Chapter 148.2

Chapter 148.2

The man was somewhat surprised: You really dont know about this? It seems you must be beggars from out of town. Then, out of great compassion, I will tell you! Actually, its not difficult at all. As long as you follow the imperial court to work on road construction, toil willingly, and endure the hardships, you can earn a monthly wage of 300 wen!

The disciples of the Beggar Sect were shocked.

Getting paid to work on road construction for the court?

And 300 wen per month?

This truly overturned their understanding.

In their minds, working for the court usually brought no profit; getting meals provided was already considered good enough.

Because this was corve labor, you had to do it whether you wanted to or not.

But now, not only does the Great Xia dynasty provide food, but they also pay wages?

300 wen every month!

Oh my goodness!

Thats way too much money!

They all felt a bit sorry for the Great Xia Emperor!

Tsk! Whats the big deal? This is a common occurrence in our Great Xia!

The man spoke incessantly, In our Great Xia, not only building roads, mining, clearing fields for farming, constructing houses, and so on, as long as youre willing to put in the effort and work hard, then youll have money to take home!

Building roads earns you 300 wen in wages, mining and house construction also pay 300 wen, its just that clearing fields for farming pays a little less, only 200 wen, but you get grain, you see, you can get sixty percent of the grain yield every year!

The disciples of the Beggar Sect were once again shocked: The Great Xia dynasty treats you all so well?

Its all thanks to His Majestys blessings that we can live the life we want!

The man bowed in the direction of the capital city, speaking with reverence, If it werent for His Majesty, I wouldnt even know where to hide and beg!

Right now, I dont want anything else; I just want to work hard and earn money! Then buy a concrete house, marry a girl from the textile mill, and have two chubby boys, haha!

The man shouldered his hoe and turned to the completely stunned disciples of the Beggar Sect, advising them earnestly, Im telling you, theres no future in being a beggar! Even if you do it exceptionally well, youre still a beggar, looked down upon by others! Its better to work for His Majesty. As long as youre diligent, youll have everythinggrain, houses, money, and women!

With that, he whistled a cheerful tune and left, leaving behind a group of dazed disciples of the Beggar Sect.

Elder, something seems to be wrong!

A disciple of the Beggar Sect whispered, All crows under the sky are black; how could the imperial court be so benevolent? I feel that its all just hot air, not to be trusted!

I also sense that something is not quite right. Lets continue to inquire! Elder Lai nodded.

Brother, I thought you were dead. I didnt expect you to still be alive!

Its so great to see you!

The generals soldiers glanced at the group of dirty Beggar Sect disciples, then looked back at the imposing general, their expressions quite strange.

The general was in such an awkward position that he cant even describe it.

He had finally risen to prominence, about to leave his past behind, but then a group of poor relatives showed up, exposing his dark history, and to make matters worse, his colleagues witnessed everythging

The embarrassment was enough to dig out three concrete houses!

The general continued to feign ignorance, bellowing, What nonsense are you spouting? Who is your Er Danzi? Stop making false claims of kinship! I advise you to step aside at once, or I shall not be polite!

The disciples of the Beggar Sect became agitated.

Er Danzi, youre still pretending? Have you climbed up the ladder and now you dont recognize your brothers?

Let me tell you, even if you turned to ashes, I would still recognize you!

I remember he has a red birthmark on his left thigh. If we take a look, well know if its him or not!

With that, they started to act.

The general tried to struggle, No! Dont pull down my pants! You beasts, stop this madness

The soldiers beside the general hesitated.

Theyre pulling down General Lius pants, should we intervene?

It seems like they know each other, maybe we shouldnt get involved?

But the general seems to be clearly struggling and resisting. It doesnt seem right for us not to help, does it?

Youre right, lets save the general first!

Just as they were about to take action, Elder Lai stepped in front of them, speaking with a pleasant and friendly tone, Young fellows, dont worry, we are all his friends, just having a bit of fun with him!

At this moment, the general finally gave up his struggle and shouted, Alright, alright, stop trying to pull down my pants! I admit it, I am Er Danzi, okay? Now let me down, we can talk about anything back home!
