The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 530 Moral Corruption
On August 26, Ding Yi returned to Lushun, convened the generals to discuss matters, supported the casualties and rewarded those who made meritorious service.

But this time there were more than 1000 casualties, which can be described as the worst in history, and a lot of Ding Yi's money flowed out.

Even Ruan Wenlong felt a bit overwhelmed. Ding Yi said that he would support everyone for a lifetime. At that time, they thought Ding Yi was talking about it, but they didn't expect Ding Yi to do so.

Cocoa has fewer casualties before, and the spoils of war after each victory are enough to pay and there are more.

Although this time he also received 66 taels of silver, Ruan Wenlong calculated after the war that it was not enough to distribute.

More than 800 people were killed in this battle, and the settlement fee for each person was 50 taels (at the beginning, it was ten taels, and then it was increased repeatedly, because Ding Yi found that there were not many people killed each time. He did not expect so many deaths in this battle, and the settlement fee reached more than 4. .)
The family allowance for the wounded is 30 to [-] taels, which is nearly [-] taels.

Among those killed in battle, those who originally had family members were paid two taels of silver per month, and the amount was calculated on the basis of population per person per month per stone grain.

Fortunately, Ding Yi changed it again later, first in Xu Dabao, saying that everyone would be raised in this way until they died of old age.

Later, in Lushun to divide the fields, families with warriors, first divided five acres, and then let them choose whether to choose the fields or raise them until they die.

Those who choose the land usually pay [-]% tax. After the death, the family does not have to pay tax. In addition, Ding Yi pays five taels of silver per person every year according to the population of each household.

Those who are selected and raised until they die in old age will pay [-]% tax in normal times and after their death in battle, and [-] taels of silver per month after their death in battle.

At that time, many soldiers thought that if they died in battle, if the family had to pay taxes, what would happen if there was no one to grow the fields?After all, the soldiers in Lushun are sometimes sent home to help during the busy farming season (mainly harvesting and planting). In special cases, such as when there is no way to fight outside, the soldiers who do not fight will come to help.

So in the end, many soldiers chose the second option, which does not require Ding Yi to provide for the elderly and can be exempted from taxes.

In this way, Ding Yi's expenses are much less, at least he used to pay monthly, but now he pays once a year.

Including the wounded, the same is true. Some minor injuries require Ding Yi to arrange easy work. In this way, there are more than 700 casualties this time, and Ding Yi pays nearly [-] in cash every year.

In addition to the reward for killing and wounding the Qing soldiers, and the head reward, after the 66 silver was distributed, Ruan Wenlong said that the remaining silver could only be distributed for another seven years.

Ruan Wenlong also said that from the second year of Chongzhen to the present, the accumulated compensation for casualties over the years has now reached [-] per year.

This number will definitely increase every year, and it is not a small expense.

Some people at the scene were hesitant to speak, probably feeling that Mr. Ding paid too much pension, the Ming Dynasty would support the families of the fallen soldiers, let alone tax exemption.

Ding Yi thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Our Dongjiang Town is what it is now. In addition to the hard work of your brothers here, there are thousands of brothers fighting to the death."

"We have survived the lack of money before, not to mention that we are not short of money now, even if we are short of money, we have to squeeze it out."

Everyone was moved, and Ruan Wenlong didn't say anything anymore.

Ruan Wenlong's proposal also reminded Ding Yi that he could not bear tens of thousands of casualties. If tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in a battle, the money Ding Yi paid would be a terrible figure.

This requires him to always remind himself to fight as smartly as possible and keep casualties to a minimum.

At this time, Zhang Jing suddenly laughed and said, "Although Mr. Ding is very generous to his brothers, I can't bear to sell the houses in the school district at a lower price."

Everyone shouted loudly, saying that the housing in the school district was expensive, and began to complain.

Since the last education reform, Ding Yi has built a university and a middle school. Now everyone wants to buy a house in the school district of the university and a house in the school district of the middle school.

For example, Zhang Jing was stationed in Fuzhou, but only Lushun and Pidao had middle schools, and only Lushun had universities.

His son and daughter are still young, they can go to Fuzhou for elementary school, go to Lushun for middle school, and only go to Lushun for university.

The soldiers of Phi Island, whose children go to university, all come to Lushun to buy a house.

Although Ding Yi let the students live in the school, many mothers would follow them and wanted to buy a school district room near the school to accompany them.

After all, it is better to come to Fuzhou, but it is far away from Phi Island to Lushun.

This means that many guards have to buy several sets of houses in different school districts.

When it comes to money, Ding Yi is about to put on a serious face: "Universities and middle schools are all on-campus. Who told you to buy a school district house? It's your own wife who wants to come over to accompany the children and fry up the house near the school. Te Niang Yes, the logistics department hasn’t finished building the house yet, so you guys are all fired up, so blame me?”

Everyone smiled wryly.

Ruan Wenlong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. This house speculation is not the driving force behind you, Mr. Ding.

Otherwise, who knows that there are also school district rooms?

Zhang Jing murmured: "Lord Ding, I can't stay in Fuzhou forever, can I change it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent.

At the scene, only Zhang Jing and Ding Yi knew the first batch. If they dare to say that, others would dare to ask.

Those who are stationed in Phi Island want to be stationed in Lushun.

But the only one closest to Lushun is the South Pass and the garrison. With so many people, it is impossible for everyone to come.

Ma Yue of the First Battalion has guarded the South Pass for many years, and he is too scared to hum at this meeting. Of course, he wishes to stay here forever. It is close to home and the children go to school.

Everyone didn't have this concept before, but Ding Yi suddenly built a university, and everyone wanted to be closer to the university.

Ding Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "What Zhang Jing said makes sense, no matter what kind of elite soldiers and horses, it is always bad to stay in one place."

"Like Shang Kexi, who was the first one to be stationed in Japan back then, you didn't want to be a nun, but Shang Kexi endured the hardship first. For two whole years, he didn't see his mother-in-law or child."

Shang Kexi blushed while listening, not knowing if it was excitement or what.

"Well, in the future, no matter Japan, Jeju, Phi Island, Dayuan, or Lushun, they will be rotated." When Ding Yi said this, everyone was a little happy.

"By the way, father-in-law." Ding Yi looked at Ruan Wenlong: "Shang Kexi was the first to be stationed overseas, and suffered a lot. I heard that his Japanese wife also gave birth to a baby. Congratulations to him for our brothers in Dongjiang Town. , reward him with another 1000 taels of silver."

"Master Ding." Shang Kexi blushed even more, his expression was extremely excited, he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"In the future, those stationed overseas will be rewarded heavily."

After Ding Yi finished speaking, everyone had their own thoughts.

As for how to rotate, of course, we will study it in detail later.

After a while, Shen Shikui of the 23rd Battalion suddenly said: "Master Ding, will Wu Duogu, the general of the 23rd Battalion, be promoted this time?" with a dissatisfied face.

The atmosphere in the conference room changed, and everyone looked at Shen Shikui strangely.

Shen Shikui is Ding Yi's father-in-law, but he usually respects Ding Yi when he speaks, sometimes he will call him a good son-in-law in public, and Ding Yi will agree with a smile.

Everyone also looked at Ding Yi's face, and called him Mr. Shen, especially those from the original Dongjiang Township, they all called him that.

But it was the first time for Shen Shikui to show dissatisfaction in such a tone suddenly.

Ding Yi seemed stunned, and he looked at the training director Gao Weimin.

Gao Weimin said in a deep voice: "Wu Duogu was born in the former Dongjiang Town. When the captain was promoted to general manager last time, he never passed the cultural barrier."

"At that time, Mrs. Shen came forward, and I reported to Mr. Ding to make an accommodation and let him be promoted to general manager."

"He was trained in the training department for three months. He refused to learn big characters and failed the exam. There were 21 people in the same batch. He failed the pass. It is difficult for me to explain to my brothers."

"Our examination requirements are very low, as long as you know the military order, you can't pass this, and I definitely don't agree to the promotion." Gao Weimin kept a straight face and didn't give Shen Shikui any face.

Shen Shikui was furious immediately, and glared at him: "Wu Duogu beheaded all Qing Niuluzhangjing and killed more than a dozen Tartars, why don't you recognize a few words?"

The atmosphere in the conference room became heavier.

Many people looked at Ding Yi, and some people winked at Shen Shikui.

Now it is easier for Ding Yijun to strike the enemy in the middle of the formation than before. When Shen Shikui said the formation, everyone knew that it might be done with a blunderbuss.

Ding Yi's complexion was also ugly, but Shen Shikui was his father-in-law, so it was impossible for him to get angry in public, so he said immediately: "Everyone, don't argue, unity is the most important thing."

"Director Gao, I want to talk about you first, we are all brothers of Dongjiang Town now, there is no such thing as Dongjiang Town and Xu Dabao."

Gao Weimin hurriedly said: "Master Ding, I was wrong."

There are Dongjiang faction and Xu Dabao faction in Ding Yi's army. The officers and soldiers of Dongjiang town joined later, so whether it is literacy or formation, Xu Dabao has a sense of superiority and feels that he is better than them.

And to be honest, there are more soldiers and veterans in Dongjiang Town.

Seeing Ding Yi criticize Gao Weimin, Shen Shikui's face brightened a bit, Shang Kexi looked up at him, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

Ding Yi said again: "Some brothers are earlier than me, and some are later than me, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that everyone is united and united to the outside world."

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Wu Duogu has difficulty reading and writing, so we have to be considerate. After he is promoted to Chief Qian, he has soldiers, so he can read and write military orders for him."

Shen Shikui showed a smile on his face, while Gao Weimin was dissatisfied.

"However." Ding Yi immediately said again: "You also have to tell Wu Duogu that I will accommodate him again this time. If he fails to pass the cultural examination in the future, he will only be able to go to Qian Zong for the rest of his life and cannot be promoted again."

"Okay." Shen Shikui said happily.

Gao Weimin also had no choice but to accept.

Then Ma Yue, who was guarding the south pass, said another thing. He had a boss under him who had just given birth to a fat son this year. He asked his subordinates to have a meal with the boss and the captains. Everyone gave money.

Mr. Qian took another 50 taels and gave it to him, but Ma Yue confiscated it and gave him a scolding to return all the money he had collected.

And asked Ding Yi if he wanted to be punished.

As soon as Shang Kexi heard the name of President Qian, he knew that he knew him. This person was also an officer of their Dongjiang Town before.

In the field, Zhang Jing yelled, inferiority, moral corruption, they are all brothers, how can they accept money from brothers, what is the difference between this and the general on the opposite side.

He said that the Ming army was on the opposite side, but subconsciously, the generals of the Xu Dabao army in the conference room looked at the generals of the Dongjiang Zhenyuan army.

Ding Yi said earnestly and earnestly, people are not sages, and there is no mistake in familiarity, just criticize and educate, and everyone will remember it in the future, and don't do it again.

This fashionable and cheerful face turned even redder.

After the meeting was over, Shang Kexi thought carefully outside, and finally found Ding Yi alone, plopped down on his knees: "Master Ding, I was wrong, I shouldn't be selling minerals privately in Japan."
