Zhao Muyun's face lit up when he heard this:
"Well, take me to see it!"
Han Zhong walked into Zhang Biao's residence and then pushed open a heavy chest of drawers with great effort.
"Head Zhao, this is it!"
Under the chest of drawers, the gap between a two-foot square stone slab was obviously much larger than the surrounding stone tiles on the ground.
Zhao Muyun took a look and said, "Han Zhong, go get a knife!"
How could he use the sword that Fan Nan gave him to pry this?
Han Zhong immediately found a sharp knife, placed it next to Zhao Muyun, and immediately turned around and walked out.
From his look, he must have thought that Zhao Muyun was going to deal with the money under the stone slab by himself, so he tactfully stepped aside.
"Huh? What are you doing? Pry it open for me!"
Zhao Muyun immediately called out to Han Zhong.
Han Zhong stood there in a daze.
"What are you standing there for? Since this is the salary Zhang Biao has withheld from everyone over the years, he should take it out and return it to everyone!"
Zhao Muyun glared at Han Zhong.
"Zhao Tou..."
Han Zhong's face turned red with shame.
He hurriedly picked up the knife and pried open the stone slab.
After removing the stone slab, there was a pit inside with a wooden box in it.
The paint surface is mottled, perhaps because the frontier area is dry and there is no mold or rot.
Han Zhong knelt on the ground and laboriously carried the box up and placed it in front of Zhao Muyun.
The box is quite heavy!
There was no lock, so Zhao Muyun opened the box.
In an instant, the glittering silver inside made his eyes light up. It was a box full of silver and copper coins.
Han Zhong also swallowed hard on the spot.
"Hurry up and count how many there are."
After a while, Han Zhong counted them out: 110 taels of silver ingots, about 10 taels of silver in small change, and 1,800 copper coins.
"I didn't expect Zhang Biao to be such a miser. He withheld everyone's military pay but didn't even spend it."
Zhao Muyun sighed.
"Boss Zhao, where is there any place to have fun in this frontier area? Zhang Biao has no home or family. I guess this money is for him to take away when he retires from the army!" Han Zhong explained.
"God will take its course, and no one will be spared!"
Zhao Muyun nodded slightly and said, "He withheld everyone's military pay, and now it can be returned to its rightful owner!"
When Han Zhong heard what Zhao Muyun said, he thought of how he had helped Zhang Biao bully everyone before, and immediately lowered his head.
Zhao Muyun thought for a moment and said, "Go out now and record all the military pay that Zhang Biao has withheld from them."
"Boss Zhao, are we going to distribute it to everyone now?"
"Now that it's in their hands, can they still spend it?"
Zhao Muyun shook his head. "Just register. Don't say anything else. We found out that Zhang Biao had hidden money, so keep it to yourself. If anyone else finds out, you know the consequences!"
Han Zhong repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry, Chief Zhao. If there's a third person on the beacon tower who finds out, I'll be the only one you can ask."
"Go quickly and come back quickly, I still have to arrange the next training plan!"
"Yes, Zhao Tou!"
Han Zhong straightened his body and agreed loudly.
After Han Zhong left, Zhao Muyun put the box back to its original place.
Then he cleared out all of Zhang Biao's things and cleaned the room again.
After finishing his work, Zhao Muyun sat down, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write:
Weighted cross-country run 5 miles round trip...
50 push-ups, adding 10 more each day...
100 sit-ups...
1000 spear thrusts...
Drill, standing at attention...
Learn to sing "Unity is Strength"
......
When Zhao Muyun finished writing the training schedule, Han Zhong hurried back and handed a piece of paper to Zhao Muyun.
"Boss Zhao, everyone has logged in!"
"When they heard I was here to count the military pay withheld by Zhang Biao, they were very enthusiastic and asked me if I was going to compensate them."
"I kept your words in mind and covered my mouth tightly, refusing to say a single word. Tang Yanhai almost attacked me!"
Being able to keep a secret is also a kind of ability.
No wonder Zhang Biao treated him as his confidant and ordered him around.
"Old Han, well done!"
Zhao Muyun asked Han Zhong to do this, firstly to test whether Han Zhong could keep the secret, and secondly to let him regain his favor in front of everyone.
After all, Han Zhong has lost face in front of everyone today, and almost everyone keeps their distance from him.
Zhao Muyun needs to unite his soldiers.
He took the statistical list, glanced at it, and nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Biao withheld half of everyone's military pay. The least was from Wang Tiezhu, who received 450 coins; the most was from Tang Yanhai, who received 17 taels.
Lao Zhang, Lao Li, Xiao Wu, Ma Liang, Tian Qing and others, ranging from 5 taels to 10 taels.
Everyone's military pay and years of service are recorded, so no one should falsify their information.
"Leave the list here, Lao Han. This is the training plan starting tomorrow. Take a look at it. If you have any questions, ask now!"
Zhao Muyun threw the written training schedule to Han Zhong.
"This...this...what are push-ups? What are sit-ups? And standing at attention..."
"We actually have to learn to sing a song. This is unheard of!"
"Zhao Tou, are these useful?"
Han Zhong took over the training schedule and was stunned with his eyes wide open.
He recognized the words on it, but when put together, he had no idea what they meant.
For a moment, my mouth was full of questions.
"These are all-round training to improve the individual combat capabilities of soldiers!"
