The reason why Zhang Mengjin's soldiers in Jindingshan are quite brave and good at fighting. In addition to being well-trained and well-equipped, the most important thing is that Jindingshan is well treated. Not only is the monthly food supply guaranteed for the soldiers, but the soldiers also enjoy various privileges. This is very rare in the poor town of Yansui.

The monthly rations of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are divided into two kinds: the natural color and the folded color, the true color is the completely physical grain, and the folded color has been completely converted into silver money after the early treasure money can not be done. Although this was the result of the development of the commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty, it was not a good thing for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

For the soldiers of the Ming army who were stationed everywhere, the distribution of true colors and folded colors by the imperial court was not so uniform and standardized. In some places, the true color will be folded for half a year and half a year, and if the true color can be distributed in October and two months, it can make most of the Ming army feel envious.

In other places, there will be a mixture of natural and folded colors every month, four distributions of grain, six distributions of silver coins, or two cents of grain and eight cents of silver, and so on.

Although the distribution of silver money allowed soldiers to purchase food or other supplies, it was more liberal than the distribution of food and other supplies entirely in kind. However, in the more than 200 years of development of the Ming Dynasty, prices have been changing, and the price of grain in the border towns has risen several times.

In the Liaodong region, which is under the focus of the imperial court, although the imperial court spends a lot of money every year, the supply of grain has not been able to keep up, and the large amount of military expenditure every year only keeps up the price of grain in the region.

This is still because the officials of the imperial court have a conscience and try to deduct as little as possible from military salaries. In the even more difficult town of Yansui, many soldiers are already very reluctant to support themselves, and it is even more difficult to support their families.

Many soldiers have worked hard for most of their lives, but they can't even marry a wife. can only starve and be fed, hoping that he can get a little reward for meritorious service on the battlefield and change his miserable life.

Most of the soldiers in Yansui Town felt that they were a bad life, and even if they died in battle, there was nothing to be sorry for. Therefore, one of the reasons why the brave and fearless spirit of the soldiers in Yansui Town on the battlefield is also because they have a relatively low value of life.

In response to these problems, Jindingshan gradually adjusted various measures based on the ration system of the original bandit period, so that the soldiers could fight with peace of mind.

The first is to insist on a completely natural grain supply method for monthly grains, although there are only a few buckets of grain per month. However, this food is directly supplied to their small family in the cottage, and their own daily rations in the army are not counted, but are completely borne by the cottage.

At the same time, every soldier in Jindingshan will get a share of the cottage land at home, and the annual collection of village grain is less than that of ordinary tunding. And there is no need to bear the conscription, and some benefits will be issued during the New Year's holidays. Therefore, their life is much better than that of other soldiers in Yansui Town.

And after each battle, the captured materials must be handed over to the cottage. According to their respective functions and performances, they are distributed in a certain proportion, and it is useless for anyone to cut off a few heads.

For example, if the soldiers of Jindingshan have ten heads in battle, the charging people will get six, the projection force will get two, the soldiers who harvest the heads and defend the camp will get two, and the rest of the money, livestock, clothing, etc., will be distributed roughly according to this situation.

Therefore, after the night attack in Ansai County fell behind, Jindingshan began to distribute a new round of loot. Although there were not many goods such as silver and food, one harvest that was very popular with the soldiers was the capture of young women.

After Guan Zhiqing and Zhang Mengcheng returned to Jinding Mountain with the soldiers and the capture, they began the routine distribution work. In this night raid, the officers and troops completely annihilated the thieves in Ansai with insignificant losses. After that, Jin Dingshan and Artemisia secretly divided the seized silver money and livestock equally, and at the same time took what they needed and brought back a lot of captured personnel.

Although they were jealous of the craftsmen and jianding who had been separated from the mugwort peak, the leaders of Jinding Mountain still chose women, children, and most of the money, food, and materials. Because of the rapid expansion of Jinding Mountain, it is not as rich as the peak of mugwort.

Therefore, many of the newly subdued population are sturdy Ding men. At present, the proportion of young men and women in Artemisia has been seriously imbalanced, in order to win people's hearts, Zhang Mengcheng persuaded Guan Zhiqing this time, mainly selected many women in the population.

In addition, the silver coins seized this time were rewarded to the meritorious soldiers. Therefore, in this open plunder, the military spirit of the soldiers of Jindingshan has been greatly stimulated.

Now that a lot of the tundi in Jinding Mountain has been distributed, the soldiers who followed Zhang Mengjin have certain assets. With the material foundation and the fetters of the family, as long as Zhang Mengjin and other leaders continue to train seriously, the armed forces under their command will definitely become stronger.

For the soldiers who returned to the cottage, if they didn't need to get the women back, they could also sell them to other men in the cottage. Many Tunding who failed to join the Jindingshan army would throw their money at these soldiers. So when Guan Zhiqing and other leaders came back with the team, Jindingshan would immediately become an ugly human trading market.

For this kind of thing that he couldn't think of in his previous life, Zhang Mengcheng, who was already used to seeing the scene, had long been numb in his heart, and he was even the host and witness of this kind of trading activity.

For all transactions in the village, Zhang Mengcheng needs to make a detailed register. Therefore, Zhang Mengcheng, a person who has accepted the baptism of civilization in later generations, has always insisted that he is a hopeless scumbag, and there is no doubt about human traffickers.

"Dayong, brother, Angkor, you can sell it to me, I've been a bachelor for a few years, and you can't look down on it anyway this time, so you can sell it to me."

"Don't sell it to him, Dayong, listen to me, I gave more silver than him, sell it to me. I also gave you two big fat sheep, sister-in-law is not short of jewelry, and I will give you a hairpin with it. ”

"Brother Dayong, last time we drank, you promised to grab another aunt next time, and you will sell it to me. Your mother-in-law was also present at the time, don't deny it, there is no man in northern Shaanxi who denies it. ”

"Hungry, hungry to ......" Wu Dayong was sought after by several people, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. However, he hesitated to find that several more buyers were planning to join in. It's a happy worry that my goods are so popular.

Although Wu Dayong's performance this time is good, it is not the most superior. So the money he got in this battle was not much, but Wu Dayong's luck was very good. According to the batch of military merits, the best woman in it was selected by him, and Wu Dayong was a little greedy, wanting to keep this woman for himself to enjoy.

However, the family has just given birth to a baby recently, and relatives from other places have come to him. Wu Dayong of the Gu family still resisted the temptation, and planned to sell this sought-after "commodity" as soon as possible, and exchange some more money for his family.
