Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 593 Blessed are the common people, and you will be given money for digging holes!
"welcome!"

Yuan Yao ordered his subordinates to prepare the documents, and both sides stamped the seals, one for the Dazhong Empire and one for the Guishuang Empire.

"I forgot to tell you, what I promised was only to let go of the defeated Guishuang soldiers, but did I agree to let go of the emperor of the Guishuang Empire!!... Hubisaka II, if you want to be free, please immediately Execute the treaty! In front of hundreds of thousands of troops, I personally promised that when you complete the implementation of the treaty, I will immediately send you back to China, and I will also send troops to take you to a safe place!" Yuan Yao laughed loudly.

Hupisaka let out a cry, and sat down on the ground...

……

With the withdrawal of the Guishuang Empire's army, Yuan Yao brought Hupisaka II back to Lan's City and locked him in a cage. The place where he lived was the same cage that Sunam had locked up before. Seeing his face, Yuan Yao happily released Sunam from the prison and brought him back to the palace.

"Emperor Dazhong, you must keep your promise!" Hupisaka II said.

"Don't worry, you are not joking. I advise you to worry about it. In your current situation, will your subordinate Xihou depose you as an emperor and make yourself emperor! So, let me see the money and food as soon as possible." War horses, and those [-] unmarried female slaves!...Thinking about it, I really look forward to it! By the way, don’t forget that Buddhism is banned! And it’s in the name of the Guishuang Empire!! If the people know that it’s me who is banning Buddhism, You know the result!" Yuan Yao said.

Hubisaka gritted her teeth fiercely, and nodded in agreement.

Although Su Namu finally got out of the prison, she couldn't be happier anymore.

Although after returning to the palace, she lived in the private room that Yuan Yao arranged for her, and was served by two maids. Under the service of the maids, she finally got her wish and took a hot bath.

……

Outside Lan's city, there were piles of corpses. The army of the Guishuang Empire did not go to bury the corpses they threw here. Each soldier of the Guishuang Empire who died in battle charged a gold coin for burial, and handed everything over to the Dazhong Empire!
Yuan Yao decided to use these corpses to frighten the local people and make them earn a lot of money. Therefore, after cleaning up the weapons, armor, horses, and food and grass on the battlefield, the task of burying the dead soldiers of the Guishuang Empire It was released to the people.

Every time a corpse is dug and buried and a simple sign with the name and place is erected, you can get a gold coin!
If it is an unnamed corpse, dig a larger pit, one pit for ten corpses, make a simple mark, and one pit is also a gold coin!
It is absolutely not allowed to dig bigger pits and put more corpses in one pit!
All of this was supervised by the army of the Dazhong Empire, and the soldiers who supervised it were rewarded with gold coins!

The purpose of Yuan Yao's doing this is to renovate the land in the south of the city as much as possible, because the surface layer of soil has been soaked by the blood of the enemy. If it is not handled properly, it may bring plague to Lan's City! !
Allowing the people to participate in the burial can not only allow the people to witness the strength of the Dazhong Empire, but also benefit the people and allow the people to have more money, and this money does not belong to the Dazhong Empire. Yuan Yao’s wages to the people are from the Guishuang Empire gold coins.

When these gold coins are in the hands of the common people, they cannot buy items from the Dazhong Empire. They can only use private transactions and purchase items from the Guishuang Empire!
However, if these items are traded in Lan's city, they can get gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins from the Dazhong Empire. All these transactions are temporarily exempt from tax.

For this reason, Yuan Yao also specially opened the pass, stationed troops in the snow mountain, protected the people of the Lanshi City, safely bought all kinds of items from the south of the snow mountain, and received those who moved from the south of the snow mountain and wanted to abandon their valuables. The Frost Empire came to vote for the people of the Dazhong Empire.

The Battle of Snow Mountain, the spoils of the Dazhong Empire:
Grain is about [-] shi.

There are about two uninjured war horses, and about three thousand wounded war horses. After the wounded war horses are cured, they will be retired and will no longer go to the battlefield. Instead, they will be used for transportation between the Central Plains and the West.

There are tens of thousands of bronze weapons and armors.

For this large number of bronze products, Yuan Yao ordered people to select one hundred sets of high-quality goods as commemorations, and the rest were all melted into bronze. One part of the obtained bronze was used to make the copper coins of the Dazhong Empire, and the other part was used to make some agricultural tools and industrial products. The tools that will be used in the horse, and some will be made into elaborate saddles and stirrups.

The war horses obtained from the Guishuang Empire have no stirrups, and the saddles are not easy to use. This is one of the reasons why the heavy cavalry of the Guishuang Empire is not the iron cavalry of the Dazhong Empire at all.

The grain and grass that Zhao Yun brought in from the battlefield lifted Yuan Yao's spirits. This batch of grain and grass would be enough to sustain the 20 troops stationed in Lan's City for a month!If the Guishuang Empire sends another 20 stones of grain and grass as promised, it will be enough to support the autumn harvest, which means that it will no longer have to work hard to transport grain from the Central Plains to Hezhou, and then Hezhou Mu Xushu will laboriously transport the grain and grass to Lanshi city!

Zhou Cang, Yang Wu, Xu Chu, Dai Ling, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Xu Ding, Xia Houbo and other old generals were praised and rewarded by Yuan Yao.

The new batch of generals such as Pang De, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xia Houdun, etc. also received face-to-face rewards from Yuan Yao, and comforted them with kind words. They were all grateful to Yuan Yao.

The rest of the soldiers, due to their different military exploits, received different rewards and promotions. Even if they didn't fight in this battle, the soldiers in Anshou City all received rich rewards!

In a word, all people, all those who are loyal to Yuan Yao, will be rewarded. These rewards are not the currency of the Guishuang Empire, but the currency of the Dazhong Empire. As long as Yuan Yao is in power and the Yuan family is in power, there will be no will depreciate.

……

"Su Namu! I am very sorry for letting you see the cruelty of war this time!" Yuan Yao said.

"It's nothing." Su Namu's expression was numb.

"Su Namu! I allow you to directly call me by my name in the future, Zimou! Just like I call you Sunam!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.

"Okay, Yuan Zimou!" Su Namu pursed her lips, although her expression was better, but she still had a cold expression.

"Su Namu, are you blaming me for killing the women who came with you in front of you?" Yuan Yao asked after thinking for a while.

"No, they brought the blame on themselves, no one to blame, Your Majesty Yuan Zimou!" Su Namu shook her head.

"Then why have you been sad and unhappy after returning from the battlefield?" Yuan Yao looked at Su Namu's blank green eyes with pity.

Those still beautiful big eyes with charming light green pupils seem to be much less exciting than before, although Sunam, who has been washed and dressed, looks more glamorous than before, It is full of temptation, and has an attitude of letting you pick and choose, but Yuan Yao can't afford any distracting thoughts.

Yuan Yao didn't know why he liked a woman from a foreign country so much, and she was also the enemy's daughter. This feeling of liking was almost as good as his liking for the three daughters Lu Lingqi, Sun Shangxiang, and Cai Wenji, even surpassing Gong Yinglian, Cao Yanran and other wives and concubines.
