Chapter 438 Hiding wealth from the people is not the same as conniving at the people
"Brother, what kind of note do you have, can you show us? We're here to hand over the horses, too. "The www.biquge.info big cow has to be clever, and he happened to see a man coming out of it with a smile in his hand, still holding a note in his hand, and immediately went up and asked.
"I don't understand, anyway, they said that if you take this thing back to the Yamen of the Datong garrison or something, you can get 25 taels of silver, aren't I going to wait for the Qin army masters to arrange it and go back with me?" The man smiled uprightly, anyway, under the rule of the Qin army, there is no good end for anyone who dares to mess around.
"What's written on this, can you show me?" Da Niu looked at it enviously, and then immediately came back to his senses, and his silver was more than him.
"Here, don't break it, they said they only recognize this one." The man glanced at him, and then at the Qin army's foot soldiers, so he chose to believe it, after all, he still believed in the Qin army's signboard.
"Master Qin Jun, take a look, I'm illiterate, what's written on this?" Da Niu carefully took the piece of paper written with a brush like holding a treasure, and then didn't understand a word for a long time, so he could only hand the note to the soldier of the Qin army under the urging of Er Niu and the owner of the other paper.
"Oh, that is to say, Liangang Township with the military and civilian husband Zhang Daisun captured three war horses, counting Qi to pick up two lines of silver, according to military regulations, this is captured on the edge of the battlefield, with a number of three and one to the pattern of silver two whole soldiers, with this article and then stamped with the handprint of Liangang Township to prove identity, you can receive the pattern silver to settle down." The little soldier read it enviously, these words were all learned in the night literacy class, but most people can also know some of the necessary military orders and their own names, and it is rare to know so many people like this one.
"Just give the number of Trinity, by the way, this will be returned to you first," Da Niu pouted, first handed the note to the man Zhang Daisun, and then counted the fingers one by one, and counted two hands first, but he was not strong, so he could only take Er Niu's two hands over, but the previous row was said to be fifty-five taels of silver, and he and Er Niu's two hands plus one piece were only 20 fingers, not enough!
"Master Qin Jun, don't lend your hand to make an envoy?"
"Okay, okay, don't count, if fifty-five taels are seized according to military regulations, won't it be seventeen or eighteen taels of silver? Look at your stupidity, go get in line, I'm thinking, it's almost there. Qin Junbing was already envious, and when he looked at him stupidly, he was immediately angry, and said with a disgusted face.
"Howl, howl." Seeing that he lost his temper, Da Niu was a little embarrassed, wondering if he had received the money and divided it with him, but when he thought about it like this, he felt pain in his flesh, and he thought that he didn't have any money on him, where is the money to bribe?
"Liu Da Niu, Liu Erniu, I'll take a look at the war horses and heads you brought first, you wait." The logistics officers of the various battalions stationed in the big battalion were also busy today, and there were soldiers from various armies who continued to hand in the captured documents signed and signed by the generals, and there was also an endless stream of people who came to receive merit with their own captures, and they were also busy and dizzy.
"Lord Commander, I can't figure it out, why do we waste so much money on the people? They grabbed prisoners everywhere and snatched war horses, didn't they do the work of our Qin army? And give them silver according to military regulations! "A lieutenant of the cavalry brigade who stayed behind really didn't understand why King Qin set up such a rule in the first place, isn't this a waste of silver?
"Don't get it? It's good if you don't understand it, if you do, you won't be a lieutenant here, and if you don't understand it, you have to be given a prefect to do it. Zheng Jianjun smiled slightly, after all, the Tao here is too deep, but since this person asked, he should also have a pastime,
"This is a rule set by the King of Qin himself, and this is called the military regulations and majesty of establishing the eternal inheritance of our Qin army, and the local governor and prefect call this the wealth of the people, understand? We only paid a little bit of silver, but these peasants got real integrity, and they had to live a relatively good life with money. That's because we have to let the local peasants see what we do, and ah, we have to stimulate them, and if we don't serve the Qin army, then there will be no money to take. ”
Zheng Jianjun listened to everything he got from Zheng Renbao, and then regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, he went up to look at the war horses that had been put into storage, not to mention, with the help of these people, in just a while, he handed over nearly 200 war horses, one according to the reward is less than ten taels of silver, put it in the past, it was so easy to capture.
Although this was fought by the entire Qin army, didn't the people also steal it from the Mongolian Tartars? These lonely Tartars are still a little fierce, they have to go up to catch a few dead and wounded, and they also contain the army.
"The order goes down, every war horse must first make a small plate to verify its identity, the account book must be done, and every note must be signed by the quartermaster. Anything that involves these military supplies, Zheng Jianjun immediately became interested, anyway, his strength is here.
"Yes!" Although the cavalry brigade and the foot town have no commander-in-chief relationship, but here, Zheng Jianjun, the chief military officer, is everyone's top boss, even if Wu Guangnian and Wang Guzong arrive in person, they have to obey Zheng Jianjun's orders, not to mention such a small captain.
"This battle has finally come to an end, and the Ming army in Xuanhua Town is estimated to be retreating!" Zheng Jianjun looked at the night sky from afar, and said with some sighs, maybe in a few days, it should be reported from above that he would march into Xuanhua, and it would be much easier to fight the Ming army at that time.
"Two high-grade war horses, the price is sixty taels, according to the number of three and one according to military merits, the whole should be twenty taels, as for the head of this tartar, it is true, according to five taels, a total of two taels of silver will be given to you." The quartermaster saw that another colleague confirmed by him nodded, and immediately started to write down everything, and then the two of them drew a charge on the top before handing it to Liu Daniu.
"Press here, your name is Liu Da Niu, your name is Liu Erniu, right? Take this note and go back to find your village Lizheng first, let him draw a charge on it, the best thing is to let him take you to the garrison yamen, show this note to prove your identity, you can get the silver, in addition to staying here tonight for the night, tomorrow morning, there will be a special cavalry to send you back to Datong. The quartermaster waited until he had finished confirming it, and then turned around and went to copy another note, after all, there were too many people, and they were too few to work.
"Okay, I'll go and rest, thank you to the old men of Qin Jun." Liu Daniu held this note, and his mouth couldn't close with excitement, but just as he was about to go back, he suddenly heard a commotion around him.
"What? I worked hard to rob two Mongolian Tartars, and you actually gave me twenty taels of silver? This is also too much of a loss, I will not sell it, I will take it back to Datong and sell it to the merchants outside the mouth, and they will give me at least thirty or forty taels of silver a horse. A man stood loudly in front of the quartermaster's door and shouted, and his voice immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Isn't this the bastard king Mazi on the street? Why did he come to be a man this time? A man who knew him whispered.
"Isn't it that Master Qin Jun is sympathetic to us, this person, who has been rectified by the official master a few times, has long dared not wander around on the street, and he probably came out to beg for food, but what is he making a lot of?" The other people from the same place immediately answered, and almost everyone looked at this place, after all, this Wang Mazi also said what everyone wanted.
It's just that few people think of this, and it's dark again, and it's not safe to go back with war horses or other loot, but if Wang Mazi succeeds in making trouble, the rest of them who don't have war horses may have other thoughts.
"What's the noise? What for? Zheng Jianjun hadn't left yet, when he heard such a shout at this moment, he immediately came up directly with the seven or eight guards who stayed behind, and when he heard the aggrieved quartermaster say this, he immediately laughed angrily, and then glanced at Wang Mazi and asked, "Do you want to take these war horses back to Datong to sell them to merchants outside the mouth?" ”
"I don't care what kind of official you are, you Qin Jun can say that you love the people like a son, so why is it unfair to do business? You said you had a good estimate of 60 taels, why did you give me 20 taels? Wang Mazi didn't know what kind of official Zheng Jianjun was, anyway, he recognized one, the two horses he grabbed were worth 60 taels, and Qin Jun gave too little, so he didn't agree to sell them.
"You're a civilian in the army, aren't you? Since you say so, that's very good, come on, take it down for me, and punish it as a collaborator! Zheng Jianjun didn't have the time to explain anything to him, for this kind of person, he had to cut through the mess quickly, as for explaining afterwards, who would explain it to a dead man.
"Our Qin army took his life to create a superior life guarantee for you in front, defeated the Mongolian Tartars, you went up to pick up the ready-made, and gave a silver reward, but you are a person who has no king and no father, and you actually say wildly that you want to sell to merchants outside the mouth, this is a traitor to the enemy, come on, pull me out and behead it directly, the head is hung in Yuanmen, and a notice is posted to warn every man who comes to send horses, and immediately send people back to Datong and any of my Daqin's borders, dare to sell booty without permission, and there will be no forgiveness~!"
Zheng Jianjun ordered loudly, how can there be such a good thing in this world? If you can give them silver, it is the kindness of King Qin, how can you do it if you don't govern the people ruthlessly? Aren't the millions of soldiers of the Qin army going to be wronged?
So a few soldiers who listened to the order immediately went up and dragged Wang Mazi, who was still proud just now, directly outside the camp gate, and directly raised the knife in his hand...... (To be continued.) )
