The next morning, Zhang Hong, the chief manager, and Zhang Chengye, the superintendent, walked into the meeting hall of the Soldiers and Horses Embassy of Daxie City one after the other. Li Jing is now temporarily working on Da Xie Island, and the two of them came in with a tired face and bloodshot eyes. Judging by the way they looked, it should have been last night that they stayed up all night about how to divide the dirty. Li Jing appropriately expressed his concern for the two of them, and personally poured a cup of hot tea for the two.

The original position of the seal in the council hall was a soft couch, silk-wrapped velvet, and it was very comfortable to sit on. However, as soon as Li Jing came, he immediately removed the soft couch and replaced it with an iron chair. Of course, the iron chair can't be compared with the soft couch with velvet cushions, but Li Jing is here to remind himself from time to time that Da Xie Yan's position is not easy to sit in, and he must always be vigilant, otherwise Feng Zhang will be a lesson from the past.

Li Jing's guards stood at the door of the council hall and under the iron seats, wearing silver cloaks and silver helmets. Originally, Li Jing had a personal army of 100 people, but later Li Jing changed the family to a personal soldier in order to prevent the somewhat deformed existence of Jiading from expanding in his army, and all of them were withdrawn and incorporated into various battalions. Since then, the family no longer exists in the army of Shamen Town, although the officers have pro-soldiers in the army, but the pro-soldiers do not go with the generals, but are established in a fixed battalion, and the generals and captains are transferred, and the pro-soldiers will not follow, but will be the pro-soldiers of the new generals. In this way, the officers no longer have private soldiers, and all the soldiers are regular.

However, at present, the strength of Shamen Town is expanding, especially after the occupation of Daxie, many officers agree. Li Jing's security has a bearing on the whole army. Therefore, it is proposed to re-assign the elite to Li Jing to form a family team. However, Li Jing refused without hesitation. He knew it. If he opens the door of this family, the other generals in the future will definitely reorganize their private soldiers. This result is what Li Jing wants to avoid. The generals had private soldiers, which was the beginning of the generals' self-respect and even separation. At present, there will be no harm in the short term, but when the momentum grows stronger in the future, it will be a great harm.

Li Jing refused to reorganize the family, but the generals were not willing to compromise on it. After the last discussion, it was discussed for a long time. The generals unanimously decided not to form a family, but to build a new guard battalion. After Li Jing objected again, he changed the guard battalion into a guard capital.

However, although the newly selected elite guards are only a capital formation, it is not an ordinary scale of 200 people and a capital, but a capital of 500 people, divided into five teams, each team of 100 people. The new guards were all dressed in iron armor painted with silver paint, with the exception of silver helmets and silver armor, and horizontal knives with silver scabbards, silver round shields, and longbows. Each was also equipped with a composite gun shaft and an eight-foot silver spear composed of three edged spikes. It was completely a small horse lance, and a silver spear was equivalent to the price of ten ordinary spears, and each standard silver spear cost thirty yuan.

Silver armor, silver helmet, silver helmet and cloak, plus silver sword, silver shield, silver spear, this newly built 500 guards are all majestic, and the unique number is silver spear, called silver spear guards. And it is also uniformly equipped with war horses, a full 500 war horses, all tall Liaodong white war horses, pure white without miscellaneous hair.

Under the iron seat, the captain of the silver spear guard on duty in front of Li Jing today is Li Asan, a former Liaodong hunter, Qingnipu prisoner of war, and a slave in Shamen Town, now wearing silver armor and a silver cloak on his shoulders, standing under Li Jing's iron seat, his waist is straight, his chest is straight, his chest is upright, he is holding a silver knife on his waist in one hand, and an eight-foot silver gun in the other, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a silver-armored general.

Early in the morning, in addition to Zhang Chengye supervising the army and Zhang Hongda, more than a dozen civilian staff members such as Du Zhongwu, Cui Zhiyuan, and Li Chun gathered together. All the civilian staff members are in good spirits today, and Li Jing recently asked Li Hui'er's workshop to produce a new batch of civilian officials' official robes. The silk round-necked official robe, coupled with the hard horns to spread the wings, the look is flying.

Each staff member also wore a new wolf talisman around his waist, which Li Jingxin asked the craftsman to make. There are seven types of wolf charms, gray wolf, green wolf, brown wolf, black wolf, purple wolf, silver wolf, and golden wolf. This is modeled after the fish talisman of the imperial court, but the fish talisman of the imperial court is only qualified to wear more than five grades, and there are only two kinds of silverfish and goldfish. Li Jing imitated the fish talisman and made the wolf talisman, the purpose of which was also to form his own unique upper and lower order in the interior of Shamen Town.

Li Jing himself wore the golden wolf talisman, the commanders of several battalions such as Lin Wei, Wang Chong, Megan, and Yellowbeard were all silver wolf talismans, and Liu Shouqian and other deputy ten generals were all purple wolf talismans. However, Zhang Hong, Du Zhongwu, Li Chun and others are also silver wolf talismans, and even the prison army Zhang Chengye was given a silver wolf talisman by Li Jing.

As soon as these wolf talismans were fired, they attracted the attention of many people. The reason is very simple, Zhang Hong's official character is several levels different from Lin Wei and others, but now he also wears silver talismans, and many of the eight or ninth rank staff below are also wearing purple wolf talismans and black wolf talismans. This fact already tells everyone that Li Jing attaches great importance to the status of literati, and even puts the status of literati above military generals.

At present, these staff members who are wearing silver, purple, or black wolf talismans are all exhaling and raising their eyebrows. On weekdays, most of the generals don't value them much, whether it is in the town general's mansion or in the forts below, the status of the civilians is not very high. And now, Li Jing is publicly signaling to elevate their status.

Li Jing sat on a high iron chair and looked down on everyone, and was very happy to see the excited appearance of these civil servants. If Shamen Town wants to grow and succeed, it can't just rely on military generals. Civil and military affairs are like legs, which leg is short, it is just a disability, and it is unstable to walk, how to talk about running and jumping. After the founding of the Song Taizu, who had experienced five generations of turmoil, he formulated many regulations to restrict the martial arts, and even opened a precedent of worshipping literature and suppressing martial arts. In the Ming Dynasty, the second- and third-grade generals even had to kowtow to the sixth- and seventh-grade officials, and a fifth-grade civil official could even kill the second-rank military generals.

He didn't want his internal to become the dictatorship of the military generals at this time in the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to be like Song Ming. No matter which side it is too biased towards. None of them are good results. At present, there is a bad trend in Shamen Town. Due to the victory of several major wars, the status of military generals has been gradually improved, while civilian workers are often ignored because they usually do some inconspicuous work. This is a bad signal, if it continues, it will inevitably be no longer civil in the eyes of the generals.

This time, Li Jing borrowed the wolf talisman to deliberately elevate the status of the civilians, that is, to show his attitude to the generals.

"Zhang Jianjun, Zhang Bingcao." Li Jing's voice resounded through the hall. Attract everyone's attention. "It seems that the two of you didn't sleep all night last night, and you don't know what I entrusted to you, but you can come up with a plan?"

Zhang Chengye cleared his throat and said in a slightly shrill voice unique to the eunuch: "Back in the ya, we worked hard with Zhang Bingcao all night last night, racking our brains, and it was only at dawn that we finally came up with a preliminary distribution plan. Yanai, do you really want to distribute these loot to everyone? ”

"Of course!" Li Jing said: "The rebellion of Feng Zhang was suppressed, and it was also thanks to the protection of His Majesty and the support of the marshal and the adults. First of all, you should tell me the plan of distribution that you have prepared. Let's talk about it. ”

Zhang Hong had a bitter face, as if he was going to send his child to the wolf's den to feed the wolf. "General. The plan we drew up was to first send 100,000 yuan worth of five grains and jade liquor tribute wine, perfume, ice grain, silk and other tributes to His Majesty the Emperor, plus 100,000 stone tribute salt worth 200,000 yuan, 100,000 copper coins, and 200,000 silk horses! ”

Li Jing nodded, these offerings were worth more than 500,000 guan, although he knew that the cost of the tribute wine and other things that claimed to be 100,000 guan was only more than 10,000 guan, and the cost of 200,000 guan of tribute salt was only a few thousand guan. What really hit the ground is the 100,000 yuan and 200,000 horses of silk. Originally, Zhang Chengye wanted to donate grain, but Zhang Chengzong refused on the pretext that it was difficult to transport food.

But even if it is this, Li Jing is still a little reluctant, there is a shortage of money now, and he has to donate 100,000 yuan at once, which is too much.

"I heard that the Son of Heaven likes to play polo and fights. In this way, 100,000 copper coins are too heavy, and it is very troublesome to transport them to Chang'an. I think it would be better to exchange 100,000 yuan and 200,000 pieces of silk for 100 horses, 20 falcons, 100 pairs of fighting cocks and fighting geese, plus 10,000 silks, 100 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and 10 statues of the Great Buddha. How is it? ”

Zhang Chengye calculated in his heart, there was a shortage of 100,000 yuan and 200,000 pieces of silk, although it was less. But these things added by Li Jing later were more liked by the Son of Heaven, and he immediately smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just follow the Yanei." Don't worry, this time we will personally escort these things into Beijing, and we will definitely ask our father to truthfully report the courage and loyalty in front of the Son of Heaven. A dedication worth 500,000 yuan, this is a rare loyalty, and we will not disappoint the yamani. ”

Li Jing was waiting for this sentence in his heart, the brother of the great eunuch Tian Lingjin and several senior generals of the forbidden army, and later played polo in front of Xizong in order to win the Jiedu envoy and several important positions. He very much hoped that by giving such a large gift, the young and ignorant emperor would be happy for a while, and he would personally seal himself with an official and a half-knight. Even if the official position is not high, if it is personally sealed by the emperor, it will be of great help to him.

gave the emperor a gift worth 500,000 yuan, and of course the others will not be less. Li Jing is also bleeding heavily this time, in order not to make others jealous of him for occupying the territory of Da Xie Yan, he is out of his way.

Under the emperor, the person who sent the most money was Song Wei, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival. The result of Zhang Hong and the others was to give Song Wei 100 war horses, 1,000 spears and horizontal knives, 300 pairs of iron armor, 500 pairs of leather armor, 500 bows, 300 crossbows, and 100,000 arrows. And he added 20,000 stone of grain, 10,000 stone of salt, 100,000 yuan of money, and 200,000 horses of silk. Li Jing can be said to have really made a bloody investment for Song Wei. Song Wei is the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, and at the moment, Li Jing's biggest backer, and even whether Li Jing can get the land of Da Xie Li in the future, it all depends on his meaning. This gift was even heavier than the one the emperor received.

Among them, Yu Xuan in Guanzhong and Yu Cong, the brother of Yu Xuan in Chang'an City, also sent 50,000 yuan each. Teacher Cui Yunqing and Li Jing directly sent 100,000 yuan, Zhao Wang Li Xiao, and Dengzhou Assassin Shi Song Wen, each with 50,000 yuan. In addition, Dengzhou Prison City Envoy, Longshan Battalion, Chishan Town, Mudong Guard, Dengzhou Unity Battalion, several camp heads, Li Jing also sent 10,000 yuan each.

In addition, there are many civil and military official positions in Ziqing Town and Dengzhou, and Li Jing also gave gifts one by one.

This was a large-scale distribution of stolen goods, and Li Jing directly took out about 30% of all the seized proceeds this time, as much as more than 1 million yuan of money, grain, and property. No matter how it is, although Shamen Town has won several battles, it has already been red by many people. This time, he won Da Xie Yan, if he didn't express it again, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Li Jing was even going to take out half of the spoils, but Zhang Hong, the big housekeeper, was really reluctant. He even said that if Li Jing really wanted the loser to divide half of it, then he would jump into the sea.

"By the way, Qingnipu also has to prepare a thick thank you gift here, how did you arrange it?" Li Jing asked, everyone gave it, Li Jing couldn't have forgotten Li Lingfu who came to help.

"Three thousand degraded slaves, another hundred cans of divine fire, plus thirty large and small warships. The rest also prepared 20,000 stone of grain, 1,000 pairs of knives and guns, and 100,000 arrows. Zhang Hong said with a heartache on his face: "According to the general's orders, the thank you gift is as generous as possible." ”

"Well, that's good." Compared with those military camps in Dengzhou, the current Qingnipu is the only ally that Li Jing can come to his aid immediately when something happens. Li Jing must thank them.

Zhang Chengye saw that in addition to the emperor and Prime Minister Yu Cong in all the spoils lists, only Qingnipu was not from Song Wei and Cui Yunqing's side, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't Yanai give some to the leaders of the Pinglu Army such as Wang Jingwu of Qingzhou at all?" ”

Li Jing smiled, these military leaders of the Pinglu Army had nothing to do with him, besides, since he was Song Wei's person, then he could no longer want to please Wang Jingwu. It is often best to please both sides at all. Li Jing can't even lose Song Wei's support now, anyway, if he ignores Wang Jingwu, the result won't change much.

Hearing Li Jing's answer, Zhang Chengye just smiled, "But I think there are still some people missing out in the ya." ”

"Who?"

"The first one is naturally the great eunuch Tian Lingjin, who is now a lieutenant of the Shence Army, and also serves as an envoy to the Privy Council, and controls the government, and is called his father by the emperor. Yanai offered to the emperor but did not give him a gift, but he was afraid that it would backfire. We thought that we had to prepare a big gift, at least not less than 100,000 yuan for him. In addition, the ministers in the court in Chang'an City also have to give a gift to each person, that is, the heads and brains of the three provinces and six departments of Chang'an City, they also have to prepare a gift, so it is appropriate. ”

Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little painful now, but he knew that it was really better to give these gifts. The last one had no choice but to say: "In this way, the princes of the imperial court estimate that they are not short of copper coins, so they will prepare a batch of those liquor, fruit wine, rock sugar, perfume, Buddhist scriptures and other commodities produced in our own workshop." In this case, let's prepare a quota of 300,000, send 100,000 to Lieutenant Tian, and prepare a total of 200,000 for the rest. How to distribute, Zhang Jianjun is more familiar with the affairs of the capital, so he is in charge. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
