Chapter 83: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds (II)

"As for the two of you......" Li Zhen looked at Baba and looked at her Fang Du and the two, laughing in her heart, but she didn't want to save their face, and said in a deep voice: "I naturally agree with your wishes, and Fang Yiai stepped forward to receive the reward." ”

"Fenwei Captain Fang Zijun, brave and good at fighting, able to capture tigers, Turkic battles, thousands of miles of attack, personally capture Jieli, outstanding meritorious service, special reward silver 1000 taels, 100 taels of gold, 10 pairs of armor, a treasure knife, a pair of soft armor, a thousand miles of horses, as a reward."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Yi was happy in his love, these ten pairs of armor must not be able to wear it by himself, but he can sell it completely, anyway, there are not many other generals in Chang'an City, but there are many generals, as long as these armors can be as good as Mingguang armor, there is no worry that no one wants it.

"Pingwei Captain Du Shi Zihe, calm and calm, unparalleled in wisdom, Turkic war, sitting in the rear, strategizing, hard work, special gift of five hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, the first house, a horse of thousands of miles, as a reward."

"Your Highness." Du He wanted to be very excited, thinking that he finally had money. Li Zhenguang's rewards are all converted into money, which is almost nearly 20,000 yuan, and the money alone is enough to pay off his debts, and even leave more than half of them. As for the mansion, he was even more excited, with the house, even if Du Ruhui disagreed with him and Lan Die, he could move out and live with Lan Die, which could be regarded as relieving his worries.

In fact, the rewards received by the three of them are about the same when converted into money (Xue Rengui's may be a little higher, but after all, he is the commander of this operation, and it is understandable to get a little more), but the form of giving is different.

"All right, if you have received my reward, let us all get out of here...... By the way, if someone asks about my reward, you can't tell the truth. Li Zhen was about to drive them away, when he suddenly remembered one thing, the reward he gave them this time was not ungenerous. If these rewards are known to others, it will add trouble to Li Shimin - your son has rewarded his subordinates with 20,000 taels of silver, and you, as a father and emperor, can't give less than this, right? But if you give so many rewards to the three captains, how much should you give as the rewards of Li Jing, who is the head of the Sixth Route Army, and the respective chief and deputy head of the Six Route Army?

Since the standard of rewards for the chief and deputy chief has been raised, should the standard of rewards for the generals in the army and the meritorious people who have made meritorious achievements in the war also be raised?

The reward is so high this time, so should we follow this rule next time?

In this way, maybe the reward for the entire Datang military exploits will be increased by a whole section, and it will also add more tremendous pressure to the entire Datang finances - the early days of the Datang Dynasty were not rich, although the grain output was not bad, but it was not said that the grain was cheap and hurt the peasants. In the agriculture-oriented Datang, if the grain cannot be sold at a high price, the tax will naturally not go up, and the tax will not go up, so where will the country get the money?

"If our subordinates know, we will keep it a secret." Du He also thought of this and hurriedly agreed.

"But Your Highness, you're not just going to reward the three of us, are you?" Fang Yiai hurriedly asked, "The brothers who went out with us, as well as the brothers of the Blood Dragon Guard, what are you going to do?" ”

Xue Rengui also figured it out, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, the Blood Dragon Guard has also made a lot of efforts, it can be said that the reason why we were able to seize Jieli this time is that the credit of the Blood Dragon Guard can account for half of it, and we can't treat the meritorious people badly." ”

"The merits of the Blood Dragon Guard will be rewarded internally, so you don't care about this." Li Zhen said with a smile: "As for the people below, you don't have to worry about this, although you can't reward too much on the surface, but secretly you can compensate them through the Blood Dragon Guard, you can rest assured that I have always been stingy in rewarding meritorious people." ”

"It's that the subordinates are too careful, and I ask Your Highness to atone for your sins."

"No, it's human nature."

"By the way, Your Highness, what are you going to do with Jieli?" This stubble was revealed, and Fang Yiai asked about Jieli again: "You won't really be going to torture him, will you?" After all, he is the lord of a country, and our Datang Dynasty is based on benevolence and filial piety, if there are any scars, I am afraid that someone will hold it and talk about it. ”

Li Zhen waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to hit him directly." ”

"But speaking of which, I haven't seen Jieli since he was captured, do you want to meet him now?" Li Zhen originally wanted to dry Jieli first, but at this time she changed her mind.

"This must be fine." Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, as my prince of the Tang Dynasty, can say nothing when I meet a king of a dead country. ”

Li Zhen said decisively: "Then see you, but you can't see here." ”

Fang Yiai asked strangely, "Where is His Highness going to meet him?" ”

"You ...... like this," Li Zhen whispered, "Understood, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Fang Yiai scratched his head and said distressedly: "But please forgive me for being rude, I really can't think of anything to do with seeing Jieli." ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Li Zhen waved her hand: "You just have to do what I say." ”

"Yes." I don't know what Li Zhen is doing, but everyone still carries out his task very honestly.

"Let's go too, the timing of the preparation for Jieli is a big hole, and it's time to use it." After the three of them left, Li Zhen was also ready to go.

"Your Highness, this big pit can't be prepared to bury Jieli alive, right?" Li Ergou guessed.

"Smack!" Before Li Zhen moved, Wang Jin slapped him down: "Li Ergou, Li Ergou, when did you become so stupid?" It's just a Jieli, if His Highness wants to bury him, can he use such a big pit? How much space can he occupy? ”

"You're stupid." Li Ergou didn't admit defeat and also replied with a brain meltdown: "Jieli is also a khan, even if he is dead, there must be a few people to be buried, right?" ”

"You still don't believe you if you say you're stupid." One hand rubbed his head, and at the same time kicked Li Ergou's buttocks: "Have you ever seen a martyr buried with the owner of the tomb?" ”

"......" The two of them are fighting and arguing like this, leaving only Li Zhen and the guards messy in the wind, where is the point of your conversation?

"Leave these two fools alone, let's go first." Looking at the two people who were arguing, Li Zhen ordered very decisively.

So, the crowd got rid of the two of them very ignorantly, and escorted Li Zhen towards the big pit.

The big pit arrived soon, and with Li Zhen arrived there were five thousand elites who were temporarily transferred - after a few days of waiting, the follow-up army finally arrived, and the Tongmo army and the Tongmo army, which were closer, had already joined the Dingxiang army, and at this time the manpower in the camp was very sufficient, at least it was easy for Li Zhen to transfer a few thousand people.

It's just that with this large-scale manpower transfer, it is naturally impossible to bypass Li Jing in this general manager, but in order to find out Li Zhen's intentions, he still signed the appointment very happily.

Under the command of Li Zhen, as soon as the army was in the right position, Xue Rengui also led an army of 2,000 and escorted 20,000 prisoners to arrive.
