My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 746 The problem of pension
"Liu Mingzhi, you are so daring, without His Majesty's imperial decree, you imprisoned me and other high-ranking officials without the trial of the three justices. When I sue the Jinluan Palace, I will let you dismiss me from office to vent our anger!"

Four or five fenced prison cars were parked in a dark corner of a side camp in the Longwuwei camp, and a few men in crimson official hats sat in the prison cars with shackles and cursed angrily.

The horizontal knife in the hand of the soldier on the side patted the wheel: "If you dare to make noise, don't blame grandpa's knife for not recognizing people!"

The five officials immediately fell silent and huddled in the corner of the prison car, looking at the soldiers with knives in fear.

"You are so courageous. We are officials ordered by the imperial court. You, a small prison captain, dare to be so rude to this officer. Are you not afraid that this officer will take your head if you join us?"

The captain of the criminal prison looked disdainfully at the official who was about 40 years old: "My lord, you seem to be the governor of Shaozhou. You don't know the rules of the camp. If you dare to make noise again, will the captain be lost?" I don't know the head, you will never see the sun tomorrow!"

The governor of Shaozhou immediately lowered his head, he felt that Qiu Ba was too presumptuous and unreasonable at all.

The captain patted Bai Ling on his waist: "If you don't have the commander's interrogation, you dare to make a lot of noise. This captain tells you to go and bury the brothers! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

The lights in the big tent were flickering, and Liu Mingzhi's white silk around his waist was meticulously copying the names on the badges. These are the badges of soldiers who died in battle, and the badges of soldiers who were seriously injured and could no longer charge to kill the enemy.

"Commander, the statistics of Xiaoguowei's battle results are back. This is a letter from General Zhou!"

The pen holder in Liu Mingzhi's hand flicked after writing the last name and put away the brush: "Take it here!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Baoyu put the document in front of Liu Mingzhi with a grim expression.

Liu Mingzhi picked up the document and flipped through it, and saw that the number of battle damage on it had been silent for a long time, and it was more than double that of Long Wuwei.

Over a hundred Xiaoguo Wei Erlang buried their bones in a foreign land, so they had to take their loyal souls back.

Song Qing, Cheng Kai and the two stood aside with gloomy expressions, watching Liu Mingzhi re-transcribe the list sent by Zhou Baoyu.

Every list is solemnly stamped with the seal of commander, which is the pride of Long Wuwei.

It took about an incense stick of effort for Liu Mingzhi to dry the ink stains on the document, put it on the table beside him, and rubbed his forehead. Now his thoughts are in a mess.

Song Qing poured a cup of tea and brought it over.

"Marshal, death cannot be brought back to life, so mourn and obey. These brothers all died on the road of serving the country and the people. They are worthy of the title of Longwuwei and the reputation of protecting the country as a loyal soul. This is the honor of a soldier, and it is also The fate of soldiers, they deserve to die!"

"Yes, Commander, I'm sorry. Brothers know that there is such a good Commander who feels sorry for them, and the spirit in heaven will rest in peace. If you are depressed, Commander, what should the rest of the brothers do?"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and straightened his face: "The list of brothers who died in the war is directly reported to the Ministry of War for trial, and the Ministry of Households for review. The pensions will be personally guarded by school lieutenants at all levels and sent to the brothers' wives, children, and children without going through local prefectural and county officials. Pass it on, if this commander knows someone who dares to drink the blood of soldiers, he will be skinned and cramped for 180 days to rectify the military regulations!"

"Marshal, this is against the law. The pension should be distributed to the brothers' families by local officials. We have no right to ask about this matter!"

Liu Mingzhi's expression sank and he wandered around in the big tent. This is the law of the dragon and he can't violate it too much.

"How much is the pension?"

"120 taels, tax exemption for three years, five acres of land!"

"One life is only 120 taels of silver, it's really worthless!"

"Marshal, 30 brothers in northern Xinjiang, 100 taels is already a lot. If there is more treasury to distribute the salary of the six guards, it will not be able to support it. Many officials will complain about 120 taels!"

Liu Mingzhi slapped the table with a blushing face: "Let them go to battle and kill the enemy if they think it's too much, and they won't think it's too much if they don't put their heads on the waistband of their trousers for 1 taels."

Song Qing replaced the cold tea with hot one: "Marshal, calm down, don't say any more angry words, 120 taels of silver is enough for a family of three for five years as long as there are no local officials to drink blood, and there are still five mu There is a lot of land!"

Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea and calmed down, knowing that he was indeed a little emotional.

"Distribute 20 taels of pensions to the local officials, and the rest will be sent to the brothers' families by the school captains at all levels in person. This should be all right!"

"That's not a problem, I'm afraid the local government will scold our generals of Longwuwei for being worthless!"

"Go ahead and curse, as long as the family members of the brothers can understand us, the common people have a steelyard in their hearts, and they know who is really good for them!"

"Marshal, the last general has an idea!"

Cheng Kai pondered for a while and said softly.

"Tell me!"

"Take the ashes of your brothers with you. After the banditry is over, the commander-in-chief can request an imperial decree ordering the school lieutenants to supervise the local officials to personally distribute the pension. If the imperial decree fails to come down, then use your method, commander-in-chief."

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and nodded: "Okay, just follow your method, let the brothers go to have a good rest."

"Yes, I will retire at the end!"

After Cheng Kai left, Liu Mingzhi held up a candle and checked it on the map: "Brother, a bigger storm is still waiting for us, we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and we must not let the brothers suffer casualties!"

"Why don't you borrow some willow leaf disciples from your uncle? There are many masters in the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, but Senior Li Xiang is the only one.

Liu Mingzhi put down the candlestick and wiped the ink marks on his hands: "You're right. Ants kill elephants. Even though Senior Li is a half-step genius, a tiger can't control a pack of wolves. It's just that the old man can't meddle in the court." Although it is a good intention to help us suppress the bandits, what if His Majesty doesn't think so?"

"Your Majesty has overestimated our abilities. Most of the places in the south of the Yangtze River are high mountains and dense forests. The rebels of the White Lotus Sect often like to use the high mountains and dense forests to entangle the army. It is impossible to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Liu Mingzhi held the commander's seal and rubbed it lightly: "Brother, do you think His Majesty has any backhands? We don't know about backhands? With His Majesty's character, we shouldn't be alone in danger!"

Song Qing sighed deeply: "Not necessarily, Your Majesty must have underestimated the ability of the White Lotus Sect, thinking that suppressing bandits is the same as a confrontation between two armies, if this is the case, we are really happy to not be afraid of this group of mobs, but the traitors of the White Lotus Sect Thieves don’t play cards according to common sense.”

"It's too late to ask His Majesty to mobilize a group of masters. The bandits are imminent. Knowing that this is irrational, I can only bite the bullet and rush forward!"

Song Qing raised his arms and wandered around in the big tent.

"It would be great if we could gather a group of masters in the Jianghu. We have seized so much money in Penglai Pavilion, as long as they are willing to spend money, there must be someone willing to help!"

Liu Mingzhi's eyes brightened: "I have a solution, isn't it a master? As long as you have money, you can be any master!"
