Chapter 1419: Payroll
The most beautiful morning light never belongs to the lazy person, only the early riser is qualified to appreciate it. Today's Peach Blossom Set has this qualification, and when the first rays of sunlight burst from the east, everyone has gathered in the Peach Blossom Set.
Zhu Ping'an stood at the highest point of the hillside, with three neat and half-meter-high boxes at his feet.
"I didn't expect to get up so early to be a soldier, as long as I didn't take my turn to stand guard in the cottage, I could sleep until three poles in the morning."
"Yesterday I cut down a tree for a long time, and my body was sore and tired, so can't adults let us sleep more? and not fighting......"
"What are you muttering, what's wrong with waking up early, yesterday's meal was all in the dog's stomach?!"
"Hehe, if we can eat meat every day, let alone get up early, we are willing to sleep without sleeping."
"Alas, you say, what is in the three big boxes under our feet?!"
......
A group of newly disciplined bandits were soldiers on their first day, and they were full of novelty about getting up early to assemble, and they exchanged words and discussions.
"Brothers, today is the first day for you to officially join the group training! Before I came, I promised you that I would pay you a monthly salary! You believe in me Zhu Ping'an, come to Shun, I, Zhu Ping'an, will never live up to your trust. Today, I will pay you your first month's salary! Zhu Ping'an stood on the high slope and said loudly to the people below the slope.
"What?! Salary?! ”
"I heard you right, we adults are going to pay us silver?! We're only paid on the first day of being a soldier?! ”
"Didn't you drink too much yesterday and talk drunk?! But I didn't drink yesterday?! ”
"That's the pay?!"
When everyone at the bottom of the slope heard about the payout, their mouths opened wide in surprise, and they couldn't believe their ears. I've never heard of arrears, but I haven't heard of early payments?!
"Brothers, you heard you right, today we will start paying you your first month's salary! From now on, today of every month will be the day of your pay, and I promise you that you will never be in arrears! ”
Zhu Ping'an stood on the hillside, looked at everyone with a smile, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said loudly.
"It's really a good job!"
"I'm dripping my God, I really want to pay silver! I never dreamed that I would be paid for my first day as a soldier! ”
"Yesterday I ate all-you-can-eat meat, and today I receive a salary...... Our days are too beautiful, we have to wake up laughing when we dream. ”
"God, Lord Shun is the most correct decision I have made in my life, there is no one!"
When everyone heard Zhu Ping'an repeat today's salary again, they were all about to jump up with excitement.
"Brothers, your soldiers' salaries are tentatively set at one or two halves of silver per month!" Zhu Ping'an said to everyone.
"Oh my God, a silver tael or two?!"
"There is a guy in our town who works on an errand in the yamen, but he is majestic, and he only has ten taels of silver a year!"
"I heard that the average soldier in the guard station is only a tael of silver a month, and we actually have a tael of silver a month?!"
"One or two halves of silver, one and a half a month, two months is three taels, three months, four months...... This year, that's eighteen taels of silver, my mother, eighteen taels of silver, it's enough to marry a mother-in-law! ”
"What?! Eighteen taels a year?! That's a lot, oops, why didn't I come to the army earlier! ”
"Hahaha, you are stupid, it's useless for you to be a soldier early, you can't meet our adults! Other soldiers don't have this treatment! ”
"Yes, too......"
When everyone heard that they were paid a month and a half of silver, they were shocked and stunned, and their mouths were as big as the mouth of a box, and they couldn't believe their ears, and their saliva sounded when they swallowed!
"Big ...... Your Excellency, you're not lying to us, are you?! We were cast by bandits, and you actually gave us a salary of one or two halves of silver a month?! It's like pie in the sky. ”
The person in the front row stammered and asked.
"Hehe, what did I lie to you! Someone, open the box! Zhu Ping'an replied with a smile, waved his hand and ordered the box to be opened.
Liu Dadao and the others obeyed the order, stepped forward to open the box, and suddenly a silver light flashed, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"Oh my God, so much silver......"
"Silver, a lot of silver......"
"Hehe, how do I think today's sunshine is shining, like a piece of gold ingots......"
When everyone saw three large boxes full of broken silver, they suddenly breathed quickly and swallowed their saliva again and again.
"Alright, now let's start handing out the payouts! Stand up, don't move, don't be in a hurry, the official uses the head guarantee of the item, and everyone has a share. Listen to my command! Well, starting from the easternmost side, come up in turn to receive the silver. and when the ruler has made a register for you, he will take away your money. ”
Zhu Ping'an shouted to everyone.
"Yes!" The crowd responded excitedly.
"Let's get started." Zhu Ping'an sat in front of the table and chair brought by Liu Dadao, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and shouted to the excited people.
"Hehe, I'm the first, I'll kowtow to the adult, and from today onwards, I'll hand over the one hundred and fifty pounds to the adult." The first person in the easternmost row stepped forward with a smile, and without saying a word, he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, kowtowed to Zhu Ping'an, and said with a sincere face.
"Get up, get up and speak." Zhu Ping'an got up and left the chair, stepped forward to help him up, and asked gently, "What is your name, where do you live, and who are the ......people in the family?"
"My lord, my name is Zhu Daniu, I live in Zhujiazhuang, Linhai County, and I have an old mother in my family."
Erniu got up and replied.
Zhu Ping'an recorded Zhu Daniu's situation and nodded, "Hehe, we are still our own family." Alright, go and collect your pay. Train well, be loyal to the country, and strive for more meritorious service, this official will not be stingy with rewards, enough for you to marry a daughter-in-law, and let your mother hold her grandson as soon as possible......"
"Thank you, my lord, I must listen to my lord's words, train hard, be loyal to the country, make more meritorious deeds, and don't embarrass our old Zhu family......" Zhu Daniu didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to encourage him, and said excitedly.
Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded, signaling him to go to the soldiers' salary. After Zhu Daniu thanked him again, he received his salary of one or two halves of silver.
The people at the bottom of the slope saw that after Zhu Daniu registered with Zhu Ping'an, he really received a salary of one or two halves of silver, and they suddenly looked forward to it and became more excited......
"Next!" Zhu Ping'an shouted.
The second came forward by name to make a register, then received the soldiers' salary, and then the third and fourth...... An hour later, everyone received the bounty, and everyone had a smile on their faces, full of hope for the future.
