I'm a big dick

Chapter 42
Now, every Dongjiang soldier has received three taels of silver, which is not military salary, which is called "settlement fee".

At the same time, the families of Dongjiang soldiers will be exempted from taxes and corvee.Although they don't even have land now, and they can't even talk about paying taxes, but it is a discount after all, and it would be nice to be able to enjoy it in the future.

The monthly military pay is five qian silver, the monthly ration is one stone of rice, two catties of salt, three horses are released a year, and another two taels of silver is rewarded every year.

During the Wanli period, one tael of silver could buy two shi of high-quality rice; at the beginning of the Tianqi year, prices rose slightly, but it was still moderate.One tael of silver is more than enough to buy more than one stone of rice, and it should be more if it is replaced by millet or the like.

Therefore, the military salary of Dongjiang soldiers should be around fifteen or six taels per year.In this way, not only is there enough food for oneself, but it can also feed a family of three or four.We can't talk about fine clothes and fine food, but food and clothing can be guaranteed.

This is already the standard carefully calculated by Zhu Youxiao, which is not too small.You know, even the Qi family army's military salary standard is only about 18 taels of silver per year!
As for why the military salary of the Liaodong Army in history was 20 taels, or even 24 taels, Zhu Youxiao could only sneer.

He believed that if he randomly pulled out a small soldier of the Liaodong Army and asked him how much he was paid a year, the number he got would definitely shock people's jaws.

half, one third?It is estimated that this number is at most.Where did the rest go, the ground was wet after the water had passed, and whoever the civil servants and generals handled didn't withhold it, and who didn't put it in their pockets?
"Did you hear, this is the wedding expenses saved by the Holy Majesty." Feng Datie heard the whispers of the soldiers beside him.

"What is a big marriage? Marrying a wife?"

"It's marrying a queen, it's a big deal!"

Feng Datie clenched the silver in his hands more and more, with a slightly silly smile on his face.He thought in his heart that after working for a few years, or chopping off a few slaves' heads, the money to marry a wife would be enough.

"Hush—listen, there are still good things in the edict!"

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

"...Soldiers killed in battle, the military pay is doubled, and it will be distributed to wives, children and family members as usual for ten years; another [-] acres of meritorious land will be given, and no tax will be collected..."

Coax, the officers and soldiers uncontrollably let out a voice of astonishment, looked at each other, and then overflowed with joy.

The internal officer delivering the decree seemed disrespectful when the officers and soldiers made strange noises, rolled their eyes and glanced around, and the shrill voice sounded again.

"...officials who died in battle below a thousand commanders will be awarded the third rank, their salaries will be distributed for ten years, and they will be granted another [-] acres of meritorious land. They will never be paid. One of their sons will be the commander in chief..."

"...The generals who died in battle were more than a thousand generals, and they were posthumously appointed as the general soldier. The salary was distributed for ten years, and they were given a hundred acres of meritorious land. They will never be paid, and their son will be the general chief..."

"...all those who sacrificed their lives for the country, set up stone monuments, give sacrifices and burials, build shrines and sacrifice..."

It is basically the same as the imperial decree read in Guangning City, and the rewards are generous, which relieves the worries of the officers and soldiers.

Who has no wife and children, who has no parents.To ask soldiers to be loyal to their country and sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, but still make them worry about the lives of their relatives, worry about their parents, wives and children suffering from cold and starvation, is the dereliction of duty of the court and the harshness and ruthlessness of the emperor.

Mr. Qian Zhangpan knelt on one knee, his head slightly lowered, his eyes were moist.

He was from Liaoyang, and he was originally a child of a family with no worries about food and clothing. When the Jin army captured Liaoyang, the whole family suffered disaster except him.Zhang Pan joined the army first as Mao Wenlong's personal soldier, followed Mao Wenlong to recover Zhenjiang, and was later promoted to Qianzong.

The whole family was slaughtered, and Zhang Pan's heart was always gnawed by this bloody feud.

When I heard the imperial decree mentioning the family members of the officers and soldiers of Shi En, I couldn't help feeling emotional and thinking of the family members who had died.

After the imperial decree was announced, Zhang Pan held back his tears and bowed deeply. Gratitude and hatred were intertwined, and he burst out of his chest in a cry, "The emperor's grace is mighty, long live, long live, long live!"

In the distance, Luo Sigong, accompanied by Mao Wenlong and other generals, stopped to watch.

"The Holy Majesty wanted to change the military system, so he started with General Mao." Luo Sigong pointed and said, "These two are the payroll officers, and they are also under General Mao. food and distribute it to officers and soldiers in full.”

Mao Wenlong was not annoyed by someone taking away the financial power. Instead, he felt that it was easy, and bowed and said: "The Holy Majesty's move is wise, and the officers and soldiers will benefit from Mu Huang's grace, which will save the trouble of leading the generals."

The current Mao Wenlong didn't know the news about the establishment of Dongjiang Town, but he also knew that the Holy One valued Dongjiang.But he also knew that he had no one in the court, and how difficult it was to ask for salary and food from the elders of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.

Now it's all right, he won't have a headache if he has a rate supervisor dealing with those elders.

What's more, if the supervisor is not good, he is sent by the imperial court, and he can go to heaven to listen.The Holy Majesty knows Dongjiang's difficulties, and it's not just a matter of saying a word to give him strong support.

This is also Zhu Youxiao's focus on the creation of Dongjiang Town, and the new rules and regulations can be implemented relatively smoothly.Switching to other Ming army troops with deep-rooted malpractices would bring a lot of trouble and obstacles.

"General Mao." Luo Sigong pondered for a while, and warned: "The servants and private soldiers are accumulating abuses for the old army, and the holy one thinks it is evil. As for me, the Ming general, the holy highness only respects Marshal Qi, and gave the "New Book of Ji Xiao" to General Mao, General Mao should know that the Holy Majesty is eagerly looking forward to it."

Mao Wenlong hastily cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, and said: "What the Holy Master expects, the general dares not to do his best. Qi Shuai uses his troops like a god, and the strong army he trained is invincible in every battle, and the general will learn from it."

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

"One person will get three taels of Anjia silver, look at these scumbags are happy." Zhang Zongbao, who was mixed in the army, lowered his head pretendingly, and muttered in his mouth.

Zhang Jun wanted to echo a few words, but the feeling of seasickness had not subsided, and he wanted to vomit when he opened his mouth, so he had to hold it back.

Zhao Huizu snorted and complained: "Look at what kind of rice they cook, a big pot of messy cooking, pig food?"

"Then don't eat, if you reach the standard early, you can go back early." Zhang Zongbao let out a smirk, and took a peek at Fatty Zhao.

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

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "grunt", and Zhao Huizu's stomach protested unsatisfactorily.

Zhang Junneng couldn't help laughing, and before he could close his mouth, he was kicked on the buttocks, almost hitting his head on the ground.

Gritting his teeth secretly, Zhang Jun was able to support the ground with his hands, but as a young master, he didn't even dare to fart. He could only feel ruthless in his heart, but he was really afraid of being cleaned up by those cold-faced Jin Yiwei.

"Those who are afraid of death, kill!"

"Fleeers, kill!"

"Those who resist and do not obey the order will be killed!"

"Scream rioters, kill!"

"Those who confuse the army will be killed!"

.........

The stage had been replaced by a military judge with a fierce face, and the harsh and cold "kill" came out of his mouth one after another, making people feel chills and fear in their hearts.
