At the end of October of the thirteenth year of Liyang

After a little half a month of tossing, the imperial court's reward for Yan Kui's extermination of the Black Wind Ridge was finally officially down.

First of all, Yan Kui was promoted to the rank of lieutenant from the sixth rank of the Tong'an General Military Mansion, which is Yan Kui's official title, and his main position is the previously agreed envoy of the three counties to suppress bandits.

This three-county anti-bandit superintendent is not a regular military position of the imperial court, but a temporary official position under the command of Hong Guangbing's anti-bandit army, and his authority is to form a three-county militia group as the vanguard of the anti-bandit army.

In the military system of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the official rank and the main position of the military general are two different concepts, the official title is the grade of the military general, and the main position is the position and responsibility of the military general, such as Hong Guangbing, his official title should be from the fourth rank of the general Zhaowu, the general of Tong'an Mansion.

And Yan Kui reported to his home later, and his full name was Tong'an General Military Mansion from Liupindu, and Yan Kui was supervised by the three counties to suppress bandits.

Because he had greeted Hong Guangbing before, and Yan Kui's subordinates had indeed made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Heifengling, so this time the court commended many people under Yan Kui's command as an official and a half-job.

Liu Mao, the deputy regiment of the militia regiment, was promoted to a general from the seventh grade, and was transferred back to Fucheng for another reuse.

Gong Fa and Chen Xingxiao, because of their outstanding performance, were promoted to be from eight products and thousands of households, He Chun, Shi Yong and other five hairs, with slightly lower credit, and one of them was appointed to a nine-grade hundred households.

As for Xu Yu, who has a lot of credit, he could be awarded an eight-grade master according to his merits, but Xu Yu still wants to go further in the imperial examination, and the Northern Jin Dynasty has a system, and once an official takes up an official position, he can no longer conduct the imperial examination.

Therefore, under Yan Kui's maneuvering, the Fucheng side temporarily pressed Xu Yu's reward, and in the future, the credit could be converted into the imperial examination.

When Xu Yu goes to take the township examination again, his information will be written about his merits in the Battle of Heifengling, and the chief examiner and all the deputy examiners at that time will add some points to Xu Yu according to this situation.

This is called a gongyuan, which is not the same as an ordinary reference white body.

…………

In fact, according to the message sent by Hong Guangbing, it was originally because He Ji repaid Yan Kui's merits to King Duan, King Duan valued his ability and wanted to be directly promoted to Zhengliupin, but he was disrupted by King Jing's party, which was at odds with King Duan.

So, in the end, Yan Kui only got a sixth grade, just like that, Duanwang still spoke strongly, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to rise to the sixth grade.

Later, out of debt to Yan Kui or the psychology of wooing, He Fuyin would mention a few of Yan Kui's henchmen, otherwise according to the previous plan, only Liu Mao, Gong Fa, and Chen Xingxiao would be promoted (sealed) to official positions.

Don't think that the officials of the eighth and ninth grades are not worth much, a dignified and a hundred miles of Hou County Order is only seven grades, and Huang Dahu has been mixed for so many years, and he is also a county lieutenant of the eighth grade.

Gong Fa and others have only been in the army for half a year, and they have become eight or nine thousand households, if it weren't for the fact that the Heifengling victory was really beautiful, even if He Ji, the Fu Yin, wanted to compensate Yan Kui, he would not dare to open so many openings, after all, many old soldiers have joined the army for many years and have not mixed up with the grade.

Yan Kui didn't have any regret for himself in this regard, after all, the big guy was born and died with him so many times, and it should be rewarded, compared with his official position being demoted to one level and the brothers of Daliu Village joining the official ranks, Yan Kui will definitely choose the latter.

However, his own choice is his own choice, and Yan Kui still remembers the troublesome King Jing.

A dignified prince, interfering with the promotion of his own six-grade petty official, is really not a son of man, if he rises in the future, he will return today's fruits.........

Normally, Yan Kui is generous and bold, but sometimes, someone's heart eyes are smaller than a needle nose.

…………

In addition to Yan Kui and his gang getting the reward, four other people also got benefits.

The first is Zhuang Laofu and Jiao Hui, Jiao Hui don't say it first, Zhuang Laofu is old because of his advanced age, and he has been trapped in the cottage for many years, and he just wants to reunite with his family for the rest of his life, so Fucheng rewarded him with a nine-grade false position, and a lot of money to keep him for retirement.

This old boy who has been devoted to the court all his life, seeing that the court treats himself so kindly, he can't help but kneel on the ground and shout long live my emperor, tears are falling, which is moving.

Compared with Zhuang Laofu, who is dedicated to providing for the elderly and being satisfied with some rewards, Jiao Hui, who is in the prime of life, obviously has his own ambitions.

However, in the end, he had a bad track record, and the ordinary yamen would not be willing to use him easily, and in the end, Yan Kui felt that his martial arts were good, and it was a pity to bury the people, so he recycled Jiao under the account.

Seeing this, Fucheng casually gave a favor and changed the originally agreed reward of Jiaohui to nine products and one hundred households, which was regarded as a good starting point.

So, Jiao Hui joined the army and became a nine-grade hundred-hundred And Yan Kui's account won a brave general, and he was also very happy; As for Fucheng's side, he changed it twice, and he won Yan Kui's favor in vain, and he made a steady profit without losing money.

In this way, the three parties take what they need, and all three are perfect!!

…………

After Zhuang Laofu and Jiao Hui, the two heroes who set things right, Hua Wenzheng, the biggest supporter of Yan Kui's suppression of bandits, and Huang Dahu, the deputy commander of the An People's Army, were all rewarded.

The county order Hua Wenzheng, in terms of the merit of suppressing bandits, the first merit of Yan Kui can be said to be single-handedly pulled up by him; The militia that has repeatedly made war exploits was also formed by his order; Yan Kui's order to settle in Qinghukou was given by Hua Wenzheng, and then submitted to the capital for approval.

In addition, the previous campaigns against bandits. Huaxian Ling actively provided logistics, asked for money for money, and asked for grain for food, giving Yan Kui a lot of logistical support, if it wasn't for him to be spent behind, Yan Kui would never be so easy to fight Heifengling.

Therefore, although Hua Wenzheng looked silent, in terms of actual military merits, even if Hua was not as good as Yan Kui, he could still rank in the top three.

Not to mention that during Hua Wenzheng's tenure, the bandits that had plagued the country for many years were eliminated, which in itself was a great political achievement.

With these merits, Hua Wenzheng is an ordinary county magistrate, and I am afraid that he will also be vigorously promoted by the imperial court, not to mention his Houmen background.

Yes, Hua Wenzheng is not liked by his father Hua Lao Houye, but if he doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that Hua Lao Hou Ye will suppress his son, and Lao Hou Ye will not be so mad.

On the contrary, for the sake of the reputation of the Hou Mansion, he was no longer willing to go to history, so he had to help take care of Hua Wenzheng's promotion.

Knowing the shot of the Jinghou Mansion, coupled with the fact that Hua Wenzheng's wife and clan also made a force, after a period of operation, Hua Wenzheng was promoted to three levels in a row, and was transferred to Nanling Mansion to serve as a five-grade Tongzhi, which can be described as a step forward...... High.

A few months ago, Hua Wenzheng was still worried that he didn't make the right move, but a few months later, things went smoothly to him in disbelief.

Five products!

Hua Wenzheng originally felt that he was already very satisfied with the qualifications to rush in three years, but he didn't think that even a year had passed, and he knew it from Wupin and Yifu.

Compared with him, the old man is a trusted relationship, and he is the fifth brother who entered the military department through the back door, and he is full of high hopes, but now he has not even gained a firm foothold in the yamen of the military department.

Thinking of this, Hua Wenzheng's face smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum............

…………

Hua Wenzheng smiled happily, and Huang Dahu was also very happy, although his credit was incomparable with Yan Kui and Hua Wenzheng, but the light was enough for him to taste what he wanted.

Take off eight and seven.

The general military palace ordered that Huang Dahu be promoted to a partial general from the seventh grade, and he would serve in the city after the year, which could make Huang Dahu, who had been trapped in the eighth grade for many years, excited.

That night, with his wife and children, he pulled a cart of gifts, and ran to Yan's mansion to have a drink with Yan Kui, during which Huang Dahu solemnly apologized to Yan Kui in front of his wife and children and everyone in the Yan family, reflecting on his previous targeting and suppression of Yan Kui.

Regardless of whether Huang Dahu's psychological words were true or false, in front of the two families, he personally toasted Yan Kui and apologized, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Huang Dahu was so sincere, Yan Kui naturally couldn't brush the other party's face, and accepted Huang's toast with a smile, and the two brothers officially announced their reconciliation.

Seeing that her husband and Yan Kui successfully reconciled, Liang on the side breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although Huang Dahu has a lot of power in Qingyuan, he is still a lot worse than Yan Kui, not to mention that their family will soon go to Fucheng, leaving the base camp of Qingyuan, what will they do to compete with Yan Kui.

In fact, Huang Dahu didn't really want to go to Fucheng to serve, it didn't matter before he changed, he believed that even if he went to Fucheng, as long as the official position on his body was still there, Qingyuan would still be under his control.

But now it's different, Qingyuan has such a local strong dragon as Yan Kui, if he goes to Fucheng, this Qingyuan still has his share in speaking?

But when the military order came down, Huang Dahu didn't dare to disobey, not to mention, even if he didn't leave, Yan Kui probably wouldn't let him monopolize all the financial routes in Qingyuan, and his position as the overlord of Qingyuan was still not guaranteed.

In fact, since Yan Kui came back from the Qinghukou class teacher, the position of Qingyuan's talker began to change hands, and Huang Dahu took advantage of his relationship with Yan Kui to take the initiative to abdicate, which was a really wise move.

In this way, out of morality and affection, Yan Kui will not hit the Huang family too hard, and the Huang family can also retain some business and wealth.

…………

Yan Kui of Huang Dahu and his wife knew their thoughts, but he didn't mean to kill them all, the Huang family knew each other, and he saved trouble.

It's just that the Huang family retreated, and then gave Yan Kui a problem, who to find to take care of his future business and assets?

Yan Kui's own militia is definitely not good, not to mention that most of them don't understand business, even if there is a talent like Xu Yu who knows how to do it, he is reluctant to let it be overused.

As for the family, it's not that Yan Kui is black, the old father and eldest brother are honest and honest, and at first glance they are not the material for doing business, and the third Yan Xiong is clever when he is small, but he is a malleable talent, but unfortunately he is too young and lacks experience to bear this matter.

Cousin Yan Jiang is a suitable candidate, but Yan's father was bent on letting him go through the imperial examination, Yan Kui just revealed his meaning, and was categorically rejected by Yan's father.

In the end, Yan Kui thought of his little uncle Dong Guangming, who owned a grocery store.

Dong Guangming has been in business for many years, although the business is not big, but he has some of his own experience, the most important thing is Yan Kui's own family, compared to finding a stranger to be in charge of his future financial future, Yan Kui trusts his little uncle more.

In addition, Yan Kui plans to send the six sons of the butcher shop to Dong Guangming as his deputy, one is to cultivate, and the other is to install a henchman eyeliner to help him keep an eye on it.

After thinking about it, Yan Kui felt that his method was quite appropriate, so he took the time to find his uncle and six sons, and arranged for them to prepare to open a few profitable businesses to enrich his small treasury.
