Chapter 19 Rewarding the Heroes (Part 2)
Eighty-eight taels of silver are not a small amount. These heavy silver is piled on the table at this time, pressing the corner of the round table slightly tilted.
For ordinary farmers who have been digging food in the soil for generations, the wealth in front of them is a peak that they will never reach in their lifetime. But at this moment, these astronomical silvers are placed in front of everyone. Although they are divided equally by eight people, these children from farm families are still excited and excited.
"This... is all for us?" Ma Jianye asked his brother-in-law with incredible expressions and breathing rapidly. Under the warm morning light, the white and dazzling light emitted by the silver made him look like a dream.
Jianye’s problem is very representative, and the friends who stand by the side expressed their thoughts. Although everyone had seen King Du send money to the villagers before going up the mountain, they didn’t expect it would be their turn so soon. At this time, everyone looked at Li Si eagerly, hoping to get affirmation from this brother’s mouth again.
"Didn't the accountant just now? This is what the copycat is divided with everyone, and it is the reward for the battle last night!" Li Si smiled calmly. After experiencing so many things, his mentality at this moment is no longer comparable to that of the timid Mao guy who had just stopped. The importance of the experience he got last night to his life is beyond the reach of his life.
"But... but we just went up the mountain. They all say that we will not receive any rewards without merit. This money..." As an older brother, Ma Jiangong is obviously more mature than his younger brother. Even if such a huge sum is in front of him, he can still break free from the temptation of money and think of the principles of being a human being.
Li Si shook his head and replied, "What is Wugong? I scare Chao Baozheng away, you didn't go? You didn't move the grain and grass? You all remember that if you go up the mountain, you are a member of the village! Our village leader doesn't treat you as an outsider, why both of you have to leave yourself alone! And you have taken the money away, and you have to help transport the grain and grass after eating for a while!"
After hearing what Li Si said, everyone felt at ease. They each held back the ecstasy of their hearts. You looked at me, I looked at him, and they all reached out under the table to vent their joy. However, although everyone stared at the yellow and white thing, no one took the money that was close to them.
Li Si could understand the restraint of the juniors in the same village. Even one night ago, he was not like this. He stood up and pushed the silver into eight piles, one by one to everyone. At this time, Ma, who was still immersed in surprise, had not yet recovered, and woke up when he saw her husband's movements. He squatted down and helped count the copper coins on the ground. He imitated Li Si and divided them into eight piles and placed them neatly.
Ma Jiangong lowered his head and looked at his cousin who had returned the copper coins, thinking in his heart. After everyone and his brother happily took the reward in front of him, he finally made up his mind and pushed the silver in front of him to Li Si according to his earnest instructions before leaving, and said embarrassedly: "This money is for a gift to meet with his sister and brother-in-law!"
Li Si and Ma, who experienced this for the first time in their life, were stunned and obviously did not react. It was Ma who woke up first, unconsciously looked at her husband with a slight sense of accomplishment, and then looked back and complained to her brother: "Jiangong, what are you doing? You are an adult, you are still childish! You are a child, but you just pretend to be mature! You are my brother, afraid of comparing others? Is it necessary to do this? I will only help your brother-in-law more in the future, and my sister will be happy!"
Ma Jiangong's face was flushed and refused to take back the silver no matter what he said. He just said, "Since my sister doesn't want it, then I will be my nephew's New Year's money. The New Year is coming soon, so I'll have a good fortune!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law was just pushing him away, Li Si looked quite nervous without realizing it. He hurriedly looked around. Seeing that it did not attract the attention of others, he felt a little relieved and said to Ma Jiangong: "Put it away quickly, don't do this! When the village leader saw it, he thought I would deduct your reward, and it would harm me when the time comes!"
Seeing that her husband's expression changed drastically, Ma was panicked and hurriedly said, "We are not going to accept my younger brother, why are you nervous?"
"Sister, you don't know anything! The village leader has just been strict. Anyone who dares to deduct the rewards from his subordinates will be killed without mercy! If someone sees it, it's really yellow mud that falls into his crotch. It's not shit or shit! I've just become the leader, so I'm going to do this. How can I explain to the village leader? Make contributions! Don't do this, I will hurt your brother-in-law!" Li Si hurriedly confessed.
Ma Jiangong was also shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I just want to respect my brother-in-law, but I don't intend to frame him!"
Li Si smiled bitterly and sighed, "Hurry up and put it away! Not to mention that you and I are covered with blood, just say that for the sake of the villagers, if I don't take care of you, the elders in the village will not point at my backbone and curse me!"
Ma Jiangong lowered his head and took back the money. The people at the deskmate were relieved to see this. They just saw Ma Jiangong's actions, which made them lose some ground. If they didn't respect Li Si, they would be afraid of being worn in the future! If they followed Li Si, they would be reluctant to let it go! If such a huge sum of money was enough for the family to live a good life for a few years, they would be really scared of poverty!
When he thought of his family, someone asked, "Fourth Brother, I want to take this money home to my mother. Do you think it is?"
Li Si nodded and said, "It's true! What's wrong with this? But I advise you to accumulate the money first and send it down the mountain when you save too much! Don't you know that now is no longer as good as when you were at home. You must follow the rules of the parody when you go up the mountain! Think about it, if anyone says you want to go down the mountain, will the parody be messed up? So when you have saved enough, I will report to the master of the village and send some people to escort them together, which is safer!"
Everyone felt it was reasonable when they saw it, and they nodded vigorously. Everyone heard Li Si’s intention of rewarding was a common example, and someone asked, “Second Brother, do we have this reward in the future?”
Li Si smiled cheerfully and said, "Yes! Why didn't you have a child? The leader of the village is pretending to be everyone in his heart! You think there are even women like your sister-in-law who have not gone down the mountain. How could the village be absent from you? Didn't you hear the accountant just now that this was the reward from last night? If you go down the mountain to borrow food in the future, you will naturally still have a reward, but the amount will vary. At that time, the specific amount will depend on the situation of the village being seized, but no matter what, you will be rewarded!"
Everyone was very excited when they heard this. They all thought that it was only ten days ago. What would it be if it accumulated over time? Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but whispering below, looking forward to a good day in the future.
Seeing that everyone had no questions, Li Si asked the family to collect their own rewards and smiled and picked up food into the child's bowl.

"Last night, under the leadership of the village leader Du and Song, our copycat made a lot of money. We copied 6,100 taels of gold, 2,700 taels of silver, 4,600 taels of copper coins, and about 2,000 jin of jewelry. In addition to the 3,300 jin distributed to the villagers before returning to the village, the total value is about 67,000 jin. In terms of food and grass, the grain moved back to the village was about 4,380 stones, and there were 110 cattle, 223 mules, 490 sheep, and more than 3,300 chickens, ducks and geese. The other captures are still being cleaned up. This is probably the case. Please ask the village leader to give instructions!" Zheng Qian reported to the four leaders with the data calculated by his subordinates.
"How much is the reward given to everyone? How much is it for this time to be stored?" Wang Lun asked while holding a lamb chop in his hand.
Zheng Qian didn't have to read the account book at all, so he reported: "According to the command of the village leader, 70% of the harvest was seized this time, totaling 46,900 guan. The remaining rewards of the children who went down the mountain were seized, with 14,560 guan per person. The children guarding the village, the families who contributed their efforts, and the brothers who just went up the mountain accounted for 10%, 11,000 guan per person, 100 guan per person, 137 guan per person..." This share ratio was the result of Wang Lun's careful consideration. 70% of the warehouse was enough to ensure the normal operation of the village, and 15,000 rewards of the warriors and 100 guan per person were not obvious at this time. It was mainly considered that there will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in the village in the future, and the number of soldiers going to the battle will only account for a small half of the total number. At that time, the difference between the rewards of the battle and the guarding the village will be revealed, which can fully motivate everyone to seek war.
"Stop, don't talk about it later! You can watch us and we are busy settle the accounts. It's really hard! The money will be rewarded with the gentlemen below you! We will get 830 knots!" Before Zheng Qian finished speaking, Du Qian interrupted.
Hearing this, Zheng Qian was a little difficult to make a decision. He didn't know whether to accept it or not. He subconsciously looked at his village leader. Wang Lun waved his hand at him as if he was in tune with him, and said, "You have another account. I will have 830 taels of silver in your place. I will withdraw it when needed!"
Zheng Qian felt relieved when he heard Wang Lun's words, hurriedly thanked Du Qian, and thanked the other three leaders. At this time, Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and said, "I should receive 419 stakes this time, right? I will actually receive 400 stakes! I will exist in your place like my brother!"
Wang Lun patted Zhu Gui's back of his hand, picked up a bowl of wine to signal to him. Zhu Gui quickly raised the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one go.
"Well! Zheng Qian, let me leave my money, and I will take it when I want it!" Du Qian heard Wang Lun and Zhu Gui say this, and thought this method was very good, so he copied it.
"Haha, then mine will be left to you, but I don't know if there is interest!" Song Wan made fun of him when he saw this.
Zheng Qian said with a bitter face: "Three leader, you think you are lending usury! I'm all copycats here, so how can I get interest for you!"
Everyone laughed loudly when they saw this, Du Qian pointed at Song Wan and said, "Brother, I can't tell you are a good person! It's a pity if you don't go to be a rich man! Alas, it's a pity!"
"Even a rich man, you have to be careful of King Du coming to borrow food. I think it would be better to share the money with my brother!" Song Wan laughed. At this time, he was in a very comfortable mood. You should know that in the past, the leaders shared half of the spoils, but the base was too small, and it was only a few dozen cents of stakes to everyone. Most of the time, they were small-scale, and only a few cents of stakes were paid. It was very common for only a few cents of stakes. How could there be a lot of rewards for nearly 1,000 cents of stakes now? Although Wang Lun greatly reduced the dividend ratio of the leaders from 50% to half a century, the leaders were not displeased, but they were convinced and felt that Wang Lun was devoted to the public.
