The salt merchant was not only sick, but also very sick.

There was nothing to say about returning to Qingyuan, so I mentioned a jar of snow wine from Yangzhou, and rested day and night, Chen Mu and others rode back to Qingyuan for three days.

When I returned to the Thousand Households in Qingcheng, the oppressive atmosphere brought by the war casualties was long gone, and everyone was jubilant - the court's reward had come down.

There are more than 500 banner troops in thousands of households, and every household has a reward.

The reward for the death in the battle was given five taels of silver by Bai Yuanjie per household, and one hundred and ten people survived, the few took eight or nine taels, and the more could have thirty or forty taels, and a battle allowed them to earn silver that they could not grow even if they were tired for three or five years.

Xinjiang Town is a big war for the Qingcheng Thousand Households, the imperial court does not give much reward, and a head can only be repaid to nine coins of silver, but it can't stand the first level of the Qingcheng Thousand Households Banner Army.

Chen Muqi alone won more than 400 first-class merits, and the military households who came back alive were only more than 20.

The silver was divided, but it was not Chen Mu's share, but he didn't feel heartwarming at all, on the contrary, he was very happy.

The court does not have enough silver, and the reward for these meritorious ministers is to give them no silver, and no silver to give.

The Xiangshan Thousand Households are in power, and Chen Mucai doesn't care about the reward of one hundred and ten taels of silver.

Chen Ye is not short of this bit of silver!

"Have you seen it in a thousand households?" Zhang Yongshou drank a bowl of snow wine, his face was full of envy, and he didn't forget to complain, "Violent things, Zhang has seen people who can afford snow wine for the first time in his life, and there are only pottery bowls in the house!" ”

"If Jingchen hadn't stopped me, I would have had to send a few glass cups from Phoenix Street!"

Chen Mu smiled, this general banner yamen is buried, the tables and chairs are still moved from the leaky old houses in the past hundred households, and there are no furnishings, 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 ancestors are in command, can you compare with me, who has never seen the world?" ”

"Tell me about it! Hearing Bai Qi say that the governor asked you to be a thousand households in Xiangshan, Jingchen happily invited me to drink wine for three days in a row, and the barbarian camp was on holiday! Zhang Yongshou laughed, "How about Xiangshan Qianhu?" ”

Bai Yuanjie was not as happy and angry as Zhang Yongshou, but the corners of his mouth on his resolute face couldn't hide the joy, and said: "In the entire Guangzhou Mansion, no one is promoted as fast as you, even in the whole of Guangdong, only Chen Lan can compare with you!" ”

Chen Lan was a garrison in Guangdong, but Chen Mu knew that he was not because he was now a garrison in Guangdong, but because he was the commander of the Battle of Luliang in the battle of Wanli to aid Korea decades later, defeating Shimazu Yoshihiro and winning the battle.

It was also this battle that made Deng Zilong, who was 70 years old at the time, martyred.

"I didn't see Chen Shoubei in Guangzhou, and thousands of households know him?"

Chen Mu remembered that the first time he heard Chen Lan was mentioned by Bai Yuanjie.

Bai Yuanjie bowed his head and said: "If you see him, you might as well make a friend, you will inevitably deal with the sailor in Xiangshan, Chen Chaojue has two naval commanders, I will write a letter to him when I turn around, you can go to find him, he is anxious and righteous, and he will definitely help you if you have something." ”

Seeing Chen Mu's curious gaze, Bai Yuanjie said with a smile: "What he did at the beginning was to command the servants, and there were many contacts at that time. ”

"Chen Chaojue is a wild road, his ancestor is neither a guard official nor a civil official, he has studied for a few years, he wants to make great contributions and do great things, he made a lot of friends in Weng Yuan when he was a teenager, and he has a heroic spirit."

"It's two or three years older than you, it's twenty-five this year, he caught up with the big luck in the eighteenth year, the governor Zhang Zhen wanted to fight the Japanese invaders, and no one was available for his subordinates.

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

"Qianhu is to give the first credit of Beishan to the humble position, otherwise Qianhu can go further."

"The commander is old, and it's not interesting for Bai to be a commander, I thought that the first merit would be useful to you, but I thought that you still have two first merits and one miraculous feat." Bai Yuanjie shook his head, and then said casually: "Okay, you are also a thousand households now, don't be lowly and short, just call me brother if you don't dislike it, listen to it." ”

Chen Mu immediately responded, and a bowl of wine was toasted, Zhang Yongshou was impatient to wait on the side, and squatted on the chair without any image and clapped his hands.

Smack!

"Okay, what are you two old brothers seeing here, my old Zhang, a thousand households, hasn't dared to see you two outside, don't say anything and don't treat me as a person, right?" Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and shouted, "Hurry up, this is all separated, the family property should be divided, the important person should be divided, we have to talk about business after the matter!" ”

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

has a good atmosphere of brotherly love, which was disturbed by Zhang Ye.

"That's okay, Erlang, Bai will say it first." Bai Yuanjie straightened his face, knocked on the table for a moment, and asked: "Xiangshan Zhixia Fanyi, you are the time to employ people, five flag officials, if Bai Mou only allows you to take one away, who will you bring?" ”

One?

"Hachiro."

Chen Mu didn't think about it, "I'll take Hachiro away." ”

"Hachiro?"

Bai Yuanjie was puzzled: "Why?" ”

"Five small flags, all four of them have the talent to take on the role of a hundred households, and if they stay under their brother's subordinates, they can also do a good job of the responsibility of a hundred households, Hachiro is different. He is not as strong as Tingda, not as wise as Shiqi, not enough to pay Yuan, and not as good as Qimai for bullet suppression. ”

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Without Chen, he won't live for a few days." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to accept some things after figuring them out, several subordinates move forward side by side, there is always a time to separate, not to mention that they will not disappear in the future, they will always be Chen Ye's subordinates, as long as they have a good future, this matter is easy to understand.

How do you know that Bai Yuanjie raised her head and laughed twice, waved her hand and said, "Your crooked melons and cracked dates are not a hundred households in Bai's place, so let's go with you, let them go to your place as a hundred households." ”

"Huh?"

"Okay, Jingchen, he is just teasing you, we have already discussed, when your letter was not reported, Jingchen also said that you were going to be transferred to the battalion to be a garrison by the governor, I was afraid that you would have no money in your hands, and said that I would keep 300 acres of private land for you for two years."

Zhang Yongshou clapped his hands and laughed: "It's none of your business now, the fields of Qingcheng, I will share them with Jingchen, and you can go to Xiangshan by yourself, haha!" ”

"Five small flags, Bai released people, but you have to refer to a few military households who can farm. The military field will not be left for you, and the harvest of the two seasons is nearly 1,000 stones, I really don't know how you planted it. Of the 4,000 stone grain of 100 households, you have to keep half of it, and you have to pull the rest away, or let Yongshou exchange it for silver at 70% of the market price, and save the luck. ”

Bai Yuanjie is a person who has a lot of bamboo in his chest, everything in the Qingcheng Thousand Households seems to have been planned, there is no chance for Chen Mu to intervene, everything is arranged.

"You're an idea, just don't say it. Go to Xiangshan, ask for iron and copper, send someone to pass the message, we have everything in Qingyuan, you have silver, and Yongshou will send it to you. Bai Yuanjie patted the table as she spoke, and Big Brother's pie came out, directly settled the matter, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Don't say anything else, you are Qingyuanwei went out, it's okay to go home and see." ”

"You broken general banner yamen, my brother will keep it for you!"
