Liu Mu listened to Zhu Pingan’s further explanation of hunger marketing, as if he understood, but also as if he did not understand, roughly in a kind of understanding and do not understand the tipping point.
Zhu Pingan is not surprised, after all, hunger marketing is beyond this era for hundreds of years, which is so good to understand, but the great man has a famous saying called practice inside the true knowledge, practice some slowly understand, then smiled and patted Liu Mu’s shoulder and whispered, “After a while you will understand everything.”
“Well, although I don’t really understand what you said about starvation marketing, but it sounds very reasonable. It doesn’t really matter if I don’t understand it, I’ll do whatever Gongzi says.”Liu Mu said with a trusting face.
Seeing the trust on Liu Mu’s face, Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but feel emotional, being able to meet Liu Mu and the others was their luck and even more so his own luck, having them by his side really helped him a lot.
Zhu Pingan after feeling emotion, firstly took out two ingots of ten taels of silver from his pocket and gave them to Liu Mu, “Brother Mu, since the day before yesterday when the Japanese invaders were annihilated and entered the city, we have rested for more than a day, and it is time for the celebration banquet to be held. You bring twenty silver, take people to the nearby market to buy a fat pig and a sheep back, the rest of the money you look to buy some food, wine can also buy a little less, today at noon to kill the pig and slaughter the sheep, coupled with the people to engage in the army to send food, we Zhejun open a celebration of the feast, the celebration of the feast on the exception of drinking half a bowl of celebration of the victory of each person, a shallow taste, mean a little.”
“Yes, sir.”Liu Zhuang received the silver, nodded vigorously, turned around and drove high.
“Oh yeah, you bring more soldiers, take these 1,500 taels of silver bills, plus the 300 taels from selling the secret knife sore medicine today, on your way back go to the money bank on your way back to exchange all of them for broken silver, preferably about one or two pieces of broken silver, and before the celebration banquet starts, hold a reward recognition meeting, and cash in on the bounty silver for killing bonobos that was previously promised to all of you.”
Zhu Pingan looked at Liu Mu’s back, suddenly slapped his forehead, he had been writing for too long and almost forgot about the important things, after remembering, he immediately called out to Liu Mu, took out a stack of silver bills from his pocket, counted 2,300 taels of silver bills, and gave all of them to Liu Mu, and told him to go to the money bank on the way to exchange the broken silver, so that he could give out the bounty to everyone.
Liu Mu did not reach out to receive the silver tickets, but looked up at Zhu Pingan, hesitated for a moment, finally could not help but bitterly open his mouth to advise, “Your Excellency, you have been worrying about your soldiers’ pay for some time now, and have been running around to raise money for the payroll. The imperial court pay arrears, last month’s pay to now the end of this month has not been allocated down, you can give everyone on time to pay the soldiers has been very difficult, this bounty is not issued also ……”
“Can’t, people can’t stand without trust!The promised reward silver must be honoured, so as not to lose the heart of the army!In addition, the previous period of time is really worried about the soldiers’ pay, but the day before yesterday, we eliminated the Japanese invaders, but from the Japanese invaders, we made a fortune, so we don’t have to worry about the pay for a short period of time, of course, even if there isn’t such a fortune, the reward silver must be honoured, this is the principle.”Zhu Pingan gently patted Liu Mu’s shoulder and firmly shoved the silver ticket into Liu Mu’s hands, insisting that Liu Mu be ordered to go to the money bank to exchange the broken silver.
“As you wish, Your Excellency!”
Zhu Pingan’s persistence and honesty made Liu Mu admire him, he looked at Zhu Pingan with full of admiration, nodded his head vigorously and accepted the silver ticket with both hands, his heart was overwhelmed with emotion, his own son was truly a great windman!To be able to follow their son is truly a blessing for them!
Liu Mu out of the handsome tent, met in the sun outside walking Liu Dazhou, Liu Dazhou learnt that Liu Mu is going to go outside the public thousand, live to pester to follow along, Liu Mu knows that he two days ago in the bed to recuperate wounds suffocated, has long wanted to go out to let off some steam, and now there is an opportunity to naturally do not want to miss, think about it also piggybacked on him, anyway, also to bring a lot of people to go out, more than one of him is not too much.
At noon, the Zhejian army camp came out bursts of pork, mutton aroma, fragrance floating for miles.
Pork, braised pork, braised pork ribs, stewed pork and mutton in a big pot, mutton stewed radish, mutton meatballs ……
A dish has a strong barracks characteristics on the table, meat is a large piece of meat, the bowl is a large sea bowl, completely meet the ideal of people eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large bowls, people can not help but salivate.
A table full of meat and wine food several cases around the temporary schoolyard set up a “back” shape.
In the middle of the zigzag of tables was an empty field.
“Hey, hey, the celebration banquet, look at that table full of delicious food, just smell the taste, this mouth is not to fight down ah.”
“Wow, see, there is also wine. When will we be seated, I can’t stand this craving anymore.”
“Hehehe, I followed Brother Liu to go outside the market to buy food, we celebrate this banquet just food ingredients spent a full twenty taels of silver, bought a pig and a goat and two big car vegetables, tell you ah, our battalion to buy this pig a full three hundred taels of weight it, the end of a big fat pig.”
Along with the wine and food on the table, zhejiang army all generals also in all levels of officers led down to the schoolyard, looking at the table of food, smell the smell of wine and meat, all the generals one by one flowed down the indisputable saliva.
“Hehe, the dishes are all served, everyone take a seat in the form of a troop.”Zhu Pingan, surrounded by Liu Mu and the others, stepped into the open field in the middle of the zigzag and said to the crowd of generals with a smile.
“Thank you, Ta-Jen.”The crowd of generals said a thank you and couldn’t wait to enter and take their seats under the leadership of the captain.
“Today’s meal is a belated celebration banquet for our Zhejiang army’s annihilation of the Japanese invaders in Shangyu the day before yesterday. At that time, the Japanese invaders besieged Yingtian City, tens of thousands of defenders of Yingtian City held out, it was my Zhejiang army that stepped forward to expel and eliminate the Japanese invaders, you are all good, today this celebration banquet is what you deserve.”
Zhu Pingan looked at the crowd with an approving face after all the generals were seated and said aloud.
“It’s all due to your lordship’s good leadership.”
“If it wasn’t for your lordship anticipating the enemy and planning ahead, we wouldn’t be talking about eradicating the Japanese invaders, I’m afraid we would have to capsize the ship ……”
The crowd of generals spoke up one after another, all holding Zhu Pingan in high esteem.
“Hehe, what should be your merit is your merit, no need to be polite. Oh yes, today’s celebration banquet, an exception can be made to drink wine, but each person can only drink a maximum of half a bowl of wine, more severe punishment. The captains of each unit should effectively take up the responsibility of supervising the unit to eliminate the phenomenon of drinking more alcohol in this unit.”
Zhu Pingan smiled.
“Alas, it’s a pity that such a good dish can only drink half a bowl of wine ……”
“Half a bowl of wine is not enough to stuff your teeth.”
Hearing that they could only drink half a bowl of wine, many soldiers could not help but lament.
“Alcohol is banned in the barracks, and today’s celebration banquet, the adults can make an exception and let us drink half a bowl of celebration wine, let’s just be content.”
“That’s right, it’s good to have something to drink.”
Some people were open-minded and were very contented as they advised.
“Before the celebration banquet begins, let’s delay everyone for a tea time.”Zhu Pingan smiled and said to the crowd, then clapped his hands.
Clap.
Accompanied by the sound of clapping, the crowd then saw eight soldiers, in groups of four, carrying two large, heavy boxes across the crowd into the middle open space of the zigzag.
“Open.”Zhu Pingan Langsheng said.
The eight soldiers responded by opening the boxes, and there was a burst of dazzling white light …….
“Ah, my dog eyes are going to be blinded, so much silver ……”
“So much silver ah.”
A crowd of soldiers immediately let out a loud scream.
“When our Zhejiang Army was first established, I promised all of you that for every Japanese pirate killed, I would reward you with thirty taels of silver. The day before yesterday, our Zhejiang Army killed fifty-seven Japanese invaders from Shangyu, and every Japanese invader killed is rewarded with thirty taels of silver, that’s one thousand seven hundred and eleven taels of silver. Now, this official is honouring his promise, the entire one thousand seven hundred and ten taels of broken silver in these two boxes are now all distributed to you.”Zhu Pingan pointed at the two boxes and said to the crowd of generals.
“Long live!”
“Long live your lordship!”
When the crowd of generals heard this, they were already in high chao before they even drank.
