Chapter 37: Different Voices
The whole room was half stunned, and after a long time, Geng Bingyi trembled his lips and said, "Lord Qianhu, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Nonsense, don't you know what this official said?" Yang Feng rolled his eyes: "This official is setting a salary for you, are you dissatisfied with anything?" ”
"Satisfied...... The bastard is not satisfied. ”
All the officers in the house are going to be stupid, according to the standard set by Yang Feng, an ordinary sergeant has one tael of silver per month, and three liters of grain (40 catties), so that a military household can feed a family of three or four every month. This kind of treatment is nothing more than the most elite battalion soldiers in the Ming Dynasty today, and Yang Feng also said that everyone's weapons and armor are all covered by thousands of households, which is raising military households, this is simply raising ancestors!
"Sir, are you serious?"
At this time, Cao Yingmao, who had just been cleaned up by Yang Feng, also struggled to get up from the ground and asked loudly.
"Nonsense, what's the benefit of this official deceiving you, a poor ghost? Figure your 100 pounds of stinky meat? Yang Feng impatiently kicked Cao Yingmao's ass, "What are you still doing here, wait for me to send you silver, you are just a hundred households, and you have died eight taels of silver and a stone of grain every month, and there will definitely be no more, understand?" ”
After listening to Yang Feng's words, Cao Yingmao was stunned for a long time and asked with some trembling: "My lord, can you also receive silver and food from a humble position?" ”
Seeing Cao Yingmao's unbelievable appearance, Yang Feng didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and returned to his seat. Cao Yingmao wanted to step forward and ask his brother to understand, but was forcibly pulled back by Chu Maoguang and Xu Li, who were already in a hurry next to him.
Yang Feng walked back to his seat, glanced at everyone, and suddenly smiled, "What, don't you believe in this official's words?" ”
"This ......"
As the person with the highest official position among the people except Yang Feng, Geng Bingyi let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "It's really a little unbelievable, do you know how much silver taels and grain you have to spend every month?" Are we poor soldiers worth spending so much money to raise them? ”
"This official is not a fool, of course he knows!" Yang Feng waved his hand disdainfully, "This official has calculated, so that the silver taels that this official spends on you every month will be more than two thousand taels, and the grain will be nearly three hundred stones, and it will be even more in a year." But ......"
Speaking of this, Yang Feng's voice suddenly became louder, "You have to remember that the world will not drop silver and food in vain, and this official is not a great benevolent person who opens a charity hall, after the Chinese New Year, all sergeants over the age of sixteen and under the age of thirty-five must re-train every day, and the official must train a division of tigers and wolves to defend the official's industry!" The rest of the families of military households also have to work, repair canals, cultivate fields, etc., of course, all this is paid, and everyone will not be allowed to work in vain, and the specific regulations will be announced by the official after the year! ”
After listening to Yang Feng's words, many people's faces showed a look of surprise, it turned out that Lord Yang asked everyone to take care of the home and work for him. But it's strange to say, after hearing this, everyone's original hearts were also relaxed, Geng Bingyi and several officers glanced at each other, and the hearts that were originally carried slowly relaxed.
This is normal, otherwise how can there be such a good thing in this world, and send silver and food, I really think that people are the reincarnation of saints, people have spent so much money to send food and weapons and armor, and the feeling is to ask everyone to work for him, but this is the right reason, serving people's jobs has to work for others, isn't it like this throughout the ages, not to mention that the price of Lord Yang is high enough.
In this way, what was supposed to be a happy banquet was that everyone ate a little bit, everyone was stunned by the bombshell thrown by Yang Feng, everyone hurriedly ate some food and drank a few sips of wine before saying goodbye and going back, and Yang Feng did not stop everyone, he knew that everyone needed time to digest all this he said.
That night, the entire Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households were shaken, and the most shocked were those military households who had no food and clothing. Originally, they had nothing, they could only rely on being tenants, coolies and even begging for officers to make a living, and now working for Lord Yang is just a change of owner, who to work with is not doing, but there are not no doubtful people, each sergeant is paid one tael of actual salary and three liters of food every month, this kind of treatment can be compared with the most elite battalion soldiers in the nine sides, can Lord Yang afford to support so many people?
In this way, in the midst of doubt, Su Jin began his first reform of this era.
The first step Yang Feng did was to select sergeants to reorganize the army, after a few days of selection, Yang Feng selected a total of 826 sergeants, and Yang Feng said that the selected sergeants are only temporary, and there will be three months of training after the Chinese New Year, only those who are qualified in the training can finally stay in the team, and those who are not qualified will go to the farm to farm and repair the canals.
Although many people expressed doubts about Yang Feng's methods, all doubts were suppressed under Yang Feng's money and food offensive, after all, the world has the biggest meal, Yang Feng has paid all of them food, and that is their owner, no matter what he wants to do, they will just do it......
In front of the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households is Mochou Lake, and the back is by the Yangtze River, the abundance of water resources is naturally undoubted, but in these years, due to the disrepair of water conservancy, many fertile fields in the Thousand Households have a shortage of water, and because the water level of the Yangtze River is relatively low, it has become a problem to take water for irrigation, so the first thing Yang Feng did after officially taking office was to mobilize the military households to repair the water conservancy, and he seized the time to come to Nanjing City.
"Lord Yang, this is the treasure you dedicate to the emperor?"
In a private room in the Donglai Silver Building, the shopkeeper Shi looked at the things on the table and widened his eyes, his mouth was wide enough to stuff a duck egg, and he muttered to Cao Dazhong on the side.
This is a miniature version of the wooden house, whether it is a bed, bedding, coffee table or even stools, tables and chairs are all available in the wooden house, there are a few vivid women in it, what surprises Cao Dazhong is that if this thing is shiny, when it is bright, it will emit a layer of dazzling light, and there is a clockwork on it, after tightening this clockwork, it will sound a pleasant faintness, and the women in the room will also dance, when he first saw this thing, Cao Dazhong even thought that this was a fairyland.
"Intriguing...... It's ingenious! ”
Cao Dazhong on the side was also amazed, he didn't know what words to use to describe this treasure, at this time he could already conclude that when he sent this thing into the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be surprised.
"Yang Feng, you have made a great contribution this time...... What a great achievement! ”
Cao Dazhong muttered to himself while imagining the benefits he would get after offering this treasure, and didn't notice Yang Feng standing on the side at all.
