Chapter 24: On the Reward of Merit

The name was somewhat familiar, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he opened the letter.

The content of the letter instantly reminded Jiang Hao of the identity of this York general.

In order to stabilize each city, the kingdom will set up armies around these cities, especially such border cities, which are the focus of the kingdom's eyes.

This York general is the general stationed in Moonlight City, and he has a monopoly on power in Moonlight City, which can be regarded as a unique figure.

In this letter, it is said that Silke gave the looted goods, money, and women to General York as tribute.

The letter was full of flattery, and it seemed that Silke and General York had a deep relationship.

Now, the things these robbers did should have been instructed by General York.

Their bandit group has been extremely arrogant recently, and has even killed nobles, which is a taboo in the kingdom.

Normally, the army of Moonlight City should have known that they were going to come over to suppress the bandits.

But now there has been no movement, and Jiang Hao's speculation has basically been confirmed.

Jiang Hao's brows furrowed slightly, this was indeed not good news for him.

The news that Flower Town has destroyed this gang of robbers will inevitably spread at a very fast speed.

At that time, this General York will most likely find trouble for himself.

He quickly put these things behind him, and since he had already done them, there was no need to continue to look ahead.

The big deal is that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

At this time, the soldiers were already searching for the spoils of war, and these robbers were actually quite rich.

During this time, they also robbed a lot of places and many merchants.

Although some of them were all contributed to General York, there were also many of them.

These robbers themselves have a habit of taking their savings with them.

will become robbers, most of them no one around them already cares, so there is no need to leave these savings to anyone.

Bringing it with them is what they have always been accustomed to.

After all, the money will not be handed over until they die, and since they are dead, it is of little use to keep the money.

The total loot of all the robbers probably amounted to more than a thousand gold coins.

It is equivalent to that each robber has almost five gold coins on his body, and two of the bandit leaders have a full five hundred gold coins in their bags.

Jiang Hao has never been a stingy person, and after getting all these combat weapons, he began to reward meritorious deeds.

Since it is a reward for meritorious deeds, it is naturally the best in public.

Jiang Hao stood on top of the city wall, and below was a piece of black oppression, and the two thousand people of the entire town had already come here.

Even the elderly, who have difficulty moving, have come here with the support of their relatives.

At this moment, the faces of many townspeople also carried a kind of pride and joy that could not be concealed.

The prestige of the Silke bandits is so great that even they have heard it many times.

There are two towns nearby, which were sacked by them some time ago.

Those two towns greatly surpassed Flower Town in terms of economic strength and numbers.

But this time, the Silke bandit group actually fell here, which is indeed an exciting thing.

Many townspeople cheered Jiang Hao's name at this moment, and their loyalty also rose steadily.

The improvement of the sense of security can also greatly strengthen the town's belonging to the town, so that the town's loyalty can be increased.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defeat of these bandits this time is the credit of our brave soldiers, as well as the credit of everyone in the town, and I would like to thank you as a lord."

Jiang Hao bowed slightly to these townspeople.

And Jiang Hao's approach made those townspeople feel incredible, and there were bursts of cheers from the crowd.

You must know that nobles and commoners are two completely different classes, and Jiang Hao's approach is undoubtedly to break this barrier.

Many townspeople are particularly moved in their hearts, and their sense of belonging to the town has naturally improved.

"Since this is already a victory, it is natural that you need to be rewarded for your merits!"

"Sheriff Corey!"

Jiang Hao said angrily.

After saying this, Old Corey walked in front of Jiang Hao with proud steps.

"This time, Sheriff Cory, you have made a great contribution, you are the hero of our Flower Town, and you are hereby rewarded with a hundred gold coins."

Jiang Hao spoke slowly.

As soon as these words came out, all the townspeople let out a burst of exclamations.

What is the concept of a hundred gold coins?

An ordinary townsman may only be able to save one gold coin in five or six years, and a hundred gold coins is the income of an ordinary townsman for hundreds of years.

Even if the current old Corey retires directly, he will live a good life for the rest of his life.

When Old Corey heard this, his body trembled slightly.

He doesn't care how much it is, but this hundred gold coins and that sentence of hero are the best rewards for him.

"Thank you, Lord, please rest assured, in the future, I will definitely work harder to fulfill my duties for the sake of the town."

Old Corey said firmly, tears seemed to glisten in his eyes.

This reward for meritorious deeds continues, and for those ordinary soldiers, Jiang Hao's reward is also very generous.

For them, in addition to monetary rewards, there are also official rewards.

Of the fifty people, Jiang Hao chose a total of five squad leaders, and these five were all brave people who took the lead in the battle.

After selecting these people, Jiang Hao did not let this scene come to an end.

Looking at those excited townspeople, Jiang Hao spoke again: "In addition, Master Firodo in the blacksmith shop, two trainee blacksmiths, Captain Chuck of Farmer Management, and several outstanding farmers will also be rewarded!" ”

After Jiang Hao said this, the whole scene fell into a short silence.

But after this silence, the cheers of the townspeople were already louder.

Most of the people mentioned under the walls had blank faces.

Especially the ragged peasants, their expressions were also very surprised.

In their opinion, this kind of thing has always been unrelated to farmers like them, but who knows that it actually fell on their heads.

"You are unsung heroes, you deserve to be respected, every townsman in Flower Town is not superfluous, you can all become heroes of Flower Town!"

After these words came out, they continued to impact the inherent three views of these aborigines.

But after Jiang Hao finished speaking, bursts of applause sounded like a storm.

These applause were not only for Jiang Hao, but also for those townspeople.
