The rise of the poor

Chapter 1218 Rewarding Silver

"Fathers and folks, I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense, and now I will start giving out silver rewards."

Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to everyone, and directly entered the link that everyone was most looking forward to, distributing rewards.

The county magistrate is really going to give out rewards, hehe, the excited and happy mouths of all the people in the audience are almost grinning to the ears.Can you not be excited, everyone who goes up to defend the city wall will receive at least ten taels of silver, which is a huge sum of money.

"Wang Zandian, Liu Dianli, Qian Dianli, Zhang Dianli, let's start distributing rewards." Zhu Pingan said to the newly appointed Zandian Wang Xiucai, Household Dianli Liu Fuzi, warehouse Dian Mr. Qian, and warehouse Dian Mr. Zhang said.

"Obey." Wang Xiucai and others accepted the order.

"Fathers and folks, the rewards are starting to be distributed now. Anyone who I can read the name will come up to verify the identity. If the identity verification is correct, the corresponding bounty can be taken away. Don't worry, don't worry, the money is in advance. The ones that have been calculated are enough, everyone has them, read a name, and one will come up. Those who have not read their names will wait in peace below, don’t worry, no one will be left behind.”

Master Liu stood on the stage and said to the people below the stage, and the yamen servant in charge of maintaining order repeated his words loudly.

The people in the audience heard clearly and agreed one after another, very cooperative.

"Okay, let's start now. Liu Erniu of Qiaobao Village, who bravely defended the city and continued to fight despite his back injury, will be rewarded with 26 taels of silver." Master Liu took out a thick roll of credit from his arms, and read aloud .

The yamen servants repeated Master Liu's words loudly, so that the common people could hear them clearly.

"Come on, come on, I'm Liu Erniu."

Liu Erniu was the first in the crowd to hear his name, and he couldn't help raising his arms excitedly. Looking at the envious and admiring eyes of everyone, Liu Erniu enjoyed it so much that his chin almost went up to the sky. Like a victorious general, he squeezed out of the crowd, walking a little unsteadily.

"What a man!"

"Two bulls, two bulls, you are the best!"

"Great my cow!"

"Has the good man married a wife? My father has a daughter who is eighteen years old. She is a perfect match for you."

Wherever Liu Erniu passed by, people would automatically make way for him, with hot eyes and full of praise. There was even an old man who fell in love with Liu Erniu and wanted to betroth his youngest daughter to Liu Erniu. Cattle.

Hearing everyone's compliments, Liu Erniu felt like he was about to float up. Speaking of which, Liu Erniu felt a little conflicted. He wanted to go on stage to receive the award sooner, but also wanted to walk slowly and enjoy more time. The fiery eyes and words of praise from the audience.This was the most showy moment in his life, Liu Erniu, not one of them.

"Liu Erniu, Gouyue, what are you dawdling about, why don't you hurry up and get the reward, we're still waiting."

While Liu Erniu was enjoying it, some people who had also participated in the Anti-Japanese War couldn't help laughing and scolding him and urged him to quickly receive the reward.

Being beaten by humanity, Liu Erniu couldn't enjoy it any longer, scratched his head resentfully, and walked quickly to the stage with a naive smile.

"Huh? Is it wrong?! Shouldn't a reward of 20 taels of silver be given?! The county lord issued a heavy reward order before the battle. Regardless of whether the army or civilians bravely defend the city, they will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, and those who are wounded will be rewarded with an additional 26 taels of silver. Liu Er Niu Yong can get ten taels of silver for defending the city, and another ten taels of silver for being injured. After this, shouldn’t Liu Erniu be rewarded with [-] taels of silver?! How can the county honor give Liu Erniu [-] taels of silver? ?!"

"That's right, the magistrate made a mistake, right?!"

At this time, someone noticed that there was a problem with the amount of silver reward given to Liu Erniu, and he couldn't help but reminded him aloud.

"Ahem, folks, there is nothing wrong with rewarding the silver. Because the Holy Majesty doubled the reward for killing Japanese in Jingnan, the county lord decided to distribute the extra silver to everyone according to the number of people. You can get an extra six taels of silver."

After hearing people questioning the amount of reward, Mr. Liu coughed and stroked his beard to explain to everyone.

what? !

The county magistrate not only had to fulfill his promise to pay out the reward silver according to the original heavy reward order, but also took the initiative to distribute all the extra reward silver to everyone? !Is the county gentleman stupid? !Why do you take the initiative to give everyone more money! ?

Everyone can receive six taels of silver more than expected, which is nearly 2 taels of silver.

Isn't it good for him to buy ribs with this money? !

God, we have lived for so many years, and this is the first time we have seen such a money-loving county official! !

In the past, any of the county officials in Jingnan, who didn't try their best to draw money into their own pockets!Exorbitant taxation, ingenious establishment of gates, what is four-two flat, what is kicked, what is folded and burned, and money is pulled. There are so many tricks for days and nights that I can't finish it.The county officials in other places are also the same!It is unheard of for someone like our county priest to take the initiative to distribute money to everyone, and this is the first time.

The common people in the audience were all stunned, unbelievable, and shouted excitedly Lord Zhu Pingan Qingtian, feeling that their ancestral graves were filled with smoke, and they met such a good county magistrate.But it's a pity, I heard that the county magistrate has been promoted to be the procurator and inspector, and now he is temporarily magistrate.

When everyone was feeling emotional, Wang Xiucai on the stage had already verified Liu Erniu's identity, and he was sure that it was correct. Mr. Qian at the side counted two twelve big ingots from the box and scattered the silver ingots, and handed them over to him. Liu Erniu.

After Liu Erniu received the reward, he still felt unreal, suspected that he was dreaming, and pinched his arm hard. The pain made the corners of his mouth almost reach his ears, hehe, it hurts, it's so good, it's not a dream.

"Liu Erniu, count the number and confirm that the reward amount is correct, sign here, or press your thumbprint, and you can go down."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but smiled, and tapped the silver reward booklet on the table to remind Liu Erniu.

After all, there are more than 2000 people waiting to receive the reward.This is not a small amount, and there must be no delay.

"Enough, enough."

Liu Erniu counted it again, giggled silly, stepped forward to press a handprint, and went down grinning.

"Zhang Iron Lock"

Liu Fuzi followed the credit book and continued to read.

The distribution of reward silver was carried out in an orderly manner, and people's emotions were very high, and it lasted for a long time before the distribution was completed.Those who died in the city guards were also collected by their family members. The huge amount of silver rewards allowed the common people who lost their relatives to receive real pensions, old people's pensions, child rearing, etc., are also guaranteed.These silver rewards also comfort the spirits of the victims in heaven.
