In the sixth year of Huichang, in December, on the obscure day, Li Chen, who had been on the throne for nine months, issued several edicts one after another almost in one day.

Lu Longjie made Zhang Zhongwu have meritorious service in the feudal domain, entered the inspection school Situ, added the title of Pingzhang, ate 500 households in Shiyi, gave thousands of silk horses, and thousands of money, however, because of the unfavorable control of Hebei chaos, so that the thieves had a chance to take advantage of the thirteen states of Lu Long's jurisdiction, so that the military situation came and went back and forth to fear that there was a delay, and now Yizhou and Dingzhou are accepted into Chengde moderation.

Chengde Festival made Wang Yuankui, righteousness first, helped Lu Long to fight for the feudal domain, entered the inspection school Situ, and also served as the secretary of the military department, plus the title of Pingzhang, 400 households in Shishiyi, gave thousands of horses, and thousands of money.

Henghai Jiedu made Liu Yue have meritorious service in asking for the domain, opening the palace with the three divisions, plus the same Pingzhang title, eating 400 households, giving thousands of silk horses, money and all kinds of nourishing treasures.

Youzhou marching Sima and the imperial envoy Li Zhen, the soldiers went out of Chongqing Pass to go deep into the enemy's territory, loyal and commendable, promoted to guerrilla general, gave thousands of horses, and thousands of money.

As for the other civil and military officials in the table, they are all registered in the register and awarded meritorious service.

"I didn't ...... Gone?! Zhang Zhifang stared at his eyes and shook the holy decree in his hand, his words full of anger.

"What? What more could you want? Zhang Zhongwu had an indifferent expression.

"Even a vassal general like Lao Gu has been named a general of the German Lang, why is Zeyuan just a guerrilla general, but he has only been promoted to the first rank, and he is still a nominal loose official, what about the title of a good one? Your Majesty is so favoritous, isn't he afraid of chilling people's hearts? Zhang Zhifang argued with a stiff neck.

"Enough, enough!" Zhang Zhongwu's eyes closed slightly, and he waved his hand to Zhang Zhifang, driving him out like a fly.

But when Zhang Zhifang retreated, Zhang Zhongwu slowly opened his eyes again, and looked at the west with a seemingly cloudy gaze.

That's the direction of Chang'an.

After a while, Zhang Zhongwu's face had a slight meaningful smile, and all the meritorious people he invited to play in his table agreed without any objection, but only Li Zhen.

There are almost no substantive rewards other than those gold, silver and money, and even the official position of the loose official is only promoted from the Zhaowu captain of the sixth rank to the guerrilla general of the fifth rank, and the title he has asked for is not mentioned at all, and even the merit book only has the words "loyal and brave".

So much so that Lu Longjun was complaining about it, if it weren't for Zhang Zhongwu's strong suppression, I am afraid that these people would have already jointly written to the court.

Everyone was upset by the cold reception suffered by Li Zhen, but only Zhang Zhongwu knew that Li Chen's move might have another deep meaning, a deep meaning that he could not guess at present.

Zhang Zhongwu knows that Li Zhen has not fallen out of favor and has never fallen out of favor.

"Li Zhen, hehe, you can't figure it out to the old man!" Zhang Zhongwu sighed lightly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lee House.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of officials of all sizes who have come to visit Lu Long, from the deputy envoys of various departments to the general judgment to join the army, so that Li Zhen, who has nothing to do, is quite full all day long.

"Da Lang, how much did you collect today?" Li Zhen sat cross-legged on top of several cases, with a lazy look on his face.

After hearing this, Yan Heng grinned and said, "Hehe, there are two hundred and seventy yuan in the account today, if you add the previous few days, the total is ...... One hundred and thirty-two plus one hundred ......"

"Taiwen, how much did I tell you yesterday?" Yan Heng asked Zheng Zheng with a red face.

"Oh...... Forgot about ......," Zheng replied without thinking.

Yan Heng: "......"

Yan Heng had to fold his fingers and calculate without distraction, but his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Zheng Zhen and Gao Biao on the side didn't speak when they saw this, but they just had a smile on their faces, smiling ill-intentionedly.

After half a pillar of incense, Yan Heng's brows suddenly became relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat beads from his forehead, raised his head and said to Li Zhen, who had already fallen asleep: "Ha! I've figured it out! These days add up to more than 3,700! ”

"More than three thousand seven hundred? What does it mean? How much exactly? Li Zhen yawned, obviously dissatisfied with Yan Heng's answer.

"Three thousand one hundred and thirty-two!" This time, Yan Heng answered very simply.

"Oh? But I remember yesterday you said 3,225 guan, plus the recent 270 guan should be 3,495 guan, and the other 363 guan...... Did you eat it? Zheng Zhen pretended to be surprised.

"You...... Didn't you say you forgot, Zheng Taiwen, you me! Yan Heng got up and pointed at Zheng Zheng and said angrily.

"Hahaha! This is what you rushed to settle the account yourself, and it is up to me to make a mistake! Seeing Yan Heng's state, Zheng Zhen couldn't help laughing.

And Gao Biao on the side was already laughing so much that he couldn't stand up straight.

Seeing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but say angrily: "Da Lang, in the future, you will only be responsible for guarding the money, and it is better to leave the matter of settling accounts to Brother Taiwen!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhen also slowly put away his smile and said to Li Zhen: "Zeyuan, is it really okay for us to blatantly collect money now?" ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and smiled: "What are you afraid of, they sent it willingly, and besides, we didn't promise them any benefits, just to see that I was pitiful and gave some money!" ”

"Look at you pitiful, if it weren't for your frequent hints, would you be willing to send you money?" Gao Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Brother Qianli's words are wrong, since he is here to comfort me, it's always bad to come empty-handed, and it's not good for their reputation to spread it, and it will damage their reputation!" Li Zhen said righteously and strictly, and interpreted the word "shameless" with his own practical actions.

Whether it is Zheng Zhen or Gao Biao, if it is put in the past, it will never be done, even if Li Zhen does it today, the two of them feel quite inappropriate in their hearts.

It's just that they know that money is particularly important to Li Zhen now, not to mention the military salary of the three thousand iron cavalry, just settling his family is a huge expense, not to mention that some daily rewards are always more generous than other generals.

The reason why soldiers become soldiers is not for the so-called family and country hatred and national righteousness, but more for survival, to exempt their families from a levy tax, to earn some money for their wives and children, and to seek an unattainable future for themselves, nothing more.

If they want to give up their family reunion and stay in a foreign land, they must be given more things, including money and a future.

The future, Li Zhen can't give them for the time being, and he can't promise anything, so Li Zhen can only buy their hearts with a lot of money, but at the same time, Li Zhen also knows that buying people's hearts with money alone is always fragile, and once someone can give them more one day, they will not hesitate to leave themselves.

There is only a future, a bright and bright future that can undoubtedly make anyone lose the ability to resist, and it is also the most permanent and secure.

The four of them were relatively speechless, and after a while, Zheng Zheng seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked: "It's been almost half a month since you came back, when do you plan to go to Wang Yuankui and Liu Yue to officially ask for this thousand fine horses?" After all, these people's military registrations are still in their hands, and if they don't let go, I'm afraid we will have to let them go back sooner or later! ”
