Chapter 80: The Deliberations Are Completed
When Wen Chou asked like this, there was no one in the hall who put forward a contradictory opinion.
"So, let's talk about the disposition of these captives! After all, counting the original hundreds of people, there are nearly 3,000 people! Just feeding them is a problem! Wen Chou continued.
"If it is in normal times, our township cracks so many thieves, we will definitely get a lot of rewards from the county court, and we don't have to worry about the prisoner problem, we have the county officials above! But now that the dynasty is collapsing, the people are not living, and most of the Montenegrin army is watching the county dynasty, and they can't control our petty fights! But it's bitter for me to wait! "When the king of Xiangzuo heard this, he had a stomach full of bitter water to arrive! Without him, it was just that the hundreds of prisoners before were entrusted to him, so that he did not tremble and walk on thin ice for a day!
"Hehe, Chong Zhi's words are wrong, today's county dynasty, family and country are in crisis, and we need to solve problems for it! Fang Xian waits for the country and the people. This is a good act! It's just a lot of work, why worry about it! Wen said with a smile.
"What Wen Jun taught me is that it is contemptible and full of complaints, which is out of place!" Wang Chong was also frank, thought for a while, and immediately admitted his mistake. made Wen Chou look at him.
"In that case, you are responsible for the previous captives, tell me what you have learned, so that you can teach me to think carefully about the more feasible way!" Wen Chou continued to speak to Wang Chong.
"Actually, the lower officials don't have much experience to say, they are all cautious according to Wen Jun's previous explanations, but now they can report to Wen Jun one or two, the performance and everything of these captives in the past four or five months." Wang Chong said cautiously.
"Okay, let's hear it."
"First of all, the response of these captives to the restoration of their good land after a year of hard labor was mediocre, and it did not have the expected effect, and they did not appreciate Dade's words for this, of course, after three or four months of tempering, they also had a yearning for the living conditions of their own country; Secondly, the captives were not very reluctant to servitude! As long as the food is full, of course, we only give them the same treatment as homeless people; Besides, there are many thieves who want to leave their families in the mountains, but this is not something I can solve. Wang Chong said eloquently. Not only did he talk about the behavior of the captives, but he also told him about the cause of this phenomenon.
"So, these captives don't accept my affection anymore?" Wen Chou smiled bitterly. Originally, according to his thoughts, these thieves must have chosen the path of last resort, and they must have wanted to return to the life of good people! What I didn't expect was that these thieves might have been extremely disappointed in this dark Han Empire, and they came to such a point of no return! Of course, for these thieves, they are good citizens, and they can't be fed and clothed!
"In that case, there is no need to restore them to their good origins, and why not make them slaves?" It was Sima Jiang Xuan who said this. After all, he came from a family, and he is deeply aware of these thieves.
"It's not proper, after all, most of these people are native villagers from near and far, I'm afraid that most of them are coerced by those thieves at the beginning, I should wait for them to get out of the sea of suffering, instead of suppressing them again!" Shuzuo Chen Ning retorted. He was born in poverty, and he knows the helplessness of the poor people! So it's mostly for the sake of the cold people.
"Well, what Mingzhi said is good, besides, there are dozens of thieves and thieves in the county now, which has caused the number of good people in the county to drop by one-fifth! Even in the four counties and eight townships near us, the number of people has been greatly reduced, and we should guide people to goodness, so that they will return to our ranks, and it will be a merit! Wen Chou said happily. In his planning, these thieves are one of his sources of soldiers, and he can't let them go!
"In this case, these captives will still be dealt with according to the original law?" Wang Chong listened to Wen Chou's words and asked cautiously.
"Well, since there is no good way, it has to be like this. But this time, you have to be strictly guarded, and you can't teach chaos! In addition, the problem of family members in the mountains will be solved by myself. When Wen Chou saw that he hadn't discussed any good methods, he set the tone.
After discussing two major events in a row, Wen Chou's bamboo slip on his side had not been opened. For it is recorded the distribution of the money and food, and the rewards and punishments of the people. Then it was the turn of these things, and everyone in the hall was obviously a lot excited. There are those who are restless, there are those who are safe, there are those who are ruddy, and there are those who breathe heavily, in short, everyone behaves differently, but they are all looking forward to what will happen next.
"Okay, let's discuss the disposal of this proceeds this time!" Wen Chou said with a long sigh of relief.
Finally ushered in the ** part! The atmosphere in the hall was naturally different from the previous dullness, and everyone scrambled to speak with the ugly words! It's quite lively.
"These 6,000 stone refined grains should be divided into 5,000 to cope with the current situation of the displaced people who are hungry!" Xiangzuo Wang Chong was the first to speak.
"Five thousand is too much! As far as I know, there isn't much food stored on the peach forest! Besides, this matter must be replenished! Don't be disgraced to a soldier! Dong Jiang fought for the Taolin Sai soldiers.
"The horses, armor, etc. are all in charge of the plug, which is needless to say!" Sima Jiang declared.
"Armor, when there is a part, after all, no one knows when, the thieves will bypass the plug and disturb the township! Plug it up and take most of it! A subordinate official said with palpitations.
"It turns out that the inferior horses in the army can be evenly distributed and organize the villagers." You Liu Zhong said.
"Horse meat is to improve the food for the soldiers!" Yan Liang said.
"Four hundred horse corpses, even four thousand stone essence grain, can't be compared, and you can't take so much on the plug."
"Horse meat processing still needs to rely on the villagers, so naturally we have to charge some!"
Although these trophies were all fought down by the Taolin Army, if it were not for the full support of the villagers, Taolin Sai would not have this result! It can be said that nowadays, Shahe Township and Taolinsai are each other's inside and outside. Therefore, only one of these subordinate officials in Shahe Township dared to compete with Jiang Xuan, Dong Jiang, Yan Liang and other members of the Taolin Sai Military Department!
Wen Chou is also happy like this, which also effectively suppresses the momentum of the Taolin soldiers, so that they will not be overly proud and do not know the height of the sky!
This discussion has really touched everyone's bottom line! They all quarreled for a horse, a stone of grain, and a pair of armor, and they didn't want to give in! This says that the sergeant is the protection of the villagers and should not be neglected; The one who said that the villagers were the cornerstone of the sergeants, how could they be treated badly? It's a big debate.
In the end, Wen Chou made a final statement after comprehensive consideration in front of the excited crowd in the hall!
Shahe Township shared: 4,500 stones of fine grain, 600 knives, 50 horse corpses, 30 inferior horses, and all damaged armor! Wait.
Tao Lin Sai shared: 1,500 stones of fine grain and 1,500 knives. 356 horse corpses, 105 war horses, and a number of armored bows! Wait.
Among them, the horse carcass and damaged armor were disposed of by the township.
This time, although it does not satisfy everyone, it is relatively fair.
"Ahem, the next thing is to wait for your reward for this merit!" Wen Chou didn't care about the two sides who were still looking at each other unpleasantly in the hall, coughed lightly, and said.
"Ahh Although this is all expected, when it comes, I can't help but be happy.
Wen Chou opened a roll of bamboo slips again, glanced at it slightly, and said: "In this incident, Sima Jiang Xuandang of the Taolin Army is the first meritorious, and today he will be rewarded with a good horse, a hundred refining swords, five catties of gold, and three silk cloths to commend his merits." Do you have any objections? "After all, Jiang Xuan is already the number two person in the army, and his position cannot be rewarded, so he can only supplement it in terms of property.
"No objections."
Jiang Xuan came to the hall, saluted respectfully to Wen Chou, and thanked: "Thank you, captain!" ”
Dong Jiang, the former head of the Taolin Army, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and participated in several major battles with me, which should be a second merit! Today, he was rewarded with a hundred refining knives, a pound of gold, and a piece of silk cloth, and he was promoted to the length of a song, with a rate of 200 people, in order to commend his merits. Do you have any objections? ”
"Qu Chang?" This time, everyone was in a sensation, which shows that this incident is not only to make up for the gap in casualties, but also to expand the army!
"What, what's the problem?" Wen Chou laughed.
"No objections."
Dong Jiang had already come to the hall excitedly, bowed to the ground and said, "Jiang, Xie Wenjun appreciates!" "This is self-proclaimed, and in the name of Wen Jun, he has thanked Wen Chou, and he regards himself as a general of Wen Chou, not a subordinate of the Taolin Army!
"The team led Liu Qing, inspected the enemy in the autumn, and killed the enemy bravely, again, rewarded him with a hundred refining knives, gold eight taels, half a silk cloth, and promoted him to the head of Santun Tun, leading 100 people, in order to commend his merits. Do you have any objections? ”
"Shuzuo Chen Ning, with the army has a lot of merit and the ability to control the whole army's money and food, again, he is specially rewarded with a sword, two catties of gold, and a silk cloth to commend his merits!
"Tun Chang Tieqian, Yan Liang, and Wen Ba, or have meritorious service in guarding the fortress, or have achievements in capturing thieves, or have the power to resist the enemy, and again, they will be rewarded with a hundred refining knives and eight taels of gold respectively, in order to commend their merits!"
"Xiangzuo Wang Chong, hard work, overview of the township, again, a pound of gold, half a horse of silk cloth, in order to commend his merits."
"Litian Zhang Sheng, the people have work, again, reward him with eight taels of gold and half a horse of silk cloth to commend his merits."
Then Wen Chou read the names of several subordinate officials in the township, and gave them certain rewards! Everyone came out one by one to bow and obey, thank you, and it was no problem.
In the end, Wen Chou breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You Liu Zhong, strong to protect the people, and have the merit of aiding the plug, today I will give him a good horse, a hundred refining knives, two catties of gold, and two silk cloths to thank him for his high morality!" "Everyone else is a 'reward', but Liu Zhong is a 'gift', which shows that Wen Chou attaches great importance to him!
Liu Zhong hurriedly lined up and thanked: "Thank you Wenjun." "It's not much, but the respect is already overflowing!
Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Zhong in the hall with some envy.
In this way, the whole reward matter has been successfully completed, and everyone has benefited! Then he talked about some trivial things, and he was very friendly.
By the time the crowd had dispersed, it was already twilight! This 'conference' was held for a day!
