Chapter 198 Reissue of Military Pay (2455)

"Hey, what a Ge Huan, such a young lady like a green onion is willing to do it, she is really non-toxic and not a husband."

At the intersection not far away, several men were sitting on the ground talking nonsense, but their eyes were fixed on Ge Huan's house.

"Old Qi, take two people to follow the boy before, find out what they are doing, and keep an eye on them." The short-bearded man ordered.

Lao Qi nodded, and beckoned the two companions to leave quietly.

Sixty percent of the officials in Qi County participated in this corruption case. Who would believe that Ge Huan was innocent?
Jiang Chengxiao kept him, firstly to stabilize Qi County, and secondly to see if Ge Huan was someone's secret son.After receiving the news from Shenju, Ge Huan secretly met an unknown person, and he understood that there must be someone behind Ge Huan, and it was probably Qinghe Cui.

Regarding this, Jiang Chengxiao didn't seem too surprised.After all, if Ge Huan had really been loyal to the imperial court, he would not have allowed so many officials to be corrupt, not to mention that he himself had received a lot of regular money.

"Go back and tell Shenju, make sure you find out who that person is, and keep an eye on them." Jiang Chengxiao knelt on the cushion, holding the roster in his hand, and gave orders to God.

"Yes." The man withdrew immediately after taking the order.

Jiang Chengxiao turned his attention to the roster again. This is the livelihood roster of Qi County. Simply put, it is the household registration book in Qi County. It records the number of people in each household, how many old people, how many young adults, and how many children there are.

At present, because he has copied many big families, he now has about 5000 shi of grain in his hands, so it is not a problem to pull up an army of [-] people. There are still enough bows and arrows in the arsenal of Qi County. , ready to go.

But the problem now is also here, there are only [-] government soldiers at present, and there are still [-] to be drawn from the young and middle-aged people in Qi County. This is what he is considering now.However, there is not much time for him, and now he can only let Shenju arrange it as soon as possible.

Shenju was very famous in the green forests around Qi County. Under his organization's instigation, more than 2000 people were soon gathered in the army.

A day later, Jiang Chengxiao took care of the official documents, took Nan Jiyun to the school grounds, boarded the high wooden platform, and looked at the dark soldiers below.When those people saw the county lieutenant on the stage, they kept silent and waited quietly for the county lieutenant to speak.

Jiang Chengxiao's face was calm, and he didn't talk a lot of nonsense like the soldiers imagined, and said directly: "The former Qi County Commander Song Jinwei embezzled the army's food and grass. His Majesty has already learned about this, so he sent me here to temporarily lead Qi County The post of county lieutenant. I took a look and found that Song Jinwei was greedy for a lot of food and grass, and I have sent someone to raid his house, everyone should know about this."

The following soldiers were born in Qi County, so they are naturally very clear about what happened in Qi County recently.

Jiang Chengxiao then said in a loud voice: "The first thing this county lieutenant does when he takes office is to pay off your military salary. If you don't practice today, you will go to the quartermaster to collect the general's salary. I will announce something tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chengxiao left very simply.Thousands of words have no practical benefits. The only people who want to gather the hearts of these soldiers are food and money. What Qi County lacks most now is food. There is nothing that can move these soldiers more than food.

The soldiers underground suddenly burst into whispers, this new county captain seems to really care about the people as the outside world said.They thought that the new county lieutenant came here today to reprimand them for not having routine drills, but they didn't expect that he came here to pay back the military pay.

A man boldly asked: "Master Junwei, can those who are not here take it?"

Jiang Chengxiao stopped, and asked calmly: "He didn't eat, can you eat for him?"

"Hahaha" a group of men burst out laughing.

"Hu Ergou, do you fucking want military pay? Get out of here." A school captain who knew Hu Ergou scolded.

As a captain, he naturally knows more about the inside story than others.This new county lieutenant is a ruthless character, so many officials and lords who were arrested in Qi County all at once were written by this person.

"coming!"

It's good not to take the bastard, Hu Ergou patted his head, not caring about the ridicule of those companions, and walked up to the quartermaster.

"Where are you from? What's your name?"

"Zhangqiu County, Hu Youde." Hu Ergou picked his nostrils with his fingers and wiped them on his patched clothes.

The quartermaster wrote down his name on a piece of paper, without raising his head, he said, "Hu Youde of Zhangqiu County, the leader of the army is one stone and two coins."

"So many?" Hu Ergou froze in place, and the men lining up behind him exclaimed.

One stone of grain weighs 120 catties, enough to feed a family for more than a month.Two guanqian is two thousand copper coins, which is equivalent to two taels of silver. How much grain can this buy.

To be honest, Hu Ergou came here today and was already mentally prepared to be tortured by the new county lieutenant, but what happened to this sudden big cake?

He was a little dizzy.

"Why so much? The county lieutenant said it was to compensate you for the military salary owed to you. You think the county lieutenant lied to you. Why don't you go and get it? What's the matter here?" The quartermaster raised his head and cursed.

Hu Ergou gave a jolt, nodded quickly and went to the back to lead the army rations.The men in the queue were gearing up one after another, excitedly declaring themselves to receive their military pay.

The men who had already received the military rations touched the swollen bags, which were filled with food, and their hearts were filled with joy.Hu Ergou carefully carried the two copper coins in his bosom, and later bought some dried meat to go home. The old lady and the young child at home haven't eaten meat for a long time.

Thinking of this, Hu Ergou carried the food on his body and walked towards the outside of the barracks.

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the soldiers who were laughing and laughing, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.He got all these money and food by copying those big households, so he must not feel bad about using it.What's more, in order to pull up a team as soon as possible, this investment is still required.These men may not be as good at fighting as the soldiers of the Twelve Guards, but they should be enough to deal with the mob.

If he had known that Qi County was in this situation, he should have asked the emperor for money.

Hu Ergou's home is in Hujia Village, [-] miles away from Zhangqiu County. When Hu Ergou returned to the village with food on his back and dried meat in his hand, the villagers gathered around him one after another.

"Ergou, where did you get the food and meat?"

Hu Ergou smiled triumphantly, "Today, a newly appointed county lieutenant will give us a supplementary military salary."

"How many?"

"One stone grain, two pennies." Hu Ergou raised the jerky in his hand.

Hearing this, there were many young people who surrounded Er Gou looking at Er Gou's jerky with covetous eyes, and someone asked, "Er Gouzi, why don't you bring back a piece for my fool?"

Hu Ergou immediately said: "The county captain said, you can't pick it up on your behalf, you can only get it yourself."

"Then can I get it tomorrow?"

"How do I know that, but the county lieutenant will announce something important tomorrow, if you go, maybe you can get it, who told you not to go today."

"Who knew the county lieutenant would pay back the military salary." Someone whispered.

Hu Ergou ignored him and walked to his thatched hut with the grain on his shoulders.

A barefoot child in tattered clothes cried out when he saw the meat in Hu Ergou's hand.

"Mother, Dad is back from buying meat!"

A dark-skinned woman walked out of the thatched hut. When she saw the meat in Hu Ergou's hand, she immediately cursed: "Damn it, just watch your mouth. If you have that money, you can buy more food and live longer."

Hu Ergou walked over and touched Xiaowa's round head, and said, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? This is the county captain's repayment of our family's military salary, one stone of grain, two pennies of money."

With that said, Ergou put down the food, took out the money left over from buying meat from his arms, and handed it to the woman.

"Really?" The mother-in-law quickly took the money and questioned, "Didn't you borrow it?"

"I've borrowed all that I can, and Dahu in the next village has reissued all of them today. If you don't believe me, just ask yourself."

Tonight, the long-lost aroma of meat and rice wafted from Hu Ergou's house, and the gluttonous villagers sighed.Many housewives kicked their husbands out of bed that night and ordered them to go to collect the replacement military pay tomorrow.
