Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

"Your Highness's banquet is ready!" Li Yi stood under the high platform and shouted loudly. The huge cheers filled the audience and he had to amplify his voice.

"Yes." Qin Hao nodded, and then walked down the platform under the guidance of the guards.

Now that the good news has been announced, staying here will only make the residents more cautious. It is better to leave and let them celebrate to their heart's content.

It just so happened that Qin Hao also had a banquet and was ready to reward his subordinates for their hard work these days.

When he walked into the house, he saw that Zhuge Xuan and Chen Hu were already there, waiting for Qin Hao to arrive.

Qin Hao said something cold, then walked over and sat down at the front seat, waving his hand: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Several people said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!" and sat down individually.

Zhuge Xuan and Chen Hu sat on Qin Hao's left and right hands respectively, followed by Li Guo and Li Yi.

In addition to these people, the Nord guards, Shuntian Death Soldiers, Liaodong Cavalry, and Alai Archer Qin Hao each chose one person and arranged for them to sit at this table.

"I won't go home until I'm drunk today." Qin Hao raised his wine glass to greet everyone.

"Hahaha, you're welcome. Eat and drink quickly." Qin Hao took a sip, picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

It had been a long time since he had eaten such a delicious dish. When that mouthful of lard entered his mouth, his whole heart was excited, and he quickly picked up a few more pieces and put them in his mouth.

Everyone felt a little helpless when they saw His Highness being so careless in manners, but they didn't dare to show it. Then they thought that it was their blessing to meet such a person, so they started eating and drinking.

"Your Highness, let me toast you." Seeing Qin Hao drinking in full swing, Li Guo trotted to Qin Hao's side with a wine bottle and filled the empty wine glass.

"I'm interested!" Qin Hao looked at Li Guo and smiled and drank the wine in one gulp.

Li Guo is a very smart guy. He didn't even eat any of the food, so he came to pour wine for him.

Qin Hao also made a conclusion about him in his heart: he is not very talented enough to flatter him, so just because of this, he will not make big mistakes in the future, and he will be blessed.

"Go and have your meal quickly. Don't be an eyesore. I can't pour the wine myself." Qin Hao sent him back with a smile.

Li Guo was also sensible. After pouring the last glass, he slowly stepped back and toasted to the other people.

Qin Hao poured a small glass of wine and took in a panoramic view of the expressions of everyone on the table.

The cavalry and cutting soldiers were very well-behaved, just like in the army. They sat upright. Only Li Yi and a few of them said a few words to express their feelings when they toasted.

Uncles and nephews Li Yi and Li Guo were very enthusiastic and toasted everywhere.

Zhuge Xuan quietly ate the food but didn't drink. Chen Hu, on the contrary, kept drinking the food but didn't take a few bites.

"Chen Hu, you're just drinking." Qin Hao put down the wine glass in his hand, turned sideways and looked at Chen Hu, and reminded, "Eat some food and fill your stomach first."

"Yes," Chen Hu picked up his chopsticks and ate a few bites quickly, then said with a smile: "Your Highness, this wine is so good, I'm greedy for it."

"Hahaha" Qin Hao laughed twice without saying anything.

The alcohol content of this wine is only about 20 degrees, which pales in comparison to the 50 and 60 degree wines that Qin Hao drank in later generations, but now it seems that it is a rare and good wine.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors!

Qin Hao saw that most of the food on the table was almost eaten, so he didn't ask anyone to serve more food. Today, he didn't really have to get drunk or go home. There were still important things to deal with.

Looking up and looking at the side of the room, Zhuge Xuan immediately understood. He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, asked someone to bring him some bills, stood up and read them out.

The others were about to stop when they saw the situation. Qin Hao let them do as they pleased. There was still some food and wine left, so they couldn't waste it. Then he took a glass of wine and drank alone.

"Your Highness, this time we suppressed the rebellion in Gujiazhuang, annihilated a total of 12 rebels, and detained 579 rebels and their accomplices."

Qin Hao nodded to express his understanding. It didn't matter to him how many people were killed or imprisoned. These people were once civilians.

It's just that this time they happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. Not killing was not enough to deter them, so they simply didn't kill many. They only killed a few principal criminals, which didn't arouse much opposition.

"According to His Highness' previous promise, most of the people detained will be pardoned, and about fifty other accomplices will be punished with 1 to 3 years of hard labor."

"Um"

Qin Hao was very satisfied with Zhuge Xuan and did not let go of them all in one breath. As long as there were still people in their hands, the rest would not be able to turn the world upside down. When the population increased in the future, there would be no need to take precautions.

"Except for the population, everything in Gujiazhuang was used for military purposes by His Highness. A total of 53,000 kilograms of stalked rice, 10,000 kilograms of shelled rice, 35,000 kilograms of miscellaneous grains, 305 rooms, 65 swords, 12 iron guns, and 3 fire guns were collected branches, 6 horses, and 13 cattle.”

Zhuge Xuan kept talking about it for a cup of tea before he could stop. Qin Hao only listened carefully for a while, and then he was immersed in his own imagination.

He knew that he was going to make a fortune this time, and he would gain several times more than what he had gained by slaying the bandits before. This is still a small wealthy family who moved here, but he went to the Ming Dynasty to kill those corrupt officials who were unkind for their wealth. How much can he get if he falls to the ground?

Qin Hao had heard a rumor before traveling through time. After Li Zicheng invaded the capital, he ransacked wealthy officials and finally robbed a total of 80 million taels of silver. What kind of concept is this?

At that time, Chongzhen's annual tax revenue was less than 10 million taels, equivalent to eight years of tax revenue. If he had this money, Zhu Youjian's life would not be so miserable, and the people of the Ming Dynasty would not be so miserable.

When he thought of it, Qin Hao's eyes turned cold unconsciously, "It should be killed, it should be killed."

Qin Hao drank several glasses of wine before he could temporarily suppress the hatred in his heart. Today was a banquet for everyone and he couldn't let him ruin the fun.

Zhuge Xuan put down the account book in his hand and said, "I have discussed your future positions with His Highness.

Chen Hu was temporarily appointed as a guerrilla bandit suppresser and led his troops to continue to conquer the remaining small bandits in the mountains;

Li Guo was appointed as the civil affairs envoy, assisting Zhuge Xuan in handling civil affairs and managing money and food matters;

Li Yi was appointed as the military training commander and trained the people in each village to acquire martial arts. "

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"No need to thank me, this is all the result of your own efforts." Qin Hao looked at the smiles on Li Guo and Li Yi's faces and knew that they were satisfied with this reward.

As for Chen Hu, Qin Hao couldn't tell whether he was smiling or bitter, but he looked indifferent.

After the rewards were given and the food and wine were eaten, Qin Hao asked the three of them to leave.

When the three of them walked to the door, a person ran behind them. When the three of them saw that it was His Highness's bodyguard, they asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hello, my lords. Your Highness has something to discuss with Mr. Chen Hu. Please come with me."

Chen Hu responded and turned back.

Looking at Chen Hu's back, Li Yi asked in confusion: "Why did Your Highness call Brother Chen Hu back again?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Li Guo scolded Li Yi and told him not to mind his own business, "You'd better think about how to train your troops!"

"Chen Hu, it depends on whether you can survive this disaster. If you can survive, you will be successful. If you cannot survive," Li Guo didn't know what would happen. He knew that His Highness seemed to have discovered something.
