Chapter 24: On Merit and Deeds
The name seems familiar, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he opened the letter.
The contents of the letter instantly made Jiang Hao recall the identity of General York.
In order to stabilize each city, the Kingdom will set up troops around these cities, especially such border cities, which is the focus of the Kingdom's eyes.
This General York is the general stationed in Moonlight City. He has monopolized the power in Moonlight City, which is considered a unique figure.
In this letter, it is said that Shilk gave the robbed goods, money, and women to General York as tributes.
The letters were full of flattery, and it seemed that Shilk and General York had a deep relationship.
Now, the things these robbers do should be instructed by General York.
Their robber group has been extremely arrogant recently and has even killed nobles, which is a taboo in the kingdom.
Normally, the army of Moonlight City should have known that it would come to suppress the bandits for a long time.
But now there has been no movement, which has basically confirmed Jiang Hao’s speculation.
Jiang Hao's brows frowned slightly. This was indeed not good news for him.
The news that Flower Town destroyed this group of robbers would inevitably spread at an extremely fast speed.
At that time, General York will most likely cause trouble for himself.
Soon he threw these things behind his mind. Since he had done all these things himself, there was no need to continue to look forward to it.
At worst, it’s just that the soldiers come to block the enemy and the water comes to cover the earth.
At this time, the soldiers were already searching for spoils, and these robbers were actually quite rich.
During this period, they also stole a lot of places and many businessmen.
Although part of it was contributed to General York, there were also many of them.
These robbers themselves have a habit of loving to carry their savings with them.
Most people who will become robbers no longer care about them, so there is no need to leave these savings to anyone.
It has always been their habit to keep it with you.
After all, this money will not be handed over until they die. Since they die, it is useless to keep the money.
The robbers' trophys combined have about a thousand gold coins.
It is equivalent to every robber having almost five gold coins on it, and two of the robber leaders immediately had a total of five hundred gold coins in their bags.
Jiang Hao has never been a stingy person. After getting all these combat powers, he began to reward him according to his merits.
Since it is a reward for merit, it is naturally the best place to be public.
Jiang Hao stood above the city wall, and below was a scattered area. The two thousand people in the entire town had already arrived here.
Even the elderly who were unable to move came here with the help of their relatives.
At this moment, many town people also had an unconcealed pride and joy on their faces.
The reputation of the Hilk Bandits is well-known, and even they have heard of it many times.
There are two towns nearby, and they were robbed some time ago.
Both the two towns have far surpassed the Flower Town in terms of economic strength and number of people.
But this time the Hilk Robbers fell here, which is indeed an exciting thing.
Many townspeople cheered Jiang Hao's name at this moment, and their loyalty gradually increased.
The improvement of the sense of security can also greatly strengthen the townspeople's belonging to the town and increase their loyalty.
"Everyone, it is the credit of our heroic soldiers to defeat these robbers this time, and it is also the credit of everyone in the town. Here I would like to thank you as the lord."
Jiang Hao bowed slightly to these townspeople.
Jiang Hao's approach made the townspeople feel incredible, and bursts of cheers came from the crowd.
You should know that aristocrats and civilians are two completely different classes. Jiang Hao's approach is undoubtedly breaking this barrier.
Many town people were particularly moved, and their sense of belonging to the town was naturally improved.
"Since this time is already a victory, it is naturally necessary to reward merits!"
"State Cory!"
Jiang Hao said with great enthusiasm.
After saying this, Old Cory came to Jiang Hao with proud steps.
"This time, Sheriff Corey, you have made great contributions. You are the hero of our Flower Town. Here is a reward of 100 gold coins."
Jiang Hao spoke slowly.
As soon as this sentence was said, all the townspeople burst into screams.
What is the concept of one hundred gold coins?
An ordinary town citizen may only save a gold coin in five or six years, while one hundred gold coins are the income of an ordinary town citizen for hundreds of years.
Even if the current old Keli retires directly, he will live a good life for the rest of his life.
After hearing this, Old Corey's body was trembling slightly.
He doesn't care how much it costs, but these hundred gold coins and that hero are the best rewards for him.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, please rest assured. In the future, my Corey will definitely work harder to exercise my duties for the sake of the town."
Old Corey said firmly, tears seemed to flash in his eyes.
This reward on merit and conduct continues, and Jiang Hao's reward is also very generous for those ordinary soldiers.
In addition to the rewards in terms of money, they also have rewards in terms of official positions.
Among fifty people, Jiang Hao chose five team leaders in total, all of whom were brave enough to take the lead in the battle.
After selecting these people, Jiang Hao did not let the reward of this meritorious deeds come to an end.
Looking at the excited townsmen, Jiang Hao spoke again: "In addition, Master Filodor in the blacksmith shop, two intern blacksmiths, Captain Chuck, and several outstanding farmers will also receive rewards!"
After Jiang Hao said this, the whole scene fell into a brief silence.
But after this silence, the cheers of the townspeople were already even louder.
Most of the people mentioned under the city wall were confused.
Especially those ragged farmers, their expressions were very surprising.
In their opinion, commending such things has always been a matter of no chance with farmers like them, but who knew that they had fallen on their heads.
"You are unknown heroes, you should be respected. No one in Flower Town is unnecessary. You can all become heroes of Flower Town!"
After these words were said, they continued to impact the inherent three views of these indigenous people.
But after Jiang Hao finished speaking, waves of applause rang out like a storm.
