Chapter 94 Yamen
The salt merchant is not only sick, but also very sick.
There was nothing to say when I returned to Qingyuan. I mentioned a jar of snow wine from Yangzhou. I walked day and rested at night. Chen Mu and others rode back to Qingyuan after three days of riding.
When I returned to the Thousand Houses in Qingcheng, the depressing atmosphere brought by the casualties caused by the war was gone, and everyone was happy - the imperial court's reward has come down.
There are more than 500 flag soldiers in a thousand households, and every household has rewards.
Bai Yuanjie paid five taels of silver for each household, and hundreds of people survived, and eight or nine taels of rice were taken, and the more could be thirty or forty taels. A battle allowed them to earn silver that they could not grow even if they were exhausted for three or five years.
Xinjiang Town is a big battle for the Qianhushou in Qingcheng. The imperial court gave little rewards. Only one head can repay nine cents of silver, but it cannot withstand the Qianhushou flag army in Qingcheng.
Chen Muqi alone won more than 400 head-level merits, and only more than 20 military households came back alive. After deducting the flag officials, they all received seven to twenty taels of silver rewards according to their merits.
The money was divided, but he didn't have the share of Chen Mu, but he didn't feel at all. On the contrary, he was very happy.
The imperial court did not have enough money, so the reward for those who were meritorious was to give them no money, and the money was not given in real money.
The Qianhu District of Xiangshan is in power, so Chen Mucai doesn't care about the reward of this hundred taels of silver.
Mr. Chen is not short of this little money!
"Have you seen it at your Qianhu House?" Zhang Yongshou drank a bowl of snow wine, his face full of envy, and he still complained, "It's a waste of resources. For the first time in his life, Zhang saw someone who could afford snow wine, and there was only pottery bowl in his house!"
"If Jingchen hadn't stopped me, I would have sent a few glass cups from Phoenix Street!"
Chen Mu smiled. The general flag yamen was just buried. The tables and chairs were moved from the old houses in the hundred-household office. There was no decoration. There was nothing to say. He smiled and touched the bowl with Zhang Yongshou and said, "Okay, I know that Zhang Qianhu's family is rich. The commander of the ancestors can compare with me who have never seen the world?"
"Tell me! I heard Bai Qi say that the governor asked you to be a Qianhu in Xiangshan. Jingchen was so happy that he invited me to drink for three days. The Manliao Camp was on holiday!" Zhang Yongshou laughed, "How about Qianhu in Xiangshan?"
Bai Yuanjie is not as happy and angry as Zhang Yongshou, but the joy on his firm face and mouth cannot be hidden, and he said, "No one in the entire Guangzhou Prefecture is as fast as you are promoted. Even in Guangdong, only Chen Lin can compete with you!"
Chen Lin was the garrison in Guangdong, but Chen Mu knew that he was not because he was the garrison in Guangdong now, but because he was the commander of the Luliang naval battle in the Wanli aid Korea decades later, defeating Shimazu Yoshihiro and winning the battle.
It was this battle that caused Deng Zilong, who was 70 years old at the time, to die for his country.
"I haven't seen Chen Shoujie in Guangzhou, and Qianhu knows him?"
Chen Mu remembers that the first time he heard Chen Lin was Bai Yuanjie mentioned it.
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 naval troops under him. I will write him a letter. If you encounter any problems, you can go find him. His man is anxious and righteous, and he will definitely help you if you have any problems."
Seeing Chen Mu's curious gaze, Bai Yuanjie smiled and said, "He was the commander at the beginning, and there were many contacts at that time."
"Chen Chaojue is a wild path, and his ancestors were neither guards nor civil servants. After studying for a few years, they only wanted to make great contributions and do great things. When they were young, they made many friends in Wengyuan and were heroic."
"I'm two or three years older than you. I'm twenty-five years old this year. He caught up with the great fortune of the 18th year. Governor Zhang Nie wanted to fight Japanese pirates, but no one was available to him. He issued a fifth-rank reward. Chen Chaojue led the villagers to recruit, made meritorious service in succession, and after several battles, he became the commander-in-chief."
Bai Yuanjie smiled and said, "It's similar to you, I've been a regular household in several battles!"
"Thousand Houses give up the first merits of Beishan to low-ranking positions, otherwise Thousand Houses can go further."
"The commander is old, and it's boring to be a commander and magistrate. I thought that the first merit would be useful for you, but I didn't expect that you still have two first merits and one extraordinary merit." Bai Yuanjie shook her head, and then said casually: "Okay, you are a thousand households now. Don't be humble in your position and have a short position. If you don't dislike me, just call me my brother. It sounds pleasant."
Chen Mu immediately responded and toasted another bowl of wine. Zhang Yongshou had been waiting aside for a long time and squatted on the chair without any image and clapped his hands.
Slap!
"Okay, what are you guys here? My old brothers don't dare to meet you here. I don't say a word and don't treat me as a human being, right?" Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and shouted, "Hurry up, this is all divided, the family property should be divided, the family property should be divided, the people should be needed, and we have to talk about the main business after all!"
"I haven't seen you two so sticky on the battlefield!"
A good atmosphere of brotherly love was ruined by Mr. Zhang.
"Okay, Erlang, Bai will talk first." Bai Yuanjie raised her face and knocked on the table for a moment, and asked, "Xiangshan ruled the wild animals. You are just using people. If Bai only allows you to take one away, who will you take?"
one?
"Haru."
Chen Mu did not hesitate to think, "I will take Hachiro away."
"Haru?"
Bai Yuanjie asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Five small flags, all four of them have the ability to take on the hundreds of households. Staying under their elder brothers and being able to do the responsibilities of the hundreds of households is different. Hachiro is not as good as Tingda, his intelligence is not as good as Ishiki, his talent is not as good as paying Yuan, and his sergeant is not as good as Qimai."
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Without Chen, he will not live for a few days."
In fact, it is not difficult to accept some things after understanding them. Several subordinates move side by side and there will always be times when they are separated. Moreover, they are not missing in the future. They will always be Mr. Chen's subordinates. As long as they have a good future, it is easy to make sense.
But Bai Yuanjie raised her head and smiled twice, waved her hand, "Your crooked dates can't be hundreds of households here in Bai. Let them go with you and let them go to your place to be hundreds of households."
"Um?"
"Okay, Jingchen is just teasing you. We have already discussed it. When your letter was not returned, Jingchen also said whether you would be transferred to the camp and the governor to serve as a guard. I was afraid that you would have no money in your hands, so I said that you would leave 300 acres of private land for you for two years."
Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and laughed and said, "You are all in your business now. The fields in Qingcheng will be divided by Jingchen. You can go to Xiangshan by yourself, haha!"
"Five small flags, Bai has released people, but you have to refer to a few military households who can farm. The military field will not be left for you. The harvest in two seasons is nearly a thousand stones. I really don't know how you plant it. You have to keep half of the grain in a hundred households. If you want to pull the rest, you can take it away. Or you can exchange Yongshou for 70% of the market price for silver to save fortune."
Bai Yuanjie is a confident person. Everything in the Qianhu House in Qingcheng seemed to have been decided, and there was no chance for Chen Mu to interrupt, and everything was arranged.
"You have an idea, but don't say it. Go to Xiangshan, ask for iron and copper, and send someone to send a message. We have everything in Qingyuan. You have silver and Yongshou will deliver it to you." Bai Yuanjie said as she patted the table. The elder brother's style came out and decided directly, picked up the wine bowl and said, "I won't say anything else. You are from Qingyuanwei. Go home to see if you have nothing to do."
