He also didn't want Xue'er to follow him in the future and get involved in the power struggle.

Han Yingxue's eyes lit up.

"Zhao Qishan, oh, no, Xuanyuan Ling, since this is the case, do you have a lot of money that you can't spend?" Han Yingxue looked at Xuanyuan Ling eagerly.

This guy's identity is so awesome. After this identity is revealed, it's okay.

Thinking about that county magistrate, she was really weak. If she had known Xuanyuan Ling's true identity, she would not have gone back to the prison, which made her suffer for nothing in the prison for a few days, making her body stink.

"Cough cough..." Xuanyuan Ling coughed lightly, why didn't Xue'er play cards according to common sense.

"Answer me? Are you rich?"

"I..." Xuanyuan Ling smiled awkwardly, and said, "Actually, I don't have much money, and I receive five hundred taels of silver from the court every year..."

"Five hundred taels a year?"

"Well, yes! I don't want to be greedy or rob, and I will never accept things sent by others. What else can I have if I don't have the money from the court?"

"..."

Han Yingxue originally thought that the officials were very rich. Think about it, which one of those rich people didn't come here by squeezing the common people and being greedy for money.

Xuanyuan Ling was not a corrupt official, and Han Yingxue could feel his uprightness, so he only received Fengyin a year, and that was all he had.

Han Yingxue patted Xuanyuan Ling's shoulder and sighed.

"Xue'er, what's wrong?" Xuanyuan Ling asked a little puzzled.

"You have earned too little this year. How can you support me in the future? Let me do the math for you. If I become the general's wife, at least I will have a few sets of clothes of some quality? I bought these sets of clothes and returned them to me." How many taels of silver can I have left, besides, when the time comes, other officials’ wives will make an appointment with me, so I should at least send some gifts over there? How can the five hundred taels be enough?”

As Han Yingxue spoke, he sighed again.

Five hundred taels sounds like a lot, but as the status increases, the level of consumption will naturally increase accordingly.

Five hundred taels is not enough for a high-ranking official in Kyoto to make friends with each other.

"Xue'er, how about I go greedy too, I can greedy a lot of money..." Xuanyuan Ling said.

Han Yingxue waved her 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 day and age, productivity is already low, and it is hard to even eat enough. If you squeeze the common people again, you will kill many people.

"Hmm..." Xuanyuan Ling nodded, and it was true that he had never thought about corruption in the past. Otherwise, with his power means, he could be greedy a lot.

"Then why don't I ask my subordinates to hand over all the Fengyin to me? This Shangguanrui also has three hundred taels of Fengyin a year..."

Han Yingxue reprimanded Xuanyuan Ling and said, "How can that be done? They also want to marry wives and have children, and save money for their wives. How can you take their Fengyin like this! Besides, they follow you through life and death, and you oppress them. It's too unkind." Well, with a master like you, who else would dare to follow me in the future..."

"That's right...then what should I do, Xue'er, I only have five hundred fengyin a year, which is not enough for you."

"You have guarded the frontier fortress for so many years, and you have made great achievements. Didn't the emperor reward you with anything?"

When mentioning the emperor, Xuanyuan Ling's face changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and said: "How could he give me something..."

He wished that he died in the frontier would be the best!
