Chapter 94 Yamen
The salt merchant was not only sick, but also seriously ill.

There was nothing to talk about back to Qingyuan. They took a jar of Yangzhou snow wine, traveled day and night, and Chen Mu and others rode back to Qingyuan in three days.

Back to the Qianhu House in Qingcheng, the oppressive atmosphere brought about by the victims of the war has long since disappeared, and everyone is beaming with joy—the reward from the imperial court has come down.

There are more than five hundred banner troops in the thousand households, and every household has a reward.

Bai Yuanjie distributed five taels of silver to each household for the reward for death in battle. Hundreds of people survived, the few got eight or nine taels, and the many got three or forty taels. Come the silver.

Xinjiang Town was a big battle for Qingcheng Qianhusuo. The imperial court didn't give much rewards, only nine coins for a head, but it couldn't hold back the merits of the heads of Qingcheng Qianhusuo's flag army.

Chen Muqi alone won more than 400 first-level meritorious service, and only more than 20 military households came back alive, and the banner officials were rewarded.

The money was divided, but it was not for Chen Mu, but he didn't feel at all comforted, on the contrary, he was very happy.

The imperial court didn't have enough money, and the rewards for these meritorious officials were to give no money, and to ask for money but not to give.

Chen Mu didn't care about the reward of one hundred and ten taels of silver as the Xiangshan Thousand Households held great power.

Master Chen is not short of money!
"Did you go to your Qianhu House to see it?" Zhang Yongshou drank a bowl of snow wine, his face was full of envy, and he didn't forget to complain, "It's the first time in Zhang's life that he sees someone who can afford snow wine." , there are only pottery bowls in the house!"

"If it wasn't for Jing Chen who stopped me, I would have sent some glass cups from Fenghuang Street!"

Chen Mu smiled, this Zongqi yamen is Mai Tai, the tables and chairs were moved from the old leaky house in the Hundred Households, and there is no decoration, what is there to say, he touched the bowl with Zhang Yongshou with a smile, and said: "Okay, I know that Zhang Qianhu's family is rich, and the commander of the ancestors, can you compare with me, who has never seen the world?"

"Tell me! I heard from Bai Qi that the governor asked you to be a Qianhu in Xiangshan, and Jingchen happily invited me to drink for three days in a row. The barracks are on holiday!" Zhang Yongshou laughed loudly, "The Qianhu in Xiangshan How about it?"

Bai Yuanjie wasn't as happy and angry as Zhang Yongshou, but he couldn't hide the joy on his resolute face, and said, "In the whole of Guangzhou, no one is promoted as fast as you. Even in the whole of Guangdong, only Chen Lin can compare with you." !"

Chen Lin is the defense of Guangdong, but Chen Mu knows that he is not because he is the defense of Guangdong now, but because he is the commander of the Luliang naval battle in the Wanli Aid Korea War decades later, defeating Shimadzu Yoshihiro and winning the battle victory.

It was also this battle that made Deng Zilong, who was 70 years old at the time, die for his country.

"I didn't see Chen Shoubei in Guangzhou. Qianhu knew him?"

Chen Mu remembered that Bai Yuanjie mentioned it the first time he heard Chen Lin.

Bai Yuanjie nodded, and said: "If you see him, you might as well make friends. You will inevitably deal with the navy in Xiangshan. Chen Chaojue has two navy commanders under him. I will write to him later. If you have any problems, you can go to him." , he is anxious for justice, and will help you if he needs help."

Seeing Chen Mu's curious gaze, Bai Yuanjie smiled and said, "He was in command from the beginning, and there were many contacts at that time."

"Chen Chaojue is a wild son. His ancestors were neither guards nor civil servants. After studying for several years, he only wanted to make great contributions and do great things. He made many friends in Wengyuan when he was young, and he has a heroic spirit."

"I'm just two or three years older than you. I'm 25 this year. When he was [-] years old, he caught up with the Universiade. Governor Zhang Nie wanted to fight Japanese pirates. No one under his command was available. He issued a five-rank reward, and Chen Chaojue led the villagers to apply. Continuing meritorious deeds, a few battles, and after the battle, he served as a commanding officer."

Bai Yuanjie smiled, and said, "It's similar to you, a few battles have made thousands of households!"

"Qianhu is giving up Beishan's first contribution to humble officials, otherwise Qianhu can go further."

"The commander is old, and it's meaningless for Bai to be a commander. I thought it would be useful to give you the first achievement, but I didn't expect you to have two first achievements and one extraordinary achievement." Bai Yuanjie shook his head, and then said calmly: " Well, you are also a thousand households now, don't be humble, just call me elder brother if you don't mind, it sounds good to your ears."

Chen Mu responded immediately, and made another toast with a bowl of wine. Zhang Yongshou, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, squatted on the chair without image and clapped his hands.

clap clap!

"Okay, what are you two old brothers seeing here? I, old Zhang, haven't dared to meet you two. If you don't say anything, don't you treat me like a human being?" Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and called, "Hurry up, the family is separated, the family property should be divided, the family property should be divided, the important person should be important, and we have to talk about business after we are done!"

"I've never seen you two being so clingy on the battlefield!"

There was an atmosphere of brotherly love, which was disturbed by Mr. Zhang.

"Okay, Erlang, Bai will talk first." Bai Yuanjie straightened his face, tapped his hands on the table for a moment, and asked, "Xiangshan ruled Fanyi, and you are employing people. Five banner officials, if Bai You are only allowed to take one away, who are you taking?"

One?
"Hachiro."

Without hesitation, Chen Mu said, "I'll take Balang away."

"Hachiro?"

Bai Yuanjie asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Five small flags, all four of them have the ability to take care of a hundred households. If they stay under the elder brother's subordinates, they can also do a good job in the responsibility of a hundred households. Hachiro is different. He is no better than Tinda in martial arts, less intelligent than Shi Qi, and not enough to pay for it." , Suppressing sergeants is not as good as Chimai."

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Without Mr. Chen, he wouldn't survive for a few days."

In fact, it is not difficult to accept some things after you have figured it out. Several subordinates go forward side by side, and there will always be a time to separate, not to mention that they will never disappear in the future. They will always be Chen Ye's subordinates, as long as they have a good future , this is also easy to reason about.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuanjie raised her head and laughed twice, waved her hands and said, "Those crooked melons and dates of yours can't be counted as hundreds of households in Bai's place, so let's go with you and let them become hundreds of households in your place. "

"Ok?"

"Okay, Jingchen is just teasing you. We have discussed it long ago. When your letter was not reported, Jingchen asked if you were going to be transferred to the camp by the governor to do defense. I was afraid that your hand There is no money in the money, and he said that he would leave you with [-] mu of private land for two years."

Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and said with a laugh: "It's nothing for you now, I will share the land in Qingcheng with Jingchen, you can go to Xiangshan by yourself, haha!"

"Five small flags, let Bai go, but you have to refer to a few military households who can farm. The military farm will not be reserved for you. The harvest in two seasons is nearly a thousand stones. I really don't know how you plant it. Hundred households You have to keep half of the [-] stone grain, and take the rest if you want, or let Yongshou exchange it for silver at [-]% of the market price, so as to save luck."

Bai Yuanjie was a well-thought-out person, everything in Qingcheng Qianhu Office seemed to have been planned long ago, there was no chance for Chen Mu to intervene, everything was properly arranged.

"You have an idea, just don't say it. Go to Xiangshan, ask for iron or copper, and send someone to send a message. We have everything in Qingyuan. You prepare silver, and Yongshou will send it to you." Bai Yuanjie said and patted the table. As for the case, the big brother came out with his style, directly settled the matter, picked up the wine bowl and said: "I won't say anything else, you are from Qingyuanwei, go home and have a look if you have nothing to do."

"You broke the general banner of the yamen, my brother will keep it for you!"
