Chapter 197: Soldiers' Salaries

"Oh!"

As soon as he came, there was such a big deal, which Zhang Tie didn't expect, in his mind, such a small county, it was enough to sell three or four hundred catties, but he didn't expect to be able to sell nine hundred catties.

More than 900 catties of refined salt, that is 1,800 taels of silver, enough to pay the soldiers a month's wages.

Speaking of soldiers' salaries, I have to say here that this month can be described as extremely expensive.

After all, it is only paid once every three months, but the system salary of soldiers is paid once a month.

Although the salaries of the soldiers stationed there will be reduced by half, the salaries of more than a thousand soldiers, even if they are reduced by half, are not a small amount.

At present, Zhang Tie has a total of three types of troops, one is the Great Song Dynasty soldiers, one is the female soldiers, and the last one is the Jianghu soldiers.

Among them, the salaries of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and the female soldiers are the same, from the first level to the fifth level of the troops, and now the salaries that need to be paid a month are 20, 40, 80, 160, and 400 system coins respectively.

In addition to the different salaries of the five levels of soldiers, the salaries of other soldiers of different ranks are basically only doubled.

Compared with these two arms, the wages of the Jianghu arms are much higher, twice that of the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, the basic attributes and equipment are much better, and the salary is higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty, which is also a normal thing.

Among the more than 1,000 soldiers, there are more than 100 Jianghu disciples, of which there are 60 true disciples (level 4) and 40 inner disciples (level 3).

Of the remaining 1,200 soldiers, there were 600 recruits (1st class), 455 regular soldiers (2nd class), 25 archers (2nd class), 25 strong archers (3rd class), and 95 sword and shield soldiers (3rd class).

After the salary is calculated, 47,000 system coins are needed a month, which is still the case when the salary of the garrison soldiers is halved, if it is not halved, I am afraid it will be as much as 30,000.

With Zhang Tie's current economic situation, if he only relies on the existing system currency, he can only pay for half a year at most, and if he adds the income of the grocery store, he can barely pay a year's salary.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tie came back to continue to run the business, whether it is silver or system currency, it is something in short supply.

As for the runner, not only can you get silver taels, but also experience and system coins to get, although the reward of the runner task is not very high now, but it is still good.

Moreover, there will definitely be emergencies on the way to the escort, and these emergencies will turn into tasks.

After a slight smile, Zhang Tie asked the two salt merchants, "I don't know when the two of you will trade?" Is it cash or silver? ”

The two salt merchants said without thinking: "Trade now, with the silver ticket of Yan Kingdom." ”

Zhang Tie raised his eyebrows hidden under the mask, but he just said casually to trade with a silver ticket, but he really didn't expect that the other party really had a silver ticket from Yan Kingdom.

It seems that Yan Guo is very popular with other countries on the silver ticket, not only the Zhao State of the enemy country, but also South Korea.

"Okay, Hon Hai, you go and ask someone to bring 900 catties of refined salt over."

Zhang Tie first instructed his own relatives to pick up the goods with Hon Hai, and then turned back to the three merchants and said: "Everyone wait patiently, the refined salt will be delivered soon, I don't know if you want to buy other goods, other things are also good." ”

Zhang Tie's sentence was mainly said to the only grocery store merchant among the three merchants.

From the very beginning, the grocery merchant had been quietly watching the movements of the two salt merchants, and did not come forward to check the contents of the small box, presumably to wait for the salt merchants to talk and then check it.

Hearing Zhang Tie say this, the three merchants all looked at the other small boxes, the merchant from the grocery store took the lead to one small box, and the other two salt merchants also walked to the other small box and looked at the goods inside.

The moment he saw the air-dried meat, the owner of the grocery store was stunned, obviously he didn't expect that there was still meat.

"Eat it as is."

The Wudang disciple with the small box glanced at the grocery store merchant and reminded him.

The words of the Wudang disciple made the grocery store merchant directly tear off a piece of air-dried meat and put it in his mouth, and the numb and spicy taste filled the merchant's taste buds.

On the other side, two salt merchants watched as they grabbed the wine jar and poured themselves a glass of wine.

The two of them first smelled the wine, and both nodded with satisfaction, the pure wine with a little grape fragrance, just from the wine aroma can be seen, this wine is extraordinary.

And in fact, it is exactly like this, when the two of them drank it, their eyes lit up, and they directly began to drink, and the two of them directly drank a bottle of wine.

After the three merchants tasted all the food, after asking the price, they directly chose to trade with Zhang Tie, and the amount was quite a lot.

Among them, the air-dried meat was sold at a price of 100 copper coins a catty, and a total of 300 catties were sold.

A bottle of wine was sold for a tael of silver, and three hundred bottles were sold, and the two of them were added up to a total of three hundred and thirty taels of silver.

After the acceptance of the two parties, the transaction was officially completed.

When the transaction was completed on Zhang Tie's side, Deng Wei's side had almost completed the transaction, and both parties were smiling, and it seemed that the development was going very smoothly.

Compared with Zhang Tie's groceries, medicinal materials are much more expensive than refined salt and wine, and this time, Deng Wei's income is afraid that he has an income of several thousand taels of silver.

When the two sides separated, the three merchants who traded with Zhang Tie all hugged Zhang Tie.

"Brother Zhang must remember to inform us next time he comes!"

"Yes, definitely."

Zhang Tie nodded, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

After this transaction and conversation between the two sides, the trade route in Hongyang County can be regarded as clear, and in the future, refined salt and other things can be directly sent to pull and transport them for trading at that time, and there is no need for Zhang Tie to deal with it personally.

After the entire caravan completed the transaction, Zhang Tie ordered people to send some products to the county commander of Hongyang County, and after buying some supplementary mail for the convoy, he began to continue on the road, preparing to go to the next stop for trade.

The good beginning made Zhang Tie and Deng Wei very happy, and they couldn't help but look forward to the next trip, and they felt that the next trip should also be smooth.

But Zhang Tie and Deng Wei never expected that when they set off, a conspiracy against them was also being planned in Hongyang County.

With such a large trading volume, it is natural that some people will have evil thoughts and want to get something for nothing.
