The big reading is over.

The solemn atmosphere during the martial arts performance quickly changed.

The awarding ceremony is about to begin.

This award is mainly given to those who have always performed well and trained extremely hard, and to commend those who fought bravely and made meritorious deeds during the previous war with the Liang Kingdom.

The current delay is due to the slow progress in the production of merit reward cards.

As a reward plaque to commend meritorious deeds, Guan Ning's requirement for it is to be exquisite. It not only expresses honor, but also has value in itself!

It is more difficult to make than a silver dollar, which requires craftsmen to strive for excellence.

In fact, the experience of making silver coins is obtained from making merit medals.

Merit medals of different levels are made of different materials and have different patterns.

The first-class merit reward plaque is made of pure gold and is extremely valuable.

In order to ensure their content, merit medals are not distributed randomly. Recipients must first report to the Ministry of War through their respective military units, and the Ministry of War will then send people to check the merits and whether they are eligible to receive them.

It will be released after confirmation.

Because of the difficulty of obtaining it, it is now regarded as a very high honor.

The list has already been determined.

The recipients of the award are already in the queue ready to receive the award.

After calling out their names one by one, they walked onto the platform one by one.

Awarded by Guan Ning, Pang Qingyun and others.

In front of the entire army, this is indeed a very high honor.

Honor is what soldiers pursue.

Of course, it’s not just about honors, there are also real benefits.

When promoted to a higher general position, the salary will also be improved, and the family members of third-class merit medal winners will also receive preferential treatment.

These are all the best incentives.

The awarding ceremony is in progress.

And at the end, a special honoree came up to the platform.

He was carried up.

He was seriously injured in a previous war and was paralyzed, unable to stand up.

Guan Ning knelt down to receive the honor. This scene moved everyone.

Your Majesty is actually able to do this.

The devil is in the details.

Guan Ning didn't mean to show off, he just showed that as long as you pay, you will get the honor and rewards you deserve!

The awarding of medals is over, the honor has been obtained, then it’s time to reward!

The soldiers carried dozens of large boxes and placed them under the fighting platform.

The soldiers all showed excitement. They had been notified last night that His Majesty had come to give extra rewards, which were not included in the military pay!

The silver coins used were newly minted by the imperial court, and they were money that could be blown!

As soon as the silver dollar was launched, it aroused crazy pursuit. It has exquisite designs and colors, is large and heavy, and is difficult to counterfeit... These are the reasons why it is so popular.

Due to insufficient production capacity, it is no exaggeration to say that there are already cases where one or two can be used as two on the black market.

Of course, there is another important reason for sounding the alarm.

Guan Ning came here this time to use all his production capacity for several months, and gave priority to rewarding the army.

The officers and soldiers of the border guard army had all heard of silver coins and seemed very excited.

Open the box and get money!

The newly minted silver coins were wrapped in straw paper and placed neatly in piles.

Tear!

The papyrus was torn apart.

The bright silver dollar shines brightly, making people's eyes look straight.

"Everyone line up and come one by one. This is His Majesty's reward for everyone!"

The generals shouted.

There was a long queue on the school grounds.

"Your Majesty, this reward is heavy enough."

Hao Cang couldn't help but speak when he saw the scene below.

"Everyone doesn't get much. I just want everyone to listen."

Not all of them are here. The soldiers who are still holding on outside have to go to the First Army to distribute them.

There are too many people!

The soldiers lined up to receive the money in an orderly manner, and the scene was very lively.

at the same time.

The Wei army camp across the border was also handing out money, but it was not money, but banknotes!

By coincidence, the new king of Wei, Emperor Jianwu, also came to the border.

After Meng Hong sent an envoy to threaten him, Ji Chuan agreed to the conditions under pressure, and Meng Hong discussed a deal at the border before leaving.

Who should be sent to complete it?

This is an important negotiation.

Now that the conditions have been agreed, Daning must abide by the agreement and similar things must never happen again.

Who can bear to send troops to provoke at every turn?

After the thought.

Himekawa decided to come in person to complete the transaction and express his condolences to the troops!

After receiving intelligence, the Wei army was forced to accept the provocation by Daning's army without counterattack, which made the army unstable and full of resentment.

Taking this opportunity, Himekawa came to inquire, and he could also take advantage of the Chinese New Year to send military supplies and distribute rewards.

Obviously Himekawa has the same plan as Guan Ning.

Demonstrate Long's favor and win over the army.

The two have become completely hostile to Daning, and a war will begin in a few years!

Before that, he must firmly control the military power in his own hands.

Moreover, he also needs the support of the military to implement reforms in the country!

For this reason, Himekawa came to the border garrison.

He was just here to give out money, and he was quite generous.

There was also a long queue at the military camp, and large boxes were placed in front of the queue just like the Second Army of the Daning Border Guard.

The difference is that while giving out money, paper is given out at the same time.

To be precise, it is the Great Wei Treasure Coupon.

The price ranges from 20 taels to 50 taels per person.

Paper banknotes have been widely promoted in the Wei State. In order to better issue them and apply them to the people, Ji Chuan issued many decrees one after another.

This included the implementation of a gold and silver ban, restrictions on the circulation of gold and silver, and strict regulations that merchants could only trade with Dawei Baoguan.

Redeem within a limited time, no waiting after expiration date.

Of course, such a decree is useful. How can it not work if the emperor directly issued the decree?

The exchange is still based on the actual silver amount and the exchange is equivalent.

But the issuance was in a hurry, and there was no quota. At first, there was still enough, but gradually there was no benchmark, and there was already over-issuance and excessive printing.

Printing is faster than casting silver. Once you have set the template, you can print as much as you want, and you can set the quota as much as you want.

Just like when the troops stationed at the border this time, Himekawa ordered a large number of printed copies!

He thinks this is a gift, the emperor's grace is so great, and the emperor keeps his word, I say this is money, this is money!

But the soldiers had doubts.

"Thirty taels, this is yours."

The military attaché who handed out the money took out a thirty-tael coupon from the box and gave it to the soldier.
