"Twenty taels of silver and four stones of grain per month for thousands of households, ten taels of silver and two stones of grain per month for deputy thousand households, eight taels of silver and one stone of grain per month for each of the hundred households, five taels of silver and eight liters of grain per person per month for the general banner, three taels of silver and five liters of grain per person per month for small banners, one tael of silver and three liters of grain per month for ordinary sergeants, and the weapons and armor of the sergeants are all covered by thousands of households, and at the end of each year, the diligent military households will be commended."

Listening to these words, the officers of the Shenchi Fort Thousand Households Office and the Jiangpu Thousand Households Office were simply listening to fairy tales, and the land did not need to be planted, and they were paid food and salaries every month.

Qiu Disheng's voice changed, and he stared at Yang Feng and said tremblingly: "Yang ...... Lord Yang, you ...... Do you know how much money it costs each month? ”

"You know what." Chu Maoguang glared at him with disdain: "Our Lord Yang's business is big, you know the glass mirrors sold in Donglai Shunyin Building in Nanjing City recently, that is the business that our Lord Yang and Gonggong Cao have partnered to do, and recently they have also done business in Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion, which are first-class and prosperous places, not to mention the few people in our health office, even if they are doubled, they can afford to raise them." ”

"Hiss......"

Many people gasped when they heard this, they naturally knew that Donglai Shunyinlou was the most popular jewelry store in Nanjing during this recent period, and the glass mirrors it sold were very fond of the dignitaries and nobles to the businessmen and gentry, especially those ladies and ladies were even more crazy, and it was not easy to greet people when they went out without a glass mirror of Donglai Shunyinlou.

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, if this business was really a partnership between Yang Feng and Gonggong Cao, then it was really not bragging to support Jiang Ningwei and these people.

However, some people raised questions again, and Yang Zhenye asked again: "Lord Commander, the subordinate officer still has a question, please solve your doubts." ”

Yang Feng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then said, "Say it!" ”

"Lord Commander, you have been promoted to commander, Wang Qianhu was arrested by you and escorted to the capital because of his disrespect to you, so that the Qianhu of Jiangdongmen and Xijiangkou Qianhu are vacant, if the imperial court sends two Qianhu down, will you still pay them food and salary as usual?"

"Huh...... Oh yes. ”

Only then did everyone remember that the current Jiangdongmen Qianhu Office and the Xijiangkou Qianhu Office were vacant at once, and if the Qianhu sent by the imperial court did not deal with the commander, what would it be. At that time, everything Yang Feng did in the thousands of households in Jiangdong Gate was not to make wedding clothes for others.

After listening to Yang Zhenye's words, Yang Feng not only did not worry, but said lightly: "This official has his own considerations, you don't have to worry." As long as he comes to Jiang Ningwei, the official will treat him as a brother, but if someone insists on eating inside and out, the official will not be so stupid, and then he will stop paying all his salary and let him fend for himself. ”

"This ......"

Everyone glanced at each other, and after pondering for a while, they were suddenly scared into a cold sweat.

Yang Feng's trick is really powerful, as the so-called thrift into luxury, from luxury to thrift, when all the officers and sergeants of the Thousand Households are accustomed to receiving enough food to feed the whole family every month, suddenly one day without this salary, the people below will really turn the sky, even if you are a thousand households sent by the imperial court, as long as you disobey Yang Feng, as long as Yang Feng stops your food, it is equivalent to being pinched by a seven-inch poisonous snake, and no matter how unruly people have to kneel.

Thinking of this, everyone bowed down to Yang Feng and said in unison: "The commander is wise!" ”

Looking at the people who bowed down in unison, Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, it seems that no matter what era, the power of money is equally powerful, and the same is true for the troops. As long as you are in charge of the food and salary supply of the troops, then this army will no longer be able to jump out of the palm of your hand.

"Everyone!" Yang Feng's blazing eyes shot at everyone like lightning, "I won't say much about the superfluous words, after you go back, you will make a register of the land population as soon as possible, and after three days, the official will go to your thousand households to personally train the sergeants, all things must be completed within ten days, before the end of this year, the official will build an elite army, do you understand?" ”

The officers of the Senhe Office of Shenike Fort and the Sendo of Jiangpu shouted in unison, "Obey the orders of the generals!" ”

Under the leadership of Yang Feng, a vigorous reform was carried out in Jiangningwei. In addition to the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households, Yang Feng personally led people to select a total of 4,600 young and strong soldiers from the Shenchibao Thousand Households, Jiangpu Thousand Households and Xijiangkou Thousand Households as sergeants, and then Yang Feng gathered all these sergeants near Jiangningwei for intensive training, and sent the officers and most of the veterans of the former Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households Office out as instructors, and a vigorous military training movement began, and this military training movement also alarmed the magnates of Nanjing City, which was close at hand.

"What does this Yang Feng want to do? He...... He dared to recruit sergeants privately, did he want to plot against him? ”

In the yamen of the military department in Nanjing, Xu Hongji, who had hurried here, was losing his temper in front of Liao Yongquan and the British public Zhang Weixian.

Zhang Weixian also frowned and said: "Lord Liao, Yang Feng was originally lawless and unruly, if he is allowed to master thousands of elite soldiers, I am afraid that we will not be able to control him even more." ”

"Don't you think I know?" Liao Yongquan also vomited bitterness, "But Yang Feng's move did not violate the system, according to the Ming ancestral system, Jiang Ningwei is the internal guard of Nanjing, according to the system, there should be four thousand households, a total of 5,600 soldiers." It's just that since the Jiajing period, the guard has been declining, not to mention the establishment of 5,600 people, and the entire guard does not even have 2,000 sergeants. ”

"I'm ......%¥#@"

Xu Hongji almost didn't catch his breath, he couldn't deal with him, he had to praise him, what kind of world is this!

"Is it just to watch him sit down like this?"

Looking at Xu Hongji's indignant expression, Liao Yongquan could only shake his head helplessly and said that he had no choice, don't look at him as Nanjing's military secretary, but Nanjing's military department secretary doesn't have much power to put it bluntly, in the past, they held Jiang Ningwei's food and salary, and they could pinch whoever they wanted, but now they have met Yang Feng, a freak, and people don't bird you at all if they have money and food, what can he do.
