Ray Dawang did not show any consternation, he took out a neatly folded letter from his pocket and said, "This is how I solved the problem. ”

Renard took the letter and began to read it.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "You are similar to what I thought, do special things in special times. ”

Renard put away the letter and glanced at the people around him: "The current military salary is distributed as usual, and each sergeant is given three rations, which not only solves the livelihood problem of the sergeant's family, but also ensures that the stored food is not spoiled and wasted." ”

Nowadays, grain and vegetables are hard currency, and no one must be unwilling.

In addition, Lei Ye actually has another consideration, that is, people's hearts.

It is easy to raise wages, but it is basically impossible to lower them, especially military salaries, which will cause mutiny.

If the money is given directly, when prices plummet in the future and the value of the currency increases, I am afraid that the military spending will not be able to make ends meet.

The county of Meredith has only two options, disarmament and a reduction in the treatment of sergeants, both of which will cause indelible damage to the realm.

First of all, disarmament will be suspected of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and it is easy to lose the hearts and minds of the people, and at the same time, it will also reduce its own strength.

Secondly, the reduction of remuneration will also cause instability in the morale of the soldiers, and the morale of the non-commissioned officers will be low, which is more likely to breed corruption and perversion of the law.

Therefore, it is better to use food instead of military salaries, after all, there is no shortage of food in the territory now.

In the future, when the demon disaster is overcome, the price of food will be greatly reduced, and the sergeants will seem to be treated the same, but in fact, the military expenditure of the territory has been greatly reduced.

Even if a sergeant sensed the trickiness in this, he would not be able to gather a crowd to make trouble.

When food is expensive, I will give you food, and when food is cheap, you will ask me for money, where in the world is such a good thing?

After making a decision, Renard immediately ordered seven people to come up with a concrete plan on the spot.

In just two hours, the new military pay system of the Earl of Meredith was released, because it was only a temporary military pay system, so it was named: Interim Regulations of the Earl Meredith's Military Pay System.

The content of the regulations is very simple: the original treatment of the sergeants remains unchanged, and an additional 20 catties of flour, 30 catties of cornmeal, 30 catties of potatoes, 5 catties of bacon, and 5 catties of dried vegetables are distributed every month, which is enough food for three adults for 30 days.

Renard saw that there was no problem, with the current amount of material storage, it should be able to last for two or three years, but the premise is that the fields within the county of Meredith will not be invaded by demons.

He put the ordinance into an official document, handed it to Ray Dawang, and said, "Show this temporary ordinance to Heidi, and if it works, it will be implemented from next month." ”

Ray Dawang nodded, and carefully stuffed the file into the spatial ring.

Now that the problems that should be solved have been solved, and several people still have their own work to do, they just got up and said goodbye.

Renard took care of a few more urgent official duties, and then put all the materials in order, put them in the cabinet next to him, and then got up and walked out of the study.

When he came to the banquet hall of the Lord's Palace, he looked around twice and found that the entire hall had become completely unrecognizable to him.

The entire Lord's House had been cleaned, the old furniture and decorations had been replaced with new ones, the things had been placed in their original places, and the floor was covered with a brand new red woolen blanket.

Serena was directing the servants to work, and judging by her lively appearance, she finally had a bit of a hostess's posture.

The three daughters now have a clear division of labor, and they have the posture of protecting Lei Ye and preventing other women from seeing the stitches.

Heidi is in charge of the affairs of the territory, Serena is in charge of food and clothing, and Betty is in charge of etiquette and receiving guests.

That is to say, in addition to being able to contact the army, Lei Ye was taken care of by the three daughters in other aspects.

Renard is also happy to be idle, isn't the third daughter afraid that he will hook up with other women.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, if he wanted to hook up, he would be locked in a cage and still not get in the way.

Lei Ye's arrival immediately attracted Serena's attention, and with a smile on her face, she trotted over and asked, "How am I arranging?"

Renard was naturally amazed: "The layout is really good, more than ten times stronger than before." ”

The smile on Serena's face was even brighter: "This is entirely Miss Heidi's skill, and she has set aside a special grant of two hundred gold coins for this banquet to renovate the lord's mansion. ”

Renard nodded nondeniably, and then focused his attention on the other party.

Serena wore a brand new dress today, not the usual clothes of the past, but a long sky blue dress embroidered with delicate patterns.

Renard's eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't expect this girl to become more beautiful after changing her clothes, and her appearance and temperament had to be added at least two points.

He couldn't help but admire: "The clothes are so beautiful. ”

Serena's face flushed when she heard this, and then she turned around twice in place, and said, "Lady Connie sewed it herself, and I originally wanted to wear it on the day of the banquet, but I thought it would be a pity to leave it alone." ”

It is human nature to love beauty and vanity, even a high king cannot eradicate these two psychology, and it is even more impossible for this little girl in front of her to be from a bad background.

Renard smiled: "Go and customize a few more sets, and I'll pay for it." ”

As soon as the words fell, an extremely unkind voice suddenly came from the door of the banquet hall: "Oh? It seems that you still have private money!"

Lei Ye's expression stiffened suddenly, and he turned his head with some difficulty, just in front of the sharp corners of Haidi's eyes.

He swallowed and said embarrassedly, "I saved it before." ”

Heidi didn't dwell on this, she looked at the layout of the banquet hall, and her expression was very satisfied: "This money is not spent in vain. ”

For this harvest festival, she can be regarded as having made a bloody investment.

Heidi looked at Renard and said, "I have already read your provisional regulations on military salaries, and I will issue an official announcement this afternoon, which will be implemented from next month." ”

I have to say that everything that involves one's own interests will be solved very quickly.

Immediately afterward, Heidi's focus was on the harvest festival.

This year's harvest festival was different from usual, with many nobles and lords feasting, and at the same time, there was a grand military parade, which had to be taken seriously.

"How prepared for the parade. She is most concerned about this issue, after all, it is a matter of face.

Renard thought for a moment and said truthfully, "Barely passed." ”

Lei Ye is a person who has seen countless grand military parades, so the performance of the territory sergeant can only be regarded as very ordinary.

However, in the eyes of Henry and others, it is enough to show the majesty of the county of Meredith.

However, Heidi was in charge of government affairs, and she didn't know what to do, and when she heard Lei Ye say this, her brows suddenly wrinkled, and she advised: "It's good to hurry up and train, don't lose face on the day of the harvest festival." ”
