Chapter 1401 Enfeoffment (5)

When Zhao Hu and the others were busy, they didn't know if it was because of the one thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, or some other reason. Anyway, the border has been calm these days without even a single disturbance.

And those wealthy families under the rule of Mingyue City were indeed as bad as Sun Jie said. When they received the summoning order from the lord of Mingyue City a few days ago, they rushed to Mingyue City, fearing that their territory would be confiscated if they were late.Who would have thought that they would just step into the gate of hell and be wiped out by the cavalry.

The ones that are still left are the young masters who stayed at home, or the previous patriarchs who didn't die, or the empty patriarchs who didn't have many soldiers.

When this guy found out that the main force of his family had been killed by the mysterious cavalry, he shrank back in his lair in fear, not daring to go anywhere.

Now that they got the order from the new lord, they hesitated for a while, and finally after some struggles, they gritted their teeth and went to have an audience.

And the mercenary regiment, which had begun to gather troops to prepare for the battle as early as they learned of the internal turmoil in Mingyue City, waited left and right, but did not wait for Mingyue City to come to invite them to fight, but waited until the new lord issued an invitation to be a guest.

Although they were very surprised why Mingyue City was finished so quickly, they still went there happily. To them, it was the same for anyone to be a lord, as long as they had money to make.

In this way, the leaders of the remaining forces in the territory of Mingyue City rushed to Mingyue City with a feeling of anxiety, and Mod, the only one who was out on the first day, threw the control of the army to Juan indifferently, and led his men to fly quickly. ran back.

Even idiots know that the reward that has been delayed for a long time is about to be carried out. If it is a small soldier, it will be the same whether it comes back or not, and the reward will not be less.But a big day like Maud's is not enough, sometimes a bad word can save hundreds of stones of land!
In the hall on the first floor of the castle tower, Mod and Atsushi Nangong sat in the front row respectively. Since the subordinates were not qualified to sit in this row, there were only the two of them.However, the two lonely people were not interested in Hara. They both squinted their eyes and sat upright without making a sound.

Unlike them, the vassals in the second row who were former bandit leaders were chatting happily at the moment, but what was a little weird was that they turned to Shi Gao without saying a few words, but immediately turned away as soon as they opened their mouths, letting others It's hard to watch.

Kai Hai, who was in this row, was chatting with his colleague Hara, while looking at Mod and Atsushi Nangong.He thought he should sit in the first row, but considering that he didn't have any subordinates at all, it would be embarrassing to rush forward and be intercepted by the two of them, so he had to endure it for the time being.

And the third row is the surrendered retainers in the city. Although they are not as loud as those rogue retainers, they still whisper.

The quietest place is the local rich family with only three or four kittens in the last row. These rich family members are now completely flustered and uneasy. They don’t have the mood to speak, but they dare not raise their heads to look around. They are like angry little cats. Same as daughter-in-law.

"My lord is here!" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and everyone fell silent immediately, and all bent down and knelt on the ground.

"See my lord!" Moder and Nan Gongdun led the crowd to shout at the same time.

"Get up." Zhao Hu said as he sat down cross-legged.

Sun Jie and Aokede sat on both sides, Zhou Wen sat behind Zhao Hu, and Locke and Luo Fei sat on both sides in front of Zhao Hu.

"Thank you, my lord." Maud and the others quickly sat upright.

Only then did Zhao Hu discover that these guys had changed into a set of gorgeous clothes, their hair and faces were all neatly groomed, and they had completely lost their former rogue appearance.

"Well, I don't want to talk nonsense. This time I called you here, one is to confirm your future work, and the other is to confer your Shi Gao." As soon as Zhao Hu said this, the temperature at the scene suddenly rose several degrees. Everyone's breathing also became rapid.

However, Zhao Hu is still whetting everyone's appetite: "However, before conferring, I want to say that the territory conferred by my Qin family does not include resources such as minerals. If minerals are found in the territory, it will be transferred."

Hearing this, the vassal-born retainers were just taken aback and didn't care. What they cared about was the glory and food brought by the territory, and they didn't care about anything else.

On the other hand, Nan Gongdun and his subordinates had a bitter look on their faces. The harvest in the southeast peninsula was very low, and it was impossible to live comfortably by relying on Shi Gao alone.

The maintenance of the samurai's luxurious life mainly depends on other resources in the territory, especially minerals.The lord made such a decision, wouldn't it mean that people like himself can only live on Shi Gao in the future?

Similarly, when the retainers were surprised that the territory only had food, everyone was even more surprised when they heard the word "Qin family". The owner of the house will do.

It's funny to say that most of the retainers surrendered and still don't know the name of the new master's family. It's really shameful.

But Mo De, Nangong Dun, and Fei Er, who knew Zhao Hu's name, were depressed. As soon as they heard that the lord had changed their surname, they knew that the lord was going to directly control Mingyue City.

Doesn't the lord know that this is deception?In this way, what can these people do?But at this time, there was no way to dissuade him, so he had to lower his head to hide his expression.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhao Hu smiled: "Don't worry, I also know that relying on Shi Gao alone is difficult, so all ranks of the Qin family have matching monthly salaries."

Monthly salary?How much monthly salary can I have? I am afraid I can only maintain a decent life with difficulty, right?Both Nangong Dun and the surrender smiled wryly.Can they protest?If you don't show face at this time, you will definitely be executed.

As for the rogue retainers, they praised happily, they still like money subconsciously.

However, Zhao Hu said: "At the same time, except for minerals, the resources in each territory can be used freely." Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, especially Nangong Dun and Jiang Chen, who had a bad feeling towards Zhao Hu because of the confiscation of minerals just now. It disappeared immediately.

It is very simple for them to react like this. Although the minerals were generally owned by the main family in the past, the retainers were able to mine secretly in their own territory. It would be absolutely painful to lose this income.

However, although there are no minerals now, other resources that are also controlled by the owner, such as wood, can be mined by honest people. Compared with before, they can make more money now.

After everyone was excited for a while, Zhao Hu's expression changed and he became serious. Everyone knew that the main event was coming, and they held their breaths to listen.

I only heard Zhao Hu say: "It was Nan Gongdun who broke the city here for my Qin family and made the first military honor. In addition, Nan Gongdun took the head of the original city lord. He has made outstanding achievements. He is now named a general of the Qin family. Receive five hundred stones and a salary of one hundred guan.

When they heard the five hundred stones from the general, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this lord too generous?A small servant general has five hundred stone territory?And there is a salary of [-] per month?
Now that the market price of grain is one stone more than twice, isn't it equivalent to adding fifty stones to the territory every month?It's wonderful to keep up with such a protagonist!
Atsushi Nangong was bitter for a while.

I only got five hundred stones for such a major feat, and I not only contributed five secret guards, but also cleaned up the family. If I had known this, I would have followed the plan of the elders, at least my family could get the place where they live now. It is located in a mountainous area, instead of only five hundred stones like it is now.

Nangong Bing was extremely angry. He never expected that his family would get such a little territory because of this Zhao Hu. If he had known about it, he would have taken refuge in Mingyue City.

Of course, although Nangong Bing is young, he also understands that resisting now is courting death, so he can only lower his head and grit his teeth.

"The Nangong family has made great contributions in presenting secret guards. Furthermore, the head of the family is young, promising, loyal, and awarded [-] stone." Zhao Hu continued.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly raised their heads and stared at Nangong Dun. Nangong Dun felt that he had jumped from hell to heaven. He was so excited that he trembled all over his body. After a while, he suppressed his excitement and kowtowed to thank him: "I dare not be a servant!" , Thank you Lord for the reward."

Now he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to say anything on the scene, fearing that if he said something polite, Zhao Hu would take the opportunity to take it back, and then he might even feel like cutting his neck.

Everyone was extremely jealous, especially Maude, although he was already mentally prepared for Nangong Dun to receive a huge reward, but.Unexpectedly, it was such a shocking reward from Wan Shi Shigao!

What is Wanshi?In the southeast peninsula, the territory of Wanshi is a prince!
Now Nangong Bing opened his mouth in surprise, salivating.I knew that the lord was generous, but I didn't expect him to be so generous!
According to the routine, the meritorious service made by my third uncle is the reward of two thousand stones, but I didn't expect it to be ten thousand stones!Oh my god, one of the Nangong family has become a prince?

"Mo De opened up the territory for our Qin family and made great contributions. He is now named a general of the Qin family, receiving five hundred shi and a monthly salary of [-] guan. The Mo De family received five thousand shi." Hearing Zhao Hu's words, the original furnace Maude, who was burning in the fire, immediately felt cool and comfortable all over, and the whole person was so happy that he was stupid.

I am a small bandit leader, and I can actually own a territory of [-] shi!He thinks that he has no family and is alone, so he regards the territory entrusted to the family as his own.

Everyone didn't care about Mod's acquisition of so many territories, after all, Mod's meritorious service was second.

But everyone is still a little confused, why the lord wants to divide the family's territory separately?According to the convention, they should be counted together. Does the lord distinguish the individual from the family?
Thinking of this more flexibly, some people's faces changed, and Nangong Dun was one of them.

"Kaihai fought bravely and made great achievements in attacking the city. He is now enfeoffed as a general of the Qin family, receiving five hundred shi and a monthly salary of one hundred guan.

"Feier has made great contributions in assisting the Qin family to take over the territory. He is now named the general of the Qin family, receiving five hundred shi and a monthly salary of one hundred guan.".
