Looking at the strings of copper coins hanging in this box, Yuan Yao nodded, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

In the Han Dynasty, the main economic currency was copper coins, but there were also gold and silver transactions, most of which were still gold, and although silver was also a valuable item, it was rarely used for currency.

300,000 yuan, although it doesn't seem like much, but in comparison, a meal in a restaurant may only cost a few hundred, 300,000 yuan, and a lot.

In addition to the 300,000 copper coins, there is also a lot of grain and grass stored in this cottage, at least the 400 cottages will not be a problem to eat for half a year.

Even if he was robbed by Yuan Yao, this grain would be enough for his soldiers and horses to eat for a month.

The food crisis in the original team was also temporarily alleviated after the bandits.

With these money and food, Yuan Yao was even more bold, and ordered Ji Ling and a group of soldiers to move all the money and food, and came to Qianxian County.

Holding the seal of the county order given by Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, Yuan Yao also logically succeeded the county order of Qianxian County.

With the suppression of bandits and the grain and grass brought in advance, in a short period of time, the grain and grass crisis under Yuan Yao's hands does not have to worry, let alone 300,000 yuan, if there is no grain and grass, he can still go to the people to buy some.

And next, what Yuan Yao has to do is to train troops in Qianxian County, and at the same time probe the intelligence of the three mountain bandits.

After this battle of exterminating the mountain bandits, although these horses under Yuan Yao won a complete victory, they still exposed a lot of shortcomings.

Although these soldiers have been able to initially carry out the order and prohibition, some of them will be panicked, become afraid, and there is a phenomenon of fleeing from the battle.

This kind of thing is normal.

These soldiers of the warrior battalion, although they are known as the warrior battalion, they are only soldiers under Yuan Shu after all, and they have experienced several defeats before, just because they are veterans, so they are more tactful.

Knowing that saving their lives on the battlefield is the most important thing, as for whether this battle is won or lost, it doesn't matter much to them.

For this reason, Yuan Yao had to think of a way to solve this problem.

In fact, if you want to solve the problem of escaping, it is simple.

That is to give these soldiers some reward.

Either it is a military merit for promotion, or it is a substantial monetary reward.

Military merit, Yuan Yao currently does not have this ability, there is no way to formulate sufficiently detailed promotion regulations, and there are not many people under him, so there is no need.

But he has money, and the money he just got from the bandits is not needed for the time being, and it is just used to reward the soldiers and increase morale.

On the second day's Qianxian school ground, Yuan Yao called more than 400 people who were directly involved in the suppression of bandits to the school field to give a lecture.

At the same time, the loot obtained by the bandits yesterday was moved, and coins were scattered in public!

Yuan Yao directly took out half of the 5 baht money of 300,000 yuan, and first gave a reward of 100 yuan to each soldier who participated in the direct suppression of bandits, and at the same time, he was rewarded for meritorious deeds according to the merits of the bandits on that day.

Those who killed enough enemy troops were even rewarded with a few thousand dollars at one time, while those soldiers who escaped from the battle were punished by Yuan Yao in public, not only did they not have any rewards, but they also confiscated the rewards of the entire small team.

This reward and punishment at the same time boosted morale and at the same time gave hope to the soldiers of the Warrior Battalion.

If it weren't for the fact that the gains from the bandits this time were not much, Yuan Yao was even willing to give more money to reward his soldiers.

Only when he is given enough rewards can his subordinates follow him with all their hearts.

Sure enough, when Yuan Yao gave money one by one and rewarded the hundreds of thousands of copper coins to his soldiers, the soldiers of the warrior battalion were stunned one by one.

They have been soldiers under Yuan Shu for so many years, and when they have encountered rewards from above, there are only a handful, or even if they have, they are swallowed up by the generals.

The money that really came to them was pitiful.

Many soldiers, although they were only given a mere 100 yuan, but when they got the money, they were a little moved, and they wanted to cry.

This is the first time I have been a soldier, and I feel respected.

Although this money is small, it is the reward they received for their first expedition to suppress bandits.

Many people even began to look forward to it, because Yuan Yao promised them that from today onwards, every time they suppressed bandits, and even the spoils of war they went out to fight, they would take out a part of it and reward it to all the soldiers.

This kind of reward for meritorious deeds with real money greatly stimulated the veterans of these warrior battalions.

In the past, they followed Yuan Yao, but because of the general's order and the existence of the Tiger Fu, they had to obey Yuan Yao's dispatch.

And now, they don't think like this anymore, they are completely out of their own hearts, and they want to follow Yuan Yao, because only by following Yuan Yao can they have a bright future.

After rewarding these soldiers, Yuan Yao took 30,000 yuan alone and found Ji Ling.

At this moment, Ji Ling was in the barracks, holding a bamboo slip to read the words on it.

Yuan Yao looked at it, he didn't know the words on it, and he couldn't interject it, so he estimated that it should be a military book or something.

It was Ji Ling who took the initiative and saw Yuan Yao coming in, and quickly saluted Yuan Yao.

"Childe, why are you here? ”

When Yuan Yao rewarded his soldiers just now, Ji Ling did not go in order to avoid suspicion.

At this moment, he thought that Yuan Yao was done with the reward, so he came over to inform him.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Yao directly put the gold and silver treasures he brought on the table.

looked at Ji Ling with a concerned expression.

"General Ji Ling, I rewarded the soldiers just now, naturally I can't forget the general, these are for the general."

The rewards given by others are all directly given to money, but for Ji Ling, Yuan Yao still prepared a wooden box intimately and packed all the money, gold and silver in the box.

After all, no matter what others say, it's just a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars.

When it comes to hand, real money is very impactful.

But Ji Ling didn't need to do this, he packed it in a wooden box, which looked more atmospheric and more generous at the same time.

Although the actual money is not much, it is also a heart.

Even Ji Ling himself was quite stunned when he saw the wooden box that Yuan Yao took out.

"Childe, what are you?"

Although Ji Ling already understood Yuan Yao's intentions.

But he still didn't directly accept Yuan Yao's kindness.

"These are all things you deserve from the general, since it is a reward, it is natural that the general and the soldiers have a share!"

Ji Ling looked at Yuan Yao, stunned for a while, still a little hesitant, and did not accept Yuan Yao's kindness.

But Yuan Yao directly stuffed the wooden box into Ji Ling's arms.

"Take it."

Yuan Yao put the money in Ji Ling's arms, Ji Ling smiled awkwardly, and this time there was no excuse.
