Chapter 57: Morale is available

After Yang Xingguo's words were finished, Wang Hu's face on the side became gloomy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, the reason why he went into the mountains to become a bandit was because his father died on the battlefield as a soldier, and the family really couldn't survive, so he went up to the mountain to become a bandit. Then, step by step, it reached today's status.

Now, after losing the breadwinner and the only income of the family, there is no doubt that the families will step by step towards despair, and finally end up with a ruined family......

At this moment, Wang Hu, who had a gloomy face, suddenly found that the worry on Commander Yang Xingguo's face was slowly covered by a thoughtful expression......

"Could it be that Commander Yang Xingguo has a solution?" A very bold idea suddenly flashed through Wang Hu's mind.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was vetoed by Wang Hu himself.

In Wang Hu's view, how can there be a solution to a problem that even the imperial court can't solve, a small cottage of his own......

Just when Wang Hu shook his head with a helpless face, Yang Xingguo suddenly asked: "Deputy Commander Wang, as far as I know, the imperial court has a pension, hasn't the pension been sent to your family......

"Pension ......" Hearing these three words, Wang Hu immediately showed a heartfelt mocking expression on his face.

Under Yang Xingguo's gaze, he did not hesitate to say sarcastically: "My father died on the battlefield, and the imperial court issued a total of thirty taels of silver pension. As for the thirty taels of silver, after layers of deductions, it finally fell into his hands, and it was not even fifteen taels of silver......"

"Deputy commander, do you think that in such a harsh environment outside the customs, how long can a family of three live for fifteen taels ......of silver?"

Speaking of this, Wang Hu seemed to have something in mind. After a trace of hesitation on his face, he continued to speak: "If you are a soldier in the imperial court, no matter what, you can still get some pension after you die in battle." ”

"But being a bandit is different, dead is dead. Not only will you not get any pension, but you won't even be sympathetic......"

"So, it's normal for brothers to have this kind of situation...... After a while, the matter will slowly fade, and the morale of the brothers will be raised again. So, please don't worry too much, Commander......"

Yang Xingguo's face quickly flashed with a look of sudden realization before he spoke: "Now I finally understand why bandits can only win battles, but not defeat battles...... Because the bandits are afraid of death, once the battle is lost, the hearts of the people will be scattered. ”

"You're right, time can dilute everything. After a long time, the remaining brothers will forget those who died in battle, and forget their fear of death for a while. However, I will say that I did not have that long to wait, and the enemy will not give us that much time to prepare......"

"We have to find a way to restore the morale of our brothers immediately for the new battles that may arise...... If possible, it would be better to make the brothers no longer afraid of the battlefield and afraid of death......"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible...... Commander, how can people not be afraid of death, I think, no matter what, we can't do this......" As soon as Yang Xingguo's request was spoken, Wang Hu retorted with a firm face.

For these rebuttals, Yang Xingguo did not take them to heart, but replied confidently: "In this world, there is no impossibility, only whether we are willing to do it......"

"Brothers are afraid of death because they are worried about their families, so we will let them completely reassure their families......"

"You just said that there is no pension when bandits...... Then I, Yang Xingguo, will set another precedent and give pensions to the brothers who died in the war, and it will be higher than that of the imperial court, so that the families of the brothers who died in the war can live well only with these pensions......"

"Outside the customs, the price of one acre of good land is ten taels of silver, and the salary we give to our brothers is twenty-four taels a year. Then we will give a one-time pension of one hundred taels of silver to the families of the brothers who died in battle......"

"Although one hundred taels of silver is not much, it is enough for the families of these brothers to buy ten acres of good land, and they can live in peace......

"Of course, if there are brothers who are willing, we can take their families to the cottage and cultivate the land behind the cottage, and our cottage will feed them for a lifetime, so that they can have a settlement for the rest of their lives......"

Wang Hu's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously agreed.

However, before the words could be spoken, Wang Hu swallowed them back.

Because, in Wang Hu's opinion, the pension of one hundred taels of silver is too much......

This time, the cottage was lucky, and it lost more than 50 people. According to the pension of one hundred taels per person, that is more than five thousand taels of silver, and the cottage can afford it.

However, the luck of the cottage will not be good all the time, if the loss of the cottage is more than 100 one day, or even hundreds of people, with the strength of the cottage, can you take out tens of thousands of taels of silver at one time...... If you can't take it out, the remaining brothers of the cottage will not rebel directly, because the cottage can't keep its promise and leave the cottage......

In the face of Wang Hu's various worries, Yang Xingguo, who had already thought of a solution, replied directly with a confident face: "There is no problem, since I dare to speak, then there is a solution......

"And that's just the beginning. When our Yangjiazhai further develops and grows and has its own territory, we can use the fertile land to offset the silver...... Our northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and some of them are compensated for the families of the brothers who died in the war as pensions......"

"Of course, that's all for later...... Now, the most important thing we need to do is to inform everyone of the decision of the cottage to pay pensions to the brothers who died in the war, so as to boost everyone's morale......"

A one-time pension of one hundred taels of silver......

When the news spread, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.

However, when they received repeated confirmation from their company and platoon commanders, this disbelief was then replaced by suspicion......

In their opinion, how can the bandits give everyone such a pension, which is several times higher than that of the imperial court......

Could it be that Commander Yang Xingguo deliberately said this decision to deceive everyone in order to make everyone desperate......

After seeing the doubt and disbelief on everyone's faces, Yang Xingguo did not give up, and then made a decision again......

"The decision to grant a pension was implemented yesterday...... For the brothers who died in the battle today, each brother's family can receive a pension of one hundred taels, and all the brothers in the entire cottage can be supervised, and one hundred taels of silver, a lot of money, will be distributed directly to the families of the brothers who died in the battle from the cottage......"

At the same time, Yang Xingguo also specially gathered more than 400 soldiers of the whole battalion in the mine, and assured everyone as the commander, that is, the big boss......

At this time, most of the brothers believed it......

In Yang Xingguo's words, he can give everyone a military salary that is higher than that of the imperial court patrol battalion, and he can give everyone a pension that is higher than that of the imperial court!

As soon as the words were spoken, more than 400 brothers shouted the slogan "Long live the commander...... under the leadership of Wang Hu and other well-intentioned people.

And it was only at this moment that the more than 400 brothers in front of them completely reacted from the grief of the injured brothers.

Faced with this situation, while Yang Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief, he subconsciously said: "The morale of the brothers can be ......."
