However, with Wu Ying's ability and talent, it would not be a problem for him to groom half of the Empire of Yutang if he were to start a class and take in disciples. The pamphlets that were in front of him were more than enough to prove it.
"How many people do you need, specifically?" Leng Daoyin asked.
Wu Ying calculated in his mind and said, "There can be twenty people for me to choose from, but no more than ten can stay. In the end, however, I can only choose one person each for my legacy, one for civil and one for martial. "
"That's a little too few," Tie Zheng said.
Wu Ying rolled his eyes. "Hmph."
Everyone understood what he meant. This was teaching from the very beginning. Who knew how much effort it would take? Ten people was already a little too many, how could it be considered too few?
However, Wu Ying continued, "Other than the two I've chosen in the end, even the other eight who have been eliminated from my side shouldn't be a problem for them to guard one side, conservatively speaking."
The quintet's eyes shone.
"What are the specific requirements?" Old Mistress Shangguan was more meticulous in her thinking.
"The two I value the most need to have a family background." Wu Ying said, "Otherwise, it'll take too long for them to climb up from the bottom."
No one had any objections to this.
It was a reasonable request to have a high starting point.
"As for the other eight, I have no other requirements other than their character."
Wu Ying said.
"That makes things easier."
Qiu Jianhan was the first to voice his opinion. "The few of us will help you be the head examiners. You don't have to worry about fairness. "
The others nodded in agreement.
"Then, I'll have to trouble all of you to help me." Wu Ying bowed faintly and said, "I know that all of you elders are busy with official duties and even more personal matters. I dare not stay for long. Please leave now."
Once he said that, the quintet looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
F * ck, you invited us here one by one just to give us a mission?
You've sent us an invitation, brother. Forget about wine and meat, we can't even get a glass of water when we come here and you're chasing us away!
How could there be such a thing in this world?
Even if you have talent, great talent, and are amazing … Yes, you are amazing!
Fang Qingtian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Wu Ying, aren't you going to take care of a meal?"
Wu Ying lifted his head to look at the old Grand Commandant coldly and said flatly, "Your humble servant has always been poor. Now, I don't even have a penny on me. All these years, we've been living off the government and wearing the government's clothes. We've taken too many advantages. How can we be greedy?! "
The implication was: You want me to treat you to a meal? That's forcing me to be greedy, forcing me to fall. What do you mean?!
The five of them were once again dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
I'm convinced!
Qiu Jianhan said angrily, "This rascal, he really lives up to his name of Wu!"
The moment he said that, everyone was instantly reminded of the Iron Face Just Good Samaritan. They could not help glancing suspiciously at Wu Ying's face, thinking to themselves, 'F * ck, don't tell me these two are twins?
They were the two oddities of Yutang's officialdom.
"You and Wu Lie …" Leng Daoyin finally asked, "are brothers?"
Wu Ying watched Leng Daoyin's face quietly for a while before he suddenly asked, "Are all those with the surname Leng in this world your brothers?"
Leng Daoyin was exasperated.
All of them are my brothers? What kind of nonsense was that? Leng was not a big star, but there were millions of people in this world.
Who could give birth to so many people?
This bastard could really choke people to death with his words.
"Hahaha …" Qiu Jianhan was overjoyed.
Wu Ying kept a straight face, his expression unfriendly. "You may leave. I have something to attend to."
The five of them were instantly enraged.
Even His Majesty … could not speak to the five of them like this!
It was the first time in their lives that they were asked to leave like this.
The five of them stood up angrily and left, cursing and swearing.
Fang Qingtian walked to the door and suddenly turned to ask, "That's not right. Your food and clothing are provided by the country. Where is your salary for so many years?"
Old Grand Commandant Fang's question came out of the blue, but there was a deeper meaning behind it. Yutang rewarded its soldiers handsomely with rations and salaries. Wu Ying's position was extremely high and he was not burdened by his family. His family should be rich, so why did he not have a single penny?
Wu Ying replied, "It's always been kept in the Board of War's account … This lowly official has never used money, so there's no need to withdraw it. I even have to spend it, it's troublesome. "
Old Grand Commandant Fang's mouth was agape, looking at this ghost-like fellow like he was looking at a deity. After a long, long time, he closed his mouth with a click and left without a word.
There was only one word in his mind – amazing!
There was actually someone in this world who did not take a salary just because he was afraid that it would be too troublesome to spend money.
The five bosses, who refused to believe it, went to the financial department of the military supplies department and retrieved Wu Ying's salary records. They found out that Wu Ying's salary was indeed not a small sum. He had already accumulated more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. However, there was no record of him claiming it at all. He was truly a rich man.
Qiu Jianhan shook his head and sighed. "I thought he was a god who could rule the world, but he's actually a ghost who has gone into seclusion … He probably won't be able to spend our human money in this lifetime … This old man should quickly go work for him."
"I'll go as well. It's more important to go work quickly." The group turned and walked away, filled with admiration.
"Cough, I say … I guess Sir Wu won't want the money he's saved in the future …" Tie Zheng's eyes glowed. "Why don't you give it all to me?"
"Take it!"
Old Grand Commandant decided right away.
Of course, Tie Zheng was not going to spend it for himself. Wu Ying would not use the money anyway, so he might as well let Tie Zheng take it.
The families of the martyrs could at least have a few more mouthfuls of food to eat. It was better than leaving them here to collect dust.
If it were not for today's meeting, even if Tie Zheng and the other bosses knew that Wu Ying had such a sum of silver taels under his name and knew that he would not use it, they would not have done so either. Now, however, the situation was completely different!
Wu Ying was even willing to give away such a precious book that contained his lifetime's worth of knowledge; what was a little bit of silver worth?
How could a genius with such a noble character, unquestionable integrity, and magnanimity care about money? Therefore, he directly took it away and used it on someone who needed it more. It was the best!
Tie Zheng's embezzlement of the money was justified.
…
Yun Yang soon found out about Wu Ying's actions.
Facing Shui Wuyin's questioning gaze, Yun Yang was silent for a long time.
"Boss, how should we handle this?"
"Let him be." Yun Yang sighed.
Shui Wuyin was rather reluctant. "But … he's one of the culprits. We can't just let him be, can we?"
Although Shui Wuyin did not say it out loud, he was more or less indignant that Yun Yang had spared Wu Ying the last time. The only difference between his mentality and Yun Yang's was that Yun Yang would sometimes choose to prioritize the bigger picture under certain conditions.
Shui Wuyin, on the other hand, was much more straightforward. If one had done a bad thing, one would be a bad person for life!
One should be killed!
It had to be said that such thinking was rather extreme.
"Let him be." Yun Yang said, "You have to assist him in finding his disciples. You must investigate the background of these disciples and ensure that they are pure!"
Shui Wuyin heaved a deep sigh.
He did not speak for a long time.
Yun Yang frowned. "Is there a problem?"
"I only have one request." Shui Wuyin said boldly, "When Wu Ying dies in the future, no matter how he dies, I want to see his corpse!"
