Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 197 Soldiers' Relief! (seeking subscription)
"Young Master Gao Yi!" All the generals said in unison.

Fu Su said with a determined face: "Generals, don't be too happy so early. The court does have the idea of ​​honoring the rewards, but you generals should also know that the imperial court owes a lot of merits and rewards, and they can't be honored in a short time. Therefore, the generals in the army need to take care of them for a year or two."

"How dare you refuse." The crowd said loudly.

They look excited.

If the court can really fulfill the rewards promised back then, it will undoubtedly be a great encouragement and inspiration to the army. The morale of the army has been ups and downs in recent years. The main reason is that the service period has been lengthened again and again.

Again.

The rewards that the imperial court should have honored have not been honored. This has caused many soldiers in the army to have ideas. It is only because Meng Tian's prestige is high enough and the imperial court has enough prestige in the past that the army can always be stable. However, this is not destined to be a long-term strategy.

Only by solving it can future troubles be eliminated.

Now that the imperial court is beginning to solve the problem, the big rock hanging in their hearts can finally be let go. How can this not make them feel excited and excited?

These are all soldiers who fought with them through life and death!
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Fusu continued: "Now the money and rations I brought have been handed over to the general. I, Fusu, don't want to get involved too much, but let me first say that the money and rations are for the soldiers. I will never allow any problems during the distribution process. If there are problems, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Meng Tian said: "Don't worry, eldest son."

"These money and food are all verified according to the standard of 'first inspection', and there will never be any omissions or corruption."

"The money and food will also be distributed in front of Wanjun. It will take three days to study, and all the soldiers will have no objections before they can finally return to the papers."

"The eldest son can be supervised by the army."

Fusu nodded.

After the important matter was finished, the atmosphere in the room relaxed.

When the other generals went down to announce the matter and summoned the soldiers to carry the money and food, Meng Tian and Fu Su came together.

Meng Tian worried: "My lord, does the court really want to solve it?"

"There is no room for falsehood."

"The soldiers are very concerned about this. If they know that they are being deceived by the court, not only will the soldiers' hearts be uneasy, but there may also be turmoil in the army."

"I have to be careful."

For Meng Tian's worry, Fu Su knew it well.

Over the years, the court has been afraid to face this problem, and has been trying to solve it in other ways. The most simple and crude method is to relocate the population, but this has already caused deep resentment in the army, but it can barely be stabilized.

If it is known that I have been deceived again
Even if Meng Tian didn't need to remind him, he knew that shaking the morale of the army would be devastating.

Fusu's eyes were firm and he said: "Don't worry, General, this is indeed the focus of the court in the future, but you can also think that it is my selfishness for Fusu."

"Young master, what do you mean by this?" Meng Tian said in a concentrated voice.

Fusu sighed softly, and said: "I brought up the issue of meritorious service on my own initiative, and there were very few responses from the imperial court. Although the imperial father secretly agreed, there was a lot of resistance from the imperial court. Even the money and food had to be disputed for several days before a resolution was made. It will take a long time for it to be honored."

heard.

Meng Tian's face was a little dignified.

As Fusu said, isn't it still undecided?

If Fusu failed to convince the courtiers in the end, wouldn't it be that he broke his promise?
Seeing Meng Tian's ugly face, Fu Su roughly guessed Meng Tian's thoughts, with a stern look on his face, he said with a smile: "You don't need to worry too much, General. Since Fu Su dares to say this, I have a way to make it happen, but I still need some time to push it."

"It's just that the general also knows that the imperial court can't afford so many fields and houses, so he can only make up for it in other ways. I have made detailed arrangements for these."

"I believe the soldiers will accept this reward!"

Hearing Fusu's words, Meng Tian frowned.

Most of the debt owed by the imperial court is mainly the fields and houses under the military merit system. If there is really a way to get the soldiers to give up the fields and houses, the imperial court may have done it long ago, and how could it be the turn to help Su?
Fusu obviously didn't want to go into details, and he didn't want to ask too much, he just said: "My lord, I don't know much about the affairs of the court, but about the army, you must not get distracted."

"Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must be observed!"

Fu Su said in a deep voice: "Meng Tian, ​​you and I have known each other for many years, but you still don't know my character? How could I make fun of the safety of the country? It's just some specific situations, and it's not easy to tell the outside world. You can only tell when the time comes, otherwise it may cause damage to others."

"At that time, I, Fu Su, will really be reprimanded for breaking my word and going back on my word."

see.

Meng Tian pondered for a moment and didn't ask any further questions.

He looked deeply at Fusu, looking back and forth. He didn't know much about the situation in the past half a year, but he had heard about it to some extent. In addition, Meng Yi wrote him a letter some time ago, and he also knew more or less about Fusu's recent situation.

Now that I can see it in person, I am shocked to realize the changes in Fusu.

The current Fusu has lost her original childishness and is a bit more mature and stable. Compared with the passionate and passionate past, she is now a bit colder.

Meng Tian said: "My lord is thorough."

Twilight.

The Qin army camp was excited and jubilant like never before.

Fusu brought more than a hundred carts of royal wine, and held a grand military reward ceremony.

Unprecedented.

Each centurion was rewarded with a jar of royal wine.

Among the historical rewards of the army, imperial wine is symbolic to the soldiers. It is very rare for a team of thousands of people to get a jar of imperial wine and water to drink. Today, when they help Jiangsu go north, they can get a jar of imperial wine for a hundred people. The standard of reward is far beyond ordinary.

into the night.

Reward ceremony.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers lined up on the prairie with a torch in their hands, as straight as the stars in the sky.

Meng Tian on the cloud chariot shouted to share the wine, and in a short while, a soldier rode his horse to convey the order to distribute the wine to the ears of every hundred generals. In a short while, the pottery bowls in front of each soldier were filled with [-]-[-]% real imperial wine.

For soldiers, this is a supreme honor.

Under the hunting torches, all the soldiers raised their pottery bowls high.

Following Meng Tian's shout again, this time the soldiers didn't even need to send orders, the soldiers on the grassland subconsciously raised their bowls to drink, and then bursts of jubilation that shook the entire Yinshan grassland broke out in the back field.

The sound of Great Qin Wannian filled the entire prairie.

The noise gradually died down.

Fusu appeared on the platform of Yunche.

His figure, compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of him, was too small.

He looked up and saw that the crowd was so dark that he couldn't see the end at a glance. These were the soldiers of the Great Qin, and they were the sharp soldiers of the Great Qin who were feared by the world as tigers and wolves.

Qin Youruishi, who will compete with him? !

Fusu was also excited. Standing on the cloud cart, he said in a high voice: "All officers and men, Fusu is ordered by His Majesty to go to Beiyuan to reward the army. Today's reward is far more than the previous war of annihilating the country."

"What's the reason?"

"Only in one place!"

"Da Qin owes his second and third sons too much!"

"In the past 20 years, the second and third sons followed the Great Qin in the southern and northern conquests, destroyed the six kingdoms, quelled the internal conflicts in China, expelled the Xiongnu, quelled the foreign troubles in China, and protected the internal and external stability of the Great Qin, so that the world can be peaceful."

"This is all thanks to the second and third sons."

"But the imperial court has done too little for you. It's not because you don't want to, but because there was nothing you could do before. The world has accumulated evils for a long time, and the new dynasty has just established. There are too many things to do. The imperial court really can't spare extra money and food, and there is no way to honor the rewards given to you so quickly."

"At present, the world has been settled for nearly ten years."

"The court has initially sorted out the world, and has accumulated some money and food, but it is unwilling and does not want to continue to disappoint the second and third sons. The second and third sons have paid too much for Daqin."

"As the victors of the world war, not only did you not get any peace, but you followed the imperial government's orders without hesitation, went to various places, left your hometown, and did not have the attitude of a winner at all, and all of this is owed by Daqin to you."

"This time I helped Su go north, just to tell the second and third sons."

"That's going to change."

"It will definitely change!"

"The imperial court can't do much at the moment. It can only raise millions of gold in money and food to reward the soldiers who destroyed the country and expelled the Huns. This is the reward you deserve as victors."

"While it's fun."

"I, Fusu, don't want to talk too much."

"All the military officials listened to the order and brought up the hundreds of carts of money and cloth."

"Tonight, distribute money cloth!!!"

Fusu's voice echoed on the high cloud car.

The prairie is silent.

There was no sound for a long time.

After Fusu's words spread throughout the army, the entire Yinshan Grassland instantly resounded like thunder.

"Daqin Wannian!"

"The eldest son is ten thousand years!!!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, and lasted for a long time.

In the more rear camp.

Liao Ke and the others sat on the ground, their eyes were very dazed, some couldn't believe what the messenger said, Yuan even asked Liao Ke to hit him a few times, it was sure that it hurt, but in the end they didn't like it, instead they cried.

Yuan was far from alone in crying like this.

But many, many.

The emotions they had suppressed for a long time in the army all these years, at this moment, they finally couldn't hold back, and burst into tears directly. The man did not flick his tears lightly, but they didn't reach the point of sadness.

They have been wronged too much over the years.

Even they had already tacitly believed that the court had given up, and now they heard that the court had not given up on themselves, and they wanted to send them money. All kinds of emotions in their hearts were mixed, and finally vented out with the sound of crying.

It was a cry of mixed emotions.

Mixed with excitement, grievances, hesitation, excitement and so on.

In the end, along with the crying, these emotions turned into a relieved smile.

After venting his emotions, Yuan was also completely agitated. He found a bamboo stick from nowhere and pulled out the weeds under him, exposing the naked earth.

He gestured on it and said excitedly: "I did the calculations just now. I have fought large and small battles in the past ten years. Excluding the money and food given by the army before, I really calculated that I still have at least three or four hundred dollars in the rewards I should have received from the government."

"The messenger said just now that the eldest son brought money cloth worth millions of gold."

"We have an army of 30, and each person's apportionment is about three gold, only four to five hundred dollars. Of course, some people have been in the army for a longer period of time, and have made more achievements. Naturally, they should get more. Even if it is considered this way, I, Yuan, can get at least three hundred dollars."

"This is enough food for my family for one and a half years."

Speaking of which.

Yuan's face was also filled with excitement and joy.

Can't stand him being unhappy.

This is more than 300 yuan, which can buy a full six or seven stones of millet.

If the money is sent to the family, the family's situation will be greatly improved. If the imperial court finally divides his land and house that should be assigned to the title of hairpin, the life of his family will be greatly changed.

How could he be unhappy?
Isn't he working hard outside for the sake of a better life at home?
Last year, I received a letter from my family, saying that it was almost impossible to open the pot. At that time, there was still some time before the autumn harvest. I finally went to Lizheng’s house to borrow half a shi of rice, which made me barely able to survive.

Think of this.

Yuan's eyes turned red again.

Liao Ke patted Yuan on the shoulder, unable to say anything.

He knows the situation of Yuan's family. There is an elder brother in the family, but his hand was injured during the war and he can't exert his strength. There are two women, three children, and two elderly people.

Life is hard.

His parents even wanted to die many times.

As a result, he was rescued when he jumped into the river, and he also suffered from tuberculosis, and could not move easily. As a young man in his family, he could not fulfill his filial piety at home, and all livelihoods were on the woman's shoulders.

When there is no one around, I often cry because of this.

Yuan turned his head to the side, not wanting Liao Ke to laugh at him.

Liao Ke said: "What I said earlier, the army will change, you didn't believe it before, but now you can believe it? The situation in the future will only get better, not worse."

"even"

Liao Ke looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that many people will not be able to serve in the frontier in the future. We are already one step ahead of many people."

Hearing Liao Ke's words, Yuan, who was still a little sad at first, suddenly looked over. He also looked around vigilantly, let the other people sit inside, and said in a low voice: "Lieutenant Chief, tell us the truth, did you know that the eldest son would come? You also knew that there was a situation on the border guards? That's why you came in on purpose?"

Several other people also stared at Liao Ke closely.

Liao Ke shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I don't have that ability. My title is inherited from my father, but it's a bit higher than most of you. I'm Zan Niao. What is this title worth in the current army?"

"Catch a handful."

"But I do have some news that the outside world doesn't know."

"When I served in Xianyang, I was a servant of a big man for a while. This big man is very powerful. Many decisions of the court actually have his shadow."

"And he is very respected by the eldest son."

"This time we were able to share the money reward, and it was also the suggestion of this big man. I came to the army and also listened to this big man's suggestion. He told me that the army will change, and it will become an opportunity for us low-level people to climb up in the future."

"But I don't know exactly what will happen."

"I'm not qualified to know either."

"Now that we all have titles and are still in the army, we should cherish them. I have a hunch that we won't stay in the army for too long. Some of us will leave the army in a few years or a few months, and leaving at that time may have a great impact on our future."

"The imperial court began to pay attention to us."

"That must solve the reward of the military meritorious lord."

"This may be our only chance to get ahead in the future."

Liao Ke looked around and said solemnly: "The army of Beiyuan is 30, no matter how generous the court is and how many opportunities it gives us, there are bound to be a few who can catch it. If we can seize it, we may be able to soar into the sky, so that our family will no longer have to work so hard, and even become prosperous."

Liao Ke lowered his voice very low.

But his expression was extremely firm and determined.

Yuan and the others frowned.

It's not that they don't believe it, it's just that it sounds unbelievable. Guarding the border is a very hard job. If it wasn't for being forced to recruit, no one would come here, so how could it become a beautiful job?
Again.

Isn't the reward of the military merit system just the land and house?
How does this make them soar?
It's just that they have been in contact with Liao Ke for a while, and they know that Liao Ke is a very pragmatic person and basically not good at talking big things, and the arrival of Fu Su also verified what Liao Ke said.

Maybe something that they couldn't predict will really happen in the military in the future.

Enough to affect the future of many people.

Several people looked at each other, and their eyes became firm.

It's just that they are still a little curious, how can they improve in the army?

Why can't a few of them go to Liting to sweep the hole?

I have the heart, but I don't have the guts.

Someone suddenly said: "I haven't memorized the Jiujiu Jue and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches yet. During this period of rest, I will memorize these things in the military camp, and practice calligraphy on the ground when I have time. Mastering this thing is better than not mastering it. There is also arithmetic."

"The chief corps has said so, brothers must seize the opportunity."

"No matter what, as long as you are better than others, it will be better no matter what."

Several others also nodded.

They have already thought about how to make themselves outstanding. Apart from learning characters and arithmetic, there will be spring shooting in the near future. After thinking about it, they think the easiest thing to do is to kill the Huns.

Several people looked at each other, and there were smiles on the corners of their mouths, and they all knew it.

at this time.

A messenger came to pass the order.

Let them go to the knight's camp to receive money rewards.

Several people got up from the ground, patted the mud on their buttocks, and went to Daying with a smile. Within a quarter of an hour, the five of them came back with a big bag of Qin Banliang in their hands.

Clinking all the way.

The money reward they got this time was almost in full.

Liao Ke received very little money, only the money reward for participating in the extermination of Qi in the past, as for the others, he did not participate in it, and he got the least money reward for a group of five people.

But Liao Ke was very satisfied.

If you're not in the army, I'm afraid you won't be able to get this.

It was a happy night in the army, everyone had money rewards in their arms, jingling bells rang throughout the camp, and some old soldiers who received large money rewards even proudly showed off their past glory and glory.

The army is determined! ! !

　The two shifts will start tomorrow, and I'm not very good at writing the plots in the army. I write very slowly, less than a thousand words in an hour.
