Chapter 351: Lady Zhaode
Three days later, the war report came, Qin Hui won a great victory, beheaded 30,000 enemies, captured more than 5,000 people, and at this time had arranged for some people to escort the captives to the border city, Qin Hui personally commanded the army, directly swept the grassland tribes, and now has invaded the territory of Tsarist Russia 500 li, the Tsar of Tsarist Russia has sued for peace, willing to exchange prisoners of war, and redeem the remaining prisoners of war, compensate Liang for the loss of ten tons of gold, fifty tons of silver, jewelry, furs and other valuables worth three million taels.
Qin Hui had a lot of thoughts about this matter, and happily informed the officials that the matter of compensation needed to be discussed. This time, Pearl personally followed Qin Hui to the battlefield, and during the negotiation, Pearl spoke fluent Russian and didn't even need a translator, and in the end, Tsarist Russia doubled the compensation it wanted.
And Qin Hui's army swept through the steppe, and received even more finances, without him, when Genghis Khan dominated the Eurasian continent and collected countless treasures of various countries, gold and silver. Pearl left her husband gold and silver and ordinary gold and silver utensils and inferior treasures, but she got all the precious treasures into the space. Gold, silver and jade, antiques, Ming calligraphy and paintings, as well as a variety of large diamonds and chrysoberyls, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, malachite, topolite, opals, lapis lazuli, amethyst, demantoid garnet and amber.
What Pearl got this time was enough to install a two-story building and more than a dozen warehouses. This war was not really won until a few years ago, and the various departments of the steppe plus the Tsarist side would not be able to attack Daliang for at least ten years. The pearl got five times more treasures this time than the emperor gave last time, and the gold and silver pearls did not ask for gold and silver. Because the court needs it more, everyone is staring at it! There is no benefit in fighting, who can block the mouths of those adults for Qin Hui, who can appease the hearts of the people, as long as the pearls are good, the remaining treasures and gold and silver copied from the grassland and Tsarist Russia are transported to the capital of Daliang one by one, and the people can watch it! Pearl got a box of pearls of the night, three colors, the size of a dozen pigeon's eggs, and three fist-sized. The rest are smaller than pigeon eggs. But there are enough of them, there are more than 30 of them, large and small, which is very amazing. Although the pearl already has a night pearl. But these are also reluctant to give. Hehe!
This time the pearl got fifty boxes of pearls. Only the third-class ones were left for the emperor, and the first- and second-class ones combined were only ten boxes, and the others also included more than thirty boxes of coral beads, jade, and precious stones. Curiosities and antiques are even more. There are a lot of books, calligraphy and paintings, because the people of the grassland don't take this seriously at all, and the people of Yidi don't look down on this thing. Bronze, jade, gold, all kinds of swords and swords, pearls have not been spared.
The rest of the things that can't be looked down on will be given to Qin Hui. In this war, all the gold and silver were not spent, but in the future, it was necessary to build cities, pacify the people, compensate the soldiers, and reward meritorious deeds. Only once, Pearl took his special forces to attack one of the large tribes, and Pearl took the opportunity to select a lot of treasures, this tribe even had gold and silver, that was because they had gold and silver mines in this place, and Pearl got the gold and silver that had been refined, just to make up for the cost of going to sea. The cost of shipbuilding is huge now, and with these gold and silver, it is all solved, and it can also solve the experience he promised to his subordinates. In this way, Pearl's subordinates are even more loyal, and they have candy to eat with their masters!
Back then, Genghis Khan swept almost half of the world, collected countless treasures, and all tribes were very wealthy, but now it has only been a few decades, and their children and grandchildren can't spend it! Now it is to make the Great Liang Dynasty rich, but these people also have to eat, so Qin Hui's army went back, but the tens of thousands of troops left behind, while clearing the rebels, while distributing food, among their tribes, choose capable people to be the leaders, and agreed, the imperial court will send a grain team every half a month, they can use sheepskins, cowhide boxes and beast skins for the food they need, salt, cloth and other daily necessities, the price is fair. You can also use cattle and sheep in exchange, the Central Plains, until now, still eat beef and mutton, and there are still few people who eat pork. So they need cattle and sheep, and even more so cattle and horses. Of course, they also proposed that it was okay if the milk powder was sold. This is the credit of pearls, in the time of Genghis Khan, milk powder was invented, so it is simply better to get milk powder to make snacks.
In this battle, the pearl people have already listed the losses and gains of the imperial court in a scroll half a meter wide and twenty meters long. Of course, Pearl was very careful to count the gold and silver he invested in as a loan from the imperial court, and finally calculated, these gold and silver plus the jewelry, deducting the gold and silver borrowed from Pearl, deducting the pension and post-war reconstruction funds, the imperial court earned a total of 357 million taels of silver this time, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Lord Qin Hui felt that a national medical system should be established, cultivate talents, and use these silver to buy more medicinal materials outside.
Now the adults in the household department are like their own family has made a fortune, and they are happy all day long, even if their subordinates are wrong, they also smile and slap them, and let them change it. It's beautiful.
The imperial court's grand court, everyone heard this exciting news, and the emperor was also very happy! With so much money, it is estimated that he can squander it to death. It's a pity that after going to court, he found that there were too many people who had the same idea as him.
"Your Majesty, there are many palaces in the harem that have not been renovated for many years......"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry ...... there"
"Your Majesty, there is still a gap in the southern armament......"
Emperor:......
Everyone turned around and left without saying a word, and all the adults didn't know why, someone asked Xu Baojing, the first assistant of the cabinet, "My lord, ...... the emperor?"
Xu Baojing looked back at Gao Wenbin, who asked him, then looked at others, and said, "You are like this, just like an explosive household, if you have some money, you will first calculate how to spend it, don't you need to ask the emperor first?" What did he think? What's more, this battle is over, but have you seen the list of meritorious soldiers? How to reward? Are you promoted or not? How can you praise it? There are gains and losses in this battle, shouldn't we discuss it in detail? As soon as he went to court, he reached out and asked for money, how could there be a little ...... Hey, I originally thought that the emperor could repair a book that integrates ancient and modern ......"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, no one said anyone, the court is a little crazy now, normally speaking, the army must be sacrificed, and then the emperor praises, but Qin Hui exchanged the captives with the other party's soldiers of their beams, so there are no prisoners.
Speaking of which, on the battlefield, they also saved a lot of prisoners on their side! At first, everyone didn't understand, and they all said that they would come in and kill the prisoners, or put them in the stable, but the generals said to their men, "You don't have a brain!" Will you settle the account, a prisoner can be exchanged for one of our soldiers, how much can it cost to save a prisoner, one of our soldiers is worth twenty taels of gold, you fool. ”
In this way, everyone understood that the treatment of these prisoners of war was very good, and the food was good, there was porridge, there was minced meat, and it was almost good, and they were given mutton from the grassland, and they were also given cakes, accompanied by vegetables, and they were given soup and tonic soup, and they were boiled with chicken, which was very delicious.
On the one hand, he was resolute in saving his life, and on the other hand, he was trembling from the beginning, and later he was grateful to Dade, and this act of rescuing the captives directly affected Qin Hui's activities in restoring the grassland tribes. Although these tribes do not have the spies sent by the Great Liang Dynasty, they send caravans every month, which is no different from surveillance, but now the people on the grassland will not care about this, and they can survive.
Qin Hui's victory, the story on the battlefield, various versions were popular in the Great Liang Dynasty, especially the magical legend of Mrs. Qin's husband-saving behavior and leading her subordinates to kill the Quartet, which made the people talk about it.
Qin Hui took his generals to the capital to resume his life, although there were no prisoners, but the gold and silver of the first were entered into the household, and now Qin Hui took the majestic soldiers, escorting a car load of heavy jewelry treasures, mighty, but much more majestic than offering prisoners, this time it was a big victory, the emperor ordered, exempt from taxes for three years. The whole country celebrated, and when these treasures were sent to the palace, the women in the palace were very happy. Qin Hui did not present the list of prisoners of war, and the first thing he presented was not the list of generals who should be promoted, but gave the emperor a brocade box, which turned out to be the jade seal of the country, for a while, the entire hall was boiling, the emperor even said yes, the excited look could not be concealed, it took a long time to recover, the originally written holy decree was put aside, orally announced, let people draw up the decree on the spot, seal Qin Hui as the Duke of Zhenguo, the eldest son Qin Deying prepared military funds, appeased the local meritorious service, promoted to the household of the four products Langzhong, named the prince of Zhenguo, the Duchess of Zhenguo Liu, both talent and morality, super quality Mrs. Command, specially given the title 'Zhaode', to meet the queen mother and the queen concubine do not kneel.
This is already a great courtesy, in fact, the Duchess of the Kingdom salutes the concubines in the palace, that is, the concubines and above kneel down, and the other concubines are bowed, which still refers to the nine concubines. Now it's good, in addition to saluting the queen mother and the queen, others don't need her to be expensive, it's really good, and when other concubines die, she won't have to kneel and cry, it's really good. But Pearl didn't go back at all this time, first, she made a lot of effort this time, she slept in the open, she hadn't rested for a long time, and besides, it was easy to get along with her sons, so she wasn't willing to join in the fun!
Pearl returned to Zhuangzi, Kong and Qin Min came, although Pearl looked happy, but also a lot haggard, Pearl was not strong, some a few prescriptions, let the people under the head do it. When it was time for dinner, Kong specifically mentioned the matter of medicinal diet, she was here in Pearl, and she had eaten no less than forty or fifty kinds of medicinal diet, all of which were very useful, Pearl smiled and told her, next time she sorted it out, got a complete recipe for medicinal diet, gave her a copy, and left a copy for several daughters-in-law in the future, and then said to Qin Min,
"Of course the eldest lady has it."
Qin Min smiled, her eyes were shining, she had long heard that her mother was showing her might on the battlefield, she now attaches more importance to martial arts and the art of war, and Pearl is also on the rise, and at night while playing with the child, she will talk to Qin Min about the story on the battlefield, of course, it is not only the story, but also the strategy, it is the preparation that she changed before the accident, and the attitude she changed on the spot. When it comes to the three children sleeping, this is the end, but tomorrow I still have to say that Pearl can't survive her, so I have to agree. (To be continued.) )
