Since returning to Ninghai Prefecture, Wang Zheng has not been idle, and Li Yan immediately handed over the Juntian exemption policy that had been prepared earlier.

Wang Zheng has long had this heart, after all, the people in the world are suffering, and there are many people under his rule, since they are under his own control, they can't let them live hard.

After reading Li Yan's Juntian exemption policy, Wang Zheng was still very satisfied, but there was one thing Wang Zheng did not rely on Li Yan, and in the policy, Li Yan preliminarily set the exemption for five years.

Five years, this time is too long, Li Yan doesn't know the situation of Wang Zheng's funds, and he makes a decision in the best way for the people, but Wang Zheng has to think more, and five years of exemption is not the best at present.

After thinking about it, Wang Zheng changed the exemption period to three years, and Li Yan didn't say much, compared to other generals, this is already a rare tolerance and generosity.

The fields in Jiaodong are twice a year, and the people have always been industrious, and three years is enough.

In the history without Wang Zheng, Li Zicheng only accepted Li Yan's suggestions in their entirety, and did not have his own ideas and proposals at all.

Now Ninghai salt has made a name for itself in Shandong, and a small part of the Central Plains provinces have also passed in the past, and some places are called Chengning salt, and there are more and more large households in various places.

Shandong's large and small salt barons rushed to get salt goods, and with the circulation of trade routes, they earned more than ten times as much silver as before.

But after coming back, Wang Zheng had to go up and down, whether it was all over Shandong, or the relevant departments and offices in the north and south, it would cost more or less a sum of money.

The ordnance and equipment of the Wendeng battalion are also being made, and Wang Zheng's subordinates are all fully paid, the soldiers of the Wendeng battalion are paid twice the silver, the inspection department is paid 50% of the silver, and even the auxiliary soldiers have to have 30% of the salary, which is paid in full every month.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, even if it's an auxiliary soldier under Wang Zheng who doesn't go into battle at all, the salary and silver that Yueyue gets from other places are also envious.

Therefore, the silver earned is not hot in the hand at all, it is all spent like flowing water, although there is still a surplus every month, but Wang Zheng naturally wants to keep some silver for turnover, it is impossible to spend it all.

Although Wang Zheng didn't want to mention more about the merits, the thoughts of his subordinates naturally had to be considered, and they were about to approach the end of the year, and they had achieved such a big victory, and they were full of joy everywhere, and they couldn't let them always keep a straight face.

Therefore, at various banquets, Wang Zheng tried to leave halfway, handed over the time to the people below, and secretly instructed the people in the house to let them make trouble when he left.

However, this year's banquet at Wendeng Camp is slightly different from previous years, but it is because there are two more people.

One is naturally Li Yan and Li Gongzi, who are strategizing, and the Juntian policy he mentioned to the general, the big guy admires it tightly in his heart, and he also toasts again and again at the banquet.

Li Yan is different from those weak scholars who are powerless, just like Song Zhengyu, one of the four great talents in the clouds, who is also a well-known talent in Jiangnan Shilin.

It was a belly full of economy with a folding fan, proud, boastful, and shaking his head, but he was refuted by Wang Zheng, who was still a small garrison at the time, and now it has already become a joke for the military and civilians in Shandong after dinner.

Compared with other Shilin disciples, Dong Youyin and the others have never seen Li Yan take any folding fan, walking in the general's mansion to prepare for big and small affairs, often wearing green shirts and swords, and walking in a hurry.

And when he speaks, he is not literary, but gives people a kind of martial arts-like heroism, which sounds very comfortable.

So now everyone toasts not to be embarrassed, but to reveal their true feelings, and really treat Li Yan as their own brother.

Li Yan is also a temperamental, haha smiled, and all those who did not refuse did it.

For these Jiaodong men with true temperament under Wang Zheng, Li Yan did not have the disgust of other court generals, and he had already integrated into it within a few months of coming, and he got along quite happily with Dong Youyin and several thousand generals.

In addition to Li Yan, there is also a woman sitting on this table, that is, the red lady who came to Ninghai together.

The red lady was still dressed in red clothes, drinking a big bowl of wine, but Dong Youyin, who was sitting on the opposite side, was stunned.

He couldn't help but admire, the people brought back by our general are really not simple, all of them are strange people, I'm afraid that the amount of alcohol he drinks can't even compare to Liangzi, is this still a woman.

The red lady has no hatred for Wang Zheng now, what does she feel, she actually can't say, this kind of ignorance has never been before.

came to Ninghai with a sense of anger, and the things she experienced made her more and more unable to understand Wang Zheng, and she couldn't hate it at all.

He is in a high position but never enjoys happiness, there is only one wife around him, and even there are only a few maids in the house, although he earns a lot of silver, but he has passed it through his hands, except for the one that has been sent down, the rest are saved and retained, and he never buys a house for himself.

Even this time, the great contribution of the total annihilation of the 800 Qing Army is still not arrogant, and he doesn't even mention this matter on weekdays, which is really incomprehensible.

But then again, the red lady is also a rare blessing for a period of time, and she really likes this place.

In the past, in Henan, she was a thief who had to be arrested everywhere, her life was in danger at all times, and she was forced by officials everywhere, and she hated to save all the people.

The people here are peaceful, and the local affairs are handled better than the government, and there is no injustice to be managed.

Suddenly, I was idle, but I didn't know what to do.

I often want to go to Wang Zheng, but when I think of this, the red lady's face flutters up unconsciously, and her steps are often wandering, but she can't step into the gate of the general's mansion at all.

Now there is a woman named Red Lady at the banquet, and everyone has some scruples when it comes to meat jokes, after all, the Red Lady is also a yellow flower girl.

It can be seen that this must be the most stable year for the red lady, and there is little constant laughter on the table, making noise like a little girl, and everyone is not at ease when they eat.

Huang Yang shook his head and smiled, the woman brought back by the general is really strange, her temperament is the same as that of a man, and when she fights, she can't get into the ordinary three or five Wendeng soldiers, but she doesn't want to be so playful at the dinner table.

......

The cold wind was blowing outside, and the charcoal fire and fire wall in the house were burned hot by the people below, and the warm ones couldn't even wear the inner armor, so they were left aside.

The pot on the charcoal stove has long been gurgling, the heat is constantly puffing on everyone's faces, the pot is tumbling with large pieces of mutton and pork bones, and some Niu Pingliang brought back fresh fish, shrimp and seafood from Jinshanzuo, plus the green vegetables purchased from the city, it is a simple hot pot.
