The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Old Zhu, don't talk about your family matters anymore, hurry up and take a look."

"The crucial moment has arrived."

"Dorgon and his men went through countless hardships, and several hundred people starved to death, before finally arriving in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"No, it should already be the capital of Li Zicheng's Great Shun Dynasty."

“Not accepting Dorgon means that he will have to conquer all the enemies outside the borders by force.”

"If Dorgon is accepted, more and more discontent will arise within Li Zicheng's Shun army. All it takes is an opportunity to incite infighting among them."

Zhao Kuangyin strained his eyes, trying his best to see the scene behind him through the countless bullet comments.

Not only did Dorgon arrive in the capital, but Han Xin also began recruiting soldiers.

Xiang Yu's side also went smoothly, with a steady stream of money, provisions, and all sorts of rare trinkets being sent back to Shanhaiguan.

After the treasury gradually became full, Liu Bang did not indulge in any pleasures; he simply made all his wealth public.

The first thing he did was to reward those who had contributed!

Whether it was Zhang the tailor or the others who had once deserted, they didn't think they were entitled to any reward.

Regardless of Liu Bang's promises before the battle, they did not have a legitimate status in their hearts.

After that battle, Liu Bang was able to give them a public identity, a legitimate reason to live, which they were already very grateful for.

As for this money and these provisions, even if Liu Bang showed them these things, they wouldn't feel that they had anything to do with them.

"Sir, are you showing off your wealth?"

"That's not a good habit. Don't flaunt your wealth. If you get robbed, your brothers will have to work themselves to death to get it back for you."

"That's right, the brothers are already exhausted, why are you making us envious?"

"Sigh, I'm so envious. You've already made a fortune, sir. We brothers still need to work harder."

Many people were envious when they saw the chests of gold and silver jewelry that Liu Bang had brought out.

But after a brief moment of fantasy, reality eventually returned.

No one felt that these things had anything to do with them.

Until Liu Bang spoke.

"effort?"

"Then you really need to work hard and try your best to move these things back."

"Before that battle, my lord said that if we defend the border and wipe out the Qing army, everyone will be rewarded according to their merits!"

"The Ming court will not grant you official status, but will grant it to you publicly; the Ming court will not be able to pay your rations and salaries, but will pay them to you publicly; the Ming court will not be able to provide your rewards, but will pay them to you publicly!"

"Consider this as compensation from your father for the previous rations and rewards from the battle. From now on, as long as your father has a bowl of soup, you will have a piece of meat to eat!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

What do you mean?

Is this money meant for them?

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

Even Li Zicheng, the incomparably benevolent and righteous leader described by those rebels, wouldn't do such a thing, would he?

Who would actually give up their hard-earned money to these people at the very bottom of society?

They were always there when it came to working hard, but they never got a share of the profits.

But now, what is going on?

What the hell is going on?

"This, sir, is this really for us?"

The tailor stammered, pointing incredulously at the mountain of money and silver and asking.

He had never seen so much money in his entire life!

"Of course, there should have been more, but we have to leave some to ensure your food supply."

"During this period, our logistics officer has led people to buy grain and meat from those landlords and gentry."

"From this day forward, please remember that the past is gone forever."

"If you risk your lives for me, I will naturally make sure you eat well and dress warmly, and that you can earn enough reward for your lives!"

“How much was your monthly salary before? Come forward one by one in a line and collect your salary for twenty years.”

"In addition, each of you will receive an extra one hundred taels of silver, which is your well-deserved reward for your meritorious service."

"Take as much as you can, but not as little as you can. Don't let your father take back the money we moved out today!"

At that moment, they were all stunned.

This includes Liu Bang's former personal guards.

"Has His Majesty ever been this generous before?"

"While he's not stingy, he shouldn't be this generous."

“It’s normal to be generous, after all, it doesn’t matter if we die in battle, but if they die in battle, they are really dead.”

"If I had so much money, I wouldn't know how to spend it."

Hearing the mutterings of the people behind him, Liu Bang's face darkened.

"They deserve this!"

“When has your father ever mistreated you? When we get back, you will all receive the same treatment, two hundred taels of silver each.”

"On the condition that Naigong wins this challenge beautifully!"

……

"Have they all been sent out?"

"Although I can understand that the money from this challenge was meaningless to the Emperor Gaozu, did he really not keep any for himself?"

Everyone knows that you have to treat your soldiers well in order to get them to truly fight for you.

But once you actually stand in that position, truly possess so much wealth, and enjoy pleasures at your fingertips, it's really impossible for an ordinary person to give it up and instead bestow these things upon those below them.

Even if it's just a challenge, Liu Bang wants to stay in that world until the challenge is completed.

"It's understandable that he doesn't keep any for himself, but sending them out so quickly, isn't he afraid of inflating their appetites and making it difficult to satisfy them later?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't think Liu Bang had done anything particularly good.

On the contrary, he felt that the money should not be distributed in this way, at least not all at once.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Once you've fattened their appetites, it's very difficult to satisfy them again.

"You think we should treat them like dogs to catch fish, and slowly swindle them, right?"

"So Zhao Heizi, I hate people like you who are scheming. When it's time to give, you should give generously."

"Just you wait and see, these people will all be willing to die for Emperor Gaozu."

"They won't have any of the problems you're worried about."

"Don't ask me how I know. Just the fact that they were all border soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and joined the army with the thought of protecting their homeland makes me certain!"

"Indeed, there are times when giving rewards requires methods and means, but these people certainly won't have any problems!"

Zhu Kuangyin disagreed with Zhao Kuangyin's statement.

He felt that the more he dealt with these people, the less he should beat around the bush!

"Wait, did you only see the image of Emperor Gaozu?"

"Can't you really see what Han Xin is doing?"

"Aren't you all curious about how Han Xin did it?"

"When he left the border, he only had a few thousand men, but now he seems to have over ten thousand soldiers under his command!"
