Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 422, make money

In the camp where the Vanguard Battalion of the Eastern Road Army was stationed, many soldiers talked and laughed with each other, boasting to each other how brave they were in battle, how many Tartars they killed, and how much silver they could get.

At the same time, everyone is waiting patiently, waiting for the silver reward from the prince. If the silver is not in hand, everyone will not disperse.

Of course, the higher-ups did not order everyone to return to their original places, but waited here, waiting for the arrival of the prince.

The news has already been released from above, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally come and reward everyone for their meritorious deeds. One hundred taels of silver per person will definitely not be less than one tael. For the soldiers who died in battle, the pension of two hundred taels of silver per person will not be worth a penny. Send out less.

And in order to ensure that the money can be distributed to the families of the fallen soldiers, the prince has also ordered to pick up the relatives of the fallen family members.

"This battle was fought too fast, I only got two heads and it was over."

Wang Daniu looked at the villagers around him, and said with a smile on his face.

In this war, he fought three battles from beginning to end, the ambush at Hukou Pass, the attack on Hukou Pass, and the final battle to encircle and suppress the headquarters of the little prince.

In three battles, he got a total of four heads, and he can get a reward of four hundred taels of silver. The key is that after these few battles, he has nothing to do, so he can enjoy the reward of four hundred taels of silver. Like some people, although they grabbed the head, they died in the battle in the end. Even if there is a silver reward, they can't enjoy it.

"Brother Big Niu, you are still the best. You got four heads, and I only have one head."

The scholar at the side said with some envy, Wang Daniu is tall, strong and strong, and he has great advantages in war, and it is easier to kill Tartars. Grab a head.

"At any rate, you still have a head, but I haven't caught a head, and I don't have the face to go home and meet people."

Next to the scholar, a person said with red eyes.

"Coward, who told you to be afraid of death? When we rushed to the front, you didn't dare to go up behind. You were afraid of death. If you don't get the head, you deserve it."

Chen Mazi looked at this person, and couldn't help but sneer, this person is greedy for life and afraid of death, everyone rushed forward with red eyes, he was lucky, he didn't dare to rush forward, in the end he survived alive, but it was a human head No.

"Aren't my stomachs full of remorse? I was very scared at first, but after that I also rushed forward. Who knows, these tartars would disappear without being beaten."

The coward said helplessly that his birth name was Sun Liu, and he had always been a timid person.

"I've said it a long time ago. This is a rare opportunity to make a fortune in a lifetime. You must seize it. If you don't listen, you are as timid as a mouse. Now you can only watch everyone live a good life with money."

Wang Daniu said with a smile.

"The tartars are actually nothing special. Those tartars will also be scared when they see our fierce appearance. I don't know if there will be a chance to fight the tartars next time."

Li Fugui nodded and said, he is a bit reluctant to go back now, he serves delicious food and drinks here, and he gets money for killing Tartars. They are squeezed and exploited by those hundreds and thousands of households every day.

"Don't worry, there must be a chance."

Wang Daniu thought for a while and said.

"When do you think our money will be distributed?"

"It's been several days, why hasn't the money for this reward come down?"

Chen Mazi thought for a while and said worriedly, the money was not put in his pocket, so he was always uneasy, making people feel uneasy, and always felt that the higher ups might be fooling them.

"Don't worry, who is the crown prince, how can you lose your hundreds of taels of silver, not to mention, these two hundred thousand troops are here, if we really lose our silver, do you think everyone will agree?"

When Wang Daniu said this, his voice was very low, and he also looked around, for fear of being known, such words were treasonous, and if people knew, they might punish the Nine Clans.

"Um~uh~"

At this moment, horns sounded in the barracks.

"Money has been distributed, money has been distributed~"

At the same time, there was another sound, and the people who heard the sound immediately walked towards the playground at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Let's go, let's pay the money~"

When Wang Daniu heard this, he was suddenly excited, and immediately hurried to the playground, and the others followed quickly, not to be outdone.

"Wow~ oh my god, it's all silver~"

Just when they came to the playground, Wang Daniu and the others heard exclamations.

It turned out that there were boxes and boxes of silver piled up on the platform at this time. The white silver was shining brightly, and under the sunlight, it refracted a fascinating light.

For these frontier soldiers and military households, this is definitely the first time they have seen so much silver piled up together, of course not only them, but for the absolute majority of people, it is the first time they have seen such a large amount of money. A lot of silver is piled up together.

"A lot of silver~"

Wang Daniu's eyes were staring straight, his mind was full of silver, all of this shiny silver thing.

"Quiet~"

The whole barracks arrived soon, and everyone stood neatly according to the position during the drill, quietly waiting for the start of the reward meeting.

The crowd didn't wait for too long, an official in a red robe came to the general platform.

"Soldiers and soldiers, my servant, Wang Hua, is an official of the Crown Prince's Mansion in the East Palace. I am here to issue bounties to the Vanguard Camp of the East Road Army under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Hua's voice was very loud, and the playground was very quiet, and his words were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"I have verified all the Tartar heads captured by the Vanguard Battalion of the Eastern Army. The total number is [-]. The total number of dead soldiers in the Vanguard Battalion is [-]."

"All the data has been verified and correct, and the rewards are approved."

When he said this, Wang Hua's voice became very serious. The soldiers killed in battle are counted as corpses. Every soldier who died in battle must have a strict birth certificate, and at the same time must be a person on the roster. There must be people from the same village, township, and guard to correct and guarantee.

As for the capture of the enemy's head, it must also be strictly verified to prevent someone from killing the good and pretending to be meritorious. Once such a thing happens, it will definitely be a big deal.

Up to the generals of the Pioneer Battalion, and even Liu Yu, the commander-in-chief of the East Army, will be implicated. In terms of military merits, the strictest policy has always been implemented.

Even if someone killed the enemy on the battlefield and died in battle, other people would not dare to snatch his head, otherwise, once they were found out, they would be dealt with directly by military law.

Don't dare to go forward to kill the enemy, but to snatch the credit of the fallen soldiers. Once this matter gets out, no one can save you, and everyone will deeply despise you.

On the battlefield, no one dared to say that he could have the last laugh. If his credit was robbed, everyone would be extremely angry.

So in this matter, Zhu Houzhao also listened to the suggestions of Liu Jin and Wang Hua, and issued the strictest orders from the beginning.

"The rewards will be distributed below. If you read your name, please come to the stage to receive your rewards. If you are a soldier who died in battle, please come up to the family members of the soldiers who died in battle to receive rewards and pensions."

"Here, I would like to reiterate that no one can think about the rewards and pensions of the soldiers. If anyone dares to get involved in the rewards and pensions of the soldiers, you can give us feedback directly. We will carry out the most serious deal with."

After Wang Hua finished speaking, he looked at the generals, thousands of households, and hundreds of households in the vanguard camp. This is what was said to them.

Some people may make up their minds about the pensions and rewards of the soldiers. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Whether it is ancient times or later generations, such things happen from time to time.

Hearing Wang Hua's words, many generals, Qianhu, and Baihu couldn't help but feel a slight chill in their necks, and they could obviously feel the murderous aura hidden in it.

Although the crown prince is not yet the emperor, killing some people is only a matter of one sentence, not to mention that countless pairs of eyes in the entire Ming Dynasty are watching this matter.

The money was also donated by countless people from all over the Ming Dynasty, and it was used to distribute soldiers and pensions to the soldiers. If someone had this idea, once it was exposed, there would be absolutely no place to die.

"The following will start to distribute the arrival and pension. Those who read the name, please come to the stage and check the number first. If there is no problem with the number, sign and draw a deposit to receive the reward or pension."

Wang Hua looked around, and without further delay, began to distribute rewards.

"Yang Yun, twenty-one enemies were killed in the battle at Hukou Pass, thirty-nine enemies were killed in the battle to encircle and suppress the Little Prince's Headquarters, and even the chieftain of the enemy was beheaded. A total of [-] taels of silver should be distributed."

The first name Wang Hua pronounced was Yang Yun, and now he has also been conferred the title of Poluhou by Emperor Hongzhi. Of course, this time it has nothing to do with the title. Wang Hua is directly in charge of distributing rewards.

"Wow~ Beheaded sixty enemies, and even beheaded the head of the Tartars, this man is really too fierce~"

"Directly reward one hundred and six thousand taels of silver, how much money, can he afford it?"

"Is this still a human being? I took my head all the way to get it. He actually killed sixty Tartars. It's really fierce~"

As Wang Hua's voice fell, there was an exclamation in the audience. Yang Yun was too fierce. He beheaded [-] people by himself, and even killed the leader of the tartar. It's amazing, and it can't help but envy and envy.

Yang Yun slowly walked up to the general's platform, with an unconcealable smile on his face, just for one battle, he not only got an iron rice bowl, was made a Marquis, but also received a reward of more than [-] taels of silver, It can be said that the salted fish turned over completely.

"Yang Hou, this number is not wrong."

Wang Hua looked at Yang Yun in front of him, he was a great general, it doesn't matter if he is tall and burly, the key is that this person is just like Zhao Yun, not only a fierce general, but also very handsome.

The imperial decree to confer Yang Yun as Marquis of Polu has already arrived here, so Wang Hua also called him Marquis Yang.

"That's right~"

Yang Yun nodded with a smile and said, he knew exactly how many enemies he had killed.

"Well, here are the bank notes issued by the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. The total amount is one hundred and six thousand taels. Please order it."

Wang Hua nodded, and then someone came over dragging a red plate, which was filled with stacks of banknotes from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty.

This sudden reward of one hundred and six thousand taels of silver is definitely impossible to say to the silver, because it is too heavy to be taken away at all, so the large rewards are all given to silver tickets.

The First Bank of Daming has now opened branches in major cities in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Because of its exquisite printing, good reputation and strong strength, the first bank’s banknotes and silver dollars are widely promoted by the Daming Morning Post. , and now it is slowly passing through Daming.

Although Yang Yun had never seen a banknote before, he already knew about the issue of banknotes for the large rewards above, so he recruited people in advance to find out.

Knowing the strength of Daming First Bank, you can get the money as long as you take the bank note, you can be absolutely assured, even if you deposit the money in Daming First Bank, you will still get interest.

So he looked carefully at the bank notes, all of them were one hundred taels of silver, one bundle was [-] taels of silver, there were ten bundles, plus there were loose tickets of [-] taels of silver.

"That's right~"

After Yang Yun finished counting, he happily put his bank note into his arms.

"Silver note?"

"The First Bank of Ming Dynasty?"

Many people heard of bank notes for the first time, and it was also the first time they saw bank notes. When they heard about Daming First Bank, they were all dumbfounded when they saw Yang Yun holding a stack of bank notes. These banknotes can be exchanged for one hundred and six thousand taels of silver?

"Xie Lei, five enemies were killed in the battle at Hukou Pass, and eight enemies were killed in the battle to encircle and suppress the Little Prince's Headquarters. There are thirteen people in total. The reward is [-] taels of silver."

Wang Hua and Yang Yun nodded, and then continued to read a name according to the roster.

"Wow, another fierce man, beheading thirteen people, he seems to have been promoted to a thousand households, and this reward is another thousand and three hundred silver, tsk tsk, get promoted and get rich~"

"Isn't that right? I know this man. When he kills the Tartars, he can't be fierce. If he gets a few arrows in his body, it's as if nothing happened. He rampages among the Tartars. His whole body is covered in snow. He is absolutely fierce."

"Excellent, one thousand three hundred taels of silver~"

Soon a tall, muscular man walked up to the general platform, and this time he didn't issue a silver bill, but directly handed out silver dollars.

There are one hundred silver dollars per letter, and a total of thirteen silver dollars, which is [-] taels of silver.

The people who can kill enemies to Yang Yun's level are still very few after all, most of them only have a few heads. As for Xie Lei, there are very few people who can kill [-] enemies, which is considered very powerful up.

"..."

As the names were read out one by one, one person continued to go up to the stage to receive their own rewards. Those who went up in the front were beheaded more enemies, and those who went up to the back were basically beheaded a few.

Wang Daniu watched a person around him come to the stage to accept the award, but he never heard his name, and he seemed a little anxious.

"Wang Daniu~"

Finally, when Wang Daniu's name was heard, he rushed out of the queue as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and then came to the Dianjiang platform.

At this time, Wang Huanian's voice was already a little hoarse. After taking a sip of tea, he took a roster and asked: "In the battle at Hukou Pass, two people were beheaded. In the battle to encircle and suppress the little prince's headquarters, two people were beheaded. There are four people in total. Four hundred taels of silver, is there a mistake?"

"No~"

Wang Daniu smiled and shook his head and said.

"That's good~ give out rewards~"

Wang Hua nodded and gestured to the people around him, and soon, four envelopes of silver dollars were brought over on a red tray.

Wang Daniu picked up the four silver coins tremblingly, feeling extremely excited.

Four hundred taels of silver!

It's just something he never dreamed of before.

With this amount of money, it is not a problem to marry a daughter-in-law at all. To build a house, you can build a large yard with three entrances, and you can also buy a large piece of good land.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

After getting the silver coins, he stuffed the heavy four silver coins into his pocket, his clothes were sinking, it was too heavy, he couldn't help touching these silver coins, and shouted loudly to the people below.

These are his words from the heart.

In the past, he was a dilapidated military family. He was born in a military family, so he was destined to be very dilapidated. He was the eldest in the family, and he was already twenty-two, but he still couldn't find a wife.

Without it, no one is willing to marry this dilapidated military household. They need money but no money, food but no food, and land without land. The key is that the children born here will be dilapidated military households for generations.

He has always hated the status of a military household. It is precisely because of this status that they have to endure the exploitation and oppression of the hundreds and thousands of households above.

Also because of this status, not only did they not enjoy any benefits of being military households, but they suffered too many and too many difficulties because of it.

He hated his status as a military household and the system.

But now, he is glad that he is a military household, because he is a military household, so he has the opportunity to fight the enemy on the battlefield, so he has the four hundred silver dollars in his arms.

With this money, anything can be done.

This is also the reason why he called Daming mighty, because at this moment, he suddenly had a sense of identity with the military household and this Daming, and even had a faint sense of pride.

"Da Ming is mighty~"

Hearing Wang Daniu's words, the people below who had already received the money also shouted, and then the other people also shouted together, the voice was very loud, very neat, and they all shouted from the heart.

"Da Ming is mighty!"

　[-]-in-[-], is there another problem mentioned in this chapter?
