In fact, Liu Pei also understood Qi Qitao's thoughts. His father was the village chief and had contacts with people from several nearby villages. People from several nearby villages had heard about the treatment of Liu Pei's subordinates, so they all came to Uncle Qi's house to inquire about whether Liu Pei still accepted people.

The situation in the nearby villages is similar to that in Fushan Village. Because of the lack of land, many young people have nothing to do, and they do not have enough to eat at home. I can only do odd jobs, or make a little salt to survive. When I saw that someone was taking in the family, the food was very good, of course, I couldn't wait to be selected. Although it is better to be in charge of the house than to starve to death at home! And if you can't die, maybe you can get ahead!

So although Liu Pei did not say that he received the family, everyone thought that Liu Pei was the family. If it weren't for the family, that person would let his subordinates eat a large piece of meat? Isn't that a loser? Seeing that Qi Qitao and these people are meat and eggs, everyone thinks that Liu Pei is taking in the family. It's just that Liu Pei has a good heart and didn't let the family change his surname. And it doesn't matter if you change your surname, who doesn't have one or two sons! Go out to beg for a living, and there are still heirs in the family. What's more, they are all generations of military households, and what they earn is money for their lives!

By the way, it was normal for the family to change their surname at that time. For example, Mao Wenlong, the handsome man of Dongjiang Town. He accepted dozens of righteous sons and grandsons, and all of them changed their surnames to Mao. At any time, as the head of an army or the head of a family, there must always be some trustworthy subordinates under him who can calm the field. Officers, in particular, are in particular in need of family members. In peacetime, he can help himself master the troops, and he can take the lead in rushing up in war. So the treatment of those family members is very good. I eat big fish and meat all day long, and I hold a lot of money!

On the other hand, the family depends on the head of the family to live. Therefore, they are also loyal to the head of the family or the general. They boil their bodies every day and practice martial arts diligently, just so that they can serve the general. It is a mutually reinforcing relationship.

This relationship began when the civilian government began to "drift" on a large scale of rations. Before the military salary left Beijing, it first drifted three floors. After the layers of deductions, there was nothing left when it reached the officer's hands. Rather than everyone sharing this amount of food equally, and everyone starves to death in the end, it is better to gather together to raise a few elite family members. As for the rest of the soldiers, as long as they don't starve to death, it's fine.

This is also one of the reasons for the direct decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. No matter how elite and powerful the family is, but without the assistance of ordinary soldiers, in the end, they are afraid that the ants will bite and kill the elephant! What's more, Houjin Tartar is not an ant! Many soldiers did not have enough to eat and wear. How can you have the heart to fight? So it's not surprising that they scattered in a hurry during the battle.

The so-called people are in good spirits when they are happy! Everyone knew the news that they might be promoted and raised in the future, and Liu Pei promised to pay when he went back, and the cars were still empty, so the time to go back was two days earlier than expected.

As soon as they came back to the village, everyone looked at the empty car, and then looked at the smiling faces of Liu Pei and others, and knew that the business was done, and everyone had a salary, so they were naturally warmly welcomed by the villagers.

That night, Liu Pei did not let them go back to the barracks, but let them go back to their respective homes. The purpose is to spread the word about everything on the road, so as to build up everyone's confidence.

Early the next morning, everyone arrived at the barracks on time. At the same time, a large number of villagers came to watch the excitement. Because everyone went home and told their families about today's salary and the bounty for killing, everyone came to see it!

In front of the camp gate, Liu Pei stood behind the table, and the pile of silver ingots on the table exuded a charming light, and everyone drooled when they saw it. Liu Pei didn't send the silver directly, he first called Qi Qitao to step forward, and then asked loudly: "Whose food are you eating?" ”

Qi Qitao, who had already been angry, replied loudly: "It's the head of the family's meal!" ”

Liu Pei asked loudly again: "Who do you take to pay silver?" ”

Qi Qitao replied loudly again: "It's the head of the family's salary!" ”

Then Liu Pei asked the third question loudly: "Who are you working for?" ”

Qi Qitao also shouted: "Sell your life to the head of the family!" ”

Then Liu Pei will give out a full amount of one or two silver. Every time the silver is issued, it will cause a discussion among the villagers!

When the money was finished, there was still a large pile of silver on the table. At this time, Liu Pei pointed to the soldiers who stabbed people yesterday. Each of these eight men received a full reward of 30 taels of silver. As soon as the 30 taels of silver came down, the villagers were no longer talking, but exclaiming!

When everyone else received 10 taels of silver, no one moved. Because at this time, they are all on fire in their eyes, and they can't wait to replace them! I want to join Liu Pei's team! This is exactly the effect that Liu Pei needs. Liu Pei wanted to use the mouths of the villagers to spread the news about his situation here, and the high-quality soldiers would naturally come over at that time.

And when everyone receives the money, he answers in a loud voice: "Whose food is eaten, whose money is taken, and who is given his life," which is also part of strengthening the ties between the upper and lower levels. At this time, the general righteousness of the country and the nation was not very clear, and there was no clear concept. Many more people are working for private purposes. So often the officers defect, and the people below also defect!

And now Liu Pei has the starting team of these 20 people, so it is necessary to strengthen the connection between the top and bottom. And he plans to pass on this ritual in the future. Let all the soldiers have to ask and answer loudly when receiving the silver to strengthen Liu Pei's own position.

Qi Qitao: After they finished receiving their salaries, they went out to exercise. The people who watched the excitement also dispersed. Liu Pei shouted to Uncle Qi, who was smiling brightly, and said, "Uncle Qi, this business negotiation is good, and I have made a lot of money!" So I'm going to find a way to make the villagers earn more money as well. ”

Uncle Qi immediately sobered up and said, "What are you doing?" You can rest assured that the people in the village will definitely give you the power to die! If you don't make a difference, I'll beat him to death! ”

Liu Pei said: "That's not it! The customer who received the goods this time said that the appearance of the things we packed the goods was too poor, which affected the selling price. So I wanted to hire a few skilled craftsmen to open a porcelain kiln and carpentry workshop, specializing in the production of porcelain vases and boxes. The box is beautiful, and the price is good. The villagers can also earn some pocket money by working in these two workshops. ”

When Uncle Qi heard it, he said yes. And took the initiative to say that he was responsible for Zhang Luo's two things. Liu Pei has been trained in the modern army and knows that the relationship between the military and the people is a very important part. But Liu Pei can't send them money directly. In that case, there will only be a situation where the promotion of rice and the fight against the rice will be revenged. Therefore, Liu Pei wants to give everyone the opportunity to develop work, and use the relationship of interests to slowly tie his own interests with the villagers, which is the best way.
