Qin Lei said with a smile: "For our Zongzheng Army, the Lone King will adopt a new way of paying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "It's everyone's vital interests, everyone is quiet, and they don't dare to miss a word." I heard Qin Lei continue: "First of all, there is one thing, the rise in salary is certain. "This is to ease some of the tension first.
Everyone's faces really showed joy, and it seemed that no one would hate a salary increase.
Qin Lei still felt that the impact he had caused was not enough, and said with a slight smile: "After the salary increase, everyone's salary will increase by as much as two to six times. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and finally became excited by what Qin Lei said, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so bad?" ”
Qin Lei said with a smile: "In the team of the Lone King, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, have the ability, and can make meritorious contributions, you will get more than others." ”
Everyone thought about it, even if we can't endure hardships, have no ability, and can't make meritorious contributions, it's very good to be able to get twice the salary.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Qin Lei smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "The reason why this method is new is because it will no longer be distributed to individuals, but will be distributed by households. ”
The clan relatives began to discuss in a low voice, and after a while, someone couldn't help but ask: "Some people have a large population, and some have a small population, isn't it too unfair for the prince to do this?" ”
Qin Lei said with a smile: "There are more people with more populations, and there are fewer people with small populations, what's unfair about this?" ”
Someone else asked, "What's the difference between that and a person's hair?" It's nothing more than a collection of hair. ”
Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Wrong, not everyone present can enter the team of the Lone King. Without waiting for everyone to speak, he said loudly, "But at least half of them will stay." In this way, everyone's salary has at least doubled, which means that you take more from the Lone King every month. ”
Everyone was a little short of their brains, and asked each other softly: "You have a good horse hanging, do the math quickly, is it such an account?" But Qin Lei didn't give them time to react, and gave an order loudly: "Now assemble in households, and then each household will nominate those who think they can enter the Zongzheng Mansion as soldiers, and report to the clerks in the mansion." ”
Although everyone seemed to understand the previous rules, Qin Lei's order was understood, so they gathered according to each household in a daze, and the officials of Zongzheng Mansion came down and asked them to register those who could be soldiers.
At this point, all the clan relatives saw that the people on the side seemed to have written, so they had to report the young men in their own family, and they were led by Qin Lei by the nose in a daze.
Qin Lei was not surprised, because he knew that as soon as a person entered the crowd, his IQ would drop by at least thirty percent, and he would blindly obey the so-called authority without reason. The larger the group, the more severe this blind obedience becomes, but when you get out of this group, your mind will clear up, and doubts and even doubts will follow.
After those lists were collected, Qin Lei pointed to the courtyard behind him and said loudly: "Now all those who are not on the list will go to the courtyard, and the Lone King will talk to you alone." ”
Everyone looked at the seventh prince who was the leader, only to see him muttering for a moment, and finally said loudly: "Let's listen to the prince." Saying that, under the leadership of more than a dozen old men, Yuguan entered the mansion.
When the people were almost inside, Qin Lei ordered the young men outside to rest in place first, and then turned around and entered the courtyard.
The front yard of Zongzheng Mansion is an open space like a big teaching field, otherwise it really can't hold two or three thousand old people and children, Qin Lei walked to the platform in the center of the clearing, beckoned everyone to sit down and talk, and he also sat down and smiled: "As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, and now all the treasures of my Qin family are sitting in front of Lonely." ”
These words gave the old men enough face, and they gradually smiled when they sat there. When Qin Lei didn't come in, these old guys had already discussed, as long as the prince dared to dump them, they would go to the Forbidden City to find the queen mother's old man to complain, because his face was not very good at first.
Seeing that the old men's faces were better-looking, Qin Lei smiled gently: "Except for the children, how old is the youngest?" ”
People looked at each other, and someone shouted, "I'm forty-nine." ”
There is also humanity: "I am thirty-nine." Immediately afterwards, many people sitting on the periphery loudly announced their ages, all in their thirties and forties, and even thirty-two years old.
Qin Lei said with slight surprise: "Except for the children, everyone who is less than fifty years old stands up and lets Gu take a look." ”
In the middle of a large group of old men and half-old men, more than 200 people stood up. Qin Lei looked at these people, and his heart was silent, it turned out that these were disabled people who lacked arms and legs. He was not a newcomer, and he knew that in this era there were no whizzing cars, no large machine industry, and apart from war, there were not many opportunities for people to be disabled, especially these clansmen who lived in the middle capital.
He stood up solemnly and asked in a deep voice, "You ...... seventeen years ago?"
A scar-faced man with a lower leg cut off leaned on a crutch and arched his hand: "What the prince said is good, we are all crippled in the middle capital city seventeen years ago. ”
Qin Lei stood up straight, bent back with his right hand into a fist, solemnly placed it on his left chest, and gave a military salute to these disabled veterans, who also clenched their fists meticulously on their chests and returned the salute to Qin Lei solemnly.
After the ceremony, Qin Lei said in a sincere tone: "To Dali, you have all made meritorious contributions to the country. To Xiaoli, it was you who stood up at the critical moment of the intermittent survival of my Qin family, let the world know the children of the Qin family again, and also won back a glimmer of life for my Qin family. ”
The expressions of those disabled clan relatives were originally a little inferior, but after listening to what the great sect said, they finally became proud again, and only heard Qin Lei continue to say affectionately: "Now the situation of my Great Qin, Huangkou children know that the country is not something that our Qin family can say. ”
Everyone bowed their heads in unison, Dazong Zheng did not deceive people, twenty years ago, their Qin clan could still occupy half of the court, but today, twenty years later, there is no one who can handle it in the early dynasty. Qin Shouchuang? That scum didn't think about my Great Qin Sect at all, and just thought about hugging the thighs of the Taiwei and the Prime Minister.
Qin Lei's tone raised slightly: "The state can't compensate you, the royal family has come to repay you!" I, Qin Lei, are here to announce that all the clan relatives who were disabled because of the defense of the Central Capital will enjoy the same treatment as their children and soldiers for life! ”
More than 200 disabled veterans were stunned, tears flowed uncontrollably, they were always regarded as a burden, monsters, even children did not want to live with them, and many people because of their disabilities, no one was willing to marry their daughters, and now they are thirty or forty years old, and they are still a group of old bachelors.
And this young prince, who has always looked down on his clansmen, his first order is to let them have no worries for life. The old soldiers fell to their knees and wept with a whimper. With that generous salary, they are not wasted, and their sons will not kick them around like balls, right? How could they not be thrilled by the thought of this cascade of benefits?
The corners of Qin Lei's eyes were also a little wet, and he said astringently: "Everyone, hurry up, this is what you deserve, and no one needs to thank you." As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the old soldiers and said, "Everyone, please get up, the lonely king still has a reluctant request." ”
Only then did all the old soldiers get up and say in unison: "It's all up to the king's orders." ”
Qin Lei smiled and said, "King Gu wants to invite you to go to the Jingshan camp from time to time to talk to those rookies outside, so that they can know what a real war is." In fact, Qin Lei wanted the soldiers to see the glory of these old soldiers and arouse their self-motivation, but he couldn't say it explicitly.
Naturally, all the veterans did not refuse. Qin Lei invited them to sit down and said to the old men on the side, "Elders, have many of you also participated in that war?" ”
When the old men saw that Qin Lei had just praised those disabled veterans, in addition to being relieved, they were indeed a little pantothenic: Everyone has fought, why don't we have any? At this time, when Qin Lei asked, how could there be any reason not to nod their heads.
Prince Jia told Qin Lei that in that battle, almost all members of the Qin clan went into battle, and there was not a single deserter or coward. Qin Lei originally didn't believe it, thinking that the old prince was selling himself and boasting, but after seeing the group of exiled clan relatives at the foot of Jingshan, Qin Lei believed it, he believed that there was something mysterious in the blood of the Qin family's disciples, as long as he woke it up, there was hope to wake up the former first army in the world.
So Qin Lei also believed these people, he also gave a military salute to these people, and said a few words of comfort with the same gentle words, and then said with some embarrassment: "Originally, everyone should be allowed to enjoy the same treatment, but everyone also knows that the lonely king has returned to China for less than two years, and his foundation is still shallow, so he really can't do it......"
The old men nodded silently, they believed that this young Zongzheng didn't even really expect to get anything, but Qin Lei said leisurely: "But it's okay to let everyone take half of their standards." The old men couldn't help but laugh and said, "But the prince can make a fool of people, just according to what you say." ”
Qin Lei smiled and asked, "Don't you feel wronged?" ”
The Seventh Duke laughed loudly and said: "Lord Rong, it is already a great blessing for us to be able to come down from the battlefield with all our beards and tails, as long as we can eat, we are already content, how can we compare with these workers who leave their arms and legs on the battlefield?" ”
"That's right! It is! There was a chorus of echoes, and the atmosphere in the field was suddenly very harmonious, and the old men felt that this prince was too different, just like ...... Like a fire, it makes people's hearts warm, and they are willing to talk to him and do things with him in their hearts. The feeling of opposition at the beginning has long since disappeared.
In fact, what did Qin Lei pay? If you count it from the books, he only paid double salaries to the more than 200 relatives, and he didn't pay more than 4,800 taels of silver a year. But in fact, Qin Lei gave them the most precious respect and dignity, which is what makes these old guys bow their heads.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and Qin Lei's words naturally worked in ten sentences, but he didn't get to the point, but instead asked about the bits and pieces of the defense battle in the middle of the year. Recalling the eventful years of the past, it is natural to have a great appetite for the old men: this said that when the Eastern Qi army attacked the city, the children could not beat it, so they jumped down the city with the enemy, and relied on this method of exchanging life for life to drive the enemy off the city.
The man who said that there was a shortage of doctors and medicine in the city back then, and the weather was hot, and the wounds of the wounded soldiers and civilians festered one after another, so they could only sawed off the matter, and there was no anesthetic, and it was under these conditions that many people still survived. In retrospect, it seems that people were not human at that time.
After a while, the old men were immersed in the memories of the tragic war, and countless glorious, sacrificial, brave, selfless, united, and witty comrades appeared in the minds of the old men.
Looking at the tears in the eyes of the old men, and looking at the fascinated expressions of the children, Qin Lei knew that his goal had been achieved. After everyone's mood stabilized, Qin Lei asked in a deep voice: "Think about those gilded years, is that really our Qin clan doing it?" ”
The old men seemed to have been greatly wronged, and said nonsense: "Why not? Who of us didn't die at that time? ”
Qin Lei said faintly: "Why did I see a group of prodigal children who were playing horses, fighting crickets, and basking in the sun after just ten years?" ”
Everyone was speechless for a while, and after a long silence, Qigong said with difficulty: "Aren't our government soldiers disbanded?" ”
"Good!" Qin Lei clapped his hands violently and shouted in a low voice: "Now that our government soldiers are going to be rebuilt, what do you say you should do?" "After going around the middle capital city for a long time, I finally brought the topic back to business.
But the effect is obviously different from asking questions directly, without Qin Lei bothering to speak, all the old people expressed their passions one after another, wanting to let the children of the family get rid of their bad habits, become soldiers, and restore the former glory of Zongzheng Mansion soldiers.
Qin Lei smiled happily: "Just as I was about to say this to the elders," he got up and pointed outside: "Please go out to teach your own family, and King Gu will announce that our selection has officially begun." All the old men did not agree, and they got up and went out one after another, and went to find the young man in his own house.
Qin Lei didn't go out immediately, first, to give time to outsiders, and secondly, to rest and drink some water.
Taking the teapot presented by Qin Wei, Qin Lei drank it directly at the spout, and drank most of the pot of tea before it was enjoyable. Qin Wei handed over the pure white towel again, Qin Lei took it and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Do you kid have anything to say?" Don't spit out. ”
Qin Wei smiled slightly: "My subordinates don't understand, you obviously didn't give these people anything, why are they obedient?" ”
Qin Lei shook his head and said softly: "For real men, silver is never the most important thing. After saying that, he continued to drink the tea in the pot.
This is not the same as the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, which made Qin Wei scratch his head vigorously, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence and say, "Is that a woman?" ”
Qin Lei sprayed out all the water, drenched Qin Wei's head all over his body, smiled apologetically, handed him the towel and said, "Following such a noble person as Gu, he is still filthy in his head, and he really hasn't grown." ”
Qin Wei said aggrievedly: "Before I followed the prince, everyone said that I was an honest and reliable little Langjun." ”
Qin Lei glared and scolded with a smile: "Are you expressing 'close to Zhu Zhechi'?" After speaking, he slapped him on the head lightly, and said with a smile as he walked out: "When you understand what is more important than money and women, I will let you go." Qin Wei was overjoyed, and then whispered in distress: "Is there anything more important in this world than these two?" It seems that the prince wants to keep me for the rest of my life. ”
Qin Lei didn't pay any attention to him anymore, and strode out of the courtyard gate of Zongzheng Mansion, and it was already a quarter of noon. Still stepping on the stool on the table, looking around at the psoas muscles, sure enough, the atmosphere was much better than the original, and I couldn't help but be secretly proud to deal with the problem by myself as happy as a cook.
Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Qin Lei said with a smile: "Presumably my father has already told you, but what is more presumably is that you can't understand your father's mood yet." Everyone let out a slight laugh, and while being amused by this master, they also recognized his statement.
"But it doesn't matter, we have time to communicate slowly, and I believe that one day, you will love me like your father." Qin Lei said with a bright smile.
The clansmen of Yidajie had to admit that at least this prince didn't look so annoying.
Coughing, Qin Lei suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, it's time to eat." Lonely at noon today, he asked loudly in the palace, "What are you prepared for everyone?" ”
Shi Yong also replied loudly from inside: "Beef stewed vermicelli, and big vegetable buns are full!" ”
First stood on Yanqing Street for a morning, and then stayed on Zongzheng Street for a morning, everyone was already hungry, and when they heard the 'beef stewed vermicelli', they drooled down.
I only heard Qin Lei ask with a smile, "Do you want to eat?" ”
"Xiang ......" tens of thousands of people replied in unison, and the voice even reached the forbidden palace, which made the prince who accompanied the emperor to dinner very unhappy, and slandered: "It's a fragrant fart!" ”
Emperor Zhaowu's taste was extremely light, and there was almost no salt in the imperial meal.
"If you want to eat, climb the pole first." Qin Lei smiled evilly.
