Chapter 30: The Snowballing Deal

Can you ask a thug to help you fight for 600 wen?

6,000 Wen can invite ten thugs to help him fight?

60,000 Wen can invite a hundred thugs to help him fight?

Oh, my God! 600,000 Wen can invite a thousand soldiers to help him attack the city and plunder the land?

Tie Xinyuan's mind was full of a series of not too complicated currency exchange formulas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In general, the years have been good, and the money has always been at least 700 copper coins.

And one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a full ten thousand copper coins! And one tael of red gold can be exchanged for sixteen taels of silver.

Even so, gold and silver are rarely seen in the Tokyo market, especially red gold, and whoever gets a little bit of it will quickly store it, and even if they lose money to exchange it for red gold, it is a very proud transaction in the eyes of others.

Gold can be passed down from generation to generation!

The ten taels of red gold that Tie Xinyuan threw out could be exchanged for at least one hundred and sixty soldiers to fight for him in the most difficult situation!

Tie Xinyuan became more and more happy when he thought of the output of his gold mine in one day, and he thought that the gold ore was given by God, so this group of warriors was also given by God.

After Meng Yuanzhi heard Tie Xinyuan say the whole process, he was silent, and his eyes were even a little red.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "The life of a martial artist is not as good as a pig." ”

Tie Xinyuan has always remembered the price of pork very clearly, when the Tie family opened a soup cake shop, a pound of fat meat was sold for 12 yuan......

In the evening, 1,200 soldiers in the barracks who volunteered to go to Hami lined up and came to Meng Yuanzhi's tent, waiting to sign a life and death contract with Tie Xinyuan.

After Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuan looked at each other for a long time, they finally worked together to kick Yu Chiwen out of the big tent.

This kind of document that loses his conscience, only this kid who has a bad heart can sign it without distraction.

Liu Man and the others were full of joy.

In the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was a forbidden army, a box soldier, or a large army stationed in Jiangyoutun, the method of recruitment was generally adopted. The main physical criterion for recruiting soldiers is height, that is, height is one of the hard indicators of recruitment in the Song Dynasty.

From Taizu to the present, soldiers are basically selected according to their height. When Taizu recruited the forbidden army, he required a height of more than 5 feet 8 inches to be selected for the superior forbidden army, and the standard of the regular army was 5 feet 5 inches.

The Great Song Dynasty issued military salaries to the forbidden soldiers at all levels, the soldiers of the box soldiers, and the soldiers of the garrison army.

The ranks of military personnel are extremely complex, there are differences between officers and soldiers, and there are equal differences between officers and soldiers, due to differences in currency systems and prices in different places, regional differences, and even differences in height.

Today's officials pay soldiers according to their height, who are more than 5 feet 8 inches tall and have a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan; More than 5 feet 7 inches, monthly salary of 700 yuan; More than 5 feet 6 inches, with a monthly salary of 500 yuan.

Of course, this is the number in the imperial court account books, these military salaries are allocated from the central government to the state capital, military states, and then to various camps, and finally half of the military salaries reach the hands of the soldiers, and the soldiers are thankful.

And some black-hearted people are in charge, and even the soldier's salary will drift by more than seventy percent, if the soldier unfortunately becomes a box army, basically there will be no military salary, and it is already a fluke to be able to eat a full stomach.

Hong Laoqi is very smart to keep the monthly salary, and then the cost of going to war, so that the soldiers' salary will at least double, and if the war is frequent, there will be more.

Meng Yuanzhi sat in the military tent and listened to the bargaining between Wei Chiwen and those soldiers for ten cents and ten cents.

Hearing Wei Chiwen's harsh words, the muscles on Meng Yuanzhi's face trembled, his body trembled, and his teeth squeaked, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he strode out, took Wei Chiwen aside, and yelled at those soldiers who looked extremely excited: "Damn, there is no such cheap way to sell pork."

Ears up your donkeys and listen, it doesn't matter how much the military is paid, that's something the king has to worry about.

You don't have to make this pig-killing document, if you believe in Lao Tzu, follow Lao Tzu!

As long as you participate in the war, Lao Tzu guarantees that you will get far more money than you are asking for now.

Don't dare to say anything else, after the war, you want to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, and you will definitely go home with a piece of red gold for ten taels and one ingots! ”

Hong Laoqi, who was pressing his handprint on the paper, glanced up at Meng Yuanzhi and said, "I don't know what position the general holds in Hami Country?" Dare to boast of such a large sea mouth! ”

"Uh......" Meng Yuanzhi was stunned, because he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any position at the moment.

He roared irritably, and hurriedly entered the account, and before he could speak, Tie Xinyuan hurriedly said: "General Zuo Sima!" ”

Meng Yuanzhi turned around and walked out of the camp, beat his chest with his fist and said: "Now stretch out your donkey ears, listen, Lao Tzu is Meng Yuanzhi, the general of Zuo Sima of Hami Qingxiang Country!"

Lao Tzu used to serve in the forbidden army, and the royal forest army squad directly brought imperial equipment! “

Hong Laoqi's eyes were shining, and his eyes widened and said, "Okay!" We don't know who Meng Yuanzhi is, we only know that the royal forest army squad is a hero, and all the top ones are heroes.

Looking at your style these days, it is also like a majestic man with imperial weapons, since the general is the guarantor, I will believe you.

I said it in advance, I'm just a bunch of brainless men, we will go wherever you lead us, and we won't frown in the water.

But ......"

Meng Yuanzhi laughed and said: "If there is no gold in the future, you will use Lao Tzu's head to make up the number!" ”

Liu Man sneered: "What we want is gold, what do we want your head to do, our brother cut off his head in Tiannan and didn't know it." ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed and walked out of the tent and said, "This king is a guarantee, if there is no gold at that time, just go to this king's palace and move it." ”

Liu Man shook his head and said, "I'm not greedy, I just need this contract!" ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "As you wish, Wei Chiwen, add an article to the contract, even if the soldiers are killed in battle, his money is his, and he can only hand it over to his designated relatives, and each person will increase the amount of silver to burn and bury by five taels!"

The army first paid two months' salary, marched to Hami, and then gave three months' salary, the first war, each person consistent, full of ten thousand copper coins!

In addition, the armor, weapons, war horses, pack horses, clothes, and supplies of the soldiers are all borne by my Hami Qingxiang country!

This king has paid so much, I only ask you to fight bravely and come up with the combat power worthy of these silver coins paid by this king! ”

Liu Man, Hong Laoqi and everyone were a little sluggish after hearing the conditions promised by Tie Xinyuan himself.

Meng Yuanzhi's kind of empty talk, they have listened too much, and Tie Xinyuan's proposal seems too credible.

What's more, Tie Xinyuan is the concubine of the Great Song Dynasty, the king of the Hami Kingdom, and the promise he gives is much more reliable than that of a general Zuo Sima who has just been pardoned by the king.

Liu Man and Hong Laoqi hugged their fists in unison and said: "The king is loved, we dare not to repay each other with death!" ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed and said: "The sentence of repaying death is not right, this king would rather you all return to the Great Song Dynasty with big bags of silver and money, rather than ask me to send someone to send your ashes and buried silver to your family."

Brothers, there is no connection between getting rich and dying in battle, we want to be rich and alive.

Hehehe, only if you live, this king will be able to capture more money, the territory will be bigger, and there will be more money to return to the Great Song Dynasty to recruit more warriors to go to the Western Regions.

Hahaha, and then rob more...... Hahaha. ”

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

Tie Xinyuan burst out laughing, Meng Yuanzhi burst out laughing, and laughed together with the hundred battle soldiers in front of the tent.

For them, this is the right way to make a fortune, and when they think of their robbery in Tiannan, their blood boils to the extreme.

Striking while the iron was hot, Tie Xinyuan was not ambiguous at all, took Wei Chiwen over and put it behind the table, and said to the soldiers who were breathing heavily in front of him: "Now pay two months' military salary!" Just look for him! ”

The cheers of all the soldiers rose to the sky, causing the guilty soldiers to stretch their necks one by one to look this way.

The money and food in the army are naturally in charge of Wei Chiwen, seeing those soldiers approaching him with a smile, he hurriedly called for the Khotanese entourage he brought from Qingxiang Valley to move copper coins from the treasury, this thing, there are many more in the treasury.

Outside the tent were a large group of soldiers waiting to receive money, and inside the tent, Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi were meeting Leng Ping, Wang Guan, He Yuanwu, and Pei Ping, the four commanders of the criminal army.

The soldiers outside made a big fuss, and as long as it was the people in this barracks, no one knew what they were here for.

When they came to the big tent, facing Tie Xinyuan and Meng Yuanzhi, the four of them didn't know where to start, they were different from these free soldiers outside, they came to the camp to say that they gave their former commanders a little affection, and if they didn't like it, they could leave at any time.

They are the army of sins, and there is no way out except to follow Tie Xinyuan to Hami.

"Actually, as long as there are no soldiers who commit crimes in the Great Song Dynasty, I can pretend not to see it."

Tie Xinyuan set a tone for the sin army with one mouth, and this sentence made Leng Ping and the four of them feel a lot more comfortable.

"You are all paid like the soldiers outside!"

Leng Ping relied on his old commander Yang Huaiyu and Tie Xinyuan to be friends, and asked, "I don't know how much we are paid, and I ask the king to show me." ”

"The salaries of our army are the same in principle. It's just that the three thousand of you are a little different. ”

Wang Xuan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the difference the king means when he says something slightly different." ”

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Don't mention the word "criminal army" in the future, not mentioning these two words does not mean that the mistakes you made in the past will not be forgotten and no one will be held accountable."

In the army, the most important is strict discipline and orderliness, if you can't get rid of these problems, how can I send you out to fight with confidence?

When the time comes, my biggest concern is not whether you will win the battle, but whether you will fight back! (To be continued.) )
