Chapter 736: Amazing Monthly Salary
"The eldest father said that the Meng family army can die for the court until the last person falls, but everything they do is for Daqin, for Your Majesty, and not for the Meng family.
Therefore, the Meng family can only help the generals present to make money, but they will not give money.
Because it is His Majesty's business, the Meng family will not do it, and they dare not do it.
I ask for your forgiveness."
After speaking, Meng Yi saluted to everyone, and Meng Tian also stood up and apologized to everyone.
Now Meng Tian is not on behalf of the Meng family army, but on behalf of the Meng family, and on behalf of Meng Fu to salute everyone.
Everyone also solemnly returned the salute.
Everyone knows that the Meng family army is just a large army under the command of the Meng family, just like Wang Jian led the Wang family army and the Bai family army led by Bai Qi, as long as the commander is killed, then this army will be dispersed.
The Mengjia army led by Meng Fu was formerly the Bai family army led by Bai Qi.
However, after Meng Fu took over, he helped Great Qin to conquer the city and let them write down countless credits, and these generals climbed up from the pile of dead.
Except for Wang Li and Han Xin.
Therefore, everyone's hearts are more aware of Meng Fu's feelings for the army, and they are also more aware of what can and cannot be done.
Now Meng Yi arranged for them to breed cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, which is a great gift for them.
First, they are originally on the grassland, and they can always know about the cattle, sheep and horses they raise.
Second, they really need money, in fact, their identity is very embarrassing, you say they have money, but they don't have much money.
You say you have an identity, the identity is not the highest, but it is not low, and it is also the number one person in Xianyang City.
Because of this status, the children in their family need to go to school, eat well, and use it well, all of which need money, plus the family needs a maid, which is also money.
In the past, servants sold to their families in the form of deeds of sale, and they only needed to take care of one meal and a small amount of wages.
However, now there is no deed of sale, and all servants work on a contract basis.
Not only do they need to pay for the maid's three meals a day, but they also need to give the maid several times the money.
This is also a huge change in Xianyang City, and this change has doubled the tax revenue of the state treasury, and at the same time, smiles have appeared on the faces of the people.
Therefore, the First Emperor was determined to promote this matter throughout Great Qin. As a result, many slaves and people who had been sold were freed, and it would have cost more money to rehire them.
Although the aristocracy had some opinions on this, the profits of commerce made these opinions disappear again.
Now the only regret is this group of generals, they have no way to catch up with the wave of commerce.
Meng Yi saw it, to be precise, Yingzheng saw it, so he sent Meng Yi here, the purpose was to let Meng Yi find a way to give the soldiers of the whole army a little benefit.
Meng Yi's first thought was what the grassland could produce, nothing more than cattle, sheep and horses, and then came up with what had just happened.
As for the whole army, Meng Yi has no good way at present, if he must say that there is, then he can only use military salaries and use military salaries to do business.
However, this requires the consent of half a million soldiers.
Even if you agree, it will be very difficult to divide the money in the future, and 500,000 people is too many.
So, in the end, Meng Yi planned to hand over this matter to Qin An to deal with, anyway, Qin An was about to leave the mountain.
In the end, Meng Yi asked the generals to leave with their masters and shopkeepers, and let them each get acquainted, and only when they are familiar can they cooperate better.
Han Xin also took two people away, and on the way Han Xin had already asked the names of the two people, one was called Zhang Yi, who was a shopkeeper, and the other was Wu Fan, who was a Confucian master.
It's just that the two of them are not very old, just twenty-five or sixteen years old.
After Han Xin and the others came to their tent, Fan Hao and they surrounded them.
"Han Shin, what's wrong?" Fan asked him
。
"We have an area where we can breed cattle, sheep and horses, and we have also given us some technology, especially wool, milk powder and jerky, which are the most profitable," Han said.
"We know the wool and jerky, but what is this powder?" Fan asked him.
"I'll let the villain introduce this." Zhang Yi replied.
Only then did everyone notice Zhang Yi and Wu Fan.
Cao Shen said, "Who are you?"
Han Xin explained, "Lord Meng Yi is worried that we will not have time to manage cattle, sheep and horses, so we have specially equipped a shopkeeper and a master.
The shopkeeper manages our business, and the master teaches the Xiongnu people in our region to learn Qin characters, Qin language, and the festivals of Great Qin."
"I see." Cao Shen said, "In this way, in a few years, the Xiongnu steppe will completely become Daqin's."
Han Xin bowed his head and said, "Yes, but they are not free, it should be said that the first year is free, because Lord Meng Yi has already helped us pay it, but from the second year, we need to pay them ourselves."
Fan Hao asked, "How much do you need to be paid?"
"Ten taels a month." Zhang Yi said.
"What? Ten taels?" Fan's eyes widened, "Taller than our Yulu."
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "This general, what I just said is only our basic salary, as well as our dividends, if the business of the farm is good, we still need to take one thousandth of the profit. For example, if we make 100,000 taels from my farm, then we have to give us 100,000 taels."
"So much, you can do business better than I do." Fan Hao said, "Back then, when I sold dog meat, I might not be able to earn ten taels a year, but you actually had ten taels of silver a month, why don't you grab it."
"This general only saw my ten taels of wages, why didn't he see that we were about to create at least 100,000 taels of income for the farm, at least 100,000 taels a year." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Shh~~" Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
I really didn't notice it just now, and I was only attracted by ten taels of silver a month.
Not only them, but all the generals were shocked by the monthly salary of ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver, according to the conversion of grain, you can buy two hundred stones. Their annual salary is only 1,200 stones, and their half-year's salary is equivalent to the salary of a general.
What makes those generals most angry is that the other party can still get dividends, which is simply intolerable.
But in the end, after hearing 100,000 taels of silver, everyone was stunned again.
"Can you really earn 100,000 taels of silver for the farm?" Han Xin looked at Zhang Yi and asked.
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "If the general believes in me and is willing to leave the affairs of the farm to me, I can help the general earn at least 100,000 taels of silver every year."
"With such a big tone, that's 100,000 taels of silver, not 100,000 taels of silver, you have to earn 100,000 taels a year, do you know how much silver you need to earn every month?" Fan Xu interjected.
