Although Abujiji was a high-ranking soldier, he killed several Tartars in the battle of the boundary marker, so he got a lot of rewards, which he could not carry back by himself!

Abujiji excitedly planned to ride back to the tribe on horseback and borrow a cart from the leader Has, but was stopped by Boss Li.

Boss Li rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Are you so happy that you've gone mad? Even if you ride a horse as fast as you can, it will take you half a day to go back and forth! I have a cart at my house, you can take it!"

Abujiji went to get the cart with a smile on his face. The cart was full of distribution items.

At this moment, Abujiji's heart was filled with excitement.

He has always been low-key, but he held his head high. When he met an acquaintance on the road and asked him about it, he would loudly reply: "It was sent by the general! He said I behaved well!"

Along the way, he hoped to walk faster so that he could reach the tribe as soon as possible and let the tribesmen see him.

He also hoped to walk slower so that more passers-by would ask him where these things came from.

Before dark, Abujiji returned to the camp of the Haoriqin tribe.

"Dad!" When Gerlang heard the familiar shout, he immediately rushed out of the tent and ran into Abujiji's arms like a strong calf.

"Dad, why are you back today? Dad, why did you buy so many things? Dad, you actually bought canned fruit!"

Gerlang's series of exclamations attracted the tribesmen to stick their heads out.

Aguduo also came out of the tent and saw the cart full of things. He couldn't help asking, "Abu Riji, did you hide some private money?"

"No! This was sent by the general! It's a New Year's gift!"

"Wow!" When the tribesmen heard that there were benefits, they all came out and asked in unison.

"Does this apply to all soldiers?"

"We grassland people actually have it too?!"

"The people of the Tashi tribe also said that we grassland people went to Yunzhou to serve as soldiers, just to die!"

Abu Riji replied one by one: "Every soldier has one. The more merits you make, the more rewards you get! A bride needs to work harder, not to mention us new soldiers? I only know that the general will not deliberately suppress our military ranks, nor will he withhold our benefits!"

When the tribesmen heard this, they became even more envious.

"Abujiji, are Boss Li and his men recruiting any more soldiers? I'm a very good rider!"

"Abujiji, I can shoot down the eagle from the sky!"

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic self-recommendations of his fellow tribesmen, Abujiji moved most of the things back to the tent, took the 100 kilograms of mutton coupons he had been given, and went to the tent of Chief Has.

"Chief, thank you for taking care of Aguduo and Gerlang during the time I was away from the tribe."

Abujiji respectfully handed the mutton coupon to Has.

Haas rubbed the lamb skewers carefully with his rough palms.

On it is the general's official seal, as red as blood, exuding majesty everywhere!

"Abujiji, use these mutton coupons to exchange for some mutton and invite the tribesmen to have a day of fun together."

Haas likes the tribe’s first warrior very much. He is the person with the brightest future in the tribe!

Abu Riji was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he understood the good intentions of Chief Has: "Okay, thank you, Chief!"

All over Yunzhou City, mutton shops, milk tea shops, and restaurants welcome a large wave of consumers as the year draws to a close.

Mr. Niu was dragged by Mrs. Niu to the Xia family restaurant in Huaishuo Town again.

Lord Niu looked reluctant and muttered, "Why do you have to run so far? It's just that your son got a little bit of money. When I was an official in Kyoto, didn't I get much more than this?!"

Mrs. Niu pretended not to hear anything, while Niu Jinyi followed behind her with a smile.

As soon as we entered the Xia Family Restaurant, Boss Xia came up to us with a smile: "Master Niu, Master Niu, you are here, what would you like to eat today?"

Mrs. Niu took out two five-jin mutton coupons from her purse, cleared her throat, and asked loudly, "Manager Xia, can your family use the mutton coupons?"

Boss Xia took a look and found that it was the official mutton coupon of the Governor's Mansion. "Of course it can be used! It says on the mutton roll that one catty of mutton is 40 wen. One coupon is for five catties, which is equivalent to two hundred wen. Lord Niu, Madam Niu, one coupon should be enough for the three of you."

Mrs. Niu took back a mutton coupon and said, "Then serve us the food for two hundred coins."

"Okay, you guys take a seat first, I'll be right there!"

Lord Niu had a stern face and looked quite unhappy.

The people at the next table were still discussing it enviously.

"Life in Yunzhou is getting better and better! My neighbor's family served as soldiers guarding the city in Woye Town. They owed him three years' wages, and their family was extremely poor. This year, not only did they make up for the wages they owed, but they also gave him so many things! He is also a kind-hearted person. He used to eat and drink for free at the old lady on the street. As soon as he got the wages, he gave the old lady 500 coins and three cans of food!"

"I heard that everyone from the county magistrate to the soldiers was given gifts this year!"

"Alas, these days, you should either join the army or study and become an official, then life will be better!"

"Stop talking sour! Didn't you make more money than welfare this year by traveling along the Shuozhou trade route?!"

"How can this be the same? This is not about money! It's about appearance!"

"Look at the table next to us, they're offering five pounds of mutton coupons!"

Mrs. Niu listened to the envy of the people around her, and the corners of her mouth curled up, unable to suppress it no matter how hard she tried: "My son is really capable!"

"This is all thanks to the general. Thanks to the general!"

Niu Jinyi touched his head in embarrassment, but he was extremely proud in his heart. Yunzhou had developed from nothing to the current peace and stability, and his own efforts had played a role in this!

Lord Niu felt jealous. When he was in Kyoto, all the things he distributed were delivered by cart, and he never saw his wife so happy!

Lord Niu coughed heavily and said in a sarcastic tone: "The general is so stingy, and you are still grateful to her!"

Madam Niu pinched Lord Niu's thigh and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

The people around also listened attentively, looking at Lord Niu with unfriendly eyes, as if they were saying that if Lord Niu couldn't explain the situation clearly, he would not be able to leave the restaurant.

Lord Niu was a little panicked, but he was very firm in his words: "If the general really wants to help, why not just give out money instead of coupons? Or coupons that are only good for three months!"

"Why?"

Lord Niu: "Because she wants to promote the circulation of money! If they give out money, most people will save the money. But it's different if they give out coupons! Officials and soldiers take the coupons to buy things at mutton shops, clothing shops, and canneries. Part of the money will go back to the general through the wool factory and cannery. Part of it will circulate on the market!"

"The money from the cannery is like money flowing from one hand to the other. When it flows to the market, the small vendors make money and naturally start preparing for the New Year!"

Lord Niu summarized: "First, win over the hearts of the people below. Second, guide the consumption direction of Yunzhou and promote consumption so that Yunzhou's economy will not stagnate in the winter. Third, attract business to the wool factory and canning factory! Fourth, ..."

Before Mr. Niu finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the restaurant.

"As expected of a great general, he is so proficient in economics!"

"How lucky Yunzhou is to have such a chief officer!!"

Mr. Niu was dumbfounded. Are these people crazy? Don’t they think that Gu Nanxi is stingy for being so cunning when distributing benefits? !
