Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yang, thirty taels of silver!" It's equivalent to three years of our military salary! Moreover, these are all real money, and most of our military salaries are converted in kind, and the money that we really have in hand is not so much at all. I won't hide it from you, brother, I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've seen so many valuable things. ”

"Physical conversion? What do you mean? Yang Heqi said.

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly: "Even when the salary is paid, it is not all silver, but more than half of it is in kind, such as grain, cloth, salt, etc., and these things are converted into silver money as military salaries." ”

Hearing this, Yang He groaned: "Redeem money in kind? Is the court even out of money for military salaries? ”

Zhang Shun shook his head: "Who knows, anyway, every time the military salary is issued, it is said that there is no money, and if it is urgent, it will be paid with grain, cloth, cotton and linen, or salt." ”

"If it's one of these things, it's fine, after all, everyone can use them." Yang He said.

Zhang Shun shook his head: "What can I do, the physical goods issued by the imperial court may not be what we need, for example, the military salary is distributed with cloth this time, but what we need at home may be food or other things, so we can only sell the cloth to buy food or other things."

At first glance, there is no problem, but in reality it is not like that at all.

Because the things issued by the imperial court are converted into silver according to the market price, sometimes even higher than the market price, if we sell things at this price, who will buy it? So it can only be sold at a reduced price. In this way, it is equivalent to a decrease in our military salary.

Yang He nodded lightly and sighed in his heart: The army is the pillar of the country, and the Ming Dynasty actually used this way to pay soldiers, how can soldiers have the heart to serve the country.

Waving his hand, Yang He said, "Give these things to the brothers." ”

Zhang Shun nodded, and began to select the things on the kang, and after a while, Zhang Shun suddenly stopped and said: "These things were exchanged for Brother Yang's life, since Brother Yang wants to share them with everyone, then Brother Yang will share them himself." ”

Yang He was about to say that everyone was the same, but suddenly found that everyone's eyes were staring at the kang, and there was greed in their eyes.

Yang He followed everyone's gaze and saw that something in the jewelry pile was faintly shining.

Yang He stretched out his hand to hold the object in his hand, but it was a woman's hairpin, and the top of the hairpin was inlaid with a bead the size of a dragon's eye. The beads are crystal clear and glow softly in the light of candlelight.

Although Yang He doesn't understand jewelry, he also knows that this bead is very valuable.

immediately understood why Zhang Shun suddenly did not divide things, he was afraid that it would be unevenly divided, which would cause dissatisfaction among everyone. And let Yang He divide it, even if someone has less share, there will be no complaints. Because these things were brought by Yang He, it is love to share them with everyone, and it is not their duty to divide them.

After thinking about it, Yang He smiled and said: "I'm afraid that this distribution will be uneven, this uneven distribution of spoils is going to be a problem, let's not make the brothers discord over this little money." ”

Everyone chuckled at the same time.

Yang He smiled and continued: "I don't think we will divide it for the time being, and when we go back, we will find a place to sell it, and then divide the money, what does Brother Zhang think?" ”

"It's as my brother wants." Zhang Shun let out a long breath.

Yang He threw the hairpin back on the kang: "Brother Zhang, you are the eldest brother, the brothers can trust you, and you will keep these things." ”

Zhang Shunwei hesitated, immediately responded, and then quickly put the things into the blanket.

Tie the mouth of the jacket tightly around his waist, Zhang Shun patted it lightly and said: "Brother Yang handed over these things to me for safekeeping, that is trustworthy Zhang, Zhang is here to assure the brothers that if these things are shorter and less than a penny, the surname Zhang will be thundered five times the day in the future, and he will not die well." ”

When everyone heard this, they said:

"Brother Zhang is serious."

"Brother Zhang, brothers can trust you."

……

Zhang Shun waved his hand to stop everyone from talking: "Brothers, you have also seen that this money was all obtained by Brother Yang, and Brother Yang also went deep into the camp of Jianyu to kill six Jianguo, and even set fire to Jianyu's forage, which is far from enough." ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "What Brother Zhang said is true." ”

Zhang Shun continued: "Brother Yang's future is limitless, and we brothers may have to follow Brother Yang in the future, so from now on, I decided to mix with Brother Yang." If you can trust me, then our brothers will follow Brother Yang in the future. ”

Liu Laosi smiled when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, since yesterday, I have been preparing to mess with Brother Yang." ”

Everyone laughed in unison.

Zhang Shun waved his hand: "If everyone has no opinion, then go down to the ground to worship the eldest brother." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shun got down from the kang, pressed Yang He to sit on the edge of the kang, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Yang He didn't expect Zhang Shun to come to such a play, but before he could understand it, Zhang Shun had already kowtowed three times.

Yang He hurriedly pulled Zhang Shun up and said: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing, why don't you understand anything when my brother first comes, and I am relying on Brother Zhang's support, how can I afford it?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled: "I can afford it, I can afford it." If you don't understand, you can learn, and your brothers will help you. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shun pressed Yang He back to sit on the edge of the kang, and everyone on the kang knelt down and kowtowed.

Yang He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, and at the same time felt heavy in his heart.

Yang He knew that these people were also in a desperate situation, and what he did that day made them feel that they were their last straw, so they had to hold on to it.

It's just that they have no other means to catch themselves, so they can only use this way of gangsters to express their hearts.

And if you are kowtowed to them, you can't leave them, or you will be spurned in the future.

But will you be able to live up to their expectations? Yang He sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't know anything about this era, how easy was it to get ahead?

And the current difficulty has not passed, Yang He believes that Jian Yu has burned the forage, and he will definitely search for the arsonist, or it will not be long before Jian Yu will search here.

Sighing softly, Yang He said: "Brothers, get up, let's talk about things slowly in the future, the top priority is to leave here immediately, everyone pack up and set off immediately." ”

The crowd answered, got up from the ground, and began to pack their things.

After a while, everyone packed up and stopped, and then quickly left the bunker.

Soon after leaving the gate, they only heard the faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a row of fires in the distance. Everyone's hearts sank: It's coming so fast! Immediately, everyone looked at Yang He in unison.

Yang He looked up at the sky, at this time the moon had turned to the west, and it would not be long before the sky would brighten.

Yang He turned his head to Zhang Shun and said, "Brother Zhang, the sky is about to dawn, this place is so empty, it is not easy to escape the search of Jianyu." I think we'll just hide under the city walls, and when the search force of Jianyu passes, let's continue walking. ”

Zhang Shun nodded: "Listen to you, you can do whatever you say." ”

Yang He nodded: "Okay, everyone lean against the city wall and squat, be careful not to make a sound." ”

After speaking, Yang He turned around and ran towards the city wall, and everyone hurriedly followed behind Yang He.

As soon as they were squatting at the base of the wall, they saw a group of cavalry in the distance galloping towards the fort with torches.

Yang He counted, there were about thirty horses, and then looked into the distance, there was no fire, and there was no sound of horses' hooves.

Yang He sneered, just because there are about thirty people, you want to arrest people? It seems that Jianyu really doesn't take Daming seriously.

After thinking about it, Yang He whispered to Zhang Shun: "Brother Zhang, you and your brothers are waiting here, and I will ambush them." ”

Zhang Shun was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Yang He and said, "No, there are so many people in Jian, it's too dangerous for you to ambush them alone." ”

Yang He smiled and said, "They are in the light, I am in the dark, what are you afraid of." You just wait and see the show. ”

After speaking, Yang He took off the bow on his back, touched the quiver again, and made a silent gesture to Zhang Shun and the others, regardless of whether Zhang Shun and the others could understand it or not, the cat bent lightly and touched the direction of the gate of the dungeon.

However, the speed of the Jianyu cavalry was extremely fast, and Yang He had not yet reached the gate of the dungeon, and the Jianlu cavalry was already approaching the dungeon.

Yang He estimated the speed of the cavalry and knew that it was too late to enter the fort at this time.

Without hesitation, Yang He quickly took out an arrow from the quiver, bent his bow and stringed, aimed at the cavalryman at the front, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the sharp arrow flew towards the face of the builder like lightning.

In fact, Yang He did not have a good grasp of this arrow, after all, Yang He was not a professional archer, he had never practiced shooting moving targets, he learned archery because some tasks may require this method.

For example, if there are guards standing tall in the target area, in order to get into the target area faster, it may be more effective to use a weapon at a moderate distance such as a bow and arrow to clear the guards than to snipe the guards with a gun from a distance.

Because the bow and arrow need to be used to perform the task, they are all pulled out at a fixed point, and the target is generally standing in a fixed position, even if it moves, it is in a small area, and the movement speed will not be very fast, so Yang He only needs to practice shooting at a fixed target.

But now Jianyu is riding on a horse and galloping forward, which is definitely a test for Yang He's archery skills.

However, Yang He didn't expect to be able to shoot this Jianlu cavalry with one arrow, so he chose the part of the face gate, his purpose was to interfere with the speed of the Jianlu cavalry, as long as he could shoot, as long as Jianlu paused for a while, he could use this time to enter the gate of the dungeon.

As long as he entered the dungeon and relied on the buildings inside the dungeon, Yang He was confident that he would ambush these captives one by one.

Although Yang He is not a special soldier, he has systematically trained in street warfare and jungle warfare, especially in actual combat experience, Yang He's level is richer than many special forces.

Of course, this is also because the number of Jianyu is not large, if there are more than 100 people, Yang He will not dare to ambush in such a small area as the dungeon.

The Jianyu cavalry never expected that at this time, there would be an ambush in such a place, Yang He's arrow hit the front door of the cavalry, and the cavalry was caught off guard and immediately fell to the ground from his horse.

The cavalryman suddenly fell off his horse, and the rest of the people were frightened and hurriedly reined in their horses.
