Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Oh, that's it, then forget it." Li Zhen looked disappointed, but she didn't expect Xue Rengui to make a marriage with Liu's daughter.

"However, in this way, I have to prepare rewards for you again, troublesome." Li Zhen has always been generous to his subordinates. This time, the three of them have made such a great contribution, so they must be rewarded heavily. Of course gold and silver are needed, but one of the most important rewards is missing, which is troublesome.

"Your Highness, don't be so troublesome. It's enough for you to reward your subordinates with a little reward of one hundred thousand guan. Other subordinates don't want it." Du He said with a face full of money. He is a second-generation super official who spends money. He has always been extravagant, not only will he spend all his monthly money, but he will also owe a large amount of foreign debt.Now that he has changed his mind, these debts have become his biggest worry, but as a middle-level officer, how much military salary can he have?Even if you don't eat or drink, if you want to pay off your foreign debts, it will take three to five years.

"Wo Cao, a hundred thousand yuan, Du Er, you are really greedy, aren't you afraid that so much money will smash you to death?" Fang Yiai teased, and said to Li Zhen with a flattering face: "Your Highness, in fact, you belong to I also mean the same thing, but my subordinates don’t need money. Can you buy some seventy or eighty sets of armor for my subordinates? Mingguang armor is the best. My father is too picky. After I went out, he just gave me a The pair of scale armor, that Mo Dao was given by my mother, now I have the Qinglong Yanyue Dao, I have no shortage of weapons, but I need good armor, you see"

"Wo Cao, Fang Er, Fang Er, you are really dark enough, and you still have seventy or eighty pairs of armor? Have you worn out all these armors? You are not going to take them out and sell them?" I was laughed at Du He was naturally not to be outdone, and made fun of Fang Yiai.

"Tch, can you control it?" Fang Yi felt guilty, he actually had such a plan.

Li Zhen didn't agree or not to Fang Du's request, but asked Xue Rengui, "What about you, Rengui, do you want anything?"

"In fact, this subordinate also has a small request." Xue Rengui was not polite, and said: "The father of this subordinate died early, and his family was poor since childhood, with little food and clothing. Your Majesty, I have no other requirements, I just hope that His Highness can reward my subordinates with more land and fields, so that my subordinates can also repay the neighbors."

"Oh? You mean, are you going to give these properties to your neighbors?" Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked strangely.

"Yes." Xue Rengui knew that his actions were a little disrespectful, and he was afraid that Li Zhen would disagree, so he hurriedly said: "If this action is not in compliance with the rules, please ask your highness to reward you with some money, and you can buy it yourself."

"Good, good, good, very good." Li Zhen laughed suddenly, looking at Xue Rengui who was anxious: "What a caring and righteous Xue Rengui, since you are caring and righteous, how can this king be such a villain? Just stand up and listen .”

"Yes."

With a solemn face and a low voice, Li Zhen announced: "Mingwei Captain Xue Shizi Li, joined the army at a young age, conscientious, courageous and resourceful, led two thousand elites in the battle against the Turks, ran for thousands of miles, and captured Jieli alive. , moreover, he is affectionate and righteous, and he will not forget his old neighbors when he succeeds. Vice, a thousand-mile horse, above."

"" Xue Rengui and the three of them suddenly had black lines all over their heads. What they said earlier was very good, but what the hell are you above that?Did our Datang end with this word?

"Xue Rengui, you are so rude, don't you want to thank you quickly?" Li Ergou on the side saw Xue Rengui stunned. Although he didn't know why he was stunned, he still kindly reminded him.

"Oh, my subordinate Xue Rengui, thank you for your kindness." Xue Rengui also realized that no matter what the above is, it is necessary to thank you right now.

"Get up." Li Zhen was actually stunned. He didn't expect that at the end, his mouth went bald and he used the nouns of later generations. He was so embarrassed at that time, but fortunately, Li Ergou was in time. Open your mouth and give him a step down, otherwise you may not know how to finish it.

Chapter 157 On the Rewards for Deeds

Chapter 83 On Rewards for Merit

"As for the two of you." Li Zhen looked at Fang and Du who were eagerly looking at her, amused in her heart, but she didn't want to save their face, she pondered for a while and said: "I naturally agree with your wish, Fang Yiai Come forward to receive the reward."

"Fenwei Captain Fang's Zijun, brave and good at fighting, was able to capture tigers. In the first battle of the Turks, he ran for thousands of miles and captured Jieli himself. He made outstanding achievements. He was specially rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, ten pairs of armor, and a treasured sword. A pair of soft armor and a thousand-mile horse are considered rewards."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Fang Yi was heartily happy. These ten sets of armor are definitely not enough for him to wear, but he can sell them. Anyway, there are not many other things in Chang'an City, but there are many generals. As long as these armors It's probably good to have Mingguang armor, and you don't have to worry about no one wanting it.

"Pingwei Colonel Du Shi Zihe, calm and calm, unparalleled in wisdom and tactics. During the Turkic War, he sat in the rear, strategized, and made great achievements. He is specially awarded 500 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver. The first house and a thousand-mile horse are rewards."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Du He wanted to be very excited, thinking that he finally had money.If Li Zhenguang's rewards were all converted into money, it would be nearly [-] guan. The money alone was enough for him to pay off his debts, and he could even keep more than half of it.As for the house, he was even more excited. With the house, even if Du Ruhui disagreed with him and Lan Die, he could move out and live with Lan Die, which relieved his worries.

In fact, the rewards received by the three people are about the same when converted into money (Xue Rengui's may be higher, but he is the commander of this operation after all, so there is nothing wrong with getting a little more), but the form of giving is different.

"Okay, you've got my reward, so hurry up and get out of here, by the way, if someone asks about my reward, you can't tell the truth." Li Zhen was about to drive them away when she suddenly remembered something. Their rewards are not insignificant.If these rewards are known to others, it will add trouble to Li Shimin—your son has rewarded his subordinates with 2 taels of silver. As a father and emperor, you can't give less than this, right?But if you give so many rewards to the three captains, how much should you give to Li Jing, who is the commander of the Sixth Route Army, and the respective commanders and deputy commanders of the Sixth Route Army?

Now that the standards of rewards for the Chief and Deputy Chiefs have been increased, shouldn't the rewards for the generals in the army and those who have made military exploits also increase?

This time the reward is so high, so shall we follow this rule next time?

In this way, it may increase the rewards of the entire Datang military exploits by a whole lot, and it will also add greater pressure to the entire Datang's finances-the early days of the Tang Dynasty were not rich, although the grain output was still large. That's true, but it's not just talking about cheap grain hurting farmers.In the agriculture-oriented Tang Dynasty, if there was too much food to sell, the tax revenue would naturally not increase, and if the tax revenue did not increase, where would the country get the money?

"This subordinate knows, we will keep it a secret." Du He also thought of this, and quickly agreed.

"But Your Highness, you don't plan to reward the three of us only, do you?" Fang Yiai quickly asked, "What do you plan to do with the brothers who went out with us and the brothers of the Blood Dragon Guard?"

Xue Rengui also figured it out, and quickly said: "Yes, Your Highness, the Blood Dragon Guard has also put in a lot of effort. It can be said that half of the credit for being able to catch Xieli this time can be accounted for by the Blood Dragon Guard. You can’t treat a meritorious minister badly.”

"Blood Dragon Guard's achievements will be rewarded by them internally, so don't worry about that." Li Zhen said with a smile: "As for the people below, you don't have to worry about this, although you can't reward too much on the surface, you can secretly The Blood Dragon Guard will compensate them, you can rest assured that I have always rewarded those who have made merit."

"It's my subordinates who are overwhelmed, please ask Your Highness to make amends."

"Nothing, it's human nature."

"By the way, Your Highness, what are you going to do about Xie Li?" After this incident was over, Fang Yiai asked about Xie Li again: "You don't really plan to torture him, do you? He is the head of a country after all." My lord, our Great Tang built our country on the basis of benevolence and filial piety, if we leave any scars, I am afraid they will be caught and complained about."

Li Zhen waved his hand: "Don't worry about that, I'm not stupid enough to hit him directly."

"But speaking of it, Xieli was brought back. I haven't seen him yet. Do you want to meet him now?" Li Zhen originally wanted to let Xieli go first, but changed her mind at this time.

"This is definitely not a problem." Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will receive a subjugated king, and no one can say anything."

Li Zhen said decisively: "Then see you, but not here."

Fang Yiai asked strangely: "Where does His Highness plan to meet him?"

"You guys do this," Li Zhen ordered in a low voice, "Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Fang Yiai scratched her head and said distressedly, "But please forgive me for being blunt, I really can't figure out what this matter has to do with Jian Jieli."

"You will know this in a while." Li Zhen waved his hand: "You just need to do what I say."

"Yes." I didn't understand what Li Zhen was doing, but everyone went to carry out his task honestly.

"Let's go too, the timing for Jieli is a big hole, and it's time to use it." After the three left, Li Zhen was also ready to leave.

"Your Highness, this big pit is not intended to bury Xieli alive, is it?" Li Ergou guessed.

"Slap!" Before Li Zhen moved, Wang Jin slapped him down with a slap: "Li Ergou, Li Ergou, when did you become so stupid? It's just a Xieli. If His Highness wants to bury him, use Can he get such a big hole? How much space can he occupy?"

"You are an idiot." Li Ergou refused to admit defeat and replied, "Jieli is a khan after all, even if he died, he must be buried with him, right?"

"You don't believe me when I say you're an idiot." Rubbing his forehead with one hand, he kicked Li Ergou's ass at the same time: "Have you ever seen a martyr who was buried with the owner of the tomb?"

"" The two of them were fighting and arguing like this, leaving only Li Zhen and the guards in a mess, what the hell is the point of your talk?

"Don't worry about these two idiots, let's go first." Looking at the two people who were arguing together, Li Zhen ordered decisively.

So, a group of people ignored the two of them and escorted Li Zhen to go to Dakeng.

Dakeng arrived soon, and together with Li Zhen came five thousand elites temporarily transferred—after several days of waiting, the follow-up army finally arrived, and the Datong Army and Tongmo Army who were closer to Dingxiang When the army converged, the manpower in the camp was very sufficient at this time, at least it was very easy for Li Zhen to mobilize thousands of people.

It's just that such a large-scale manpower transfer, it is naturally impossible to bypass Li Jing as the chief executive, but in order to find out Li Zhen's intentions, he still happily signed the transfer order.

Under Li Zhen's command, just as the army was in position, Xue Rengui also led an army of [-] and brought [-] prisoners.
