Chapter 492 Late Dynasty, Rewards Based on Merit and Royal Army Oversight

"I've seen the official family! The official family has lasted for thousands of years!"

"I've seen the Supreme Being!"

"Excuse me, gentlemen!"

Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair, waving his hands to indicate that the ministers on the left and right, the governors of the Privy Council, and the governors of the imperial army all straightened up to show their respects.

Li Gang, as the representative of the prime minister at the current Zhengshitang, took the lead to stand up and congratulate him, which was also the beginning.

"Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to Your Majesty, on your return from a great victory!

In the Song Dynasty, we had two wise emperors, Shenwu and Wu. Father and son were united in one heart and one mind, and they personally conquered and resisted the enemy. This was really unprecedented, and they were quite like the ancestors.

In particular, the Taishang was so powerful that he could kill an enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops like slaughtering a chicken or a duck. His officials were as powerful as a rainbow and led his army to annihilate ten thousand people of the Jin army.

There are officials and two emperors. Riding horses can ward off border troubles, and dismounting can govern the people. It is really the blessing of the Song Dynasty! What a blessing to the world!"

"Congratulations to the official family! Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Great Song Dynasty is victorious!"

The neat congratulations were accompanied by sincere blessings. No matter who was fighting or fighting, as long as he was not really traitorous, in the final analysis, he still hoped that the Song Dynasty would be better.

Especially now that the war has been won and rewards are given according to merit, the time has come for these people to take advantage of the situation and take action. They are all waiting to see who starts to talk about it.

After everyone stopped, Zhao Huan nodded to Zhao Ji, and then Zhao Ji spoke, causing all eyes to turn around.

"My lords, after today's great victory, the Song Dynasty will no longer be troubled by external troubles, and there will no longer be coins. This matter should be celebrated by the whole world.

The rewards I agreed with the people before I went on the expedition, and the merit calculations I agreed upon after the victory, should be well prepared and arranged one by one."

Coming!

All the ministers were listening attentively. Li Gangzhong, Shidao and others knew without thinking that it would be okay for them to take the lead, while the rest were thinking about how to share the benefits.

"On the side of Mazi Mountain, the main force of the Jin Army, 60,000, was wiped out. It was considered the first achievement and the reward was millions of silver coins. However, they were annihilated by the Ming Royal Army.

The Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty does not belong to the Song Dynasty, but is only under my direct and temporary management. Therefore, their military exploits and titles and awards are the responsibility of the Ming Emperor, and the Ministry of Rites does not need to manage them.

However, the corresponding bounty I promised will still be given to them by the Song Dynasty. The relevant battle damage statistics are based on the accumulation of heads. Xu Qing's family, you will be responsible for checking and handing it over to me. I will send someone to the Royal Army Camp.

.”

"I accept the decree.

But Your Majesty, I heard from the leaders of the Longwei Camp and the Guangji Canal Expansion Army that between Mazi Mountain and the Guangji River, there was smoke and coke, which was extremely pungent.

The Jin people seemed to have been vented by the Royal Army. Most of them were burnt to charcoal, and even the horses were torn apart. It was difficult to find the intact ones. It was terrible to look at, but also very satisfying.

But in this case, if the calculation is based on head count, I'm afraid they won't agree to this algorithm."

Xu Churen was originally happy to take over this job. After all, it was millions of taels. If he and the chief officer could reach an agreement, the money he would earn would be a lifetime's worth of money.

But when he heard Zhao Ji say that the Royal Army was not managed by the court, but directly by Zhao Ji, and the money had to be given to Zhao Ji first, he immediately became too lazy to deal with it.

After all, he is directly led by Zhao Ji, so how can he make money? Is it possible to negotiate with Zhao Ji that each person will get 20%? He is very lucky, right?

Thinking of the report of the investigation by the people below, Xu Churen suddenly had a reason and asked Zhao Ji for instructions to simplify the bounty process. Anyway, he couldn't get a penny, so why should he supervise? This was obviously Zhao Ji making money.

"Well, that's right. Let's calculate it based on Jin Jun's own roster.

Fortunately, Chenqiao Jin Camp still has a roster of Jin troops. When the time comes, the Ministry of Revenue will directly calculate the bounty to the Royal Army based on the number of people in each battalion of Jin troops."

Zhao Ji hadn't gone to Mazi Mountain to see it directly, so he didn't know how tragic the scene was. When he heard Xu Churen say this, he couldn't help but think of those artillery demonstration videos. It seemed that there was really no way to count the people.

After all, everyone has become a piece of cake, so it seems inappropriate to worry about how to calculate the credit?

"In addition to the main force of the Jin Army in Mazi Mountain, I, together with the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, annihilated the nearly 20,000 Jin troops on the Royal Pasture.

Therefore, the inspection of relevant battle reports and merit audits are handled by Li Qing, assisted by other governors, and generals such as Zhong Qing supervise the merits within the army.

You must ensure fairness and justice. You must not let the brothers in the army feel cold. You must not let their military exploits be seized by their superiors. I will not allow it!

As for the common people, the common people stood behind me when I was not alone with Onli. They also represented the unyielding will of the Song Dynasty, and later they had a charge with the Jin army.

It is difficult to count the people's military exploits, and they dare not cut off the heads of people. They join forces to kill but no one has a head, and even the head is snatched by the follow-up imperial army. You must be careful about this, and give certain comfort to the people.

We can't let the people who went to war feel cold. At least, all the people who left the city today registered with me and prepared to distribute ten guan of money and goods to each of them.

All the students who went out of the city to fight today have been registered and are waiting for my supervision to study. As for the civilians and soldiers who sacrificed today."

Zhao Ji stood up with sorrow in his eyes, and all the ministers suddenly became more serious.

However, they are already happy in their hearts. All the people who leave the city can receive ten strings! How many people have left the city? No one has counted them today. Isn’t it them who has the final say?

"As for the people and soldiers who died today, they served the country well.

All civilians who died in battle were honored as heroes who defended the country. If their family members were friendly, they would be promoted first, and those who were taken first would be registered.

Scholars who died in battle, regardless of their merits and honors, were awarded the title of Gentleman of the Wei Kingdom and were added to the list of Jinshi of the Wei Kingdom. They had already obtained the title and were inherited by their immediate family members.

The soldiers who died in the battle today will be promoted to three levels and buried according to the ceremony.

In addition, the family members of those who died will be rewarded with two hundred guan of property and ten acres of land, which can be exchanged for money..."

Zhao Ji's overall handling of the aftermath basically copied the Ming Dynasty's current rewards, but it would be more generous.

A group of ministers have no objection at all to funeral subsidies. They can also pay for the funeral expenses of the deceased people, and they can also fill up the vacancies in the army. This is simply the death of a golden man, and the world is full.

However, a group of courtiers were somewhat resistant to the list of scholars who had sacrificed their lives. However, Zhao Ji's bravery during the day was still there, so they did not dare to distinguish it from Zhao Ji.

"I have received the order, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will handle it impartially and make it known to the world."

"Well, of course I believe that you will handle it fairly, but after all, this is a reward involving tens of thousands of people, worth tens of millions of dollars in rewards and property.

The court manpower that Bianjing can mobilize is definitely not enough. The relationship between the imperial guards is complicated and the commanders are connected with each other. They need to avoid suspicion and cannot get involved.

Therefore, I have discussed with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty that more than a thousand members of the Ming Dynasty Royal Army will participate in verifying battle reports and distributing supplies.

At the same time, there will be more than 1,000 Ming Dynasty Royal Army troops to form the Song Dynasty Royal Army. They will transfer manpower from each camp of the Forbidden Army to train, and each army and battalion will fully cooperate."

"Your Majesty, you were saying just now that soldiers need to avoid suspicion. Doesn't this make sense for soldiers to participate in the distribution of property?

Moreover, the Royal Army does not fall under the jurisdiction of the three departments. If there is corruption and it is not managed, it is inappropriate and inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, I think what Governor Cai said is reasonable, but this matter is inappropriate."

"Improper? What's wrong?

The Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty does not belong to the Song Dynasty, as I told you before entering the city, so they will not get involved in some nonsense and will completely uphold fairness and justice.

As for corruption? In the entire Song Dynasty, they were the only ones who could not commit corruption! Because they could not bring anything back to the Ming Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. Any items from the Song Dynasty that they wanted to bring back would be subject to strict scrutiny.

Therefore, some of you, don't try to bribe them, because to them, the price you offer is just a number on paper and is of no use.

I repeat once again, as long as the Royal Army detects anyone who dares to steal credit, take credit, coerce or induce, he will be killed! The relevant responsible persons will be jointly and severally punished with Level 3.

Anyone who dares to commit corruption, use his or her methods, or report extravagant military exploits will be regarded as an enemy of the Song Dynasty and will be paraded through the streets, their homes will be ransacked, and their entire clan will be exiled!"

The threat in Zhao Ji's voice was very obvious and straightforward, and the ministers were a little uncomfortable with it. When had the emperor ever spoken so straightforwardly in the past?

The time for the end of the dynasty came soon. After Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan left the main hall, the officials began to stretch their muscles, looking at the completely dark sky outside, and talking among themselves.

"Where is this Ming Empire? Why has no one ever heard of it?

Moreover, 10,000 people were able to kill 60,000 Jin troops without leaving their corpses intact. It was too cruel and violent. Such an army could not be retained in the Song Dynasty."

"No corruption at all? I don't believe it. I don't like money. What about women? You can't take the money away, but women can, right?"

"That's all. Let's wait and see the details in the next two days. If the Royal Army can interfere with our work, we will throw them out no matter what. Da Song Dynasty, we have the final say."

"That's right!"

In the midst of the discussion, Li Gang crossed the threshold with his hands behind his hands. Xu Churen walked with him beside him. Tong Guan and other officials turned left, while Cai Mao, Li Chu and others looked at Li Gang with gloomy faces.

They couldn't figure out the emperor's idea, but they were clear about each other, and they already knew how to get the other person to go down.

As the important ministers and the imperial guards led the people back with torches, the city of Bianjing was still reveling in the carnival, and the sky soon became bright.

The next morning, several deputies of the Imperial City Department in Bianjing City were called to get up early by a mysterious colleague and assembled in the palace.

Each of them was asked to carry a bag and a loudspeaker, and then they were forcibly trained until they fully understood what they were going to do.

Then, when the sun rose, Zhao Ji and a few strange people stood in front of him. They all smiled ingratiatingly to Wang Chengen and then turned their heads.

"Remember everything that Supervisor Wang taught you just now!

Don't forget how to use this loudspeaker! What we are going to do today is for the Supreme Being to return victoriously and announce the great events to the world.

Who dares to cross the threshold? Watch your skin!

Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will let the generals of the Imperial City Department spread the news of Your Majesty’s bravery and the bloody battle of the Song Dynasty soldiers to the whole city!"

"Well, Hu Douzhi, you are an old man who follows Tong Dujian, which is good."

Tong Guan saw that Zhao Ji had not spoken any more. He waved his hand, and immediately everyone started to leave the palace with their things in hand. The newspapers on their waists showed the title of the Song Dynasty Emperor's Newspaper.

"I'd rather trouble Emperor Ming to send Superintendent Wang over to help me train these ineffective things."

"Emperor Song is joking, isn't he? What's the trouble? Wang Banban happens to be free and professional, so I asked him to come over.
