Xie Xing frowned slightly, then suddenly realized, and said,
"It's the gift you said you brought for us, right? Then why are you so embarrassed, I..."
"Is it possible that I can pull it back another three thousand li?"
Nian An smiled slightly.
"Okay, of course we have to accept the princess's wishes."
Xie Xing grinned, then turned around and called two commanders to come over with their troops.
The two thousand soldiers of the Yue family followed Wang Fugui Nian'an towards the Zhenbei Army camp. When they heard what they were going to do, they were all excited. They handed over their money and weapons to other colleagues and walked over there with their heads held high.
go.
After the other Yuejia troops learned about this, they returned to their camps and did not disperse to rest like the other guards. Instead, they lined up neatly and waited.
They can also be regarded as the guard army. The Yue Family Army exists in name only and belongs to the guard army in name. They live together with the other guard armies.
They stood neatly under the scorching sun, and no one had any complaints.
When the other guards saw their appearance, they were all curious. Some people asked them what they were doing, but they proudly held out their chests and remained silent.
So those people laughed at them for being idiots, and even after the meeting ended, they refused to rest and insisted on standing in the sun.
What are you showing? It's making you paralyzed.
However, Yue Jiajun snorted in his heart, "Just laugh, you can only laugh for a while, and later it will make your envious chicken turn purple."
Not long after, the convoy coming out of the Zhenbei Army camp arrived at the garrison camp and stopped in front of the neatly arranged group of Yuejia troops.
Then, the two thousand soldiers began to go.
The soldiers looked at them curiously, guessing what was in those boxes.
Based on their past experience in distributing military pay, it should be copper coins.
The county wants to pay us?
After the boxes are arranged, there is a soldier standing next to each box.
In the convoy behind, more than half of the supplies have not been unloaded, but they are all sacks, not boxes.
Xie Xing strode up to Yue Jiajun and shouted,
"Open!"
Wow!
The two thousand soldiers behind him immediately opened the box.
Suddenly everyone's eyes widened.
Inside that box were not copper coins, but all silver.
The white silver ingots dazzle under the sunlight, making people unable to open their eyes.
How much does that cost?
Xie Xing shouted,
"We have seen clearly that this is the princess's own property and she personally transported it to us. It has traveled three thousand miles from the capital to here.
The princess brought us money, bacon, grain, and quilts. She was worried that we would not have enough food and shelter here, and she was always thinking about us in her heart!"
The mountains of supplies and the gold and silver treasures all over the floor are more convincing than ten thousand kind words.
The princess really cared about them and brought them so many good things.
Xie Xing continued,
"Now, start distributing supplies. The money is distributed to everyone. It is placed in front of you. All the commanders go out and distribute it to the soldiers under your command.
Ten taels of silver per person!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, and fifty commanders strode out and came to the boxes.
The Yue family army became commotion. They guessed that the county commander wanted to pay them money, but they didn't expect that it would be so much.
That was ten taels of silver, equivalent to two years of their military pay.
Of course, ten taels of silver is nothing to the princess, but there are many people here.
A veteran in his thirties took a step forward, held his spear and said with a frown,
"General, your subordinates know how to count. If one person has ten taels of silver, wouldn't the fifty thousand taels be equal to 500,000 taels?"
This is not a small amount. When Marshal Yue was alive, he was honest and upright, but he could not even come up with 500,000 taels of silver. Now that the princess has given us so much, I am afraid she will go bankrupt.
Then how will she live her life in the future?
We can’t take this money!”
Hearing what the veteran said, everyone started to make a noise.
"Yes, we can't have it. How can the princess survive if we come?"
"Please take it back, Princess. We have military pay to support ourselves."
"We have food, clothing and shelter here. We are not hungry at all, so we don't need the money."
"You can't buy anything at Yumenguan, and you can't spend any money you have. We can't even spend all our military pay."
"Did the princess sell her house in the capital?"
"The princess cannot be wronged in the capital, and the ancestral home cannot be sold!"
The soldiers said something to each other, and the more they spoke, the more outrageous they became.
Nian An covered his mouth and snickered. Wang Fugui stood up and said loudly,
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
Sure enough, the crowd became quiet, and then a veteran shouted,
"Who are you and why should we listen to you?"
What the hell...
Wang Fugui almost rolled up his sleeves and hit someone.
Nian An was already laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
Wang Fugui said with a dark face,
"I am your unmarried husband to Princess Nian'an!"
"Oh, that's okay, just tell me."
That's pretty much it.
Wang Fugui smiled and said,
"This money is not the money Nian'an got from selling his house. The Duke's mansion is still doing well in the capital.
The supplies on the car were indeed brought from the capital. Nian An and I spent a very small part of our savings to buy them. We still have a lot of money.
As for these silver taels, they were the tax revenue that the county governor and prefect had embezzled over the years when we passed by Wuwei County. Part of this money was transported back to the court, and part of it belonging to Marshal Yue was brought here. This is the money.
.
When Marshal Yue was alive, the tax revenue from his fiefdom was distributed to the soldiers.
We just inherited Marshal Yue's last wish, and Nian'an, as his successor, implemented his beliefs, so we did this.
If you don't accept it, you are opposing what Marshal Yue did back then.
Why, if Marshal Yue was able to do this back then, Princess Nian'an can't do it?"
Wang Fugui was very smart and used Marshal Yue to suppress them. If they accepted Marshal Yue but not the princess, they looked down on the princess.
"Those dog officials actually embezzled so much money from Marshal Yue!"
The veteran was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his hand holding the spear tightened unconsciously. He wished he could stab the dog officer to death on the spot.
"Don't worry, I have sent people to escort the dog officer to the capital. The amount of corruption is huge, and he will definitely be beheaded."
Wang Fugui comforted him.
"That's good, that's good. Kill the dog officer and get back Marshal Yue's money. That's right."
"So, do you want the money that the princess has traveled thousands of miles to bring for you?"
"want!"
All the soldiers immediately lined up to receive the money from their respective commanders.
These silver coins are all ingots of silver ingots, and one ingot is exactly ten taels. In order to facilitate calculation and storage, the dog official specially melted the broken silver and cast it. Now it is more convenient for them.
