Chapter 181: Distribution of Benefits: 9/20
In this negotiation with Xiong Tuo and Huang Arsenic, Zhao Hongrun received a total of "1.4 million" indemnity from Chu State and "350,000" indemnity from Xiong Tuo, Jun of Xuancheng, plus his property collected from Runan, Zhengyang, Peng, Lu and other big clans, it can be said that he has made a lot of money.
To be precise, in fact, he should have gotten more than this, after all, Gu Liangwei, Wu Majiao, Wu Ji, Zuo Xunxi, Hua Yu, Gongye Sheng, Zuo Qiumu and other generals of the Pingxuan Army could not let go of those rich clans in the city after conquering Pingyu, Chenxian, Xiangcheng, Queshan, Xincai and other places.
After all, the order that Zhao Hongrun gave them at that time was: Ordinary Chu people must not be violated, and other clans, let's do it.
I believe that those generals of the Pingxuan Army who were born as civilians in the Chu State must be able to understand the meaning of the three words "watch and do" very well.
However, this wealth, Zhao Hongrun does not plan to move, he is ready to use this money to envelop the Pingxuan army under his command, after all, if you want the horse to run fast, you must feed the forage. The same is true for the soldiers of the Pingxuan Army, only if they deeply understand that there is a more promising future and "money" path under his command of Zhao Hongrun, these Chu people will follow him with all their hearts.
Isn't that what loyalty is all about?
Looking at the whole world, how many people can swear to follow for the sake of friendship? More people still inevitably value profits.
And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun is very open, he will not be like those nobles and clans of Chu State, tightly hold on to the wealth in his hands, eat meat and drink soup by himself, and ask his soldiers to eat bran rice, how loyal can such an army be?
No, after Zhao Hongrun told Qu Cheng and Yan Mo of his decision, these two generals were very excited, after all, they had collected the wealth of those five or six cities. It is also a huge amount of money, and it is rare that Zhao Hongrun is not ready to handle this huge amount of money, and the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion also gave up, and all of them were given the Pinghui Army, what a preferential treatment.
Although this arrangement made the "350,000" in Zhao Hongrun's hands no longer have the share of the Ping Xuan Army. But Qu Cheng, Yan Mo and the others were already very satisfied, after all, it was estimated that what they could get from the Pingxuan Army, even if it was not as good as Zhao Hongrun, it would not be too bad.
As for the two huge sums of money in Zhao Hongrun's hands, the "1.4 million" cannot be moved, after all, they are the war indemnities paid by the Chu State to the Wei State, and they must be handed over to the imperial court, and it is not Zhao Hongrun's turn to distribute them. It is not ruled out that Wei Tianzi will take out a part of it and reward it to his son Zhao Hongrun and other meritorious generals after receiving the good news, but before Wei Tianzi speaks. Even Zhao Hongrun and Bailiba are not qualified to interfere.
But the ransom of the '350,000 yuan' from Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, has a different meaning, and Zhao Hongrun can hide it in private.
There are also wealth from Runan, Zhengyang, Peng, Lu and other big clans, and there is also a "two million and eight million" appearance when it is full, this money, Zhao Hongrun can also hide it, but not completely. How much has to be handed over to the household department, after all, this money is also included in the compensation given by Huang Arsenic. Therefore, the price he gave was not too high.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun must take part of it and hand it over to the household department, otherwise, if he takes it more than the household department of the imperial court, it is easy to be disliked.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to erase the odds. Put together the "two million" and the "1.4 million" of the Chu indemnity, and report the "three million and 400,000" to the household department of the imperial court.
The remaining "800,000" and the "350,000", Zhao Hongrun plans to separate them from the Junshui Battalion.
Of course, eating alone can be annoying, hence. Zhao Hongrun decided to divide the "1.15 million" into four:
First of all, he gave Sima An of the Dangshan camp "250,000 yuan" as a generous gift to thank him for sending troops to assist him in ambushing Chu Jiangzi Cheyu, and believed that the pearls, jade, lacquerware, and bronze worth "250,000" taels of silver could be worth several times after they were sold in the Wei State, and they could supplement the military expenses of the Dangshan camp for two or three years, or even longer.
I believe that in this way, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Battalion who was very small-minded in Baili Bakou, would no longer have any objections because Zhao Hongrun ordered him at the beginning.
In the second transaction, Zhao Hongrun planned to give Xu Yin of Fen Chengsai, "200,000", after all, this general not only sent troops to help, but also captured Xiong Qi, the king of Miyang. Although '200,000' is difficult to match Xu Yin's exploits, I believe that this general will also attack the local rich clans after conquering Miyang, so if you count the 200,000, that General Xu Yin will never earn less.
As for the remaining "700,000", Zhao Hongrun decided to give "450,000" to the Junshui camp and "150,000" to the Yanling army.
It's not that he favors one over the other, you must know that since the first battle of Yanshui, the Junshui battalion has always been the main force to resist the Chu army, and the Yanling army can only retreat to the second line as a logistics, so Zhao Hongrun naturally wants to treat this elite division who supported him all the way from Wei to Chu.
As for the final "100,000", Zhao Hongrun took it himself with peace of mind.
Don't look at this "100,000" is only a small portion, but when it is really estimated, its value is at least worth three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, how much was Zhao Hongrun's original prince's monthly salary? It's less than five hundred taels a month, and even if you go out of the cabinet in the future, the monthly salary is only one thousand taels.
A thousand taels a month, a year is 12,000, 340,000 taels, equivalent to his 30 years of monthly salary, what is not satisfied?
A few days later, the generals under Zhao Hongrun's command heard the news one after another.
This kind of distribution of benefits like sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, of course, cannot come directly from Zhao Hongrun's mouth, because it is easy to be impeached by the Yushitai in the future, so the army uses the general to tell his subordinates, and the subordinates then reveal it to the generals under him, and in this way, the news is spread in private.
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun is so "selfless" assigned, and his generals are very satisfied, and they also have some admiration for this Su King.
Especially the generals of the Pingxuan Army, because if this incident happened in their Chu State, it was believed that the nobles in charge of the position would take at least half of their belongings, and in comparison, Zhao Hongrun could be described as selfless.
Since ancient times, how many coalition forces have been resentful of each other because of the uneven distribution of interests after the war, although Zhao Hongrun's 80,000 people are called the Wei army, but after all, there is also a distinction between the Junshui army, the Yanling army and the Pingxuan army, only when everyone tastes the sweetness, no one will have resentment.
It seems that the distribution is just right.
Even Zhao Hongrun himself was very satisfied with the '100,000' he received.
To be precise, it should be three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, and with half of the money, it is more than enough to build a magnificent "Su Wangfu" in the girder, and the remaining half of the silver is kept and squandered slowly.
Although this money is only a little bit in the eyes of those powerful people in Wei State, for Zhao Hongrun, who has been "poor" since childhood, it is enough to support him and Shen Yu and other ten sect guards to enjoy themselves for a while.
First thing, Zhao Hongrun decided to buy a horse.
I believe that with his relationship with the Junshui Army, it will not be a problem at all to get a few war horses and some hand crossbows.
Zhao Hongrun thought about arming the guards and going hunting near Daliang.
In the past, he was always unable to gallop on a war horse to hunt like his brothers because of his young age, but this time he returned to Daliang to see who dared to say anything.
This day of freedom is coming!
When he woke up in the morning, Zhao Hongrun thought of the days when he would be at ease in the future and no longer forced by money, and his heart was happy.
And his guards are also smiling.
Just kidding, they are all people on the boat of "King Su", now that Zhao Hongrun is rich, will they still be poor?
Don't you have to drink whatever you want?
And Zhang Biao and other Zong Wei were also happy in their hearts.
Although they are Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Hongxuan's Zongwei, Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan are close brothers, if the elder brother is rich, will he treat his younger brother badly? Will you treat the guards around your brother badly?
So, everybody was satisfied.
"Little guys, let's go, let's go visit this Zhengyang County."
Leaving aside those Zongwei who were still holding positions in the Junshui camp, Zhao Hongrun took Shen Yu, Zhang Biao, Li Meng, Chu Heng and other four Zongwei to prepare to visit Zhengyang County with great interest.
After all, since conquering Zhengyang County, Zhao Hongrun was not in the mood to visit the city in the past, but now that he has negotiated a peace agreement with Xiong Tuo, Huang Arsenic and others, he is in a very good mood, so he naturally can't stay idle in the house.
Of course, when he went out this time, Zhao Hongrun inevitably followed the little follower of the sheep's tongue apricot.
When he walked to the door of the mansion, Zhao Hongrun happened to see Yan Mo walking towards the house, and after asking, he knew that Yan Mo was idle, so he came to Shen Yu and them to drink.
Zhao Hongrun's heart moved, because he happened to lack a guide.
"Visiting the city?" Hearing what Zhao Hongrun said, Yan Mo scratched his head, after all, this Zhengyang County actually has nothing worth watching, except for the small towns of big clans outside the city.
However, since His Royal Highness King Su had this interest, Yan Mo naturally would not shirk it, and gladly accepted the task of the guide.
In his opinion, the king of Wei was not as hostile to the Chu people as some Wei people, so if he introduced him to some positive Chu people's humanities and customs, it might be conducive to promoting peace between Wei and Chu.
In the final analysis, Yan Mo didn't want Chu and Wei to keep fighting for years, after all, one was his former home country, and the other was the country where he was about to go to live for a long time, and even take root there for the rest of his life.
Although it was unrealistic, Yan Mo still hoped that Chu and Wei could maintain peace and stability for a long time.
Therefore, on the way, Yan Mo vigorously introduced to Zhao Hongrun the positive aspects of the humanistic customs of the Chu State, such as the carving technology of the Chu State, the ghosts and gods worshiped by the Chu people, and so on.
Suddenly, Yan Mo's eloquent voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the two short and suspected women who came towards him in surprise.
I saw the two women, dressed in cloth clothes with bare white sleeves, with cloth belts painted with strange red patterns tied on their foreheads, and their eyes were indifferent.
"Wu? How could this Zhengyang County come to the witch?"
Yan Mo frowned, a little confusion in his eyes.
You must know that whether it is Ba Wu or Chu Wu, they are all strangers with the same status as nobles in Ba and Chu, although Zhengyang County is not a small county, but Yan Mo still can't figure out why there is a witch here. (To be continued.) )
