Of course, their reaction and performance when they got on the boat were actually better than Zhou Huai'an's imagination and expectations, at least they were not like most turtles who suddenly got rich, and when they saw good things, they got carried away and couldn't extricate themselves, and finally reined in their mood and gaffes, and returned to Zhou Huai'an's side.

However, Zhou Huai'an suspects that this is more because they are really limited in their vision and do not understand the value of most of the goods. In the end, what can surprise them or care about them is the yellow and white things on the ship.

"I don't know how you feel."

Zhou Huai'an smiled lightly.

"Seriously, I don't know what to say. 、、”

This is the candid words of Liu Liumao, the brigade commander of the horse team.

"There are too many expensive things and household goods."

"So, what should we do with these things?"

Among the "Four King Kongs" present with some residual emotions, Captain Su Wuming asked in a weak tone.

"What's the point?"

"According to the old rules, of course."

Zhou Huai'an had no time to think, since he knew that these things could not be directly used, the corresponding attraction would not be so great.

"Half of it will be handed over to the camp, and it will be better to stay and go directly to the public school."

"It's all going straight to the office."

Suddenly, his personal expression was a little complicated, with both accidents and differences, as well as undisguised pity and regret.

"Of course, you can pick two of these gold objects."

Therefore, Zhou Huai'an added again.

"What's in the warehouse is to look at.,And call someone to carry it away.。。 But it's only for one lift. ”

"When I get back, I'll call the leaders over, and by the way, I'll make a rule here first."

"Let the team take two silvers each. and he who has taken it again, and take one more. ”

"The team stationed in the team is taking a silver one above, and then the meritorious and best-performing soldiers of each team are also singled out."

"Each of them will receive a silver object as an extra compliment."

。。。。。。

"Finally, bring out the rice and other food from the bottom warehouse."

"Give it to the guy to cook on the spot, so that everyone can have a good taste of the rice and grain that has contributed to the heavenly family."

At the appropriate time, the differences in specific classes and performances should be reflected in the distribution of the spoils, so that they can become the driving force that motivates people to forge ahead and strive to climb up. As for most of the ordinary soldiers, it would be better to give them more practical money directly;

It is not a good thing for gold and silver to fall into their hands, not only is it impossible to spend it to form a normal circulation of goods, but it is also possible to raise their appetite and psychological ceiling for no reason, and give birth to all kinds of unnecessary right and wrong.

"What about you, the pipe."

Su Wuming seemed to remember something, and then said

"Why don't you keep some more?"

Others, including Liu Liumao, couldn't help but show some kind of expression that should be so

"Of course I'll take something that can be used. One lift only"

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but smile and laughed. He is more knowledgeable about the goods, and he moves away the value, and naturally the jade is not the same as others.

"That's all, more goods don't mean anything to me."

"Besides, rules are rules. Now that it's been decided, it's been made clear to everyone. ”

"We shouldn't take the lead in disobeying it. Otherwise, what can you expect others to do what is forbidden? ”

"If that's the case, I don't want it."

But it was the right brigade commander who took a big bite, and Zhengse took the initiative to speak.

"After all, I made a mistake before the battle, and I don't have the face to take it."

"Naturally, I can't ask for this, it's all good to go to the public."

Then there is Lao Guan's relieved interface

"Then I have to."

"I..."

The remaining Su Wuming and Liu Liumao also hurriedly spoke.

"It's not going to work."

Zhou Huai'an hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt them.

"If I don't want it personally, it doesn't mean that you should follow me."

"This is the most basic reward, if you don't take the lead."

"Can you still expect the soldiers below to be rewarded in a proper manner?"

"The military law before the battle has been disposed of by the military law, and it has nothing to do with the reward afterwards"

Seeing that Lao Guan seemed to have something to say, he was stopped by Zhou Huai'an

"Reward and punishment must be clear, this is the original rule. You can't just break it. ”

"Hurry up and take it, even if it's the head, I insist on this rhetoric.."

"Okay, let's just go along with the pipe."

Su Wuming couldn't wait to pick up a huge horseshoe gold, stuffed it into Lao Guan's arms without regret, and took another heavy ruler gold, and handed it to Cheng Da Bite's arms; Only then did he hesitate to consider it and pick a large golden flower with more than ten petals; As for Liu Liumao, who was the last to start, he chose a golden arm Chuan, on the grounds that it was more convenient to carry in this way, but Zhou Huaian didn't know how to complain

After the wind was posted, the atmosphere became more harmonious for a while; And looking at the complex expressions of everyone's awe, mixed with a certain joyful atmosphere that he didn't know how to express, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but snicker slightly in his heart, the minds of the ancients were easier to impress and fool.

Of course, he will not admit that because of the existence of these guys, he can't openly go up and down to ruin his hard-won image and reputation; But after looking back, if you want to talk about the means of drifting and embezzling from the materials of the public middle school in the name of justification, who can compare with yourself who is close to the water and has a lot of experience in later generations.

Therefore, you can be generous and open-minded to others, but you might as well put your posture and style a little higher on yourself, so as to create more convenience and foreshadowing for your future actions and preparations.

Although the gold and silver goods on the ship, which were too valuable, could not be used for the time being, the various copper coins and cloths in the half of the room copied in the customs house of the port city were all looted and accumulated for a long time, and the taxes and wealth that had not had time to be transferred away; So Zhou Huai'an announced a decision to give these soldiers under his command a month's salary and a head reward accumulated in these battles, as well as subsidies for the wounded and pensions for the dead, and thus justifiably formed a new set of regulations and standards.

Although most of the soldiers only got a symbolic dozen bronze coins in their hands, it was quite significant to this team; In the past, although there were occasional examples of salaries and rewards for the rebels before this, there was actually no fixed period and specific time; And it's mainly based on physical objects such as cloth, rice, grain, salt and sauce, and basically what you have.

In a certain sense, the combination of having a daily stable military salary and a wartime reward is the inevitable process that an army will go through in terms of regularization, institutionalization, and normalization. Subsidies for the wounded and pensions for the dead are also an indispensable part of ensuring relatively stable morale and cohesion.

However, the specific distribution process is also exquisite, not directly handing over the money to the leaders of each team, and letting them distribute it layer by layer; That will only quickly give rise to a group of parasitic and privileged strata who specialize in drinking the blood of soldiers and deducting military salaries for profit, and will have a certain counter-effect on morale and people's hearts.

Therefore, in the back camp, the rationing of all kinds of daily materials is docked according to the heads on the roster, and there is really no flower head for people to start, which is the issuance of military salaries and rewards, and it will not be an exception; And Zhou Huai'an even had some malicious fun to engage in a rather atmospheric on-site ceremony, lining up seven or eight rows of desktops and money baskets as collection points; Supervise the whole process on the spot, and then let each team line up in order, and take turns to collect it in front of him according to the name and specific amount read, so as to eliminate the opportunity of being handed over;

Even the dead and wounded are no exception, and the amount read will be sent to the lifeguard team, or handed over to the corresponding villagers or friends on the spot; With so many witnesses and potential post-mortem surveillance, anyone who wants to do some tricks and tricks can easily become the opposite of everyone and the object of spurning and attacking.

Then because of Zhou Huai'an's additional requirements or personal tastes, everyone had to swear to the sky before receiving the money, shouting "Heaven makes up for the average, and the troubled times are peaceful." After receiving the money, he shouted to the crowd the words "Thanks to the rebels, to the officials, to the brothers" to deepen the impression and stir up the atmosphere. And those soldiers who perform better than others, or have outstanding merits and receive additional rewards, will also be temporarily found on the spot to play the drum board, blow and sing to warm the atmosphere.

It's just like the practice of Yuan Datou in later generations, but it's not as explicit as "eating water and rice, being someone's soldier". After all, this is always just a temporary transition and springboard for him. As a result, this process with a strong sense of ritual and community has also won the gratitude and envy of many people.

With these old and new copper coins issued, the volunteer soldiers also had their own moods and thoughts.

The reaction of the old soldier or the regular pawn who has already received the money on two or three times is the simplest, and they will think about how to spend the money on the various goods and services that a few baggage brigades can provide, and turn it into daily necessities other than the equipment and rations that have been repaired and strengthened, or get something they like at the flea market where they exchange their booty.

If there was anything left, they would get together to eat and drink, and then go to the makeshift location to find a woman to take turns putting out the fire; Because Fengling Port is a port city that exports to the outside world, there are still a number of prostitutes and female servants who specialize in providing skin and meat business for all kinds of people; Most of them are poor country women who can't get by, although they are a little darker and their skin is very rough, but these soldiers who are also from a hard background or old bachelors will not dislike anything.

In this way, through organizational guidance, the impulse of most people to resist the lower half of their bodies was stifled and the signs of running to the place of harm and ruining military discipline and reputation. Some of the veterans who have developed the concept of savings have even been re-hung on the accounts of the Houying Public School by the remaining money tails, and used as a voucher for priority withdrawals in the future; This is also the internal economic cycle and benign circulation that Zhou Huai'an wants to encourage.

And among those new strokes, the reversal and linkage are even more intense, some cry on the spot, some cry on the spot, some cry on the spot, and some yell happily without knowing what to say, or still lose their temper and cry when they return to the queue.

For example, for Shi Niu, who has only been in the company for half a month, even if it is the only one in his hand that is a big sum of ten yuan, it is something that is unusual to see in ordinary dealers; Even if it is his master, he has to work tirelessly to catch up with many days of work before he can earn one back, and he still carefully hides it for more than half a year, so he is willing to spend some of it in the New Year. And if there was such money to cope with the errand above, then why did the eldest sister next door have to work for the officers and soldiers as a widow.

The five-headed Wang Jian standing beside him was also silently shedding tears and shaking his shoulders; Because he remembered his sister who was sold because he couldn't get the money from the big stall, and his sister who starved to death under the stove and stuffed her mouth with dirt; and the parents who slowly can't wake up in bed in order to save him a mouthful of food between his teeth; If they had this money, wouldn't they be able to reunite as a family and continue to live that hard and steady life.

As for Huo Changlu Drifting, who is reminiscing about the past, if he had already had these fifty or so dollars, why would he watch the woman he liked be married to a bad old man with a bad temper and be small, and then he was beaten and tortured so that he fell ill and died within a few years;

In the end, he was swept up by the reed mat and thrown on the mass grave, and he had to rely on him to dig a pit again at night and bury another one, so as not to become a ration picked up by wild dogs; The scrawny corpse was almost poignantly felt by the fans.

If it weren't for this blow and depression, how many people would be willing to live on the streets, relying on their sister's help to be hungry and full, and to be looked at and spoken of badly.

Therefore, compared with the temptation to spend all the money in their hands immediately, they almost all had the same idea, wanting to listen to the lecture held by the head of the pipe at night, and listen to the stories and allusions that sounded very reasonable, but they always felt that the meaning was still like a cat tickling, and the subsequent causes and effects.

Until the end, even the direct team that maintained order received their own special money bag with a smile in Zhou Huai'an's hand, most of them disbanded with the password, and after they went to their respective places, more than a dozen cowering figures were also brought over,
