Chapter 120: Payday
Li Yang has occupied Qinglin for more than half a month, because of the increase in population, as of July 1, the registered population of Qinglin has reached an astonishing 24,000 people, and this is still because of the slow expansion of Qinglin, and the foreign population cannot find a place to live, so there are only so many.
Otherwise, the three major industries of fishing, forestry and animal husbandry in Qinglin would have been crowded out long ago.
It is inevitable that Qinglin's original free economy will be destroyed, otherwise even if all the fish in the reservoir are caught, it will not be able to satisfy the appetite of those greedy Shuangying Mountain merchants.
Therefore, Chen Ang's rationing system was already in place, and the rationing system was implemented for grain, fish, pork, beef, salt, oil, and other materials in the hands of the government.
Some things can be bought with money, and some things even need to be bought with a ticket and money.
Meat purchase vouchers, commonly known as meat stamps, came into being.
The army has been divided into barracks and venues according to the battalion heads, and after the exercise this morning, there will be a holiday in the afternoon, but no one dares to go, and after half a month of training, this group of soldiers are waiting for today.
The day of the leader's salary.
The Nirvana Regiment now implements a semi-monthly settlement of government personnel salaries and military salaries for the army, after all, the current situation is not so tense, and the workload is too great for weekly settlements.
But a month is too long, so after repeated research, it was decided to end in half a month.
The soldiers sat in groups of three or five in the shade of the trees basking in the sun, waiting for the people from the logistics office who said yes, come at one o'clock in the afternoon.
"I've heard that our military salary should be given in currency, not actual food?"
"Just a few pieces of paper will send us away, can't you."
"When recruiting soldiers, I said well, there are thirty catties of grain and meat every week, this just arrived here and said that it will be issued once in half a month, and now it is said to give pieces of paper, this Nirvana regiment is not so tricky."
"That's it, we're training hard these days, I'm calloused from the gun in my hand, I can't do this to us." A twenty-six-seventeen-year-old man had just finished complaining when a man in a military hat walked by, slapped the back of the man's head unceremoniously, and said, "What are you talking about!" Sue sΓΉ The accounts of your Nirvana regiment have always been the clearest, the regiment commander will never treat his own people badly, although you are now a recruit, you are not your own people, but since you have reached the standard in training, don't think about those who have and don't, send food! You can also carry it, the recruits also have more than 30 catties of food a week, and more than 70 catties of food every half a month, and you carry them home? I'm not tired of you. β
After speaking, he sighed and said, "The little kid is a recruit." β
"Who's this platoon leader?" A group of people looked at the big platoon commander in the distance and said.
The company commander who was closing his eyes on the side said: "His name is Nie Meng, and we all call him Nie Lao Liu, who used to be a rookie like you." β
Everyone looked at the company commander in admiration.
This is a low-key person!
Soon, a soldier ran into the North North camp with his teeth and claws, shouting, "It's coming!" Here it comes! The people from the logistics department are here! β
All the soldiers got up at once, and they saw four carriages, slowly and leisurely filled with people and goods, and walked into the Beida camp, and the company and platoon commanders of each unit looked at the recruits who were about to move, and they all began to reorganize.
"Whoever the doesn't want military salaries, rush up to me, before the people in the logistics department don't call people, whoever dares to go up, he doesn't have to receive it today!"
Only then did the soldiers suppress their excitement and watch the people in the logistics department unload the truck and set up a platform.
The first thing to come out was a big blackboard, and the person from the logistics department said: "Each platoon sends individuals to come and read the information on it, and pass it on to everyone, we won't explain it one by one, it's a waste of time, you also want to get the money early, don't you?" β
"Xiao Zheng, you go and take a look, and then come back and talk about it."
Each platoon commander randomly ordered a well-spoken boy to look at the list.
Forty or fifty people passed, and after a while they all returned.
"I see it, it says, from now on, Qinglin will issue currency, which is minted in gold and silver, five yuan and one are gold coins, and a dime of silver coins, and the grain is five cents a catty, we can take the money to exchange for huΓ n, because of the shortage of meat, we must add money according to the meat ticket to exchange huΓ n, it is not possible to simply have money, and there is that some scarce materials can not be exchanged in the public exchange, you can go to the logistics store to buy it with a soldier's card, which probably means this."
The soldiers talked for a while, and after the four platforms were set up, they began to call people according to the platoon.
"Soldier number 01792, Zheng hat, receive the recruit salary, the enlistment date is correct with the leader salary date, right?" Every time a military salary is paid, the material section and the personnel section of the logistics department come together.
"Yes, that's right." The recruit, who was in his early twenties, looked at his column and nodded.
"The salary of the recruits is half the salary of the regular soldiers, half a month, a total of seventy-two yuan."
While counting the money from the pocket full of coins next to him, the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said: "Look for yourself, this is the price list of material conversion, there is no typewriter, there is no way to make a salary slip, read it clearly, don't have something you don't understand afterwards." β
"Recruits, every week, fifteen kilograms of grain, five catties of meat, half a catty of salt, and one hundred grams of oil, a total of thirty-one dollars, well, that's right."
"Then take it." A handful of gold coins were put into a small pocket in front of the soldier, and five meat stamps with a pound written on them were handed to the recruit.
"Next!"
The soldier walked to the side, took out the gold coin, and looked at the big gold coin with five yuan printed on the front and Li Yang's side face printed on the back, feeling heavy and reassuring.
"It's pure gold, isn't it?"
"You stupid, didn't it be written in this notice, the pure gold texture is too soft, and a little copper is added to it to increase the hardness."
Someone on the side immediately rushed to say.
"Those who receive the money can leave, have a day off tomorrow, and return to the barracks before the morning exercise the day after tomorrow!"
"I'll wait for Zhao Yi later." Zheng Mao said with a smile.
"I forgot that both of you are from Qinglin."
"Soldier number 01672, Zhao Yi, demobilized soldier, receive soldier salary, look at the date of enlistment and the date of the leader's salary."
"It's a total of one hundred and forty-four yuan in half a month, check it yourself, and sign it."
After speaking, the clerk in charge said with a smile: "Enlisting in the army is a soldier's salary, and the future is immeasurable." β
"I promise you." Zhao Yi signed, saw Zheng Mao waiting on the side, and said, "Let's go, wait for the rice to be cooked at home." β
"Yes, we haven't been home in the army for half a month, and our food is full of sweetness, and we can't tell what it's like at home."
Zheng Mao looked at Zhao Yi's military salary twice as much as his own, clenched his fists, and said, "I will definitely try to catch up with you." β
Zhao Yi's eyes lit up and said: "What kind of pursuit is it to catch up with me, don't you see, there are three columns according to military rank, position, and military class, I just glanced at it roughly, the elite salary is twice as much as mine, and the battalion commander's salary is ten times that of mine." β
"Ten times!" Zheng Mao's eyes lit up!
How to spend it!
