Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rewards
"Well, I'll admit that I didn't just go to the East China Sea to train my troops! The Salt Gang robbed the goods of the General Merchant House and smashed their properties in Wuxing County, you have heard of all this! But Lord Xu is laissez-faire towards this salt gang, General Wu, you come to criticize reason, as the Taishou of Wuxing County, is it right for him to do this! Xiao Yao poured dirty water on Xu Jingcheng at the beginning.
"And before that, the General Merchant Bank also deliberately gave the paper armor to his Eastern Route Army first, and the Western Route Army didn't give it, so Wen Yuan complained in front of me for a while, saying that he can't favor one over the other, he is also my subordinate, and his father is the governor of the Western Route Armyγγγγγγ"
"Don't go too far!" Wu Mingche glared at Xiao Yao.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Because I still feel very dissatisfied with what Lord Xu did at that time! I just said that Lord Xu is not going to deal with this salt gang, but you know my relationship with the General Merchant Bank, of course I have to stand up for them! So I asked people to secretly investigate this salt gang, and if I didn't check it, I didn't know it, and I was shocked when I checked it! Guess what I found? Xiao Yao controlled the rhythm as if he were telling a story.
Syllable! Xiao Yao suddenly slapped his palm, startling Wu Mingche, and then continued: "I actually found out that they were smuggling and selling salt!" This is a capital offense! Then I'll use this to blackmail Lord Xu! β
"Can you blackmail Xu Jingcheng? How do you blackmail him? Wu Mingche hurriedly asked.
"I'll just say that if Lord Xu doesn't help me to exterminate the Salt Gang, I will hand over the evidence to the emperor, saying that you, as a Taishou, actually connived at these guys who violate the law and discipline in your jurisdiction, and you must have colluded with them!" Xiao Yao said it righteously.
"That's it? Xu Jingcheng agreed? Wu Mingche still didn't believe it.
"Yes, he said yes! Of course, I also deliberately asked people to go to Haiyan County to spread the news that Lord Xu was going to personally lead troops to exterminate the Salt Gang, hehe. Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly.
"As a result, the Salt Gang really couldn't help but strike first, gathered people to besiege the county government and occupy the county seat, so I directly ordered the siege of the city, and rescued the county order who was captured by the Salt Gang! Later, Lord Xu arrived with troops, and we wiped out the Salt Gang together! Xiao Yao lied without blinking his eyes.
"Then, how could the steward of the Silver Sea Merchant House be there?" Wu Mingche asked about the point.
"I don't know about this, maybe when I investigated the Salt Gang, they also found out, so I sent someone over to check, but they ran into trouble with the Salt Gang, they were really unlucky!" Xiao Yao said regretfully.
"You really don't know that they sent 800 people to Haiyan County?" Wu Mingche stared at Xiao Yao and asked, expressing his disbelief in what he said.
"Of course I don't know, they also sent 800 people to Haiyan County? With so many guards, they were all killed by the Salt Gang? It can be seen that the people of this salt gang are so vicious and cruel, which proves that I am right to exterminate them, to eliminate harm for the people, to do the right thing for heaven, yes... Xiao Yao pulled up his skin, invincible in the world.
"Alright, okay, stop! I don't know about you yet, it's definitely not that simple! Alas, but this matter has passed, and the emperor also said that he would reward your infantry battalion for meritorious deeds! You're lucky this time, if something goes wrong, you'll get in trouble! Wu Mingche said fiercely.
"General Wu, don't worry, who am I, people give the nickname Xiao Shilang!" Xiao Yao knew that Wu Mingche had given up asking, so he deliberately said cheekily.
"Okay, okay, don't be sassy!" Wu Mingche said impatiently.
Then he let out a long sigh and persuaded earnestly, "Alas, Shiro! You're a talent, even a genius! I appreciate you! I really hope that you will serve the country loyally and kill the enemy bravely! Instead of seeing you involved in those insidious and cunning court feuds! Do you understand what I'm talking about? β
"Thank you General Wu for the reminder! Shiro will be cautious in the future! But I promised the general that Shiro would do his best to assist the general in the Northern Expedition and recover the Central Plains! Xiao Yao also said with a straight face.
"Alas, Shiro, you're still young, and you still have a long way to go, so let's do it for yourself!" Wu Mingche said helplessly, and drove Xiao Yao out.
Xiao Yao returned to the infantry battalion and immediately called all the soldiers to assemble on the school grounds.
"In this East China Sea exercise, everyone performed very well, and they also assisted Xu Taishou of Wuxing County to quell a rebellion, and our infantry battalion made a great contribution! Merit is rewarded, this is the rule of the infantry battalion! I don't know the emperor's reward yet, but my reward is already there, do you want it? Xiao Yao asked loudly.
"Yes!" A neat and powerful answer.
"This is a special ticket made by the General Comptoir, with this ticket, you can go to any store under the General Comptoir to exchange the designated things! For example, you can go to their restaurant and eat a designated meal, or go to their cloth shop to change a designated piece of cloth, or even go to their brothel and play with a designated girl! I'm not happy! β
"Happy!" There was a boil below!
"Commander, can I sell this ticket to someone else?" Someone asked right away.
"Yes! However, this ticket is limited, that is, it must be used within this month, otherwise it will be invalid in the next month, and it will be useless for you to cry at that time! Xiao Yao said with a smile.
This kind of coupon, of course, was conceived by Xiao Yao, by allowing customers to buy a certain amount of coupons, to stimulate customer consumption, to achieve the purpose of increasing sales and popularity!
Now that the infantry battalion has just come back from the exercise, Xiao Yao specially asked for a batch of coupons to reward the soldiers, through this training, they have absolute trust in Xiao Yao's ability, if they are given material stimulation, then they will definitely be more loyal to Xiao Yao!
"Later, each platoon commander will issue tickets to everyone, one for each person, and as long as everyone behaves well in the future, there will be different rewards for you one after another! Is it good to be a soldier in an infantry battalion? β
"Good!"
"Who do you want to thank!"
"Thank you, Commander Xiao!"
Xiao Yao has completely turned these thousand soldiers into loyal subordinates, they have all forgotten their previous experience in the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army, and even Zhang Dabao has long forgotten who he is now in addition to his personal soldiers, and the other 500 soldiers he brought.

After rewarding the infantry battalion, Xiao Yao went to Zu Yuan again, Zu Yuan actually let Song Keer live in his luxurious office in the general sugar factory, and also accompanied by five or six maids to wait for him, which suddenly made Xiao Yao feel like a golden house and a luxury villa to raise a junior.
After hugging the beauty and falling in love all afternoon, Xiao Yao finally returned to the Xiao family, who had been away for more than a month, and was frightened as soon as he entered the door, only to see that the yard was already full of more than a dozen large boxes.
"Father-in-law, what is this for? Are we moving? Xiao Yao asked.
"It's not that we want to move, I'm afraid that your Colonel Xiao thinks our Xiao family is small, and he can't let go of the gifts sent by others, so he is going to move!" Xiao Shilian said in a strange voice.
"Look what good you've done! These are all gifts from the dignitaries of Jinling City! Now you're the No. 1 person in Jinling again! Xiao Moke said with a pale face.
