The corpses of the enemy are a celebration of victory, and the next program after the sacrifice is a reward for the three armies. Of course www.biquge.info, the venue can't be located here where the corpses are covered with blood, but it is placed in the garden of the Pu family, and the choice here is also particular. No matter how bad the Pu family is, it can be regarded as a banner of maritime trade, and the mansion of the Pu family is the landmark building of Quanzhou, and the Pu family is broken, and the slaughter of the whole family can be regarded as Quanzhou is completely recovered, and the celebration banquet is set here has a special significance.

Pufu is already the most mysterious place in the eyes of the military and civilians in Quanzhou, after all, it is unattainable for many ordinary people, so there are countless legends about it, and Pufu Houyuan can be rated as the first of the 'Top Ten Rumors'. Such an evaluation is not only because there are rare flowers and plants from all over the world, and strange birds and beasts are raised, but also because there are many foreign beauties among them, especially the chessboard garden with people as chess pieces, even Zhao Yu was curious before, not to mention ordinary generals.

Now that the Pu family, which is regarded as a forbidden place, has become the trophy of the Song army, and everything that should be cleaned up in it has also been cleaned up, so using this as a place to celebrate the achievement is not only conducive to improving morale, but also making the officers and soldiers who have seen the real face full of pride and more bragging points. said that Lao Tzu was summoned by the emperor in Pu Shougeng's house, visited the Pu family's garden, ate Pu family cuisine, and drank the wine toasted by those beauties, so I don't know how many people to envy, that is, when I am old, I show off with my children and grandchildren.

This effect is similar to Zhao Hao's previous life and the newly recruited hairy boys boasting that they had drunk flower wine in the Oriental Pearl and had dinner with the mayor with the boss, so as to elevate their status and establish their prestige. Of course, he won't use this as a reward like the black-hearted boss, but really want to come up with something as an incentive, after all, fighting with the instigation will be a vicious battle that has never been fought since the formation of the army.

Zhao Yu prepared a hundred gold bowls for this, five hundred silver bowls as a reward, of course, these bowls are not thin skin and big mouths, but from the Pu family treasury, they are all good things with gold and silver, it is estimated that Pu Shou Geng is used to show off his wealth or prepare for export, not only the materials are exquisite, the workmanship is fine, it can be called a handicraft. And the weight is not light, the gold bowl has ten taels, the silver bowl also has a catty, and the ten gold bowls awarded to those who have distinguished themselves in the war are also inlaid with precious stones, even if the workmanship is excluded, it is worth a lot of money when it is cast into gold ingots.

However, Zhao Yu has always understood that the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty used gold bowls and silver bowls as rewards, and this thing is reluctant to eat, and it is too ugly to hang around the neck. Why can't you be like a Tartar, use gold and silver to cast some dragon and tiger gold medals, silver medals and other medals on your body, which can not only show your military exploits, but also improve their status in the army, that is to be beneficial and face-saving. However, now he has no time to rectify, after all, this involves the official system of evaluating merit and awarding officials, and it is necessary to formulate corresponding policies, so he can only implement it as usual for the time being.

It is right and necessary to reward meritorious service, but this is a big battle, which cannot be accomplished by just a few people, so it requires the cooperation of many people and units. This will give rise to another problem, according to the Chinese tradition, it has become a big event, but only a few people benefit, then it will cause the jealousy of other people, thinking that their own efforts are in vain anyway, it is better to rest, so they will treat their work negatively, thus affecting the future course of the battle, so they can only use the method of equalizing interests, in order to be happy.

According to Zhao Yu's intentions, all the troops who participated in the Battle of Quanzhou were paid three times their salaries; Twice the salary for logistical support; The officers and soldiers who stayed in Qiongzhou were paid double their salaries. However, Wen Tianxiang and others thought that the reward was too much, and nearly 50,000 people were mobilized for this expedition, and according to the average monthly salary, it would cost 1.5 million guan, and the number of people left behind would also need 500,000 guan, plus the military funds spent on sending troops and the pensions of the casualties and officers and soldiers, the cost of the expedition would reach more than 3 million guan, although the capture was very large, but the cost was also huge. The reward of silver and gold should be reduced, but the official position should be sealed.

Zhao Yu pondered and pondered, in the past, it was good to say that he had few soldiers, but now he can easily count tens of thousands, and his family can't withstand such a toss, not to mention that his foundation is still thin, and it is not always necessary to have such a large capture in the future, and it is not good to recycle this precedent, otherwise it will also cause resentment. But the lack of reward is definitely not conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army, so the original bill will be lowered by one level, but the outstanding meritorious ones will still be rewarded as an incentive policy, and even then it will cost a lot.

However, this incident also reminded Zhao Yu that he also gained a lot in the first battle in Guangzhou, obtained a large amount of materials and money, and provided economic security for the formal establishment of power in Qiongzhou. However, on the one hand, it was necessary to solve the huge military expenditure and government expenditure, and on the other hand, in order to encourage the people's livelihood, the tax was greatly reduced, so that the military and political needs of Qiongzhou were mostly maintained by the previous attack on Guangzhou, so it was impossible to establish a normal financial and taxation system.

Finance is the lifeblood of the survival of the regime, and Zhao Yu understands this truth very well, although he has been trying his best to make money, but the situation he is facing has always made it impossible for him to establish a normal financial and taxation system, and it is impossible to establish a solid financial foundation by patting his head and trying to find a way, or by tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall, and it is impossible to establish a solid financial foundation, and the forced expropriation will inevitably intensify social contradictions, which is not conducive to the restoration of social and economic development, and it is still less possible to establish a stable social order. Therefore, it is necessary to make good use of what has been gained this time, and use it as the basis and guarantee for the establishment of a system to form a set of practical wartime fiscal policies......

In ancient and modern times, in addition to gold and silver property, it is indispensable to eat a big meal. Zhao Yu also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Pu Mansion not only has a lot of gold and silver treasures, but also there is no shortage of delicacies, to Zhao Hao's surprise is that he also has an ice vault in the house, which is rare in the hot south. The captured domestic servants, cooks, and singers were still detained in the military camp in Fuzhong, and they were also put to use, and they were all prepared without going out, which was a little more convenient than his palace.

Zhao Yu personally presented the best golden bowls and conferred officers on the ten warriors selected in the army, and then the right minister Wen Tianxiang and the governor of the political affairs department should be strict to present awards and awards to the other 90 selected military generals. The other 500 meritorious persons were too numerous, so they were led by the commanders of each army, and they were awarded to Yu after returning to the camp. After the ceremony, the banquet is opened, most of the soldiers in the army are rough men, and they are also from poor families, and they can eat meat for the festival. Therefore, Zhao Yu instructed that the dishes should not be too fine, but there should be more meat, a large amount, and more oil.

In addition, there is a very important one, the wine must be enough, Zhao Yu knows that wine can best set off the atmosphere, and the celebration banquet must not be without wine, and in Qiongzhou, not only is alcohol banned in the army, in order to save food, it is difficult to buy wine on the market, and now you must drink freely. Then there must be a singing and dancing performance, and those beauties raised in Pufu must be allowed to play. No matter what the program is, the music should be cheerful, the range of action should be large, the scene should be enthusiastic, and not those soft chanting and singing that swayed slowly.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu said that the army was still a little restrained at the beginning of the banquet, after all, it was to dine with the emperor and the important ministers of the court, and before coming, the commanders repeatedly told them that they must abide by military discipline and pay attention to etiquette, and they must not lose face in front of His Majesty. However, most of the generals who went to the banquet today were from the Chinese army and the Baisha Water Army, and they were not only the backbone of the army, but also took the lead in the battle, so there were many meritorious servicers. And many of them followed His Majesty to scoop rice in a pot when they established the army, and they not only knew each other, but also did not give birth to His Majesty.

Waiting for the sound of music, as soon as the wine and food are served, the two bowls of wine will be revealed. Not only did he talk a lot, but he also had the courage to run to the front of the palace to toast, and Ni Liang, who was in charge of the guards, did not stop him, his reason was simpler, they wanted to harm His Majesty a long time ago, and they didn't have to wait until today. And Zhao Yu did not refuse, he accompanied him with tea instead of wine, and also said a few jokes and chatted with them from time to time. In this way, they were even more 'presumptuous', chatting with His Majesty about the events of the year during the banquet, recalling the difficulties of the past, and when it came to the absence of the robe, he couldn't help crying, and Zhao Yu also said that he couldn't cry with him.

"These generals are really too presumptuous, why are they so rude!" Wen Tianxiang frowned and said sternly to Ying Jie on the side.

"Wen Xiang didn't know, I remember that when I was in Jiazi, His Majesty often sat on the steps in front of the mansion and watched the army practice, and when everyone was thirsty, they begged His Majesty for water to drink, and drank water from a cup, and never minded." Ying Jieyan said softly.

"But now it's different, it's different!" Wen Tianxiang said that he had also led the troops to the battle, even if they ate the same pot of rice, they would not squat and eat with the generals to show their humility.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, the difference between the top and the bottom is in the heart, not in the form. After Your Majesty ascends the throne, keep your original intention, do not forget the old ministers, and it is not a bad thing for us! Ying Jieyan chuckled and said, "Look at these generals again, why can they live and die with Your Majesty, it is not just coveting these gold and silver, and they can't talk about patriotism at the beginning, but they are grateful to Your Majesty for taking them in between dangers, and they still don't give up in the most dangerous times, so they will repay each other with their lives and swear to follow them." ”

"What the governor said is reasonable, Your Majesty does have skills, and I can't do it!" Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment. If he is close to the people, he can also work with the people and enjoy with the people, but if he wants to mix with these soldiers all day long, he can't do it. Of course, when the empty pit was attacked, most of the men and horses he gathered were also defeated in one blow, and they fled in all directions, with only a few henchmen by their side, and complained that they did not know their kindness at that time. But now compared with Your Majesty, what you have done is far worse, and every soldier here can go to the soup for him, and share life and death with him, because they know that His Majesty will not abandon him in the most dangerous moment.

Moreover, it is very reasonable to say that the founding kings of previous dynasties are often able to share wealth and prosperity, but they cannot share hardships. Although today's little emperor is not the founder of the country, everyone knows that this is no different from re-establishing the country, and it is even more difficult. And Wen Tianxiang knew that His Majesty was succeeding to the throne halfway and was at a disadvantage in the court battle, but he did not use his powerful military strength to seize power and kill dissidents, but mostly stayed in office, and still remembered the feelings of being ministers in the same court in the past. Therefore, it is a good thing for everyone to think about the old feelings.

"Your Majesty is indeed a man of affection and righteousness!" Zhang Shijie on the side also has some emotion, he said this is not a boast, in Qiongzhou when the ministers asked to behead their own army generals, His Majesty saw the love of the robe and pardoned them into the Ruifeng battalion, this time in the siege of the city in those who were to be convicted of the army will also be formed into a team to participate in the battle, the sacrifice will also be compensated, the meritorious service will be rewarded and awarded, and they are among the people who went to the banquet today.

What made Zhang Shijie even more impressed was that he and His Majesty could be said to have a 'grudge', not only wanted to rob him of his military rations when he was in Jiazi Town, but also put him in danger several times, and then did everything possible to prevent him from succeeding to the throne, and secretly used means to limit His Majesty's power. But His Majesty ascended to the great treasure and did not retaliate against him after taking control of the government, but still entrusted him with the important task of giving himself the first credit for seizing the city this time, how could this kind of mind not let the generals under his command serve him!

"Your Majesty is young, but the killing is too heavy, and it is not a good thing after all!" Although everyone is grateful for His Majesty, Wen Tianxiang did not delay eating at all when he saw His Majesty talking and laughing, and his appetite seemed to be very good, this was just returned from the execution ground. And he was beheaded for three consecutive days, and it is said that he was used to seeing this kind of bloody scene, but he was still unpleasant to eat, and it was difficult to swallow in the face of food, so he had to suspect that His Majesty was naturally murderous, so he mentioned it to Ying Jieyan again.

"Well, you should be reminded of your majesty!" Ying Jieyan also nodded, after all, he didn't want to teach a murderous faint king by himself.

At this moment, the banquet has entered the late stage, Zhao Yu is full and full of drink, but he also feels tired. Although he slept well last night, he was still young no matter what he said, and he couldn't stand it for such a day, so he had to go to the back pavilion to rest for a while, and Wen Tianxiang and the others went with him when they saw it. After a few small talks, they began to persuade them tactfully.

"Alas, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think is the most bitter thing in the world?" Zhao Yu woke up as soon as he heard the words, knowing that several people were going to give him a political lesson again, and after a few words, he understood that he was killing too many people, so he did not answer positively, but asked everyone about humanity.

"Your Majesty, the most difficult thing in the world is nothing more than the hardship of farming, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and there is no leisure!" Ying Jieyan thought for a while.

"No, the farmer still has the joy of the countryside, he is not the most bitter." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said.

"I don't know!" Wen Tianxiang pondered for a while, didn't know what His Majesty meant, and replied after a moment of silence.

"I don't know!" Gao Yingsong saw His Majesty looking at him, thinking that Ying Jieyan didn't say anything, so he wouldn't be ugly, Cai Wanyi shook his head even more.

"Alas, the most bitter thing in the world is the person who sits in this position!" Zhao Hao patted his chair and said with a sigh...... (To be continued.) )
