In fact, the problems Ma Biao and the others encountered were easily solved.

There is not even a little trouble.

First of all, the system allows it, so no matter whether an individual resists internally or not, more or less, he has not yet changed his mind about this kind of thing.

Furthermore, even if these returning scouts did not make any outstanding contributions to the Xiongnu, the imperial court would not be too stingy with their rewards.

After all, it was ten years of hard work. Compared with ten years in the military camp, ten years in the enemy camp was more difficult and more valuable.

'This not only tests a person's ability, but also extremely tests one's loyalty and willpower.'

"They have to be in darkness every day, with no light to see and no relatives for thousands of miles. It is a great achievement that they can persevere and come back alive."

These were Wang Buxu's original words, which originated after the cabinet ministers generally believed that the rewards Wang Buxu gave these scouts were too generous.

As soon as Wang Buxu said this, the entire cabinet fell into silence, and you could hear a needle drop.

Then, the matter was settled.

Why did Peng Yue say that the things they were worried about were not problems at all?

Or does it originate from the social system of this era.

stems from their origins.

Each of them comes from a poor family, and his wife also comes from a well-matched family.

When a man in his family rises, those women may not be able to enjoy the blessings with him.

It is still very common to abandon wives and children, but few people mention it. Even if someone does mention it, it will not affect the overall situation, and it is even less likely to be recorded in the annals of history.

Just like Ma Biao now, if Xiao He wants to marry his youngest daughter or granddaughter to him, what do you say?

Refusal may not offend Xiao He, but it will definitely cause Ma Biao to lose a strong supporter in the court.

Anyone with a bit of ambition will know how to choose in this matter.

What is so unethical? What does it mean in the face of real interests?

It's nothing more than a compensation to the wife, and it depends on the attitude of the bride's mother-in-law to decide whether to continue raising their son.

Then again, one is an upstart of the empire, and the other is an old aristocrat of the empire, a powerful alliance. Under this background, who dares to gossip?

Those who scolded the most fiercely may be sincere, but most people probably have the mentality of not being able to eat grapes.

Therefore, Peng Yue came over today for a purpose.

In other words, he just followed the emperor's order and came here in advance to teach these people.

Because once they return to their hometown, they worry about whether their families will accept them or not know how to explain to their families. These are all unrealistic.

The most realistic thing is that their families, or their wives, will worry about whether their husbands will abandon them after ten years of leaving home!

Yes, this era is so realistic. Although it is cruel and immoral, some things are like this.

"Let me tell you about your reward!" Peng Yue said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused.

It's a lie to say you don't care. In ten years, even if you are in the military camp, it is not difficult to become a camp commander or a hundred generals if you work hard, right?

Even if you have a noble title, if you are lucky, you can become a fifth-class doctor.

And once you reach the rank of fifth-class doctor, your future will be bright.

Even if you retire and return home in the future, you can still work as a supervisor or prosecutor in the county.

Therefore, when they heard Peng Yue mention this matter, everyone was expecting and nervous at the same time.

"The ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government think it is not appropriate, but His Majesty personally decided this matter, so that no one in the entire cabinet can find a reason to argue." Peng Yue continued: "For you, everyone, including those who died in the battle

For officers, titles start from Zuo Shuzhang. The specific title for each person needs to be determined based on merit, but what I can tell you now is that the lowest one is Zuo Shuzhang!"

"What???"

"Chief Zuo Shu?"

"That's the tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang..."

As soon as Peng Yue finished speaking, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

That's the tenth-level Zuo Shu Zhang. What's the concept?

With this title alone, even if they retire and go home now, they can directly become county-level supervisors or prosecutors.

Comparing it with the previous situation, when Shang Yang first entered the Qin State, he was granted the title Zuo Shu Chang.

And who is Shang Yang?

That was the man who laid a solid foundation for the Qin State to sweep away the rebellion and unify the world.

They just stayed undercover in the Xiongnu for ten years, and when they came back, they didn't ask for credit, and they just became the concubine?

To put it bluntly, even if the imperial court did not give them any credit, or simply made them Zuo Shuchang, they were very satisfied, and even the imperial court's minimum consumption far exceeded their psychological expectations.

Why?

Isn’t it because knighthood is so rare now?

The world is peaceful and there is no war in the country.

The external Huns have also fled, and there are no enemies around. The army that used to be the easiest to win military honors now has a hard time getting military honors.

Therefore, this title will become more and more precious in the future, and most of them think that, combined with the original title, it would be great to be awarded an eighth-class title.

"Grand Governor...this...isn't this too high..." Although Ma Biao knew that his title would not be lower, after hearing the news, he was still surprised and at a loss.

If you follow this treatment, what kind of reward will you get?

Fifteenth grade junior high school?

Or is it a sixteenth-grade Daliang made?

Or maybe the 17th-level concubine commander?

If it is any higher, it is really unimaginable.

So far, there is no one who can be named the eighteenth-level concubine.

Those who were knighted were all those who had conquered the world with the emperor when he started his career. Regardless of their seniority, each of them had the blood of tens of thousands of enemies on his body.

However, in the face of everyone's surprise, Peng Yue was not surprised.

I had already expected their performance.

And the emperor had given an answer long ago, an answer that made his blood boil.

"For the sake of the country, you abandoned your wife and children, abandoned your family and career, and braved the dragon's pond and tiger's den alone. You are willing to dedicate everything to the country without asking for anything in return. You don't talk about hardships and dangers. Only with such righteousness can you become a national scholar!"

"How can the country blindly let you contribute without asking for anything in return? If you get used to this, the country will soon be in danger. Qin's demise is right in front of you. I remember it vividly and dare not forget it."

"Your Majesty also said that if you treat me as a nobleman, I will repay you as a nobleman. Only when the king and his ministers are united can the country prosper and the people be healthy..."

The most awesome thing about this sentence is that it was the soldiers who made the contribution first and took the credit.

But after slipping through Wang Buxing's mouth, it becomes that you treat me like a nobleman of the country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of the country.

It has become that the monarch comes first and the individual comes last.

Of course, Wang Buxu basically did the same thing. He had never been indebted to his own people, especially his soldiers.

The military pay was never in arrears, the equipment was of the best quality, and military rations were constantly in supply, with various categories. Although it was not as high as that of later generations, it was still invincible compared to the same period.

Therefore, it is actually correct for Wang Buxian to say this, because it is the fact.
