217 Perfunctory

Although Xu Wenbo and other soldiers of the former Ma Shilong had been reorganized into the Beijing camp, they were still staying in the original camp at this time and also acting with other camps.

In winter, the bed is warmer and there is no war. The senior generals are not here, and no one wants to get up early. In addition, it is New Year's Eve today, and I feel a little regretful that my family members from afar cannot celebrate the New Year together.

Under such circumstances, many people were moved by the urging of the Jinyiwei Captain. But when they heard the Jinyiwei Captain said that the emperor would be on the way this morning, they lost all their emotions. They suddenly became energetic and their movements became much more nimble.

In the end, the gathering speed of Wang Dajun outside the city was much faster than expected. Shen Yongmao, Minister of War and Bi Ziyan, Minister of Revenue, were a little surprised when they saw it, and sighed in their hearts that these soldiers seemed to have changed.

Xu Wenbo and other soldiers were also a little surprised to see that there were two high-ranking officials in blazing robes on the temporary platform. Judging from the time, these two high-ranking officials probably got up before dawn!

In addition, they were also a little puzzled. It is understandable that the army gathered around the platform. After all, the emperor basically wanted to give a lecture. But there were tables in front of the platform, and why were there many people busy there?

Even if the soldiers from the Beijing Camp and the Imperial Horse Supervisor were under martial law and isolated them into square formations according to their respective belongings, they couldn't help but whispering, guessing what kind of dragon gate formation was being placed?

Xu Wenbo did not participate in the speculation, but was just observing the situation on the platform. He suddenly found that someone was coming again, as if the Jinyiwei School Captain and the Dongchang Army were escorting several big trucks. When the two high-ranking officials saw it, they immediately sent people to greet him, and then moved boxes with seals from the big trucks.

This is a reward! Xu Wenbo and others guessed what this was at once, and they couldn't help but feel happy. They even stopped whispering spontaneously and looked forward to it.

Sure enough, after a while on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, the two officials in the blazing robe spoke, one was the Minister of War and the other was the Minister of Revenue, a very big official!

The soldiers of the King's Army quickly lined up to collect the things. The expectation of the unrequited collection and the surprise of the receiving. This made Xu Wenbo even more curious. What was that?

When it was his turn to report his name, he saw the bookkeeper behind the table quickly checking a booklet and asking him to press his handprints. The other person next to him took out sheets of paper from the small boxes and handed it to him. At the same time, he repeated mechanically: "A total of three taels, eight coins, eight articles, and eight pieces."

"What?" Xu Wenbo was surprised, and asked curiously, just like the person ahead of him.

However, the man ignored him and just urged him to leave quickly: "Next, the emperor will arrive, don't delay!"

Xu Wenbo was a little depressed, but he didn't dare to stand there, so he had to turn around and look at the paper in his hand at the same time.

Like everyone else, he was illiterate, but he recognized that the paper had copper coins and silver patterns printed on it. But he still didn't know what the paper was?

After he returned to his position, he heard that his comrades had already been whispering to discuss. After listening, he found that they didn't know what the paper in their hands meant. It just looked good and printed like a painting. If he went home and framed it or posted it on the door, he might be able to paint it back then. However, the court was really stingy, which was too small. No wonder he gave eight pictures at a time!

As more and more soldiers were receiving paper, finally, literate people received the paper and recognized what paper was written on it.

"The Ming Dynasty banknotes...one penny...two cents...one liang...what is this Ming Dynasty banknote? Could it be the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?"

The Ming Dynasty Baochao was discontinued during the Zhengde period. Of course, these lower-level soldiers from the late Ming Dynasty had never seen them, and they had long forgotten them. When they were given the first one, they did not recall it. It was because of the different names and the styles were different from those in the legend. It took a long time before they guessed it.

"What, is the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?" Xu Wenbo was surprised when he heard a comrade nearby say this, "What does the imperial court mean? Could it be that just using the treasure banknotes to perfunctory us?"

The others basically reacted like him. After being surprised, they became angry: "I worked hard and even fooled me with worthless treasure money. It's really better not to give it to me!"

"Yes, what kind of bird is used for Baochao? This must be the idea of ​​a treacherous minister!" Someone said dissatisfied.

“…”

It is possible that the court had already guessed that these soldiers would be dissatisfied, so teams of Jinyiwei and Dongchang military officers entered the King's Army to inspect. When they saw any movement, they immediately went over and scolded them loudly, and ordered quiet and not to make noise!

The reputation of the factory guards is not worthy. Although Xu Wenbo and others were very dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute it on the spot. In fact, even if they refute, could the factory guards make the decision to change or return the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?

They had no choice but to look forward to the emperor's arrival and whether to sue the emperor in front of the emperor. After all, the emperor is different from the previous emperor. This is really considering these soldiers. The Ming Zhonglie Hall and treatment are proof!

Shen Yongmao and Bi Ziyan watched all this on the stage, looking at the noise one after another, and couldn't help but look at each other and shake their heads. It can be seen that these soldiers are very resistant to banknotes. When they turn back, they can exchange silver liang, but they won't change it immediately. What they are doing now is really in vain!

Although I prepared in advance, I also divided up many queues to collect banknotes, but it took nearly 100,000 troops to complete the distribution of banknotes.

The winter is getting higher and higher, and a small number of soldiers of the royal army have not received the banknotes, but they see movements coming from Deshengmen, and the emperor is here!

Xu Wenbo turned his head and looked at him a little surprised that in the cold winter, the emperor did not sit on a carriage, but came on a horse wearing a golden helmet and armor. Behind him were senior generals of various royal army commanders.

After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but admire the emperor. After all, the emperor is the most noble person in the world, but he is not spoiled at all. In this kind of weather, he actually came with armor and horses, like a man!

The good feelings accumulated before and the impression at this time made Xu Wenbo and others more sure that the emperor was a good emperor, but only with treacherous ministers in charge, they received the useless Daming treasure money. Maybe they would be greedy for the silver rewards.

The army was a little turbulent, but there were factory guards watching him beside him, so no accident happened. When the emperor arrived, everyone greeted him and shouted long live the mountain.

Hu Guang reached out to signal to flatten his body, and almost blurted out a word. At this time, he was in a good mood. There was no reason. As he walked over, the system's prompts continued and never stopped.

This proves one thing: not only should a person be handsome, but also needs to have the right outfit. Although he is a little cold, he will gain a lot!
