After everything was done, the exhausted Gu Haotian took a nap beautifully, and then lay on the bed and quietly sorted out the next step.

Rewards are the first thing he considers, and reasonable rewards and punishments can boost morale and boost the morale of the army. He decided to give Zhu Gui, the Ruan brothers, Du Qian, and Song Wan one hundred taels each; Bian Xiang and Ma Qiang and Ma Xun each fifty taels; Among the guards, each person who took the initiative to kill the enemy during the operation was based on ten taels, and one more person was killed to increase by one tael; those who did not take the initiative to kill the enemy were five taels per person; The sailors of the flotilla were given two taels each. In this way, it is almost more than a thousand taels, which is equivalent to a quarter of the silver seized in the treasury. With the rest of the money, he had to do more, and he immediately faced the problem of expanding the recruitment of sailors.

He decided to let Du Qian and Song Wan take the thirty-three captured bandits and the five hostages in the cell to stay here, and the three squads of the escort team took turns to station, while carrying out survival, incubation and other training, while transforming and training the prisoners. At the same time, Du Qian and Song Wan were asked to recruit the simple mountain people around them to lay the foundation for the future Liangshan cause.

The rest is that the grain transportation is a bit troublesome, and the grain of more than 3,000 stones and more than 30,000 catties is transported down the mountain and then transported to Gujiazhuang, and the goal is too big, and it seems that it can only be reduced to zero. He plans to use most of it for sake brewing to increase added value.

In the evening of the same day, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the heat disappeared. Fifty guards lined up neatly on the square under the leadership of the three captains, and Zhu Gui and others also stood in a row on the side, although Ruan Xiaoqi had already joined the escort team, but because the training was not synchronized, he also stood with Zhu Gui and several others.

Gu Haotian stood on the steps of the hall, looking at the team in front of him that was beginning to show murderous aura, as well as the good men and talents around him who had changed the trajectory of their fate, and a sense of pride arose in his heart.

"Guys, after more than five months of training, we got a real test yesterday and today, most of you have passed the test, some of you are very good. Some people may feel cruel about what they have experienced in the past two days, but you must know that the two armies are fighting each other to the death, without mercy, and if you don't learn your skills well, their today may be your tomorrow. In the future, we will usher in more challenges and difficulties, if we want to take our destiny into our own hands, then we must face everything bravely, move forward, and never back down. ”

"Go forward and never back down!" Under Bian Xiang's lead, more than 50 people roared out in unison. For a while, the roar of the small square shook the sky, and the forest birds were shocked, and Zhu Gui and others were also infected by it, and they only felt their blood boiling.

After a long time, everyone gradually calmed down, and Gu Haotian asked people to carry a large basket of silver taels, and announced the reward rules in everyone's eager eyes. Then the first winner was announced.

"Lei Heng, thirteen taels."

"Wow!" There was an exclamation in the square, and Lei Heng ran to Gu Haotian to beat his chest and salute, as the first person to receive the award, the pride in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Gu Bo, twelve taels." The square was filled with exclamations again. Gu Bo pretended to be the clever guy of the caravan this time, attacking the mountain and assassinating the two, looking at the sturdy guy in front of him, Gu Haotian was already difficult to find the shadow of the big boy who fainted in the military posture at the beginning.

……

The award ceremony lasted for a whole hour, and in the evening, a small banquet was held using the existing ingredients of the cottage, and the joyful atmosphere of the entire escort team reached a climax.

At night, Gu Haotian was about to rest, but saw Ruan Xiaoqi walk in and put the burden in his hand on the table.

"Am I a member of the Guard?" He was clearly a little angry.

"Who's to say it's not." Gu Haotian thought he had heard some gossip.

"Then why did Bian Xiang and the three of them only receive fifty taels of silver, but I received one hundred taels." Xiao Qi said a word.

"For this,......" He breathed a sigh of relief, but found that he really couldn't find a reason, not long after Ruan Xiaoqi joined the escort team, Gu Haotian just subconsciously put him and Ruan Xiaowu in the same range. Now that I think about it, it's wrong to think about it myself, and it's really a bit of a thing to think about him as a guest.

"It's really inappropriate for me to think about this matter, so I'm here to accompany you." He simply confessed.

This made Ruan Xiaoqi embarrassed, he was a tough guy and told him to charge into battle, but he could only scratch his head when dealing with the warm offensive. Gu Haotian looked funny, so he changed the topic and said a new idea.

"I asked your two brothers a while ago to recruit a group of young people who know water, you know this." He looked at Ruan Xiaoqi, "I heard from the second brother that about one or twenty people have been recruited, and this time they have also helped." In the future, Gujiazhuang and Heisongling will have long-term contact, and sailors will be very important. In the near future, it must be expanded to a scale of about 50 people as soon as possible, I think, the land training will be in Gujiazhuang, and the water training will be in Shijie Village, and this team will be led by the little seven brothers, I don't know if I am willing to take on this important task. ”

"These boys have a foundation in water, that is, they have a wild temperament, and they must be trained by the good students in the escort team, and besides, I don't know much about queues, so I have to learn again." Not long after Ruan Xiaoqi joined the team, he hadn't mastered the series of training, and let him train others had no bottom in his heart, so he made a request.

"It's okay, it's just that when the time comes, it will inevitably have to make the two brothers Xiao Er and Xiao Wu hard."

"I'm on my side." Ruan Xiaoqi said that he didn't look at the silver, he just felt extremely relaxed, turned around and ran away.

The next morning, Gu Haotian ran a few laps around the cottage with the escort team, took a cold shower, and felt relaxed. After breakfast, a member of the team came to report that the scholar had woken up and wanted to see him. Fang remembered what happened last night, so he went with it. The scholar's physique is not bad, and after a day and a night of recuperation, he has become conscious. Seeing Gu Haotian coming in, struggling to get up and say thank you, Gu Haotian stepped forward and held it down, "Mr. doesn't need to be polite, his body will be well raised." ”

"Thanks to the rescue of the petty officials, otherwise the little one would be a pile of bones in a few days."

"Why did the gentleman fall into such a situation?"

"Alas, it's hard to put into words," Shuchang sighed, "Xiaosheng was originally from Jeju, and he traveled to Mount Tai at the request of a friend ten years ago, and he thought that he had some strength without much fear, and he didn't want to be invincible with two fists. "Said pathos.

"Now that Mr. Xiao has been freed from difficulties, he can recuperate with peace of mind, if he is told, it doesn't hurt to speak." Gu Haotian comforted him for a while and then turned around.

And after returning to the room, I wanted to summon someone to discuss going home, but I always felt that I was worried about something, so I sat down and thought about it carefully, and then two words suddenly popped out of my mind "Xiao Rang", it was the holy hand scholar, he immediately understood where the concern was, and immediately turned back to the ward.

"Sir forgive me, think carefully on the road, but it is not appropriate to leave Mr. here, the current heat is hot, and there is a shortage of medicine in the mountains, in case there is a mistake, I am afraid that Mr. will be harmed." Gu Haotian observed for a while, and saw that he was also worried, so he continued, "I am going back to my hometown in Yuncheng at sunset, why don't I go with my husband, ask the doctor to take care of my body, and then reason after recovery." ”

"The petty officials are incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, so the little ones are bothered by shame." Xiao Rang agreed, and Gu Haotian saw that the matter had been done, and he was secretly happy.

When he returned to his room, he summoned the people to take counsel. First, Ruan Xiaowu and Zhu Gui led people to escort the captives to send some grain down the mountain to load the ship, and told Ruan Xiaoer to prepare to set off in the evening. Ordered Du Qian and Song Wan to stay in the cottage, and ordered Ma Qiang to lead the second team to stay behind to train and reform the prisoners, and thought that the initial transformation task would be heavier, and asked Ma Xun to inform Lei Heng and Gu Bo to leave the temporary deputy captain of the second squad to assist Ma Qiang.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed and went their own way. Gu Haotian specially left Du Qian and Song Wan. The two knew that the petty officials had important things to explain, and they were very focused.

"I have been thinking carefully for a long time this time, one is that the two brothers do things for the convenience of the locals, and the other is old and stable enough to hold down this group of captives. This place will be another foundation of my ancient family for a period of time, comparable to the weight of the ancient family village, the two of them have great responsibilities, and they must be cautious in case of trouble. Gu Haotian specially put the responsibility very seriously.

"There are two things that must be done well in the near future, one is to cooperate with the escort team to train this group of prisoners well, focusing on making them turn their hearts to the Gu family. Secondly, by the end of the year, we must recruit about 100 people, and these personnel must be simple men with clean nets, who will be of great use in the future. ”

"I will live up to the trust of petty officials." The two felt pressure, but they were grateful for the trust of the petty officials.

"I am relieved that the two brothers are here, and if necessary, I will send someone to inform them in time." The two of them took their leave and went out to arrange related matters.

Unconsciously approaching the West Mountain, Gu Haotian led a group of people to go down the mountain with most of the silver coins and jewelry, and stayed by the river, where Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu and Zhu Gui followed. The boats were escorted separately and dispersed, and quietly departed.

It was about an hour, but I felt that the twilight was four, and the water surface was getting wider.

"Petty officials, petty officials." Ruan Xiaowu came out of the canopy with a bowl of hot fish soup. "I don't have any skills, you can try it."

"Fifth brother bothered." Gu Haotian took it and tasted it, although it was boiled in clear water, it was indeed delicious.

"Fifth brother has had a good time in the past two days?"

"I have been born for more than 20 years, and I am the happiest with the petty officials only in these two days." The Ruan brothers had longed for the days when they shared their money and ate meat, and their actions in the past two days really followed their temperament.

"This world is not peaceful, we can try our best to get rid of a wicked person like Black Pine Ridge, but we can't become a wicked person like Black Pine Ridge, let others cut it, the fifth brother thinks it's right." Gu Haotian already regarded the Ruan family brothers as his own, but their brothers were too wild, and his slowly grinded away before they dared to use it.

Gu Haotian seemed to have a tongue twister, Xiao Wu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, so he went to the boat to ask Xiao Er for advice.

The sound of oars, the singing of frogs and the leaping of fish, the water of the summer night is extremely quiet, Gu Haotian lies on the bow of the boat, his eyes are full of stars, accompanied by the shadow of reeds on the shore, and the thoughts of a thirty-eight-year-old are indulged wantonly in the body of an eleven-year-old.
