Chapter 57 The Problem of Wages

Originally, Li Qingyuan planned to let Wu Sanniang go in person for this matter, for fear that Liuzi would not be experienced, but something big was about to happen in the north, and Sanniang also needed to take care of it, so as not to make a mistake and not be able to leave for a while.

After Li Qingyuan explained the six sons again, and then the five of them began to discuss the next issue, that is, the change of clothes of the Tianli Council and the choice of training location, now that the crow has joined, Li Qingyuan originally wanted to put the training base in the old nest, but Wu Sanniang and the crow both objected, and both felt that it was too troublesome to go back and forth.

So Li Qingyuan's current Tianli Society training ground is placed in the crow's territory, after Meng Can took away one hundred and twenty people, Sanniang still has one hundred and eighty people left, and after the crow joined, more than forty people were selected to join, making the number of people over there become more than two hundred and twenty people, and the next six sons will take a hundred people, and there will be only one hundred and twenty people left.

In order to ensure that the number of troops over there is not too small, Li Qingyuan plans to provide twenty gunners for Liuzi and then transfer one hundred people to Wu Sanniang's side, and gradually complete the weapons, so that when the family is separated in the next step, the number of the two will not be insufficient.

Wu Sanniang has no opinion on this, but the crow feels that he is a little reluctant to separate the people he has been with for a long time, but he has no objection, and after determining the affairs of the Heavenly Council, the next thing is to discuss the affairs of Freemasonry.

The Freemasonry has not had its own person in charge for some time ago, and it is all managed by the Tianli Society, and in the next step, Li Qingyuan wants to make the relationship between the Tianli Society and the Freemasonry more clear, so that the two sides are no longer subordinate.

Because in this way, Tianli will easily form its own system and become uncontrolled by Li Qingyuan, everyone has no defense against this, and they don't understand so many twists and turns in Li Qingyuan's actions.

Therefore, several people who have performed more prominently in the Freemasonry have recently been nominated as presidents of various branches, each president is responsible for the rescue of a county, and the money comes from Li Qingyuan, and Li Qingyuan's money comes from the seizure of the Tianli Society.

Then Li Qingyuan announced that tomorrow he would convene all the officers at or above the intermediate level to participate in a large-scale discussion, and the so-called middle-level officers were the battalion commanders of each battalion, the detachment commander of the Tianli Society, the branch president of the Freemasonry Society, the person in charge of the firearms workshop, the person in charge of logistics, the person in charge of finance, and Hou Zheng, the person in charge of intelligence.

This meeting is also the last large-scale meeting of the year before the year, after this meeting, everyone can prepare for the New Year, everyone is very curious about tomorrow's topic, but Li Qingyuan is tight-lipped, just don't say it, everyone is not good to ask too much, each find a place to rest.

Li Qingyuan said that he would talk about it tomorrow, but secretly called the logistics director Da Ya, the financial director Er Niu, and the intelligence director Hou Zheng, as well as the firearms battalion commanders Zhang Yi and Wu Sanniang, to his room to talk to everyone and discuss tomorrow's affairs.

Li Qingyuan's main thing to discuss with you tomorrow is to set up a standard for wages and salaries and pay New Year's money, Li Qingyuan first read the salary plan he formulated, everyone listened carefully, after Li Qingyuan finished reading, the whole room fell silent.

Li Qingyuan looked at everyone: "Don't you have any ideas about this?" For example, if the salary is unreasonable, the salary is too low, or if there is anyone whose salary is not taken into account, you can talk about it! ”

Zhang Yi asked: "This soldier has two taels for the first time in the army, and three taels per month after completing the training and distributing muskets, does it mean that only those who have been issued with firearms can receive three taels?" ”

Li Qingyuan nodded: "That's right, this is also to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for training, so that everyone can become a regular musketeer as soon as possible." ”

"Isn't that too much? I heard that the salary of the township soldiers is only one tael a month, let's ......" Zhang Yi opened his mouth to explain,

Li Qingyuan waved his hand: "This is not high, how can we compare with the township soldiers, they are peasants with knives and guns, our team is a rebel army with no more heads on the waistband of trousers, everyone works harder, the salary is high, and everyone has any other problems." ”

The head of the blacksmith's workshop asked: "That general, I want to ask, the basic salary of your production team is one tael, and then each qualified musket is rewarded with two taels for the whole group, and then you distribute it according to the size of the merit, what kind of distribution method is this?" ”

Li Qingyuan said: "This is simple, the efficiency of the working group is at least ten muskets per month, and on average, each person can get three taels, but some of your group are just handymen who are apprentices, some are blacksmiths who strike iron, and some are experienced in drilling the rifling of pipes. ”

Li Qingyuan also hopes to stimulate the creativity of workers in this way, in case anyone can think of a better way to improve production efficiency, Li Qingyuan is naturally willing to pay more, but there is no creativity, and piecework charging can also prompt everyone to burst out with greater enthusiasm for production.

As for the quality problem, it is even simpler, each musket will be engraved with its own squad mark on the butt and barrel, and if there is a problem at that time, according to this mark, the responsibility will be investigated, not only no bonus but also heavy fine.

The second girl said a little embarrassed: "Li ...... General Li, if we are paid like this, we are afraid that our money will not last long, and I am afraid that we will not be able to last for three or five months, and there will be no silver. ”

Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "The matter of money Sanniang's Tianli will find a way, if it really doesn't work, the musket battalion will be trained in four months, and I will take you down the mountain to rob the big family!" ”

Erniu nodded to indicate that she knew, and then stopped talking, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and asked, "Then are we going down the mountain to fight too?" ”

Li Qingyuan shook his head and asked curiously, "Do all the soldiers under your command want to go out to fight?" ”

Zhang Yi touched his head a little embarrassed, Li Qingyuan was a little clear, these people are all young guys, holding back in the mountains every day, sooner or later, Li Qingyuan thought about it and said: "You ask everyone to be patient, we may have a battle in the second half of next year." ”

Li Qingyuan estimates that in the second half of next year, the first stable base area should be established, and there will be no war at that time, Zhang Yi listened to Li Qingyuan's words, hehe smiled and said I will tell you when I go back.

Li Qingyuan looked at the others: "Do you have any opinions?" ”

The logistics lady asked: "General Li, if we pay our wages, will we still provide free food and supplies to everyone in the future?" ”

Li Qingyuan frowned, he really hadn't thought about this question seriously, at first he felt that since everyone had paid their own money, they should pay for it themselves, but think about where they can buy it if they have money? Don't want to buy it yourself?
