Chapter 61 Military Appointments
"If you are a soldier, you have to be paid, these people don't work, then their family will have one less strong laborer, how much does Brother Forget plan to give them?" Aunt Xiu was in charge of logistics and asked her most concerned questions.
It is not without reason for her to ask, Qinjia Village abolished the co-food system a long time ago, and now it is implemented to work more and get more, and the fruits of the villagers' labor are their own except for the part handed over to the village. These future village soldiers all have families and families, and without such strong labor as them, they will definitely have to pay some compensation.
"Aunt Xiu'er, that's a good question." Qin Forget praised Aunt Xiu, "I plan to give them one bucket of rice a month, ten catties of dried fish, and other quotas such as salt are twice as much as others, which is considered their military salary." This will also motivate them to defend their homes and land. ”
Aunt Xiu frowned, such a quota was more than twice the income of a strong laborer in a month. In this way, Qinjia Village is equivalent to losing 400 strong laborers, and the burden is not heavy. But thinking about the importance of the village soldiers and the losses in this battle, she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, it's a big deal to take everyone to fight harder.
Qin Forget saw Aunt Xiu's expression, guessed her thoughts, and was slightly moved in her heart, this is the woman of Qinjia Village! His heart was full of pride.
"Brother Wang, we have seized a lot of weapons this time, but they are messy, there are all kinds of things, and they are really not suitable for the village soldiers. And our Qinjia Village now doesn't even have a pound of iron, so I suggest that we melt down those weapons and build new ones according to the style of the army. At this time, Aunt Duan spoke.
"Aunt Duan is right, I think so too. After all, those weapons are not standard weapons, and they seriously restrict the combat effectiveness of the village soldiers. I'm also going to melt them all down and make one hundred and fifty knives and spears in the same way as the Great Swallow's standard weapons. I'll leave this to Yang Xuan, he was born in the army and knows the most about weapons, do you have any other questions? ”
"Forget my brother, we don't have much food." Aunt Xiu spoke again.
"Not much?" Qin Forget was a little surprised, "Didn't we save a lot?" There is always 500 stone for grain and dried fish, and it will be gone so soon? ”
Aunt Xiu smiled bitterly, "It turns out that we have saved a lot, and we have been working, so it stands to reason that it is enough." But now there are nearly 2,000 more people at once, and 3,000 mouths to eat, and the consumption is too great. The last battle also gave a lot of compensation to those who were killed and wounded. Now we have to set up village soldiers again, and with our current reserves, I am afraid that we will not even be able to pay the village soldiers for the first month. ”
Qin forgot to be silent, too many things had happened recently, and he actually forgot that there were several times more people eating in Qinjia Village.
"Why don't you use the strategic warehouse? There is also a reserve of 300 stones. Aunt Xiu suggested.
"No, that's a lifesaver, it's not the time yet." Qin Wu didn't even think about it, and refused, "I won't use it unless it's an emergency." I'll go into town in a few days and see what can be done. By the way, Yang Da, how much land have you reclaimed there? ”
"More than 100 acres have been cultivated, and excluding the land where we live and place timber, exactly 100 acres can be cultivated." Yang Da hurriedly responded.
"Well, you go back and organize people to clean up the land and sow seeds, the first year's harvest will definitely not be good, if there is no time, you must mature the land first."
Yang Da nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then arrange it like this first, do you have any questions?" Qin Forget looked up at everyone.
"No more!" Several people said.
"Well, in that case, I declare 。。。。。。" Qin Forget stood up, "The village soldiers of Qinjia Village have been established!" He raised his arms excitedly, his face full of pride and excitement.
"It's founded! Long live Qinjia Village! Long live Brother Forget! The embroidered aunts also stood up excitedly and cheered loudly.
At this moment, Qinjia Village has undergone a qualitative change, it is no longer the small village that has no power to protect itself, and with the first armed force of its own, Qin Forget has taken a solid step to dominate the world in the future.
"Okay, now I announce the appointment of the village soldiers!" After everyone calmed down a little, Qin Forget said with a solemn face.
Hearing this, everyone quickly quieted down completely and looked at Qin Forget quietly.
"The village soldiers set up infantry, and the archers are counted as one battalion, and the battalion commander Yang Xuan!" Unsurprisingly, Qin Forgot was the first to call Yang Xuan's name.
"The subordinates thanked the owner!" Yang Xuan stood up steadily, knelt on one knee, and gave a standard military salute.
Everyone was mentally prepared for this, so they were not surprised at all.
"The first capital is the head, Duan Jiu!"
As soon as Qin Wanggang finished speaking, there was an uproar in the room, no one expected that Duan Jiu, who had just come to Qinjia Village, would be so reused.
Duan Jiu didn't expect Qin Forget to be like this at all, he looked at Qin Forget in surprise, "Village Chief Qin, thank you for your love, but Duan Jiu has just arrived, and he hasn't made an inch, so he really doesn't dare to take on such a high position." What's more, Duan Jiu is just a martial artist, and he really doesn't know anything about the army. He hurriedly excused himself.
"Not an inch?" Qin Forget looked at this tall and sturdy young man and smiled slightly, he still remembered the mighty appearance of this guy who was killing in all directions in the bandits, "I saved the lives of thousands of people in my Qinjia Village, can I call an inch of merit, Duan Jiu Brother is so prevaricated, is it because he can't look down on our Qinjia Village." Qin Wang's face changed, and he pretended to be angry.
Seeing Qin Xuan's appearance, Duan Jiu was helpless and moved, so he could only follow Yang Xuan's appearance and kneel down and give a military salute.
"You don't have to worry, the recruits will definitely have to train together for a few months, if you don't understand something, just ask Yang Xuan directly. I also know the situation in your family, and in the future, you can treat Qinjia Village as your own home, don't worry about the pursuit and killing of those enemies in the rivers and lakes. Qin Forget saw Duan Jiu receiving the order, nodded and gently persuaded him.
The Duan family is just a small sect in the south of the Yangtze River, Duan Qi fled to Qinjia Village with Aunt Duan because he offended a strong enemy, and this time Duan Jiu was also implicated by Duan Qi, so he had to flee north to find his brother and sister-in-law.
"Thank you, owner!" A family word made Duan Jiu's nose sour, and the owner said it well, where there is a sister-in-law, there is a home.
"The second is going to be handed over to Ding Chen, who is still in Chicheng, this guy is very energetic and a general. The bows and arrows were mostly composed of women from Qinjia Village, and they were handed over to Aunt Duan, which was also convenient for daily training, and Cao Qinglai served as Yang Xuan's deputy. Qin Forget said a series of other appointments.
The crowd roared into orders.
"Our Qinjia Village formed village soldiers just to protect the village and defend the village, and we must keep it strictly confidential, and we can't easily go out and cause trouble. After all, forming an army is a big rebellion, and if someone puts our Qinjia Village to death, they can completely deduct us as a rebel. Qin Forget solemnly instructed everyone.
"Dongjia, are you saying that the county magistrate of Chicheng County, Huang Fatzi, is afraid that he will make trouble for us?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Yes, I don't think any county commander can tolerate the existence of an army outside of his control in the territory under his jurisdiction, not to mention that my relationship with that yellow fat man is really not very good." Qin Forget said with a wry smile.
"I don't think there's any need to worry about it." Yang Xuan put forward his own opinion, "Although the fat man Huang is the commander of Chicheng County, if it is really about strength, his rights are far less than that of Dong Zhuang, the county lieutenant who has five hundred county soldiers. It's enough for us to have a good relationship with Dong Zhuang. ”
"That being said, don't forget that behind the fat man Huang is the entire Huang family, and the head of the Huang family is the Yunzhou Thorn History, if he is really difficult for us, it's just a matter of letters." Qin Forget vetoed Yang Xuan's words, "Let's be careful, try to hide the affairs of the village soldiers as much as possible, and hide them for as long as we can." ”
"Do you want to send a letter to Dong Zhuang and ask him what he can do to solve this matter, in the end, he is an official person, and he doesn't deal with Huang Fatzi, maybe he has a good idea." Yang Xuan came up with an idea.
Qin Wangwei groaned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll send a letter to Brother Dong when I go back, and ask him if he can get us an official name like the militia group, if you can get it, it's worth the big price." ”
"By the way, the general asked if there is any armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows in the arsenal of the county government, even if the guys in our hands are rebuilt, they can't compare to the things of the government, if there is, let's exchange food and fish for them." Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"I'll take a look, it's hard to say if there is one, even if there is Dong Zhuang, he won't be replaced, I still know this person, upright, upright but also adheres to principles, and it is estimated that he can't do anything about stealing and selling military supplies." Qin Forget smiled and denied.
"Boss, why don't you try it, I heard that their county soldiers are not having a good time, maybe they can agree." Yang Xuan still didn't give up.
"Okay, I'll write to ask, forget it, there is not much food in the village, I have to go to Chicheng, and talk to him directly when the time comes." couldn't resist Yang Xuan, Qin Forget finally agreed.
