"Chapter 49: Grading and Rerewarding"
Creation is always thrilling and annoying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When fate favors us, we tend to get carried away. Listening to that kind of thing, it seems that the mind can clear up a little. I think people who are lucky or unlucky will like it, because they can make the lucky people feel ready for danger in times of peace and comfort the unlucky people.
- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)
The reward is not only the acquisition of gold and silver property, but also a kind of recognition of Bai Feng and their own honor; everyone is the same legion commander, and they are all loyal to the city of Rome, and the level of reward naturally represents whose merit is higher.
When all the generals looked at Bai Feng with their expectant eyes, Bai Feng just smiled slightly, and picked up a piece of paper that he had placed on the table, which was written on the battle of the various legions of Rome in the Battle of Longbow and the Battle of Cádiz.
"In the last three months of fighting, the 1st Corps of Generals Licinius and Peris, and the Cheetah Corps of Generals Gattus and Leonidas, are two of our most decorated regiments, and they are the two regiments we want to focus on.
The pension of the families of all the fallen soldiers of these two legions will be doubled, and the reward given to all the officers of the two legions shall also be given to the families of those who have fallen in battle, and shall be handed over to their families by the Doge's Office himself.
Alright, now let me announce the rewards for the soldiers of these two legions: all the soldiers of the First Legion and the Cheetah Legion will each receive a reward of ten gold coins, and the officers such as the centurion captain will be doubled in rank, and the commander of the regiment will be rewarded with five hundred gold coins each!"
The unprecedentedly high reward made the generals in the council chamber unable to believe their ears, especially Upton, who had just joined the city of Rome, he did not expect Bai Feng's reward to be so generous.
The war between the Celestial Dragon Empire and the barbarians did not affect their private trade exchanges, and every year the barbarian forces in the eastern region could obtain various daily necessities from the Celestial Dragon Empire, and the Celestial Dragon Empire could also obtain rare treasures from the barbarian tribes.
The overt and covert trade between the two sides made the barbarian tribes who originally had little concept of gold and silver coins understand the value of gold and silver coins, otherwise Bai Feng would not have let Licinius and Gatus take the gold coins to buy other tribes in the initial expansion stage of the Roman city.
Barbarian tribes who do not know how to mine minerals can obtain gold and silver coins by spending many treasures in exchange for the merchants of the Celestial Dragon Empire, or occasionally find an open-pit gold or silver mine to mine some small quantities of gold and silver raw ore.
The difficult way to obtain gold and silver coins, and the deliberate misdirection of the merchants of the Tianlong Empire, made the concept of gold and silver of the barbarian tribe always in a relatively primitive state; in the consciousness of the barbarians, gold and silver coins are very cherished good things, but also extremely rare treasures.
The glittering gold coins and the glittering silver coins were naturally good things, but they were definitely not as precious as the barbarians imagined, but their excessive attention was not a bad thing for Bai Feng, at least it could prove that Bai Feng's reward was recognized by everyone.
"Swear allegiance to the Governor! Swear allegiance to the city of Rome!" Compared to the generals of the system, who almost regarded money as dung, Gatus showed enough excitement about Bai Feng's heavy reward, and his face was flushed, and he stood up on the spot and swore allegiance to Bai Feng with his head held high.
Bai Feng, who had long been accustomed to the loyalty of the generals, just waved his hand with a smile on his face and motioned for Gatus to sit down; for Bai Feng, being able to exchange the dead things of gold and silver coins for the loyalty of the generals and the soldiers under their command was simply the most cost-effective deal.
Of course, if it weren't for the discovery of a gold mine and a silver mine in the deep cave mines of Rome City, which could produce 150,000 gold coins and 800,000 silver coins every month, even Bai Feng would not have been able to be so generous if he wanted to reward the meritorious soldiers so much.
Sure enough, it is the economic foundation that can determine the superstructure, and the city of Rome, with its strong financial strength, can embark on the road of rapid development and growth! The rewards for the First Legion and the Cheetah Legion are just the beginning, Bai Feng paused and continued to announce:
"The second most meritorious of the legions were the First Legion and the Cheetah Legion, General Bronno's Dragon's Legion and General Gamerios' Tassia Legion, and the soldiers of these two legions were equally doubled in their pensions and rewards.
In recognition of the outstanding performance of the Dragon Legion and the Tasia Legion in battle, the soldiers of all these two legions can be rewarded with five gold coins each, and the officers such as the centurion captain are also doubled in rank, and the captain of the legion will be rewarded with three hundred gold coins each!"
Bronno was a calm and wise general, and Gamilios was a seasoned veteran, and neither of them had the same excitement and excitement on their faces as Gatus after hearing about the reward from him and his legions, but their slightly trembling arms betrayed them.
Before Brono and Gamelios could get up from their seats, Bai Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to press it, signaling that they didn't need to stand up;
"The last of us left are General Bazel's Tiger Legion, and General Eggers's Eagle Legion, who did not have time to attend the meeting tonight;
I believe that the combat effectiveness of their two legions will not be inferior to any of the previous four legions, as long as I give them a chance to fight next time, the Tiger Legion and the Eagle Legion will definitely be able to exert their strong combat effectiveness!
Even in these two battles, when there were few opportunities, the Tigers and the Eagles performed many feats, so that the pensions of the soldiers who died in the Tigers and the Eagles were doubled, and the rewards were also paid.
In recognition of the outstanding performance of the Tiger Legion and the Eagle Legion in battle, the soldiers of all these two legions can each receive a reward of three gold coins, and the centurion captain and other officers will also be doubled in rank, and the commander of the regiment will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins each!"
Bai Feng's reward to the Tiger Legion and the Eagle Legion did not cause Bazel's expression to change, this is the fierce general Bazel; he didn't care what Bai Feng's reward was, what he cared about was that his legion did not win the highest honor.
But the reality is that Bazel is very helpless, his Tiger Legion has not been sent to a vital position by Bai Feng in the previous battle, so naturally he cannot obtain convincing combat exploits;
This reward did not bring any joy to Bazel, but only aroused Bazel's competitive spirit, and Bazel, who was sitting in his seat with a blank face, secretly determined that next time he must make his Tiger Legion the best legion!
Frankly speaking, the reason why Bai Feng announced the rewards for each legion in the council hall was because he really wanted to reward the various legions for their military exploits, and on the other hand, it was to arouse the competition and sense of honor of each legion; there is no doubt that Bai Feng succeeded.
