In the morning, a gong sounded, shattering the tranquility of the castle, which Ren Siqi named Gaoting Town. The Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info crew members walked out of their barracks and walked towards the small square located at the south gate of the castle.

On the high platform on the north side of the square, there was a table, and Ren Siqi was sitting behind the table in a brand-new official robe. A wide cyan official uniform is embroidered with a seahorse on the chest, a black gauze hat, a mille-feuille bottom official boots, and a black horn belt tied around the waist, which makes the figure even more upright and magnificent. Ren Siqi is already handsome, and wearing an official uniform on his body adds a bit of majesty to him.

Mao Shiba, Sima Nanshafu and others sat on the left and right, and Xiong Er Anthony stood aside.

On the case, there are flags and arrows, four treasures of the study, and the most conspicuous thing is a fist-sized official seal wrapped in red silk and placed aside.

Seeing the situation on the stage, the crew members who had been walking slowly sped up a few points, and lined up according to their ships in the square in front of the stage.

And Jin Yufei and the hundred township soldiers commanded by Monroe had already lined up to the side.

"Isn't it a reward today? What are they doing here? A crew member asked, looking at the neat line of villagers.

"Of course, it's also silver, you think it's you? People have worked hard to build a camp on the island, and there is no merit and hard work! Another crew member said.

"Hurry up, stand still! What about you, what are you looking at? Chen Sheng, the temporary head of each sailboat, and others yelled desperately, scolding their subordinates.

In front of the array of villagers, Jin Yufei looked at the chaotic queue of the crew with disdain, and glanced at Monroe.

Before the fleet went to Japan to trade, Jin Yufei was a little dissatisfied with Ren Siqi leaving him to guard the island. But in the past few months, watching a hundred of his subordinates gradually grow up under his own training, from casual pedantic and vulgar farmers to soldiers who are forbidden by order, Jin Yufei's heart is full of pride.

In the past few months, they have to train and help build the castle at the same time, and Monroe is very strict with the training requirements, so it can be said that everyone has suffered a lot.

Fortunately, the subordinates are all hard-working islanders, and Jin Yufei and Monroe lead by example, plus the food is very good, everyone persevered, and turned from a group of scattered people into an elite army. Looking at the scattered formation of the crew next to them and listening to their noisy voices, the villagers were full of pride.

Looking at the contrasting two groups of people below, Ren Siqi frowned, it seems that the team's reorganization and training are urgent!

After finishing the queue, Ren Siqi stood up and walked to the front of the stage. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Ren Siqi.

"Brethren!" Ren Siqi lucked his luck and said loudly. Lang Lang's voice spread throughout the audience, and everyone below immediately held their breath, quietly listening to what their owner wanted to say.

"Brothers, everyone has seen the official uniform I am wearing, and you may have heard of it. Yes, I am an official, and I will be the inspector of the Daishan Inspection Division in the future, and everyone will be from the Inspection Division. ”

"Then we can't call you the owner in the future, it's time to call you the inspection master!" A crew member standing in the front row shouted loudly, causing everyone to laugh at once. Ren Siqi usually gives everyone the impression that he is amiable, and many people dare to joke with him.

"What kind of inspection master, you want to call your lord!" Sima Nan hurriedly stepped forward, smiled flatteringly at Ren Siqi, turned around and scolded sharply.

Ren Siqi waved his hand: "We are all our own brothers, and we are all a family." Whether it's the owner or the inspection, it's just a title. Don't worry. ”

"Brothers, in the past few months, you have gone to Japan to trade with me, and it can be said that we have gone through a lot of hardships, we have weathered the hurricane and met the powerful Dutch, but we have survived! Not only did we survive, but our team got bigger and bigger, from two boats to nine boats, from a few dozen people at the beginning to more than five hundred!

Whether it's the original old man or the new brother. From now on, you are all my brothers, and you are all a family.

Of course, the 100 brothers who stayed on Daishan Island also worked hard, they guarded our old nest and built such a good camp for us. Brothers, you are all good! ”

"We went to Japan this time and made a lot of profits, and the silver we earned is a share of each of you!"

With Ren Siqi's words, the four people carried two baskets to the front of the stage, and in the basket was an ingot of silver and a white eagle, and everyone's eyes suddenly became hot.

At Ren Siqi's suggestion, Song Liben took a booklet, stood in front, and began to read. Every time Song Liben read a name, a person ran out happily and accepted his reward.

On this trip to Japan, counting the silver on the captured Dutch ship "Princess", the balance was as much as 450,000 yuan, of course, of which 60,000 or 70,000 taels should be given to Liu Defu. And when the silver is greater, the reward is greater. The old crew members were each rewarded with at least one hundred taels, and the new crew members in Nagasaki were also rewarded with a few dozen taels to one hundred taels each. The fifty or so Japanese samurai had already paid them what they deserved, but this time Ren Siqi gave them an additional five taels of silver each.

The first was the reward of the crew, and the whole square was in jubilation.

On the side of the square, Jin Yufei stood there quietly with a hundred village soldiers, no matter how noisy they were, their formation stood majestic.

After sending out the rewards of the crew who returned from Japan, the next step was the hundred soldiers. In terms of seniority, these hundred soldiers were not as good as the dozens of old sailors, and in terms of merit, they were not as good as the sailors who had experienced the naval battle with the Dutch, so they received the least reward, only twenty taels of silver each, but this had already plunged them into a carnival. Because these people who were farmers and fishermen a few months ago, they often couldn't save a few taels of silver all year round, and now they have joined the village soldiers, not to mention their monthly salary, and now they have been paid as much as ten taels of silver at once, which makes them not overjoyed!

"My lord, is there a bit of money to be issued?" Song Liben quietly stood beside Ren Siqi and whispered.

"Is it much? Not much. Ren Siqi was stunned. This time, everyone's rewards added up to less than 50,000 taels of silver, but the fleet returned from Japan and earned more than 40,000 taels.

"We made a lot of money this time, but next time, who can guarantee that we will have good luck this time in the future, in the future, our team will be more and more, and the number of people will be more and more, and we will definitely not be able to make money as much as we are now!" Song Liben said solemnly.

Ren Siqi thought about it carefully and found that what Song Liben said was really reasonable. The power that is only condensed with silver is very fragile, what if there is no money in the future? Will the team fall apart?

"Do you have any good ideas?" Ren Siqi asked in a low voice.

"Don't you have a lot of rules, owner? I think we should make a salary regulation, stipulating the salary that everyone should get, and if we take the salary of adults, then it is natural to fight for adults. As for the reward, it cannot be issued indiscriminately, and can be issued once a year at the end of the year. As for these soldiers, they must not be allowed to overpay. Hunters who know how to hunt know this, the hound can't let it eat too much, and if it eats too much, it will lose interest in searching for prey, and the same goes for soldiers! Song Liben's compassionate words echoed in Ren Siqi's ears.

Looking at the elated people below, Ren Siqi nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, I have another idea! These people have taken a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it on the island, so we can open some shops on the island and sell all kinds of goods, so that the money in their hands will eventually flow back into the hands of adults! Song Liben said again.

Ren Siqi turned around when he heard the words and looked at Song Liben fixedly.

"What, sir, did I say something wrong?" Song Liben said with an uneasy expression.

"No, no, no, you're right, on the contrary, your idea is really good. Thou art my son! Ren Siqi patted Song Liben's shoulder and praised it. (To be continued.) )
