”Why did you get up and kneel down? I didn't cause you any trouble. On the contrary, I even wanted to reward you! ”Reward …” Xiao Letian roared.
As a Leader, Xiao Letian was naturally prepared to receive rewards at any time, but this money was not for his civil officials and soldiers. The Chinese had a very complete system of recording military merits, and everyone's rewards were distributed according to the laws.
The Chinese people, especially the military and political systems, strictly forbade Qing Dynasty's private rewards that carried the feel of a master slave, especially when Chinese Army did not have all sorts of rewards. Even if they fought to the death with fewer people, even if they knew that their entire army would be wiped out, they would not rely on money to motivate them.
All the rewards would be given out after the battle, only after a detailed analysis by the system. No one would miss a single point or give you any extra points. Everything was accurate and fair.
However, the Chinese lived at the end of the nineteenth century, and the world outside the Chinese territory was old-fashioned and traditional. When dealing with the Qing Dynasty and other races, this kind of silver system was very necessary.
Liu Dadao saved Zai Chun's life, but he still wanted to be of great help to the Chinese Clan. However, Liu Dadao was still a Qing Dynasty person with a ponytail, and was not a citizen of the Chinese clan, so the internal workings of the Chinese clan did not need his help.
Under these circumstances, Xiao Letian could only activate the most traditional mechanism of the silver bounty.
With the command given, a guard took out a long roll of silver coins from the house. It was a hundred new Dragon-striated Silver Coin s, wrapped tightly in red paper to form a roll. This was the most common method used by Chinese merchants to store silver coins.
A hundred silver coins was the salary of a skilled blue-collar worker for around ten months. Although the money wasn't much, it wasn't small either. If he used it to reward the driver, then the credit would definitely be small.
”Thank you, Prime Minister, for your gift …” Thank you, Prime Minister, for your gift! ”This humble one kowtows to the prime minister, the prime minister is a thousand years old …”
Xiao Letian laughed out loud and patted his head, thinking that this brat was the loyal subject of the Qing Dynasty, after all, he would never forget the great principle of Zai Chun being the master.
The guard carried the leftover Trembling Flowers Soup and led Liu Dadao to look for the Tongzhi Emperor. Before they left, Liu Dadao was trying to ask the Prime Minister why he was rewarded.
Liu Dadao knew that it was definitely not because of his savior, the merits of his savior was naturally bestowed by the Qing Dynasty Royal Family, and 100 silver coins were not equal to the merits of his savior. In that case, the reward could only be related to this bowl of Foot Flower Soup, but where did the Prime Minister get such a unique bowl of Foot Flower Soup? How can you only know how to reward!
In the end, Xiao Letian did not give him a clear answer, and only said that the bowl of soup was delicious and suited his taste.
Looking at Liu Dadao who was getting further and further away, Xiao Letian snickered in his heart, ”This secret is my biggest secret, and not only is it my trump card in a social situation, telling you is telling the Qing Dynasty? ”No way, no way …”
”Men, send for Evil Doctor Huang to accompany me for lunch. I have something to talk to him about …”
Evil Doctor Huang was on another battleship, following his doctors to discuss about the plague at Suez Port. He never thought that the Prime Minister would meet him, this was something that had never happened before.
After all, Xiao Letian had the entire Chinese military and political power to worry about, it was already considered good to meet with these doctors and research groups in the next quarter. Sometimes, they could only report back to the Leader in writing.
Evil Doctor Huang was surprised that he was summoned by the Head of the Guards today.
”Call me alone? Isn't her name Doctor Ba Ke? ”
”No, the Head of State specifically told me to summon you alone. It shouldn't be about medical research, so you don't need to bring any tools …”
