Chapter 77: Professional Samurai
Yang Huaiyu was thrown in Cangzhou, although the wound on his chest was healed, the pain was still there, and it penetrated from the skin to the flesh, to the bones, and fell into the heart...... Growing so big, he has never been so humiliated!
It's not unreasonable for my aunt to scold herself, what do you think about bullying a child? But he also lost, which made people feel embarrassed, and he just found a piece of tofu and died. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Dagongzi didn't have the face to see his sister, he meditated hard every day, played with his life and practiced, Wang Ning'an's sword impressed him too deeply, fast and fast, as ruthless as a poisonous snake. He kept thinking about how to dodge, but he didn't have the slightest certainty. He could only toss and turn, aimlessly exhausting his energy, and his head went blank and fell into a deep sleep. Then get up again and continue repeating the previous day......
"Brother, you should do something useful." Yang Xi squatted beside Yang Huaiyu and said with concern.
Yang Huaiyu just rolled his eyes, and said weakly: "I will be better than Wang Ning'an, I have a way, as long as I make the sword longer, five feet away, and attack directly, he, he won't have time to draw the sword......" Yang Huaiyu muttered to himself, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and it seemed that he had really found a way.
Yang Xi shook his head when he heard this, "Brother, if you change your weapon, people won't change it!" Besides, Mrs. Gu asked you to stay in Cangzhou, not just a trick to crack Wang Gongzi! ”
"Return the prince? What a kind call! Yang Huaiyu snorted angrily: "Don't you look down on the big brother too?" ”
Yang Xi stretched out his finger and poked Yang Huaiyu's head hard.
"If you continue like this, I really look down on you. When my aunt is leaving, let me tell you. ”
"Oh, what did you say?" Yang Huaiyu said curiously.
"She said let you take a good look, how the Wang family attracts talents, how to do things and behave, in less than a year, they have such a big family business, it is really not to be underestimated!" Yang Xi said with admiration.
……
The opportunity soon came, and after the end of spring ploughing, the Wang family gathered all the members of the Bow and Arrow Society, a total of more than 300 young and strong men, gathered in the Wang family's compound.
Last year, Wang Ningan planned to set up a real Wang family army, but it was only now that he had enough financial resources, to be honest, raising soldiers is really not a simple matter.
The imperial court gave the general forbidden army 50 guan, the utility soldier is much more elite than the ordinary soldiers, the general military salary is more than 100 guan, and the rest of the armor, horses, weapons, grain, meat, forage, and exemption money, Lin Lin finally calculated, raising an elite soldier, at least 200 guan, and it is just daily expenses! Officially start a war, and the cost will be doubled!
It is no wonder that the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty knew that there was such a loophole as the utility man, but they didn't care, because they knew that no one could afford to raise an army that threatened the imperial court.
Moreover, these utilitarians are rewarded for their meritorious service because they want to glorify their ancestors and serve the imperial court. Let them rebel with you, and the price will be more than doubled! Therefore, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was fearless.
Wang Ningan discussed with his father, and if he did it like other people, the Wang family's thin foundation couldn't afford it at all. Besides, just relying on the preferential treatment of money and food, soldiers fighting for money will inevitably have to fight with the wind, and they can't gnaw hard bones, and the Wang family doesn't want such waste.
"Uncles and uncles, it has not been a short time for you to join the Bow and Arrow Society, we are ready to select the official utility based on merit, and from then on, we will completely take off production and concentrate on training the ability to kill, and I will introduce the treatment of utility people."
Each selected utility person can get 100 acres of land suitable for planting sorghum, and the sorghum produced is purchased by the winery, so there is no need to worry about sales.
As long as the sorghum is planted on wasteland, the price of 100 mu of land will not exceed 50 yuan, that is, the salary of a forbidden army for a year. However, the fields that have been reclaimed and harvested every year are equivalent to once and for all, and the heaviest personnel burden is suddenly lighter countless times.
Of course, it's useless for others to look blushing, who makes Cangzhou have a lot of wasteland, the land price is cheap, and Wang Ningan has a wine business in his hand, and how much sorghum can be consumed.
In fact, his method not only solved the pressure of military salaries, but also obtained a stable supply of sorghum, which killed two birds with one stone.
Utility is willing, someone asking? Of course they do!
Even if the yield of sorghum is low, 100 mu, 50 stones are harvested every year, according to the market price, there are 40 yuan, which seems to be less than the forbidden army, but the field is returned to the soldier's family, and there is no deduction, even if the soldier is injured and died, this field will always belong to the family, which is equivalent to earning an iron rice bowl for the children and grandchildren!
The simple farmer loves the land the most, and they accepted it without hesitation.
Of course, Wang Ningan will not let everyone suffer, he continued to tell that each utility person can get 30 catties of wine, a fan of pork, and 20 catties of soybean oil a year. These three things are all produced by Wang Ningan's workshops, and the cost is not high, but they are all necessary for the people's life and are very popular.
Many people silently calculated, the treatment given by the Wang family is not low, they are not so superstitious about currency, after all, copper coins can't be eaten or drunk, or they have to be exchanged for things, instead of taking off their pants and farting, it is better to give things directly!
Wang Ningan's most worried rebound did not appear, and seeing that everyone was convinced, he was even a little embarrassed.
Next, he announced the reward and punishment method, each utility soldier, a month can get 300 basic military salary, one stone of grain, if you participate in the battle, the salary doubled, more than a month of fighting, three times the salary. Kill the enemy, 50 guan for each head, soldiers killed in battle, in addition to a pension of 100 guan, parents are raised by the Wang family, sons are raised until they are 20 years old, and daughters are married until they are adults...... Each benefit has detailed specifications, and in the end, Wang Ningan also threw out a one, the children of the effective scholars' families can be sent to Cangzhou Academy to study, and Ouyang Xiu, the great Confucian and the leader of the literary league, will personally teach.
This one proposed, and the big guys are crazy.
Ouyang Xiu, what a fame! Wang Erlang found a shortcut to the south for the children, and some people kept saluting excitedly, and tears came out.
"A group of country brains, let them study, and a few of them can win the Toad Palace, it's simply wishful thinking!" Yang Huaiyu criticized disdainfully.
Yang Xi glanced at the eldest brother, and said in his heart that Wang Ningan was right, jealousy is a bastard! Without a normal heart, how can you see the subtlety of this method!
"In life, there is always hope, even if there are not many opportunities, you are willing to try. But big brother, where is your pursuit? ”
Yang Huaiyu was asked, yes, his pursuit, is it the girl of Fan Lou? Or defeat Wang Ning'an's sword drawing technique? Yang Huaiyu became more and more irritable, he ran to his room in a huff, closed the door, and sat on the bed deep in thought......
The men who were stimulated by Wang Ning'an's various treatments have begun to show their skills, first of all, they have to pass the physical strength, carrying 60 pounds on their backs, and 10 miles off-road.
It's not that Wang Ning is ruthless, but the step armor of the Great Song Dynasty weighs 60 pounds, and he can't carry the armor, how can he go to the battlefield. After going off-road, out of more than 300 people, less than 200 remained, and a small half of them were eliminated.
Then lift 100 pounds of stone locks, fists and feet, bows and arrows, horseback riding, weapons...... After checking them all, there were only 18 people who could pass all the projects, and Liang Dagang ranked first!
Seeing such a few people, Wang Liangjing was worried, he had been training for so long, could he be so useful?
Wang Liangjing hugged his head and fell into thought.
"Ning An, do you want to lower your standards?"
Wang Ningan has a lot of ideas, but how to select soldiers, he has not done it, according to the reason, he wants to choose the best of the best, but ......
"Ahem, in fact, you don't have to know everything, as long as you are proficient in one or two things, it is enough, and the same is true for our family's trilogy." Yang Xi reminded softly, the father and son of the Wang family woke up like a dream, they were really confused, they actually drilled the horns, and the official army should also be divided into different arms, few of them are all-round, in addition to physical strength, in other projects, if there are one or two outstanding performances, you can be selected for the ministry.
By the afternoon, the number of qualified people had expanded to 93, and from that moment on, they were the official part of the royal family, and the first samurai who were completely out of work were born.
In the evening, Liang Dagang and others took the red flowers, swaggering through the market in Tuta Village, everywhere they went, the children were laughing and shouting, it was even more lively than marrying a daughter-in-law, and lived for more than 20 years, this is Liang Dagang's most beautiful time, there are envious eyes everywhere, so beautiful that only giggles remain......
