"My minister Mao Wenlong, accept the order!" Mao Wenlong first thanked him once, took the order, and then stood up.

The other officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town also stood up, and Geng Zhongming and the others were even closer, as if they wanted to see if the imperial edict was true.

"Boy Dongjiang, before I left, Your Majesty personally told me that Governor Mao was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and was alone and had no support. Even if there were some mistakes, it could be forgiven.

This time, this official came to Dongjiang Town. One was to issue an order, and the other was to verify the number of soldiers in Dongjiang as the basis for the subsequent distribution of food and wages. I also asked Governor Mao to cooperate and not to let down His Majesty's trust!"

Lu Xiangsheng took the opportunity to say.

Mao Wenlong felt a little nervous when he heard this. Of course, he knew the number of his subordinates. It would be nice to have 10,000 people who could fight to the court.

"I am betrayed the emperor. There are only 10,000 soldiers in Dongjiang Town, and they have a salary of 20,000. Please report to Your Majesty and condemn me!"

Lu Xiangsheng was brought by troops, and he just said in front of so many people that he would reward the military and civilians of Pidao. It is useless to argue or resist and check. Only by voluntarily plead guilty can there be a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng continued, "Dongjiang No. 1 has to be like this. Your Majesty said that illegal officials of the Ming Dynasty withdrew food and pay. Even if there is a shortage of soldiers in Dongjiang Town, it is a helpless act and will not be punished. But don't commit it again in the future.

Your Majesty has set up a military and food bureau, which is specifically responsible for the distribution of the corps’ food and money. It is currently the responsibility of this official. In the future, the food and money will be distributed to everyone, and it will be guaranteed that everyone will receive their own salary without going through the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty or the generals.

Dongjiang Bo, are you relieved, right?"

Mao Wenlong really had nothing to say now. The new emperor was really too considerate about Dongjiang Town, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"I am ashamed of Your Majesty's grace! Mao Wenlong sighed.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty has the ambition to restore Liao. If Dongjiang Bo has the intention, he should regain his hometown to repay the holy grace!"

"That's the case!" Mao Wenlong said seriously.

Since all of them were acquitted, the subsequent verification process went very smoothly.

Mao Wenlong looked at the silver sent to the island by the Military Corps, and suddenly felt that the court was really different.

These silvers are definitely hundreds of thousands of taels, and even if they don’t have one million taels, they are almost the same.

In other words, you can really be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver!

You know, at the beginning, he secretly decided that no matter how much money he received, he would only take 20,000 taels of money.

Now it was really a slap in the face, and it was impossible for him to spit out the 80,000 taels.

After counting the number of soldiers, it was indeed only more than 11,000. Lu Xiangsheng asked Mao Wenlong to replenish the soldiers to 20,000, and then began to distribute silver.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver were distributed to more than 20,000 people, and each person was approved to distribute twelve taels. Although the remaining part was definitely part of the silver used to purchase military supplies, Lu Xiangsheng allowed it.

Your Majesty has explained that the location here is special and some adaptable means are needed.

It doesn't matter if you spend more money. As long as they can play a role and restrain some of the Jiannu's troops, it will be worth it to have a certain impact on Jiannu.

The twelve taels of silver are a lot, and the border troops pay a monthly salary of about two taels of silver, which is the same number in a year.

But it would be great if you could get four or five taels a year if you really got to the Ming military households.

This time, they gave them twelve taels of silver and took the real money into their hands. The soldiers from Dongjiang Town were all moved to tears.

"It's really a saint king who is in power. I think I might be able to return to the ancestral land of Liaodong in this life!" said a veteran from Liaodong.

Someone next to him echoed: "No, even the court before, I have never heard of the ability to send money directly to us. That is, it was only when the Hongwu Dynasty was rumored that Emperor Taizu had such a deterrence."

These remarks spread among the Dongjiang Town Guards, and Kong Youde and others had some thoughts in their minds after hearing this.

In the original Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong was like a local emperor here. The people and soldiers of Dongjiang only knew that Mao Wenlong was not the court.

But now that everyone has received favor from the court, it is no longer a situation where Mao Wenlong can decide in one sentence.

This is to blatantly win people's hearts, and the court did this right, so Mao Wenlong could understand it naturally.

Next, the people of the Military Corps gave silver to each household and distributed it according to the head. Whether it was a newborn baby or a yellow-haired elderly person, two taels of silver were given.

There are not many people in Dongjiang Town, less than 200,000, so in the end, there are more than 100,000 yuan left in the silver that will be used to help the people.

With the efficient office of the Military Corps, Yinliang was in the hands of the military and civilians in Dongjiang Town within two days. Only then did Lu Xiangsheng accept Mao Wenlong's invitation to the banquet.

"Please don't blame Dongjiang Bo. During the law enforcement period, in order to avoid suspicion, I cannot drink with you! Today's glass of wine will be considered as apologizing!" Lu Xiangsheng said as he picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.

This bold manner immediately attracted a lot of praise.

"Censor Lu is the most honest official I have seen. No wonder His Majesty would entrust you to do this. You enforce the law impartially and have no faults, so how can you apologize? Jiandou is really admired by me. I wish I could meet you earlier, so how would you be like your brothers in the future?" Mao Wenlong smiled heartily.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Please don't blame me for being rude. I can't agree. When I am in the position of the Military and Food Bureau, I can only be an isolated minister and no one can get close to me. If I become a sworn brother with Bo Dongjiang today, I'm afraid I will be involved in you in the future. I have to be careful in the court!"

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but admire him even more when he heard this. Although he couldn't do it, it did not prevent him from admiring Lu Xiangsheng as a noble and lonely minister.

Those who can control themselves and dare to be so cruel to themselves are all powerful people.

"Jiandou's character is so noble! This time I must give you a cup!" Mao Wenlong raised his glass and said.

Lu Xiangsheng accepted the glass of wine and said, "Please rest assured that as long as I am still in the military and food bureau for one day, I will definitely pay the full amount of silver to every soldier. Now Your Majesty is working hard to rule, eliminate the royal family, encourage trade, train new troops, and build new firearms, intending to accumulate strength and eliminate Jiannu in one fell swoop and recover Liao territory.

This is a great time for you to make achievements. Your Majesty once said to me that those who restore Liao territory will be the king of Liaodong!”

After hearing the last sentence, Mao Wenlong, Kong Youde and others all shook their hands.

King of Liaodong!

Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only a handful of kings in different surnames, and they are basically granted kings after death. If they really deserve to be granted the title of King of Liaodong, what a great honor would it be!?

Even if you are in the Nine Springs, it will be a great thing that can make all your ancestors boast about.

What ordinary people want in their lifetime is nothing more than "fame and fortune". If you live on the island, Mao Wenlong naturally has no shortage of interests, so only "fame" is pursued.

Who wouldn't be moved?
