When Qin Ze said this, all the soldiers were silent. Especially the team is also red-faced and red-eared, and can no longer say a word.

They are in charge of scouting. Not to mention the person who escaped, just the sudden appearance of the reckless bull had already scared them. Because looking at the other party's appearance, it is very likely that they have been near them all along, but if it wasn't for Qin Ze calling the other party out, they would probably still be kept in the dark until now.

"The last will be convicted and willing to be punished." The team bent down and bowed respectfully to Qin Ze.

The first team can be said to be the most important team in their Nanding army. Among them were twenty scouts, and thirty cavalrymen. The other three teams were all ordinary infantry.

Therefore, if Qin Ze wants to make this army strong, he must first start with this first team.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on the other party's face, Qin Ze also glanced at Cheng Huailiang on the side. After he finished singing with this black face, he always wanted his white face to come out again and end up.

This is a familiar road for Cheng Huailiang, first listed the other party's failures one by one and punished them. In the end, the words changed and he comforted him, let him continue to serve as the leader of the first team, and give him a chance to atone for his sins.

This approach undoubtedly made the other party become desperate, and he also made a military order at the moment, and he will definitely not take it lightly.

After solving these things, it is the turn of the penny. Qin Ze first counted the boxes of copper coins, a total of 24,372 coins. And those things like cloth and porcelain, Qin Ze also directly called the people from the Chamber of Commerce who accompanied him to ask them to estimate them.

These people are all members of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the so-called Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce is also a new chamber of commerce headed by Wang Fu. What everyone is trying to do is to follow the Nanding army this time and expand the trade here.

The person accompanying him was a middle-aged man with a rat beard, Qin Ze had always called him Shopkeeper Zheng, and he was one of the people in charge of these Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce. He was accompanied by two buddy people, who came to help him and to keep him safe. Seeing that Qin Ze needed them, he hurriedly stepped forward and began to think about it.

Their price is also fair, and it is two percent lower than the market price of Chang'an City. Naturally, this is understandable, and no one in the entire army raised objections. In the end, these miscellaneous things totaled more than 10,000 copper coins.

In this way, with the previous more than 20,000 copper coins, there are almost 40,000 copper coins. Qin Ze and Cheng Huailiang are not ambiguous, as long as they are people in the army, they all have their own share. It's just that the people in the logistics only have 150 wen, while the soldiers get 200 wen. The remaining 1,000 catties of more than 1,000 pounds were recorded in the account as military expenses.

No one has any objection to this approach, and it is very satisfying for them to have two hundred wen, who cares about the remaining few copper coins.

Considering that the copper coins were really difficult to carry, Qin Ze simply asked the shopkeeper Zheng to record these soldiers, and each of them issued a voucher and told them that when they returned to Chang'an City, they could withdraw it directly.

This is a qualitative leap, and Qin Ze intends to start bringing the Jiaozi thing to everyone's attention. Replacing real copper money with relatively cheap paper not only reduces copper consumption, but also saves the cost of transportation and preservation.

It's just that no one can see what this move means yet, and some people are willing to do this, and some people are not willing to do so. They stubbornly believe that it is still comfortable to hold real money in their hands.

Qin Ze didn't stop this, if he wanted copper money, he would give copper money, and if he wanted a certificate, he would give a certificate, if it wasn't not calculated in advance, he planned to calculate this matter with Wang Fu, if he could establish a complete set of systems, wouldn't it be able to greatly promote the development of their chamber of commerce.

The punishment is over, the reward is over, and the time has come to deal with these robbers.

Qin Ze would not have the slightest sympathy for them, although they stubbornly believed that they only grabbed a little bit at a time, and basically did not hurt people's lives.

But this can never change the fact that they are robbers themselves. And in this era when human life is cheaper than grass, Qin Ze doesn't believe that these people will have no lives in their hands.

It's like no one will forgive robbers for not killing them all, because in essence, taking people's money is a kind of killing.

It's just that he is still quite interested in Zhou Cheng. This will be busy with everything, and he will also get over with Cheng Huailiang.

The robbers were all squatting on the ground one by one, and no one dared to move. Seeing Qin Ze and Cheng Huailiang coming, they all moved aside one by one, for fear that they would be accidentally implicated.

Only Zhou Cheng squatted, but he looked at Qin Ze and the others fearlessly.

A robber should have the consciousness of a robber, and he had already thought of this fate. So this will be iron-clad and hard-working.

"What's your name?" Cheng Huailiang looked condescendingly at Zhou Cheng on the ground and asked.

Zhou Cheng grinned, spread his hands but stood up from the ground, faced Cheng Huailiang and said: "The surname is Zhou Mingcheng, this time it falls on you, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it." ”

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was so tough, Cheng Huailiang glanced at Qin Ze, and then asked: "How did you see that we were approaching before, as far as I know, we didn't get too close at that time, and we didn't make the slightest sound, but you can see at a glance, why is this?" ”

"Hmph." Zhou Cheng snorted coldly, as if Cheng Huailiang's question was an idiot, and said with disdain on his face: "Although you are cautious, don't forget the most important point, which is the shaking of the tree. As long as you notice that there are different swing directions, you can know that there must be something. And ......"

Speaking of this, he smiled playfully again. continued: "And you are not familiar with the situation in Yushan at all. ”

Qin Ze listened to Zhou Cheng's words, and he also laughed. Looking at Cheng Huailiang next to him, his face will also be embarrassed, and he will be said to be the coach with a dull face.

Qin Ze didn't pay attention to so much, this time the veterans thought that it was extremely simple, so they didn't even send scouts out to explore the terrain in advance. If you send people out in advance, you can choose another path when encircling and suppressing, so that your whereabouts will not be exposed.

Speaking of which, these veterans are still too underestimated. But there is no need to worry about this, Qin Ze has a way to make them serious.

On the contrary, he now attaches great importance to Zhou Chang, and he also thinks about earning under his command.

"Zhou Cheng, I can give you two choices now, one is to be sent to the government with them, and the other is to join us with meritorious service. As you can already see, we're no ordinary team. To tell you the truth, we are the army of Nanding. Speaking of this, Qin Ze didn't speak anymore, waiting for Zhou Cheng's answer.

The other party also thought for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and hugged his fists at Qin Ze and Cheng Huailiang and said, "It's okay to let me join, but I want to pick a few people to join me." ”

"Up to five." Cheng Huailiang on the side stretched out his hand and gestured a five. At the end, he added: "And we don't take in mediocre people." ”

If it weren't for Zhou Cheng's performance that surprised Cheng Huailiang so much, he wouldn't have agreed to this. But now it seems to be worth it.

"Okay." Zhou Cheng is also a cheerful person, so he immediately agreed.

Thirty-two robbers, all from one place. said that there was no affection for each other, then no one believed it, if it weren't for the previous poor performance, Qin Ze really had the urge to accept them all.

After all, it's not bad to be cannon fodder who can run!

Zhou Cheng came to his bandit team and began to negotiate with those people. During this period, Qin Ze and the others were waiting on the side, but things were far from being as simple as they thought. Everyone knows that once it is sent to the government, the future is fundamentally worrying. So naturally, they begged Zhou Cheng in every way, so Zhou Cheng and they spoke louder and louder, and even quarreled in the end.

They all want to follow Zhou Cheng, but there are only five candidates. In other words, no matter who Zhou Chang picks, everyone else is dissatisfied.

The most fierce quarrel is the second master, which will be called a righteous rhetoric, counting the contributions he has made over the years. This guy is a-stirring stick, Qin Ze doesn't know how this guy can become the second master. In his opinion, shouldn't this kind of heartless guy live for less than three days?

And the facts also confirmed Qin Ze's thoughts, Brigade Marshal Zhang Bao has a hot temper, and what he values most is righteousness. As soon as I saw these two masters jumping up and down, a large group of people were waiting here.

was also angry, and walked up with a strange knife, and without saying a word, he directly raised the knife with one hand. The second master snorted, and then a blood line suddenly appeared, and then his body tilted, and his head rolled down directly.

Qin Ze has killed people, and he is also the one who was killed by black powder. But when I saw this scene, I still felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

What made him feel most uncomfortable was that when these veterans saw their brigade commander make a move, they applauded loudly one by one. And Zhang Bao also kicked out, and kicked the round head of the second master out directly.

Human life is cheaper than grass, this is the tone of this era, and it is also the reason why Qin Ze feels that he has not been able to adapt here.

As soon as the second master died, the robbers immediately shut up. One by one, they no longer spoke, but shrank back and wanted to stay away from Zhang Bao.

No one paid attention to the corpse of the second master on the ground, and in the end, Zhou Cheng picked out five people, and then threw the second master into the cliff on the other side, which can be regarded as a burial.

The five people he picked out were five of the six people who had been left in the Nine Dragons Cave before. Among them was the person who took advantage of the chaos to escape, Cheng Huailiang didn't care about this, anyway, he only wanted Zhou Cheng, and the rest didn't care.

But when it came time to return to the team, there was a problem, where to put the extra six people, no matter who looked at them, they all looked reluctant, and no one even wanted to look at them directly.

"Su Dingfang before, but now it is Zhou Cheng again. Where does your self-confidence come from? ”

Qin Ze looked at these veterans with a gloomy face, and he was also helpless for a while.
