Chapter Seventy-Three: Reform (II)
As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at the chieftains with different expressions, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and then changed his words: "However, I will select a quarter of the strong men from your tribe to serve me as a standing army throughout the year." ”
"My lord, that's not right, it's only twelve months a year, so it should be one-sixth to be fair."
"yes, isn't that equivalent to breaking the original contract?"
"That's it! I don't think it's ......."
"Don't worry! Listen to me!! Li Xin slammed the table and shouted dissatisfiedly.
He really couldn't stand these scheming guys, and before he finished speaking, he interjected in a mess below, which was simply disrespectful.
Seeing that the leader was furious, the younger brothers below quickly stopped whispering, and they all stared at Li Xin to see what explanation he had.
"I know what you think in your hearts!" Li Xin frowned, glared at a few of the most cheerful guys majestically, and then said slowly: "Although the number of people who need you to provide is a little more, but these standing troops selected by me do not need you to provide equipment, nor do you need to supply grain and grass, they only need to send people to me, and you don't need to be responsible for the rest." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at the people below before adding: "Moreover, even if there is any battle damage, you only need to make up for it once a year." As for the families of the war dead, if you wish, you can send them over to me for support. In the same way, those who have been disabled by their injuries, if you feel that you cannot afford them, can send me to provide for them. All in all, you just need to go out and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
After speaking, Li Xin spread his hands and confidently asked everyone in a loud voice, "How is it?" This condition is much more generous than the original, right? ”
It turned out that it was out of pocket to help the boss work for free, no matter how much effort you don't get, it's definitely a loss, although it doesn't matter how many dead and remnants you have, you can still give birth anyway, and you can always make up for it slowly after a few years.
But the key is the loss of equipment, which can not be made up for by the belly, after all, there is not much iron production on the grassland, so you can only go out to grab or buy, but these two are not easy jobs, so naturally everyone wants to preserve their strength, and no one is willing to lose their vitality for the boss.
And Li Xin's plan, although it requires a few more people in each tribe, but the rest can be ignored, which greatly reduces the burden of each tribe, except for the dozen or so people who come to serve all year round, the rest can give birth to children at home every day, and the large amount of military food saved can feed more children who could not be supported before, between this in and out, the population may not decrease but increase, the chiefs naturally agree with both hands and feet!
"This reform is really good! I absolutely agree! "The chief of the Shuangyue tribe who was the first to jump out and sing the opposite tune just now, and the first to jump out with his hands in favor without shame, turned his face faster than turning a book.
"This kind of benevolent and generous reform, no one will oppose it, I don't think there is any need to discuss, we will do it in the future!" The chief of the Qiyu tribe seemed to be afraid that Li Xin would regret it, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to say it to death.
"yes, yes, it's not negotiable, we all agree."
"My lord, please hurry up and give us the contract to put your fingerprints, we ......"
"Don't worry, don't worry, this contract is still half unfinished!" Li Xin slapped the table a few times, interrupting the eager petition of the chiefs, and then continued to explain the second half of the contract: "After you provided me with a standing army, you theoretically have no obligation to serve me in the military. But if I call you up to fight for me in my time of need, I hope you will respond to my call and rally under my banner on time. ”
Saying that, Li Xin deliberately paused here, wanting to see if there were any second-class goods that would jump out again to oppose it.
But it's a pity!
People with holes in their brains can't get into the position of tribal chief, and after being the leader twice, everyone can see that this newcomer lord is obviously prepared, so no one acts rashly, they just sit there patiently, waiting for Li Xin's quid pro quo.
After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that no one was stupidly standing up to object, Li Xincai smiled with satisfaction, and said unhurriedly: "Of course, since it is a conscription outside of obligation, you definitely don't need to bring your own food and grass, and I am responsible for making up for the loss of equipment." And, if there's any loot, I'll take half of it and give it all to you according to the amount of merit. ”
In fact, this model of partnering to go out and rob is similar to the working model of the black * society * on the earth, the boss pays for the gun and comes up with ideas, and the younger brother only needs to be responsible for his life.
And Li Xin's way of dividends is definitely much more generous than the reward method of the boss of the black * society, after all, the boss lives in a villa to play stars, and Ma Zai rents a house to find a sister, which is a common phenomenon on the earth, more than 90% of the money that everyone earns desperately goes into the boss's pocket, which boss is willing to use half of his income to support his younger brother? It's very generous to have a CD or two, so-
"What's wrong with that?! As long as your lordship gives an order, our Shuangyue tribe will definitely go to the soup and fire! As soon as he heard that there was such a good pattern for sharing the spoils, the shrewd chief immediately stood up and raised his hand to sign up.
"As long as you can do what you say, our Prayer Rain Tribe promises that we will always respond to your call!" In the face of this overly generous offer, Chief Courage seemed a little skeptical, and he actually had reservations when he spoke.
"Haha, if that's the case, I'd like you to come and recruit us every day, so we don't know how much food we can save."
"That's what it's called reform! It's so different and generous! ”
"Yes, yes! I think ...... from now on."
…………
Seeing the rave reviews for his plan below, Li Xin decided to take advantage of the hot iron, and immediately summoned Chenfeng and asked him to take the contract full of traditional Chinese characters and send it to those chiefs to press their handprints.
As for why the contract uses Chinese characters?
Because these tribes only have language and no writing, they usually use the traditional script of the southern Song Kingdom to borrow sounds, just like Hello in Japanese, in Chinese can only be written as 'detain you a few babies'.
So Li Xin sometimes thinks about whether he should simply popularize simplified Chinese and Mandarin here, and it can be regarded as contributing to the cultural dissemination of the motherland!
Half an hour later, the contract was back in Li Xin's hand, he swept it slightly, then laughed with satisfaction, and then stood up unhurriedly and slapped it vigorously.
"That's it! That's all for today's meeting, and it's not early," Li Xin shook the parchment paper in his hand full ......of bloody handprints, waved his hand happily, and announced loudly: "So now let's eat!" ”
