Upon seeing the official document issued by the Lord of Anping Prefecture, the destruction of the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association left those lesser powers feeling a chill in their hearts and a palpable fear of the strength of the government office.
However, the desire for profit overcame fear, as the void left by the annihilation of these two major powers filled some people, who were usually oppressed by them, with joy.
Driven by profit and ambition, they quickly put these fears behind them, focusing entirely on the scramble for benefits.
Half a month later, Pei Xuanjing also received the account books from his investigation of the two powers and his share of the profits therein.
The total seizures from the Liu family and Shen’s Business Association were divided into five parts:
Pei Xuanjing received twenty-five percent, Gu Ji fifteen percent, the Six Gates and the Thousands of Households each got fifteen percent, and the remaining thirty percent divided into the treasury of Prefecture, to be handed over to the national treasury of the imperial court later.
He was even able to receive twenty-five percent due to Gu Ji sharing half of his profits with him.
Pei Xuanjing had no objections to this division.
He had neither the strength to swallow everything alone nor would he do so to such an extreme. After all, sometimes an equal distribution of benefits is the most appropriate allocation plan.
According to his request, Gu Ji helped him exchange most of the profits for cultivation resources, some spiritual materials, and elixirs.
