Chapter 59 0057 [Clear Rewards and Punishments]

After moving everything into the warehouse, the soldiers looked at Han Zhen anxiously.

Knowing what they were thinking, Han Zhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, your reward is indispensable. Zhang He, count the military exploits. If someone falsely claims or falsely claims military exploits, they will be dealt with by military law."

If the rewards are not distributed tonight, these soldiers may not even be able to sleep.

"Yes!"

Zhang He responded loudly, and then began to count the military exploits.

Such things as counting military exploits should have been the duty of military meritorious officers.

But now there is no such condition, and the number of soldiers is small, so let's make do with it.

The method of counting military exploits in ancient times was to cut off the head.

In order to prevent false leadership, there are also requirements for the heads cut off by soldiers.

For example, it is necessary to cut from the lower edge of the neck to leave the Adam's apple, so as to prevent soldiers from using the heads of women and children to impersonate.

Later, there were too many disadvantages of cutting off the head, and now it has evolved into cutting off the left ear.

After all, people only have one left ear, which is light and easy to carry.

Han Zhen didn't ask them to cut off their ears, so the battle achievements are basically oral accounts, plus other people's testimony.

Everyone wants military exploits, and they know each other well, so lying will definitely be exposed.

Soon, Zhang He counted his military exploits.

He dictated it, and Han Zhen wrote it down on paper.

Then, Han Zhen began to weigh the copper coins in front of the soldiers.

Three carts of copper coins are actually not many.

A basket of copper coins is about 25 guan, and already weighs more than 100 catties.

An ox cart was loaded with ten baskets, and no amount of oxen would be able to pull it, and even a simple wooden cart could not bear it.

After some weighing, the total was 780 guan, plus the silk and satin, barely made up a thousand guan.

Fifty percent was confiscated, and the remaining five hundred guan were given as a reward.

Under the expectant eyes of the soldiers, Han Zhen did not send the money immediately, but said coldly: "The two who violated the military order just now stand up and receive twenty army sticks!"

Hearing this, the soldiers turned their heads one after another and cast their eyes on those two people.

Knowing that there was no escape from this encounter, the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.

One of them swallowed his saliva and pleaded, "Village Chief, I know I was wrong. For the sake of my first crime, please forgive me this time."

"That's right, village chief, I won't dare again in the future." Another person hurriedly begged for mercy.

Han Zhen took a step forward and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Now you are punished on the ground, Zhang will fight them. If you dare to delay, I will fight myself!"

Whoa!

Without the slightest hesitation, the two quickly fell to the ground.

Are you kidding, let Han Zhen fight?
I'm afraid that if I stick it down, my life will be gone.

"I'm sorry!"

Zhang He and Wang Wu each hold a whistle stick.

Whistle sticks are a specialty of Jingdong Road, which were originally used to drive away wolves.

There are many wolves in the Taoist forests of Shandong, and merchants in the past used to carry a whistle stick.

There is a hole in one end of the whistle stick, which can be blown. When the whistle blows, it sounds like dragons and tigers roaring. When the wolves hear it, they think it is a beast. They will flee in panic, and the nearby people will come out to help when they hear the whistle.

Later, the nursing homes of some big families also began to use whistle sticks.

If you encounter villains or emergencies, you will blow the whistle, and the other end is solid, which can be used to defend against enemies.

Han Zhen watched from the side, Zhang He and Wang Wu didn't dare to lie, raised the whistle stick, and hit the two of them hard on the buttocks with the solid end.

After fighting in the county town, walking back to Xiaowang Village on foot, and then carrying the money, Zhang and the two actually had no energy left.

But even so, when the whistle stick fell, the two people who were still in pain cried like hell.

Seeing this, the onlookers swallowed one after another.

Although the twenty army sticks won't kill them, they won't come down for at least ten days and half a month.

For a while, everyone had a clear understanding of the military regulations.

After the twenty sticks were beaten, both of them were hoarse, their faces were pale, and their rough linen clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

Zhang He was also exhausted, panting slightly: "Village chief, the fight is over!"

"Okay, let's start distributing the rewards now, and call the ones whose names come up to collect the money."

Han Zhen nodded, held the list of military merits, and read: "Zhang He, beheaded five ranks, and the merit of being the first to ascend, the reward is 23 guan."

Whoa!
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

23 strings!
To them, this was a huge sum of money, enough to buy two cattle!
23 guan is indeed a lot, a whole basket.

"Thank you for the reward from the village chief!"

Zhang Hexi thanked him sincerely with a smile, and then dragged the basket to him in front of him.

At this moment, dragging a basket of copper coins, he felt as if he had inexhaustible strength.

"Wang Wu, behead three levels, and reward you with twelve strings."

"Hu Zhong..."

37 people, all of them have rewards, as many as Zhang He has more than [-] guan, and the few have three to five guan.

The two people who were punished by the rod were also divided into seven or eight.

Although the face is painful, there is a smile in the eyes, which perfectly interprets what is pain and happiness.

"After going back, take a good rest, and gather at Guchang at [-]:[-] tomorrow."

"Order!"

Hearing Han Zhen's order, everyone responded loudly.

Glancing at the two lying on the ground, Han Zhen ordered: "Sangou, help send them back."

With twenty sticks down, there is no way to walk, not to mention that the two of them still have a reward of thirty or forty catties.

Hearing this, Ma Sangou and Xiaochong helped them up and put them on their backs, while Han Zhen helped them carry the reward money.

Sending the two of them home one by one, Han Zhen put down the reward, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "I will send some plasters tomorrow, and you will be able to raise them at home in the next few days, and report to the army when you are better. I will teach you a lesson today, and don't do it again in the future."

Qian Yang nodded solemnly, and promised: "Village Chief, I understand, and I will never violate military regulations again in the future!"

When he was beaten with a military stick just now, he hated Han Zhen very much in his heart.

But after the reward was distributed, most of the hatred dissipated in an instant.

Without him, rewards and punishments are clear.

Then Han Zhen asked someone to carry him back, so as to comfort him. After this operation, he felt a surge of gratitude in his heart. He just felt that he was dizzy and shouldn't have violated military regulations.

"Well, take a good rest."

Han Zhen patted him on the back, turned around and left the room.

After he left, the woman immediately cried out, "You goddamn man, why did you beat you up like this? We are no longer a soldier. If you continue to be a soldier, I'm afraid I'll beat you to death."

"I'm not dead yet, why cry?"

Qian Yang reprimanded his mother-in-law, and then explained: "I was beaten because I violated military regulations."

Wiping her tears, the woman said aggrievedly: "Then you can't beat him so hard."

"What do you know, it looks like a bluff, and it will be fine after a few days."

After Qian Yang finished speaking, he pointed to the basket in the corner and said triumphantly, "Look at the bounty you earned."

Hearing this, the woman noticed that there was an extra basket in the room.

After seeing the bright yellow copper coins in the basket by the dim oil lamp, I couldn't help exclaiming: "Why are there so many?"

"Not too much, not too much, just eight pennies."

Qian Yang waved his hand, looking nonchalant.

"Baguan?"

The woman screamed and quickly covered her mouth.

Qian Yang thought about it: "What is this? After I raise the general, I will earn some military merit. Then we will build a brick house..."

People's hearts are like this. When they have a house, they will feel that they lack a farm ox.

When I have farm cattle, I will want to eat better...
