Chapter 112: Keeping Promises

The next day.

The guerrilla battalion exercise ground, and the vigorous commendation meeting began.

The sergeants who have obtained military merits, the sergeants who defended the camp, the people who built the camp, the displaced people who came to defect, and the more than a dozen li chiefs and armor chiefs brought back by Yu Zhong all gathered here.

The sergeants who had won military merits stood in the middle of the martial arts arena, and everyone else was watching.

The dozen or so lieutenant chiefs and A chiefs were specially arranged by Wang Zezhi on the side of the review stand, sitting on chairs to watch this grand occasion.

Wang Zezhi looked at the excited and eager faces on the martial arts arena, and came to the review stand to start speaking.

"Lao Tzu said that one Tartar has three military exploits, and today is the time to cash in.

Of course, what I promised you, I will marry your mother-in-law, and my king will speak for it.

As long as you have a girl you like, the money that you marry your mother-in-law is out, and the ugly words are ahead, and those who rob the people's daughters will be expelled from the army, and the whole army will be announced, beheaded!

Now for the reward for meritorious deeds, all who come up to the name shall receive the reward, and after receiving the reward, they shall rest for three days, and after the rest they shall not do anything bad, but whoever is oppressed by any of you who oppresses the good and harms one of you, shall be punished with fifty rods and expelled from the army.

Okay, let's go. ”

Wang Zezhi knew that it was useless to say a lot of high-sounding words to these guys Rory, simple and direct, and going straight to the point was the best way to communicate.

Wang Zeyi waved his hand, and one by one the pallets holding the title deed, boxes of silver, and cartloads of rice and grain were transported over.

The box was opened, and the light reflected in the silver blinded the eyes of those present.

Everyone was breathing heavily, and some were even drooling.

On the review stand, the dozen or so lieutenant chiefs and A captains all stood up in shock, they had never seen so much silver, let alone a military master who gave out so much silver.

"Zhang Mazi."

"Here."

"Two Tartar heads, 60 taels of silver, 3 stones of rice grain, 3 acres of fertile land in the cave whirlpool, one Yuxian mansion, six first-level military merits, promotion to third-level soldiers, with three bar epaulettes, and a B-level wooden household registration."

Basically, all the sergeants have reached the level of third-level soldiers, so Wang Zezhi arranged for Shan Tongshan to go to Yuxian County early to take care of the house.

Most of them are one-family houses.

Wang Zezhi wanted to divide the houses among the soldiers who had obtained military merits, one was to motivate them, and the other was to bind them.

As long as these people have a home in the allotted house, the barracks will be their support in the future.

With this layer of protection, he is not afraid that the sergeants will follow him without giving up, and he no longer has to worry about the sergeants having two hearts.

The reason why there are so many vacant houses in Yu County is because loaches and cholera killed too many people in Yu County.

Otherwise, Wang Ze would not have been able to reward the soldiers with so many mansions.

Another point is that most of the owners of these houses have died in the chaos of the thieves' war.

Since the original owners of these houses died in the war, these houses became nominal murderous houses, which led to the fact that when he bought these houses, the price was quite cheap, and Wang Zezhi actually bought these houses at all.

Zhang Mazi excitedly accepted his reward, waved his hand at the sergeant waiting for the reward, and took the house key and the title deed to look at the house.

"Li Si."

"Here."

"Two Tartars..."80

The sergeants came to the stage one after another, and the people present were breathing more and more rapidly, and they all watched the sergeants receive the awards with red eyes, and they were all eager to receive the rewards.

"Li Changhe."

"Here."

"Seven Tartar heads, two hundred and ten taels of silver, five stones of rice grain, five acres of fertile land with whirlpools, a set of three courtyards in Yuxian County, twenty-one first-level military merits, promotion to fifth-level soldiers, with epaulettes one star and one bar, and a B-level wooden household registration."

"Wow~"

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable..."

"So much silver."

"Sanjin's house..."

The entire martial arts arena, whether it was the sergeants or the onlookers, was all boiling.

They had to boil, ordinary people for a family of three used less than three taels of silver a month, and at most less than forty taels a year, and Li Changhe's reward this time reached the cost of an ordinary family of three for more than five years.

The main thing is that they also award a house, and it is a three-entry quadrangle.

The third-level soldier is just a house when he enters, and when he enters the street gate, he directly enters the courtyard, which runs through the central axis, and the houses are all single-storey, and there is a one-bedroom house in the whole courtyard.

Three into the quadrangle, the first into the courtyard is the narrow courtyard where the inverted seat room dwells before the hanging flower door, the second courtyard is the wing room, the main room, the verandah, the main room and the wing room can also add the ear room, the third into the courtyard is the back cover room after the main house, open a door in the ear room of the main landlord, connect the second and third into the courtyard.

In the whole courtyard, the old man lives in the upper room of the north room, the middle is the middle of the large living room, the eldest son lives in the east wing, the second son lives in the west wing, the servant lives in the inverted room, and the daughter lives in the backyard, which does not affect each other.

Ordinary people may not be able to buy such a set of courtyard houses after working hard all their lives.

The dozen or so lieutenant chiefs and A chiefs on the review table swallowed their saliva one by one, and watched in disbelief as Li Changhe received the reward.

Li Changhe raised his head and held his chest high, not arrogant or impatient, he received the reward, and looked at the five stone rice grain and was a little worried, he couldn't take so much rice grain alone.

Wang Zezhi had already thought of this, and with a wave of his hand, some of the people he had invited to open up the wasteland immediately stepped forward to help Li Changhe carry grain.

Li Changhe bowed to Wang Zezhi, took a horse, and went to Yuxian County to see the house.

Some of the people who were in the spirit of the people, after hearing that Wang Zezhi had promised to marry the soldiers and their wives, all moved their minds and followed these soldiers to Yuxian.

They wanted to see what kind of houses these sergeants had been assigned and which area of Yu County their houses were in.

In this way, they can go to the matchmaker.

Some of these people are matchmakers for their daughters, some are for relatives, some are for friends, in short, in their eyes, the sergeants at this moment have become masters, and they must be the masters.

Being able to get in touch with these sergeants will definitely change in the future.

All of a sudden, the people around the parade were busy, including some homeless people who came to see the hot spots.

These people have long suffered from the days when they have eaten the last meal without the next meal, and if their daughters can marry these sergeants, it will not be a good place to go.

"Zhang Sanfeng."

"Here."

"Eight Tartar heads, 210 taels of silver, 5 stones of rice grain, 5 acres of fertile land in the cave whirlpool, a set of Yuxian Sanjin Quadrangle, up to 24 first-level military merits, promoted to fifth-level soldiers, with epaulettes of one star and one bar, and a second-class wooden household registration."

"Zhao..."

The reward continued, but the number of onlookers in the parade hall became smaller and fewer.

Most of them followed the sergeants to Yuxian to talk about matchmaking.
