Chapter 1913 Aftermath
Everyone was full of energy and excitement, their hearts were warm, their confidence was high, and their spirits were lifted - with a prefect like Lord Shao here, there was no need to worry about not having a good life in the future! Following Lord Shao was the right decision!
The future is bright and everyone feels full of energy!
I feel like better days are just around the corner.
It’s not like before, when I just lived my life in a daze.
Especially when everyone took turns to toast Lord Shao, they found that Lord Shao could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. His alcohol tolerance was really top-notch, and everyone was full of admiration for him.
He is worthy of being called Lord Shao who is able to defeat the bandits.
Countless yamen runners and constables regarded Lord Shao as their idol and worshipped him terribly!
The day after the celebration banquet, Shao Yunduan announced the reward list that he had already discussed with Jia Heming and others, and gave silver rewards to everyone.
The most ordinary yamen runner was rewarded with ten taels of silver each, while Jia Heming, Hang Xingshan, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Zheng Sangge and others received the highest reward of five hundred taels each.
The rest are available in numbers of 200, 100, 50, or 20.
This reward can be said to be very fair and just, and no one was dissatisfied. Everyone lined up to receive the reward, all of them beaming with joy.
Qiao Xuan also gave rewards to everyone in the back court. It wasn’t much, just three or five taels, just for the sake of creating a festive and lively atmosphere!
Jia Heming and his wife were both happy and moved. When Jia Heming returned home with so many silver bills, Mrs. Jia could hardly believe her eyes and smiled from ear to ear.
She knew that her husband would be rewarded, but she thought that ten, twenty or thirty taels would be enough to make her happy and satisfied. She had already thought about how to spend such a large sum of money if she really got it all at once. After much calculation, she had made a full plan.
But now that she had received five hundred taels, she didn't know how to spend it.
Lord Shao is a good man, and Mrs. Shao is also very good. The couple discussed that they had no way to repay Lord Shao and his family, so they would follow them wherever they went in the future. Anyway, following Lord Shao and his family would definitely not be a loss, and they could live a more meaningful life...
After rewards were given according to merit, the Fan family's property and many things looted from the three villages were auctioned off.
The bandits were unpretentious and lived a very rough life. Anyway, they did not have to engage in production or business. They would threaten the wealthy to give them what they needed, and rob them if they did not.
So there really wasn’t much in stock on the mountain.
In addition, when they broke into the mountain stronghold, the friendly troops who came to help took advantage of the situation and stole some gold and silver and took away some valuables, so there was even less left.
The gold, silver, grain, weapons, etc. were naturally confiscated by the state treasury, and only some jewelry, cloth, a few rare curios and ornaments were auctioned, as well as a few houses they secretly bought at the foot of the mountain.
Because they are related to bandits, these things are quite taboo and cannot be sold at a very high price. The real wealthy families are not willing to buy them at all.
In the end, they were all sold at a relatively low price.
Jia Heming did not have so many taboos, and he also bought a house covering an area of about three acres with three courtyards. The location was a bit remote, but it was also in the city of Anzezhou, but he only spent one hundred taels of silver.
Qiao Xuan didn't care about this, but she was the prefect's wife, and it was not nice to buy such things, so she resisted the urge to buy, feeling a little regretful.
After all, the price is really cheap!
Guan Shuli's house was also auctioned off.
Please give me monthly tickets, little fairies! Group hug~~
