Chapter 42: The Book of Reward

Now, every soldier in Dongjiang has received three taels of silver, not a military salary, called "settling-in allowance".

At the same time, the families of Dongjiang soldiers were exempt from taxes and forced labor. Although they don't even have land now, and they can't talk about paying taxes, it is good that they will be able to enjoy it in the future.

The monthly military salary is five coins of silver, the monthly grain is one stone of rice, two catties of salt, three horses are released a year, and two taels of silver are rewarded annually.

During the Wanli period, one tael of silver could buy two stones of high-quality rice; At the beginning of the apocalypse, prices rose slightly, but it was modest. One or two pieces of silver is still more than enough to buy more than one stone of rice, and it should be more if it is replaced with millet or something.

Therefore, the military salary of the Dongjiang soldiers should be around 15 or 6 taels per year. In this way, not only can you have enough to eat, but you can also feed a family of three or four. I can't talk about food and clothing, but food and clothing can be guaranteed.

This is already a standard carefully calculated by Zhu Youxiao, and it is not a few. You must know that even the salary standard of the Qi family's army is only about eighteen taels of silver per year!

As for what historical Liaodong Army's military salary was 20 taels, or even 24 taels, Zhu Youxiao could only scoff at it.

He believed that if he randomly pulled a small soldier of the Liaodong Army out and asked him how much money he got in a year, the number he got would definitely make people's jaws drop.

Half, a third? That's the most I guess is. Where did the rest go, the water passed over the wet ground, and who did not deduct the civil and military generals who handled it, and who did not put it in their pockets?

"Do you hear, this is the wedding fee saved by the saint." Feng Datie heard the soldiers next to him whispering.

"What's a big wedding? Do you marry a daughter-in-law? ”

"It's marrying the queen, it's a great deal!"

Feng Datie clenched the silver in his hand more and more, and a slightly silly smile appeared on his face. I thought in my heart that if I worked for a few years, or cut off a few heads of Jiannu, the money for marrying my daughter-in-law would be enough.

"Shhhh

Feng Datie hurriedly put away his cranky thoughts and listened carefully.

“…… For the soldiers killed in the war, the military salary will be doubled, and it will be paid to the wives and children and their families as usual for ten years; Another 30 acres of merit land, never receive......"

Coaxing, the officers and soldiers let out irrepressible surprises, looked at each other, and then overflowed with joy.

The internal officer who delivered the decree seemed to feel that it was a little disrespectful for the officers and soldiers to make a strange noise, and he rolled his eyes and glanced at it, and the sharp voice sounded again.

“…… The officers who died in the war were below 1,000 generals, posthumously awarded the third grade, and they were given ten years, and another 50 acres of meritorious land were given, and they were never collected, and one of their sons was the general ......"

“…… The generals who died in the war were more than 1,000 generals, and the general soldiers were posthumously sealed, and the money was distributed for ten years, and another 100 acres of merit land was given, and the endowment was never collected, and his son was the ...... of the thousands."

“…… All those who sacrificed their lives for the national death war will erect stone monuments, give sacrifices and burials, build shrines and worship ......"

It was basically the same as the holy decree read in Quang Ninh City, and the reward was rich, relieving the worries of the officers and soldiers.

Whoever has no wife and children, who has no parents. Asking soldiers to be loyal to the country and sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, but they also make them worry about the lives of their relatives and their parents, wives and children, which is the dereliction of duty of the imperial court and the cruelty of the emperor.

Mr. Qian knelt on one knee, hung his head slightly, and his eyes were a little moist.

He is a native of Liaoyang, originally a child of a family with no worries about food and clothing, and when the Later Jin Army captured Liaoyang, the whole family suffered except for him. Zhang Pan joined the army first as Mao Wenlong's personal soldier, followed Mao Wenlong to recover Zhenjiang, and was later promoted to the general manager.

The whole family was slaughtered, and this sea of blood feud always gnawed at Zhang Pan's heart.

When I heard the holy decree and the families of the officers and soldiers who gave grace, I couldn't help but feel emotional, and I thought of the family members who had died.

After the holy decree was announced, Zhang Panqiang held back his tears, bowed deeply, gratitude and hatred were intertwined, and turned into a cry and rushed out of his chest, "The emperor's grace is mighty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

In the distance, Luo Sigong was accompanied by Mao Wenlong and other generals, stopping to watch.

"If the saint wants to change the military system, he will start with General Mao." Luo Sigong stretched out his finger and said: "These two people are the supervisors and subordinates of General Mao, who only verify the soldiers, ask the court for food, and distribute the full amount to the officers and soldiers. ”

Mao Wenlong was not annoyed by being taken away from the financial power, but felt that it was easy to do, bowed down and said: "The saint's move is wise, the officers and soldiers have the grace of the emperor, and there is less trouble for the leading generals." ”

Now Mao Wenlong doesn't know the news of the establishment of Dongjiang Town, but he also understands that the saint attaches great importance to Dongjiang. But he knew that there was no one in the court, and how difficult it was to ask for money and food from the big men of the military department and the household department.

Now it's good, there are overseers to deal with those big masters, and he can save headaches.

What's more, the governor said that it was not good, but it was the Qin faction, and he could go up to heaven to listen. The saint knows the difficulties of Dongjiang, and it is not a matter of words to give strong support.

This is also Zhu Youxiao's view of Dongjiang Town's grass-roots creation, and the new rules and regulations can be implemented relatively smoothly. Replacing other Ming army units with deep drawbacks would have to cause a lot of trouble and obstacles.

"General Mao." Luo Sigong pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth to admonish: "The family members and private soldiers have accumulated disadvantages for the old army, and the saints think they are evil. As for my Ming general, the Holy One admires the Great Marshal Qi, and gives the "New Book of Ji Xiao" to General Mao, and General Mao should know the ardent expectations of the Holy One. ”

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed his hand in the direction of the capital and said: "In the period of the Holy Lord's period, the last general will dare not do his best. Qi Shuai uses soldiers like gods, and the strong army he has trained has won a hundred battles, and the end will definitely be effective. ”

Luo Sigong nodded, and at the invitation of Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng, he went to drink and go to the banquet.

"Only one person can send three taels of settling silver, and look at these contemptible husbands." Zhang Zongbao, who was mixed in the army, pretended to bow his head and muttered in his mouth.

Zhang Junneng wanted to echo two sentences, but the feeling of seasickness had not faded, and he wanted to vomit when he opened his mouth, so he had to hold it hard.

Zhao Huizu snorted and complained: "Look at what kind of rice they cook, a big pot is cooked in a mess, pig food?" ”

"Then don't eat it, you can reach the standard early, and you can go back early." Zhang Zongbao let out a wicked laugh and peeked at Zhao Fatzi.

Zhao Huizu rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, the master can stand it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "grunt", and Zhao Huizu's stomach protested uncontrollably.

Zhang Junneng couldn't help laughing, and before he could close his mouth, he was kicked on the buttocks, and his head was almost stuck on the ground.

Secretly gritted his teeth, Zhang Jun could support the ground with his hands, but as a little marquis, he didn't even dare to fart, he could only be ruthless in his heart, but he was really scared by those cold-faced brocade guards.

"Fear death, kill!"

"Escapees, kill!"

"Whoever disobeys the order, kill!"

"Scream rioter, kill!"

"Whoever confuses the army, kill!"

………

The stage has been replaced by a military judge with a fierce face, and one by one fierce and cold "kills" burst out of his mouth, making people feel chills and fear.
