The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 345: Rewarding a Marquis
Lin Hai's caravan was very fast. After getting the news, it set off immediately and came with provisions to meet them.

It solved the urgent need for the army.

With enough food and grass, the army can return safely.

Lin Hai heard that he had been arrested by the Turks, but did not tell his family.

This was a sigh of relief.

When I was in Turks, I was worried about Qiaoer and the others.

Lin Tiangui and Yuhua Shi both handled it well.

Lin Hai did not delay at the border and followed the army back to the capital as quickly as possible.

They were almost going crazy missing Qiaoer.

I never want to lead troops in a war again.

Yuhuashi has become a qualified general, and even Wang Dayong and the others can take charge alone.

The Northern Expedition Army can be regarded as the strongest army in Daxia.

It has expanded to 5 people!

After counting the people lost in this military expedition, Lin Hai felt very heartbroken.

Including the attack on Tibet, the number of casualties exceeded 5000.

For Daxia, although it has achieved an unprecedented victory.

But the same more than 1 families were separated as a result.

"Your Majesty, how much pension can one person get for these dead and wounded soldiers?" Lin Hai asked.

"The dead and injured were given more this time, at least 50 taels of silver.

Enough for a family to live for ten years. Lin Tiangui said.

Lin Hai was silent after hearing this.

The life of ordinary people is indeed very hard. A pension of dozens of taels can only allow them to live a basic life, just enough to eat and not be hungry.

The money is simply not enough to send their children to school.

"Let's do this. I will take out some more money and add an additional 50 taels of silver to each person's pension."

Lin Hai said.

"Ah? This is not a small amount of money!" Lin Tiangui was surprised.

"It doesn't matter, I can still afford the money. When winter comes, I can make more money." Lin Hai replied.

Because whether it is attacking Tubo or sending troops to the Turks.

The former was caused by Lin Hai's own efforts, while the latter was done to save himself.

Lin Hai really felt a little guilty after so many people were killed and injured.

“Our tea business is good, and we have sold it to several small countries such as Jin Kingdom and Khitan.

I will also use some of the money to give to the families of the dead and injured soldiers! "Yuhuashi also said.

After all, he was the coach in name, and Lin Hai had already spent so much money, so it would be unjustifiable if he didn't express his gratitude.

I make a lot of money from doing business, and I can’t even spend it all.

Yuhuashi is also willing to use this money to help the families of the dead and wounded soldiers.

In this way, the soldiers will be more grateful and naturally fight more bravely in the future.

"Well, this is a good thing! From now on, the army will be led by you sooner or later.

It would be a good thing to take the opportunity to gain the military morale of the soldiers! Lin Tiangui thought for a while and did not object.

With so much money, the family members can live well even after casualties.

This allows these soldiers to have no worries and will only be loyal to them with all their might.

Daxia gained a lot from this battle.

Occupying most of Tubo's territory, they also wiped out their money.

Now that Daxia's treasury is full of money, it is not timid at all even if it continues to fight.

I returned to the capital and received a warm welcome.

For the first time, the Daxia army completely defeated an enemy country and won two victories.

Lin Hai saw Qiao'er and Lin Ruoxue standing on the side of the street waving hard to him.

His cheeks turned red with excitement.

Lin Hai smiled at them and gestured.

Then he dismounted and met Gong Yanwu together.

After winning the battle, Gong Yanwu's prestige in the court was completely established.Not only did he fully control the military power and the people's hearts.

And it also has the support of the five major families.

It formed a crushing force on those powerful officials, and many decisions were implemented directly without consulting them.

Seeing that Lin Hai finally returned safely, Gong Yanwu was extremely excited.

First, let’s talk about merit appreciation!

Lin Hai was directly awarded the title of Marquis and became a top dignitary.

This reward was a surprise to everyone. They didn't expect it to improve so quickly.

The Yuhua Stone was also enshrined as an earl.

Although neither of them has been promoted, everyone knows.

This is because neither Lin Hai nor Yuhua Shi like to be officials.

So I can only be knighted.

After the reward, Gong Yanwu met Lin Hai in private.

As soon as Lin Hai arrived at the bedroom, Gong Yanwu pulled him to the bed.

After a long time, all the energy was finally exhausted.

Gong Yanwu lay tenderly in Lin Hai's arms.

"Do you know that when I got the news that your Turks had been captured, I was really worried to death.

I wish I could mobilize all the troops immediately to rescue you.

But those powerful officials began to become restless again.

Only a part of the army can be left to guard the capital. "

"I miss you very much there, and I also believe that troops will be sent to rescue me.

The Turks wanted to know how to make artillery and grenades through me.

It didn’t make me suffer. Lin Hai replied.

"As long as you can come back safely, I will be relieved.

Nothing else matters.

It doesn't matter if I tell them how to make the cannon.

After being away for so long, I feel more and more unable to lose you. "

"Don't worry, even if they imitate gunpowder and grenades, it will be useless.

Because only I know the ratio of gunpowder.

They use the gunpowder of ordinary fireworks, which is not that powerful at all.

It won't pose much of a threat to our Daxia.

And I plan to make some more powerful weapons to defeat all enemy countries as soon as possible.

After this war, although we have won the battle.

But the small countries of Jin and Khitan are also wary of us.

In the future, when they attack the Turks, they will lead their troops to support them.

We must prepare in advance to defeat them completely. Lin Hai said seriously.

I want all people to live a peaceful life.

All enemy countries must be destroyed.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want! I fully support it!
But I can’t do such dangerous things again in the future.

Even if you are leading troops in battle, you have to stay behind. "

Gong Yanwu warned.

"This kind of thing will never happen again! As long as there are enough weapons, any enemy will no longer be Daxia's opponent.

It would be nice to take the opportunity to free up your hands to deal with those powerful officials.

Put all power into your hands.

In addition, the little emperor must be well-educated, so that he cannot become a faint king in the future and be at the mercy of powerful ministers. Lin Hai said seriously.

"I have asked the Grand Master to teach him, and he is doing quite well in his homework."

Lin Hai shook his head: "Just studying alone is not enough, but we need to let him know that the life of ordinary people is not easy from an early age.

You need to get in touch with and understand everything, not just read good books. "
