    "What about the soldiers?" Zhou Ping couldn't help but widen his eyes.  "That group of red guys?" Chang Zongtian said with a smile: "We haven't seen any battles yet. Why do we need to pay for our work? At most, each person will be given an extra three months of salary. If you also give some money for drinks, you will be a considerate boss. Anyway, it's just a full salary."  "Thousands of people can't spend a lot of money." Zhou Ping frowned. Chang Zongtian's approach made him feel a little weird. Before going into battle, he would be paid for each arrow, but now he has made a fortune like this.  Stingy.  He thought for a while and said: "Brother Chang, the sage said that we are not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. Even if you and I take 10% of this much money, future generations will not be able to enjoy it all. What is the use of it? In my opinion,  , each soldier has ten pieces of green silk and thirty guan of money, and they can live a good life." "That's fine!" Chang Zongtian couldn't object, after all.  Zhou Ping is the general, and as Zhou Ping said, this investment of foreign wealth is really too great. At this time, they only had less than a thousand men to die, and the cost was only 10,000 bolts of silk and 30,000 guan. Compared with  The property seized was less than one-tenth: "But it's not good for you to go out alone. Just let everyone share it." At this point, he said to the messenger on the side: "Just pass it on, and let everyone share it."  Rejoice, gentlemen!" "Here!" A moment later, a burst of cheers came from the town. This was the cheers of the soldiers after learning about the reward.  The captured Manichaeans looked at these ecstatic enemies blankly, and then lowered their heads to carry heavy burdens.  Suzhou, the Xuanfu Division of Jianghuai, Jingzhe and Zhejiang provinces has a solemn scene. Dozens of civilian and military generals wearing official robes of various colors are busy beside the wooden map. They are commanding the 150,000 troops from the southeast to move south.  Suppress the Fang La rebellion.  Tong Guan himself, who is the four-way propaganda envoy, is leaning on a chair above him with his eyes closed and meditating. Although he has always been famous for his iron-like bones and strong physique, in any case, he is nearly sixty years old.  As a person, my energy is definitely not as strong as when I was a teenager. After working hard all morning, I can't help but feel a little tired at this time.  "Enxiang, Enxiang!" A voice woke Tong Guan up, and he opened his eyes with some confusion.  He saw Wang Zhen standing in front of him.  Holding a document in his hand, his face couldn't hide the joy.  "Zhengchen, what's the matter?" Tong Guan moved his body, trying to sit up straight.  For a capable and loyal confidant like Wang Zhen.  He still takes it very seriously.  He does not regard him as a dog or horse like civil servants do, which is why he is so popular in the army.  "The Mani thieves were killing each other at the foot of Xiuzhou City, and Zhou Ping took advantage of the situation to attack. He defeated the thieves and captured no less than 30,000 people. They were accumulated in Jiazhang Mountain. Now he has pursued them to Xiashi Town and sent an envoy back to ask Enxiang for instructions on what to do."  Having said this, Wang Zhen took out a piece of tissue paper from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said with a smile: "This is brought by the envoy sent by the Zhou prisoner. He said it was obtained from the thieves and presented it to the Prime Minister as a sign of kindness.  "Cun Xin." "Oh?" Tong Guan took the tissue paper and glanced at it. He saw that the first line was written on the white jade Ruyi pair, and there were densely written on them. At a glance, there were four or five.  Ten lines.  Tong Guan's face couldn't help but move slightly, he put the gift list into his sleeve calmly, and said with a smile: "Zhou Ping is a lucky general, and he is allowed to make such great achievements again!" "What Enxiang said is true, but I still believe it.  The last general saw that the governor of Zhou also relied on the great blessings of the favored prime minister and the emperor to defeat the Mani thieves. It is also the blessing of the favored prime minister and the emperor! " "That's right, that's right!" Tong Guan heard this!  , stood up from the chair, laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that Zhou Ping was appointed by you, Zhengchen, because you know how to recognize people!" "I'm sorry, Zhengchen just did what he should do.  !" Wang Zhen bowed calmly and said: "The prisoner Zhou said in the letter that most of the prisoners in Fang La's army were good people who were held hostage, and requested that the prisoners be released back to their hometowns, so that they could kill less people and avoid hurting the emperor's love for the people;  Secondly, it can also dissipate the thieves' military morale. ""That's fine, let's target him!" Tong Guan was in a happy mood and agreed to Zhou Ping's request nonchalantly. He said with a smile: "You let Zhou Ping stick to Xiashi Town until he arrives.  We'll make plans after the army arrives!" "Here!" Wang Chen returned to the outer room and ordered Zhou Ping's envoy Luo Sheer to be summoned. He handed the written letter to him and said, "When you get back, tell your general what he has done.  All the things I asked Enxiang to do have been agreed to, let him do it." At this point, he took out a gift list from his arms and handed it over, saying: "I have also forwarded the gift list he asked me to forward to Enxiang.  Now, take these back with me!" Luo Sheer was stunned when he saw this and didn't dare to reach out to take it. He quickly bowed and apologized: "Commander, the general came here under the military order of my family.  If you have done something wrong, please forgive me. Don't do it. " "That's not the case!" Wang Xun said with a smile, "It's not that this family thinks this is too rude. I also know that there are certain etiquettes in the army.  It's essential, but these belongings are also your home.The master shot him down with a knife and a gun. I am not a lonely person, but I still won¡¯t accept this kind of money.  " At this point, Wang Zhen's expression became solemn: "Go back and tell your general that now is the time for the court to employ people. Talents like him are good at what they do, so don't worry about being rich.  do you understand?  "    "yes!  "Xiaoshi Town. "So, doesn't Mr. Wang really think that I gave too little?  " " Exactly!  Luo Sheer carefully replied: "I have repeatedly verified that Mr. Wang will not accept it."  " Having said this, Luo Sheer whispered: "If the general doesn't believe it, why don't I go there again!  " "No need!  "Zhou Ping waved his hand. He was quite conflicted at this time. As a time traveler who was already familiar with this era, he knew very well that gifts of property between colleagues in the officialdom at that time were not considered bribes at all, but a kind of bribe.  It was a very ordinary favor. Although the amount given by Zhou Ping was a bit large, roughly equivalent to four or five years' salary of a senior military attach¨¦ like Wang Zhen, it was not too excessive compared to the market situation in the army at that time.  A huge windfall cannot be concealed. Although it has been natural for generals to secretly share the spoils of war since ancient times, it is not like Zhou Ping, an outsider with no backing, is dragged out and beaten with dozens of military sticks on a random charge. He has to grow old first.  He had to pay the protection fee honestly. Besides, although the precious utensils, jewelry and jades he gave to Tong Guan and Wang Zhen were very precious, they were not easy to get rid of. Zhou Ping didn't want to become a rich man, so he might as well give them away.  Build a good relationship with your boss and keep the money, silk, gold and silver ingots. ¡°This Wang Zhen is really a good official!  "Looking at Luo Sheer's leaving figure, Zhou Ping sighed. Although he never showed it, Zhou Ping still had a grudge in his heart about leaving himself in Xiuzhou as a bait to attract Fang Lajun. There is no doubt that this  Wang Zhen, who was the commander-in-chief of the front line, was at least informed, but the other party's conduct and expectations for him at this time made Zhou Ping feel a sense of admiration and affection. This contradictory mood made Zhou Ping feel troubled. "Hey,  When the time comes, heaven and earth all work together to transport the heroes who are not at ease.  It¡¯s easy to be a hero who lives in this world, but it¡¯s hard to be a hero who saves the country!  After all, the Northern Song Dynasty is finally over, and fortune is not on your side!  "Zhou Ping sighed in a low voice. "Imprisonment!  "A voice woke Zhou Ping up from his worries. He raised his head and saw Li Bao saluting him with his hands crossed, pointing to the stone bench beside him and saying: "Brothers, there are no outsiders, please sit down and talk!  " Li Bao responded, but just sat down next to him. Zhou Ping's face became solemn: "A Bao, I have an important matter that needs to be handled by caring people. After thinking about it, I still have to trouble you.  " "Please tell me about the custody. As long as I can do my best, I will obey my orders!"  " Zhou Ping nodded: "You also know that we made a lot of money in Xiashi Town this time. Calculating that we and the two Xue brothers have almost more than one million gold, I will transfer the gold and silver ingots that are easy to transport with  The copper coins are loaded together, which amounts to about 800,000 coins. They are loaded on two ships and are planned to be transported back to Jeju. Are you willing to take a trip?  " Li Bao was stunned for a moment, and after a while he asked hesitantly: "The prison, Fang La hasn't been settled yet, so why be so anxious? These belongings can't fly.  " "Hey, money and silk make people look good!  "Zhou Ping sighed: "We have no backing, but we got this fortune all of a sudden. If someone in the Xuanfu Department knows about it and gets jealous and asks for it, do you think I should give it or not?  "    "this?  Li Bao was stunned after hearing this, and replied: "But even if I imprison you and send you back, how can I still withhold it if the superior officer speaks?"  " "There are still some things I can't get rid of here, so I'll just use them to deal with them.  "Zhou Ping saw the disapproval look on Li Bao's face, knowing that he thought he was stingy, so he smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I feel sorry for these properties, it's just that people are dissatisfied. There are so many superiors in the Xuanfu Division, even if I take all of them  When we go out, some people take more and some take less.  Those who take less will definitely hold a grudge, but those who take too much may not speak for me. Instead of using the money to fill those bottomless dog holes, it is better to transport it away first to save worry!  " Li Bao had worked as an errand in the front department of the palace, and he knew what Zhou Ping said was right. Just like Tong Guan, a clerk in the Xuanfu Department might not be able to help him or her with anything, but he had to give him some eye drops and some food.  It¡¯s really easy to cause trouble. A martial artist like Zhou Ping who has no backing really can¡¯t afford to offend or bribe something like this. ¡°What if someone really creates trouble?  " "We have just made a contribution, so we don't have to worry about it in a short time!"  Anyway, if things don¡¯t look right, I will quit my job. With this money, I can still be a rich man for the rest of my life!  "Speaking of this, Zhou Ping smiled and patted Li Bao on the shoulder: "It seems that the two brothers of the Xue family and I will fall on you for the rest of our lives, but QianDon't let the heroes on the road be robbed!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
