"Brothers, don't worry, I will not only give everyone land, but the money in the warehouse, but also the money in the big guys. But under the current situation, it is not that if you give everyone land and silver, you can get it. You have a life to get it, and you have to enjoy it. There have been changes in dynasties, from the dispute between Chu and Han, until Emperor Taizu rushed to Dayuan, all the time, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river. Whoever wants to be a rich man safely, maybe someone will kill you at any time and steal your money, your land, and your woman."
Gu Zhenhua's speech was not very loud, but he was reasonable and earnest. Everyone escaped from death and knew some of the situation, so they nodded in agreement.
Tang Zhanxiong couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gu, you are resourceful. Brothers trust you, so let's give us a clear way!"
"That's right, we all listen to Mr. Gu. Even if we let us go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire, we won't frown."
"Brothers, the situation in front of us is complicated. Let's start with the easy way, let's talk about how to divide the money and land, and how much can everyone get."
As he said that, Gu Zhenhua took a list from He Zhonghou and showed it to everyone, allowing these soldiers to see it. Most of them were poor, and they were all shocked by the horrifying numbers on it, and some even drooled. Even those who had been officials and had been living in the palace like Gao Hongtu and Xie Bin were all salivating. More than two million taels of silver and one million acres of land and land were simply astronomical figures that they would never dare to imagine.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper and talked a lot. What a huge sum of money this was. As long as you could get one ten thousand, you could be a rich man, and you would have to worry about food and drink.
The performances of these people were all expected in Gu Zhenhua's eyes. After everyone had seen them, Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Uncle Six is ​​unwilling to show this thing to everyone, but I think these are all exchanged for everyone's lives. They do not belong to me, Gu, but are the common property of everyone. Everyone must know it."
"Master Gu, stop talking about anything. Your loyal brothers see it. If you hadn't sacrificed your life, how could you leave the capital alive? How should you divide these things? You said, brothers dare not have any complaints!"
The soldiers present were also excited, patted their chests and exclaimed loudly. Not far away, there were several people staring at Gu Zhenhua, and the group was Kou Gui and the crown prince Zhu Cixuan.
Kou Gui and the prince were very happy after following Gu Zhenhua out of the capital, but they were still confused about how to run to the south next and had to rely on Gu Zhenhua.
"Big companion, the father often said that the emperor should give both kindness and power. With prestige and favors, he would make his subordinates grateful and loyal to his death. But what the hell is Gu Zhenhua doing? Didn't he catch a few thieves? Why didn't he use thunder to intimidate the morale of the army? Instead, he had to share money and land with these soldiers. It was simply a businessman's face. What was this guy thinking?"
Kou Gui could vaguely guess Gu Zhenhua's intention, but it was not easy to refute the prince. He could only say: "Gu Zhenhua is just a vulgar person. How could he understand the means of controlling people? Long live the master's ability, he can't even learn a little!"
Fortunately, Gu Zhenhua didn't hear this, otherwise he would just laugh. If he learns from Chongzhen, wouldn't he have to hang himself on the coal mountain?
On the other side, a pair of twins snuggled tightly beside the girl, secretly watching the soldiers in the threshing ground, especially Gu Zhenhua staring among the crowd.
"Girl, that bad guy wants to share the money. Some of it is the money of Master Chou, which is yours. I don't know how to ask you, I'm simply a bandit!"
Mei Junruo looked at the girl in green and hummed in anger, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhu'er, the Duke's Mansion is gone, and these gold, silver and treasures have nothing to do with us. Don't say too much such stupid words."
The girl in red next to her also smiled and said, "Sister, the girl is right. Look how she looks like the waters of Liangshan in the play, with big scales dividing gold and small scales dividing silver. It's so majestic!"
"It's not just majestic, but also wise!" the girl smiled.
"Girl, how do you say this?"
"With both kindness and power, you must always be arrogant. Otherwise, giving kindness will only be regarded as pleasing, which in turn will make people bully you even more. Using power will become a grudge, making people feel disgusted. If you don't say it, you will also bury your resentment in your heart."
Mei Junruo said this, and couldn't help but remember the two years in the British Duke's Mansion. A girl went to the capital alone, and only she knew how much she had suffered. Looking back, this time she left Beijing might also be a turning point in her fate. Hope was on that person, with clear eyes, waiting tightly for Gu Zhenhua in the crowd, and the girl's heart was soft.
In fact, Mei Junruo said everything was right. Gu Zhenhua knew very well. Although he had a crown prince and a will, this thing would only work after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and had a foothold. It was still a burden at this time. Zhu Chunchen could think about betraying the crown prince, and these big-headed soldiers had no burden. Maybe they would kill Gu Zhenhua together!
If you want to "control the subordinates", you must first make sure that you are "up". Gu Zhenhua is not so confused. He has no capital to dominate these soldiers. For the time being, he and these soldiers are equal. If you want to gain their support, you must share the benefits fairly and tie everyone's interests to him, so that this small group can have combat effectiveness.
"Brothers, in order to be able to leave the city, 56 brothers died and many others were injured. Therefore, when they were divided, they were the first to share these things. Each family of the dead brother received 1,000 acres of land and 2,000 taels of silver. 500 taels of serious injuries, 200 taels of moderate injuries, and 100 taels of minor injuries."
Gu Zhenhua had already asked He Zhonghou to help count the death and injury situation. Now he announced the pension plan as soon as possible. These living soldiers had nothing to say. Instead, they gave Gu Zhenhua a thumbs up.
Gao Hongtu also said, "Mr. Gu, the imperial court had a standard for pension in the past, but the financial resources were exhausted over the years, and many soldiers who died had become a pile of bones, and no one cared about it. You can think of them, who gave such a high pension, ten times or a hundred times more than the government, and these brothers can also smile in their hearts!"
The other soldiers were also very excited. The dead could get so much, and the living would not be bad. They all looked at Gu Zhenhua with a glance, waiting for him to announce the following plan.
"Other brothers, each person has 500 acres of land and 1,000 taels of silver." Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "You can calculate that the dead brothers were 56,000 acres of land and 112,000 taels of silver. The remaining brothers received a total of 175,000 acres of land and 350,000 taels of silver. The total amount was less than a quarter of the total. Do you think my distribution was unfair?"
"Where, where. I'm satisfied to give us these."
"Are you really satisfied? Or are you thinking in your heart that Gu said it nicely, but the big boss still fell into his hands?"
"Master Gu, you are the leader. If you eat meat, you will be very happy if you drink soup. If you dare to complain about you again, you will be struck by lightning and will lose your conscience!" Some soldiers who truly agreed with Gu Zhenhua said one after another. However, some people's eyes wandered, as if they were thinking about something.
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Brothers, to be honest, I didn't treat you as my subordinates. We are brothers in distress. If Gu really wanted to covet these things, he would have taken Tian Qi away long ago. Why should he give it to everyone?"
"Actually, what I give you is just a benchmark number. As long as you perform well, you can get more, 500 acres and 1,000 acres. Even if you have 10,000 acres, it is not impossible!"
Gu Zhenhua's words completely ignited the enthusiasm of the people present. Everyone was excited, their eyes were shining, and their fists were clenched, and they wanted to get the reward immediately.
"Brothers, the land is in Jiangnan, and ancient calligraphy and paintings have to be processed before they can be exchanged for money. But we are surrounded by a army of the King of Chuang. If we can't find a way out, we won't even get these things. Therefore, we must obey the orders, and we will work together and use our energy to live in this troubled world. Is this the reason?"
"Yes, what Mr. Gu said makes sense."
"That's right, we all listen to Mr. Gu. You can do whatever you ask us to do."
...
Looking at these fanatical soldiers, Gu Zhenhua finally showed a smug smile. With motivation and spirit, a team will have hope. Gu Zhenhua's position in this team has been completely established.
