On the way back, it was still an overnight stay in the wild, but Ye Xing asked everyone to go to the towns along the way to buy all kinds of food, and did not let the special training team members go hunting in the mountains and forests again.

Along the way, the nutrition and taste are excellent food, so that everyone is enjoying this return trip, but there is no lack of training.

It took 20 days to return to the barracks in Donghai City, of course, it was so slow because Ye Xing wanted to train their abilities, and these 20 days were systematic and special training, that is, to let them learn from each other and fight against each other, but also cooperate with each other, and at the same time, their personal abilities were also consolidated and improved.

Before the special training, they were still good skills, so now they are among the real masters, and the average masters are far from their opponents, because their various methods are endless, and they are by no means comparable to the ordinary so-called martial artists.

Back at the barracks outside Donghai City, Li Qifeng asked the people in the camp to prepare a grand dinner for the return of the special training personnel, and the barracks were filled with wine and food, and all the personnel had a big meal and fell to the ground drunk.

The next day, Ye Xing asked the special trainers to receive their salaries and subsidies, and then went home on vacation for 15 days.

Ye Xing and Li Qifeng discussed all day, and reached a consensus on the details of the pension plan for the dead, disabled, and retired personnel, as well as some salaries and subsidies for active soldiers, and reported them to the city lord.

The bereavement pension plan is extremely generous, completely unexpected, unimaginably good, mainly in a few articles:

1. The deceased soldier shall be crowned as a martyr, and the family shall be paid a one-time salary for 20 years as a pension, and the family shall be exempted from all taxes for 20 years, and the minor children shall enjoy food allowance until the age of 16, and the parents shall enjoy food allowance for life.

2. Disabled soldiers who are incapacitated for work are entitled to a salary for life, or a salary for 30 years at a time, and are exempt from all taxes during their lifetime.

3. Retired soldiers receive half of their hourly salary for their lifetime, or 15 years of salary at a time, and are exempt from all taxes during their lifetime.

4. Soldiers in active service are paid a monthly salary, exempt from all taxes, and minor children are entitled to food allowance until they reach the age of 16.

City Lord Li Xuantong frowned greatly when he saw it, stared at the two and said:

"Now there are 2,000 city guard troops, and this expenditure can still be supported, but in the future to expand the army, this expenditure will be a huge number, and the financial resources of Donghai County cannot support it at all. At that time, all this will become a laughing stock, and it will be discredited to the people, and it will not be able to end up being ridiculed by the people of the world. ”

Ye Xing explained, "Master, money can be solved in several ways, the so-called taking the people for the people, who our city guards are protecting, who should pay the city guards!" The merchants of Donghai County need the protection of the city guards, so naturally they have to pay taxes. ”

"And I have a lot of ways to make money, so that the income of the city guards can be fully supported, and it is much higher than the income of ordinary people, so that the city guards will have combat effectiveness, and it is the power in our hands."

"We can expand our army to fight bandits, pirates, and provide protection for caravans, which should be charged, so that we have a basic income security."

"As long as it is run properly, the City Guard is a professional team, and it can solve the problem of salary by itself, and the City Guard is not a burden but a source of income for us. And high income and high pension are the fundamental ways to attract talented people to join our city guards. ”

"The city guard army is the people's own escort force of Donghai County, the soldiers, to protect the family and the country, to protect their own homes and relatives, so that they will have faith and be more combative."

"And don't rush to expand the army now, but go all out to publicize the status of the city guards, so that the people of the whole county will envy and love the city guards as their own protectors! The City Guards are the elite! In this way, in a short time, the city guard will have a high status, and it will be easy to expand the army in the future. ”

"And next, we will make every effort to streamline the city guards, those who are capable will go up, and those who are mediocre will go down, and only 1,000 elites will be needed to make Donghai County worry-free."

Li Xuantong nodded, and the three of them discussed some more details, and it was not until the evening that the two of them left the City Lord's Mansion.

The next day, the county guard issued the "Regulations on the Guards of Donghai County", which listed the duties, establishment, treatment, and requirements of the city guards.

The "Regulations" were posted in various towns in Donghai County in the form of law, causing a great sensation.

The first clauses of the ordinance are forgotten, but the last few articles are never bereavement provisions, and it is these days that have attracted everyone's attention.

The immediate implementation of the bereavement plan gave great comfort to the families of the casualties, and more importantly, made countless people look at the city guards, hoping to become a city guard for the first time more than becoming a businessman.

In the past, it was only the unemployed or poor children who were willing to join the city guards, but now it is fundamentally different, and even the children of rich families are eager to try, and they are very hopeful.

And this trend immediately echoed throughout Tokai County, and people in every corner kept talking about this topic.

Ye Xing saw that so many people were discussing this matter, and suddenly had an idea, there was something to do immediately, so he didn't go back to Xingchen Villa at all, just stayed in the shop in the city, and just asked Ye Qingyan to send a pair of birds back to Xingchen Villa.

Let Mu Sheng and Lin Wen immediately prepare two large rooms, and then invite ten carpenters to immediately make movable type printing presses, engrave thousands of woodcut characters of different sizes, and arrange them in one room.

Ye Xing was going to immediately start a newspaper "Donghai County Daily", and decided to recruit 20 talented people in the county town once every 3 days;

Each person is responsible for a column that comprehensively introduces the various situations of Tokai County, and in addition to business information, there is also a column for the city guards, and each issue introduces a content. For each column, the author should be indicated, so that the author is famous, and there is a manuscript fee.

Ye Xing has been in the city, and in order to complete the newspaper, he also asked the master to publish all the various decrees of Donghai County in the "Donghai County Daily", and asked the master to write the masthead.

Ye Xing invited workers, who used to be stereotyping workers, Ye Xing hired movable type typesetting and printing at 10 times the salary, and hired a painter to do the layout design.

Ye Xing asked Xingchen Textile to buy 10 front-page advertisements on the front page of "Donghai County Daily", and the cost was 100 taels per issue;

In order to do this, Ye Xing lived in a shop in the city for 7 days, and basically worked day and night with Mu Sheng and Lin Wen to produce the first issue of "Donghai County Daily".

The first issue of the newspaper was printed in 1,000 copies, all of which were given to wealthy families and shops in the city.

This kind of thing is the first time in the world, the whole city is crazy, and they all rush to buy this 10 yuan newspaper a piece, but it was only noon, Ye Xing hurriedly printed 1,000 copies, and another 1,000 copies in the evening.

Early the next morning, all of them were gone, Ye Xing estimated it, and after removing all the costs, he earned 80 taels at once.

Mu Sheng and Lin Wen estimated that if there were enough advertisements, they could earn a few hundred taels a day, and their eyes lit up.

It's terrible, cute, and awesome to earn a lifetime of silver taels a day.

Ye Xingquan was handed over to Mu Sheng and Lin Wen to deal with, as for the sales of cotton cloth, it should be gradually handed over to others, anyway, the newspaper will be published every three days, and the content will be written by the invited writers, and the two of them only need to be responsible for arranging it.

"Donghai County Daily" wants to become a powerful tool in their own hands, and now many people do not realize the guiding role of the newspaper;

But Ye Xing understands, so he must succeed and occupy the core of all public opinion in Donghai County.

If you think of it, you have to do it, and if you do it, you have to do it best, this is Ye Xing's way of doing things;

He immediately hired a few writers to write a few love stories, romantic novels, as serialized content for the entertainment column, and occupied a large page in order to attract women readers, and added small advertisements in the middle of the newspaper, and made several free advertisements for several nearby shops.

Only by the third issue, the print run exploded to 10,000 copies, the store became the headquarters of the "Tokai County Daily", and all the cotton cloth was sold by others.

And Mu Sheng and Lin Wen are already so busy that they don't know what to say, but they are all happy and excited, with an income of hundreds of taels per issue, ah, it's terrible.

The two of them also believe that Ye Xing is a super genius, and he waves his hand when he makes money.

The Tokai Gun Newspaper has immediately become a must-have in the hands of all rich families and business owners, and if you can't buy it the next day, it's a bit of a shame.

Ye Xing asked Lin Wen to organize children to sell newspapers along the street, and let them earn 2 yuan per copy. In this way, sales also rose immediately, and soon exceeded 30,000 copies per issue, and the children in the city also got a small job.

Ye Xing let Mu Sheng and Lin Wen take full responsibility, and he returned to Xingchen Villa.
