Li Hu, who heard the news, rushed into the courtyard as soon as possible, opened the door and walked in with his head held high. As he walked, he was still wearing his trouser belt. A pot of tea was placed in the middle of the table, and Li Xiao, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou sat around the chairs. Li Xiu stood behind Li Xiao, and everyone glanced at Li Hu who came in.

"Get out! Dick, you go out too! Li Xiao commanded in a deep voice.

"Don't go out!" Li Hu stiffened his neck, and Li Xiu also disobeyed his eldest brother's order for the first time. The two of them stood behind Li Xiao like nails, and Li Xiu's hand always pressed the gun on his waist.

"Fight tiger brothers, but my ancestor is not a tiger now, and cats are not counted. My ancestor Dashou is a donkey! Zu Dashou stared at his brother.

"Don't say that about Da Shou, Mr. Li is also ......!" Yuan Chonghuan played a round on the side. In the end, they have experienced life and death together, and they don't want to watch Li Xiao and Zu Da Shouhuo together.

There is no way around it, there can only be one sun in the sky. Liaodong can only have one general soldier, and there are more than 30,000 Liao troops under Zu Dashou. They and Li Xiao are not subordinate to each other, and Mao Wenlong is a nominal supervisor. What he said, Zu Dashou can be used as a fart.

Now let Zu Dashou disband the team on his own, which is already a preferential treatment. After all, after the disbandment, I got a lot of money and food. And the land was divided, and I don't know how much higher than the salary of being a soldier.

"Unload the mill and kill the donkey! Isn't that how they play? In the first battle of Jinzhou, our Liao army brothers suffered more than 20,000 casualties. You took the credit, and now you don't even give my ancestor a meal. I'm not a donkey, I'm a stupid donkey who has been tricked around by you. Zu Dashou's roar shook the glass "buzzing" and "buzzing".

"That's why I gave you the most generous bereavement, and the court asked for 300,000 taels of silver. I will give you the Liao army without any mistakes, and ask for money and land for land. Except for the girls, I have divided everything I can. This is what you have paid for with your blood, and this is what you deserve. Li Xiao slowly drank a cup of tea.

"How much money? You know how many brothers are crippled, and they won't be able to farm even if the hell divides the land. You know, how many brothers died. All that was left behind were orphans and widows, and three hundred thousand taels of silver. Spread to everyone's head is less than ten taels, ten taels of silver can be eaten for a lifetime? ”

"This is the disability rating standard, according to the above rules and regulations, one by one. At which level, you can receive subsidies at the government. As long as the person is alive, every month.

As for those who die, their family members can also receive money and food every month for twenty years. There are no injuries or disabilities, and those who survive have meritorious fields. These fields are exempt from tax for five years. After five years, half of them were taxed for five years, and they were exempt from forced labor for life. Their children and grandchildren do not have to pay tuition fees to study in government-run schools. ”

Li Xiao threw over something that looked like an account book, and Zu Dashou took it. I'm looking at it very carefully, and I don't let go of every one.

Seeing that Zu Dashou was looking very carefully, Li Xiao nodded. This shows that he really cares about his brothers and not about his position as commander-in-chief.

Li Xiao's standards are very meticulous, even to the point of how much a finger is lost and how much is a toe dropped. Compared with Daming's simple and crude algorithm, I don't know how clever it is.

After taking a closer look, Zu Dashou sighed. "What are you going to do with me?"

"Yes, I thought of myself at the end. You still have 20,000 men under your command, and I will let you downsize. Give you 2,000 posts, and in the future, I will pay you your military rations and salaries. General Zu has been fighting for so many years. The brethren want to take a break and let the brethren who want to go home go home. Not everyone likes war! ”

"Thank you! From now on, my ancestor will follow you. Zu Dashou instantly changed his face, knelt down in front of Li Xiao and bowed his head.

Li Xiao was stunned, Li Xiu and Li Hu were inexplicable. Even Yuan Chonghuan on the side didn't expect Zu Dashou to come to this show.

Fooled! This goods are not here to negotiate at all, he is specifically to see how Li Xiao wants to treat the disabled and returning soldiers. He knew that with the strength of the Liao army, he couldn't defeat the thousands of people in Li Xiaoyan's family. Since I can't beat it, I simply took the best conditions, so that I can also get a little benefit.

Adhere to the principle and never suffer losses, this is Zu Dashou's creed.

Pull up Zu Dashou and let Yuan Chonghuan take him to see Sun Chengzong. The resettlement of veterans and the reinstatement of these things are now all done by Sun Chengzong and Mao Wenlong.

"Why did you suddenly change sex?" When he went out, Yuan Chonghuan asked his ancestor for his birthday a little badly. When I told myself yesterday, I still had the meaning of fighting to the death. Why did you change your face today?

"Lao Yuan, did you really not see it or did you not see it. If I really follow him, am I okay? Ao Canghai's broken mouth shouted about those generous conditions all day long. The hearts of those soldiers under my command have grass growing in their hearts.

After so many years of fighting, I want to live a stable life. Now that Li Xiao is sending money and returning the land, who the hell has such a good thing. I really want to stop it, I'm afraid that Li Xiao won't do it. My men will do it! It's not to beat Li Xiao, it's to beat me.

His mother's son can see that the most powerful guy in Li Xiao's hand is not a musket. It's silver, and the silver of the white flowers is smashed down, and it's a matter of whether the son can hold it up.

This man's eyes are black, and his heart is red. But as long as I look at the money, my eyes are red, and my heart is fucking black. While there is still room to speak, it is only serious to get the greatest benefit for yourself. Nineteen years old! He was only nineteen years old, and he knew how to have silver in one hand and a sword in the other. The obedient will give money, and the disobedient knife will fall on the head. Now it's a troubled time, and people like him can eat it.

Your old Yuan is willing to follow him, I don't take this opportunity to get on the boat, what are you waiting for. I'm a rough man, and I don't know what the truth is. I only know that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was dumbfounded, and looked at this ancestor general soldier again. I thought it was just a simple-minded Qiu Ba, but I didn't expect this heart and eyes to be like a hornet's nest. In these years, where are the people with solid eyes? How can this guy who looks naïve and naïve be so shrewd.

"You don't need to talk to others in the future. Zu Dashou brought a few personal soldiers to us, and you look like a little family in our family. As soon as Zu Dashou drank Yuan Chonghuan and went out, Li Xiao turned around and began to reprimand Li Xiu and Li Hu.

"Hey, hey! Big brother, little brother knows it's wrong. Oops......! My stomach hurts, and I'm going to kick you for a while, so I'll go to the thatched house first. Li Hu saw that Li Xiao's face was not good, so he ran away holding his stomach.

Li Xiu's face twitched unnaturally, he really couldn't pretend to be Li Hu.

"Forget it! Let's go! Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, Li Xiao was not in the mood to continue to reprimand his younger brother. In the end, it was the brother who broke the bones and tendons. They were afraid that Zu Dashou would suddenly explode and hurt him, so they insisted on staying here and not leaving.

Li Xiu also left, and only Li Xiao was left in the room sitting on a chair.

I looked through the pension standard, damn it.

Money!

Now Li Xiao understands that behind all wars is money piled up. No wonder a great man said that the justification for waging war is an excuse. There is only one reason for war, and that is money, money, more money.

The Tartars beat the Ming because the Tartars were very poor. It was a profitable thing to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not attack the Tartars. That's because the Tartars are poor, and it is not profitable to attack them.

After several years, I finally understood this. Engaging in the economy is far more important than engaging in the military. As long as you can find a way to squeeze oil out of the Tartars, you don't need to do it yourself, countless mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty will tear the Jurchens to pieces.

Money can burn people's courage and can make cowards face the most ferocious jackals. It can also turn the most vicious person into a docile sheep.

Li Xiao felt that he had an epiphany and had the capital to become a god of war. This needs to be celebrated, such as having a nice evening with Tokugawa Chihime. It is said that I haven't been close to a woman for almost a month, and once a boy becomes a man, the ** in my heart always desperately needs to be released.

When he returned to his yard, he entered the door and found that Tokugawa Chiki was already waiting for him. took the slippers diligently, and changed Li Xiao's clothes diligently. This kind of thing, she will never pretend to be a human hand.

If there is any characteristic of the Japanese people, it is estimated that they are poor and exquisite. Those who are already poor have only two clothes left, and they have to wear one at home and one outside. As soon as you get back home, the clothes you wear outside will be taken off and hung at the door.

The woman Tokugawa Chihime obviously has a slight habit of cleanliness, and as long as she comes back from outside, it seems that she has to scald it with hot water. My husband came back from outside, so he needed to be scalded as well.

It is evident that the bath bucket has a Wakoku style, filled with a large bucket of water. Tokugawa Chihime's gentle little hand peeled off the clothes on Li Xiao's body, and when she entered the bath tub, the water inside suddenly came out. Then came out of Li Xiao!

It's so fucking hot, it's already to the point of burning pig hair.

Tokugawa Chihime put her hand in and tried it, looking at Li Xiao in surprise. The helpless Li Xiao could only pick up a bucket of cold water and pour it in, this girl wanted to murder her husband. Li Xiao thought with some resentment!

Damn the Japanese people, they like to use hot water in baths. It seems that whoever is more heat-resistant will be more capable. Tokugawa Chihime believes that her man is a big hero, and the big hero naturally wants to use hot water.

Li Xiao has a deep grudge against this, what is it that the mother dares to soak in hot water. Have the ability to use boiling water!

Lie down in the warm water and enjoy the kneading of your little hands on your shoulders. I don't know why, ** The strong Li Xiao actually felt the exhaustion of his whole body coming. Leaning against the bath tub, he snored heavily.

I have to say that Sun Chengzong and Mao Wenlong are good at dealing with those small government affairs. In just three days, a team of 100 people was selected to go down to measure the land. Grain and money were distributed, and the dead and disabled soldiers were registered by category. Try to distribute the land before Qingming. Don't dare to delay the farming time, people are wrong for a while, and the land can be missed for a year.

Zu Dashou obediently reorganized his subordinates into only 2,000 people, and Li Xiao assigned all the horses of the Liao army to Zu Dashou. His men are now out-and-out cavalrymen. Out of more than 20,000 people, 2,000 people were singled out. It's definitely the best of the best, although only a tenth of the number remains. The combat power is more than one grade higher than the previous 2,000 people!

Zu Kuan touched the mane of the war horse, and his mouth had not closed all day.

I have long wanted a high-quality war horse, but I have never been able to do so. After all, war horses are too expensive, and as a family member, he doesn't have so much money to buy high-grade war horses. Unexpectedly, General Li not only left the war horses of the whole Liao army to his own ancestors, but even the captured Tartar horses were also assigned to the ancestors.

So much so that now a family like Zu Kuan has two war horses, one can be carried, and the other can charge into battle to kill the enemy. Riding two such war horses, you can march a hundred and ten miles in one night, and you can immediately enter the battle.

"Brother Kuan! Silly fun. Now that they have divided the land, they can build two grass houses to live in. In the summer, the official family heard that they would divide the bricks, but the house needed to be built by themselves. Ask some neighbors to help, and you can have a big red brick house to live in. Zu Chengxun looked at the team that was packing up his things, and the soldiers who were about to leave were very envious.

"Silly boy, people are people, we are us. Our ancestors' family, do you think it's the same as others? "The two thousand people left behind, most of them are members of the ancestral family with strong combat effectiveness. To put it bluntly, it is Zu Dashou's private army. It's just that this private army is now registered and has become a person on the surface. In the future, the quartermaster sent by Li Xiao will be given food and silver according to the roster. Uniforms and equipment are even distributed according to the head!

"Yesterday, I saw Dachengzi and they issued new equipment, a brand new cotton armor of Yishui. I heard that they had just been transferred from the military department, and each person was given a sabre. The steel mouth does not even cut a hundred and ten copper coins without curling. Zu Chengxun looked envious, and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

"What kind of steel mouth, but also cut 100 copper coins without curling. When did the military department send us such a good knife! "Zu Kuan is a little unconvinced, a good knife must have a good price. There is no knife built by the Ministry of War that does not cut corners. During the Jinzhou War, the knife in Zu Kuan's hand could be used as a saw at the end of the day.

"Really!"

"Brother Kuan, Brother Xun. Equipment, salary, etc. The two brothers were talking, and they didn't know who shouted. The people in the stable immediately rushed out, and there was a problem with the brains of the inactive money.

"Run, run, mess around, don't look like soldiers. What about officers? Where are the officers, the whole team. An officer who was obviously under Li Xiao shouted at the chaotic Liao army.

On weekdays, if you go to someone else's barracks and talk like this, you will inevitably be beaten up. But today, people are here to send money, and Zu Kuan stood up without saying a word. Shouting at the whole team!

"It's all here? Why not report? The officer glared at Zu Kuan.

"What? Report? Zu Kuan also stared, and the two of them stared at each other.

"It's how many people should be there, and how many people are actually there. No one taught you? ”

Zu Kuan shook his head blankly!

"Forget it! Those who have their names come to the front to receive the silver, and those who dare to take the lead will be beheaded on the spot. The junior officer no longer paid attention to Zu Kuan, training was not his responsibility, he was here to pay money. Send the money directly to the soldiers, this is what Li Xiao meant.

In those years, officers had the bad habit of withholding military salaries, and when the salaries were actually distributed to the soldiers, they often shrank by more than half.

"Zu Kuan!"

"Hey!" Zu Kuan rubbed his hands together and grinned and walked to the table.

"The chief asks questions, and he has to answer." The junior officer pushed Zu Kuan away and reprimanded.

"Trouble!" For the sake of people who came to send money, to give him some face, Zu Kuan didn't do it.

"Zu Kuan!"

"Here!"

"Be louder."

"Here!"
