At this moment, Liu Tai returned to Linzi smoothly, and the first thing he did was to send someone to mail Duan Ji's six dependents to Liu Cong.

In any case, Duan Ji Liu's dependents have the name of a Liaoxi Duke who was sealed by the Jin court, and it doesn't matter to Liu Tai whether Liu Cong kills him or releases him, but since he captured Duan Ji's six dependents alive, his identity is not enough, so he can only be handed over to Liu Cong to deal with.

Of course, in addition to delivering Duan Ji's six dependents to Liu Cong, Liu Tai then appeased his soldiers.

Because of Liu Tai's policy, the soldiers captured the city that did not surrender, and the local big households that resisted Liu Tai were basically captured, and the ordinary people would be let go, because the ordinary people in this era really had no money.

At the same time, because Liu Tai had already implemented the Tang Dynasty's storage system, and even on the basis of this system, he further added salt stamps for valuation, simply put, the seizures of the soldiers could be exchanged for silver stamps and then stored.

Of course, Liu Tai doesn't charge everything, to put it simply, no matter what he is, he will first harvest the handling fee of the seventh layer.

For Liu Tai's behavior, the soldiers secretly scolded Liu Tai for asking for money, but they all chose to trade.

After all, these things are not convenient to carry on the body, so it is better to change them to salt tickets for registration and storage, and then take them out when you go back.

Of course, because this kind of thing Liu Tai adheres to the principle of voluntariness, the soldiers will more or less secretly leave some exquisite small objects as their trophies.

For this, Liu Tai also turned a blind eye, you can't do things absolutely without it.

Now that he has arrived in Linzi, Liu Tai has counted the military merits of the soldiers, the promotion of the promoted officers, the award medal of the award medal, and then the reward of the salt ticket.

All in all, the reward must be in place, power, spirit, and materials, since you have worked hard with yourself, then you can't save this money.

When these rewards are finished, they have not yet been disbanded, because there are still mourning ceremonies for the sacrificed soldiers.

After all, Liu Tai can't let them fight for wealth and official positions.

At the same time, Liu Tai asked Chu Yu to dispatch all kinds of materials ordered to be produced in advance and sell them directly in the barracks.

In order to recover the large number of salt stamps issued to them smoothly, so as to avoid the impact of these salt stamps on the original normal market in Linzi.

Liu Tai said to the soldiers, "Soldiers, because of your efforts, there is peace in Qingzhou now."

Therefore, as a reward for your defense of the country, the goods here are sold to you at a special price.

Exchange salt stamps for food, bacon, dried fish, clothes, or anything else to eat and play, load them on ox carts, and take them back to reunite with your family. ”

Hearing Liu Tai's words, these soldiers were also very moved, especially the commodities that Liu Tai took out, from small grains to large livestock, and even all kinds of production props.

And Liu Tai didn't deceive them, the price at which these things were sold to them was about seven percent off compared to the market price outside, which was really a special price.

Most of these people have land to cultivate, so the price of these things is also recognized.

However, the most popular thing to sell is the printed "Book of Han".

This printed "Book of Han" is not cheap at all, and the retail price is almost fifty catties of salt stamps.

The soldiers on the battlefield are the ones who can best appreciate the status of military history, and if you want to become a military history, you must know the "Book of Han".

In fact, the threshold for familiarizing themselves with the "Book of Han" is not low, but for soldiers who want to go further, or hope that their children will go further, "The Book of Han" is a skill that they must master if they want to become a tun commander or even become a military historian.

Another book that needs to be mastered is "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which are essential books.

It's just that the "Book of Han" is mostly snatched by low-level soldiers, while the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is sought by military history or generals.

There is no way, to become a tun commander or an ordinary military historian, it is just necessary to master the skill of literacy and comprehend the program of reviving the Han family.

Therefore, familiarizing themselves with the Book of Han and understanding the greatness of the Han Dynasty is enough for them to become excellent tun commanders, centurions, or military historians.

But when military history and tun commanders want to go further, they need to master mathematics.

After all, you have already begun to lead troops, how to assign soldiers to the most efficient, what angle to flank the most comprehensive, especially the basic military formation, mathematics is indispensable.

Anyway, when Liu Tai went to master the military formation, he would master it according to the geometric figures of mathematics.

Especially for basic military formations, it is even more necessary to conform to geometric figures, because Liu Tai believes that anything powerful must first conform to aesthetic characteristics, and concise and logical geometric figures are relatively the most beautiful.

Therefore, if the non-commissioned officer wants to progress, he will learn the "Book of Han", and if the officer wants to improve, he will learn the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

It is precisely because of this learning boom that in addition to the books themselves, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., have also been purchased by soldiers who are eager to progress.

In particular, those who were ready to work "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" even bought a considerable amount of scratch paper.

Liu Tai believes that after they work mathematics, they will find that mathematics is a thing that will not be not!

Liu Tai watched the luxury goods of this era of books being snapped up by the soldiers in large quantities, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

In any case, it at least shows that the enthusiasm for learning in his army is quite high.

For Liu Tai, this wave of material sales not only avoided the soldiers from hitting the Linzi market with a large amount of hot money when they returned, which led to the rise in material prices.

At the same time, the fragile factory that he built by himself also consumed a large amount of inventory along the way, and he had new funds to expand reproduction.

In addition, for these soldiers, the property they originally looted still needed to be replaced with supplies.

There are fewer layers of middlemen, and Liu Tai endorses them, these things are cheap and good.

Compared with going back with a fluttering salt ticket, it is more face-to-face to send these supplies back with a sheep cart and ox cart.

Xi Jian, who was beside Liu Tai, watched the soldiers enter a state of shopping spree, and couldn't help but look at the place where books were sold.

Don't say it, the layers of "Book of Han" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" are still confusing to Xi Jian.

"What's wrong? Dao Emblem? Liu Tai looked at Xi Jian's gaze on these books, and couldn't help but look at Xi Jian.

"Ming Gong, Jian is just wondering how much these books cost?" Xi Jian said to Liu Tai sincerely.

When Liu Tai heard Xi Jian's words, he looked around and waved his hand to let the guards leave, so as to avoid causing the soldiers to have a psychological breakdown.

Liu Taicai said, "Then it depends on the quantity, the smaller the quantity, the more expensive it is, the quantity is really to a certain extent, how much paper is on that book, and the cost of that book is about the same!" ”

"So cheap?" When Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, he was a little incredulous, "The fifty catties of salt tickets? ”

"This is the retail price, the soldiers enjoy a seven-fold discount, it should be a thirty-five catties of salt ticket." Liu Tai said solemnly.

I am a big bleeding sale, and I will never pit my own soldiers, I really lost my life.

When Xi Jian heard this, he couldn't help but say, "A pound of salt tickets can buy the same amount of paper!" ”

"But the above knowledge counts out thirty-four catties of salt tickets, do you think the family is willing to sell them?" Liu Tai said with a smile.

Xi Jian wanted to fight a few words when he heard Liu Tai's words, but in the end he sighed helplessly and said:

"If it weren't for the troubled times, don't say that you want to sell your home school, I'm afraid that I won't be able to ask for a study place for a thousand catties of salt tickets!"

"That's right!" Liu Tai said to Xi Jian again, "Do you still think this book is expensive?" ”

"Ming Gong Rende!" When Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, he had to sigh at this moment, "When Ming Gong said that he wanted to balance the Shi clan, were these soldiers?" ”

"I wish they could!" When Liu Tai heard Xi Jian's words, he smiled and didn't say anything.

To be honest, Liu Tai wanted to give them the books more than sell them to them.

But after thinking about it, no one has ever cherished the things that have been sent out since ancient times, so I still save this thought and choose to sell it.

As for wanting to use these soldiers to balance the family, Liu Tai thought about it and came up with the script of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in power at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

If the family has nemesis, I'm afraid it's them.

However, Liu Tai naturally did not put all his thoughts on the soldiers.

The army needs to read, and the people need to be enlightened, and compared to the army, the people may be the better opponents of the family.

It's just that Liu Tai didn't want to beat the family to death with a stick.

After all, the whole army of the family was wiped out, and only the result of the Shu landlords remained, looking at the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was simply depressing.

In any case, these soldiers are still too immature to let them fight against the family.

The next week was basically the time for the soldiers to shop.

Pick here, choose there, a dazzling array of materials, and the feeling that you can get it if you have money, they really haven't enjoyed it.

At the same time, if it is a soldier in the nearest area, after reporting, he can send these materials back to his home, thereby reducing the burden on the barracks.

However, some soldiers from distant counties need to wait until their comrades-in-arms are sent to the ground, and then the army will arrange for them to be sent back to their respective counties and counties, so that they can enjoy a good return to their hometowns.

Soon, it was time to console the soul.

Jingling Palace, which is a building that anyone who wants to dominate the world, must build a building, and when Cao Wei built Guanggu City, he built it easily.

Liu Tai also told Cao Wei of his request, and in the future, this place will be used as the destination of the soldiers after their deaths, so the area must be wide, but at the same time, this place must be solemn.

So the building has to be black, and the things that hang must be white, and I don't want to see any other colors other than these two colors.

Now that Liu Tai saw this Jingling Hall for the first time, he saw a black building, and even if the sunlight reflected on these walls, it was somewhat cold at the moment.

Because it was a death on the battlefield, cremation was basically used to avoid the plague.

Therefore, when the soldiers returned to the Jingling Palace, they only asked everyone to send the ashes of one soldier after another to this Jingling Hall for burial.

After everyone sent the ashes of the soldiers into the tomb of the Jingling Temple, all the soldiers stood quietly, and Liu Tai served as a representative to offer incense and salute the soldiers.

Then the musician started, and all the soldiers sang "Zhan Nancheng" together, and ended the funeral in this slightly sad music.

Next, Liu Tai watched the square soldiers evacuate the Jingling Palace, leaving only Liu Tai still there.

As everyone left, Xi Jian came to Liu Tai's side and said, "Ming Gong, the ceremony is closed." ”

Liu Tai nodded when he heard Xijian's words, but after thinking for a while, he picked up a stick of incense, inserted it into the incense burner in front of him, and said,

"Sleeping souls in the Jingling Palace, please rest in peace! You are born as a Han people, and you are the soul of a Han when you die.

From now on, as long as I, Liu Tai, are alive for one day, you will be able to enjoy the same treatment as me.

I am the county prince, you will enjoy the county prince treatment, I am the county king, you are the county king treatment.

You died for the Han, and I will do my best to arrange what happens after your death, and your parents, wives and children will enjoy praise and condolences.

If he knew that they were unjust, but did not reach out to help, Liu Tai would have been abandoned by heaven and man from now on, and there would be no corpse, and this matter would be learned from heaven and earth! ”

Liu Tai said solemnly to the tombstone in front of him at this moment.

"The Princess!" Xi Jian couldn't help but be startled when he saw Liu Tai suddenly take such a solemn oath.

Look around, it seems that only you know, are you trying to show yourself? Is this necessary? Do you have this value?!

Even if this era makes things like oaths become bullshit because of the Sima family, but at this moment, Xi Jian looked at Liu Tai's solemnity, obviously these oaths were not casually said, but really intended to be so.

And Liu Tai looked at the horror on Xi Jian's face, smiled calmly, and said:

"I worshiped in the Jingling Hall before, it was for the returning soldiers to see, I hope they understand that they are fighting, but not just for themselves, but for the world of the Han Dynasty, this is their common mission with me!"

When Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, he didn't ask, because if Xi Jian had a feeling, Liu Tai didn't need to talk to him by himself, but Liu Tai needed someone to talk to at this moment.

And Liu Tai continued, "But now I salute the soldiers, but it is because of myself.

The road I have taken is piled up with the bones of the soldiers, and no matter how high and far I go, I must not forget that it is the soldiers who died for me who lifted me up. ”

Liu Tai couldn't help sighing when he said this, "I've never been nobler than them, if one day I forget my original intention, please Daohui you, remind me more!" ”

"Remember!" Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, but he saluted solemnly to Liu Tai.

At this moment, Xi Jian felt that following Liu Tai might be the most regretless decision in his life.
