"There are also corrupt officials..." Ren Qi spoke again.

Before he could finish his words, Wang Fuzhi interrupted him and said, "The court will investigate corrupt officials! In order to ensure that the relief money is spent on the victims, the court not only sent out censors to supervise, but also dispatched the Jinyiwei and Dongchang guards."

"Once the disaster relief is over, the Imperial Censorate and the Imperial Guard will conduct a thorough investigation of the local officials."

"Then... I feel relieved." Ren Qi breathed a sigh of relief and took a half step back.

He is the nominal leader of the Yuyuan Army and is responsible for everyone.

Although the court's measures were not perfect, there were no major problems with them.

Overall, I am quite satisfied.

"Next is the placement of all of you," Wang Fuzhi said seriously.

Everyone immediately perked up and straightened their backs to listen attentively.

Wang Fuzhi's previous words only involved the collective interests of the Yuyuan Army, and what followed was the personal interests of their leaders.

"After accepting the amnesty, you can stay in the army and serve. As for the official positions...it will depend on how many qualified soldiers you have. The one with the most soldiers will be given the rank of Battalion Commander (rank 5), the next one will be given the rank of Thousand Commander (rank 6), the next one will be given the rank of Captain Commander (rank 7)...and so on."

Even though there are tens of thousands of rebels, most of them are just there to make a living, and there are only three to five thousand truly qualified soldiers at most.

According to the establishment of three to five thousand people, the maximum amount that can be awarded is the battalion commander.

Wang Fuzhi added: "Don't think your official position is low. Being a soldier in a war mainly depends on merit to get promoted. As long as you can make merit on the battlefield, promotion is common."

"Fight? Where is the war?" Ren Qi asked.

"Of course it's Liaodong! The Ping Liao army has already recaptured Ning and Jin, and will be heading to Guangning next. The entire Liaoxi Corridor needs a large number of soldiers to guard it." Wang Fuzhi replied, "But you can't go now. You need to train in Shandong for a while. You can take this time to get married and start a family to continue the family line."
