Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty On Rewards for Merit
After the autopsy was over, no one had any objections to the autopsy results, nor did anyone have any questions about the decision of King Xiyang. Both parties involved registered relevant information at Gongcao's office so that they could reward merits in the future.
These days, it is common to receive rewards by taking credit for money, so Gongcao not only records the names of the participants in their respective teams, but also requires the other party to press the handprint at their own name at one time. They must press the handprint, and finally count it into a book and report it to the court, and the court decides the reward amount.
As for when the credit can be fulfilled, it will be "hehe".
In the war between the East and West Wei, Gao Aocao, a famous general from the Eastern Wei Dynasty, was imprisoned by his own people, and later killed the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty. After this soldier made great contributions, he deserved to have tens of thousands of pieces of cloth and silk. During the implementation, the Western Wei/Zhou court fulfilled some every year.
As a result, the soldier received the reward for more than 40 years, but the reward was not finished in the second year of the elephant.
Yang Jian, who had become a veteran in the Sui Dynasty, had no need to think about the rewards. As for whether Zhou would continue to give rewards to the veteran after destroying the Sui Dynasty, it is unknown.
When it comes to merit, if it is a small merit, the commander can fulfill it. If it involves great merit, it requires a large amount of food, money or land, and it is approved by the court. If it involves promotion of officials and titles, it will be even more troublesome if it increases fief.
The so-called "gratitude comes from superiority", this "higher" is not only the emperor who is arrogant, but also sometimes the imperial court.
If the rewards and punishments of soldiers are decided by the commander, then for the emperor or the court, it means that the army is basically out of control, but the commander's private soldiers are absolutely unreliable.
The army under Yuwen Wen's command was not his private soldiers, so the big rewards had to be decided by the court.
However, it is hard to say whether the rewards can be paid in time except for official positions and titles. Just like the Western Wei soldier who killed Gao Aocao should have 10,000 pieces of cloth and silk, but he didn't finish it after receiving it for 40 years.
In this regard, Yuwen Wen felt deeply malicious.
The "in installment" of 250 pieces of cloth and silk in a year should be paid for this 10,000 pieces in 40 years. Can the court not take out 250 pieces of cloth and silk in a year?
It is okay to take it out, and reward the powerful and generals who lead troops, each person will have hundreds or thousands of horses at a time. As for the soldiers who have no power, haha, wait slowly, and you won’t send them out!
Yuwen Wen couldn't do such a thing. Although he could not promise any "heavy reward" to the soldiers of the two teams in front of him, and even more impossible to promise what kind of official position and title they would be awarded, he could still do it immediately to fulfill the small reward.
Cloth can be regarded as hard currency in this era, but for the hydrotextile workshops in Huangzhou, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, the production of cloth is not a problem. Yuwen Wen's army has sufficient cloth supply and strong purchasing power.
Whether it is purchasing food from the people around the garrison, chickens, ducks, geese, or various agricultural products, the government army pays with solid cloth, and the small rewards given to the soldiers are also cloth.
Therefore, as the backer of Huangzhou's textile industry, Yu Wenwen can easily fulfill a small reward.
During this pursuit, each soldier would have 100 Huangzhou cloth and about twenty coins of copper coins to ambushes of an ordinary family. He would receive the savings from the quarantine in three days.
The army under Yuwen Wen's command has a strong ability to fulfill small rewards. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the entire army are full of fighting spirit. Those barbarians who assist in the war can get benefits immediately after making contributions. In addition, they have received strict training and participated in actual combat many times, and their combat effectiveness has increased rapidly.
Following the team of King Xiyang, you will most likely be able to win a battle; as long as you make military achievements, you will definitely receive rewards. This is the credit established by Yuwen Wen, which gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There are two forms of rewards he issued, one is physical goods and the other is "circulation coupons", and this time it is the same.
Faced with the two forms of reward distribution, the two teams have different choices. Lu Wuji and others of course need physical objects, because only by holding physical objects, that is, cloth, can they feel at ease, while most Han's troops choose "circulation coupons".
If you choose circulation coupons, you can get it tomorrow. Although a piece of paper is light, it can be regarded as real cloth - the premise is in Xiyang, Huangzhou.
One hundred pieces of cloth are of great weight. Now that we are fighting, we are a burden when we march, and how heavy can a piece of paper be?
Yuwen Wen was a little surprised by this choice. He never thought that the credibility of the circulation coupon could be recognized by "outsiders".
Looking at the young man, Yuwen Wen asked interestingly: "Do you dare to use circulation coupons?"
Li Jing replied: "When you go back to the king, of course you dare to use it. Since all the comrades in Huangzhou have all used circulation coupons to buy things in the military city, there will definitely be no problem."
The military city is a market that is open in or near the military camp. The soldiers can buy various daily necessities or snacks here. Although the existence of the military city has a negative effect on military camp management, it has many benefits.
In order to promote "Huangzhou small commodities" and drive the business of Huangzhou merchants, Yuwen Wen will naturally open military cities in the army, strictly manage them, and use circulation coupons. Li Jing has long observed the operation of military cities, so he thinks it would be very convenient to use circulation coupons.
One hundred pieces of cloth, twenty stagnant of copper coins, was not a huge sum of money for him, and he couldn't take it home, so it would be better to spend it in the army, buy some ham, sausage and meals, or buy some daily necessities, which is always good.
Yuwen Wen still had a lot of things to be busy with and had no time to waste. He signaled the military officers to clean up Hou Mo Chenqiong's body and remove the foot barrier. Everyone was about to disperse, but they saw several people coming towards him. The first one was the marching chief Han Qinhu.
Han Qinhu was busy with troops in the battle all night, and finally waited until the overall situation was settled. He took the time to take a nap, but listened to the troops who came to report that Sanlangjun and others had made trouble in the Central Military Affairs Office in order to compete for merit.
Han Qinhu was worried that his fierce nephew would run into the King of Xiyang and might be in trouble, so he rushed over to save the scene.
As soon as he came over, Han Qinhu was much more convinced when he saw that his nephew was fine, but he still had to say what he should say. He came to Yuwen Wen and bowed to him and apologized: "King, the subordinates are not strict in their ruthless words, and they will collide with the king. Please punish them."
Yuwen Wen smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Han, presided over justice and evaluated military merits. It was originally the responsibility of the commander of the army. How could there be a collision?"
"So...is this Hou Mo Chen...Qiong?" Han Qinhu saw the corpse that the military officers were dealing with. After seeing the deceased's face, he found that it was an old acquaintance Hou Mo Chenqiong.
Both of them were Wuxun of the Western Wei/Zhou Kingdom and had worked together many times. Han Qinhu was a little sad when he saw the body of his old friend Hou Mo Chenqiong.
"Yes, the enemy commander was defeated and died of poison at the end of his journey." Yuwen Wen said calmly, looked at the body, and then looked at Han Qinhu:
"Han Gong's troops are really good. It is a good way to chase Hou Mo Chenqiong with hundreds of cavalry and force the other party to desperate end."
Han Qinhu didn't know the whole story, so he could only answer vaguely: "Ah... the king is too proud, they are all uneasy boys..."
"No, no, why should Mr. Han be so humble?" Yuwen Wen looked behind Han Qinhu and looked at the young man, "Now the court is in the process of hiring people. The emperor is eager to seek talent. Why don't Mr. Han recommend Ying Yan's talent? I will promote him in advance and let them fight for the emperor?"
I recommend the unspoken rules and recruit the people you recommend. Then the time is right in the future, and you will definitely recommend it. Recruit the people I recommend, so-called "mutual benefit".
Letting more children and confidants enter the system to become officials will benefit all forces or the system itself, and it is a joy to everyone.
Of course there are disadvantages, but this is the unspoken rule in the officialdom today. Yu Wenwen cannot avoid the vulgarity. Although he has another idea in his heart, he cannot express it directly. This will be regarded as an alien.
Of course, Han Qinhu understood what Yuwen Wen said, which was good. He really wanted several outstanding divisions to have the opportunity to enter the officialdom. Now, his nephew Li Jing's chance to enter the officialdom has also come.
Then he signaled to Li Jing and several parts: "Sanlang, and you guys! Come here!"
When Han Qinhu is so good-minded, Yuwen Wen is naturally generous. This opportunity to win people's hearts cannot be missed.
As the marshal of the Southeast Dao, he certainly has the power to recruit subordinate officials and appoint official positions/military positions within a certain rank. In terms of merit and rewards, and promoting outstanding soldiers on the front line is also a great magic weapon to boost morale.
Yuwen Wen was quite satisfied when he saw that young man with strange ideas among Han Qinhu's recommended candidates.
After patting the other party's shoulder, Yuwen Wen smiled and said, "If you don't have a hundred cavalry, you can earn three hundred enemy cavalry to deal with the situation, be bold and careful. You have performed well! Are you willing to serve the country?"
