On the third day, although Zhang Hongbin wanted to get up at six o'clock in the morning, he was still too tired, and his fifteen-year-old body could not bear such heavy work. When I opened my eyes, it was already around seven o'clock in the morning, but fortunately, the biological clock still had some energy left.

After a simple wash, he came to the county yamen of Baishui County. Here, hundreds of his soldiers were already waiting in line.

"I'm late, I'm waiting for you, I apologize to everyone!" Zhang Hongbin solemnly bowed and apologized to all the soldiers.

At this moment, everyone's time seemed to stop, and not only the soldiers, but even the gentry and common people watching around them also fell into a stupor.

Who would have thought that as the leader of a gang of anti-thieves, he would apologize to his little brother in front of everyone?

"Grandpa, this thief is so useless, how can he be the boss and bow to the younger brother?" He Yinglong's grandson, He Ling, laughed.

"No, no, you shouldn't look at things that way, an army can only become a good army if it rewards and punishes well. In normal times, the thief called redemption is their boss, not to mention, now that he has gathered everyone as the commander, he is late, if he ignores this matter, will other officers do the same in the future? And the soldiers below, will there be resentment in their hearts? On the contrary, if he is like this, the soldiers' hearts will be moved, and the hearts of the people will not only not disperse, but will be more cohesive. The most important thing is that he, who is a marshal, is like this, but those officers can't be at ease. "He Yinglong is also from a good background, and his vision is much more powerful than many people, even the county commander Ma Yu.

"But grandpa, they are thieves, if they become a division of a hundred battles, it may not be a good thing for the court, right?" He Ling continued to ask.

"Indeed, they will only cause headaches for the imperial court. But you forgot about it, we signed an agreement with him...... At this point, we can only hope that he will become stronger and stronger, otherwise once the army is defeated and the officers and soldiers take out our agreement in his hands, we will also suffer at that time. He Yinglong smiled bitterly.

He Ling didn't continue to speak, just nodded silently.

"Brothers, as I said before the battle, if you follow the orders and act in unison according to the plan, you are brothers who are recognized by me. Now you are standing, after three days of temptation, you can still maintain your true heart, you are my worthy brothers for salvation!

My redemption assures you that I will not treat you badly to all my brothers, and that I will not limit you to what heights you can reach. Those who died in this operation will become our martyrs, and their families are martyrs, and we will not let a martyr's family be wronged, nor will we let a martyr's family starve and be cold! I solemnly promise that the families of the martyrs will receive a generous pension, and at the same time, I will support the children of the martyrs until they are 16 years old!

Well, let's not talk about those sad things. Leave aside the waste that has been turned into wild beasts, and all of you here are the heroes of my salvation army. I will never be mean to the heroes. Come on, bring things up! After Zhang Hongbin apologized briefly, he began to get to the point.

After a while, a few soldiers carried up a few boxes. Under Zhang Hongbin's order, the boxes were opened one after another, revealing the gold and silver treasures inside.

"Since you are all my brothers, then you are soldiers of my salvation army, and since you are soldiers, then you will naturally have a salary. Now it is wartime, so your salary will be doubled, and even if many of you are only reserve soldiers, each of you will have a monthly salary of five pieces of silver, and now it is one or two pieces of silver a month. At the same time, according to what I told you earlier, all the seizures shall be handed over, but one percent of them shall be your reward. Some of the gold and silver treasures in a few chests are your military pay this month, and the other part is your reward this time. As for the issue of seizures, you can inquire with hundreds of households in Dingguo, all of them are public, and it is clear how much has been seized at a glance, so naturally you will not be greedy for the seizures that belong to you! Zhang Hongbin pointed to the box and said to all the soldiers.

"Long live the young master!" Everyone understood that Zhang Hongbin was going to send silver, so they couldn't hide the joy in their hearts and shouted one after another.

"Alright, brothers, according to the roster, come up and receive the reward!" Zhang Hongbin shouted.

In the process of receiving the money, Zhang Hongbin was the first to distribute the corresponding silver to the five hundred households (Wang Er, Liu Ruoqi, Li Dingguo and Tie Niu, together with the hundred households that Zhang Hongbin also held), and then these five hundred households sent the money to their soldiers. Zhang Hongbin is still using the military system of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, because everyone is familiar with this military system, and firearms have not yet been used on a large scale, so there is no need to redivide.

At this moment, there are 700 people under Zhang Hongbin's command, but there are 200 personal soldiers under the name of the 100 households he leads. Liu Ruoqi was good at commanding crossbowmen, so he led a force of 200 crossbowmen, and the other three only had 100 men under his command each. It is worth mentioning that the 100 soldiers of the Iron Bull are the baggage troops.

The process of sending money is beautiful, but it is too long, and before you know it, it is past noon.

But the soldiers got their share of money, which would have taken them five or six years to save. At this moment, they suddenly felt that it seemed to be a good soldier as well. And this idea is not only for them, but also for many young people among the surrounding onlookers.

It is said that good men should not be soldiers, but the system of the Ming Dynasty was too bad, not to mention that soldiers were deducted from their salaries, and they had to make cattle and horses for their commanders. Many of the military households in the guard house said that they were a group of soldiers, but in fact they were just tenants under the names of officers, and their lives were even more miserable than those of the peasants. If such people can expect them to win a big battle, then it is really a miracle.

No, in the later period, the Ming Dynasty switched to the recruitment system, thinking that it was no longer believed in the combat effectiveness of the guards, but the rules of the ancestors could not be changed, so they could only continue to raise these wastes. The military salaries that were sent down were drifted away layer by layer, and finally the soldiers and officers did not think it was bloody and drank it happily.

After sending the money, Zhang Hongbin said that the whole army had a half-day holiday, of course, not all of them, but divided into three batches, each batch can relax in Baishui County for a period of time, and then come back and take turns with the next batch. Zhang Hongbin had promulgated the military law earlier, that is, all things must be given money to be given, and you can't rob other people's things like robbers.

However, now they have military salaries and rewards, and it is not bad to buy a piece of cloth for the mother-in-law of the family, and the clothes on her body have been worn for three or four years.

With a beautiful vision, the soldiers began their wonderful shopping time. The merchants were naturally very happy to see that the soldiers did not force them to buy and sell, did not rob their goods, bought things and paid them back, and did not blackmail them. For most of the day, these more than 600 soldiers and nearly 700 soldiers have made the merchants of Baishui County a profit that can only be earned for at least half a year, and they are very happy in their hearts.

Behind these shops are the gentry of Baishui County, and of course there are also people from other places. At this moment, they are also very happy, if it is like this for a long time, it is not bad under Zhang Hongbin's rule, but they have to pay taxes every year, and they are always a little uncomfortable.

"These three crops can really yield seven or eight stones per mu? And, really, won't pick a place? Ma Yu looked at the three crops in front of him with great cherishment.

These three crops are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, all of which are systematically produced, and after a long period of selection, there is no need to doubt that the yield is high and the taste is good.

"Just send someone to try planting, in fact, if I were you, I should use the government's order to force the local people to plant this crop. Anyway, if you don't pick a place, you can plant it in a barren place, no matter what, it's better to have a little harvest than no harvest, right? Also, since you are on my ship, you have to know a little bit about government affairs and criminal law, you can hire at most one master, and you have to accept our supervision, no matter how much you don't expect, even if the amount we give you is much higher than what the court gives! Zhang Hongbin said eloquently.

"This ...... The official knew...... "Ma Yu really can't be hard in front of Zhang Hongbin's eyes."

I signed with Zhang Hongbin, and I have a handle in the hands of the other party, and I can't do it if I can't think about it. On the bright side, he is still an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he finally managed to defend the hero of Baishui County. In fact, he was Zhang Hongbin's person, and he also received a salary from Zhang Hongbin. It's just that what he hopes more is that Zhang Hongbin will return the contract to him...... After all, on Zhang Hongbin's side, his income is supervised, and some means of making money are now useless.

It may be more than before, but the actual income has shrunk by more than 30%, and this day is really unbearable.

complained in his heart, but Ma Yu still carefully accepted the three crops and the manual that needs to be paid attention to when planting. No matter how many days Zhang Hongbin's gang of thieves can survive, as long as these three crops are really so magical, then he may not be able to obtain a rich political achievement.

If you're lucky, maybe you can be promoted, leave this ghost place, and continue to be free!

No matter what kind of caution Ma Yu had in his heart, Zhang Hongbin couldn't control it at the moment, seeing that the sky was already dark again, he couldn't help but feel that there was too little time.

Tomorrow, he will leave Baishui County with his men and horses, as he said before, he is here as if to provide a target for the Ming army, just spread the name of Shouyi, there is no need to be wiped out by the army of the imperial court in order to continue to bear the name of Shouyi.

However, before leaving, he will not collect a batch of taxes in the villages and townships under the jurisdiction of Baishui County, after all, there are still many gentry classes below!

At the same time, in the He Mansion, He Yinglong was calling his little grandson He Ling over.

He Ling is only sixteen years old this year, but he has a profound family knowledge, and he originally planned to train him to become a new lifter, but now He Yinglong has changed his mind.

"Ling'er, tomorrow, you go to the King of Redemption and become a civil servant by his side!" He Yinglong said to He Ling very calmly.

"Grandpa, this ......" As soon as he heard this decision, He Ling's whole person was directly stunned.
