Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 32 Gains and Losses
"Pass down the order, and all ministries will rest for a quarter of an hour."

"In a quarter of an hour, enter the mountain!"

Li Jinghong looked stern, as if he hadn't noticed the low morale of the patrol inspectors at all, so he gave the order.

He Ping hesitated for a while, summoned up his courage and advised:
"My lord, if the thieves dare to ambush like this, they must have completely controlled Qili Village. Why don't you send someone back to the county to explain the situation, and wait until the reinforcements arrive."

Li Jinghong looked at He Ping and asked, "Qili Village has only about thirty households, and less than thirty strong men. We are waiting for two hundred men in armor. What are you afraid of?"

After finishing speaking, Li Jinghong said to himself again:
"The rioters in Qili Village violently resisted the conquest, ignoring the imperial court's power, killing the inspectors, and gathered a crowd to ambush, killing more than a dozen people from the imperial court inspectors..."

"Such actions are tantamount to treason!"

"If you don't punish the party, when will you wait?"

He Ping was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that the patrol from above is about to arrive, if the ass is not wiped clean quickly, if the people above find out, everyone will lose their heads!

Immediately, He Ping asked tentatively: "Sir, do you want to send someone to investigate?"

"If the traitor hadn't ambushed like this just now, I might still be a little afraid!"

"But with such a great opportunity just now, the rebels didn't take advantage of the situation to cover up their kills, which means that the rebels didn't dare to confront us head-on, they were just bluffing to make us afraid!"

"So, why are you afraid!"

While speaking, Li Jinghong glanced at the demoralized patrol inspectors: "Go and tell them, whoever dares to disobey the military order and shake the morale of the army in this battle will be killed, and his whole family will be sent to a hard labor camp!"

"In addition, this battle is to suppress the rebels, and you should be rewarded according to the imperial court's military achievements, and you will also inform it."

"Honestly obey orders."

He Ping clasped his fists in response, and left.

When the order was issued, the temporary station was full of noise, but soon, under the deterrence of the military order, the noise turned into whispers.

The deterrence of cutting off all military orders lies in the individual, and the deterrence of the corvee camp is undoubtedly to completely cut off the retreat of the corvee present.

Although the corvee in the mine is tough, normally speaking, the chance of completing half a year of corvee safely is not small.

But the corvee camp is obviously quite different.

The so-called corvee labor camp refers to the place where criminals worked after being dispatched to the mine.

No matter how many years you are sentenced, you have to work in a hard camp for as many years.

The life of a normal corvee, in a sense, is quite valuable. If he dies in the mine, Qinghe County will give him a pension.

But the corvee in the corvee camp is obviously completely different.

What kind of work is the most dangerous in the mine, that's what the corvee in the hard camp does.

If you die, you die, life is worthless, not worth mentioning!
Such a punishment, but who has parents and children, who can not be afraid?
Chu Mu was alone in his family. Although he was shocked by this punishment, he didn't care too much.

What he was concerned about was what He Ping said just now that he would be rewarded according to the military merits of the imperial court!
The inspector was originally a half-military post, so he naturally knew something about the so-called court military rewards.

Below the corps leader, military merits are judged by beheading.

For corporal leaders and above, military achievements are based on command. For example, in a war, the corporal leader or a general at a higher level will command the headquarter's battle damage, results, and order obedience...

The main thing is the positive and negative calculation of gains and losses, and Chu Mu didn't know much about it.

But Chu Mu knew a lot about the beheading military merit system below the corps leader.

After all, he is just a pawn...

According to the feudal reward system, ordinary soldiers would be rewarded thirty silver for beheading one level in a war, and their parents and children would be exempt from corvee for three years.

Beheading five ranks, the military rank will be promoted to one rank, parents and children will be exempted from corvee service for ten years, and will be rewarded with two hundred silver.

Behead ten ranks, advance two ranks, parents and children will be exempted from corvee service for life, and will be rewarded ten gold!
As for beheading accomplices, they will not be promoted to military rank, but will be rewarded with gold and silver according to their heads.

Undoubtedly, such a military merit award system gave the bottom soldiers a chance to almost reach the sky in one step.

Beheading ten ranks will increase the military rank by two ranks!

Directly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a corps leader, with dozens of soldiers under his command!
Like in ordinary small towns, there are only dozens of patrol soldiers, and there is only one corps establishment, and the corps leader is almost the sky of the town!

Even in an important place like Nanshan Town, with a special establishment, there are only two hundred households and nearly five hundred inspections, and there are only a dozen corporal leaders in total.

This was undoubtedly beyond Chu Mu's expectations.

After all, the imperial court's military merit award system is aimed at serious problems that have already been registered with the imperial court.

For example, the rebels who swept across the place and alarmed the court, such as the war against the barbarians.

This kind of small fight in a small village has nothing to do with the imperial court's military merit award system.

At most, the county will draw up some rewards by itself.

More likely, it still belongs to the normal credit accumulation and job promotion of the inspection department system.

According to Chu Mu's original idea, he acted a little bit, trying to catch the eyes of the people above.

If he dies a little more this time, let some seats be vacant, and see if he can have a chance to sit for a while.

Of course, the premise of all this is to ensure your own safety.

Just like the arrow rain raid just now, you have to ensure your own safety first.

It turned out that such a big sweet date was smashed over.

Jujube is too big and too sweet!

Chu Mu was very moved.

This real return is undoubtedly much more realistic than Li Gang's private and illusory promise.

Although he doesn't have much desire for power and status, but
After being in this world for more than a month, it is not difficult to see that in this era, people without rights and status are really not human!
Even without a certain right and status, many things can't be seen!
Now that the opportunity to fight for power and status is in front of him, how can he not be tempted.

Chu Mu took a bite of the dry food given out, and chewed slowly, his flickering eyes seemed to have become more determined.

Wealth is in danger.

He is alone in this world.

Being helpless means that there is nothing in this world that he can get for nothing.

If you want to get, you have to give.

This risk is worth taking for him!
Swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, Chu Mu grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his face hard.

The bone-piercing cold also stimulated Chu Mu's nerves with the rubbing of his palms.

Chu Mu was very sober and confirmed that he was not passionate.

"Brother Mu, are you going to fight?"

Xu Yuan looked at Chu Mu worriedly.

"Correct."

Chu Mu nodded firmly.

Immediately, he patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Don't be afraid, I read the nearby geography before. There are only about [-] households in Qili Village, and they have been conscripted several times. The number of people is definitely not many now."

"Those who dare to rebel are definitely a minority!"

"There are so many of us, as long as you hide behind, don't rush too far, and put on a show, you shouldn't be in too much danger."

"Brother Mu..."

Xu Yuan wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Chu Mu.

"Don't worry, kid, I cherish my life more than you, and I won't mess around."

Chu Mu looked equally serious, he was not passionate, but also very self-aware.

This is just a preliminary choice made after distinguishing between gains and losses.

Real things cannot be done, and he will not act recklessly, and will continue to weigh gains and losses.
