In the palace of Shengjing, laughter and laughter still continued, and October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen was cruel and harvesty. The soldiers of the Ming army enjoyed the fruits of this battle.

In addition to the eye-catching generals, Lin Qingye and Matsui Zhengxue, the foreign generals of the advance regiment who followed Xu Wen, all obtained the official status of the Ming Royal Guards Legion, and they also won the third-class merit.

Hailancha and Cui Yingxian won the special move, and also won the third-class merit, and quickly completed the transformation from ordinary list to sergeant. In addition, Li Dingguo got the second-class merit, and Qi Shan, who attacked and killed Baiyintu with Li Dingguo, also got the second-class merit.

It's just that what makes Qi Shan cry and laugh is that because there are not many high-level works in the army, everyone regards the Baiyin map killed by Qi Shan as the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai, so that the wrong name was passed on in the good news later.

However, the Baiyin map is also a solid mountain, and the weight of military merits is the same, and Qi Shan doesn't care.

In addition, there are some differences in the fact that Hailancha and Mei Lutang were awarded in the palace square, while Cui Yingxian and Fu Lichen were awarded in the palace and half an hour ago.

They are all officers of the intelligence system, and it is clearly not safe to be exposed.

Ni Yuanlu read quickly, and the results of each military merit promulgation caused bursts of cheers. But he knows that everyone is looking forward to the final event.

But this time, it wasn't Ni Yuanlu who was reading.

Zhu Cihong walked out, his smile was gentle, his smile was very relaxed, and he waved as he walked, causing bursts of cheers.

"The soldiers have worked hard. Your cheers make me proud and proud, this is a moment of victory, a moment of freedom to vent my pride. It's even more ...... Harvest time. After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, there was a burst of more eager cheers, and finally when everyone eagerly came down, Zhu Cihong smiled sincerely. And he said, "Now, I'll start with an appetizer." I consulted with the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet to make a decision. In this battle, in addition to the daily wartime allowance, every soldier participating in the war will be awarded the Liaodong Hero Medal. For this reason, a bonus of fifty taels of silver was distributed for each medal! All the soldiers relied on their military numbers to receive the stubs of Hengxin Bank. You can see your grants and bonuses there! ”

"All disabled soldiers, I, Zhu Cihong, promise to give you a job, and get another fifty taels while receiving the bonus, and all fallen soldiers, in addition to the pension of one hundred taels of silver that has already been fixed, the immediate family members under the age of eighteen will be supported until eighteen, and they can be enrolled in the junior military academy for free!"

"Long live Daming!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose!"

"Long live Daming!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose!"

……

In the corner, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh, this is really a big deal.

The Royal Guards were treated excellently. In addition to eating and drinking, which is already three times higher than that of ordinary troops, the military salary is also amazing.

It's not that the pay itself is high.

In this era, the level of military pay was not high, and an ordinary soldier was only 12 stone rice a year without calculating military pay with silver. Converted into silver, a horse army is only two taels of silver a month. Even the Guanning Army, which has the highest level of military salaries in the country, can only be paid 20 taels of silver a year when the military salary is abundant.

In this regard, Zhu Cihong's Royal Guards Regiment soldiers only have ten silver a year. Even lower than normal. Although there is no fault in the assessment for one year, the promotion to corporal can be added two taels of silver for one year. But almost no one expects this.

They are counting on various types of subsidies.

There is a subsidy for actual combat drills, 20 wen a day.

If it's a real real fight. Especially in the actual combat in such dangerous areas, there are 100 yuan of dangerous combat subsidies every day. That's more than tripled.

This means that each of these soldiers can get a subsidy of three taels a month, which instantly surpasses the Guanning Army, which has always been known for buying lives at high prices. Compared with the prices in the next year, Zhu Cihong's Royal Guards can be called a local tyrant.

In these years, 1 yuan and six cents of high-quality pork silver = 4 catties, which is equivalent to 26.4 yuan a catty. Fine-grade mutton silver 1 yuan and two cents = 4 catties, which is equivalent to 19 yuan per catty

Even three catties of beef are only seven and a half cents of silver. Less than a tael of silver.

What is the concept of fifty taels of silver?

In the middle of the Chongzhen period, Hua and Qingmei fields were worth more than ten taels per mu. Shanghai Tianmei is worth three, four and five taels per mu. In other words, even if it is an economically developed elite area. One acre of heaven and earth is only ten taels, and you can buy five acres to be a small landlord. In a place like Shanghai County, you can buy ten acres and be a leisurely little landlord!

Later generations had difficulty understanding the concept of the field for the majority of the people of this era. But it only takes a slight switch to understand.

The five acres of beautiful fields in China and Qingdao are equivalent to a house in Beijing and Shanghai and an iron rice bowl with a general career establishment.

Shanghai County is a little lower than the Ming Dynasty, but it is also a fat in the south of the Yangtze River, and in later generations, it is a set of houses and a general iron rice bowl in second-tier cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing.

Moreover, it is an iron rice bowl that can be passed down from generation to generation!

Not to mention that Zhu Cihong never forgot to take care of the disabled soldiers and martyrs. Such a generous gesture is not only a generous treatment that can be explained simply, but also represents that Zhu Cihong treats these soldiers who worked hard for him as people in his heart.

Even in the era of Taizu and Chengzu, the care for soldiers was not as thoughtful. Of course, the most important thing is ...... Generous.

Zhu Cihong's generosity caused countless cheers.

In the corner, Hailan observed that Cui Yingxian became nervous in vain.

They seem to have a premonition that they are going to be the focus of attention next.

Sure enough, Zhu Cihong beckoned, and a row of honor guards walked up to the stage, each holding a jade plate, covered with red silk, and there was a revered glory inside.

As a high-ranking officer, Xu Yanqi was quietly calm in his heart, and he had probably heard what was inside.

Zhu Cihong's voice rang out at the right time: "The following rankings are in no particular order. Xu Yanqi, Hai Lancha, Cui Yingxian, Mei Lutang ......"

One by one, the winners of the third-class merit were called by name.

Cui Yingxian's whole body bounced up like a longbow, walked out of the queue, and walked onto the stage together with the third-class merit winners such as Hailancha and Mei Lutang under the envious gaze.

"Congratulations, heroes. We will remember your outstanding performance on the battlefield, and in recognition of your outstanding performance in the war, you are hereby awarded the Order of Merit of the Third Class and ...... A prize of 1,000 taels of silver! He said. Zhu Cihong lifted the red silk, and inside, the military medals made of pure gold shone brightly in the sun. But what made everyone's eyes even hotter was that in addition to this military medal, there was also a big red printed fold beside him.

"That's the silver ticket of Hengxin Money, I heard that the paper used is more expensive than the first-class proclamation, and the anti-counterfeiting mark on it and the watermark like a trick are all top-notch, and there is no second imitation." Li Dingguo was born in the Military Aircraft Department. Well-read and well-informed, he has heard about financial matters. The watermark has been used in ancient times, and it is a texture or pattern that is woven into a thread on the paper curtain to highlight the curtain surface, and the density difference of the pulp here when the paper is copied, and the light perspective has a bright pattern between the faces. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a watermark paper on Yanbo paper.

Of course, the ability of watermarks is small. Zhu Cihong was able to show the value of a thousand taels in a small book, and the most important thing was credit.

These credits, first of all, are the one-to-one direct payment of military salaries promoted by Zhu Cihong's prestige in the army.

The so-called straight military salary, the innovation is the disadvantage of the former Ming army drinking the blood of soldiers. A soldier was given twenty taels of silver a year. When the household department is handed over, there is one less layer, and the generals and officers are handed over layer by layer, and in the end, it may not be ten taels in the hands of the soldiers.

Zhu Cihong, who sighed deeply about the loss, distributed military numbers to all officers and soldiers, and then collectively made a passbook for all soldiers in Hengxin Bank, and through the passbook, the one-to-one distribution of military salaries was realized. Military salaries are transferred directly and no longer handle any officers. In this way, the exploitation was successfully blocked.

In order to promote this law. Zhu Cihong also opened a military store within the regiment.

Gold and silver currency are not accepted in the shop, only silver tickets from Hengxin Bank. But the other way around. The most convenient way to get a silver ticket is to open a passbook.

In this way, soldiers with passbooks not only do not have to worry about the silver going missing, but also can use the silver tickets of Hengxin Money Bank to buy rich and affordable materials in the internal store of the legion, and most importantly, to realize remittance, military pay can quickly transfer the money to their families through Hengxin Bank's network all over the world.

Zhu Cihong was worried that these measures would not be able to reassure the soldiers. Unexpectedly, as soon as I heard that the passbook was handled, there was no need to worry about deductions, and the soldiers ran faster than the birds in the world one by one, and the method of the passbook was fully launched.

This time, Zhu Cihong took out a silver ticket. The crowd no longer thinks it's waste paper.

And this kind of credit, in addition to military salary, also has Zhu Cihong's own credit, Hengxin Qian Zhuang is Zhu Cihong's family background. In addition, Hengxin Qianzhuang worked hard in Henan, and before the grain shortage in Kaifeng, Hengxin Grain Bank directly sold affordable grain, and countless lives were lost, which laid a deep-rooted reputation.

Just when Li Dingguo was thinking far-reaching, Qi Shan beside him touched Li Dingguo's arm and said in a low voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?" It's our turn! Second-class merit, not only that, but also at least a thousand taels of silver! ”

The third-class merit has a thousand taels, let alone the second-class merit?

Li Dingguo's eyes suddenly became hot.

100 acres of fertile land is recruiting in front of you!

Oh no, it's at least 100 acres of fertile land!

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo, Qi Shan and Hu Dawei stepped onto the high platform one after another.

After some encouragement, Zhu Cihong untied the red silk and said the long-awaited number: "The bonus for second-class merit is...... Three thousand taels of silver! ”

"His Highness Chitose!"

"His Highness Chitose!"

"His Highness Chitose!"

……

Cheers of courage, countless people's eyes are extremely hot.

Next, Xu Wen walked up.

"First-class merit, Xu Wen. Bonus... Six thousand taels! As soon as Zhu Cihong's words fell, the eyes of cheer and envy were focused on Xu Wen's body. As the soldiers of the advance regiment, they endured the most dangerous environment, received the most brutal casualty rate, and made the most outstanding military achievements.

Although the figure of six thousand taels is very high, everyone takes it for granted.

Finally, Ma Wu walked up.

When this Liaodong remnant returned to the land of Liaodong, he had changed his identity, he was no longer a fugitive who was hunted down, but a victor who made all the Tartar invaders look up to.

Going deep into dangerous places, recruiting teammates, and plotting against the Koreans, one by one legendary deeds were told in Zhu Cihong's mouth, causing countless admiring eyes.

In the end, Zhu Cihong said the highest number in the audience: "Winner of Special Merit: Ma Wu." Congratulations, the prize of 10,000 taels is on your passbook. ”

Ma Wu was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly: "Yes...... Temple...... Your Highness, my subordinates, thank you, Your Highness! ”

"Alas...... Wait......" Zhu Cihong stopped Ma Wu's salute: "It's not over yet." ”

A good-natured laugh rang out.

Zhu Cihong looked around at everyone and said: "I estimated the danger and glory of this battle before the war, and after the war, when you stand here, you must also have a deep understanding of these. ”

In the hall, everyone's eyes changed. Such a high number of bonuses is not only an incentive, but also a measure of the dangers they face and the merits they have made.

Naturally, the soldiers also remembered the dangers along the way, as well as their comrades-in-arms who fell on the road one by one and left them permanently.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Cihong continued: "It can be said that I set the reward standard in front of me at that time. 10,000 taels is indeed quite high for the previous battles of the Ming Dynasty. But...... As I stood here after the war, I felt that the battle was more dangerous than I had imagined, and that the difficulties we faced and the results we had finally seen far exceeded what I had originally anticipated. Facts have proved that your heroic deeds will be passed down through the ages. Similarly, correspondingly, this standard that was originally considered relatively high is relatively low now. ”

Ma Wu suddenly understood why Zhu Cihong said that it was not over.

Turns out, the rewards don't stop there!

Everyone's eyes were solemn.

"Therefore, all the soldiers who have won military merits will also get what I have allocated: shares of the Daming Expeditionary Company. For example, Ma Wu, you won a special combat merit and got a bonus of 10,000 taels. This time, I will also give you an additional 10,000 shares in the name of my Ming Crown Prince and the wholly-owned investor of the expeditionary company. The rest of the soldiers also received shares according to the specification of one or two silver bonuses and one share. Zhu Cihong looked around at everyone and saw a lot of confused expressions.

This time, Zhu Cihong stopped talking.

He found Qi Yuan. This former naval officer showed excellent management talent in Japan, and now he is the treasurer of the expeditionary company.

Qi Yuan stepped forward and bowed his hand to everyone, and also saw the surprised gaze of his old acquaintance Xu Wen.

As soon as he opened, Qi Yuan showed his humor: "In Xia Qiyuan, I used to be an officer of the Navy Division, and I think you should have heard of Zai Boming." Of course, now that His Highness has appointed his subordinates as the treasurer of the expeditionary company, then he will say hello to several new owners, why? Get rich! The shares given by His Highness are with dividends that have not yet been paid this year. Take this opportunity to introduce the expedition company below, and also borrow the treasure land to use it and distribute dividends on the spot! (To be continued.) )
