Chapter 19: Breaking the Village (2)

"Sir, look!" Someone found him again and led Wang Shoutian into it.

The silver was not in the warehouse, but in the village owner's room, he found a large box and opened it and saw that there was gold and silver inside.

I took out one ingot and saw that there was a word "Cheng" on it. I couldn't help but snorted coldly. This was obviously a private silver cast by the Cheng family. After weighing it, I found that one ingot was about five taels.

At this time, the vassal states in the world were divided, and within a town, there were local tyrants building forts, deep ditches and high walls, and private soldiers refused.

Wang Shoutian ordered his subordinates to count the silver and food just after a thought.

"Sir, the rough plan is 1,600 taels of silver and 250 taels of gold, of which 30% are marked with Cheng characters and 2,800 stones of grain."

"Hiss, so much!" Wang Shoutian was shocked.

Wang Shoutian said again: "Calculate the merits of killing enemies, and wait until you go back to reward merits!"

After a pause, he said, "This village cannot be kept. If you stay, you will gather bandits and drive all the mountain people down. The village will burn all the fire."

"Affect the order!" Naturally, someone responded loudly.

Suddenly, everyone in the village cried, and the fires were everywhere. The soldiers were as fierce as tigers and wolves. They ordered all the mountain people to drive them out. If they disobey, they would behead them on the spot.

Tomorrow morning, thousands of troops rushed forward, and the second battalion won the victory and returned to the army.

When we arrived at the county town, it was already noon, and the entire county town was in sensation. Xue Yuan and Lai Tongyu brought the civil servants to welcome them. Everyone was also happy to see these seizures.

"The reward should not be slow. Mr. Lai, immediately count the food and silver and make a clear account book. I will reward you on the merits in the afternoon. Mr. Xue, come in and discuss it with me in detail."

"Yes, sir!"

When he arrived at the hall, he sat down and served tea. Wang Shoutian said, "How much food is left in the county now?"

"Sir, 1,500 stones of military ration have been stored."

"This time I got another 2,800 stone of grain, which totaled 5,300 stones. This time I captured more than 1,000 people and merged 300 households. Together, there will be a thousand households in our county. By May, will the food be enough?"

"Sir, it's still very difficult. Each household saves some grain every month, which is two stones. A thousand households are two thousand stones per month, and five thousand stones can be used up to three months."

"It's January 20th now, and it's April 20th in March, and it's still half a month away from harvesting."

"However, as long as water conservancy in Shu keeps up, it can ripen at least twice a year, one rice and one wheat, and the rest can be planted. As long as this batch of wheat is harvested in early May, it can harvest at least 6,000 stones, and the grain will keep up."

"Well, I can still fill this food shortage. Let's follow the regulations we agreed upon. Among the soldiers of the Second Battalion, there are those who have won the enemy and elite soldiers from Jin. In addition to land, there are also those who have won the enemy, and those who have not won the enemy, there are also hard work. The sergeant rewards 300 documents, the sergeant rewards 1,500 documents, and the chief and deputy team rewards 3,000 documents."

"The cultivation and canals must be carried out as soon as possible. After the transplanting of rice can be completed, the fields can be divided into households and the military fields will be added to reward the merits." Wang Shoutian said.

"As for those who are injured, they must be treated well. Those who are killed in battle will be given land according to the standards of elite soldiers and will be given to each household with a pension of five taels."

"Sir, isn't there a little more pensions for this land of death in battle?"

"If this is not the case, how can we gather the morale of the army?" Wang Shoutian shook his head and said, "Extraordinary, extraordinary actions, and this is actually not a generous reward."

After calculation, I felt that the consumption was not very large. Xue Yuan responded: "Yes, with the 300 households moved here this time, I can complete these in March."

"As soon as possible, I will report the good news to the general. The county is so well cultivated, I am afraid that Sichuan will be jealous, or expand or ask the general for support, but I must not neglect it."

"yes!"

In the afternoon of that day, a long table was already placed in the military camp, each table was a fire, and on each table were some hearty dishes, including fish, sheep, steamed buns, the squad had a long fire, and the hot wine was burned.

There were not many 200 people, and Wang Shoutian sat on the table and had exchanged enough copper coins.

On Wang Shoutian's table, a yellow light shone, and the bright copper coins were like the hill, making all the soldiers swallowed their saliva.

"There are winners coming forward!" Wang Shoutian gave the order, and immediately, seven people stepped forward.

Although thirty-one people were killed, the reason why only seven people were killed was because many of them worked together to kill them, and they could only get one-third of the gains or one-fifth gains first.

All the seven people were proud and swept past everyone. Wang Shoutian didn't say much: "You are promoted to elite soldiers and reward them!"

One thousand words were heavy and had already been strung with ropes. The seven people were all overjoyed and took one of them.

"The chief and deputy team chief, the chief fire chief, the sergeant will be rewarded!"

Now, thirty people came forward to receive rewards, but they took the cut silver, otherwise all of them would be copper coins, and they would not be enough to pay. These thirty people also bowed and received them.

"The warriors will be rewarded!" Below are ordinary soldiers, and they all took the rewards.

At this time, Wang Shoutian said, "Everyone, the reward has been paid and the banquet has been on. Hurry up and eat while it is hot."

Suddenly, everyone sat in joy and swallowed the voraciously, and the military camp became excited.

In this atmosphere, Wang Shoutian smiled slightly.

Nearby, two hundred soldiers cheered, swallowed voraciously, touching the rewards in their arms from time to time, and officers and others were still somewhat reserved.

In the distance, among the seven hundred households, busy houses, preparing dinner for a day, after half a year, although the fields have not been completely divided, their hearts have gradually calmed down.

In the middle, the bandits who were escorted to the ground had a simple meal and shrank into a ball in the allocated huts, and there were crying sounds from time to time.

Or its energy is bright and stands straight and erect, revealing a light red color.

Or its aura is filled with fog, and it was once pure white.

Or its energy is messy and gray and black floating.

All kinds of energy and the appearance of all people are concentrated here in this small county, gathered on the top of Wang Shoutian. The white air evaporated and condensed in waves. In just a short time, two-thirds of the gold seal had already filled.

In the vast earth, who is the ups and downs? Such destiny is all in one thought. This is the essence of power.

Suddenly, Wang Shoutian remembered a Qi-refining man like Tian Ji.

Or, I remembered my past life.

There are extraordinary saints in every field, but the magic power that sergeants like Tian Ji have practiced for more than ten years, breathed countless times, polished countless times, and cultivated countless times. Their magic powers were not as good as that of Wang Shoutian at this time.

An impulse that didn't know where it came from reminded him of the dragon energy he had studied hard in his previous life.

At the same time, Wang Shoutian noticed that Haoran's righteous energy was instinctively absorbing the white energy and sucking and spitting.

At this moment, he suddenly realized, but understood how to solve Haoran's righteousness.

The next day, the Grand Marshal of Wenyang Prefecture

Wang Zunzhi put down a report, looked a little tired, but a joy appeared in his eyes. He sat on a chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Wang Zunzhi said, "I don't want to really fill this child with thousands of households."

The people present were Secretary Li Xian, Prefect Li Gang, and the Grand Marshal's third brother Wang Yan, all of whom were a little surprised, obviously moved by the news they had just received.

"Congratulations to the Grand Commander, there are thousands of households, and Jishui County can be built again, and there is another county in my town." Wang Yanxian said, "He is the Grand Commander's third brother, but he does not hold military power. He is an old minister of the civil servants in the town.

"The Grand Marshal has indeed reached the number of households in establishing a county yamen, but I think it's better to wait a moment. When the grain is harvested in May, it's not too late to build a county yamen again." Secretary-General Li Xian said.

"Master General, although Wang Shoutian is young, he is indeed extraordinary. He leads troops outside and defeats the thief twice, and should be rewarded!" At this point, the prefect Li Gang bowed to Wang Zunzhi and said, "I think that a talent like Wang Shoutian should be promoted to an official title, transferred back to the mansion to listen to it, and reward it according to merits."

The prefect Li Gang said this, causing the secretary Li Xian to sneer in his eyes, and a few sarcasm.

When I saw Jishui County was built, I picked peaches. This was natural. It was not like this, and I would not be the superiors.

However, if you want to pick the prince's peach, it would be a mistake. He is close to the Grand Marshal and has already had a clear understanding of the Grand Marshal's intentions.

Sure enough, the general frowned and said, "This Jishui County was first established, and it is not stable and cannot be transferred. Let's talk about it later. However, it is time to call this son back to report his duties again."

Since the commander had a fate, he naturally had a fixed number. After saying a few words, everyone left, but Wang Yan stayed.

"...Brother, have you decided?" Wang Yan asked with a step forward.

"Third brother, how come you don't know about my affairs? If the three sons of the clan were mediocre and inaction, I would not have given him this position. Now he can fight, and he can govern the people. Every move has laws... He is really the Qilin son of my family, and this position is his." Wang Zunzhi smiled and said.

This is actually a lie. In his previous life, Wang Shoutian did not show outstanding talents, so he still used him to inherit the throne, but at this time, he was justified.

Wang Yan was not in charge of military power, and was old, and knew that he had no chance to inherit his position, so he didn't miss it. After hearing what his brother said, he pondered for a while and asked, "When will you officially consider your heir to succeed to the throne?"

"If he had no such talent, I would have made him his heir early and transferred his strength to his hands. Now it seems that there is no need. After collecting the grain in May, I will announce the completion of Jishui County and allow him to be the seventh-rank magistrate and the captain of the Yanshan Capital Xuanwu, and lead the guard of the Yanshan Capital."

"When the county government is full and the guard is full, he will be full of wings. At that time, I will take it as my heir to succeed to the throne and hand over the strength to him. I will probably make a smooth transition."

This was the first time Wang Yan heard the clear statement of succession from his elder brother, and responded sternly: "Yes, brother, I understand, and I will do my best to assist Tian'er to succeed the throne."

"Well, you have something to do now, just go directly to the Song family in Chengdu and formally confirm the ceremony of writing. Once they agree, it is also the time for me to formally accept Wang Shoutian as his heir."
