Chapter 42: The Book of Rewards

Now, every soldier in Dongjiang has received three taels of silver, which is not military pay, but is called "Family Expiration".

At the same time, the families of soldiers in Dongjiang will be exempted from taxes and corvee. Although they don’t even have land now and there is no question of paying taxes, it is a discount and it is good to enjoy it in the future.

The monthly military salary is five cents of silver, one stone of rice per month, two kilograms of salt, three pieces a year, and two taels of silver are rewarded annually.

During the Wanli period, one tael of silver could buy high-quality rice and two stones; in the early years of the Apocalypse, prices rose slightly, but they were still mild. It was more than enough to buy one tael of silver to buy more than one stone. If you change it to millet or something, it should be more.

Therefore, the military pay of the Dongjiang soldiers should be around 15 or 6 taels a year. This not only allows you to eat, but also supports a family of three or four. There is no question of being rich and well-behaved, but food and clothing can be guaranteed.

This is already a standard carefully calculated by Zhu Youxiao, and it is not small. You know, even the military pay standard of the Qi family army is only about 18 taels of silver per year!

As for the historical salary of the Liaodong Army was twenty taels, or even twenty-four taels, Zhu Youxiao could only sneer at it.

He believed that he would just grab a soldier from the Liaodong Army and ask him how much money he got in a year. The number he got would definitely make people shocked.

Half, one third? It is probably the most. Where did the rest go? The water is over and the ground is wet. Who will not deduct the civil servants and generals in charge? Who will not put them in their pockets?

"Did you hear that? This is the wedding cost saved by the Lord." Feng Datie heard the soldiers next to him whispering.

"What is a big marriage? Are you marrying a wife?"

"It's a great thing to marry the queen!"

Feng Datie tightened the silver in his hand, and a silly smile appeared on his face. He thought about how many years he would work, or cut off a few Jiannu's heads, and the money for marrying a wife would be enough.

"Shhh-Listen, there are still good things in the imperial edict!"

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

"... The soldiers died in the battle, and the military pay was doubled. They were distributed to their wives, children and families as usual, and were distributed for ten years. They were given 30 acres of merit, and they would never receive taxes..."

The officers and soldiers were irresistible and surprised, looking at each other, and then they were filled with joy.

The internal officials who were delivering the order seemed to feel that the officers and soldiers made a strange sound, rolled their eyes and glanced at them, and a sharp voice sounded again.

"... The officers killed in battle were less than 1,000 generals, and were posthumously awarded three levels, paid ten years of salary, and were granted another 50 acres of merit. They would never collect taxes, and they would be the generals of their son..."

"......The generals and officers of the Thousand Generals were killed in battle, and they were posthumously appointed as generals. The salary was paid for ten years. They were granted a hundred acres of merit and land. They would never collect taxes. The son was given to him as the Thousand Generals..."

"...All those who died for the country will be erected stones and monuments, given sacrifices and funerals, built temples and worship..."

The imperial edict read out in Guangning City is basically the same as the rewards are generous and relieve the worries behind the officers and soldiers.

Whoever has no wife and children, who has no parents? It is the court's dereliction of duty and the emperor's ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the emperor.

Mr. Qian Zhangpan knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were a little wet.

He was from Liaoyang and was originally a child of aristocratic family who had no worries about food and clothing. When the Later Jin army captured Liaoyang, all the family was in trouble except him. Zhang Pan first served as Mao Wenlong's personal army, and followed Mao Wenlong to recover Zhenjiang, and later promoted to Qianzong.

The whole family was slaughtered, and such deep blood hatred always gnawed Zhang Pan's heart.

When I heard the imperial edict and the family members of the officers and soldiers, I couldn't help but feel moved and thought of my dead family.

After the imperial edict was announced, Zhang Pan held back his tears and bowed deeply. Gratitude and hatred were intertwined, turning into a shout and rushing out of his chest, "Long live the emperor's grace, long live, long live, long live!"

In the distance, Luo Sigong was accompanied by Mao Wenlong and others, and stopped to watch.

"The emperor wanted to change the military system, so he started with General Mao." Luo Sigong pointed and said, "These two are the supervisors and subordinates of General Mao. They only verify the soldiers, ask for the court for the salary and food, and distribute them to the officers and soldiers in full."

Mao Wenlong was not angry because he was taken away from his financial power. Instead, he felt that it was easy to deal with. He bowed and said, "The emperor's actions are wise, and the officers and soldiers are given the grace of Emperor Mu, which will reduce the trouble of leading soldiers and generals."

Mao Wenlong doesn't know the news that he would set up Dongjiang Town, but he also understands that the emperor values ​​Dongjiang. But he also knows that there is no one in the court, so it is difficult for him to ask for wages and food from the masters of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.

Now that he has the salary supervisor to deal with those masters, he will also save him from headaches.

What's more, the supervisor of the salary was not good, but the imperial sect was able to reach the heavens' listening. The emperor knew the difficulties of Dongjiang, and it was not a matter of one sentence to give strong support.

This is also the fact that Zhu Youxiao is looking at the creation of Dongjiang Town, and the new rules and regulations can be implemented relatively smoothly. If it were other Ming troops with deep problems, there would be a lot of trouble and obstacles.

"General Mao." Luo Sigong pondered for a moment and warned: "Sisters, private soldiers have accumulated bad habits in the old army, and the emperor thought it was evil. As for our Ming general, the emperor respected the general Qi and gave General Mao a new book to General Mao. General Mao should know the emperor's eager expectations."

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed to the direction of the capital and said, "As the emperor wishes, the last general dares not do his best. The commander of Qi uses troops like a god. The strong army he trains and wins every battle. The last general will definitely learn to be effective."

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

"One person only gives away three or three taels of silver for the family, look at these vulgar husbands." Zhang Zongbao, who was mixed in the army, lowered his head in a pretentious manner and muttered.

Zhang Jun could agree with a few words, but the feeling of seasickness had not faded, so he wanted to vomit when he opened his mouth, so he had to hold it in with all his strength.

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

"Then don't eat it. You can go back early." Zhang Zongbao smirked and glanced at Fatty Zhao.

Zhao Huizu rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't eat, don't eat. I can hold on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Huizu's stomach protested unscrupulously.

Zhang Junneng couldn't help laughing. Before he closed his mouth, he was kicked on his butt and almost inserted his head to the ground.

He gritted his teeth secretly. Zhang Jun could support the ground with his hands, but as a little marquis, he didn't even dare to let go of his fart. He could only be ruthless, but he was really scared by those cold-faced Jinyiwei.

"If you are afraid of death and do not have the former, kill!"

"Escaper at the time of battle, kill!"

"Those who resist the orders will not follow, kill them!"

"Through the rioters, kill!"

"Those who confuse the morale of the army will kill!"

………

The military judges on the stage had been replaced by fierce and fierce "kills" burst out from his mouth, making people feel chilled and afraid.
