Wang Shao is right, this is definitely a holy decree of the ages, and it is very collectible. Moreover, there was a lot of banter in his words, and his words were relaxed and made people laugh, and a burst of laughter sounded: "Haha! ”

Wu Ji took a look at the holy decree, and sure enough, it was densely packed with three imperial silks, and when Song Shenzong was writing the holy decree at that time, he must have been as happy as a magpie.

Next, Wang Shao continued to announce that Mrs. Zheng was also promoted, but he had to be transferred. But they will not be transferred immediately, but they will not be able to go elsewhere until the conversion is almost re-established.

Huangfu Song was also promoted to one level and was sentenced to be the deputy commander of the Xin Army. Huangfu Song is very happy, he has also become a central official, although it is a judgment word, there is a big gap with the senior central officials represented by Wu Ji's Zhizi, after all, he is a central official, can he not be happy?

Qi Dabao was recruited into the army and directly appointed as the Marquis of Yu, that is to say, the three important occupations of the Guixin Army were arranged. The person in charge of the first army is the commander of the capital, and his deputies are the deputy commander of the capital and the marquis of Yu. Qi Dabao was sentenced to be the Marquis of Xinjun, and he was also directly among the central officials, and he was very happy.

After rewarding Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao, they began to reward Li Mingchu and Shang Yuan. Li Mingchu was promoted to battalion commander, and Li Mingchu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Recalling that at the beginning, when Wu Ji took over the Guixin Army, he was so poor that he didn't even have pants to wear, and how much time had passed, and he became the commander of the battalion.

All those who have made meritorious contributions have their own rewards, and there are no omissions or meritorious deeds, which is very rare in the history of the Song Dynasty. As soon as the reward was over, everyone was happy, and the soldiers and civilians were all happy.

More joy is yet to be attained for the converts, and those who participate in the war of conversion, regardless of whether they have made meritorious contributions or not, will be spared the endowment of their lives. A lifetime of taxes is so exempt, who can not be happy? Even the baby who is still in swaddling clothes is also on this list, for no other reason, because he is in the city, and the sound of waw and crying can frighten the enemy, of course, this is Song Shenzong's decision to give the converted soldiers and civilians a benevolent government.

Depending on the size of the meritorious service, taxes are exempted from two to three generations. As soon as this article came out, there was immediately a cheer, and the converts were all overjoyed.

Under normal circumstances, it is already very difficult to exempt taxes for three or five years, or even ten years, and there is no such thing as exempting people from paying taxes for one lifetime or two or three generations.

However, as far as the preservation of the Central Plains is concerned, this reward is nothing at all. If the Liao State burned the flames of war into the Central Plains, the Central Plains would be destroyed, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

This reward is the happiest thing for the converts and civilians, because not only do they not pay in this life, but also their children and grandchildren do not pay it. This is secondary, the most important thing is that they will obtain derivative rights, in Wu Qing's words, "My son, my grandson, don't worry about marrying a daughter-in-law, there will be many beautiful daughters-in-law, and I will have a lot of grandchildren!" ”

Two or three generations are exempt from endowment, and the blessing of future generations, this privilege is not only glorious, but also very attractive, Wu Jian wants to marry a daughter-in-law, as long as he opens his mouth, there will be many people who are willing to marry their daughters to him.

Who doesn't love a house full of children and grandchildren? If you want to convert, the army and the people will not rejoice.

In the end, it was not a reward, but just a repayment, and Song Shenzong allocated 500,000 taels of silver to Wu Ji to repay his thunderbolts. Converted to the two wars and the siege of Xiongzhou, these thunderbolts were not collected, which is considered compensation. Wu Ji discussed with Qi Dabao and was ready to give him 100,000 taels to compensate for the thunderbolts provided by Qi Yun Society, which was a big deal. Qi Dabao did not agree, he asked for a thunderbolt.

As soon as the decree was announced, they began to give rewards, and a lot of gold and silver were sent down, and the soldiers and civilians of the believing people all laughed so much that their mouths were cracked into lotus flowers, where could they be combined.

Wu Qing hugged the silver, came to Wu Ji with a smile, and shouted: "Ji'er, you see, the third uncle is the happiest in his life." From now on, the third uncle doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he can lie down for the rest of his life. Oh, Ji'er, you quickly think of a way, let's go and kill Liao Gou again, and make more contributions. I have been exempted from three generations, and I have been exempted from ten generations. ”

Do you think the Liao army is a turnip, just waiting for you to pull it? Wu Ji was very angry, and was about to speak, when he saw many converted soldiers and civilians coming up and echoing in unison: "Yes! Commander, you can think of a way. ”

"Your Excellency, you can extinguish the wind thieves, defeat Liaogou, and relieve the siege of Xiongzhou, there must be a lot of methods."

looked at Wu Ji one by one, extremely eager, Wu Ji shrugged helplessly: "The battle has been fought for a hundred years, and there will be many in the future, and some of them are fought by you." ”

Turn around and leave, ignore them anymore, it's crazy to want to make meritorious contributions, if you stir up again, who knows what ideas they will come up with.

"Haha!" Wang Shao couldn't help laughing when he saw it in his eyes, patted Wu Ji on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wu, you are this." You see, they are really convinced of you and admire you! Brother Wu, to tell you the truth, I have never seen a general like you in the army for so many years, so kind to the people, so trusting the people, so close to you, even I can't do it. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, as long as you don't oppress them." Wu Ji told the truth. For the people, there is no need to deliberately get close to them, as long as they are not oppressed, they will be close to themselves.

"That being said, how many people can do it?" Wang Shao shook his head in distress: "Among the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, there are no more than ten who can not oppress the people. They not only oppressed the people, but also oppressed the soldiers, because the army's morale was unstable and morale was low, and they pressed Liaogou for hundreds of years. If all the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are like you, how can Liao dogs run rampant? ”

The problem of the Song Dynasty is not external, but internal, corruption [***] has become a common practice, killing the people and taking merit, and there are endless things to win merit, and it is precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty is weak and pressed against the Liao State.

If the Song Dynasty had been as efficient and honest as the Tang Dynasty, it would have beaten the Khitans back to the grassland.

Wu Ji didn't have the heart to discuss this kind of thing, and he couldn't care about it, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother Wang, I want to wash off the tattoos for the brothers, can you allow it?" ”

Washing away the tattoo is equivalent to a very heavy matter for the modern army to rip off its uniform. If Wang Shao's permission can be obtained, it would be good.

"Wash the thorn words?" Wang Shao was stunned for a moment, very surprised: "Brother Wu, this is a big deal, don't think about it." ”

"Brother Xie Wang reminds." Wu Ji nodded and said: "I have Di Qing ordered to wash the tattoos, and it is not impossible to wash them. The brothers have made such a great contribution, even if they play the official family, the official family will allow it, right? ”

"That's just as well." Wang Shao groaned slightly, and said with his head bowed: "If you hadn't relieved the siege of Xiongzhou, the Central Plains would have been ruined. Okay, I agreed. ”

He is a confidant of Song Shenzong, he agreed, there will be no problem, Wu Ji was overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”

Immediately spread the news, sent the potion, and asked the letter army to wash off the tattoo. The returned soldiers were overjoyed, laughing like pistachios, and a swarm of bees poured out, kowtowing to Wu Ji and Wang Shao to thank them.

The tattoo is a violation of human rights, with this tattoo, every person will be a lower class, even if the letter army has made great contributions, it is still inevitable to be inferior. If you wash off the tattoos, you will be a normal person again, and you will no longer have low self-esteem, who can not be happy?

Originally, it was said that Mrs. Zheng and Huangfu Song would help take responsibility, but unexpectedly, Wu Ji actually said that Wang Shao was moved, which was a great thing, and Mrs. Zheng and Huangfu Song were also overjoyed, and they agreed with Wu Ji's move.

"Brother Wu, I came to convert this time, in addition to the decree, there is another important matter, that is, I came at your captive knife and thunderbolt bomb." Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji and went straight to the point: "The battle of Xiongzhou has proved that the captive knife is very suitable for battlefield use, I don't know how many you can make?" ”

"It's not that hard, you just need to increase the number of people. Once the snow and ice have thawed, you can do it again. "Wu Ji knows the meaning of the sword, and if the Song Dynasty doesn't buy it, it will become a strange thing.

"That's very good." Wang Shao was very pleased, and said: "In addition to the one that Bianguan Chengchi bought from you, how about making another 200,000 handfuls?" ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Wu Ji was taken aback, even if the Wu military industry increased its manpower and wanted to build 200,000 handfuls, it would take a lot of time, and it would not be possible to take it in a year or two.

"It's not much, it's just the first batch, and there will be more later." Wang Shao smiled, his eyes flashed, and he groaned slightly: "Brother Wu, let me give you a thorough explanation, you don't have to talk about it to others, even if it's your parents, wife and children." ”

Wu Ji knew that he was so solemn, and what he said must be a top secret matter, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, I shouldn't know it, I still don't want to know." ”

"Huh!" Wang Shao shook his head and said, "You will know sooner or later, so it is better to tell you first." After this battle of Xiongzhou, Yelu Hongji will respond in this way, and at the moment, we don't know. However, according to my opinion and that of the officials, Yelu Hongji is likely to endure it. ”

"Shinobi?" Wu Ji was too surprised, and his voice was a little high: "The Liao State has suffered such a big defeat, if Yelu Hongji endures it, he will not be Yelu Hongji." ”

"Yes, Yelu Hongji is not the kind of person who suffers. He suffered a loss and tried every possible means to get it back. Wang Shao agreed with this statement: "However, his forbearance is not that he doesn't ask, but that he wants to better retaliate against the Great Song Dynasty." If he didn't endure it, and immediately raised troops to fight the Great Song Dynasty, we would be happy. If he endures, the consequences will be severe. ”

The more Wu Ji listened, the more confused he became, his eyes widened, and he didn't know where to start.

"Brother Wu, don't be surprised." Wang Shao explained with a smile: "The Great Song Dynasty has a secret weapon, if the research is successful, it is not a matter of attacking the city. However, what he didn't expect was that this secret was stolen by Yelu Hongji. If he immediately raised troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, it would prove that the progress of the Liao State was not fast. If he endures it, it means that the Liao State is ahead of the Great Song Dynasty, and the problem is very serious. ”

"Oh!" Wu Ji's interest was aroused: "What kind of weapon is it?" ”

Wang Shao whispered in Wu Ji's ear, Wu Ji's mouth was wide open, his eyes were round, his face was in disbelief, and he stammered: "You have made it...... Created a ......"
