Gaoyang can provide the necessary living security for those people in Daming who are living in difficulty and need assistance free of charge. All kinds of basic daily necessities for food and clothing.

It's just that, in the modern time and space with great abundance of materials, how can there only be these things for food and clothing? In order to provide a large amount of non-essential supplies to everyone, as well as for the purpose of recovering excess money. It was here that Gaoyang built a huge department store for people who had money in their hands.

Gao Yang has silver, and he can provide a large amount of silver taels to the Ming Empire without any scruples. However, silver is only a precious metal currency. If too much is invested, but the same amount of consumer goods cannot be bought, it will inevitably cause deflation in the whole society. Even if you have money, you can't buy something, or if you have a small quantity, the price will rise sharply.

Not to mention the tens of thousands of new troops who spend so much money every month. It is only said that this time the northward exit defeated the Manchu army, and the number of beheaded prisoners was so large, and there were so many prominent Manchu and Mongolian magnates among them. The scale of that silver bounty is terrifying!

According to the reward standard set by Gao Yang, the initial estimate is that the reward to be issued to the new army is more than 10 million taels of silver to = top = point == less! The Ming Empire's regular tax revenue a year is only a few million taels of silver!

So much silver was put into the small market of Jingshi and Beizhili at once, and the result was bound to be the complete collapse of the entire monetary system!

In addition to distributing the silver in installments, the best way to digest it is to let the sergeants spend all the money in their hands!

The market wasn't meant to be profitable. All Gao Yang has to do is to make the silver circulate. Here is a 10% discount for the new army sergeants! In an era of low productivity, this is a great temptation.

Wang Wu and Li Gouyu didn't go far before they found that there were many military robes gathered around them. There are all kinds of troops. There are also quite a few acquaintances among them. Everyone thinks the same way, and the direction of the way forward is the same. It's rare to have a holiday, and everyone wants to bring something good back home.

After a short time, these sergeants soon arrived at this supermarket, which was already famous in Beijing.

If you dare to call it a supermarket, it must be very large first. And this supermarket does live up to its reputation. As far as the eye can see, the entire range of the mile is all!

The perimeter is a three-metre-high blue-grey brick wall to isolate some unscrupulous nocturnal activists. Of course. This high wall is used as a defense against ordinary people. For those who are true professionals, the main means of defense are advanced night vision devices and infrared sensing devices.

Since its opening, hundreds of people have been arrested here. The Jingshi left near, and even the entire Beizhili territory of the famous three hands were almost all trapped here. Whether they were sent or volunteered, all of them had already been sent to work in the mines.

Wang Wu, Li Gouyu and the others walked and found that there were more and more people in front of them, and when they arrived at the gate of Lifang. It's already crowded here!

Men, women and children dressed in different costumes flock here as if they were rushing to a market. There are those who carry baskets, those who carry burdens, and those who push small four-wheeled carts that have just begun to be sold! Listening to the accent is not only a local in Beijing, but also in all the surrounding prefectures and counties! At the outermost end there is also a group of vendors selling breakfast on carts. Shouting and shouting, that is called a lively.

The avenue, which was once very wide, has already become crowded. More than 100 officials of the Shuntian Mansion sweated profusely and roared loudly. Wielding the water and fire stick in his hand, he desperately tried to maintain order on the scene. It's just that there are too many people at the moment, and they can't take care of it at all.

"Why are there so many people? Where did it all come from? Li Gouyu and the others looked at the gate of Lifang not far away, which was almost impassable. Don't understand what's going on? They trained very strictly before they left the border, and they hardly had time to come here. This is the first time I've been here.

"Where else could it come from? Aren't they all from Kyoshi? At most, there are some peripheral leftovers who have come to the market recently. "The same person who spoke was a local from Beijing, Zhou Qi, who did not collect troops at night in the new army. Now he is a platoon commander.

When going out of the customs to fight the Manchu army, Zhou Qi's unit successfully ambushed the Manchu white flag lord Duoduo! It has made a great contribution. Zhou Qi and they all received at least a thousand taels of silver when they distributed silver bounties after the war! With money in hand, my mother's illness was cured by the military medical officer. After Zhou Qi let go of the big stone in his heart, he had already come here to buy things for his family when he just returned to Jingshi.

"Brother Zhou." Wang Wu nodded to Zhou Qi, they had known each other before. The new military regulations, when the military is on vacation. A military salute is not required. Unless it's a boss. That is, officers above the company level. And now all officers above the company level are made up of biochemical soldiers, who never leave the barracks on vacation.

Zhou Qi smiled and nodded in response, and turned his gaze to the noisy and lively gate of Lifang. Shaking his head slightly, he whispered, "I've heard that this is the case almost every day here. There is plenty of stuff here. Not to mention the abundance of variety. The price is also very fair! Every day, from the opening to the closing, there is a constant flow of water. ”

"How do you open your door and do business like this? Can't get in? Li Gouyu pouted and said.

Zhou Qi stretched his body, turned his head and nodded to the teahouses not far away, and gestured, "Look over there, those people are all in charge of purchasing in the various mansions and palaces of the Jingshi." Now the doors are not open. Squeezing is also white squeezing. When the time came, the door opened. Whoever dares to rush directly will be closed by the gate for a day! Don't look at the panic now, waiting for the door to open is all honest. ”

Wang Wu and Li Gouyu turned their heads to look over. Really. A group of brightly dressed people leisurely drink tea in the teahouse. Outside the teahouse, there are four-wheeled carts. Groups of healthy servants gathered together, smoking cigarettes and chatting and farting.

"Huh." Zhou Qi smiled and took out a cigarette to scatter cigarettes to a group of robes around him.

"Yo-hee." A sergeant took the cigarette and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "If you don't collect it at night, you have money." This soft pack of Chinese cigarettes costs three dollars of silver, to say the least? It's really the envy of those of us who broke our legs. ”

Gaoyang provided sufficient rations to the army. Cigarettes are also provided free of charge. However, it is not an unlimited supply, it is also limited.

Like cigarettes, the daily ration share per person is one pack on weekdays, and two packs in wartime. It's yours to smoke or not. The cigarettes rationed are also of the same brand. And such as Chinese cigarettes, which can only be bought in military stores, are very expensive! It's all about luxury.

It's not that Gao Yang is reluctant, but this practice is a psychological suggestion. People tend not to value things that are too readily available. Let the formation of the herd heart.

As for the words and logos on the cigarette packaging, Gao Yang was too lazy to modify the application. Anyway, people in this time and space won't understand what those simplified characters and digital signs mean when they see it.

"Don't, I do it occasionally, it's too expensive. Hehe. Zhou Qi raised his chin and said with a smile. Men, it's all a good face. At this time, I took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from the precious dead and looked at the envious eyes of the robes, which was really refreshing.

A group of Forces nouvelles sergeants pulled out their allotted windproof lighters and lit cigarettes. Gathered together, they smoked beautifully.

Not far away, people inside and outside the teahouse all looked at these new soldiers with envy. The cigarettes in their hands were all bought in the inner square. The cheap ones are no more than ten cents, and the expensive ones are no more than a penny. It can't be compared with those new troops. The recruits can buy things at a discount, and they can even pay on credit!

Don't think about this kind of good thing, they can't do it without a penny. It doesn't matter if you are the concierge of the Shoufu family or the housekeeper of the Guozhang family, no one wants to leave if you don't have money. Those who dare to brush up will be beaten and locked up. When to make up the money before you can leave!

At the beginning, I really relied on my identity to reach out to Lifang. And the background is not small. As a result, it hit the military armor steel headlong, and the whole head broke the blood flow! Not to mention that the main family behind it was dismissed and cut off, all the people involved in it were arrested and sent to the coal yard in Luanzhou! Don't even think about coming back. Since then, no one has dared to have a different mind here.

And that's not even the most enviable. What these people envy the most is Wang Wu's identity! They're all New Army sergeants! The new army, which is well paid and whose social status has risen sharply, everyone wants to go at this moment. It's just a pity that the best time has passed. It's too hard to get into the new army now.

It's not like it was before. Although the new army continues to recruit new soldiers, the recruitment conditions are almost skyrocketing!

Not to mention anything else, the fact that those who can read and write is the first priority makes most people dumbfounded. If you have a mother, who will be a big soldier if you can read and write? Didn't you go to the exam to become an official early? Are you recruiting?!

For those lowly sergeants who easily entered the new army in the first few batches, the attitude of all was full of envy! That's a real benefit!

This new army is different from those in other parts of the Ming Dynasty that are inferior to those called Hanako. Favorable treatment conditions, prestigious military exploits, good training and abundant material supplies make this new army have a very high social status in Beijing and the entire Beizhili! Anyone who has experienced the baptism of war can understand that such an army is the greatest reliance to protect their lives! Those who do it all day long, the big turbans of Guan Ju doves can't do it!

That's what Gao Yang meant to be. The martial spirit of a nation cannot be given up by itself no matter when or under any circumstances!

Reading is okay and should be. But you can't give up your fist just because you're studying! Without the protection of swords and shields, can a scholar alone defend a country? Cruel history has long taught everyone that it is impossible! Blood and iron swords are the cornerstones of a country! Without a strong enough fist, the only end is to be slaughtered!
