Accompanying a carriage, they came to a mansion and stopped. Ye and Huai quickly dismounted.
After the groom opened the curtain, Bai Yan's figure walked out of the carriage.
"Be careful!"
Bai Yan dragged the huge wooden box out of the edge of the carriage and said softly.
Although five hundred gold is not five hundred catties, five hundred gold cakes still weigh a lot, and with the wooden box used to hold the gold, the weight is even more.
Inside the mansion.
After receiving the news, Bao Shi had already taken Xi and Master Xu to wait in the courtyard.
When they saw Bai Yan in official uniform entering the courtyard from the gate, Master Xu and Xi looked at Bai Yan with brilliant eyes.
When he went there, Bai Yan was riding in a carriage and was wearing Qin armor. Now when he came back, Bai Yan was already dressed in official uniform and had a ceremonial crown on his head.
Obviously, Bai Yan is now a minister of the Qin State, and his title is also a general.
"General!"
The Bao family stepped forward and watched Bai Yan coming over. Under Qin's clothes, he hugged and bowed.
If the young man in front of me was called a doctor before, then now, the young man is at least a general, and he should be called a general.
"This is the five hundred gold rewarded by the king!"
Bai Yan nodded, pointed to the wooden box carried by Ye and Huai, and said to the Bao family.
Five hundred gold.
Hearing this amount, Bao's beautiful eyes looked at the wooden box in surprise. Although she was the wife of a general before, even Han Ling, a general, did not have this amount of gold.
The territory of Korea is so large, and there is more than just Han Ling in the Korean court.
Although Han Qiu secretly embezzled supplies and military pay, there wasn't much he could dig out. After being divided into layers, not much got into his hands.
At present, King Qin Yingzheng has given so many rewards.
While Bao was lost in thought, Bai Yan took out several land deeds from the cloth bag in the sleeve of his official uniform.
When Bao saw Bai Yan handing the land deed to him, he stretched out his hands to take it.
"Land deed, farm and house, seventy-four hectares each!"
Bao looked at the amount on the land deed and murmured, then raised his pretty face and looked at Bai Yan with his beautiful eyes.
Bai Yan felt Bao's gaze, and a smile appeared on his face. He couldn't bear it, and asked Ye and others to take the wooden box to the study.
Even the introverted Bai Yan, seeing the look in Bao's eyes, for some reason, without much vanity, felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
Return to the study.
Bai Yan was hungry all morning. When he returned to the mansion, he could finally drink tea and eat something comfortably.
Master Xu was waiting on Bai Yan.
Seeing Bai Yan eating, Master Xu, who had lived in Qi State before, was a little surprised.
In the State of Qi, for ministers and generals, chicken and duck meat were provided in the court every day for officials to enjoy, but judging from the appearance of the generals, it was obvious that the court in Qin did not have them.
Could it be that he had already gone to court before noon, so he didn't have it just now?
"many!"
When Master Xu was confused, the stream beside him suddenly made a sound of exclamation. The reason was that as the box was opened, one could see the golden gold inside the box at a glance.
If there is any color in the world that makes people's hearts beat faster, it must be gold, followed by bronze.
One is gold and the other is coins. Everyone needs them.
This represents the comfort of life, which is related to all aspects of life. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inseparable from these. As long as you have enough coins or a piece of gold, you can live a life that others are envious of.
On wooden table.
Bai Yan also saw this scene.
Five hundred gold!
Even when Bai Yan saw this box of gold again, his breathing was slightly uneasy.
Not to mention that he is a son of the common people, even the nobles and nobles cannot resist these. There are very few people in the world who do not love wealth, and this does not include Bai Yan.
"Madam, Bai Yan wants to take four hundred gold and return to Shangjun!"
Bai Yan said to Bao Shi.
As the son of an ordinary family, Bai Yan also has a greedy heart, but it is precisely because he comes from an ordinary family that at this moment, Bai Yan looked at this box of gold and made a choice.
Under the mountains of Gaonu City, there are more than 4,000 small tombs, and there are more than 4,000 wooden plaques placed in a tent in the cavalry camp.
He wanted to go back with the gold and the wooden plaques, and send them back to the soldiers' homes.
That day, during the battle in Gaonucheng, it was he, Bai Yan, who led the soldiers to stay behind.
In the mountains, those soldiers followed him and fought with the Huns without any regrets.
This gold is tempting, but those soldiers who died in battle are more valuable than this gold in Bai Yan's heart.
Although if the gold is not divided, the soldiers will not say that they are cold-hearted, and those soldiers who died in battle will not die with eyes closed.
But he Bai Yan thought that he had no shame in going to Shangjun again, and he did not dare to face the more than 4,000 lonely graves again.
He, Bai Yan, came from a common people's family, and he could understand better than other generals and ministers what those soldiers meant to his parents and those common people's families.
The parents of the soldiers were waiting for the soldiers to return. Some of the soldiers' children had just been born, and some of the soldiers had not yet seen each other.
In some parents' homes, the unmarried girls of the soldiers still lived, waiting for the soldiers to return home to get married.
Red clothes become plain.
In the past, we said goodbye to each and every living soldier. Now, no one has returned. All that has gone back is a wooden sign.
Bai Yan couldn't imagine how painful it would be for those women who were supposed to be wearing red clothes and waiting for their loved ones to return on the day of their return, the parents of those soldiers, and the young children of those soldiers, when they saw no one but wooden signs.
Four hundred gold seems like a lot, which makes people's hearts beat faster when they see it.
But to distribute it to the soldiers who died in battle, not to mention the four hundred gold points, it was four thousand gold points, forty thousand gold points, Bai Yan didn't even think it was more than enough.
Because he is the commander of the cavalry, Bai Yan!
Those soldiers, those who follow each other in life and death.
How many soldiers followed him from Yangcheng, killing enemies together and spending the night together in the wild.
Along with the thoughts in his mind, maybe he was thinking too much, maybe he was imagining those pictures, his heart was heavy, and Bai Yan's eyes turned red.
In the study room.
Bao's beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan. When she was in Lantian, she didn't know what this look meant. She didn't hear about the incident in the restaurant until afterwards.
But now, seeing those eyes on the cheek of the young man in front of her again, she still didn't know why.
"General, we don't need much in the mansion. If we don't have enough, it's up to the general to decide!"
Bao Shi spoke softly.
If it was Bai Yan's words that made Ye and Huai's eyes turn red, then Bao's words would make them look surprised.
When they saw Baoshi with a smile on her face, it was only at this moment that Ye and Huai realized that besides her beauty, there were many things that shocked people.
Bai Yan raised his head and looked at Bao.
Looking at Bao's sparkling, smiling eyes, Bai Yan felt relaxed.
He didn't say the reason, but Bao Shi could understand him.
At this time.
The voice of a servant came from outside the study.
"General, there is a man named Lu Qi outside the mansion, asking to see the general!"
The servant's words brought Bai Yan back to his senses.
"Let him in!"
Bai Yan said, then looked at Ye and said, "Take out the four hundred gold!"
After saying that, Bai Yan looked at Master Xu.
"Get ready today, and come with me to Pingyang Bai Family early tomorrow morning."
After returning this time, I was destined not to stay long. The last thing I did before leaving was to take Master Xu to the Bai Family.
Let's see if Master Xu can remove Bai Yu's poison.
Let Bai Yu return to court.
"No! General!"
Master Xu nodded.
After a while.
Under the leadership of the servant, Lu Qi's figure came to the study.
As soon as he entered the study, Lu Qi saw a box full of gold on the floor, as well as the beautiful Bao Shi.
When I saw Bao Shi for the first time, even if I had seen all kinds of Lu Qi since I was a child, I couldn't help but sigh, because women like Bao Shi are very rare and generally not unknown.
Everyone is fighting.
Fortunately, Lu Qi came back to his senses almost instantly. Although Bao was beautiful, Lu Qi still knew the etiquette, and since this was Bai Yan's person, he would not have the slightest thought.
Lu Qi was just curious when Zhong Yan kidnapped such a stunning woman!
In the study room, when Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan and saw Bai Yan in official uniform, Lu Qi's eyes widened instantly.
"Is he really a general?"
Lu Qi opened his mouth wide and asked with joy.
Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Qi was still a little dazed until he saw Bai Yan put on the official uniform with his own eyes and saw a conspicuous pattern on the official uniform.
Zhong Yan, has he really been promoted to general?
"Congratulations to Zhongyan, congratulations to Zhongyan!"
After Lu Qi came to his senses, he thought that his backer had become Zuo Shuchang, a general with military power.
This gave Lu Qi more confidence than before, not just a tiny bit.
The gap between a general and a noble is as great as heaven and earth, and everyone knows it.
Bai Yan looked at Lu Qi's appearance and raised his hands to salute. However, unlike before when he was wearing Qin armor or wearing common clothes, now when Bai Yan raised his hands to salute, the huge cuffs would hang open.
"sit!"
Bai Yan listened to Lu Qi's words, and after the ceremony, he said softly and motioned for Lu Qi to sit down.
At this time, Master Xu was also on the wooden table, placing the tea cup and pouring tea.
When Lu Qi came over, he suddenly saw Ye Huai taking out the gold.
"Zhong Yan, what is this?"
Lu Qi was a little curious. The gold was so good, why should it be taken out?
Lu Qi came to the wooden table, knelt down and watched Bai Yan tell the story.
Soon, Lu Qi learned of Bai Yan's plan and understood Bai Yan's thoughts.
What followed was that Lu Qi was a little worried.
"Zhong Yan, this move"
Lu Qi thought for a while and then said it: "Where is the court, will you be afraid?"
In Lu Qi's eyes, Bai Yan's decision to distribute most of the bounty to the fallen soldiers had pros and cons. In terms of benefits, no one knew better than Lu Qi that Bai Yan could win people's hearts.
Because now Lu Qi, whether in Lu Mansion or Yingchuan, is using money to win people's hearts. As long as the timing and amount of money are given correctly, countless people will be willing to give up and there is no need to worry about loyalty.
But Lu Qi was also worried about the drawbacks.
After all, the people Bai Yan bought with gold were not other people's slaves, maids, or knights, but soldiers of the Qin State's cavalry.
"The king's grace is mighty!"
Bai Yan shook his head and gently picked up the tea cup.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Qi's face looking like he was constipated.
Lu Qi interrupted Bai Yan.
"Zhong Yan!"
Lu Qi was a little anxious and his expression was a little sad.
Seeing this, Bai Yan stopped joking.
"To be honest, I don't know either!"
Bai Yan said softly, holding the tea cup and taking a sip.
Bai Yan did not tell Lu Qi, but he had already informed King Qin Yingzheng of his true identity.
Bai Yan had also considered why he dared to distribute the bounty to the fallen soldiers.
Today in the court, Bai Yan saw so many generals and officials with his own eyes. This did not include Wang Jian, Meng Wu and other generals who were stationed outside. It can be imagined that if the entire Qin State's generals stationed outside were added up, the number would be terrifying.
So Bai Yan was betting that this move would not arouse the resentment of Ying Zheng, the current King of Qin.
And in Bai Yan's eyes, he, Bai Yan, distributes gold to the soldiers who died in the battle, not to other soldiers or generals.
This move can make the soldiers not afraid of fighting to the death, instead of trying to win people's hearts like Lian Po, Le Yi and other famous generals.
This is the biggest difference.
Bai Yan did not believe that in his memory, Qin King Ying Zheng, who dared to hand over 600,000 troops to Wang Jian, could not see this.
Today, the State of Zhao has Li Mu and Zhao Bianqi, the State of Wei has the remaining Wei soldiers, the State of Qi has martial arts warriors, the State of Chu has the elite Xiang family, and even the State of Qin has its own factions trying to maintain power.
His approach was beneficial but not harmful to the State of Qin and to Qin King Ying Zheng who wanted to send troops to attack the world.
In the study room.
Bai Yan put down the teacup.
"Zhong Yan, then we have to...?"
Lu Qi heard that Bai Yan was not sure, and felt a little uneasy, so he asked softly.
"cannot!"
When Bai Yan heard Lu Qi's words, he looked at Lu Qi and shook his head slightly.
He understood Lu Qi's worries.
But at the moment, no one is the King of Qin Ying Zheng, and no one understands the thoughts of the King of Qin Ying Zheng. What he knows better than Lu Qi is that in his memory, Ying Zheng has never doubted on the road to destroying the Six Kingdoms.
His ministers and generals.
Whether it is Wang Jian and his son, Meng Tian and his son, or even the Li family and Li Xin who are related to Li Mu.
King Qin Yingzheng also trusted him.
If it were any person, any king, how many could do what Qin King Ying Zheng did?
This is Bai Yan's greatest confidence.
This was also the reason why Bai Yan was willing to travel thousands of miles from Qi to Qin.
"All right!"
Lu Qi looked at Bai Yan with firm eyes and gave no more persuasion.
Thinking of the fact that there are so many generals in the Qin Kingdom, there are many generals such as Li Shi of Longxi, Chang Wenjun of Hexi, Yang Ruihe, Meng Wu and so on.
Comparing the troops and horses in the hands of these generals, Zhong Yan's remaining few thousand battle cavalry, even after being replenished, are far less effective than before!
There should be no problem.
Lu Qi, relieved, looked at Bai Yan and was about to say something.
Outside the study door, suddenly a servant hurried up to Bai Yan with a roll of bamboo slips.
"General, this is a letter from the Bai family in Pingyang!"
While the servant was talking, he handed the bamboo slip to Bai Yan.
After Bai Yan took it, he slowly opened it and looked at the contents.
Inside, Bai Yu told Bai Yan that the Bai family would prepare a banquet in two days. The Yongcheng nobles, the three elder clans of Mengbaixi in Yi County, and even the noble families from Xianyang and other places would all come to the Bai family.
After Bai Yan read it, he put away the bamboo slips and felt a little headache.
I almost forgot about this one.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a descendant of the Bai family in Pingyang. Now he is awarded the title of general. For the Bai family, it is an extremely grand and happy event.
"Madam, let the servants start preparing the banquet."
Bai Yan put down the bamboo slips, turned around and said to the Bao family.
I must go to Bai's place. After all, I have to take Master Xu to show Bai Yu the poison.
Lu Qi is here now. Let's have a family dinner here first.
Changping Jun Mi Qi will not be changed for now, because when I think of the scene, I will think that the TV series are all called Mi Yuan, and even the young masters are called Mi Heng and Mi Lan.
