At this time, Wang Lifa suddenly said, "I remember something after hearing what Lao Li said. Yesterday when I went to the main camp to report this month's military pay, the main camp's accounting room told me something unhappily."

Li Wenqi asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Lifa said: "The account room said that our whistle Lord Wu is very capable, and he asked the general to use the military pay of the fire battalion. If it might be done, our fire battalion would have no money. At that time, I didn't understand and thought the account room was saying that we Lord Wu had the ability to hold Li Mingshan with a gun. Now I'm a little aware of it."

Li Wenqi nodded suddenly and quickly said to Wu Shaoting: "Mr. Wu, it seems that the general is protecting you."

Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment, but in fact he was not surprised by the news. This was already seen from the bad incident in which Fu Qi did not pursue the following crimes. Now hearing what Wang Lifa said that Fu Qi used military pay to threaten Huang Shilong and prevented Huang Shilong from making things difficult for him, it only proved this point.

He had already had an idea that Fuqi, a Manchu nobleman, still had value in his use of himself.

Although it is a bit unrighteous to think so, as an iron-blooded soldier, in his own concept, he can only achieve his goals and have no grudges, love and hatred.

"Since there is a general who comes to uphold justice, you don't have to worry about it." Wu Shaoting said slowly.

"Oh," Li Wenqi sighed and said, "Mr. Wu, it is because it is the General who supports you that you should be more at ease. Didn't you say that you were humble before? General and Governor Zhang Renjun of Guangdong and Guangxi, and our back post is affiliated with the fire battalion. To be more important, it is General who is openly provoking Governor Zhang.

"What Lao Li said makes sense." Wang Lifa nodded slowly and agreed.

"I guess, Mr. Li Qian is not asking you for trouble, but he has not found an opportunity now. If he sees the opportunity, he will be revenge with capital and interest." Li Wenqi said again.

Wu Shaoting took a deep breath. Of course, he understood that Li Wenqi was not exaggerating, and he really had to be more careful. In particular, he also promised to help the revolutionary party transport guns into the city. If this matter was discovered by Li Mingshan, there would definitely be no good ending.

"I understand, I will pay more attention. Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore, it's time to talk about serious things," he said.

The four team officials all looked serious and recovered from the atmosphere just now.

Wu Shaoting said: "Tomorrow, according to the duty schedule, our back post is going to Taiping Gate to be on duty. What work did you do when you guard the city gate in the past?"

Chen Qun laughed and said, "Be careful of the city gate... Then the job is naturally to keep the gate well."

Li Wenqi coughed again, glared at Chen Qun with annoyance, and said, "You can't speak anymore, right!"

Chen Qun said impatiently: "I'm telling the truth. To guard the city gate is to guard the city gate."

Li Wenqi ignored Chen Qun and turned to Wu Shaoting with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu, this is your first time performing official duties, and of course you don't know some of these knowledge."

Wu Shaoting laughed and said, "This is naturally. I'll call you here today to teach me. As the saying goes, there must be my teacher in the three-person walk. I just graduated from military academy and returned from China. If I don't understand, I will naturally ask for advice humbly. Tell me, what are the knowledge in it?"

Li Wenqi smiled and said, "Sir, you don't know that guarding the city gate is actually the most economical business. Especially Taiping Gate, the oil and water are only slightly inferior to Dadong Gate and Guide Gate. Taiping Gate is the only gate for entering the city in the rural areas in the west. There are some honest people coming and going, so it's better to collect money."

Wu Shaoting smiled coldly and said, "This is the first time I have heard that there are still people who can find oil and water from farmers these days. Why, are farmers in Guangzhou richer than other places?"

Li Wenqi quickly shook his hand and said, "The honest people in Beizhi don't just represent those poor people. In fact, guarding the city gate is very particular. It is not enough to make money, because they have no money, and they are not too rich, because there is something behind the wealthy families now, and we soldiers cannot afford to offend them."

Wu Shaoting became amused and said, "I heard you say that, this is really a matter of attention."

Li Wenqi said, "That's natural. To be honest, the oil and water on the Dadongmen may not be easier to make than the Taipingmen. There are rich and powerful families who come in and out of the other side. They drive rickshaw cars when they go out, and no one dares to do it easily. Although our Taipingmen is much poorer, at least they won't offend people."

Wu Shaoting nodded slowly, and after a moment of silence, he said seriously: "What would you do if I said that you were not allowed to collect this kind of oil and water from now on?"

The four team officials were all stunned, but soon recovered. They had long expected that a righteous leader like Wu Shaoting would not do such a thing. But now that Wu Shaoting has really rejected him, they were still a little unwilling to accept it.

Although Li Wenqi is the oldest and full of greed, he is a sensual intestine. Although he feels a little awkward at this time, he just calms down and says nothing more.

But Wang Yun was straightforward and couldn't help complaining, saying, "Mr. Wu, it's not just our backstops who are doing this. This is the routine of all troops. Even when the new army guards the customs, they will still detain some opium and soft goods as subsidies. We have this opportunity every three months, and we are not squeezing the poor. If we don't even lose this subsidy, I'm afraid the backstops will not taste meat during the holidays."

Wang Lifa and Chen Qun both imitated Li Wenqi and said nothing, but their expressions obviously agreed with Wang Yun's speech.

Wu Shaoting thought silently for a while, and he felt that he needed to do something more absolutely. Although what Wang Yun said was a bit reasonable, the target they chose was very particular and would not directly hurt the poor people. In addition, the back was the old army, so that the old army could oppress the people, from a certain perspective, to inspire the dissatisfaction of the people's government, which could actually promote the resentment of the people towards the Qing Dynasty.

But he had his own idea, and he had to make his military camp in the western suburbs unconventional.

He wanted to make everyone in the Xijiao Grand Campus and the Army Office have an impression in their hearts that they are an upright and good military officer. The purpose of doing this is to form a reputation and prestige in the military camp. Although they may be regarded as a pretentious fool at the beginning, once they have been in the long run, they will truly understand it.

When the Great Revolution broke out, the revolutionary uprising army would fall into a confusion after overthrowing the Qing government, and the role of reputation and prestige would be fully utilized.

Being a human being requires a little foresight, especially a time traveler like Wu Shaoting who is familiar with history!

"I understand you will complain about me in this matter," Wu Shaoting's expression was very calm, so calm that it made people feel more like coldness. "But from now on, I will not allow you to make a clever name to plunder the common people."

"But..." Wang Yun wanted to insist on saying something.

"No," Wu Shaoting interrupted Wang Yun's words in a deep voice, saying, "But I will subsidize you in addition. From now on, the monthly military pay will be redistributed. The soldiers will still pay one more cent every month as they did during training, and each of them will pay two more cents every month. The remaining vacancy will be eliminated from the daily outpost expenses, and the rest will be used as subsidies for not plundering the people. What do you think?"

The four team officials looked at each other. Isn’t Mr. Wu joking? Although the monthly vacancy is limited, and ordinary soldiers have been added, the team officials’ salary is probably not much. However, this income is not as good as guarding the city gate and plundering the people. It has been the turn of guarding the city gate once in a few months, and this income is not fixed. If you are lucky, you will be full. If you are not lucky, you will be afraid that you will not even have enough money for a meal of tea.

As for what Lord Wu said, the subsidies are available every month, and the operation is good and very fixed. It is much better than plundering when guarding the city gate.

Li Wenqi asked with a smile: "Mr. Wu, are you kidding?"

Wang Lifa also asked quickly: "Mr. Wu, do you really want a single cent vacancy?"

Wu Shaoting laughed and said, "I told you three months ago when I first came. I won't take a copper cow for the mail. What I said before is absolutely true, so you should take care of yourself."

Li Wenqi smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, since you said so, we will definitely turn back to justice in the future and will never do anything that is harmful to the world and against the conscience. If you find that we still dare to plunder the people's money, it will be fine if you deduct all our money."

Chen Qun echoed: "If you can't help but lose all your salary, you can shoot us."

Li Wenqi gave Chen Qun a blank look. This kid said something too amazing.

Wu Shaoting nodded and said with a decision: "Okay, you said it yourself. From now on, you are not allowed to do anything for personal gain. As for subsidies, I did what I said."

"Mr. Wu is indeed honest and honest."

"All our brothers from the back will follow Lord Wu to be good soldiers who stand tall in the future."

"Yes, yes, we will support Lord Wu's decision in the future."

"Since the elimination of Duke Mu of Lin, Lord Wu is the largest honest official in Guangzhou."
