Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall.

470,000 yuan, this is indeed not a small amount, this money is enough for the two officials, Wang Xiaowei and Zhang Zuoyi, to take risks and give birth to greed for ink. Not to mention them, even Li Jing was moved, and secretly calculated in his heart, even if it was divided equally, each of them would have more than 40,000 yuan. For more than 40,000 yuan, you can buy four acres of fertile land at home, or buy 200 buckets of grain. What's more, Li Jing shot five thieves alone, and there were two bandit leaders with heavy rewards. The two bandit leaders alone were worth one hundred and eighty pieces of silk and thirty pieces of money. The two bounties add up to nearly 200,000 dollars.

But he only thought about it for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.

Li Jing looked at the sky, and it was already dawning. The mountains are green and green, hidden in the frost and mist.

"Captain Wang and Zhang Zuo, killing the enemy to repay the merits, I'm afraid I have to ask for the head of the bandits. In addition, if it is said that the two hundred and fifty horses of silk were lost in the hands of thieves, will they not be held responsible? Li Jing asked cautiously.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed a head-cutting calculation, but this is not the case in all cases. For example, when fighting in the field, there is a custom that when doing war, you must not stop and cut off the head, and military merits are verified by the special marching record room. Like us this time, if we don't meet the gang of bandits later, we need to cut the bandits' heads for verification. However, when we encounter the enemy again later, it is too late to cut off the head of the enemy, and it is also allowed. As for the loss of those silks, it was all because of the thieves, we were ten against hundred, and after just ending a battle, it was not easy to break through, how could the boss blame us again? ”

Zhang Zuoyan also smiled and said: "We also know Brother Li's worries, we all know this matter, and my brother listens to the arrangement of his brothers, and he will never remember that you have suffered a loss." This time, you killed five thieves alone, and both leaders also died at your hands, we will write these things, and the reward will be the brother's. ”

According to Zhang Zuo, ten enemies were killed, and Li Jing killed five alone, including the two thieves. Wang Chong killed one enemy, Wang Xiaoshi, Li Qiusheng, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Xigou each killed one enemy. In addition, Wang Chongji was seriously injured, Zhang Zuoyan was slightly injured, Wang Jiacheng was slightly injured, and Wang Liang was killed in battle.

In the late Tang Dynasty, it was customary for the armies to kill the enemy and to reward them for their injuries. For example, if an officer like Wang Chong is seriously injured, he will be given 10 guan according to the third class of the united army's combat merits, and if he is lightly injured, he will be given 5 guan according to the fourth class. For example, ordinary unity soldiers such as Wang Jiacheng will be rewarded for serious injuries according to the fourth-class merit, Qian Wuguan, and minor injuries according to the fifth-class merit, and Qian Sanguan. If Wang Liang dies in battle, it is equivalent to a third-class meritorious service pension, and he has ten times of money.

For this, Li Jing thought about it carefully, and felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to remember five kills. After all, Captain Wang was an officer and was seriously injured. If he hadn't pinned down the bandits, he wouldn't have been able to kill five of them. So after thinking about it, Li Jing proposed that it would be enough to remember four enemy kills, after all, killing four enemies can be regarded as the first class of military merit, and it doesn't make much sense to remember more.

In addition, he also proposed that the thief's head monkey cheek face was killed by Captain Wang, and the first level of Scarface was calculated to Zhang Zuo. In this way, Li Jing killed four enemies, Captain Wang killed one enemy, and was the leader of the bandits, and Zhang Zuoyan also killed one enemy, and he was the second leader of the bandits. The remaining four kills remain unchanged.

As for the two sums of money, the bounties of the two leaders were naturally obtained by Wang Xiaowei and Zhang Zuoyan. In this way, Captain Wang had to offer a reward of 100 horses of silk and 20 pieces of money. Zhang Zuo got eighty horses of silk and ten pieces of money. Li Jing got forty horses of silk and twenty pieces of money. Li Xiaoshan, Xiaoshi, Li Xigou, and Li Qiusheng each got ten horses of silk and five pieces of money.

This proposal surprised Wang Xiaowei and Zhang Zuoyi, especially Zhang Zuoyi, who originally had no first-class merit, and now Li Jing not only gave him one, but also gave him a second-leader bandit leader, which is not only worth eighty horses of silk and ten yuan. With this first-level merit reward, in addition to the reward, he will definitely have to receive other rewards.

Captain Wang was also taken aback, the bandit leader gave it to him like this, which really surprised him. He thought to himself, even if it was himself, it was impossible to share this credit with them so happily. He did have the idea of envying Li Jing's military exploits in his heart, but he just thought about it, after all, Li Jing saved him twice in a row, and he couldn't open it at all. Unexpectedly, Li Jing could guess his thoughts, and he really happily took out such an important bandit leader to him, which made him happy and moved, and he couldn't help but look up to Li Jing a little bit.

The so-called reciprocating the peach, Captain Wang really needs this head to be promoted. After a few pretentious shirks on the surface, he accepted it with a smile. Then he immediately proposed: "The elder brother gave such a big gift to the brothers, and we can't be too stingy as elder brothers." In this way, Zhang Zuoyi and I will write down the great achievements of the elder brother in detail in the excerpts of the table of merits, and when we arrive in Penglai, we will direct the boss to protect the elder brother for an official position. ”

"In addition, these 250 pieces of silk were originally made up by your Wang Li Village, so I and your brother Zhang don't want this one. It's all yours, and it's up to you to divide it up to your fellow villagers. ”

Even if 250 horses of silk are divided equally among eleven people, one person can share more than 20 horses of silk, not to mention that these two people are both chiefs, so they must take the lion's share. Now they say that they don't have to divide this part, and they can be regarded as returning Li Jing's favor.

Li Jing was not too polite, after all, he had also paid a lot, and no matter how polite he was, Wang Zhong and them would feel that Li Jing was unwilling to befriend them.

In addition to Wang Liang, there were nine other people who came out of Wang Li Village. 250 horses of silk, each person can share a lot of comparison.

After the end, Li Jing consulted with everyone and decided to give 50 of the silk horses to the dead Wang Liang. Although Wang Liang died, a bereavement pension would also be given. But even if there is a bereavement pension, there will definitely be some deductions, and there are not many who can get it. What's more, on the surface, Wang Liang is still Li Jing's brother-in-law, and Wang Liang is also engaged to Li Jing's sister. As the first companion to die in the same village, everyone had no objection to this decision.

Especially the four descendants of the Wang family, speaking of which they still have some relatives with Wang Liang, they can't help but feel a little sad at this time. Seeing that Li Jing proposed to give 50 horses to the silk king's family, they all agreed very much.

There are 200 horses of silk left, nine people to divide, how to divide them? Everyone looked at Li Jing, and they also heard that Li Jing gave his two bandit leaders military exploits to Zhang Zuoyi and Wang Xiaowei, so that Wang Xiaowei and they gave them all these silks.

"Brother Xiucai contributed the most, if it weren't for Brother Xiucai, we would definitely go underground with Wang Liang this time. If you want me to say, these 200 silk Xiucai brothers will take 120 horses each, and each of the eight of us will take 10 horses. Xiao Shi was the first to speak up, although his surname was Wang, he was actually closer to Li Jing than Qiusheng and them.

Wang Liugen and the others all nodded, they were already very satisfied to get 10 horses of silk, which was worth 8,000 yuan, and they didn't have to buy 40 buckets of rice. Take the silk back, and you can solve the family's food for this year.

Only Wang Dong said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't have an opinion on showing more talents, but why is there so much difference?" When I fought the bandits, although I didn't get the first rank, I was also killed. If it weren't for me and Liu Gen protecting Captain Wang's back at that time, how could he have survived to the very end? ”

Li Xiaoshan also shouted on the side: "You don't have to die now, you can be content." ”

saw people from the same village, but at this time, they were clearly divided into two groups. Li Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, leaving Wang Li Village at this time, there were only a few partners he could trust and rely on, and he didn't want them to be divided into two groups and fight non-stop.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Jing said: "That's it, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshi, Xiaogou and Xiaocarpenter, the four of you have ten silks each, after all, you all have a first-level skill." Liu Gen and Xiaodong, the four of you, each of you have ten horses, and I will divide you ten horses from my one, so that you will have twenty horses each, how about this? ”

Wang Dong saw that Li Jing took out forty horses of silk from his share and gave them them, but he didn't give them Xiaoshi, and immediately felt that Li Jing was still very good to them, so he nodded and agreed.

At that moment, Li Jing asked people to take down 250 horses of silk from the donkey's pack, and gave all the shares according to the agreed number. Li Jing got 80 horses, Wang Dong and the four of them had 20 horses, and Xiaoshi had 10 horses. Li Jing originally planned to take out another 40 horses to give Wang Chong and Zhang Zuoyi 20 horses each, but they insisted on refusing to accept them, and they had to give up.

After distributing the silk, everyone in Wangli Village was happy, and this could be said to be the first money they earned. The joy of the harvest also drove away the previous fears, and everyone carefully wrapped the silk and put it back on the donkey. When they arrived in the state and county, they found an opportunity to send these silk trustees back to the village.

After doing this, the boiling water and porridge were cooked, and everyone gathered together to drink the porridge happily. Wang Zuo had already finished writing the battle report, and he also helped Wang Chong write a copy on his behalf. Li Jing has read both reports, and although there are some exaggerations on them, they are basically reliable. Both of their reports focused on praising Li Jing's courage and resourcefulness, saying that Li Jing had the talent of a general and could be of great use.

When breakfast was over, everyone's physical exhaustion and mood were swept away. Li Jing helped Wang Chong onto the horse, Wang Chong said with a smile: "My brother is helping me to get on the horse now, and when I return to the state, my brother will also help my brother for a ride, this time, no matter what, you can give the official a gift, and you will leap into the clouds!" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, looked into the distance and said, "Borrowing the auspicious words of Captain Wang, I hope so!" Although he said it plainly, his heart was full of anticipation. Although he knew in his heart that even if he could really give the product to the official, it could only be a junior official of the ninth rank who had just entered the stream. But although this seems to be a small step, it is actually a big step for soldiers and officers, and a step that many people cannot cross in a lifetime.

His father had never crossed this step in his life, but he was different.
