Chapter 1,213 The Emperor's Favor is Great, and the Silver Reward is Doubled
Today is destined to be an unforgettable day for the people of Jingnan. Today is destined to be a day recorded in the history of Jingnan.
Outside the west gate of Jingnan County.
Half a month ago, this was the main battlefield for Japanese pirates to attack Jingnan. More than 3,000 Japanese pirates attacked the city. Tens of thousands of people defended the city, fighting to the death, and blood flowed like a river. Traces of the bloody battle at that time still remain on the city gates and wall tiles.
.
At this moment, the place was crowded with people. Most of the people from Jingnan County came one after another and gathered in the open space outside the city gate. There were nearly ten thousand people. People on three levels inside and three outside gathered in front of the city gate, surrounding the county
The stage that the government servants had just built was full of excitement, and it was even more lively than watching a play.
"Does the county magistrate really want to give us silver rewards?! Is this the place where the money is distributed?!"
"That's still a lie! When did our county magistrate lie to us and say that we will definitely be issued!"
"Hahaha, when I went to the city wall to help the county magistrate fight the Japanese pirates, my mother-in-law was still acting recklessly and obstructing me in every possible way. A few days ago, the county government issued a reward of five taels of silver, and my mother-in-law's attitude changed and she became completely obedient to me.
Baishun, when I get the reward money and go back today, I have to let that woman praise my smelly feet."
"What about the county magistrate? Our county magistrate has been promoted to the fifth rank of Sentencing and Inspector Si Qianshi. Fortunately, the court is thinking of us, the people of Jingnan. In view of the fact that the candidate for the county magistrate of Jingnan has not yet been decided, a county cannot be ignorant of the county for a day.
, this allowed our county magistrate to temporarily serve as the county magistrate of Jingnan as the fifth-grade sentencing envoy Si Qianshi. When the Ministry of Personnel selects the candidate for Jingnan County Magistrate, as soon as the new county magistrate takes office, our county magistrate will go
I went to the Yamen office to do the work of punishing and inspecting the envoy, Si Qian."
"I really can't bear to let our magistrate go. Such a good magistrate can't be found even with a lantern. Otherwise, we can jointly submit a letter asking the court not to bother choosing a successor, and just leave the magistrate to us.
.”
"You old Wangtou are so selfish. If you are really good for our magistrate, don't block the future of our magistrate. If you dare to stir up trouble in private, I, Zhu Laosan, will be the first to deal with you.
"
People started talking excitedly, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time. Everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
It can be seen from the excitement on the faces of the people in Jingnan that Zhu Pingan has high credibility in the minds of the people in Jingnan. The people believe in Zhu Pingan, and the vast majority of people believe that Zhu Pingan will give them as the notice said.
Give out silver rewards.
Not long after people had waited, they saw many government officials walking out of the city gate. Liu Dachui directed thirty government officials to come to the crowd and spread out to form a human cordon to maintain order.
Then, there were twenty fully armed government officials, working in pairs, carrying a wooden box. A total of ten wooden boxes were carried to the stage. The box was very heavy and made a heavy "bang" sound when it was placed on the stage.
.
"What's in the box?"
"Could it be silver?!"
When people saw the ten big boxes, they couldn't help but speculate excitedly.
"Look, the county magistrate is here."
Someone shouted, diverting everyone's attention from the wooden box to the city gate.
Sure enough, when Xun Sheng looked around, he saw Zhu Ping'an wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, leading the new county officials, clerks and others of Jingnan County Government walking from the city gate, walking to the stage, and facing the people gathered in front of the stage.
The common people bowed their hands and saluted.
"Good morning, fellow citizens."
Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and saluted the common people. In order for everyone to hear, Zhu Pingan amplified his voice.
Because there were so many people, Liu Dachui and more than 30 government officials who maintained order repeated what Zhu Pingan said loudly.
This can be considered ancient wisdom, the human trumpet.
"Half a month ago, more than 3,000 crazy Japanese pirates invaded Jingnan and besieged Jingnan County. It was you who were not afraid of sacrifice and defended the city to the death, so that Jingnan was defended. You are all heroes of Jingnan. Without you, we would not be able to survive."
There would be no Jingnan today. Before I defend the city, I promise you that all soldiers and civilians who have the courage to defend the city will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, those who are injured will be rewarded with an additional ten taels of silver, and those who are killed will receive an additional fifty taels of silver. I am ashamed.
, due to the financial shortage of our Jingnan County Government, in the past half month, I have only cashed in less than 30%." Zhu Pingan first reviewed the feat of the army and the people working together to defend the city half a month ago, praised the people, and then felt ashamed.
He gave a long bow to everyone and expressed his shame for not being able to cash in the reward in time.
"Mr. Magistrate, I don't blame you. We have all heard that in order to reward us with silver rewards, the Magistrate not only converted the grain in the county government granary to us, but also emptied your own wealth.
Come out and give us a reward of silver."
"Master Magistrate, you have done a good enough job. If you hadn't seen through the Japanese pirates' plot to attack the east and west, if you hadn't defended the city to the death, and if you hadn't led us to defend the city, we would have become the victims of the Japanese pirates."
People were moved by Zhu Pingan and shouted emotionally.
After everyone calmed down, Zhu Ping'an then clasped his fists towards the north and said loudly, "Thanks to the wiseness of the Holy Emperor, the great kindness of the Emperor, who loves the people like his own son. He is in the capital and cares about the thousands of people in Jingnan. At the beginning of the year
At that time, the Holy One issued a special reward, setting the bounty of 30 taels of silver for the head of the fake Japanese, and the bounty of 50 taels of silver for the head of the real Japanese. Today, the Holy One has given me golden words to double the silver reward for killing the Japanese in Jingnan.
The reward for fake Japanese heads is 60 taels of silver, and the reward for real Japanese heads is 100 taels. This time in Jingnan, we captured a total of 824 Japanese heads, including 363 real Japanese heads and 363 fake heads.
The head is four hundred and sixty-one. This time, thanks to the grace of the Holy One, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments jointly issued a reward of 63,960 taels of silver to Jingnan. The reward was fully paid yesterday.
Distribute it to my office."
"How many?!"
"Sixty-three thousand nine hundred and sixty taels of silver?! Oh my God, I have never seen so much silver in my life. This must be a mountain of gold and silver."
After hearing this, people burst into excitement.
"Open the box!"
Zhu Pingan turned around and said to the heavily armed government officials guarding the wooden box.
"duang"
"duang"
The yamen servant took out the key, opened the iron rope of the box, and opened the box towards everyone. The white silver in the box suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The ten boxes were like ten small mountains of silver. Plus today's
The sunlight was very powerful, and the silver reflected rays of light, and the floating light leaped into gold, connecting into one, like a sea of silver, which almost blinded everyone's eyes.
"Wow!"
"Oh my god! My eyes are going blind!"
"That's a lot of silver. I can't help it anymore. I can't breathe. I've never seen so much silver in my life."
"Oh my god, I will boast a lot from now on! It's nearly 70,000 taels of silver! Who has seen it?! I have seen it!"
These ten boxes of silver immediately pushed the scene to its peak, and people were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
