Chapter 139: Slaves

Thank you for the reward of the soul Mi Lian, Linglong Shuhua, six eights, and the male god of Mars, thank you.

Zhangqiu.

The county barracks and township regiments in each county have returned one after another, and Zhang Xutuo only left a few county barracks directly under the county seat to sweep the tail in the mountains.

His own military tent was also withdrawn to Zhangqiu County in Shannan, and Luo Cheng returned with his Zhangqiu County barracks and auxiliary barracks composed of several township regiments.

Zhang Yichen personally led the people of the whole city to 20 miles outside the city to greet him, and this time the suppression of bandits can be regarded as the prestige of the county soldiers and township regiments. Especially for the people of Zhangqiu, Luo Cheng became famous in one battle. Duan Yancheng and other powerful landlords and wealthy families also had to come to reward and greet them this time.

The scene was very lively, holding sheep and picking wine, so happy.

On the same day, the county barracks and township regiments were directly stationed outside the county seat, killing pigs and sheep, and giving wine and grain.

Compared with the soldiers from the county town, the county soldiers and villagers in Zhangqiu were even more happy, because as soon as they arrived in Zhangqiu, Luo Cheng asked Wang Ziming to fulfill his previous promise.

Truckloads of copper coins, silk cloth, and grain were pulled from the county warehouse to the barracks.

Each county soldier and township battalion with a receipt can come and redeem the reward they had previously been in the army.

This time, the Zhangqiu vanguard won a lot of victories with Luo Cheng, and these eighty percent were turned into rewards for the brothers, and all the spoils seized at that time were valued, and then the rewards were distributed to the brothers, and then recorded in the camp and stored in the camp. Wang Ziming then contacted Shang Jia, sold the loot, and got the money and grain and kept them in the Zhangqiu warehouse.

While the county soldiers from Licheng were still happy about the pigs and sheep sent by the powerful families in Zhangqiu, the county soldiers and villagers in Zhangqiu were already queuing up to redeem the reward.

There are dozens of rewards, such as Zhao Gui, the scout team who has made a pioneer in the first battle, his reward is as much as fifty-eight, and he holds a handful of strips in his hand and ranks first to receive the reward.

Next to Wang Ziming, Luo Cheng's eldest brother-in-law Zhou Dewei was responsible for chanting the merits and the amount of rewards, checking them one by one.

Every time he read a piece, Wang Ziming made a stroke, and then Zhao Gui answered loudly below.

The sum of the strokes ended up to be 58,000 dollars.

"A total of 58,000 yuan, Zhao Gui, have you cashed all these deposit slips? Is it to cash in for copper coins and silk silk, or to have some grain cloth? ”

If you cash in the money silk, it is one silk nine, for example, if you exchange ten pieces of reward money, then you can only take the consistent reward money, and ninety horses of silk worth nine dollars. This was done because the Sui Dynasty was short of money and copper, and the government also lacked copper money, so the method of money and silk was adopted, and even merchants generally required more than ten times of silk for trading.

Some local governments even forbade ordinary people and merchants to accumulate large amounts of copper coins.

"What is the price of exchanging grain and cloth?" Zhao Gui asked.

"There are methods of exchange here, grain and cloth are all market prices, and even better quality and better price than market prices, this is what the captain ordered, my own brothers, you can't let you suffer."

Preparing food and cloth for everyone, also considering that many people still have to buy food and cloth after receiving rewards, Luo Cheng asked Wang Ziming to prepare in advance. If he negotiates a good deal with those vendors, he can get a better price, and the quality will not be bad, and the vendors will not dare to pit them.

If the villagers are allowed to take the reward money to buy things, maybe the vendors will take the opportunity to increase the price, and the quality may not be so good.

"Then I'm going to buy some food, and some cloth, do you have donkeys? I want to buy a donkey with my wife so that it is easier to travel. Zhao Gui thought that it would be convenient for his wife to return to her parents' house in the future, so he wanted to buy her a donkey.

"This one is really there, we have a lot of things here besides food and cloth, but the number is not very large. Mules, donkeys, cows, pigs, and sheep are all clearly marked, and you can exchange them with a deposit slip if you want. ”

These were deliberately left from the spoils after Wang Ziming reported to Luo Cheng.

He left behind a lot of trophies, all of which were more practical things, ranging from ploughing oxen, mules and horses, to a small embroidery needle, with a complete variety.

It's completely possible to open a grocery store.

After hearing his idea, Luo Cheng was very supportive, so he asked him to pick out some things of good quality that everyone could use, and take them out to be sold to the brothers.

This is equivalent to opening a grocery store in the camp, and the source of the goods is the spoils of war, but they have all been recorded in the accounts, and then the prices are sold exclusively to the brothers in the camp, and everyone can redeem them with the bounty deposit.

Anyway, it is all needed by everyone, and it is bought and sold directly in the camp, and the camp is free to sell to the merchants at a lower price, and the brothers buy directly without the middlemen to make the difference.

"Then I'm going to pick up the donkey." Zhao Gui said with a smile.

"Yes, I'll pick it later."

There was a long queue in front of several tables, all of them to redeem bounties.

There are more than 50 yuan for Zhao Gui, and there are few for those auxiliary soldiers, and there are hundreds of dollars.

No matter how much, you can cash it out directly.

You can also directly exchange for all kinds of materials you need, or you can cash in and then go to buy what you need, as long as you are a brother in the camp, you can buy a lot of materials of good quality at a preferential price than outside.

Luo Cheng walked around the camp and went into the city.

When Zhang Yichen saw him, his expression was a little complicated.

"Shicheng, do you know how unhappy I am about your refusal."

As soon as they met, he patted Luo Cheng on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you for the county order, it's just that I'm only sixteen, and it's still a little early to start a family."

"I know, I don't force you." Zhang Yichen said this, and his heart was somewhat unhappy. He felt that Luo Cheng was disgusted with the red line and was a righteous daughter, but he was reluctant to give his concubine to Luo Cheng.

"I heard that Jun Cheng accepted you as a disciple, congratulations." Zhang Yichen congratulated with a smile.

"It's the love of the county."

"Shicheng, you have a big face for our Zhangqiu this time."

Zhang Yichen shook off the unhappiness in his heart, took Luo Cheng's hand and walked side by side.

"I handed over all the bandits you captured this time to the county, and those who were going to be taken back to the county town to be enslaved. And the fugitives you arrested were left behind by our county. All of these people were reduced to slaves. ”

"Can't you take it lightly? These people are just poor escapees! ”

"I want to too, but these people are not just fugitives, they are involved in the rebellion case, but no one can save them. You also know that I wanted to hide it if I wanted to hide it this time, but Jun Cheng refused, so the rebellion case was decided, and these people naturally had to be punished heavily. ”

In total, more than 3,000 fugitives were arrested in Zhangqiu City, and now all of them are locked up in fugitive camps outside the city.

Their punishment has been set, and they are all reduced to slavery.

"The county plans to sell them all, and the officials can buy them at a discount, do you want to buy some, you can let the officials choose first." Zhang Yichen gave Luo Cheng another piece of good news.

Luo Cheng's heart moved.
