Chapter 68 Head Trading
As soon as Lv Zhixian heard the news that Xishan Village had been attacked by rebels, he suddenly became nervous. He quickly took several servants out of the gate to appease Li San and others, but after coming out, he found that the servants of Xishan Village guarding the gate outside the gate were two old gods, and they should eat. , the time to sleep, the value of the whistle, not at all, no one showed nervous or worried look.
There is only Li San, who is now standing on a roof on the edge of the hall, holding an unknown copper pipe and looking out. He doesn't know what the copper pipe is for. He can see anything from there.
But when he saw Li San's expression, he seemed to be a little wrong. He was not worried or nervous. He couldn't tell what the expression was. After thinking for a long time, he felt that this expression should be a depressed expression. He didn't know why Xishan Village was disturbed by the rebels at this time. What was Li San was depressed.
So he stood under the room and asked Li San above.
Li San turned his head and saw Lv Zhixian below. At this time, the situation was a little funny. Usually, he was always a high official, but now he raised his neck and carefully asked Li San, who he usually felt owed by looking straight at it. Li San felt much better now.
Although I didn't get any achievements today, it is also a good compensation to enjoy the pleasure of condescending and talking to the magistrate. Other people do not have this kind of treatment. In ancient times, ordinary people are not human beings in the eyes of officials. In the eyes of officials, soldiers are even more like slaves. Xiaomin sometimes You may never see the official side in your life. Even if you occasionally meet an official's car on the road, you have to kneel by the roadside and bow your head.
It is absolutely rare for an official like today to stand below, look up at Li San's buttocks and ask questions. Therefore, Li San felt much better when he saw this situation. He proudly turned around and jumped down the roof and replied to Lv Zhixian with his fist: "It turned out that Master Zhixian came! Just now, it was estimated that a group of rebels ran to our Xishan Village, but the magistrate don't have to worry. The little people the rebels went to are not enough for our Xishan Village at all. At this time, it is estimated that the rebels should have been almost all killed by our remaining brothers!
By the way, Lord Lu, you came here just in time today. There is something I want to discuss with Lord Zhixian! You see..."
With that, Li San glanced at the servants who followed Lv Zhi County. Lv Zhi County immediately realized that Li San did not want more people to know about this, so he waved his hand and said, "You guys retreat first! I chatted with Li Zhuangshi!"
When the servant heard about it, he quickly bowed and retreated. Li San took Lv Zhixian to a small courtyard and said to Lv Zhixian, "Lord Lv, you see, today we have killed dozens of rebel generals. This small head has been sent to cut back and piled up in the yard. At present, Lord Zhao is offering a reward in the city, but anyone who cut one The head of the traitor will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the head of the traitor will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
These heads can be checked by adults today. There is no one who kills good and risks merits!
In addition, although the situation in Xishan Village is not very clear at this time, it can be roughly guessed. Just now, it is estimated that many rebels have been killed there, and it is estimated that there must be a lot of people!
Liu said that we grass-civilians just make some money, but it's useless to have more people. We don't want to be promoted. What's the origin? These people are of no useless except for exchanging some money.
So today, the young people dare to discuss with the adults. If someone wants these heads, it's useless for us to keep them. Therefore, as long as anyone puts a high price, the small ones can make the decision for our master and buy these heads. I don't know if the adults are interested?
At this time, Lv Zhi County is extremely shocked by what Li San said just now. Although the rebels went to Xishan Village, although he does not know how many people have gone, he can be sure that the number of people will certainly not be too small, because Xishan Village is famous locally, and the village wall is tall and strong. If there are few people, it will definitely not be of much use.
But Li San didn't seem to worry at all. He actually said so lightly that Xishan Village must have destroyed the whole army of those rebels by now.
He couldn't help feeling shocked and felt a little dizzy. For a moment, he couldn't figure out how strong Liu was. At present, he had photographed more than 200 brave villagers to come to Mouping County to help defend. Originally, he thought that there were not many rural soldiers in Xishan Village, but according to Li San said It seems that the remaining strength there should be very strong, and they don't pay attention to the rebels at all.
Think about it, these villagers in Xishan Village have a large number of such sharp birds in their hands. If the rebels are careless, they will definitely suffer great losses if they can't do it well in the past. Therefore, Liu of Xishan Village seems to have hidden a lot of strength. In the future, this Xishan Village must not be provoked, otherwise it will definitely cause big trouble. .
When he was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Li San to put forward such a thing. When Lv Zhixian heard it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Daming's meritorious merit award has always had to be counted by killing the enemy's soldiers. After the event, it is also necessary to test how many people have been cut down before the meritorious deeds can be rewarded. This is a control strategy set by Daming in order to control the military generals to talk nonsense and falsely report their achievements when they fight outside. However, this strategy has also led to many drawbacks.
First, officers and soldiers go out to fight. Sometimes they are afraid of the enemy and dare not fight with them, but they are afraid of being investigated later. Therefore, in order to deal with their errands, they kill innocent people indiscriminately and kill good people. Now this situation is very popular, which can be said to have attracted the deep disgust of ordinary people.
In addition, even when the officers and soldiers are fighting with the enemy, once they kill and injure the enemy, many soldiers will not listen to orders and run to rob the enemy's head in order, so that many times, they have just gained an advantage, but because of fighting for the head, they will mess up their feet. As for being counterattacked by the enemy, it eventually lost its advantage and led to a defeat in the battle, which is also very common.
And if several officers and soldiers of different subordinates fight together, it is not uncommon for you to fight for success on the battlefield, causing a delay in the fighter plane, and even leading to internal strife in the end.
So in this era, human heads are quite popular for many military generals, especially the heads of serious enemy soldiers, which makes these people flock to them, which represents their military achievements. With these heads, they can make them smooth. At least there is no problem to maintain the current status.
Now Li San proposed to sell the rebel head, which is undoubtedly quite ** for Lv Zhixian, because now he guards the north gate and also needs people to prove his credit.
And these people, Li San, obviously don't value it, because he is a civilian. In addition to getting a reward, it is a little difficult to get a birth. Obviously, Li San is different from Liu. He doesn't value the matter of getting a birth, so he wants to exchange some money for some money.
Now on the side of Ninghai Prefecture, in order to resist the rebels' siege of the city and boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city, Zhao Zhizhou has publicly offered a reward the day before yesterday and posted a notice in the city, announcing that anyone can get a reward of five taels of silver as long as they cut off a rebel head. If it is the head of a rebel general, he can be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
This reward is not too high, but it is not too low. It is still quite powerful for civilians and soldiers.
This morning, the rebels tentatively attacked the north gate and were killed by Li San. These dozens of heads were quite a good harvest. Even if they were exchanged for silver, it was worth at least two or three hundred taels of silver.
But Li San doesn't seem to be satisfied with using these heads in exchange for five taels of silver. He actually wants to *turn these heads in exchange for more silver.
Now the government has publicly rewarded. If someone wants these heads, they will definitely have to pay more money. Although the price is a little expensive, Lv Zhixian believes that some people will still want these heads.
Although you want to spend some money to buy people's heads, it is obviously much safer and quite worthwhile than killing Liang and being exposed afterwards.
Therefore, it is estimated that there are many people who want a head now. At present, the rebels have not attacked the wall, so even if several rebels are shot, the bodies are outside the city, and the defenders dare not go down to behead people.
So far, as far, as far as he knows, no one has got the head of the rebels. If this battle comes down and defends the city, then those who have no head on hand will suffer considerable losses in terms of meritorious deeds afterwards.
Fortunately, because of the soldiers in Xishan Village, there is no shortage of people, and according to Li San just said, he seems to be very sure that there should be many rebel heads in Xishan Village. He can't eat so many heads, and he doesn't need too much. Dozens of heads are enough for him, at most one Two hundred is enough.
But if there are enough rebels in Xishan Village, then he must not be able to eat it himself, so he might as well let his colleagues share it. At least these people will definitely accept his feelings afterwards.
Although this kind of thing is not an open and upright thing, if you say it to let people know, it may be handled by others, but at this time, not many people care about this matter.
So after ponderating, Lv Zhixian looked at no one around, coughed dryly, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know how much money Li Zhuangshi wants to sell for a human head?"
(I found an error. In the chapter in the morning, Lv Zhixian was written by mistake, and the pen was written as Li Wenyuan. It should be Lv Wenyuan. In addition, my daughter transported water this afternoon and came back late and updated it a little late! Please forgive me! And thank you for the reward of 256958 friends!)
