The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100

Standing on the commendation platform, Lu Jinyuan explained the ins and outs of helping the Wang family in Min'an.
The meaning and importance of the rescue were also patiently explained.

When it was over, Lu Jinyuan said loudly: "Now the patriarch will speak."

The clan assembly is like this, they are all from their own people, just make things clear, there are not so many why,
No one was deliberately picking on the thorns.

As soon as the voice fell, there was thunderous applause, and many people cheered loudly.

Second Master Qing turned his head and said to the second uncle who was sitting next to him, "Brother Le is really good. It seems that we old fellows can relax and enjoy themselves."

Judging from the applause and cheers, Lu Changle has already won the support of the tribe,
I thought it would take at least one or two years to do it, but I didn't expect Lu Changle to grow faster than the clan elders imagined.

The second uncle nodded in satisfaction, and said thoughtfully: "With Brother Le's ability, it is only a matter of time before he gets the support of his tribe, but it is a major event in his life. We are going to have some refreshments."

In ancient times, marriage was early, and many young children in the clan were younger than Lu Changle, and the children could walk.

But Lu Changle didn't look anxious at all.

"This matter really needs to be taken care of." Second Master Qing said with a serious face: "Brother Le's parents left early, and no one thought about it for him. We old guys have to take care of this matter for him, can't Let him let go of his heart, otherwise, I will go to Tiezui Liu, she is a well-known matchmaker in all directions."

When Lu Changle was still studying, he often went to Fireworks and Willow Lane,

Later, in order to gain Fan Sanbo's trust, he spent all his time sensual and sensual, and even got the nickname of Flower Picker,
I really have to change his color and have a daughter-in-law take care of him. If he plays wild with his heart, it will be bad.

The second uncle smiled and said firmly, "Don't worry, I know this matter well, so you don't want to interfere."

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you out there." Second Master Qing froze for a moment, and quickly said happily.

The second uncle is a well-known wise man in the clan, he said he knew it well, and it was probably a good thing.

At this time, Lu Changle was already standing on the commendation platform, beckoning everyone to calm down, and then said with a sad face: "This time to save the Wang family of Min'an, we are actually saving ourselves. If the flying tiger occupies Min'an and is so close, even if he If we don’t come to attack Xingping Village, we don’t want to sleep peacefully.”

"Uncle Zhu Shou Yuan said these words just now, so I won't repeat them."

Speaking of this, Lu Changle paused for a moment, and quickly said: "This expedition has captured a lot. After discussing with the clan elders and the heads of the houses, I made a decision. In addition to the clan's customary compensation, the casualties will be paid every day. A clan member who died in battle will be given 50 taels of silver, a clan member who was injured will be given 20 taels of silver, and all clan members who participated in the rescue will be given [-] taels of silver.

There were not many words, and the voice was not loud, but there was an uproar at the scene.

50 taels for those killed in battle, 20 taels for those injured, even those who participated, there are also ten taels. When did the clan become so rich?
30 taels, if you are not picky, you can buy a house in the city.

Families with casualties at home were too surprised to speak, and the grief in their hearts was reduced a lot at once.

Some people who were just glad that their son did not join the rural protection team began to feel a little envious,
If you don’t want to take 50 taels, you can just take 20 taels or ten taels.

Besides, the treatment of the rural protection team is also good. Not only do they not have to go home to eat, but they also have meat and vegetables to take home when they perform well.
Even if you start with the team, there are still twelve taels. I heard that those who perform well and make meritorious service will be rewarded.

By the way, the casualties this time are not small, and there must be vacancies for the rural protection team.
Many people have already made up their minds, and they will talk to Fangtou when they go back to see if they can get a place to join the rural protection team.

Lu Changle had a panoramic view of the reactions of the people in the audience, and waited for everyone to calm down before continuing: "This is called the commendation conference, and naturally it is mainly about commendation. Now we will read out the list, and those who hear their names will come to the stage to accept the commendation. If there are injuries or illnesses that are not here or those who died in battle, their families will take care of them.”

As soon as the words fell, there was another discussion at the scene.

Not only the clansmen present were surprised, but even the rural protection team sitting on the far left rioted.

For those who died in battle, the practice of pensions in the clan has already ensured the family's life. The clan leader just announced that each person will be subsidized by 50 taels.

I thought it was over, but I didn't expect that there would be rewards for those who made contributions during their lifetime.

There was a fire in everyone's heart, the treatment is so good, if you fight again, you must fight to the death,
Many clansmen began to ponder in their hearts how much spoils the clan had gained during this battle,
Good guy, among other things, the rewards for the casualties and participants are more than 1 taels.
God, when did the Fuzhou Lu family get so rich?
When the ancestors were in power, sometimes they couldn't even afford medicines. Uncle Dong took his clansmen up the mountain to collect medicines to treat the wounded.

After Le Ge'er succeeded as the patriarch, the life of the Lu family in Fuzhou became more and more prosperous, and there was a faint trend of being more and more prosperous.

Lu Changle's energetic voice continued to sound: "From the performance on the battlefield, the statistics and recommendations of the various team leaders, we have now selected two first-class meritorious service, three second-class meritorious service winners, and twelve third-class meritorious performers. Those who heard their names Team members or family members, please come to the stage."

"The list of C-class awards is as follows, Lu Changgao, Lu Changhuan, Lu Changshui, Lu Changwei, Lu Changhe"

"The second prize list is as follows, Lu Jinxi, Lu Jinchuan, Lu Changsheng"

"The first prize list is as follows, Lu Jinyuan, Gan Hui, everyone applauds, welcome our great heroes of the Lu family in Fuzhou"

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and everyone's applause and cheers echoed over Xingping Village.
The Lu family in Fuzhou has practiced martial arts since childhood and worshiped the strong and heroes.
Seeing the meritorious person on the stage, men, women and children applaud the meritorious person earnestly, and a child's palm became red.

When Lu Changgao heard his name, his face flushed with excitement, and he swung his fist vigorously on the spot. When Mrs. Zhen heard her son's name, she instantly beamed and straightened her waist, as if to show off that she had given birth to a beautiful baby. son;

Hearing Lu Jinxi's name, Uncle Shui who was sitting below burst into tears. They were tears of pride. His son is a hero in the clan. The dead son received this honor in exchange for his life;
The man of her own family made first-class meritorious service, and Qiao's sister-in-law was complimented by the women sitting around, and she gained a lot of limelight. Looking at her husband standing on the stage, Qiao's sister-in-law's eyes flickered, thinking about how to do well tonight Reward this good husband who makes his face bright;
The meritorious personnel and representatives stood on the commendation platform and received everyone's applause and cheers.

When Lu Changle took out the prize, there was another burst of amazement at the scene,

Persons with Grade C merit will get a five taels of silver medal,

Those with second-class merit will get a silver medal with a weight of twelve taels.

A person with first-class merit will get a five-liang gold medal,

Each sign is engraved with the name of the person who made the contribution and the contribution made,

They are all made of high-quality gold and silver. When money is tight, they can be used directly as money.

Lu Changle suspected that Xu Cheng, the Flying Tiger, was either the owner of the gold shop, or he had robbed the gold shop. There was a box with a lot of gold and silver wares in it.
Collecting local materials and finding out some gold and silver medals for criminals, Lu Changle spent a whole night,
engrave their names and deeds on gold and silver medals

These brands not only represent honor, but also represent real benefits,
The effect is good, looking at the smiling faces on the stage, and the envious eyes of the audience,
Lu Changle knew he was doing the right thing.

Give them the honor they deserve, give them tangible benefits, and inspire them to forge ahead and make contributions,

In this way, the clansmen will actively follow themselves to fight in order to make meritorious deeds,
Min'an is the first battle. If they want to make a difference in the troubled times, there are more battles waiting for them.

It's just that the effect is good, but it's a bit painful to spend the money.
27 people were killed and 380 people were injured, not to mention the practice of the clan,

The deceased is 50 taels per person, and 27 people are 350 taels.

The wounded are 20 taels per person, that is 640 taels,
Including the participation of twelve taels, here is nearly 7000 taels,
Just killing a Flying Tiger, not counting the cost of treatment and burial, a commendation meeting cost more than 5000 taels of silver,

Absolutely spend money like water,

No wonder last night when I was discussing with Second Uncle, Qing Erye, Fatty and the others, each of them gasped in pain,
In Erye Qing's words, they are all from his own family, so why be polite, a reward of three or five taels would be nice,
Lu Changle showed them the seizure again, told them the benefits of doing so, and finally used the authority of the patriarch, which made them reluctantly agree.

It is said that the three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, people are robbing land, money and food are the key,
You have to find a way to get more money and food.

　Another week, happy holidays!
