Chapter 9 has a bright future

Li Mingchu was very poor, and he just caught up with such a major life event as having a child, and he took it first, and no one had anything to say.

In this way, the soldier no longer dared to have the slightest doubt, and his face was full of surprise, and he said joyful words vigorously.

"It's really sent! It's really sent! ”

"Two years and six months of military salary, I can receive more than ten or twenty taels of silver."

"After receiving the salary, I will be able to eat enough, and my wife and children will not have to go hungry anymore!"

Li Mingchu, with Wu Ji's support, got up happily, and then ran away with the silver in his hand, but there was a ridicule behind him.

"This Li Mingchu is too good at doing it! The cub actually caught up with Commander Wu to take office, good luck! ”

"I thought he did it at the wrong time, but now it seems that he did it at the right time!"

"Haha!"

The soldiers laughed knowingly, and their faces were happy. This joy did not come from making fun of Li Mingchu, but from the fact that he was about to receive his military salary.

There was no need for Wu Ji to greet them, the soldiers took the initiative to line up, maintained order, and went to lead the army one by one. The master bookkeeper was also skilled, and he quickly finished sending out the money.

The soldiers held the silver in their hands, their faces were excited, and tears rolled in their eyes, as if in a dream.

"Commander Xie Wu! Conductor Xie Wu! ”

"Commander Wu is our reborn parent!"

The soldiers knelt down in unison and kowtowed to Wu Ji, extremely hard, and a "knock knock" kowtow sounded. The scene of hundreds of people prostrating their heads was extremely shocking.

Looking at the simple faces, Wu Ji was both happy and emotional, the soldiers were not bad people, but in order to support their families, they had to do something to steal chickens and dogs.

"Commander Wu, you have got the heart of the army! From now on, if you want them to live, they will live, and if you want them to die, they will die, and there will be no second words! Huangfu Song looked at the grateful soldiers, and whispered in Wu Ji's ear: "Such a win of the hearts of the army is rare in history!" ”

He is right, at this moment, these soldiers have the pride of being born for Wu Ji and dying for Wu Ji, as long as Wu Ji says a word and a gesture, even if they go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will not frown.

"Get up!" Wu Ji waved his hand and asked the soldiers to stand up.

"Commander Xie Wu! Conductor Xie Wu! ”

The soldiers stood up happily and gathered around Wu Ji, looking at Wu Ji with a grateful face, only to find that Wu Ji's small body was not small, it was extremely tall.

Looking at Wu Ji's gaze from appreciation, to gratitude, to fanaticism, Wu Ji was already a god-like existence in their minds.

"Commander Wu, there is still so much silver, how can you do it?" The master bookkeeper looked at the mountains of treasures, and it was so dazzling that his eyes were wide open.

A total of nearly 50,000 taels of silver were found, and the military salary for two years and six months was only more than 10,000 taels, not even half of it, and there were quite a few. How to deal with it is indeed a big problem.

"Commander Wu, please let me say something fair." After a slight hesitation, the soldier who stole the chicken took the lead in speaking: "If it weren't for Commander Wu, we wouldn't have received military salaries, and our family wouldn't have enough to eat." The rest of the silver will be under the command of Wu, brothers, is there anyone who is unwilling? ”

"Nope!"

There are only two words, but they are spoken in unison, as if one person is speaking.

If Wu Ji took the rest of the silver, the soldiers would never have a second word, on the contrary, they thought that it should be so. Not for anything else, just because Wu Ji did not deduct their military salaries, on this one, Wu Ji could catch up with the sages.

In the army of the Song Dynasty, there were not no generals and officers who did not withhold their salaries, but there were too few and too few. Out of a thousand, there may not be one, and Wu Ji's actions are not much different from those of sages.

"Yes! Commander Wu, if you don't withhold military salaries, just this is enough to get the death power of the soldiers, and the silver belongs to you, and they will have no objections! Huangfu Song whispered in Wu Ji's ear: "There are not many opportunities like this!" If you miss it, you won't have it again! ”

"I appreciate your kindness." Wu Ji shook his head slowly, and said to the soldiers: "This silver is the hard-earned money of the brothers. Among you, there are many people who make cattle and horses for He Wanquan's house and make money for him. And your family members are oppressed by him, and they work hard for him, and earn money for him. If I take this money, I am taking your blood and sweat, and I will not be able to sleep. ”

Wu Ji's voice is not very high, but it has its own unquestionable righteousness, the soldiers listened to it, sighed in their hearts, and said in unison: "Commander Wu, you are really a good person!" Good guys! ”

"Those who have worked as coolies, as well as those who have contributed to the work of their families, report them all and receive their wages!" Wu Ji glanced at his family members, and saw that many family members were both resentful and expectant, and their eyes were very bright, no worse than the heavenly martyrs.

They should have been stripped of He Wan, but they didn't receive their wages.

"Really?" As soon as Wu Ji's voice fell, the excited voices of family members immediately sounded.

"Of course it's true! Commander Wu spoke and counted, he said that the silver will be issued, and the silver will be issued! ”

"Those who have done work, hurry up, go and get the money!"

"If you haven't done any work, you are not allowed to take it off! Whoever pretends to take it, Lao Tzu will be the first to spare you! ”

A group of soldiers were busy cheering Wu Ji on, saying everything Wu was going to say, and they were also threatening. Some of the soldiers were gearing up and posing as if they were going to beat someone.

After getting Wu Ji's consent, the family members will come up and start to receive wages. The soldiers kept greeting their families and told them not to make false reports, but to be honest.

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Wu Ji sighed again: "Is this still the ruffian person I just saw in the barracks?" They are so honest, so sincere, they can be role models! ”

The family received the completion money, knelt down for Wu Ji again, and kowtowed to thank him. There are old and young who prostrate, and the old ones have gray hair and dull eyes; The few are still breastfeeding, and they are holding their families and kowtowing to Wu Ji.

Wu Ji was busy and tossed for a while before revealing the matter.

There was also a lot of silver, and Wu Ji called Shang Yuan and asked him to find some craftsmen to renovate the barracks. Shang Yuan is the head of Hui Yibing, he is familiar with these things, and it is most appropriate to hand them over to him.

The barracks here are big holes and small eyes, no different from the slums, and the soldiers look forward to it every day. Today, when I finally looked forward to it, there was another burst of cheers, and Wu Ji was regarded as a sage.

After dealing with these, Wu Ji walked among the soldiers, and said with a solemn face: "Brothers: I, I know your difficulties!" You are old, you are young, you can't get military salaries, you can't eat, you can't open the pot, you have to do some things like stealing chickens and dogs! I can never blame for this! But now that you have received your military pay, should you go and pay off these debts? ”

"This ...... Commander Wu, how do you say to do it, how to do it when you are small! Can you secretly return the money? The soldier who stole the chickens turned red. No matter what the reason, stealing chickens and touching dogs is always a shame, although he is out of helplessness, but he is very embarrassed.

"What's your name?" Wu Ji looked at it and inquired.

"Command back to Wu, the small one is called Gao Fuyuan, called Gao Fuyuan." Gao Fuyuan replied hurriedly.

"Hmmm! I'm going to tell you, I'm going to look into it! Whoever doesn't pay back the money, I will be court-martialed! Wu Ji looked at the soldiers and said, "I will give you two days of vacation and deal with these things." Add the things that should be added to the house, and settle the family well. Then repair your beard and hair, and be a soldier, not like you are now, no different from a person who asks for food! ”

The soldiers of the moment, bearded and in tattered clothes, were not much different from beggars.

"In two days, bring your swords, guns, bows, arrows, and put on your armor, and assemble here! Latecomers, military law engaged! Wu Ji's voice was not high, but it made people dare not have the slightest doubt: "Disperse!" ”

Wu Ji waved his hand and asked the soldiers to disperse, but the soldiers looked at Wu Ji and didn't want to be separated. Wu Ji tossed for half a day, he was a little tired, he had to go back, there were some things that he still needed to think about, and today, he just understood the situation.

Wu Ji took his own soldiers, went out of the barracks, and went home. The soldiers kept sending Wu Ji out of the barracks, and then they said goodbye in tears.

When Wu Ji returned home, he greeted Yang Xiuxiu. When Yang Xiuxiu saw Wu Ji's face, she hurriedly said: "Wu Lang, you can be regarded as back!" Lord Zheng is waiting for you! In the living room! ”

"Oh!" Wu Ji was a little surprised, what did Mrs. Zheng wait for him?

Hurried to the living room, saw Mrs. Zheng's smile on her face, rushed over, hugged her fists, and congratulated Wu Ji: "Congratulations to Commander Wu!" Congratulations to Commander Wu! ”

"Lord Zheng, where does the joy come from?" Wu Ji was a little unsure.

"From here!" Mrs. Zheng handed the things in her hand to Wu Ji and said with a smile: "This is the text of the Privy Council, Commander Wu, please take a look!" ”

Wu Ji took it, opened it and took a look, only to see a bright big seal, which was the seal of the Privy Council, and couldn't help but look surprised: "I am the commander, can I use it to pass through the Privy Council?" ”

The Privy Council was the highest military organ of the Song Dynasty, and together with Menxia Province, it was one of the highest organs of power in the Song Dynasty, in charge of the military affairs of the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to the current Ministry of National Defense.

Wu Ji is a small battalion commander, and since his promotion has alarmed the Privy Council, it is like the promotion of modern divisional and regimental officers is written by the Ministry of National Defense, and the standard is too high.

This incident was too unexpected for Wu Ji, and it was impossible for Wu Ji not to be surprised.

"Commander Wu, it's not just that!" Mrs. Zheng was very happy, pointed to a symbol on the text, and explained to Wu Ji: "This is the handwriting of the deputy privy envoy Wang Shao, General Wang. ”

The official documents of the Song Dynasty not only had a seal, but also had a charge, if there was no charge, it would have no effect, and even the emperor's decree was no exception. Every emperor of the Song Dynasty had a unique rhyming character, which would only take effect if the ragged character appeared.

Although Wang Shao is the deputy privy envoy, there is no privy envoy in the Privy Council, he is the boss of the Privy Council, and he is quite acting Minister of National Defense. What does it mean for an officer at the division and regimental level to be promoted with the signature of the acting Minister of Defense?

"This ......" Wu Ji certainly knew what it meant, but it came too suddenly, and it was a little hard to believe.

"Congratulations to Commander Wu, you have a bright future!" Mrs. Zheng smiled and said the meaning of this incident.
