Professional soldiers have the benefits of being a professional soldier, but they also come with some inconveniences.

For example, like Xue Li, who has just finished getting married, the husband and wife can only stay together for half a month before they are separated again.

Not to mention other factors, from a humanitarian point of view, if Liu Yun's ovulation period just missed this half month, then Xue Li would have to wait at least a year later if he wanted to leave a queen for the old Xue family.

And it's not like ovulation can hit at one time, this is also a probability, if you're unlucky, you may not be able to get pregnant for several years in a row.

The same situation also happened in more people's homes, the more than forty people who came back with Xue Li this time are all selected people who will go to sea after the New Year, but except for Xue Li, everyone else has already started a family, only a few have not yet come, and they need to work hard this time.

Of course, material changes may bring them some comfort.

When they were on the front line, they didn't pay their salaries, so they didn't need to run around with money, if they needed money, they would go to the government to borrow it, and then they would deduct it directly when they were paid.

When they returned to Haizhou and went to inquire about military salaries, they found that they had more money than expected, although many people were confused, but as a payment unit, there were relevant records on the Qianzhuang side.

The extra money is divided into two parts, one part is the war subsidy of one yuan per day, which is calculated from the day they leave Haizhou and ends up when they return to Haizhou, and the other part is the food subsidy of ten yuan per month, which is equivalent to an additional forty yuan per person per month.

And among these more than 40 people, there are nine fire chiefs, and there are two team leaders, and the rest are Xue Li, the general.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Xue Li and the others regrouped, whether it was reluctance or hesitation in their hearts, when the time to visit relatives came, they had to leave with the large army.

Compared with others, they were fortunate to have a new opportunity, and it was easier to get war exploits when they went on an expedition than to stay, and the rewards brought by the war also made these families have a fat year.

To sum up, those of them who have been away from home for more than a year, the military salary alone is enough for the family's expenses for two years, and if you count the rewards and save some money, you will not have to worry about money for five years.

Some people are full of confidence and motivation to become an official and half-job in the next three years or so, and strive to make the life of the family better.

Some people think that after working for three and a half years, they will retire and go home to live a stable life after the five-year contract expires, and anyway, if they work hard in the future, they can earn ten years or even more living expenses in more than three years.

Whether it is good or bad, the system of the Haizhou Army has been perfectly released through this family visit.

Although they have to leave home all the year round, but the high military salary can make up for some, and the most important thing is that these people come back with an attitude, although the perennial training is hard, but the effect is also resounding, after arriving on the battlefield, the enemy is not their opponent at all, as long as they are cautious, abuse them as if playing.

Moreover, the Haizhou Army is not the model of government soldiers, as soon as they enter the government, they will be old, and it is not the current recruitment model, recruiting when needed, and letting people get out after the war.

Ordinary soldiers and fire commanders are five-year contracts, after five years will be two-way choice, if both parties are interested, then you can renew a five-year contract, if one party is not satisfied, you can retire directly without renewing the contract, although most of them are illiterate, but someone explained to them that the contract clearly states that after retirement, an additional last year's basic military salary will be issued as a settlement subsidy.

There are also good things to calculate an account, the average soldier's monthly salary is 100 yuan, but with the increase of military age, the military salary also increases, the second year will increase to 100 and 5 yuan per month, the third year 110 yuan, and the fifth year is 120 yuan, which is equivalent to working until the end of the five years to go home, you can get an extra 1,440 yuan.

What does this mean? In the early years, I couldn't even buy a stone of rice.

But now......

It's all tears, since Zhenguan four years later, the Tang Dynasty seems to have gone through frequent natural disasters, the rain is sufficient, the sun is shining, the outside Turks are gone, the internal hidden dangers have gradually been eliminated, the people began to calm down and cultivate diligently, so, after the harvest that year, the price of grain carried out an avalanche, and the next few years are even more bursting every year, so that now a bucket can be said to be only four yuan of grain......

In this way, many people waited with great expectation for the Haizhou Army to recruit people again, but after asking and asking, no one had heard the news that the Haizhou Army was going to expand its recruitment, which made many people very disappointed.

With the return of a group of soldiers visiting relatives, the Haizhou military camp gradually became busy, and the second group of troops visiting relatives did not return overseas, and they had to wait until the troops received by the imperial court arrived before returning.

However, this did not affect the operation of the Haizhou military camp, because the soldiers who went to sea this time were selected, not a whole system.

Therefore, after these soldiers returned to the camp one after another, Li Daozong, who had already returned, reorganized these people according to Li Yuanjing's instructions.

Wang Erniu has been very busy recently, with Xue Li's promotion to Lang General, he has gradually broken away from the scout team, Wang Erniu because of his acceptable performance in the attack on Goguryeo, so he was appointed as the acting lieutenant, responsible for the work of the entire scout team.

This time, the scout team was the only unit that was repatriated in its entirety, with a total of 1,200 men, of which 1,000 were combat troops.

Suddenly controlling such a large army is also a challenge for Wang Erniu, so Wang Erniu was reviewing the information he got from Xue Li throughout the holiday, and after returning home, even his wife said that he was stunned, and he didn't even care about the matter of husband and wife, and he asked her to take the initiative every time.

Of course, after knowing the news that Wang Erniu was promoted to acting lieutenant, his wife was still very happy, and she was also silently supporting, striving to remove the pronoun as soon as possible.

After returning to the barracks, Wang Erniu followed his officers to listen to and learn during the day, although he knew all these things, but he was reluctant to miss every class, and he knew what was new, Wang Erniu knew where his weaknesses were, so he needed to work harder.

And in the evening, Wang Erniu will go to Xue Li to continue the class, the relationship between the two is very good now, after all, it is a friendship on the battlefield, Xue Li still recommends Wang Erniu's benefactor.

Time is just passing day by day, the training of the training, the class of the class, anyway, the amount of tasks is not large, they have passed the recruit period, now they do not need such a large amount of training, all they need to do is to review the old and learn the new, of course, this is in addition to physical training, even if the above is not mandatory, only a minimum limit is drawn, but many soldiers still practice on their own in addition to training, or to learn to read.

If you don't ask yourself to relax, the only thing waiting for him is to roll up and leave after five years, and some people will take your place.

More and more supplies were being delivered to the barracks, and by the end of February, one after another Thousand Stone warships were driven to the military docks, and everyone knew that the day of sailing was getting closer and closer!
