Sure enough, it came!

The dozens of soldiers present were all pale, since the mutiny, the imperial court has disposed of dozens of partners, although the food and salary are still paid, but everyone is worried, for fear that the imperial court will settle accounts after the autumn.

I was afraid of anything, but I didn't expect the imperial court to cut and abolish the Zhenwu camp.

Back then, in order to resist the Japanese, the big guys were gathered, born and died, and after so many battles, with a light word, they were going to be laid off, and what did we think of! Wipe the butt paper, throw it away after use, it's really deceitful!

Another official said that he was afraid that the soldiers would mutiny on the spot, but in the face of Tang Yi, everyone had no confidence and lowered their heads one by one.

Sun Fan's father-in-law is called Hu Laocheng, a hundred households, and his face was sad when he heard the news, but on the day of the big day, he was afraid that something would happen, and his son-in-law was a stuffy gourd and couldn't speak, only he came forward.

"Lord Tang, you are a good official, the brothers know it in their hearts, the above meaning, you can't disobey, all in all, the brothers will not make it difficult for adults, cut it, and those who have hands and feet will not be hungry after all. Tell the big guy, don't you? ”

One by one, the sergeants lowered their heads and remained silent, and a few of them simply picked up their wine bowls and drank the sour turbid wine, as if there was a fire in their hearts, scurrying around.

Although it is not good to be a soldier, you can have one stone of food a month, and you can still fill your stomach. The big guy is not young anymore, he can be an apprentice in his teens, he is in his twenties and thirties, and he really doesn't know what he can do except farming. But if there is land to be cultivated at home, who would join the army with their heads?

The thought of losing their jobs makes no one feel good, and some people even have red circles under their eyes and hold back tears. Hu Laocheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

The dilapidated courtyard is suffocatingly low.

Sun Fan relied on his courage. broke the silence and said, "My lord, I still want to be a soldier." ”

"Why?"

"I want to feed my son."

"Is one stone of grain enough?"

Sun Fan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head painfully, "It's not enough, it's better than nothing!" ”

"Hahaha!" Tang Yi laughed. "Actually, it's not that there is no room for manoeuvre."

As soon as these words came out, the big guys came to their senses and listened attentively.

"This officer can help, break you up, assign you to other armies, and continue to eat food and serve as soldiers."

Sun Fan and Hu Laocheng were about to kneel down excitedly, but Tang Yi waved his hand, stopped them, and sighed: "There is a problem of bullying everywhere. You have to do all the dirty work and tiring work, and the food and salary will be less, and every time you fight, you must rush to the front, endure hardships first, and enjoy pleasures last. Truth be told, it's going to be harder than it is now. ”

Tang Yi said honestly, and everyone knows it in their hearts. But is there any other option besides this method? Life no longer allows them to do more extravagant expectations. As long as you can survive, you are lucky.

The biggest motivation for people to live is to hope, tomorrow is better than today, and his son is better than himself, when he knows that the future will only be bleaker, no matter how strong a man is, he will not be able to bear it.

Someone covered his face. I was afraid that others would see my cowardice, but I didn't notice it, and the person opposite also shed tears.

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Tang Yi wanted this kind of effect, only to force them to a dead end. These people will obey their own arrangements.

"Actually, there is another way, I don't know if everyone wants to?"

Hmph, all eyes fell on Tang Yi, and the depths of his eyes burned with a strong light. No one spoke, all of them looked at Tang Yi as reverently as if they were listening to the will of the gods.

"Brothers, the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war has been decided, and it is inevitable that the imperial court will disarm on a large scale. As an official of the imperial court, this official is also helpless, but everyone has served for the imperial court for many years, and they are not young, and if they leave the barracks, they will have no source of livelihood. After these days of reflection, the official decided to set up a Yangtze River shipping company to specialize in ship freight. Transporting the grain from Sichuan and Huguang to the southeast, and then selling the silk furniture from the southeast to Huguang and Sichuan. Between the exchanges, a large number of people are needed, escorted and transported, and your livelihood is settled. ”

After Tang Yi finished speaking, he did not get the expected enthusiastic response, but was disappointed and depressed that could not be concealed. The soldiers shook their heads and sighed, quite disapproving. Hu Laocheng glared at the big guy, and scolded angrily: "Rabbit cub, for the sake of the big guy, Lord Tang asked you to move things to make money, what else is not satisfied?" If you are diligent, can you still starve to death? ”

When he scolded like this, there was finally a young soldier who said bravely: "How tiring it is to carry the work, from morning to night, I can't get a few coppers, and I am beaten every day, I don't want to." ”

"I do!" Sun Fan stood up and said loudly: "Whatever Lord Tang asks me to do, I will do whatever I want, Lord Tang will not cheat us." ”

There is still a good way, Tang Yi reluctantly smiled: "Go back to Zhenwu Camp to open a retired paperwork, take the paperwork to the account office of the shipping company, they will give you a stock, and dividends will be distributed according to this in the future." ”

What kind of company, what stock, Sun Fan doesn't understand, but he understands the word dividend.

Swallowing his saliva, he asked stupidly, "How much?" ”

"It's hard to say!" Tang Yi said: "The share capital of the shipping company is one million taels for the time being, of which thirty percent is given to the honorable officers, after all, it is up to them to get through the relationship, and the people who work below are also thirty percent, as for the remaining forty percent, they must be left to the upstream and downstream merchants, with shares, are they willing to use our shipping company!" Thirty percent is 300,000 taels, converted into stocks, one is five taels of silver, if the shipping company makes a net profit of one million taels a year, a stock can be divided into five taels of silver. Of course, there are good and bad businesses, dividends are more or less, and the more stable ones are wages. ”

"And wages!" Sun Fan's mouth was wide open.

What a stupid boy, Tang Yi smiled: "Can you still get paid for your work?" The tentative minimum wage is six pieces of silver, and you can earn more for your work, as well as bonuses and allowances, which can be more than you can be a soldier. ”

"How much?" Sun Fan was rarely alert, and immediately asked.

"It's hard to say, but you can refer to Yantietang, the earliest batch of workers, after a year, the wages plus dividends, at least fifty taels of silver, and those who are allocated to the land earn more."

Suck!

All the people made a frightened voice, fifty taels a year, silver!

How much money do they have to be soldiers, one stone of grain a month, and only six dollars in silver, compared to it, it is simply a world of difference, and the judgment is like mud. Everyone's heads were stupid, they couldn't believe it at all, they all thought that Tang Yi was lying to them, how could there be such a good thing in the world.

Many sergeants believed that working in a shipping company was to be a slave or a coolie for others, and they firmly did not believe that they could make a fortune or even change their fate.

Once a person is strong, it's really hard to say, one by one, with a tiger's face, a head down, no oil and salt, and full of elm pimples.

Later, Tang Yi simply didn't need to spit at the foam, he gave an order to Taicang, transferred more than 200 workers, and asked them to show up and tell the soldiers what had happened to them in the past few years!

When the former refugees, one by one, well-dressed, stood in front of the soldiers, they were completely dumbfounded.

All those who participated in the excavation of salt and iron ponds, most of them got the shares of the canal ticket number, although it was very weak after that, but the canal ticket number developed into a traffic line, and became the financial overlord of the southeast, they can be regarded as the original shareholders, the little stock in their hands, have increased a hundred times, and there is a large amount of money every year just for dividends.

A few years ago, they all became well-off.

Nowadays, it is even more remarkable, some people have purchased land and become small landlords, and some people have opened shops, built workshops, have a flexible mind, have made a lot of money, and their lives are prosperous.

As for those who are a little more honest and stupid, they stay in the traffic line, and they also have a lot of work to do, receiving wages, holding dividends, chic, all year round, the income of dozens of taels is enough to send the children of the family to the school.

In today's Taicang, almost every child can study and go to school, even if they attach importance to education, Shaoxing, where teachers are everywhere, can't compare.

Especially after the establishment of the Three Universities in Hangzhou, Taicang immediately followed up, and without the government's money, the gentry and workers under the traffic line made up enough money.

Spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers and teach various courses. In the past few years, students from Taicang have won the first place in Suzhou almost every year. In the 37th year of Jiajing's township test, Suzhou Prefecture took 76 people in one go, including five kui, of which 25 came from Taicang.

In the past, Suzhou was very strong, but it was not so outrageous, a government occupied more than half of Nanzhili, and the rest of Huizhou, Yangzhou, and Yingtian were all ruthlessly crushed, and the joint hand was not as good as Suzhou.

In addition to the glory of the imperial examination, Suzhou's students are more involved in the field of industrial and commercial finance.

The Suzhou merchant gang also rose rapidly, and the leader Nan Zhili, some people even asserted that within thirty years, the Suzhou merchants could surpass the Jin merchants and become the most powerful commercial force in the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion, from the more than 200 workers, saw confidence and heard hope.

Some children are only in their teens and were admitted to Xiucai, and some run workshops, which are richer than the rich people in the village......

Look at others, and then look at yourself, you are ashamed of yourself. A few years ago, they were even worse than themselves, they were all a group of refugees, why could they be mixed up like today, isn't it just to catch a ride on the "Tang Yi".

A Yantietang Canal has created so many people, what will happen to a Yangtze River?

As long as you are not a fool, you will settle this account.

It turns out that the power of example is endless.

In an instant, a whirlwind blew, and the soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion rushed to retire from the army and joined the shipping company, and the moment they held the stocks, they all burst into tears, and they pointed to this piece of paper for the rest of their lives! (To be continued.) )
