After Ye Lanfeng and Jin Yuguang left, Mu Cheng returned to the hall and voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind all along.
"Brother Han Yan, why are you so generous? Aside from their regular pay, you even gave them an extra twenty percent bonus. I just inquired, and the Yuan Family used to pay them a monthly salary of ten thousand taels of silver." After taking a sip of tea served by the maid, Mu Cheng asked Mu Hanyan in wonder.
For ordinary guards, a monthly salary of ten thousand taels was already exorbitant. Yet these swordsmen were not weak, and even the Yuan Family, known for its ruthlessness, dared not pay them too little.
But it was precisely for this reason that the Yuan Family's mine struggled, nearly to the point of being unsustainable.
