Chapter 9: My Heart Is Dripping!

Zhang Yang entered the camp tent, and Wu Yong was walking outside with a bitter face, and the two happened to collide with each other.

"The last general will see the commander!" Wu Yong hurriedly bowed his hand, his face was full of sadness, and the reason why he didn't go out was probably because he looked at too many people outside and felt worried.

But now that Zhang Yang came, he was even more worried.

If Zhang Yang didn't come, he could still find an excuse to fool the past.

After all, as long as no one starves to death..... None of the big deals.

Although Zhang Yang embezzled the military salary, but the Shangguan of the entire Ming Dynasty did not embezzle the military salary of the big soldiers below?

If you want to be ruthless, Zhang Yang can be regarded as kind.

The Jingxi Defense Battalion has only been paid for three months, and there are many people in other places who have not been paid for half a year or even a year.

Don't the soldiers of the rest of the world live?

!

One by one, they are not alive and well!

And in Wu Yong's opinion, the second little grandfather's little money to spend is a matter of course, which is too normal. You must know that an official is an official, a soldier is a soldier, if an official is not greedy for money, is it still an official?

It's just that it's really unfortunate today, Zhang Yanglai is just catching up with this gang of killings to make trouble.... I'm afraid it's really hard to make excuses.

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded, very satisfied with Wu Yong's attitude, and then asked, "How is the preparation of the report?" ”

The so-called reporting is mainly in three aspects.

The first is to report the number of barracks.

This article is actually just a number, and basically what is reported is the full number, which means that the commander of the capital tells the commander that our battalion is fully staffed and there is no attrition. But in fact, there are not so many people in the military camp at all, and the military salary is paid according to the reported amount, which is also the legendary empty salary.

The second report is ordnance.

Take the Jingxi Defense Battalion as an example, the Jingxi Defense Battalion is a mixed combination of soldiers and horses, with spearmen, sword soldiers, and a small team of cavalry, and the ordnance it has includes spears, long knives, and war horses.....

Because ordnance wears out and rusts easily, some old weapons need to be replaced every few years, and horses are also incapacitated by age, so they need to be replaced.

Of course, this is also another important income for local officials.

Finally, there is the maintenance report, which is equivalent to the evaluation of the civilian system, summing up the performance of some grassroots officers in a year, and whether they have made meritorious contributions and demerits, as the basis for future promotions.

Wu Yong, who had already prepared these reported documents, just needed Zhang Yang, the chief officer, to report them, and when he saw Zhang Yang asking, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to my lord, the documents have already been prepared, do you want to take a look?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the thick stack of documents on the case, and then looked at the people outside through the cloth vines in the camp tent, and then whispered to Zhang Yang: "My lord, why don't you rest in the big tent first, and then go out to explain to them!" ”

I am still very relieved that Wu Yong is doing things.

Wu Yong's father was a lieutenant who followed Zhang Lun back then, and he was considered a British princess, otherwise the deputy commander of the Jingxi Defense Battalion would not have been his turn.

Now that Wu Yong let Zhang Yang rest, he went out and explained that he undoubtedly wanted to help Zhang Yang take the blame, but he didn't know if the gang outside was good or not.

After all, this is a capital division, not a place, and many operations still have some scruples.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll go, after all, I didn't do much in this matter, just now I have asked Wangcai to go back to the house to get money, and I want to come from time to time!" ”

Without waiting for Wu Yong to speak again, he took the lead in going to the camp.

Outside the tent, a pair of eyes stared at the figures that came out, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that the person who came was public.

You must know that they actually didn't know the bottom of their hearts when they came to make money this time, and they even didn't expect to get the money at all.

In the past, when they came over, Wu Yong was perfunctory, and they could get the money and shares, but if they couldn't get the money, they could only go back to the guard.... After all, it's good to have an explanation.

Anyway, even if they are short of salary, their share as officers is indispensable, at most those big-headed soldiers are guilty.

But does it matter?

It doesn't matter at all, compared to other military camps, the Jingxi Defense Battalion is already a conscience.

In confusion, Zhang Yang was already standing in front of the tent, he looked at the crowd and suddenly stretched out a finger and said: "One hour, one hour you bring all your people to me to pay silver, come one by one, if you don't come, please be early next month!" ”

Although he said this, Zhang Yang's heart was dripping blood....

There are almost 10,000 people in the entire Jingxi Defense Battalion, and even if there are some empty quotas, there are at least 5,000 people in addition to them, which is still a small amount.

In fact, according to flamboyant estimates, there are absolutely no less than 6,000 people.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have much silver due to the relationship between the tuntian system, it was said that a soldier would also be paid about 180 yuan of silver a month, and these 6,000 people.... That's nearly 200 yuan!

If it's all copper coins, it's hundreds of catties!

The main purpose of his on-the-spot payment of money was to prevent empty salaries, and the delay of an hour was to delay time.

After all, it takes time for Wangcai to withdraw money from the account office of the Guogong Mansion and then to transport, and an hour should be just right.

When Zhang Yang finished speaking, everyone below looked at Zhang Yang with a dull expression.

They have long lost hope, but they never thought that it would be true!

Yes, it's definitely real hair!

If it's just them, hundreds or thousands of households present, it's okay to say, if they are fooled, they will be fooled.

But.... Once the soldiers are called, the nature is completely different.

If you don't pay the money, you can't get it right, then you will really mutiny.

"Is this true?" At that moment, a thousand households stood up and asked.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhang Yang, but he is in Si Zhang Yang, this guy is really unreliable.

Imagine what reputation a well-known bastard can have?

Don't pat your ass and run away at that time, it will be miserable for them to top the bar in the end!

Not to mention, the rest of the people couldn't help but look at Zhang Yang when he asked, although they didn't necessarily fully believe Zhang Yang's words, but now they just want to have a personal reply from Zhang Yang to comfort themselves.

"That's nature!" Zhang Yang smiled at the Qianhu who asked him, and asked him rhetorically: "Could it be that you think that this commander has nothing to do when he is full, and he is looking for you to have fun here?" If you have that kung fu book conductor, you might as well go to Qinglou to find two Qingqing people to listen to a little song! ”

The name of the Qianhu Zhang Yang seems to be Li Chenglong, and it is said that he was promoted from a small banner because of his meritorious work.

Although such a person is a bit of a thorn, I have to say that he is quite capable.

"Then the subordinate will thank the commander on behalf of the eight hundred and thirty-six brothers under his command!"
