Chapter 39 It's not easy to raise a soldier

As the days continued, Wang Dalun lived a very regular life, and it can even be said that he fell into a gentle township.

Since the oolong incident on the morning of the second day of the attack, Fang Wen'er and Wang Dalun have become closer, and finally on a dark and windy night, the two performed the Zhou Gong ceremony.

After the two broke through that relationship, because they were both young people, they played crazy, and at the suggestion of Wang Dalun, who watched action movies in many island countries, they played all the postures. And the most ridiculous thing is that one night, at the suggestion of Wang Dalun, Fang Wen'er, Xicui and Chunqiao actually slept together.

Wang Dalun's debauched life made Lin Xiaoqing, who was used to seeing him on the grassland, feel unacceptable, and every time he looked at Wang Dalun, he felt like a pervert.

And Wang Dalun was very proud, because after his hard work, he finally got a bottle of gene enhancement liquid from the system. Although it's not as mysterious as fantasy novels, the effect is still very good. Of course, good things are definitely used by yourself, and you won't tell others.

Wang Dalun, who lives a happy life, gets up every day and eats early, and starts to wander around. When it came to eating breakfast, Steward Wu was sad, why did the young master change his eating habits since he was beaten.

I don't like steamed bread and other pasta very much, and after eating steamed bread more times, Wang Dalun looks constipated, so he doesn't eat it anymore. And strongly asked Wu Liang to find rice to make porridge.

Watching Wang Dalun drink porridge happily, Wu conscience was dripping blood in his heart! Youma, is this good in the north, this land does not produce this, it is difficult to buy, and it is very expensive!

Because he had to wait for the house to be built before he could marry Lin Xiaoqing and enter the door, Wang Dalun was very concerned about the progress of the house, after all, it was related to sexual happiness, so Wang Dalun kept an eye on the progress every day.

Wu Liang felt even more sad about building a house, and the three losers in the family all demanded that the house should be built more, and the area should be at least three times larger than before, because there are too many people to live in now.

And Wang Dashao, the "nouveau riche", also said: "We are rich now, not the turtles we used to be, we want to build a big house, not only to make people look envious, but also to be very strong, so that the enemy can't bombard it with artillery!" ”

Wu Liang burst into tears when he heard this, you are a loser, you think you are building a turtle shell! Besides, after it is built, people don't call you "turtle", but directly call you "turtle", isn't this the same?

Although I don't agree with it very much in my heart, who calls Wang Dalun the master, there is only execution, in addition to recruiting more workers, but also using those former bandits like cattle, and spending money and food like flowing water.

Just as Wang Dalun looked at the busy crowd and calculated when he would be able to build the house and marry a beauty, Wu Liang said to Wang Dalun with a bitter face: "Young master, the food at home is almost finished!" ”

"What? It can't be, isn't there a lot of food at home? Wang Dalun asked in surprise.

"Young master, there is a lot of food at home, but I can't hold back a lot of mouths. You calculate, there were less than 30 people in the family, but now? Miss Lin brought more than 20, those sect leaders 10, thieves more than 30, and their families have more than 100, which is an extra 160 mouths, and there are more than 20 people who help build the house, isn't this almost 200 people eating? Wu Liang calculated.

When Wang Dalun heard this, he realized that there were so many more people eating unconsciously, no wonder there was not enough food.

"By the way, there are more than 20 horses, horses are good horses, but they eat better than people, not only eat grass, but also have to feed soybeans, and from time to time they have to feed eggs. You calculate, isn't that another big expense? Wu Liang reminded.

"Your sister, no wonder BMWs are rich people's things, no matter what kind of horses they are, they are all money-burning things." Wang Dalun complained in his heart.

"Steward Wu, didn't I remember that I got some seizures when I copied Erlong Mountain?" Wang Dalun asked.

"Hey! Who is a thief has how much grain he has, and there are only more than 100 acres of land planted on the mountain, and they are all accustomed to people who sometimes work hard to build and rob when they don't, how much can they have left? The food was only enough for them to feed themselves for more than a month, and there were still three hundred taels of silver. Wu Liang said helplessly.

"It seems that the profession of bandit has little future! So poor! Wang Dalun said with cold humor.

Wu Liang smiled and immediately said seriously: "Young Master, should we buy some food and come back?" ”

"You can do it, just buy it for two months, and the crops will be ready to be harvested in a while. By the way, how much money do you have in the house? ”

"There are 1,000 taels, no one has come to buy medicine recently, and it took 4,000 taels to build a house, and now it is busy farming, and it is a bit expensive to hire labor, but the most expensive is wood, because there are fewer local trees, and you have to ask for so much, you have to buy them from other places." Wu Liang looked at the ledger and said.

Youma, it's really expensive to build a house, Wang Dalun only now knows that it is not easy to build a house in ancient times. Money, money, it's really "money is used when it is used to hate less"!

Wang Dalun thinks about the expenses for building a house in the future, as well as the expenses for the group training of the 300 people, his head is big.

"How much will it cost to finish the house?" Wang Dalun asked.

"Well, I estimated it, because the early materials are almost purchased, maybe five hundred taels."

Wu Liang's words made Wang Dalun breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately there weren't so many, so he asked Wu Liang to hurry up and buy food. I brought Lin Xiaoqing here, and was going to ask her how much it cost her to raise three hundred regiments to practice in a year.

"I don't know what to do!" Faced with Wang Dalun's question, Lin Xiaoqing spread his hands and said.

"You're a swarming young lady, would you not know this? Then you know how much it costs your father to maintain this organization every year, right? ”

"I don't know about this!" Lin Xiaoqing spread her hands and said, looking at Wang Dalun's incomprehensible eyes, she explained: "On the grassland, everyone doesn't use silver, most of them are bartered. Besides, we are horse thieves, do we need to buy things, we are all robbed, and some are the protection fees paid by those merchant groups and small tribes. ”

"Then you're going to have to pay the people down there, right? Who will sell you if you don't have money? Wang Dalun asked suspiciously.

Lin Xiaoqing thought for a while and said: "This is not a fixed hair, we basically rely on seizures, if someone pays the protection fee, it will be sent to everyone." ”

Damn, isn't this the Ming Dynasty version of an underworld organization! Wang Dalun vomited. This is completely informative, I'm a team practice, I can't rob it.

"I know the way!" Fang Wen'er saw Wang Dalun and Lin Xiaoqing hiding together and muttering, afraid that the two would have some adultery, and when she followed up, she just heard this question.

"Could it be that her nose is a dog's nose? Follow in a blink of an eye! Wang Dalun complained about Fang Wen'er's vinegar in his heart, and said: "What do you know?" ”

"Of course I know, don't forget that I can see the newspaper." Fang Wen'er said ostentatiously.

"Then tell me, how much silver and how much grain does it cost for a year of training in this regiment?"

"It's very simple, each soldier can get about four taels of silver a year, and he has to eat about four stones of grain a year, plus clothes and equipment, which is about eight taels of silver and four stones of food a year." Fang Wen'er said simply.

"I calculate, if there are three hundred people, I will spend two thousand five hundred taels of silver and one thousand two hundred stone of grain a year. I went! I only have 650 acres of land, and I only have enough more than 1,000 stone of grain a year, and I and the tenants don't eat or drink, which is just enough for them to eat! Wang Dalun exclaimed.

"Call you stupid and you still don't admit it! Where is the one who reckons like that? Fang Wen'er looked at Wang Dalun's surprised appearance, and said with a smile.

"How do you calculate, I'm not wrong, I'll make a mistake with such a simple multiplication?" Wang Dalun said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course you're miscalculated!" Fang Wen'er hated iron and said, "Let me ask you, is your regimental training an army?" Of course not! So is it necessary for you to charge such a high sum of silver? ”

"You let the tenants each give one or two strong laborers, busy them when the farm is busy, organize them to practice when the farm is slack, arrange people to be on duty at ordinary times, call them when there is something, collect rent or subsidize them at the end of the year, they can get more money than just farming, do you think they are willing?"

"You are generous, how much is it for one person to send five coins of silver? but a hundred and fifty taels of silver. If you are generous enough to give a set of clothes for one person a year, it will only be thirty taels of silver according to one penny of silver. With weapons and equipment, regimental training, just use knives and guns, and the maximum is two hundred taels of silver a year. Fang Wen'er calculated carefully.

"But, but I promised to give those border soldiers a tael of silver a month! Zhang Bao promised to give two taels of silver a month. Wang Dalun now knows why the money is so not enough to spend, in a common saying, it is "a big snake with a big hole"!

"Well, it's good to count them one hundred and fifty taels of silver, after all, their current performance is still very good, they are the backbone of the team, and they need to be taken care of." Fang Wen'er said.

Then he looked at Lin Xiaoqing, and then said: "Sister Lin's more than 20 athletes are also our backbone, don't slack off them, so let's do it, their monthly silver is also two taels, plus the chewing of the war horse, it is good to count three hundred taels of silver a year." ”

"That's six hundred and fifty taels of silver a year!" Wang Dalun calculated.

"Well, it's not much, there are a thousand households in the army, and the maximum number of pro-soldiers that can be pulled out is 200, and you can pull out 50 people at any time even if you have a family in your hand, it's not bad!" Fang Wen'er commented.

"By the way, you must increase the treatment of the family members who participate in the regimental training, it should be similar to that of the border army, give them ten taels of silver every year, and it will be eight hundred and fifty taels of silver!" Fang Wen'er calculated.

"You're wrong, the people who can pull out are not fifty, it's eighty! Those bandits are also the most powerful! Lin Xiaoqing was unwilling to let Fang Wen'er perform alone, and said on the side.
