"Brother Xiao! This time, the bond said that he had to leave me a share of a million silver coins. Ao Canghai's eyes were frozen in drink, and there was a table of empty wine bottles on the table.

"Holy shit! Your old boy has a good ability to embezzle and take bribes, and he has saved so much money. When Li Xiao heard this number, he immediately sobered up halfway.

"Fuck off! If I fish like this, how can my brothers live? Can a division still fight? ”

"And where did you get that much money?" Li Xiao was very curious, and took out a million silver coins at once, which was not a small amount.

"This money is not mine alone, and the money of Man Ye is also in it. A few years ago, you stopped the trading of our first division. The imperial court compensated some money, and we discussed it, so we handed over the money to Xie Youcai to operate.

Over the years, I've accumulated so much. Originally, this money was a subsidy for the dead and disabled brothers of the first division. ”

"Isn't there a subsidy from the imperial court? How......? Li Xiao was a little puzzled, could it be that Ai Husheng dared to swallow this money?

"You know what! There was a subsidy for the imperial court, but that was the standard set before. In the countryside, the money can be used to build two houses or make a small living. But it's not enough in the city, you know what the houses are going to look like now.

The house went up, and so did the price of other things. The little money subsidized by the imperial court is not enough! The brothers who died in battle were the pillars of the family. When a man dies, the pillars collapse. There are many martyrs, and life is really not good.

The disabled brother is even more miserable, not only can he work for the family, but he also has to have someone to take care of the family. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I would go to some veterans' homes to have a look. It was better to live than to die!

Many of the disabled brothers have committed suicide, some successfully, some unsuccessfully. The successful one is dead, and the unsuccessful one is injured. Many people have told me that it is better to die on the battlefield in the first place.

Back then, I started business just to get some money for them to subsidize their families. But you say that the army does business as if it is not like four things, and it will affect its combat effectiveness after a long time.

You have a big head, and if you say cut it, you will cut it. Over the years, Master Man and I have handed over the money to Xie Youcai to operate. A year's income is only barely enough for expenses, and there will be a deficit in some years.

The bond you issued is a good thing, the income is stable and the principal is protected. I think it's enough to buy this with money. Either way, you'll have to help me. That's not my soldier, that's yours. "Ao Ye drank a lot, and his tongue was a little hard.

Li Xiao nodded helplessly, Ao Ye's reason could not be refused. He really couldn't bear to refuse!

The pension standard was set very early, and the prices at that time were not comparable to those now. Now that life is better, Daming has earned a lot of silver through trade, and prices have also risen. The families of the dead and disabled soldiers must not be having a good time.

But this thing is something that can't be helped, and there are many disabled veterans in the army after years of war. Even if the imperial court wanted to take the money, it really couldn't afford it.

"The quota is full!" Li Xiao was helpless, the remaining share in his hand was divided up by Zheng Zhilong and them yesterday.

"You're ......!" Ao Ye's eyes widened suddenly.

"Don't be busy, I'll ask Ai Husheng to add another 1.5 million directional bonds, which is for you to be a teacher. The maturity of the bond is fifty years, and the interest rate is certainly higher than theirs. In this way, the life of the military family can also be better. ”

"Then there are 500,000 ......! I don't have that much money. Ao Ye calculated the amount and found that it was 500,000 more. It's a good thing, but the problem is ......! Ao Ye is very poor, and he simply does not have the money left over to buy so many bonds.

"You have a lot of income all year round, but you don't have 500,000?" Ao Ye's performance surprised Li Xiao.

"You know, all these years my money has been used for disabled soldiers. There are now 80,000 people in my first division, so what is my little income? ”

Li Xiao nodded, Ao Ye didn't have any major problems except drinking. On weekdays, he didn't spend much, and most of his salary and other income were used to help his poor subordinates. Otherwise, Ao Ye would not be able to respond to every call in the first division.

"These 500,000 bonds, you discuss it with Master Man, and the officers and soldiers of your first division and the first cavalry division voluntarily subscribe to it. Even if someone dies on the battlefield in the future, they can add a piece of income to the family. ”

"This is a good thing, I thank the officers and soldiers of the First Division on behalf of the commander." Ao Canghai hugged his fist, his eyes were full of joy.

"This time you go to India, or don't you take us with a division?" Ao Ye was very dissatisfied with Li Xiao's always putting the first division in Beijing as a ballast stone. The army is used to fight, and now the first division is about to become a guard of honor.

Ao Ye even felt that if this continued for another three or five years, those veterans and officers would be retired, and the first division would still be able to fight.

"The first division is the main force of the whole army, and this time I will go to India in person, of course I will take you there. But the capital also needs someone to watch, what do you think about transferring Nie Dayong back from Guangxi? ”

"Nie Dayong, this kid, is a good hand at fighting. This time it was good to fight in Guangxi, where the terrain is intricate, and being able to sweep away the Yang family, which has been entrenched in Guangxi for thousands of years, in such a short period of time is enough to show that this kid can be of great use.

In this battle in India, I have to use this kid to take the lead, and I can use this kid easily. If you want to leave someone to watch the house, I think Song Dazhong is good. As his name suggests, this kid has no problem with loyalty. His second brigade is now stationed in Jizhou, not far from the capital.

Let's go to India, and leave him to look after the house. You can rest assured, he is an old man who followed us when he was on Phi Dao, and he is trustworthy. ”

Li Xiao nodded, Song [ www.biqugexx.xyz] Dazhong is also a suitable candidate. After all, the old man who has followed him since Phi Dao has no problem with loyalty. Going to India is also a tough battle, and a tiger general like Nie Dayong is needed.

"Then Song Dazhong, give me a good look at the capital."

"Don't worry, whoever can climb to the brigade commander is not a fool." Ao Canghai took a sip of wine and looked at Li Xiao.

"Starting tomorrow, I will give you half a month to prepare. In mid-September the troops began to assemble at Tientsin, and I had requisitioned all the ships that could be requisitioned. This time, we will take the sea route all the way south, and it is estimated that it will be January next year to India. ”

"Three months on a boat?"

"It's still a ship, and if it's a five-masted ship like before, you'll have to walk for more than half a year. Nie Dayong's brigade, I will arrange for them to ship on the sea in the northwest of Guangxi, and they will first assemble on Ceylon Island for adaptation training.

Wu Sangui's equipment is also very good, this is a tough battle. ”

"Hey, hey! The first division specializes in fighting tough battles, so I am afraid that he will not be tough. Ao Ye grinned hehehe.
