Chapter 122 Bai Qi's Suggestion, Pay For The Soldiers And The Common People First
In the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yang Wudi and the others have long been stunned by Bai Qi's results, and everyone is discussing how to distribute the seized in full swing.
But at this time, Yang Paifeng said: "It's just such a little thing, you are fighting for it, you have never seen the world!"
What?
Everyone was stunned.
What do you mean we haven't seen the world.
That's 50,000 war horses!
The price of a war horse is definitely worth one or two acres of fertile land. In some places, it is a simple matter to exchange a war horse for a house.
50,000 war horses, the value is unimaginable, how come Yang Paifeng has never seen the world?
Everyone immediately calmed down and looked at Bai Qi and Yang Paifeng.
Someone dryly said: "Is this not over yet?"
Yang Paifeng raised his chin proudly and hummed: "Of course I didn't play anymore! Bai Qi, sue them, what else can we gain!"
Everyone held their breath and looked at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi continued to report: "Fourth, we got 70,000 scimitars and 60,000 Xiongnu bows and arrows!"
It's done!
The ten thousand generals rubbed their hands. Although they didn't use the scimitar, they could melt the scimitar directly into molten iron and recast the sword.
This will allow their weapons to undergo a major change, eliminating all the old and damaged weapons and replacing them with the most sophisticated equipment.
The Xiongnu's longbow, although not as sophisticated as that of Dazhou, can be sold for money. Selling it to those hunters is also a lot of income.
But at this time, these ten thousand generals who have a good relationship with Yang Paifeng started to joke.
"I said, little girl, don't you know how to settle accounts?"
"Although giving some scimitars and bows and arrows is also very valuable, our Da Zhou is a master of making weapons. All the iron weapons on the grassland come from our Da Zhou."
"War horses are a scarce resource."
"Why are these swords worth more in your mouth?"
"It's a good thing you didn't get married. If you marry someone to take charge of the family's money in the future, you will definitely lose all your property to others!"
After the victory of the war, these tens of thousands of generals were in a very good mood, so they made a joke with Yang Paifeng.
After all, many of them are Yang Paifeng's uncles and elders, and there are several Yang family generals alone, and they are all old brothers of Yang Wudi.
Yang Paifeng
He just rolled his eyes and snorted, "It's you who don't know how to settle accounts, do you think this is over?"
What? and also?
At this time, everyone was stunned, even Yang Wudi was astonished.
After all, grabbing prisoners on the grassland, capturing horses, scimitars, bows and arrows, is considered a regular harvest.
What else?
Everyone looked at Bai Qi curiously.
And according to Yang Paifeng, the final capture is the highlight.
Bai Qi smiled at this moment, and said plainly:
"Commander, in fact, the last result of our battle this time is that I sent people to plunder the Dragon Court on the Grassland, looting their accumulated wealth for decades.
A total of countless gold and silver utensils, porcelain, and silk were obtained.
Converted according to the market price, a total of 800,000 taels of silver! "
Bai Qi's voice fell.
Yang Wudi almost staggered and fell directly, almost suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The surrounding soldiers opened their mouths even more.
"How much? Did I hear correctly!"
These tens of thousands of generals huffed and surrounded Bai Qi, their eyes stared like copper bells, and they even felt that their ears were hallucinating.
800,000 taels, that's not 800 taels!
You must know that 800,000 taels of silver is equivalent to the military expenditure of the Great Zhou Dynasty for 4 years.
It can be said that all the people present have never seen so much money in their entire lives.
None of them add up.
What did you say? Bai Qi shrugged the beast fight, you heard me right, it is 800,000 taels of silver!
There was a sound of gasping in the tent.
These generals felt extremely tense even to breathe, and their faces flushed with excitement. This was much more exciting than picking up money, because it was a robbery.
I go! I go!
The generals were so excited that they didn't know how to describe it. Bai Qi's gains from this battle were simply too fat!
This is how it should feel to get rich overnight.
Yang Wudi rubbed his hands back and forth in the big tent, and said excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up and report the battle report here to the capital."
"Then pack up all the gold and silver belongings and bring them back to the capital!"
Hearing that Yang Wudi wanted to pack up all the gold and silver belongings and send them back to Dazhou Capital.
Although the tens of thousands of generals were reluctant to give up, no one dared to intervene. After all, the generals of the border town would never dare to touch such a large amount of money.
However, at this moment, Bai Qi shouted in a deep voice: "Daddy!"
Handsome, wait a minute, this money cannot be sent to the capital. "
Yang Wudi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at Bai Qi and said, "What do you mean?"
Bai Qi said solemnly: "The money is in our own hands now, we must spend all the money that should be spent. If the money is sent to the capital, if we want it later, it will be as difficult as heaven."
"So I propose that we use this huge sum of money to pay for the soldiers."
"First, the food and salaries of all the soldiers in Honghua City will be distributed in one lump sum this year."
"Second, compensate all the people for their losses during the defense of Honghua City."
"The people have been with us for so long, helping us defend the city and fight the war. We cannot let the people suffer innocent disasters."
"Third, the soldiers who died in battle must double the pension for their families."
"According to what I mean, a 30-year pension will be issued to soldiers at one time."
"Even if the court doesn't want to give them pensions in the future, with this huge sum of money, the families of these soldiers will surely live comfortably."
After Bai Qi finished speaking, all the generals applauded.
This is simply what they most want to do.
Let all those who contributed in this war get the benefits they deserve.
They turned to Yang Wudi's cupped hands one by one and said: "Commander, what General Bai Qi said is right! Now that we have money in our hands, we should hurry up and distribute pensions to the soldiers."
"Once the war is over, we will look back and ask the court for food and pensions. It will be as difficult as heaven!"
Yang Wudi was also stunned at the moment, Bai Qi's proposal was really too tempting.
but!
The consequences of doing so are very serious.
Yang Wudi said solemnly to Bai Qi: "You have to think clearly, if you really do this, the memorial to impeach you will spring up like mushrooms after rain."
"You are a traitor and traitor with great achievements in everyone's heart!"
"Big Universe will not let you go."
Yang Wuji didn't say whether he would be accused by thousands of people and scolded by courtiers.
If Bai Qi dares to do this, then why not let him accompany Bai Qi?
Anyway, if there is no Bai Qi, he will definitely die in Honghua City.
Bai Qi laughed loudly, and said with firm eyes: "I can be sorry to my elder brother, but I absolutely can't be sorry to my brothers who were born and died with me."
"Money, first spend it as I said, and transport the rest back to the capital."
