British Duke Zhang Mao and Minister of War Xu Jin and others also appeared here at this time.

Xu Jin had been wondering along the way whether His Majesty was really capable of giving nearly 100,000 Beijing officers and soldiers, but when he came to the school ground, he was stunned when he saw boxes of silver shining brightly under the clear sky.

Xu Jin didn't expect that His Majesty was not only capable of giving rice to nearly 100,000 Beijing officers and soldiers, but also had all broken silver hair! Because there was no half stone rice or cloth pepper at the scene.

In the 18th year of Hongzhi, the monetary value of silver was very stable. Moreover, because there was no inflow of large amounts of silver, the appreciation space for silver was large, and it was more valuable than grain. After all, as the world has been peaceful for a long time, the amount of cultivated land and population increased, and the grain output also increased, resulting in the price of grain being lower and lower. Therefore, the full amount of silver for the officers and soldiers was undoubtedly the most willing method of issuing Lumi.

Guo Rong, a hundred household in the Warriors Camp, led Liang Ze and others to see the white silver placed in front of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his eyes were lit. Liang Ze muttered in a low voice: "Brother Rong, Your Majesty is actually going to give us silver!"

Guo Rong also smiled and nodded, and unknowingly, he doubled his favor towards the Ming Emperor and said to himself: "Now this emperor is really a good emperor. Not only do he have to make up for our Lumi, but he also directly paid the silver!"

British Duke Zhang Mao and other noble generals also smiled on their faces, and they all praised: "Your Majesty is more understanding of us military men. The cabinet and the Ministry of War cannot issue rice. Your Majesty will send it himself and he also gets real money and silver, but it is really a great emperor's grace!"

At that time, British Duke Zhang Mao and Minister of War Xu Jin and others came to see Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao ordered them to be included in their own hands.

This was the first time that British Duke Zhang Mao and Xu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao in this way to deliver Lumi to the soldiers. They felt it was fresh and they all straightened their chests.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, under the ardent gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers, shouted with a brass horn:

"Dear soldiers, I am your emperor Zhu Houzhao and your only commander! I heard that the court has not given you rice for three months. Now that the pass is approaching, the weather is getting colder, and many of you are not full or warm in food. I am wrong. You are my soldiers. I should not let you suffer. Here, I apologize to you!"

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao closed her hands and bowed slightly. The audience was extremely quiet for a moment, and everyone looked shocked.

Because no one expected that the Ming Emperor they admired would apologize to them for owing their rice.

But at the same time, Zhu Houzhao's move also moved Xu Jin, the Minister of War on the stage, as well as the military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers under the stage.

Even if Zhu Houzhao didn't give them Lumi at this time, the officers and soldiers could tolerate it even if they failed to give them Lumi for a while.

However, Zhu Houzhao not only apologized but also had to pay the full amount of Lumi or even over-issued Lumi.

"But today I promise you that as long as my Ming Dynasty has not perished, as long as I am still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, your maternity will never be owed again! Today, I will reissue the maternity I owe you, and the full amount. Even in the full amount, you will also send an extra maternity of your maternity as a year-end reward! From now on, at the end of each year, I will send two maternity of maternity for all officers and soldiers at all levels of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he handed the brass loudspeaker to Liu Jin, and then ordered Xu Jin, Minister of War, and said, "Let's start distributing now!"

then.

Xu Jin, the Minister of War, led a group of officials to issue the distribution according to the list, and first summoned the commanders of each battalion, and all the eunuchs in the battalion were summoned to issue the distribution according to the battalion.

The officers and soldiers below were all confused, but they were excited, because they had just heard from their ears that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to reissue their rice in full and it was an extra month, and even these rice were distributed in silver.

You should know that in many cases, the military officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not be paid in full, and it is common for Shangguan to deduct almost any of them. Basically, those who are not deducted are not paid in full, either mixed with treasure money or pepper.

Now Zhu Houzhao is paying full silver and issuing one month extra. All of these officers and soldiers feel that the new emperor is the real good emperor.

I don’t know who shouted first because of excitement: “Long live!”, and everyone started shouting.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

For a moment, the sound of the world trembled.

The commanders of each battalion and the eunuchs in each battalion began to receive the money and distribute it to the officials of thousands of households and hundreds of households under him, and then distribute it in turn.

The emperor was present and the officers were not easy to deduct.

The officers and soldiers present only saw pieces of silver ingots distributed, each with excitement on his face and couldn't help but shout long live.

The monthly salary of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was basically between one stone of rice and two stones of rice. The current price was about one liang of silver and two stones of grain. For four months of rice, each soldier could also get two to four liang of silver, so the officers naturally had more.

Therefore, after the salary is paid, basically every officer and soldier has a solid silver in his hand.

Guo Rong is a sixth-rank family with an annual salary of 120 stones of rice. At this time, he held twenty taels of silver. He suddenly felt that he was much more energetic. He was secretly happy that he could finally have a good horse without selling his own romance, and his family could have a meal.

Liang Ze also had fifteen taels of silver, and instantly felt that he was much more at ease.

Xu Jin, the Minister of War, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Houzhao with gratitude. He was indeed very grateful to his emperor, because if Emperor Zhu Houzhao had not distributed Lumi in time, he, the Minister of War, would have been dismissed because he could not suppress the anger of the officers and soldiers for their lack of Lumi.

British Duke Zhang Mao and other military officials also looked at Zhu Houzhao with great satisfaction, because they felt that His Majesty could personally take out the silver to pay Lumi, which means that they did not forget them, the warriors.

Zhu Houzhao could see that after the release of Lumi, the morale of the officers and soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty capital recovered a lot, and they all began to be convinced of him as the king.

Zhu Houzhao decided to strike while the iron was hot and stimulate the blood and energy of these Ming troops.

It was already evening, and the sun was setting, and the soft golden sunlight just gathered on Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao asked loudly: "My soldiers, are you happy now?"

"Happy!"

"Happy!"

"Happy!"
