The leader of the patrolling horse guards tightened his clothes and chuckled, "Can I keep some for myself?"

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Then you have to ask that tough mother-in-law of yours. When I came here, your mother-in-law came to me specifically and asked me to help you save the money you earned.

Leave it to her."

When the leader of the patrolling horse guard heard this, he became anxious and said, "I kill people without blinking an eye, and yet I am afraid of a woman like her."

"Um?!"

Kou Ji stared.

The leader of the patrolling horse guards immediately said timidly: "You villain... you know you are wrong..."

Kou Ji snorted coldly, grabbed the sleeve of the patrolling horse guard leader, pulled him to his side, and arrogantly took out a gold cake, two golden Buddhas, and some scattered silver from the patrolling horse guard leader's arms.

and copper coins, after sizing it up for a moment, he snatched the pure gold scimitar from the hand of the leader of the horse guard, stuffed the copper coins back again, and threw the rest into the carriage behind him.

"If you want to be mean, when you return to Bianjing City, you can go to your own mother-in-law. Don't be mean in front of me, or I'll slap you. Your mother-in-law is now taking care of my grandfather's food and clothing expenses. I don't dare to provoke you easily.

Do you think you can afford it?"

"A gold cake weighing five and a half taels, two golden Buddhas weighing three and a half taels, plus some scattered silver, priced at one thousand two hundred guan..."

"The imperial court will store 50% of the gold, silver and jewelry seized by Liu Heng. You will get 30%. The Japanese soldiers who accompanied the army and the Imperial City spies will each get 10%..."

"In this battle, you made a total profit of seven thousand guan. I will cash in the deal and give it to you. You can take it yourself, or you can let me save it for you."

"..."

Seeing that Kou Ji had already counted his friends, the leader of the patrolling horse guard immediately rubbed his hands and said, "I will keep it warm in my arms for now, and then I will give it to you for safekeeping when there is a war."

"You're worthless stuff...I can still appreciate your little money..."

Kou Ji cursed in a low voice, handed the Jiaozi he took out of the box to the leader of the patrolling horse guards, and waved his hands in disgust, "Get out of here..."

"Next……"

The leader of the patrol horse guard held Jiaozi in his hands and left Kou Ji's carriage with a bright smile.

Immediately a man from the next horse guard came forward.

One by one, they took out what they had captured, exchanged it for Jiaozi from Kou Ji, and happily left with the Jiaozi.

The patrol horse guards are private.

The trophies they captured from killing horse thieves in the dense forest are all private property and do not need to be returned to the public.

Logically speaking, as private members of the Kou Mansion, they must hand over at least 70% of the money they seized to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji didn't want to taint the money they exchanged for their lives, so he voluntarily gave up this part.

It was Kou Ji's rule that the men of the patrolling horse guards should hand over the spoils of war and exchange them for exchanges.

This was to prevent the men on horseback from being distracted by protecting their trophies while fighting on the battlefield.

at the same time.

Kou Ji is also using this to show kindness.

It's one thing for the horse patrol men to capture a large sum of money on the battlefield, but it's another thing to be able to send it back safely.

They delivered the loot to Kou Ji, and Kou Ji would definitely help them safely return it to Bianjing City and deliver it to their families.

Even if Koji loses their loot along the way.

Yizijiaozi Shop will also honor the Jiaozi in their hands.

The men on the horse patrol quickly exchanged the spoils of war in their hands, and each of them happily gathered together to brag to each other.

Kou Ji looked back at the carriage cabin, which was filled with miscellaneous things, and yawned.

Liu Heng came to Kou Ji with a box in his arms.

Kou Ji opened it, took a look, and threw it into the carriage cabin.

From the box in his hand, he took out a stack of small-denomination Jiaozi, threw it to Liu Heng, and said in a neutral tone: "The imperial court wants 50%, isn't it too much?"

Liu Heng put the small denomination Jiaozi into his arms and said with a wry smile: "Li Gong told the officials that you have a way of making money, and you will definitely make a lot of money during this trip to the west. Let the officials make sure to do it."

Keep an eye on what you capture during this trip in the Western Region.

The officials told me that after the war, I must count and seal up the portion of the loot that belongs to the imperial court.

Although I have my heart towards you, I cannot openly disobey the official's will."

Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "My men fought the war, but I haven't gotten a penny yet. I'm not happy about it."

Liu Heng rolled his eyes, "The officials have been very kind to you... When other soldiers and horses seized trophies, the court had to take 60% of the trophies. The officials only took 50% of the trophies from you, but promised to distribute them to you.

Spoils of war, the power to reward soldiers."

Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "So, I still have to thank the officials?"

Liu Heng rolled his eyes again, "That's the power to win people's hearts. The officials have promised it to you, which means they have great trust in you. Go look through the military documents stored by the court and see who else has it.

this power.

Besides, you are not entirely without benefits.

The officials have said that all the cattle and sheep seized will belong to you.

The more than 10,000 cattle and sheep seized this time are all yours."

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "The cattle and sheep have been killed and used as military rations."

"That's your own generosity..."

Liu Heng said seriously.

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said unexpectedly: "When did you learn to speak for the court?"

Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial court is now crazy about poverty. Although Mr. Li has withdrawn from the court, he has been worried about the treasury. Mr. Li secretly told me through the channels of the Imperial City Division that if we do not gain anything in the Western Regions, then all

Don't mention it.

If you gain something, you must keep enough of the imperial court's share."

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are guarding such a big and wealthy country and you can still be so poor. Do you blame me?"

Liu Heng heard this and couldn't laugh or cry.

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said: "The issue of seizures in the future will be yours to deal with. I don't care about it. Send someone back to Bianjing City and tell Mu Chong, Qian Le and Meng Weizhong.

It is said that the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Qingtang has been made clear, the people of Qingtang will not embarrass them, and they can pass with confidence.

Let them bring people and goods to Qingtang as soon as possible.

When we go back, we will also send back our trophies."

Liu Heng said blankly: "Can they safely send our trophies back?"

Kou Jidao: "You must not underestimate the merchant."

"I'm not shy either..."

"Without Xiaoxun, you wouldn't have said what you just said."

"..."

"Go and give money to the Japanese soldiers and the people under your command."

Kou Ji waved his hand, put on his clothes and lay down in the carriage.

He just casually complained about the competition for profits, not really wanting to get some share of the spoils.

The spoils of war are something that everyone is looking at.

The more he eats, the more jealous others become.

It's better not to take any money and quietly make money through business.

Money, no matter in any era, is the most eye-catching thing.

Kou Jicai distributed the rewards.

The next day word spread throughout the marching ranks.

The men on the horse guard held huge sums of money in their arms and said nothing.

The Japanese soldiers who participated in the war were very good at holding Jiaozi.

They just went out for a trip, cleaned up the battlefield, and received several rewards. How could they be so unruly?

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who had not participated in the war were very jealous when they looked at the Jiaozi in the hands of those who had participated in the war.

Immediately.

One by one, they ran up to Gao Yi, talking about friendship and friendship, and asked Gao Yi to take them with him the next time he went to war.

Gao Yi agreed to them dumbfounded.

The men on the horse guard carried huge sums of money, and after carrying it for a day, they handed it over to Kou Ji.

It's not that they don't want to live longer, it's that they know that what they are doing is a fool's errand.

It doesn't matter if his head falls on the battlefield, but if Jiaozi falls because of it, it will be a huge loss.
