After some politeness, everyone entered the topic, Li Mingyuan looked around at the four of them, and found that it was really like things to gather people in groups, Yue Shenfei and Sun Xianyong were similar to Du Xiuyuan, they all belonged to the pragmatic school, and the thick calluses in the tiger's mouth were enough to prove their qualifications, most of such martial artists had their own beliefs and glory in their hearts, and they were the ones who could strive for the most use.

"How much money can you get every month now?" Li Mingyuan said directly.

After the four of them looked at each other with some curiosity, Du Xiuyuan and Gao Zhiping were the first to speak, "We now have five taels a month!" "Because the two of them are military attachés, they can't turn their salaries into military salaries like the big soldiers, they have to be called Yulu, although they have the same meaning.

Hearing that the two six-rank military attachés were only five taels a month, Li Mingyuan couldn't help frowning, and his eyes fell on Sun Xianyong.

"I, this guerrilla general, is a fifth-grade official, twice as many as the two of them, ten taels!" Sun Xianyong stretched out two fingers proudly.

Li Mingyuan's face darkened again, and the two of them tapped their fingers lightly on the table, waiting for Yue Shenfei's answer.

"There are nearly 3,000 soldiers under Yue's command, and he earns twenty taels a month!" Yue Shenfei said expressionlessly, unable to tell whether he was satisfied with this Lu or dissatisfied.

"All of you big brothers are so rich, how much is the salary of an ordinary sergeant a month?" Li Mingyuan couldn't help but ask.

Du Xiuyuan glanced at Li Mingyuan with some surprise, and said with a smile, "It's enough to be a soldier and eat, and it's good to be able to give a few hundred dollars a month!" ”

"That's it, it's often in arrears!" Gao Zhiping added with a dark face.

Li Mingyuan: "·········! ”

"General Yue, the salary of my Tiger Ben Army should not be so low, I remember that according to Emperor Gaozu's holy decree, the salary of the border army should be the highest among all armies in the country, and ordinary soldiers should also have a salary of two or three taels per month, and the officers will be doubled according to their ranks!" Li Mingyuan recalled with a frown.

"And such a good thing?" Gao Zhiping said in disbelief with wide eyes.

"I've only heard of it!" Du Xiuyuan shook his head.

After Yue Shenfei looked at Li Mingyuan, he said indifferently, "That was a few decades ago, in recent years, the imperial court has emphasized literature and light on military force, and the treatment of our border army is getting lower and lower, and now we can still fill our stomachs, and it is difficult to say whether we can eat enough in the future!" ”

Hearing Yue Shenfei's somewhat frustrated words, the room fell silent again, everyone was a tiger soldier, one was prosperous, and the other was lost. Hearing that they might not even be able to eat enough in the future, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"Where did our pay go?" Gao Zhiping was a little puzzled.

"Where else can I go, I'm corrupt!" Sun Xianyong didn't have a good airway.

Du Xiuyuan seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up and said, "A few days ago, I saw a few captains of the rear army, and they were only six or seven grades, and they were more majestic than the generals of our Chinese army. ”

Piaoxianglou is a high-end entertainment club in the whole Liangzhou, and it is a chic place for some dignitaries, if you don't have a dozen taels of silver in your waist, you are embarrassed to enter the door of others.

"His grandmother's, real or fake? is also floating in the fragrance building, Lao Tzu has no money to visit the earthen kiln now! Gao Zhiping stared at him in disbelief.

Because of Lao Gao's simplicity and directness, the room fell silent again. Although everyone is a man, but Lao Gao, you are so direct that you seem to have no quality, not only that, but you also took off the retreat of everyone in the room.

"Ahem, don't go to that kind of place, you're also a father!" Yue Shenfei has always been unfazed, but this time he was also thundered by Gao Zhiping.

"Yes, General, I haven't been there for a long time!" Gao Zhiping said with a red face.

"That's because you don't have any money!" Du Xiuyuan sneered.

"If you have money, we won't go! I want to save money for my son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future! At this moment, Gao Zhiping has become a noble person, a pure person, and a person who has detached himself from low-level interests, which makes everyone present awe-inspired!

"Where did the people in the rear army get so much money?" Jokes are jokes, and everyone has not forgotten the topic.

"I don't know about this, isn't the salary of their rear army deducted?" Du Xiuyuan guessed.

Yue Shenfei shook his head and said firmly, "This is impossible, every time the military salary of the imperial court is pressed, the Hou Ye and the people of the front army and the rear army will count it clearly in person, everyone divides the silver according to the number of people, although the rear army has few people, but the silver is also small, maybe even the captain has the money to visit Piaoxiang Building!" ”

"That's weird, could it be that the rear army has any way to get money?" Li Mingyuan guessed.

"There's nothing strange about it, the rear army has always been a rich flow of oil for officers, and the big-headed soldiers are bitter and have enough food and clothing!" Yue Shenfei seemed to be quite disgusted with the rear army, and frowned and said curiously.

"Drink the blood of the soldiers!" Li Mingyuan was shocked.

Yue Shenfei was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "So to speak!" ”

"We can't control the corruption of high-ranking officials in the capital, and can't we manage the corruption of the rear army?" Li Mingyuan couldn't help but be full of resentment.

Sun Xianyong tilted his head sideways and said, "The general of the rear army is Yang Xuhui, and the Hou Ye has long wanted to clean him up." It's useless to fight, flattery, stammering with the boss, and embezzling military salaries is nothing less than him! ”

"Then fuck it, take that guy directly into the house, and he will definitely be able to make a lot of money!" Li Mingyuan said excitedly.

"I can't do it!" Yue Shenfei looked at Li Mingyuan, who had a passionate face, and directly poured cold water.

"Why!"

"There's someone on top of the house!"

"It can't be another prince, right?" Li Mingyuan said cautiously.

"It's worthy of being the godson of Master Hou, so smart!" Yue Shenfei rarely praised people, but Li Mingyuan, who was praised, was not in such a good mood.

As an authentic Han people, Li Mingyuan has a kind of pride belonging to the Han nation in his heart, and the Han people dare to say: Those who offend my Han people, although they will be punished from afar, the Han people have the integrity of holding incense on the branches and dying, and never blowing down the north wind, but now, the heavenly kingdom is cornered by a group of barbarians, and the ridiculous enemy is still in a high position but still only cares about the tyranny to satisfy his own selfish desires.

"The corruption of the rear army has reached a shocking point, and the Hou Ye has the heart to rectify it, but he is afraid that someone in the DPRK will put a cold arrow behind his back, so he can only sit and watch Yang Xuhui do nonsense!" Yue Shenfei was quite jealous and said.

"People are doing it, the sky is watching, such a person will not end well, history and the people will judge him eventually!" Li Mingyuan comforted on the side.

"It's useless, I heard that this Yang Xuhui has been stuffing silver into various yamen in Yanjing recently, and he is probably trying to find a way to transfer out of my Tiger Ben Army, but I'm afraid it won't be long before I will be promoted or transferred to other places!" Yue Shenfei is a general after all, and he is also Xia Houyong's confidant, so a lot of news is still very well-informed.
