In addition to this name, you are not allowed to have additional servants, nor are you allowed to eat extra famous food, nor are you allowed to pay under false pretenses, nor are you allowed to find reasons to deduct the soldiers' pay.

"The amount of food provided by each betrothed is considered to be necessary for the officer to support his family and servants."

As soon as Zhu Yihai's plan came out, Wang Zhiren went from being disapproving at first to thinking seriously about it.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Rules must be set first, and then there are standards to follow.

"There is public money in the camp, and there is a special fund allocated for special use. What do you generals think?"

Wang Mingqian is relatively young and has no scruples in speaking. He said bluntly, "In fact, the salary in the imperial court has always been too low."

This is the truth. After Lao Zhu conquered the world and took the throne, he set a very low salary standard for officials. He gave it directly to Lumi. A seventh-grade official only paid 90 shi per year. The key is what else does Lao Zhu like to do?

, such as the partial distribution of treasure notes, and the later emperor's distribution of spices to officials.

In short, very few actually got it. It is said that the salary that many officials actually got was only about 5% of the nominal salary. And when the Ming Dynasty was about to die, not only the soldiers were owed wages, but the officials were also in arrears.

So all this time, everyone has been trying to make money by themselves. If they really don't make money at all, then their daughter may starve to death just like Hai Rui.

"In Ningbo, the prefect's master's salary is 500 taels a year, and the Zhejiang governor's salary is at least 800 taels a year."

Zhu Yihai couldn't refute.

For a general military officer, five hundred taels of silver a year is indeed a bit low, but now it is impossible for him to set it too high.

Now add the famous grain of 60 soldiers, and the salary is greatly improved. If a servant earns three taels per month, the general soldier can get an additional 180 taels of grain and silver per month, which is two thousand taels a year.

Four times the basic salary.

"The soldiers are divided into three classes, and the pay is a bit high. I think that two taels of silver per month is enough for the first-class soldiers, one and a half for the second-class soldiers, and one tael for the third-class soldiers. As for the monthly rations, three dou of rice will be enough." Zhang Mingzhen

A more pertinent suggestion. "In the army, horse soldiers and literacy can be ranked as first class, fighting soldiers as second class, and garrison soldiers as third class."

Lao Zhu thought about it and agreed.

If you don't have money, it's useless to set a high salary.

"In the flag-bearer camp, there are four sentries in one battalion, four teams in one sentry, four Shi in one team, and ten soldiers in each Shi, so there are 640 regular soldiers in a battalion, plus 60 personal soldiers of the battalion officer, and five personal soldiers of the general sentry.

There are four general soldiers in the team, and there are a total of 144 personal soldiers, plus assistants, secretaries, calligraphers, etc., so the total number of one battalion is 800." Zhu Yihai thought for a while, "If we go to war, one battalion will be equipped with two more

Centenarian."

The flagbearer battalion is tentatively designated as the infantry of the Army Division, and the personal soldiers are also servants, equipped with horses.

"After dinner, we set off for Yincheng. I heard that Xie Sanbin's family was extremely wealthy, so I just asked him to borrow money to pay for his salary this time." Zhu Yihai smiled and said to everyone, "I have stolen the traitor Xie Sanbin's family, so I will give it to everyone according to the new salary system."

The first pay for the battalion officers and soldiers!"

From now on, we no longer care about the 25,000 Zhejiang soldiers or the 3,600 town mark. We must reorganize the men and horses of each battalion and use the battalion as a unit to have enough soldiers and then pay them.

As for where this salary comes from, local taxes are one of them, but the most important source must be borrowing money or ransacking homes.

To raise troops, Zhu Yihai had no choice but to resort to any means.

Anyway, Xie Sanbin, the richest man in Ningbo, is also unkind for the sake of wealth, and is even a traitor and traitor. If you don't attack him, who else will attack him?

It is not possible to attack the local tyrants to divide their land, but it is urgent to confiscate the homes of a few traitors and confiscate them to the army.

"Ming Yang, I will personally lead the flag-bearing camp, and I will recruit sixty servants and soldiers under my command."

"The final general is willing to select for His Highness."
