Chapter 00021 - Turning Back into a Poor Egg

As night fell, the lance arrived as scheduled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This time he was still not alone, he was carrying the representatives of the people of Shane in the morning, and now he was followed by the vigorous soldiers.

Squeak~

Shi Lance was no longer polite, and directly pushed open the door of the Zhao Mansion.

"Hurry up, hurry up ......"

"Hey~, let you hurry up, you should be careful for me, if this thing is broken, go back and see how Ben will clean you up."

……

The sound of the door opening alarmed the entire Zhao Mansion, and when Shi Lance commanded the soldiers, everyone in the Zhao Mansion came to the courtyard.

Zhao Shuo was wearing a brand new suit, leaning in front of the door, looking at these busy soldiers.

The soldiers at the front were holding scrolls one by one, which were only a few centimeters short and one or two meters long. Although Zhao Shuo saw the real thing for the first time, he also knew that these were all used by the ancients to write and paint, and if the stone lance could be specially sent to him, it must be a celebrity calligraphy and painting.

In addition to the celebrity calligraphy and painting in front, the soldiers who followed behind were holding pottery and porcelain, these pottery and porcelain were also large and small, the small one could be carried by one person, the big one needed four or five people to carry, and the last one or five meters of porcelain was full of eight people.

After everyone entered the courtyard, Shi Lance closed the door and walked in front of Zhao Shuo.

"Your Royal Highness, these are all celebrity calligraphy and paintings looted by Zhangfu, and there are some antiques and antiques, the last general is a big old man, he doesn't need these things, and it is really a bit of a waste in the barracks, these soldiers are used to it, maybe one day they will burn the calligraphy and paintings, and break the antiques." Speaking of this, the stone lance bowed. "These things are left by my ancestors, they are the treasures of my China, and they are really ashamed of future generations, so the last general has the courage to ask His Royal Highness to accept them, and they have been passed on to future generations."

Zhao Shuo chuckled, and then helped the stone lance up. "Deputy Commander Shi, between you and me, do you still need to be so polite now?"

Shi Lance got up and whispered. "These soldiers haven't been with me for long, so I have to show them something, if one day I am transferred to another place, they can also restrain themselves when they think of today's situation."

Shi Yan said very implicitly, but Zhao Shuo heard it very clearly.

The Song Dynasty implemented the system of 'separation of soldiers and generals', which was mainly to prevent the military generals from exercising monopoly and supporting the army with self-respect. But it also caused 'soldiers do not know generals, generals do not know soldiers', which is an important reason for the weakness of the Song Dynasty's army.

"Could it be that Deputy Commander Shi doesn't believe in the soldiers he commanded?" Zhao Shuo also replied in a low voice.

"Your Highness, now that the smoke is everywhere and the war is continuous, the final general can rely on His Highness to keep them fed and clothed, so naturally there will be no problem. But after the general is transferred, no one knows what will happen to the new deputy commander. What if you go back to the old days, when you didn't eat or drink? In order to live, no one can say what out-of-the-ordinary things they will do. Shi Lance said helplessly.

Zhao Shuo sighed, thinking about the Song Dynasty's 'separation of soldiers and generals' uniform, although it solved some drawbacks, it did more harm than good in the end.

"Don't worry, what you think won't happen." Zhao Shuo said confidently, then raised his voice and looked at the soldiers. "You have all worked hard, this time to exterminate the Zhang family and benefit the people of Lin'an, you are all meritorious people."

"It is our honor to serve His Highness." All the soldiers said in unison.

Although hundreds of soldiers spoke at the same time, the sound was not too loud, so it can be seen that for this situation, Shi Lance also specially advised.

"Fluttershy, give each of them three taels of silver." Zhao Shuo turned his head to look at Fluttershy and spoke.

The army of the Song Dynasty implemented a conscription system, and soldiers had become soldiers as a profession, and the annual salary of local soldiers was about 30 taels, that is, 30 taels of silver. Zhao Shuo rewarded three taels of silver, equivalent to one-tenth of their annual income. If you carry something once, you can get three taels of silver, which is really a lot of money for these soldiers.

So, after listening to Zhao Shuo's words, more than 100 soldiers showed joyful expressions on their faces.

Fluttershy clenched her little fists, it hurt very much, Zhao Shuo made a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver by selling briquettes, and now more than 100 people are almost consuming all of Zhao Shuo's property.

But even if a hundred are unhappy, Fluttershy can't argue with Zhao Shuo's orders, especially in front of these soldiers and lances.

Gritting her teeth, Fluttershy speaks. "Everyone line up and come here to receive the reward."

With that, Fluttershy walks to the East Wing, where the silver is stored.

After each soldier received it, he would come over to thank Zhao Shuo, and Zhao Shuo also nodded frequently, and when the last soldier received the silver, Shi Lance let these soldiers return to the barracks.

"Your Highness, let you break the bank, and the end will be another day......" Shi Lance, who has been operating briquettes for a period of time, can be said to be well aware of the profits of briquettes. Zhao Shuo has sold briquettes for more than half a month, and he can know how much profit he can make as long as he uses his brain.

Zhao Shuo waved his hand and interrupted the stone lance. "Deputy Commander Shi, we know each other so well, I'll make it clear."

Shi Shu nodded, and Zhao Shuo continued. "You salute to establish my position among these soldiers, and so do I reward them. If one day the situation you mentioned does occur, presumably they will be able to think twice and not do anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Your Highness is far-sighted, and the last general will admire." After Shi Lance finished speaking, he frowned slightly, and then said. "Then Your Highness ...... the rest of the days"

Shi Lance knew very well that Zhao Shuo had no money, he wanted to give Zhao Shuo some, but was interrupted by Zhao Shuo, and now he was about to speak, but he couldn't find a suitable reason anymore.

"Don't worry, I can still solve such a small thing as making money myself." Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "However, I want to trouble Deputy Commander Shi for another matter."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"There is a man named Zhang Chujiu in your army, I hope you can bring this person along."

"Since it was ordered by His Highness, the last general will go back to handle it."

After Shi Lance finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

After the stone lance left, looking at the calligraphy, paintings, and antiques all over the yard, Zhao Shuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, if there is no way, let's sell these things." Fluttershy walks over and pouts.

"Don't sell it, these are all good things, and you can use them in the future."

"But we're ...... now," Fluttershy looks aggrieved and stops.

"Isn't there just no money? Rest assured, with me, the money will come back soon. Zhao Shuo frowned and began to think of a way.

There are many ways to make money, but to find one that is suitable for this era and can achieve immediate results in this era, you have to think about it.

After thinking about it, Zhao Shuo thought of the most practical catering industry, and then naturally thought of a person - Shopkeeper Li.
