The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81 Cohesion

More than [-] mu of land can be used as a reward for servants and warriors who have done meritorious service. After all, people in this era have different concepts. Buying land is considered a decent thing to honor the ancestors.

Huang Han has long promised to support the disabled soldiers, and to take care of the families of those who died in the battle. If they can give them land and acres for free, they will certainly be welcome. Doing so will greatly enhance the cohesion of the "Red Banner Army".

The Gao family made a big deal, and the value of these acres might not be less than 3 taels of silver, Huang Han was satisfied.

He agreed: "Young Master Gao is so straightforward, I have thanked him for Paoze, but I don't know if the thirtieth-level true slave is enough to handle the affairs of the Gao family."

Seeing that the talk was over, Gao Youmou was overjoyed and was about to agree, when the magistrate next to him interrupted and said, "Master Huang, the future will be long, for the sake of this old man, can you add more."

It can be seen from this that the eldest son of the Gao family is a nerd who doesn't know the price of food. He may not know the price at all. He only thinks that if he gets the head, he will save his father, and he doesn't want to bargain at all.

Guo Bichang saw that Gao's family offered more than [-] mu of fertile land only to exchange for [-]th-level real slaves, and felt that Huang Han's actions were too dark, so he couldn't help but speak.

With a conscience of heaven and earth, Huang Han really didn't have a black heart, he just thought that one side was asking for a lot of money and the other side was willing to pay back the money. He never thought that Mr. Gao would make a deal with one bite.

Now that Guo Bichang opened his mouth, Huang Han just borrowed the donkey from the slope to give some more gains, he said: "Oh! The county lord speaks, of course the lower officials must know what is good or bad, so let's add five more to the thirtieth-level real slaves." What do the county lords think of the white armor soldiers of the first rank, the Bashikuba Yala of the first rank, and the banner men of the fortieth rank?"

The magistrate of the county was overjoyed and said in his heart: This Huang Han is a bold person. The stupid Mr. Gao has already agreed to the conditions. He originally thought that he would add half or [-]% of the price at most, but who knows that he almost doubled it all at once? Beheading credit.

He said happily: "Okay, Mr. Huang is really straightforward! This matter is settled, and today we have become friends. In the future, Mr. Huang will come to Fengrun often to get close."

"Haha, the county official will be promoted in a few months, what are you doing here?"

Guo Bichang has the merits of guarding the land, and promotion to the next level is already a certainty. Presumably, he will also participate in the operation of the Gao family. With the 36th-level real slave and the [-]th-level banner, he should be double-insured if he wants to be promoted .

The magistrate was tickled by Huang Han's words, and said cheerfully: "No matter where I go to work, Mr. Huang is a friend. I sincerely welcome the 'Red Banner Army' to come and get closer."

Huang Han said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, the mountains and rivers meet again, maybe we will fight side by side, I don't know."

Huang Han knew that people in this era valued credit and cherished reputation very much. After negotiating the conditions, he asked Song Pengfei and Hanzi to take Gao Youmou to get the things. handover.

After making a big deal and getting a big benefit, Mr. Gao was overjoyed, and Guo Bichang looked at him differently and expressed his willingness to make friends. In the end, when Gao Youmou said goodbye, he bowed to the ground, like a younger generation.

With money, food, soldiers, and acres of land, Huang Han now wants to seek territory, and this time he plans to go to the capital to contact Zheng Guochang to do something cheap.

Huang Han wanted to ask him to help run a garrison military officer. If it was really impossible, even a thousand households of the guard army could be awarded, as long as he could actually control a thousand households stationed in the boundary of Yongping Prefecture, he would accept it.

Soldiers rely on generals, even if the "Red Banner Army" becomes the Guards Army, Huang Han will still conduct drills in accordance with the standards exceeding the battalion soldiers, and will pay the battalion soldiers under his command in full, and will not let his command go down to farm at all.

Under the leadership of Huang Han, the 120 Guards Army will definitely have enough troops, and the fighting power of these troops will definitely be able to beat a Qian Zong Frontier Army to the point that even his mother doesn't recognize it.

Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected surprise in Fengrun County. The satisfied Huang Han did not refuse Guo Bichang's kindness to retain the "Red Banner Army" for another day.

He took all the soldiers to eat five delicious meals in the city, and slept comfortably for two nights. When they set off again on the third morning, everyone was full of energy.

With the face of Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian, Huang Han is of course unwilling to suffer for himself and his subordinates. There are so many cities and towns garrisoned by Daming soldiers and civilians along the way, why should he eat and sleep in the open, go to the city to drink, eat meat and take a hot bath? Why not sleep beautifully?

The sun was still high in the west mountain that day, and the "Red Banner Army" entered Baodi County early to stay. Of course, there will be people receiving wine and meat, and a place to sleep.

The county magistrate's application is a good one. He already has the merits of guarding the land. At this time, he spares no effort to connect with the people who came out of the palace. Even Huang Han was treated like a guest and got a big red envelope.

Huang Han was a little embarrassed that he was so polite, so he asked Song Pengfei and Hanzi to go through the back door of the county government that night, and brought a first-class Ba Yala, a ninth-level real slave, and a tenth-level bannerman to Shizhi County.

It didn't take long for them to finish their work and come back. Hanzi said happily: "Brother Han, if there is such a good thing in the future, let's arrange for us to run. No, ten taels of silver can be easily obtained."

The fool has never been rewarded by others, and he was forced to give ten taels of silver after running a errand today, of course he is overjoyed.

Song Pengfei also had a reward of ten taels of silver. He said with a smile, "Master, the county magistrate was delighted to see Zhanhuo. He said he would come to visit and thank you in person after a little preparation."

It depends on the person who offers a reward. No one is a fool. Both Song Pengfei and Hanzi are wearing the uniforms of a sixth-rank military officer. Of course, it wouldn't be too shabby for them to go to the back door of the county government office to give gifts to the magistrate.

Huang Han looked at the happy Hanzi, and was also happy in his heart, he said: "Silly, I guess Jiannu will retreat soon, we can't play tricks in the city when we go to the capital this time, the 'Red Banner Army' will take advantage of it." When the Hou Jin army was in the pass, they did more good business in killing the enemy and looting supplies."

The fool nodded again and again: "Brother Han, I understand, we will raise soldiers in the future, and spend money like running water. If you don't save some money at this time, you will regret it in the future."

Song Pengfei said: "The capital! I've never been there in my life. Are we really going to send the angels to Guangqumen like we sent Zheng Yacha last time and then turn back?"

Huang Han said: "This time I should stay for a day or two, don't worry, when Jiannu retreats, sooner or later I will take you to the capital to have fun for half a month."

Zheng Xiaowen joked with Hanzi and Song Pengfei with a smile: "My family has a house in the inner city of the capital, and they will all live in my house when the time comes. I am too familiar with the capital. This young master is very good."
