Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2837: 10 times the military salary paid to soldiers

Liu Yu frowned slightly and looked at Zhuge Changmin: "Changmin, can't you make the soldiers believe that this treasure is an illusion? Do you have to rely on looting and looting to make them fight? Desire and fighting spirit?"

Zhuge Changmin sighed: "Brother Jinu, I said earlier that the current Beifu army is different from when we were in the army. Liu Zhenbei has been in charge of the army for many years and has long established this unwritten rule. , Those stragglers who he recruited in the army back then are now mostly mid-level officers such as team leaders and bosses, and they are the ones who have the most contact with the soldiers. They brag to the soldiers all day about how they were fighting and winning. Can the soldiers not envy those who make a fortune and marry a wife and have children?

Xiang Mi nodded: "Yes, Brother Jinu, the middle and lower-class Beijing eight brothers, don't talk about expelling the Hulu and restoring the ideals of the Central Plains like we do all day, only thinking about how to get benefits in the war. Everyone is going to go deep into Qianghu territory alone this time. They are prepared to die, and they also want to get more rewards. Only relying on the kind of rewards from the court may be unreasonable for the soldiers."

Tan Shao also said sternly: "Yes, according to the current power system, even if the swallows are exterminated, most soldiers will have to be disarmed and returned to the fields. What they get is nothing more than half a year's military salary, plus a one-time subsidy, which is less than three For 400 dollars, it’s difficult to buy a two-acre land, and you can’t even buy a cow. Then there is a one-year tax exemption for the whole family and three-year exemption. To be honest, even being a Kuding is almost the same return, but this I came to Qingzhou to fight with the Murong family's iron cavalry. If you only give this point, let alone the army's dissatisfaction this time, I am afraid that when you think about the Northern Expedition next time, no one will be willing to apply."

Liu Yu nodded: "I understand, but why do you think that the reward given by the imperial court this time will be the kind of ordinary military reward? Don't you think I don't know the difficulty of the northern expedition to destroy the swallows, and The difficulty of standing guard and patrolling the city is far different?"

   Zhu Lingshi's eyes flashed with excitement: "I knew that the commander would definitely consider this issue. Then please ask the commander to make it clear so that we can go back to appease the soldiers and soldiers."

Liu Yu nodded and said sternly: "This Northern Expedition is facing an unprecedented powerful enemy. It is also to achieve an unprecedented feat since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. This requires the lives of the three armies and the unity of soldiers. Of course I know. Everyone joins the army not just to serve the country or to kill Hu. It is an ideal, a slogan, you can’t eat it as a meal. What you really want to come out is a real reward. The emperor doesn’t want to hungry soldiers. I, Liu Yu, will never It will make the soldiers dissatisfied."

"This time, the extermination of the swallows is a battle of revenge and an eradication of the country. The rewards will be much higher than the ordinary enlistment. Don’t worry about the military pay. This time, our military pay is higher than the normal Beifu Army. On the basis of three times the salary of other troops, it will be increased by ten times. It starts from the day when the troops arrive, and ends when they return to the division and disband."

   Hearing Liu Yu's words, many people started counting with their fingers. After all, these big bosses didn't know a few ligatures. It was a bit difficult for them to learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly.

   Wang Zhen's eyes widened: "What? Three times more than ten times? The salary in the ordinary army is 20 yuan a month. So, this time, it can be 200 yuan a month?"

   Xiangmi stopped counting his fingers, and sucked in a cold breath: "I'll drop a good long lidong for two hundred dollars a month? With so much, wouldn't it be possible to buy an acre of land."

Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Suppress evil, you are wrong. I am not talking about ten times the salary of the Beifu Army’s sixty dollars a month. That is to say. , If this battle lasts for half a year, then each brother can get 600 bucks per month, a total of 3,600 bucks. And as long as more than one month, it will make up for this month without discount. Six months plus one day, It is counted as seven months."

All the tents were blown up. All the generals were happy. Many people said excitedly: "Oh my God, six hundred dollars a month, this, this is something I can't even dream of. You have made a fortune."

   "Brother Jinu, why didn't you announce such good news earlier? Everyone thought that they could only get a few dozen dollars a month, so that they thought about the treasures."

But the smile on Zhuge Changmin's face slowly solidified, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, saying, "That's not right, Brother Ji Nu, if you count as four thousand dollars per sergeant, then our entire army is 60,000 soldiers. , You will be rewarded two hundred and forty million yuan at once (a hundred million in the Jin Dynasty often refers to one hundred thousand, here is two and forty million to express), this is a huge sum of money. Now a year’s tax in the Jin Dynasty The income is only 6 million people, and each mouthful of five stone meters, which adds up to 30 million stones a year, is calculated as one stone and one hundred dollars. This is almost one percent of the country’s annual tax. Give it a sexual reward to the soldiers, I am afraid that the senior officials of the family in the DPRK will not agree to it alive.

The smiles on everyone’s faces gradually dissipated. Excited, some people finally began to calmly think about where the money came from. Xiang Mi yelled, “Grandma’s, I’m desperately desperate. , UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which **** dare to oppose and kill him like Wang Yu, and see who dares to have an opinion!"

Zhu Lingshi shook his head: "Tie Niu, don't be messy. Now the main source of the country's taxes is to rely on the manors managed by these aristocratic families. If you provoke them, there will be a negative confrontation. The rations for the Northern Expedition are no longer available, and our life will only be worse. Besides, this reward is something other than the normal taxes and should not be borne by the family and the people. Marshal, this money has to be paid out of the treasury, but Is there so much money in the treasury?"

Liu Yu calmly said: "The wealth of these countries is not something you brothers should know about. The people who lead the army just fight the war, but this time the situation is special. I still need everyone to tell the soldiers and soldiers. Therefore, I You have to hand over the bottom to everyone. This reward money will not go to the treasury, or most of it will not go to the treasury. Instead, the family should go out of their own ranks."

  As soon as this remark came out, there was another round of discussions, and many people said discouragedly: "That's over, it turns out that the commander just made us happy, he couldn't do it at all."

   "That is, those high-ranking families are not even reluctant to send troops to fight this time, let alone reward them after the fight, marshal, you can never let us bring soldiers to the door to grab money."

   Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Of course this money can't be robbed, but it can be let them out willingly. Isn't the land in Jiangbei, this land in Qingzhou worthy of their acquisition?"
