But I have to say that Wu Zetian's decree finally solved the most difficult problem of the Unity Camp at present.

At least... the food household is real.

Now Qin Shaoyou is the commander of the Tuanjie Camp in Henan Province. There are currently four battalions of troops on the Tuanjie Camp in Henan Province, with a number of nearly 1,000. In this way, there are 15,000 households in food households. This is definitely an astonishing number, which is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized county.

According to the equal land order, these 5,000 households have nearly 500,000 mu of land, and 500,000 mu of land support one thousand people. Although the previous investment is not possible, at least Qin Shaoyou can stop the loss in the future and no longer have to worry about food and wages.

Of course, all the rebels' equipment and food were also rewarded to Tuan Yong, which was quite generous. Although Wu Zetian was suspected of giving Buddha with flowers, he was the emperor and the emperor himself did not like to reason with others.

As for the issue of staffing, it is actually a favorable situation. Tuanjie Camp had a nominal household in the past 3,000 households, but the county actually only allocated 800 households. Why is this? It’s just that even if you feel that you have suffered a loss and the lawsuit is over to Henan Prefecture, Henan Prefecture will be somewhat biased towards the county. It is precisely because of this that Mengjin County will not take Tuanjie Camp seriously.

Now a unity camp is set up, which is an independent institution, so there is no connection with the local area. The people in the county don’t have to pay attention to it. Even if the people in Henan Prefecture come, they can leave it aside. Qiu Bacai won’t reason with you.

Qin Shaoyou is busy thanking for his grace.

Wu Zetian continued, "The most significant contribution of this is that you, Qin Shaoyou, are you. Please tell me, how should you reward me?"

Even if the ministers hate Qin Shaoyou, they know that this credit was made by others with one sword and one shot. It makes no sense not to give a reward. But this guy is really a bit evil. Given the various actions of this person in school before, it makes people feel a little scared, so everyone has to keep their minds. Someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, such great merits should be rewarded highly. I think that Qin Duwei had previously been granted the title of County Bo for his merits. I think that he could be granted the title of Marquis of Mengjin County to show his grace."

Qin Shaoyou was indeed a county uncle before, but now he was named the county magistrate. This is the title of a thousand households. Many people have fought on the battlefield for their whole lives. I am afraid they may not be able to get it.

Wu Zetian frowned and shook his head and said, "It's not enough, it's still a little short. You might as well be the county magistrate, with 1,500 households in food."

Cui Feng also frowned and reminded carefully: "Sage, this county magistrate is from the second rank... Qin Shaoyou is the commander of the commander..."

Wu Zetian said lightly: "It's decided that everything has special circumstances. If someone can imitate Qin Shaoyou and make such great military achievements in the future, I will never be stingy in rewarding you. Extraordinary merits, of course, we must be grateful for you. I am not afraid of rewarding too much, but I am afraid that no one can reward you. The so-called country is in trouble, and now it is a troublesome time. Only in this way can the soldiers serve you. As for other meritorious ministers in the Unity Camp, you must have everything you deserve. Your Zhongshu Fengge will write a list and I will approve it."

Speaking of this, Cui Feng could only be silent and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said so much. Since this is the case, I will be determined to fulfill my mission."

call……

Hearing the word "County Duke", Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief. He knew in his heart that this time, Wu Zetian really promoted him out of order.

To a certain extent, the title of Wu Zhou is actually quite popular, but it is not as stingy as the Song Dynasty. The so-called title is just to give you a salary according to the level, and this is a real householder who can collect taxes on your own as a mu of land.

Generally speaking, the so-called food households of county and county men are empty, because the court will not assign people to you, but all they are given to you is Yongye Field. When you reach the level of county dukes, you have already touched the threshold of county dukes and state dukes. This food household is not a joke. If you are truly 1,500 households included in your name, and if you are killed by this thousand five hundred people, the court will no longer enjoy any management rights. Whether you are beating or scolding, as long as you do not rebel, you will almost always follow the emperor.

Not to mention, if the households with food are 1,500,000, the land is generally 40,000 acres. In addition, there are usually mountains and forests. This is no wonder Cui Xu feels that the reward is a bit heavy. After all, when he arrives at the county magistrate, it is equivalent to an independent small kingdom. Although the population is 1,500 households, at most six or seven thousand people, he is afraid of setting a precedent in everything. Today, he is in a hurry and lets people eat 1,500 households. I don’t know how much reward will be tomorrow. If this continues, will the court still have land to allocate?

The reason why Cui Feng stayed is that Wu Zetian insisted on it, and on the other hand, Qin Shaoyou made great contributions, which are enough to convince people.

Qin Shaoyou was very happy and thanked him happily.

Wu Zetian was still very happy, but shook her sleeves and said, "Everyone please retreat, Qin Shaoyou stayed, I have something to say."

So the civil and military officials took their leave one after another, and Wu Zetian sat down and sighed, and said, "Qin Shaoyou, you sit down and talk. I think you have worked hard, so there is no need to kneel down. Come and bring him a Hu chair."

After a while, Qin Shaoyou was already sitting high on the Hu chair.

Wu Zetian couldn't sit still anymore, and excitedly paced back and forth in the hall, then said, "Qin Shaoyou, I see you want to say but stop, but I still have something to say?"

Qin Shaoyou was so amused that he couldn't help but said hesitantly: "Sage, I... can you say the truth?"

Wu Zetian said seriously: "You just say it's okay."

Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said, "The saint ordered me to be the commander of the Henan Tuanjie Camp. This is a good thing, but I... I really can't afford it. If I do it perfunctorily, but Your Majesty has such a heavy trust. If I don't train my soldiers, I will be uneasy. But if I want to train elite soldiers and generals, I... I really can't afford it. Two hundred people can't help but support it, but one thousand people, two thousand people..." Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but say, "This is really not a small number. I... am here to be an official, not to do good deeds and accumulate virtue...

So... I would rather take my troops into the imperial guards. This united camp is really unstoppable. Although there are food households, I want to maintain the needs of the army, and I cannot bear to impose levies. If I really want to train elite troops, I have to buy excellent war horses, weapons, armor, and these...the value is too high. In order to let the soldiers practice well, I almost open it for them to eat. In less than two hundred people, I ate seven or eight sheep, thousands of cakes, and nearly a hundred kilograms of rice a day. If the number of people is added ten times, how can this be born?"

Qin Shaoyou made a lot of money this time, but he was not a fool. He finally made a contribution and finally met Wu Zetian. In fact, he might not be willing to actually enshrined him into the imperial guards. After all, the freedom in the Unity Camp is greater. When he arrived in the camp, no one was in charge. I am the best in the world and I am happy. However, the child who always cried has milk to eat. If he doesn’t complain at this time, how can he eat happily in the future?

Therefore, he deliberately exaggerated his difficulties, and he still said that he wanted money.

Wu Zetian frowned and said, "It really doesn't work. I will order people to allocate a batch of military needs."

Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said, "Since I want to train good soldiers, I cannot use ordinary supplies. I must have a bow and a horn bow, and a knife must be made of steel. As for clothes and armor, I cannot be careless."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile: "You are not polite at all."

Qin Shaoyou spread his hands and said, "I just want to do better."

He captured Wu Zetian's thoughts. Obviously, Wu Zetian attached great importance to the Unity Camp this time, and of course he did not just want to train some ordinary soldiers. After all, with the light of this battle, when Zi really needed a military force that was not derived from Li Tang, and this Unity Camp was unique and now became famous in another battle, it was obviously in line with Wu Zetian's desire.

Wu Zetian was silent.

After a long time, she said slowly: "You are right. What I want is not a group of mediocre men. If you want to do it, you can do it better... I know your difficulties, but..." She suddenly stopped again, and then suddenly said: "But, if the court wants to provide for the Unity Camp, it will inevitably hurt the people's strength. You still have to raise this matter yourself, but I will never make it difficult for you. You can do anything that can be done cheaply, such as war horses. At worst, if you fall in love with a horse farm, I will give it to your pasture and let you stock it on your own. In this way, wouldn't it save some of the cost of forage?"

Qin Shaoyou suddenly understood that Wu Zetian was making himself self-reliant. It was impossible to have money, but he could give policies.

But policy is indeed a good thing. This thing is like an industrial park in later generations, and it can indeed bring many tangible benefits.

Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, his eyes turned and said, "If you want to be self-sufficient, you must not need a large number of auxiliary soldiers. Whether it is the stocking of war horses, the supply of some armor, or even the repair of weapons, the forging requires manpower. Can Your Majesty give those captives of the thief army to the Unity Camp? With these thousands of people, I am a little sure of that and I have to train a military army."

Qin Shaoyou took the word "Wu Family Army" very seriously. What is the Wu Family Army? This is the personal armed force of the emperor. This is much more reliable than the imperial guards and the flying cavalry. Moreover, Qin Shaoyou's implication brought the distance from Wu Zetian. The one he trained was the Wu Family Army, so Qin Shaoyou, the commander, was naturally a member of His Majesty's family.

Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "Is that so? Since you dare to protect me, I have nothing to refuse to give me. OK, I will think about it again."
