"Okay," Wang Qianli nodded, and said: "As for the seizures on the battlefield, my Taiyong battalion has the same regulations, no matter how much silver money is seized, thirty percent will be returned to the public for healing, resettlement of the disabled, and compensation for the dead; 10% is set aside for public expenses in the camp; The other sixty percent will be rewarded according to the size of the merit, and the merit will be discussed by each post, and it can be rewarded with the approval of Master Han. ”

The coolies have more or less heard that there are actually hundreds of people in the Taiyong battalion, and those people are on the way to Wanfu Bridge, and the banners of Hai'an, Qutang, Baimi, and Jiaoxian are occupied by that side, and it is not easy to divide the regiment here, so several Shangguan decided that more than 400 people here should be organized according to the army, Shihe, and whistle.

Five people in a team, set up a captain.

Every tithe, set up a tithe.

Each post has four she, and there is a sentry chief.

Wang Qianli, Han Bo, the cousin of Ambassador Han of the Jiaoxichang Salt Division, and Yu Qinghuai and Li Zhiyong, who had never met, each led two sentinels, and Lu Daming, Liang Liu, Liang Jiu, and the family members of Wang Qianli, Yu Qinghuai, Li Zhiyong and other officials served as sentinels. It is worth mentioning that Lu Daming will serve as the sentry commander next, and all the shotguns and guns will be raised, and it is said that Master Han even plans to give all the firebird guns of his soldiers to the armor sentry.

However, their minds were not on this at this moment, and they all stared at the two baskets of gold and silver in front of the hall, thinking about how much reward they could receive.

"What is clear reward and punishment, clear reward and punishment means that if there is an attack, there will be a reward, and if there is no attack, there is nothing." Wang Qianli cleared his throat and pointed to the two baskets of gold and silver beside Pan Er: "These silver coins were seized by the eighty-six brothers who went to Guazhou with Mr. Lu Qian on an errand, so only these eighty-six brothers will be rewarded." Don't be discouraged if you haven't gone brothers, the bandits will soon come to attack my Yangzhou, you have the opportunity to make contributions! ”

The coolies who had made great contributions and would receive the reward in a few moments smiled one by one. The coolies who were guarding outside Yangzhou City to pick up leaks actually knew that they didn't have their share, and the reason why they were so excited just now was just a fluke, and when they heard Wang Qianli say this, they looked at the companions who came back from Guazhou at night, and their eyes were full of envy.

Wang Qianli knew very well that Han Xiufeng asked him to announce these things to help him establish his prestige, he looked down at the accounts that Pan Er had just calculated, and then said: "What was seized at night was the stolen goods, more than a dozen thieves were all imprisoned in the house by the river, and the bitter masters were all in Yangzhou. You must know that we are the townsmen of Taizhou, not bandits, and we can't eat black and black, so we have to leave half of the stolen goods. ”

The coolies had never seen so much silver, and they thought to themselves, even if they returned half of it, there would be a lot left.

Seeing that no one objected, Wang Qianli said in a low voice: "Half of what is left is 4,711 taels and 5 yuan, and 40% is handed over to the camp, and what can be rewarded to the big guy is 2,826 taels." My Taiyong battalion is not a green battalion, our officers and soldiers are one, like brothers and sisters, up to Master Han, down to the general of Qian, the general, the sentinel chief, the chief, and the military chief, all of them are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and civil and military officials will not take more than a penny, so these two thousand eight hundred and twenty-six taels are all taken out and divided equally among the brothers who went to Guazhou, counting Lu Qianzong, each person will be rewarded with thirty-two taels of silver, and the remaining fraction will be counted as fire consumption. ”

Can you receive thirty-two taels of silver, and how much money can you earn by carrying salt on Taiba for a year?

Zhang Xiaoqi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, it felt like he was dreaming. Yang Shulin was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his own ears. Wang San has seen the world, but he is also stupid, he doesn't know how to spend so much money at once.

In the green camp, Lu Daming could get two or three hundred taels if he said the least, but now he only has more than thirty taels, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, after all, these are all the brothers he recruited from Taiba, if he takes too many brothers, he must have an idea, not to mention whether to return the stolen goods or not, Master Han has the final say, and he will make up for it in private.

Han Xiufeng looked at their ecstatic appearance, stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Brothers, this silver is easy to come by, right?" ”

"Easy!"

"Thank you for the support of Master Han, if it weren't for Master Han's support, how could the small one have this blessing!"

"Don't thank you, what the official wants to say is that this silver is easy to come by, and it is easy to spend." Han Xiufeng looked at everyone with a smile, and said meaningfully: "The hard days have been enough, and finally there are dozens of taels of silver and don't hurry up to spend it, across the river is Yangzhou City, there are restaurants in the city, there are kilns, and there are mother-in-laws with fine skin and tender meat in the kiln, as long as you have silver, you can have whatever you want, these dozens of taels of silver are enough for you to live happily for a few days." ”

Wang San is Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and he has never touched a woman, and just now he really thought about tasting what it is like to be a woman when he receives the reward. Zhang Xiaoqi and Yang Shulin didn't want to go over to find a woman, but wanted to go to a restaurant to have a good meal. But when they heard Master Han say this, they suddenly realized that they had to live a long life, and they couldn't spend a little money on drinking.

Han Xiufeng's face sank: "I want to come up happily to get the silver, but after receiving the silver, I have to take off the gown, and in the future, the road will go to one side, as long as I am honest and reliable in the Taiyong Battalion, I don't want a little silver to go to spend all day drinking, just go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble!" ”

"Master Han, where do the little ones dare, the little ones don't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble."

"Yes, Master Han, the little one wants to buy land like Brother Da Ming, and he wants to live his own life."

"That's right, you can't forget who you are when you have some money. This official has helped you think about it, you will first enter the corner of the oblique field, you know how to naturalize, how can it cost two taels of silver. The rest of the silver was used to buy land, three taels and one acre, and one person could buy ten acres. As long as you have worked in the camp for two years, you will be able to go to the corner and live a solid life. ”

"Master Han, the little one is willing to buy land, but now that he buys it, he can't leave the land wasted there, who are we going to plant it in the camp?"

"Yes, the land cannot be left barren."

"This matter has also been thought out for you, you have to serve in the camp, but there are still many brothers on Taiba who have no livelihood, so you can let the brothers who are familiar with you help plant. The land is freshly silted saline, overgrown with weeds, and the harvest will not be much in the first two years, but as long as you take care of it, you can always manage a few mouths. Not only opened up the wasteland, but also helped the brothers who knew each other, the best of both worlds, how good. ”

"This is a solution, Master Han, Brother Da Ming, let the sixth uncle help plant my land."

"Brother Da Ming, I don't know if Yu Er and they are still in Taizhou, if they don't leave, let them go to Jiaoxian to help me plant, I don't charge his rent, no matter how much grain he collects, all will belong to him!"

"They should still be there, don't worry, come over one by one to sign and draw the pledge, and wait for Mr. Wu to help register and help make the book, Master Han will send someone to Taiba to help you carry the letter, and he will also send someone to the corner of the slope field to ask Ambassador Han to help you measure the land, and if the amount is good, you will have a land deed."

"Great, I have land too!"

"Ten acres, a whole ten acres of land, God has eyes, and I, Li Laosan, also have today."

Thinking that they would soon have ten acres of land of their own, a group of coolies couldn't help but cry with joy. The coolies who stayed outside Yangzhou City with Wang Jiansheng before were envious to death, and secretly swore that when the bandits came, they would kill a few more, and if they didn't fight, they would not only have to live a hard life for a lifetime, but they would not even be able to marry their mother-in-law, and no one would help them pass on the lineage.
