“Seventy-five days, three thousand Huben Sabers” Xiao Zongshui put the saber in his hand into a box, closed the lid, and patted it He slowly said, “Zhou Shu, I didn’t see wrongly You did better than I iined”
“Where, where?” Zhou Shu humbly said, “Superintendent, it’s all because of your leadershi+p that ere able to complete the mission so quickly”
“All of you have done well this tishui said noncommittally “I will keep my word For each of these three thousand Huben Sabers, I will reward one tael of silver This will be three thousand taels of silver Zhou Shu, go collect it later and split it with everyone”
A restrained cheer arose from the crowd
!!
Three thousand taels of silver was a huge su Apprentices here ranged from half a tael to one tael of silver a month Even if they earned one tael every month, it would take 250 years to earn 3,000 taels
Although everyone had previously said that they would give the bounty to Zhou Shu, hearing about such an enormous sum of money still made them excited
Zhou Shu’s expression was cal to the hly equivalent to 4,000 yuan in his previous life In other words, his monthly salary of half a tael of silver was 2,000 yuan…
Three thousand taels of silver was equivalent to twelve million yuan!
In his two lifetiest amount of money he had seen was probably the hundred taels that Xiao Zongshui had given hie sum of three thousand taels, should I split it with everyone? Or should I be a little black-hearted and leave it all for ive their bounty to shui waved his hand and said ‘benevolently’, “Everyone has worked hard during this period I will ive you all a day off!”
“Superintendent, you are wise!” Everyone cheered again
The Forging Apprentices of the Forging Division were not slaves In a sense, they should be considered the working class
It was just that their work intensity was a little too high, and many people died as a result of exhaustion…
According to the rules of the Forging Division, Forging Apprentices could rest for a day every month But very few of them actually did so
Because the work intensity was so high, if they didn’t work overtime all year round, they wouldn’t be able to complete their tasks
If one couldn’t co Masters wouldn’t bother with huhts and labor laws…
There was no need to worry about thefor everyone
Zhou Shu didn’t feelDivision is even more ruthless than those capitalists in my previous life The capitalists at ime, yet this place has barely any rest for an entire year Forging Apprentices are used to being exploited, so they’re grateful for just soshui left in satisfaction Zhou Shu looked at the excited crowd and co, coet the money,” Zhou Shu said “Then we’ll split theYibei shook his head “We agreed that ould give our bounty to you Consider it our tuition fee”
The rest of the apprentices, including Sixth Brother Wu, opened their mouths but didn’t object
This tie, each person would get 40 to 50 taels, which was equivalent to five to six years of their salary
But the breathing ht the reatly i from now, their salaries would increase This was the benefit of taking things slow

They had definitely profited!
“As I said, I didn’t teach you the breathing method for money” Zhou Shu shook his head In the end, his conscience triumphed
These were all poor people Even if he took their money, he wouldn’t be able to spend it happily
“Brother Zhou, we are all crude people There’s nothing else we can repay you with,” Zhang Yibei said seriously “This is a token of our appreciation If you don’t accept it, on’t be able to sleep well at night”
“That’s right Brother Zhou, please accept it” Sixth Brother Wu gritted his teeth and said, “Although all of us have fah for us We won’t starve to death You’re still young With e in the future”
“Brother Zhou, in the words of a storyteller, I think that you are not an ordinary person,” Zhang Yibei continued “Your forging skills are superb, and youMaster in the future Although Forging Masters are esteemed, they usually spend a lot of s, so if you have the chance to save up, you should
