Chapter Fifty-Eight: Eating as a Soldier

Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "In this way, the food and various materials of the Righteous Army combat troops are still provided free of charge by the logistics, the Chinese food of other workers is eaten in the workshop canteen, and other materials are opened by your logistics department, everyone goes to your store to buy, and the price should be the same as the market price under the mountain, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Yi asked, "If this happens, will it make everyone feel a little unfair?" ”

Li Qingyuan waved his hand: "What's unfair, soldiers take the lead in fighting, if anyone thinks that they are more desperate than soldiers, then he can be treated the same as soldiers, or even higher than soldiers." ”

Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "There are also people from the Tianli Society, the Freemasonry Association, and the Intelligence Group, who are very risky and difficult to operate outside, and it is also relatively hard, in addition to the basic salary, they are given a field allowance of 50 wen and a food and accommodation subsidy of 30 wen per day. ”

This time it was Wu Sanniang's turn to be stunned: "This is too much, wouldn't the people of Tianli be able to get five taels or four dollars of silver a month......

Li Qingyuan waved his hand, this is what you deserve, compared to your hard work, this money is nothing, of course, if the rebel army is dispatched, there will also be these subsidies, and all kinds of rewards will not be stingy, this is also to encourage everyone to work hard.

After everyone had nothing else to say, the stone in Li Qingyuan's heart was also put down, in fact, Li Qingyuan also looked forward to someone who could discuss it with him, but it seemed that there was no one who could be called a wise man in the entire righteous army, and the only dog-headed military advisor was also sent by Li Qingyuan to teach children to read and write.

These old-style scholars are the most opportunistic, but you also have to have the strength to let him choose, Li Qingyuan does not have such strength now, and he does not expect these old-style literati to serve him.

Because the road he wants to take is destined to be a road against the literati and landlords, and he can't get along with the landlords and squires, that is, he can't get along with the scholars, because the people who can afford to read are the rich families of these squires and landlords.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan is destined to have a war with them, before the establishment of a stable regime, Li Qingyuan will not be able to compromise and balance, at least for the time being, he has no intention of compromise, the landlord class occupies a large amount of social resources, and Li Qingyuan is not qualified to win over these people now.

However, fortunately, Li Qingyuan's demand for literati is not very strong now, and at this stage, force is still king, and only when he wins the war can he talk about domination, and now Li Qingyuan is still in the infiltration stage, and there is no need to think about ruling at all.

After breakfast the next day, everyone came to the venue one after another, Li Qingyuan hated the meeting, but some problems could not be conveyed to the conference, and it seemed difficult to convey it to everyone.

Just like training, it was Li Qingyuan's one meeting a day, one summary a day, and then teaching these instructors every day, and then the instructors taught and transmitted, this training method was equivalent to Li Qingyuan training an army of more than 4,000 people by himself.

Li Qingyuan was stunned to complete this impossible thing, but there must still be many problems in the training, such as the transformation of the marching team of the troops, etc., which are far from meeting the standards of later generations, and even only a little better than the military training of college students in later generations.

Moreover, Li Qingyuan is not a soldier, and many things are based on research summaries and speculation experiments, such as the shooting operation specifications of muskets, and the marching of muskets in line, etc., which are all being explored.

Not to mention anything else, Li Qingyuan's current troops are still wearing messy clothes, and they don't even have unified military uniforms, let alone internal affairs training, so if such an army encounters the Western powers, it is estimated that it will only be the training level of the middle and lower reaches.

But this is the Qing Dynasty, never advocated not discipline but martial arts, the Qing Dynasty's restrictions on firearms not only did not develop but regressed, in order to prevent the Han people from using firearms to seize their own power, the restrictions on firearms are all the best.

Just last month, Qianlong issued an edict requiring the squires in various places not to use firearms, and the villagers were only allowed to use knives and guns, and only the Green Camp and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were equipped with firearms, further controlling the weapons of the world.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan is now using advanced firearms to train his hands with the Qing army, believing that after the test of war, his troops will soon grow into a strong army, and the commanders of each battalion are the fastest to arrive, and others have also arrived one after another.

When it was time to arrive, Li Qingyuan stood up and said: "Everyone has worked hard in the past few months, and now that the New Year is coming, there is a happy event to share with you, that is, I have decided to pay everyone military salaries and wages!"

Specifically......

How about whether everyone is satisfied with this wage standard, and what opinions do you have now, let's discuss it together. ”

Everyone looked at each other, because the main personnel Li Qingyuan had discussed it, and Li Qingyuan had also explained in these places, so the others had no problems, only the crow folded his hands and asked, "Then can I get five taels of silver a month?" That's a lot! ”

Although the crow is also a group of bandits in name, in fact, it is just a group of farmers who form a village to protect themselves, otherwise they would not choose the crow to be the leader after the death of the crow's father, which of course has the ability of the crow, but also because this leader is really not popular, even if you occasionally act everyone, there is not much left for everyone.

Li Qingyuan shook his head and smiled: "Of course not!" ”

The crow was a little disappointed: "Oh, I'll just say, I must have miscalculated, how could there be so many." ”

Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "You are indeed miscalculated, you are the captain of the Tianli Society, and you enjoy the treatment of the battalion commander, in addition to the basic military salary of three taels, as well as the field allowance for food and accommodation, there is also a battalion commander's allowance of thirty taels, so you can get thirty-five taels of four yuan a month......." ”

"My good ......" The crow was stunned, everyone laughed when they heard her exclamation, the crow blushed a little, and glared at everyone: "What are you laughing at, how much food can you buy with so much money!" ”

Li Qingyuan stopped everyone and said: "At the end of the year, I will make up for everyone's arrears in the previous months, from the beginning of our escape from Linqing, one day is counted as one day, and our main task in the next few days is to settle accounts and send money, and then the fifth of each month will sound." ”

Everyone went down to inform Li Qingyuan that he planned to supervise the work of the later department, thinking that Yuan Shikai personally sounded in order to prevent his subordinates from drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating empty salaries, which played a supervisory role and won the support of the soldiers.

So Li Qingyuan felt that this was a good way, Li Qingyuan sat there, watching the logistics people calculate while weighing the silver to the soldiers, and the soldiers would bend down to thank Li Qingyuan before leaving, and Li Qingyuan would nod in return, Li Qingyuan felt that this was a manual work.
