing all the silver, Li Chang'an raised his wine cup and addressed them.
"The money has been distributed. In a few days, the battle between us and the major grain merchants will also be decided."
"Everyone just needs to work hard for a few more days. Once this period is over, everyone can take a break."
Pan Feng raised his wine cup and said loudly, "My lord, we have not worked hard, but you have. I toast you, my lord, and wish you a prosperous future."
Xing Daorong chimed in, "That's right. Following the Marquis means making money and earning silver. I, Old Xing, am willing to endure this hardship for the rest of my life."
"Hahaha!"
The generals all laughed and said, "Me too!"
Seeing their appearance, Li Chang'an finished his drink in one gulp.
"I don't like nonsense either, so I'm too lazy to say anything more."
"Gold is the best answer for you."
"Here, I wish everyone a prosperous and wealthy year!"
Upon hearing this, the generals finished their drinks and spoke.
"May you be happy and prosperous!"
After the money was distributed, it was done according to the usual procedure.
Inviting someone to dinner.
After all, for a true Chinese person, the way to express joy is through eating.
If one meal isn't enough, then have two.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating meat and drinking alcohol with gusto.
They didn't care what they were eating.
With tens of thousands of taels of silver in hand, they didn't even need to eat a single bean when they drank.
Just a glance at the silver beside me is enough to accompany my drinks.
Pan Feng was so excited that she even forgot the miserable state she had incurred while drinking rice wine at the military camp last time.
I forgot what happened after I finished drinking; a gust of wind blew me down, and I fell asleep on the ground, never to wake up again.
His mind was filled with joy.
Li Chang'an held up his wine glass and kept urging people to drink: "It's homemade rice wine, it doesn't have much alcohol, everyone drink up, drink more."
Looking at the wine in front of him, Yang Wenguang couldn't help but retort, "Lord Marquis, you also said last time that it had little alcohol content, but after everyone drank it, they all collapsed after being exposed to the wind outside."
"What does that have to do with alcohol?"
Li Chang'an replied, "The wind has an alcohol content, what does that have to do with wine? When you drink it, you don't get knocked out, do you?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, agreeing that it made sense.
The banquet left everyone in a daze, babbling incoherently, and some even started fighting as they drank.
However, he was then pinned to the ground and knocked unconscious by the others.
What a joke! This is a marquis's residence, not a royal palace where you can act recklessly.
After they finished drinking and left, Li Chang'an sat in the hall, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, lit one, and began to think.
They're utterly useless!
We still need to cultivate our own team. The Confucian sage is already on his way back, and in a few days we can arrange educational work.
The establishment of primary, secondary, and tertiary schools is urgently needed.
Li Chang'an felt that he was anxious about everything, but also not anxious at all.
Because nothing can be accomplished in a short time.
To fight the Japanese pirates, clean up corrupt officials, improve the productivity of the people, improve education for all citizens, eliminate land annexation by powerful families, and sweep the borders of several countries.
Li Chang'an felt a headache coming on when he thought about what he had to do.
Sometimes he also wanted to combine with the Emperor Armor and violently kill his way through.
But then I felt that after killing them all, I would have nothing else to do.
Li Chang'an wasn't afraid of difficulties; he was only afraid of boredom.
Having been here for over a year, Li Chang'an clearly felt that his body had not changed at all.
His beard, hair, and nails showed no signs of growth.
All of these things reveal a terrifying truth: he may be immortal.
After testing by Sha Niu, it was confirmed that this was indeed possible.
Because his body has no metabolism; apart from excreting some water every day, he has no metabolic function whatsoever.
This is why Youchu hasn't gotten pregnant after all this time.
Even the Childbirth Pill wouldn't work, because his physical strength exceeds the system's capabilities.
He may never be able to have children in this lifetime.
"well!"
Li Chang'an sighed, feeling somewhat sorry for Lin Youchu for depriving her of the right to be a mother.
Now Luoyang has also come knocking, leaving him unsure how to handle the situation.
The only option is to neither refuse nor deny, but to maintain an ambiguous distance.
He felt ashamed because of this open and aboveboard act of bringing his mistress home.
It's fortunate this is ancient times; if this were modern times, it would probably have been torn to shreds by some rural boxing master from a book.
But that's not necessarily true; most of the people they target are those who don't have money.
Those with money generally don't dare to rush in.
This is why most boxers are in the virtual world, not the real world.
