The people below stood neatly all afternoon, their legs were almost no longer their own, seeing that it was getting dark, and when it was time for dinner, when Ye Fu walked in, it was Lu Ding's stomach that happened to growl.

The silence in the hall was extremely abrupt, and Lu Ding suddenly blushed in embarrassment.

Ye Fu glanced at him, walked up the steps from the middle passage, sat down behind the desk, and said casually: "What?" Hungry? That old fellow of Trinidad, gave you a puppet, didn't you send you some Portuguese food? ”

Lu Ding couldn't wait to dig a crack in the ground and hide it.

Ye Fu snorted and said, "Why don't you speak?" Could it be that I wronged you? ”

Lu Ding could only be listed, bowed down and said: "Guilty of despicable duties, please punish the marshal." ”

Ye Fu said: "I have nothing to punish you, and you are the same." You just want to see me, I do, is there anything else? ”

Lu Ding stubbornly said: "Dashuai, in fact, the lowly rank only has some small opinions to say about this new establishment, if the marshal is unwilling to listen, the lowly rank will not dare to talk more." You will do as you are told. ”

"Just do it?" Ye Fu smiled, "What? I still have a temper! Am I coaxing you too much on weekdays? Why do you have to break everything up and crumple it before you can understand? ”

Lu Ding said: "Marshal, the lowly rank has no such intention, but the idea of the lowly rank is considered to be insufficient weapons, and it will not reduce the establishment." My dangerous mountain army is the time to employ people, if it is downsized at this time, isn't it weakening its own strength? Please think twice! ”

Ye Fu listened, and his face turned gloomy again.

"And say no!" Ye Fu said, "You, you! Rats' eyes! I know you're thinking about something! Isn't it just that some people were originally high-ranking officials, and they had a lot of men and horses under their hands, but this time they were greatly reduced, and they could obviously be brigade commanders, but they became regiment commanders. Originally, the general establishment written on the abbreviated table seemed to mean that although the rank of the army had been lowered, the number of troops in his hands had not decreased, but had increased. You are thinking in your hearts, don't you live more and more? Confused! ”

As soon as he slapped the case, he scared the people below.

I saw him widen his eyes and reprimanded: "You are making trouble, you were making trouble before!" How? Isn't it enough to make trouble so far? Give you time to ponder, what have you pondered? It's all on me! Can that be of any use? Let me be clear to you, this is the last time I will reason with you on such a simple question! There will be a next time, if you are willing to do it, if you don't want to do it, get out of it as soon as possible! ”

Although Ye Fu said ruthlessly, the expression on his face was not as cold as before.

Lu Ding hurriedly said: "Yes, please give me a lecture!" ”

Ye Fuyi waved his hand, "I don't have any instructions!" Actually, I've told you this many times before. The town of Dangerous Mountain is a collective, and if the collective is good, everyone will naturally rise to the top. But if the group is not good, for example, the imperial court will cut the dangerous mountain town now, then we will all be finished together! Don't think of anything else, everything else is false. Our current rules and regulations, the imperial court does not recognize this! Brief view of the Ming Dynasty, let me ask you, is there any army like my dangerous mountain town, which pays full money every month? Not to mention, there is this allowance and that allowance, and all kinds of guarantees! If our group is gone, where will you go, and will you be able to find such good treatment conditions? ”

As soon as Ye Fu said this, the people below secretly pondered in their hearts.

Indeed, since the time of the Sanyang period, it is obvious that the welfare benefits of the town are higher than those of any other army.

Not to mention that Ye Fu's business is now all over the north and south, and he is no longer particularly short of money, at least normal army expenses are not a problem. Even when he was stretched thin before, even if life was not easy, he never deducted a penny from everyone's salary!

Nowadays, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are almost no half of the troops who can pay the full amount of silver on time. Not to mention, in addition to the basic salary, there are also various types of subsidies. Even, just after mixing with the advisory group for a long time and learning a few more words of Portuguese, you can get additional subsidies.

No one is willing to give up such a good treatment.

Not to mention, one person in the family is an officer, and the blood relatives are also stained, and they enjoy many treatments that ordinary people do not have.

Ye Fu is good to everyone, and besides, Dangerous Mountain Town is obviously very promising.

Therefore, even if he knows Ye Fufu's intention of 'occupying the mountain as the king', as long as he does not open the country and become the emperor, everyone can turn a blind eye to it for the time being.

Wasn't that the case with Qi Jiajun and Li Jiajun back then?

Everyone is a private soldier under the command of the general, as long as they don't wave the flag and rebel, who cares about so many and some don't?

Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, Ye Fu knew that they were still reluctant to give up good treatment.

So, he said: "Ordnance, quilts, one by one, one set, those are all white flowers!" It's not that the matter of the Ordnance Bureau cannot be solved, but when it comes to solving, where is it so easy? I would like to build more factories and hire more workers. But don't you want any money? Could it be that it grows on the ground just by thinking about it? You fools don't want to think about it, I put all my money into the factory, what do you have left in your pocket? If you say, from now on, you can tighten your belts, eat and drink well, soak brown cakes in white water twice a day, and you don't need to be paid by the army in the month, and you don't need to wear winter clothes for the winter. That's okay, I'll be with you! Let's use all the money to make guns and cannons! Is this proposal feasible? ”

It's also too extreme!

The people below had a bitter look on their faces.

Although as the saying goes, there are only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there is no suffering that cannot be endured. But as the saying goes, it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift!

How good is the food now?

Let them make cakes in cold water every day, so why don't they go out and grab them? When the time comes, what military regulations and military discipline, what daily practices, are all nonsense! The stomach is the first in the list, and the rest have to come last!

"Isn't this the end of it?" Looking at the uncertain faces of the people below, Ye Fu said: "I want you to live a hard life, but you don't want to." I can't plunder, can I? How is that different from banditry? Besides, it's just enough to grab enough silver, where can so many rich people rob it? ”

Ye Fu was telling the truth.

The rich family was looted by Qiu Zhi and his people long before he moved over, how could there be any rich people left?

The army is a gold-swallowing beast, the navy army has a lot more money than the army, and those rich people are not enough to feed the navy army, Ye Fu can't toss too much spare money to build more factories.

Of course, these accounts will not be counted by the people below. It's just that when I heard Ye Fu say this, I felt that it made sense.
