Things were told, but the actual implementation didn't seem that easy.
After this period of buffering.
Those government officials, soldiers, especially Xiang Yong, as soon as the ferocity in their hearts passed, the fear of dead people, or in other words, murder, immediately surged up!
At this time, let alone asking them to cut off the heads of the Goguryeo people, even if they were asked to take a look at the pile of corpses, they would probably pee on the spot!
Therefore, when these people heard that the squad leader was going to take people out to investigate, they all immediately rushed over, scrambling to leave this Shura place as soon as possible.
"Don't crowd! Don't crowd!"
The poor squad leader had just finished speaking to the magistrate, but before he could even call his name, he was squeezed in by a bunch of people! He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, his face turned red, and he wanted to shout loudly to maintain order, but he was so crowded that he couldn't shout at all.
"Calm down!"
At the critical moment, it was Wang Mengcai who roared and the crowd gradually quieted down!
Seeing hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at him with fear, horror, or even some hollow eyes, Wang Mengcai's heart was beating like "bang bang bang" even though this was his first time to kill an enemy in battle!
But he knew that if he was afraid and retreated at this moment, then this situation would probably become uncontrollable!
It has always been the case that people retreated after losing battles, but I have never heard of people being routed after winning battles!
If I had set a precedent today, then this contribution would be greatly discounted in the minds of the court officials, and maybe even wiped out.
Therefore, now, he can only suppress the fear in his heart and force himself to calm down!
"What are you afraid of! These dog-like aliens can't beat us alive, but they can beat us dead! Come back!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Mengcai first sternly scolded the crowd. Seeing that the crowd was a little annoyed by him, he paused, took another breath, pointed at the village and said, "More! What are these?" Is it a dead person? Bah! This is clearly a golden copper! Is it possible that you don’t even want the money?"
"Ah? Copper?"
"What copper? What money?"
"Mr. Magistrate, we haven't read books, so don't try to trick us!"
The method of beating a mallet and giving a sweet date to eat is effective no matter when you put it!
Hearing the county magistrate say that these corpses, which were lying in disorder and looked horribly dead, turned out to be copper, the crowd that had been quiet just now suddenly became noisy again!
However, unlike just now when they acted in a mess out of fear, this time people's eyes clearly showed greed!
Sure enough, my eyes widen when I see money, the ancients will not deceive me!
Under the charm of Brother Kong Fang, all monsters, monsters, and beauties have to make way for me!
"What kind of copper?!"
Seeing that everyone was no longer frightened, Wang Mengcai felt calm in his heart. He snorted with a straight face and said, "Why, no one told you when we recruited government soldiers? If there is anything captured on the battlefield, behead it to the first level." It is a military merit!
What we killed today were not mountain bandits, but actual foreign invaders! They were also captured on the battlefield! So, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, each of these heads is worth three pieces of silk and three pieces of copper coins! Tsk tsk, you all Don’t want it anymore?”
"What? Three pieces of silk and three pieces of copper coins?!"
As soon as Wang Mengcai finished speaking, he heard gasps from the crowd! Looking at many local heroes, they even started to count their fingers and calculate how much this head is worth!
There is a shortage of copper in the Central Plains, and there is always not enough copper! Therefore, many times, transactions between people, including the state's salary payments to court officials, will be paid in kind!
These physical objects include gold, silver, silk, silk, and even salt, tea and other objects.
Among these physical objects, silk cloth is undoubtedly popular with everyone, which is the so-called hard currency in the market!
A piece of silk is about three feet long.
At its best, it was worth three guan of copper coins. Even if the output in Jiangnan has increased and the price has dropped, it is still worth more than 2 guan.
After all, one head is equivalent to about ten guan of money!
This is ten coins from the early Tang Dynasty!
Although this amount of money is completely despising to today's Xiao Han, it is definitely an astronomical sum for these honest farmers who can only dig food on the land!
You know, a bullock now only costs twelve or three guan! If those village warriors took the ten guan reward, they wouldn't be able to afford a bullock, but they would still have money left over if they bought a stronger calf!
Thinking of cows, almost all Xiangyong's eyes turned red!
Future generations may never understand what a cow means to today's farmers!
With cattle, your land will be plowed deeper and faster than others. Not only will you plant more land, but you will also be able to harvest better food than others!
It can be said that in an era where farming was the foundation, one cattle was more useful than seven or eight strong laborers!
At this time in the village, if any family has a farm cow, that family will immediately become the most respected family in the village, and the treatment will be worthy of praise.
Nothing more than that I could rent some cattle from him during farming time.
Unfortunately, everyone knows that cows are a good thing, but the price of these cows is enough to prohibit most farmers! For example, in this Wei family village, there is no cow in the entire village.
Now, I just followed the big boss and stabbed a few blindly, and I can earn a calf back? God, am I not dreaming?
"I, I just stabbed two Goguryeo people in the head..."
"And me! I chopped off the heads of four aliens!"
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned red! In a blink of an eye, the people who were originally surrounding the class leader all cheered and gathered around Wang Zhixian! They all shouted excitedly!
And the number of enemies killed quickly increased from one or two hundred to eight or nine hundred.
But the problem is, there are only so many corpses on the ground! How did you calculate these eight or nine hundred heads? One person cannot have seven or eight heads, right?
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Being yelled at by a group of people again, Wang Mengcai couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly again: "Team leader! You first bring a few good guys and go out to be on guard! If there is any situation, report it quickly!"
"Here!" The class leader agreed, but hesitated and did not leave.
When Wang Mengcai saw his appearance, he naturally knew what he was thinking, and immediately snorted coldly: "You can just go on your own, don't worry, I won't owe you any credit!"
"Hahaha, I have the order!"
As soon as he said this, the squad leader's face really lit up with joy! He didn't waste any more time and quickly named a few of his capable men, assigned directions, and ran around.
