Chapter 1541 Dafa Silver Reward
After listening to Zhu Pingan’s further explanation of hunger marketing, Liu Mu seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, roughly at the critical point between understanding and not understanding.
Zhu Ping'an is not surprised by this. After all, hunger marketing is hundreds of years ahead of this era. How can it be so easy to understand? However, a great man has a famous saying that true knowledge comes from practice. After some practice, you will slowly understand. , then he smiled and patted Liu Mu on the shoulder and whispered He said, "After a while, you will understand everything."
"Well, although I don't quite understand what Young Master calls hunger marketing, it sounds very reasonable. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, Young Master. Just tell me what to do," Liu Mu said with trust.
Seeing the trust on Liu Mu's face, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. It was their destiny to meet Liu Mu and the others, and it was his own destiny. Having them by his side really helped him. What a big help.
After Zhu Ping'an sighed with emotion, he took out two ingots of ten taels of silver from his arms and handed them to Liu Mu, "Brother Mu, we have been resting for more than a day since the day before yesterday when we exterminated the Japanese pirates and entered the city. It's time to have a celebration banquet. You can bring it with you. Twenty taels of silver, take people to the nearby market to buy a fat pig and a sheep. You can buy some food and wine with the remaining money. You can also buy less. We will kill pigs and slaughter sheep at noon today, plus the food sent by the common people to the army. Our Zhejiang army will hold a celebration banquet. At the celebration banquet, each person can drink half a bowl of celebration wine, just to taste it. "
"Is that your order?" Liu Zhuang took the silver, nodded vigorously, turned around and opened her mouth.
"Oh, by the way, bring more troops, take these 1,500 taels of silver notes, plus the 300 taels of the secret sword sore medicine sold today, and stop by the bank on your way back to exchange them all Broken silver, preferably about one tael or so. Before the celebration banquet begins, hold a reward and commendation meeting to give the previously promised reward for killing Japanese pirates. Everyone fulfilled it."
Zhu Ping'an looked at Liu Mu's back and suddenly slapped his forehead. He had been writing at his desk for too long and almost forgot something important. When he remembered it, he immediately stopped Liu Mu and took it out from his arms. A stack of banknotes, including 2,300 taels of banknotes, were handed over to Liu Mu, asking him to go to the bank to exchange for broken silver so that he could give out silver rewards to everyone.
Liu Mu did not reach out to take the banknote, but looked up at Zhu Ping'an, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but bitterly persuaded, "Master, you have been worried about the military pay for a while. Running around to raise pay. The imperial court is in arrears with pay, and the pay from last month has not been paid out by the end of this month. It is already very difficult for you to pay everyone on time, and this reward is not paid."

"No, no one can stand without trust! The promised silver reward must be fulfilled, so as to keep the morale of the army! In addition, I was really worried about the pay of the soldiers some time ago, but we wiped out the Japanese pirates the day before yesterday, but we made a huge fortune from the Japanese pirates. Not for a short time I have to worry about the salary. Of course, even without this windfall, the silver reward must be cashed in. This is the principle." Zhu Pingan gently patted Liu Mu's shoulder, firmly pushed the silver note into Liu Mu's hand, and insisted. Liu Mu was ordered to go to the bank to exchange broken silver.
“Young Master!”
Zhu Pingan’s persistence and integrity made Liu Mu admire him. He looked at Zhu Pingan with admiration, nodded vigorously, and took the banknote with both hands. They were filled with emotion, their young master is really a handsome man! They are really lucky to be able to follow him!
Liu Mu came out When they got to the handsome tent, they met Liu Dadao who was walking outside to bask in the sun. Liu Dadao learned that Liu Mu was going to work outside, so he kept pestering him to go with him. Liu Mu knew that he had been recovering from his injuries in bed for the past two days and was already exhausted. I just wanted to go out for fun, and now that I had the opportunity, I naturally didn't want to miss it. After thinking about it, I decided to take him with me. Anyway, I have to take a lot of people out, and he won't be too much.
At noon, the smell of pork and mutton came from the Zhejiang Army camp, and the fragrance floated for miles.
Pork head meat, braised pork, braised pork ribs, large pot stewed pork and mutton, mutton stewed with radish, mutton meatballs.
Every dish has strong military camp characteristics and is served on the table. The meat is a big piece of meat, and the bowl is The Big Sea Bowl completely satisfies people's ideal of eating large pieces of meat and drinking in a big bowl, making people salivate.
Tables filled with wine, meat and delicacies were arranged in a "hui" shape around the temporary school grounds.
There is an open space in the middle of the zigzag shape formed by the tables.
"Hey, it's time to celebrate the victory. Look at the table full of delicious food. Just smelling it makes your mouth water flow down."
"Wow, did you see that? There is still wine. When will we be seated? I can't stand this greedy thing anymore."
"Hey, I followed Brother Liu to the market outside to buy vegetables. , we spent a full twenty taels of silver on all the ingredients for this celebration banquet. We bought a pig, a sheep and two large carts of vegetables. Let me tell you, the pig our battalion bought weighed three hundred taels, and it was a big fat pig.”
As the food and wine were served, a group of officers from the Zhejiang Army also came to the table. They led us down to the school ground. Looking at the delicious food on the tables and smelling the aroma of the wine and meat, all the soldiers drooled one after another.
"Haha, the dishes are all here. Let's all sit down in groups." Zhu Ping'an, surrounded by Liu Mu and others, walked into the open space in the middle of the zigzag shape and smiled at a group of people. The soldiers said.
"Thank you, sir." All the soldiers thanked them and couldn't wait to take their seats under the leadership of the corps commander.
"Today's meal is a belated celebration banquet to celebrate our Zhejiang army's victory over the Japanese pirates in Shangyu the day before yesterday. At that time, the Japanese soldiers surrounded Yingtian City, and tens of thousands of Yingtian City defenders could not hold on. It was our Zhejiang army who stepped forward to expel them. You all did a good job and wiped out the Japanese pirates. You deserve this celebration banquet today."
After all the soldiers were seated, Zhu Pingan looked at everyone with approval and said loudly.
“It’s all leaders who have done well.”
“If you hadn’t anticipated the enemy beforehand and planned in advance, we would have capsized, let alone annihilated the Japanese pirates.”
All the soldiers spoke one after another, and they all admired Zhu Ping'an.
"Haha, it's your credit that's yours, no need to be polite. Oh, by the way, today's celebration banquet, you can drink alcohol as an exception, but each person can only drink half a bowl of wine at most. If you drink more, you will be severely punished. Everyone is in charge The director must take full responsibility for supervision and prevent excessive drinking in Benwu."
Zhu Ping'an said with a smile.
“Alas, it’s a pity that such a good dish can only be consumed with half a bowl of wine.”
“Half a bowl of wine is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth.”
Many soldiers couldn't help but lamented when they heard that they could only drink half a bowl of wine.
"Alcohol is prohibited in the military camp. Today is the celebration banquet. If your Excellency can make an exception and let us drink half a bowl of celebration wine, we will be satisfied."
"Yes, some drinking is good."
Someone is watching Yes, he comforted me with contentment.
"Before the celebration banquet begins, let's delay everyone's tea time." Zhu Ping'an said to everyone with a smile, and then clapped his hands.
Papa.
Along with the applause, everyone saw eight soldiers, a group of four carrying two heavy boxes across the crowd and into the open space in the middle of the zigzag.
“Open it.” Zhu Pingan Langsheng said.
The eight soldiers opened the box in response, and there was a sudden burst of dazzling white light
“Ah, my dog eyes are going to be blinded, so much money.”
"A lot of money."
All the soldiers suddenly screamed.
“When our Zhejiang Army was established, I promised you that for every Japanese pirate killed, I would be rewarded thirty taels of silver. The day before yesterday, our Zhejiang Army killed fifty-seven Japanese pirates from Shangyu, and for every Japanese pirate killed, The Japanese pirates rewarded thirty taels of silver , that is one thousand seven hundred and one taels of silver. Now, I have fulfilled my promise, and the whole one thousand seven hundred and one taels of silver in these two boxes will be distributed to you." Zhu Pingan pointed to the two boxes. The soldiers said.
"Long live!"
"Long live my lord!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were already high even before they drank. (End of chapter)
