Chapter 27: The Reward (Part II)

Listening to everyone's messy questions, Xu Kang smiled on his face, and his heart was MMP.

"The wife and concubine are woolen, Lao Tzu is still a child!"

Of course, he can only think about this in his heart, and he can't say it on his lips, otherwise the words he specifically mentioned when he introduced himself before would become a joke.

Because in this era, minors basically have no words, and if you let this group of ** know that they are underage, then it may be a little difficult to suppress them in the future.

So Xu Kang could only pull a bunch of lofty reasons for "the yellow scarf is not extinguished, why is it a family", and then took out the small round pieces in his box and sent one to each of these ** who asked no nutritional problems.

Of course, not everyone is like this, and one of them asked a very in-depth question.

"Why do you have to get a squad leader out when there are Wu Chiefs and Shi Chiefs?"

In fact, everyone present wanted to ask this question, but no one wanted to be the first bird.

Of course, Xu Kang understood this, so after hearing this question, he directly took out ten small round pieces and rewarded them to this bold chief, and then slowly explained to him.

"Your question is a good question, but there is one thing you didn't understand, the chief and the chief are just a title, not an official position, but the squad leader is different, they are the same as you tun leaders, they are essentially officials, the two are different, understand?"

"What?"

Hearing Xu Kang's explanation, everyone showed shocked looks, especially Zhao Hong, who stood up directly.

"Your Excellency, are you serious? If these squad leaders are officials, will the court agree? What shall they do? No joke! ”

At this time, he was really anxious, he was worried that Xu Kang's opening of the river would mess up the morale of the army, and when the soldiers were dissatisfied, they would be secondary, and if they caused a mutiny, it would be troublesome.

Although this probability is very small, it cannot be prevented!

Looking at Zhao Hong's nervous and anxious look, Xu Kang also guessed his concern, so he laughed again.

"Hehe, Zhao Hong, don't be impatient, I have my own measure!"

With that, he looked around again and opened his mouth to them again.

"I know that the question you want to ask is the same as that of Zhao Junhou, so I will tell you clearly, I am not joking, as long as you can prove that you are indeed worthy of this official position, then I can give you what you want!"

Hearing his categorical words, Zhang Cheng, another district military marquis who had not spoken since just now, also stood up at this time.

After standing up, he saluted Xu Kang with a fist.

"Then the subordinates dare to ask the adults, if these squad leaders do prove themselves, what should the adults do?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes converged on Xu Kang again.

Especially the former leaders who have just become squad leaders, their eyes are even more hopeful and longing, as well as a little apprehensive and uneasy.

It's not that they are all official fans, but in this era, ordinary farmers are too bitter.

Although it shows that the tax of the imperial court is thirty and one, but all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are accumulated, and the peasants only produce enough grain for half a year to eat, and the remaining half a year has to find another way, which can be said to be precarious.

These military commanders and even chiefs have the word "long" when they say it sounds, but when they go home after the war, they still have to farm and pay taxes.

And now, Xu Kang said that let them be officials, which is undoubtedly a turning point in their fate, how can they remain calm in the face of such a thing?

Looking at the people with different expressions, Xu Kang could roughly understand their thoughts, so he didn't speak immediately, but thought in his mind for more than ten seconds, and after organizing his own language, he slowly opened his mouth to them.

"These of you squad leaders were all elected by my order, and they were not recognized by the imperial court, but as long as you can prove yourself, I will recommend you to the general to be the tun chief, or even the military marquis, and become an official recognized by the imperial court!"

With that, he turned his head to look around at the people around him, and found that they didn't show excited expressions on their faces, and immediately laughed again.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about the general or the court disagreeing, if that's the case, after the yellow scarf is repulsed, you will follow me to stay in Changshe County, and I will send you your money.

All the squad leaders' Yu Lu is compared to the pavilion chief, and the annual Yu Lu is fifty stones, if there is meritorious service, the reward is counted separately, I swear to my Xu family that I will never break my word, otherwise heaven and man will abandon it! ”

In this day and age, reputation is very important, and taking an oath is a very serious matter, and no one will joke about the reputation of their family.

So at this time, when Xu Kang's words fell, all the squad leaders, tun chiefs, and Zhao Hong and Zhang Cheng, the two Qu Wuhous, all knelt on one knee and saluted with fists at the same time.

"I am willing to die for the adults and defeat the Yellow Turban Thief together!"

They had said this once before, but now this time they felt completely different from before.

And Xu Kang also felt this, so he also hugged his fist towards everyone, "Okay, then Xu will rely on you in the future, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" After everyone thanked them, they all got up.

After everyone stood up, Xu Kang smiled again: "Hehe, it seems that the process of getting acquainted with each other today is quite pleasant, so I won't talk nonsense, let's go directly to the next link, redeem the prize!" ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it, and directly took out a box containing silver from the space backpack, and opened it in front of everyone, revealing the white silver nuggets inside.

Seeing this box full of silver, everyone was stunned, their eyes widened one by one, and bursts of inhalation sounded in the field.

"Shhh...... This is...... Versus? ”

"It's silver taels, I've seen it once in the General's Mansion, it's like this, I won't be mistaken!"

"That's right, that's right, adults are really gods......

Seeing the shocked appearance of everyone, Xu Kang, who was proud in his heart, immediately laughed, and waved his hand at everyone while laughing.

"It's just some Taoist magic, you don't have to be too surprised, okay, don't waste time, you just got the tokens...... That is, the small round I gave you, you can exchange it for silver with me, a token for one or two silver, is there anyone who can exchange it? ”

As soon as Xu Kang's words came out, everyone who was originally talking about it because they saw the silver immediately stopped, and looked at him in disbelief, but no one was willing to step forward.

Seeing this scene, Xu Kang immediately frowned, and then opened his mouth to Zhao Hong beside him again, "Zhao Hong, you come to exchange it first, and exchange your ten tokens for ten taels of silver!" ”

His original intention was to find someone to take the lead, but he didn't expect that after hearing his words, Zhao Hong showed a look of reluctance, and even his words became slurred.

"This ...... That one...... My lord, I don't lack silver, let's let it be given to others, or let Zhang Wuhou change it, just now you also gave him ten of that...... Tokens! ”

"Uh......"

Zhao Hong's refusal made Xu Kang stunned, and Zhang Cheng, who had just been brought down by him, was also stunned.

Zhang was going to exchange the tokens he had just gotten for silver, after all, no matter how strange this thing was, it was not as real as real money.

But now as soon as he heard Zhao Hong's words, he immediately changed his mind.

"Zhao Hong, this guy has always been the master who does not suffer, there must be a reason why he doesn't change, then I can't change it either!"

Thinking of this, he immediately saluted Xu Kang with his fists, "My lord, there is no shortage of money under the horse, let's let the other soldiers change first!" ”

"Uh...... All right! ”

Seeing that both of them refused, Xu Kang couldn't force it, so he could only turn his gaze to the surrounding tun chiefs and squad leaders again.

"Let's change it, I vouch for it with my personality, these are real silver, each piece is one tael, never adulterated, and there is no short catty or two, one token and one piece, no one changes it?"

After speaking, he looked at the people around him, but found that no one spoke, and no one stepped forward to redeem it.

This made him sigh a little helplessly.

"Alas, you abrasive little goblins, that's it, since you don't want to exchange for silver, then let's have some gold!"

After saying that, he waved his hand again, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, he "conjured" out another box, and then opened it again.

When the lid of the box was opened, the box of golden cakes suddenly came into everyone's eyes, and their eyes were instantly firmly absorbed.

"This ...... This is...... Gold? ”
