Chapter 30: You will be awarded a knighthood for your merits, and you will be rewarded for your merits!
Hearing the call, Su Jiao opened the curtain and got in.
First he gave Yafu a big smile, then he quickly stood up straight, raised his hands to Ying Chengyu, and shouted solemnly:
"Caiguan (basic infantryman) Su Jiao , meet the general!"
Ying Chengyu also looked at Su Jiao with a serious face and said in a deep voice:
"The official Su Jiao came out of the military camp tonight to report the urgent military situation and prevent the army from getting into chaos. In terms of merit, it is worth a piece of work!"
"I have given you a title for your hard work and a hectare of land." With a house of nine acres and a servant, he can be an official with a rank of fifty stones. "
"In the army, you will get one dou of rice, vegetable soup as a side, and twenty-two cents of salt. 2/22 liters)."
"Adopt the military officer Su Jiao into the personal army camp and serve as the commander of the personal army!"
Ying Chengyu's words were like a heavy hammer. On Su Jiao's eardrum.
It was obviously an invisible voice, but it made Su Jiao's mind rumble!
Su Jiao's family is not poor, but a hectare of land, a house, and a servant are still a lot of income for his family.
And from now on, his daily diet will be a bushel of rice (approximately equivalent to modern brown rice)!
Although it is not as refined as the food eaten by senior generals, it is already rice with the chaff removed, and it will no longer sting his throat like corn every bite.
For a foodie, this is enough to surprise Su Jiao.
More importantly, he was promoted and knighted!
What does it mean to be knighted?
Reach to heaven in one step!
Su Jiao looked at Ying Chengyu in disbelief, pointed his finger at himself and asked:
"General, general, have you admitted the wrong person?"
"I, I didn't cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers, so I won't be knighted for my merits!"
Ying Chengxuan's voice was still serious: "The knighthood of Jishou was decided by Lord Shang."
< br>"In view of the fact that only the first knighthood cannot satisfy the demand for reward for meritorious service, Prime Minister specially developed the strategy of knighthood for meritorious service."
"For your efforts, I will write a complete report as a memorial The imperial court will review it.”
“Even if the general makes some omissions, it is only the general’s fault and has nothing to do with you.”
Da Qin's military merit system has actually been changing.
After Shang Yang, the only way to get a title in Da Qin was to behead someone or appoint someone by the king.
The titles of military generals such as Wang Jian were built up one by one, while Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Lord Yangquan and others relied on the king's hand-picking to obtain titles.
But Lu Buwei completely opened up the channel of "nobility for meritorious service".
You can also be awarded a title by virtue of your "service" such as capturing bandits, donating food, capturing prisoners, capturing flags, etc. However, the review is very strict, and most of the time, you cannot be awarded a title above the hairpin.
And Su Jiao's communication skills completely met the standard of "merit" set by Lu Buwei.
Ying Chengyu explained clearly, but Su Jiao still looked at Bafu, and saw Bafu glared at him:
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the reward. !"
Seeing Eighth Master doing this, Su Jiao quickly raised his hands and shouted:
"Thank you, General Su Jiao!"
Ying Chengyu's expression was still serious, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Captain Su Jiao, step forward!"
Su Jiao hurriedly took a step forward, further closing the distance between him and Ying Chengyu. , you can even feel the air flow from Ying Chengyu's breath.
Ying Chengyu stretched out his hands, held down Su Jiao's left conical bun with one hand, and took off Su Jiao's wooden hairpin with the other hand.
"Comb."
Taking the comb, Ying Chengyu combed Su Jiao's hair briefly, and then used both hands to neatly give Su Jiao a bun that was tilted to the right.
Then she helped Su Jiao put the hairpin back on her hair, and Su Jiao's original left bun became a right bun.
Rubbing his bun, Su Jiao couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Just like those college students in later generations who had their tassels moved from right to left by the dean, it marked a change in status.
It's just different from the status change between school students and undergraduates. The change of bun marks Su Jiao's official leap from the Guizhou class to the noble class!
Furthermore, Su Jiao’s knighthood ceremony was completed personally by Lord Changan of Great Qin.
This incident alone is enough to make Su Jiao brag for a lifetime!
Ying Chengqiao smiled and said warmly: "Congratulations!"
"You don't need to thank me. I, Da Qin, will reward you for your merits. You deserve this." Su He handed over his hand with a bang and shouted loudly like an ox: "The last general will die for the general!"
Ying Chengyu smiled happily: "You are already doing it."< br>
"The arrow that blocked Pu Chuan just now was shot by You, right?"
Su Jiao was stunned: "General, did you see it?!"
In an instant, the eight masters and the hexagram masters When all the soldiers looked at Su Jiao, they all looked closer.
Many of the soldiers' archery skills are not that superb, and they dare not shoot arrows from a distance to avoid hurting Ying Chenglong.
The soldiers with good archery skills had already been shooting arrows at the dead soldiers. By the time they noticed Pu Juan's sword and drew their bows to set the arrows, it was already too late.
Su Jiao's arrow not only saved Ying Chengyu, but also saved all their soldiers!
Ying Chengyu’s voice also became gentler:
“You cannot be awarded a title for your rescue efforts. I can only promote you to the rank of commander of my own soldiers. I will let you accompany me as a reward in the future. ."
"I hope Commander Su won't be dissatisfied with the lack of opportunity to kill the enemy."
Su Jiao shook his head: "General, what are you talking about?"< br>
"It is a humble honor to be your commander."
"And..."
After a pause, Su Jiao lowered his head and spoke in a low voice: "I dare not take credit for my humble position. "
"Bizhi is only able to take action earlier than others because he has been observing Brother Pu. That's all."
Ying Cheng's eyes narrowed: "You know Pu.鶮? ”
Su Jiao explained seriously: "After joining the army at a humble position, I was assigned to the same army as Pu Juan..."
When Su Jiao finished telling the story of his contact with Pu Juan, Ying Chengyu's eyes lit up: " Have you never seen Pu Juan leave alone?"
Su Jiao thought Ying Chengyu was going to deal with him.
After all, Pu Juan assassinated Ying Chengyu, and their fellow soldiers might also be implicated.
Unexpectedly, he heard such questions from Ying Chengxuan, and quickly replied: "No, Brother Pu has always lived and ate with me."
Ying Chengyu asked again: "No one came to see him?"
Su Jiao shook his head firmly after recalling it: "No."
Ying Chengyu was thoughtful. , but changed the topic: "Captain Su, I intend to deal with a person who has committed trouble tonight."
"This matter does not violate Qin law, but it will cause dissatisfaction from the court, and it cannot be done afterwards." Confidence to anyone."
"Hachio wanted to go, but couldn't go because of his leg injury, so he recommended you."
"What do you think?"
Hearing what Ying Chengyu said, Su Jiao knew that what Ying Chengyu wanted him to do was dirty work.
But if you can get promoted by doing dirty work, why not do it?
It’s just killing people!
Su Jiao raised his hand without hesitation: "I am willing to take this humble position!"
Instructing the hexagram master to take Su Jiao with him, Ying Chengyu murmured softly and thoughtfully:
"Fan Yuqi didn't know that Pu Hao had entered the army!"
The eight masters Quite surprised: "How could this happen?"
"Puchou kept shouting his name before he died. He was obviously an assassin who only wanted his reputation after his death."
"In today's world Who else besides Lu Buwei would recruit a ranger assassin to assassinate the family head?”
"Fan Yuqi also obeyed Lu Buwei, so they should be in the same group."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth: "But now it seems that they are not in the same party. People!”
