The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 213 Rewarding the Three Armies
"Suddenly like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloom." After Zhang Wu got up in the morning and opened the door, he saw the thick snow in the yard and the branches of the trees were covered with a layer. He couldn't help but think of this. poem.

"Master, I will help you change your clothes and wash your hands." Zhang Wu's wife, Ma Shi, said.

"No need, it's very cold, you can lie down with the child for a while, I'll go to work. You were tired last night too, so rest more." Zhang Wu looked back at his wife with a half-smile and said.

After hearing Zhang Wu's words, Ma Wei recalled what happened last night, and couldn't help but blushed again, and her heart beat faster. She was tossed about most of the night last night, and now she can't get out of bed.

"Master, you, you are so bad!"

"Hahahaha, then you said you liked it very much last night!"

"You, you, don't say it!" Ma Wei shyly covered her face with the quilt.

At this time, a maid came to help Zhang Wu change his clothes and wash his hands. Then Zhang Wu came to the lobby of the front yard and asked the relevant officials to ask how the cold protection work was going after the winter, whether there were any snow disasters in various places, and whether people died of freezing. .

In this era, although the customs of the New Year are quite different from those of later generations, some customs are still similar.

For example, on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, sacrifices to the Kitchen God are made.The Kitchen God is responsible for eating. This is a very important god, because "food is the paramount necessity of the people".

After sacrificing the Kitchen God, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month has to clean the house, which is the big cleaning. This is the last thing Zhang Wu wants to do before, because on this day, he has to dig out every corner of the house, and he has to help his mother clean the greasy kitchen. clean up.

I don't know how the parents on the other side are doing, and I don't know whether he is traveling through time or a parallel universe. Anyway, he will never go back.

In this era, there is no such thing as "Celebrating the New Year", and "Spring Festival" only refers to the day of "Lichun" in the 24 solar terms.

The "Spring Festival" of later generations was called "Three Dynasties", "Sui Dan" or "Zhengdan" in the Han Dynasty. It is the first day of the new year, which is the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar.

On this day, Zhang Wu ordered to reward the three armies and all civil and military officials.

If there is money in this bag, it will be more generous when talking and doing things. Zhang Wu rewarded Chen Sun and Gan Ning with 1000 million yuan each, and gave Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Ding Feng, and Liu Pan five. The generals were rewarded with 500 million yuan each, Feng Xi, Fu Xun and other generals were rewarded with 300 million yuan each, and the rest of the generals were rewarded to the captains and school lieutenants in the army.

As for the civil servants, both Ni Heng and Hua Tuo received 500 million yuan, and the rest of the officers who joined the army at the Dudu Mansion or the Zhennan General’s Mansion all received 300 million yuan. wait.

Kuai Yue was granted the rank of General Zhennan and was rewarded with 500 million coins together with Pang Tong and Xu Shu.Of course, the families of Pang Tong and Kuai Yue made a fortune by printing and selling books, which is not short of this money, but this represents the importance and trust of the governor.

Because Xu Shu came from a poor family, he had no family influence, but as the first military adviser to join Zhang Wu, he was rewarded with a mansion and many properties by Zhang Wu. Now the Xu family is also one of the most powerful families in Jingzhou.

Xu Shu is now very prosperous, the so-called rich has distant relatives in the mountains, those relatives from his hometown who had never been in contact with each other came to seek refuge one after another, and some friends from the time when he was a ranger also came to seek refuge.Xu Shu also knew that it was impossible to completely abandon the clan in this era, so he also selected some honest and reliable people to help manage some industries, and selected some bold and clever people to be in charge of the Xu family's external business dealings.

Those former little friends were recommended by Xu Shu to serve in the army if they had some skills, and they were also arranged for a good job if they were not. Anyway, now that Xu Shu is not short of money, it is still very easy to support a few more people.

The rest of the officials from the State Shepherd's Mansion to the counties and counties all have a generous year-end bonus.

Zhang Wu also announced that all the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were united and repelled the invasion of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. From the beginning of the new year, as long as all officials in Jingzhou fulfilled their duties and completed their duties with due diligence, no illegal corruption occurred. In addition to the normal payment of the salary stipulated by the imperial court, each person will be given a special subsidy equal to the salary every month.

Think of it as double your salary all at once!
Although the Metropolitan Governor hates corruption very much and will punish it severely once it is discovered, most of the people who are officials now are children of aristocratic families, and their families are not short of money.Moreover, although the governor stipulates that officials are not allowed to do business by themselves, they do not prohibit people in the family from doing business. As long as they do not violate laws and regulations, the governor also allows them to take care of their families properly.

As long as you strictly abide by the business regulations formulated by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, abide by relevant laws and regulations, and pay taxes and taxes according to the regulations, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion not only does not prohibit it, but encourages all families to vigorously develop commerce and handicrafts. It is said that the Metropolitan Government will use force to protect the legal property of each family.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion even encourages major families to do business with states and counties other than Jingzhou. If families from other places are willing to invest and do business in Jingzhou, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will not only give the same preferential conditions, but also provide convenient official services and Strong protection.

Now Jingzhou's commerce and handicraft industry are the most developed in the world. When the commerce is developed, the taxes will be more. The most benefited is the Metropolitan Government.

The families have made money through business, and they will definitely support their sons who are officials. They don't need to make money through corruption.

Zhang Wu also promoted a lot of children from poor families. These people cherished this hard-won opportunity even more. Who would dare to embezzle that little money at the risk of losing their official position or even their life?The salaries and various subsidies given by the governor are enough for them to live decently.

Zhang Wu sent 1000 million yuan to Liu Qi for him to reward his subordinates and close ones. Although Liu Qi doesn't have many clan relatives now, he has a lot of mothers-in-law and more brothers-in-law.

Liu Qi took the opportunity to mention to Zhang Wu that Wang Wei also wanted to lead troops to fight. After Zhang Wu asked Wang Wei himself, he agreed and said that there would be arrangements in the next year.

Zhang Wu also sent Liu Bei 1000 million. Liu Bei was worried that he would not have the money to reward his civil and martial arts, so he half-heartedly accepted it. Anyway, he got a lot in the past two years, which is not bad.

Then, Zhang Wu issued a winter coat to all the soldiers in the army. Each soldier had a catty of wine, a catty of meat, and a thousand dollars. The rewards of junior officers increased in order of rank.

Zhang Wu also held a New Year tea party with the principals of the major families in advance. After discussing and summarizing the income of each family in commerce and handicrafts over the past year, he suggested that everyone should reduce the land rent appropriately so that the people in Jingzhou can also Save a little for a good year.

Of course, Zhang Wu promises that there will be more profitable projects and more favorable conditions in the future, which will definitely earn more and faster than land rent.
