The rise of the poor

Chapter 1423 Pay
The most beautiful morning light has never belonged to lazy people, only those who get up early are qualified to appreciate it.Today's Taohuaji has this qualification. When the first ray of sunlight bursts from the east, everyone has gathered in Taohuaji.

Zhu Ping'an stood at the highest point of the hillside, and there were three and a half meters tall boxes neatly placed under his feet.

"I didn't expect to get up so early to be a soldier. Back then, as long as I didn't have my turn to stand guard in the village, I could sleep until the sun was up."

"I chopped down trees for a long time yesterday, and my whole body is sore and tired. Can't my lord let us sleep a little longer? We don't want to fight."

"What are you muttering about? What's wrong with getting up early? Yesterday's meat was eaten into the dog's stomach?!"

"Hey, if we can eat meat every day, let alone getting up early, we would be willing even if we don't go to bed."

"Hey, tell me, what are those three big boxes under our lord's feet?!"

A group of thieves with new rules and regulations joined the army on the first day, and they were full of novelties about getting up early and gathering together, and they talked among each other.

"Brothers, today is the first day for you to officially join the regiment training! Before you came, I promised you that you will be paid monthly! You all believe in me, Zhu Ping'an, and come to surrender. I, Zhu Ping'an, will never let down your trust. Today , I will give you your first month's military salary!" Zhu Pingan stood on the high slope and said loudly to the people down the slope.

"What?! Paying money?!"

"Did I hear you right, my lord wants to pay us?! It's only our first day as a soldier and we're paid?!"

"Didn't your lord drink too much yesterday and talk drunk?! But you didn't drink yesterday?!"

"This is the payment of money?!"

When everyone on the slope heard about the pay, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and couldn't believe their ears.I've only heard of payment in arrears, but haven't heard of payment in advance? !

"Brothers, you heard it right. Today, you will be paid your first month's military pay! From now on, every month today will be your pay day. I promise you that you will never default on your military pay!"

Standing on the hillside, Zhu Ping'an looked at the crowd with a smile, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said loudly.

"It's really paid!"

"Oh my god, I really have to be paid! I never dreamed that I would be paid on my first day as a soldier!"

"Yesterday I ate all I could eat, and today we are receiving paychecks. It's such a beautiful day. I wake up laughing from my dreams."

"God, submitting to your lord is the most correct decision I have made in my life, not one of them!"

Everyone heard Zhu Ping'an repeating today's payment again, and everyone was so excited that they were about to jump up.

"Brothers, your military pay is tentatively set at one tael and a half silver per month!" Zhu Pingan said to everyone.

"Oh my god, one tael and a half silver?!"

"There is a guy in our town who works in the yamen. He is very prestigious. It only costs ten taels of silver a year!"

"I heard that soldiers in the general guards are only paid one or two taels of silver a month, but we actually have one and a half taels of silver a month?!"

"One and a half taels of silver, one and a half taels a month, three taels in two months, and 18 taels of silver in a year of three months and four months, dear mother, 18 taels of silver is enough to marry a woman." Mother-in-law!"

"What?! There are 18 taels a year?! There are so many, oh, why didn't I join the army sooner!"

"Hahaha, you're stupid, it's useless for you to be a soldier, and you won't meet our lord! Other soldiers don't have this kind of treatment!"

"Yes, yes"

When everyone heard that their monthly military pay was one or two and a half taels of silver, they were all shocked and stunned, their mouths opened as wide as the mouth of a box, and they couldn't believe their ears, swallowing saliva in one piece!
"My lord, you didn't lie to us, did you?! We were cast by bandits, and you actually paid us one and a half taels of silver a month?! It's like pie falling from the sky."

The people in the front row were bold enough to stammer and ask.

"Hehe, what did I lie to you for! Come on, open the box!" Zhu Pingan replied with a smile, and waved his hand to order to open the box.

Liu Dadao and others obeyed the order, stepped forward to open the box, and suddenly a silver light shone, dazzled everyone's eyes.

"My God, so much money."

"Silver, a lot of silver"

"Hey, why do I feel that the sun is shining golden today, like a piece of gold ingots?"

When everyone saw the three big boxes full of scattered silver, they all breathed rapidly and swallowed their saliva again and again.

"Okay, the payment of the salary will start now! Stand still, don't move around, don't worry, I will use the head of the item as a guarantee, and everyone will have a share. Everyone obeys the order of the officer! Okay, starting from the east, and going in order Come forward to collect your salary. I will collect your salary after the official registers you. "

Zhu Pingan shouted to everyone.

"Obey!" The crowd responded excitedly.

"Let's start." Zhu Pingan sat in front of the table and chair brought by Liu Dadao, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and shouted to the excited people.

"Hey, I'm the first one. I kowtowed to the lord. From today onwards, my 150 catties will be handed over to the lord." The first person in the easternmost row came forward with a smile, without saying a word All of a sudden, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Zhu Ping'an, and said sincerely.

"Get up, get up and talk." Zhu Pingan got up and left the chair, stepped forward to help him up, and asked with a gentle face, "What's your name, where do you live, and who are you in the family?"

"My lord, my name is Zhu Daniu. I live in Zhujiazhuang, Linhai County. There is only an old mother in my family."

Er Niu got up and replied.

Zhu Pingan recorded Zhu Daniu's situation in the book and nodded, "Hehe, we are still in the same family. Well, go and get your military pay. Train well, be loyal to the king and serve the country, and strive for more meritorious deeds. I will not be stingy with rewards. Enough for you to marry a daughter-in-law and let your mother hold a grandson as soon as possible."

"Thank you, my lord. I must listen to my lord's words, train hard, be loyal to the king and serve the country, make great contributions, and don't embarrass our old Zhu family." Zhu Daniu didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to encourage him, and expressed his attitude excitedly.

Zhu Pingan nodded with a smile, motioning for him to pay for the soldiers.After Zhu Daniu thanked him again, he received his military pay of one and a half taels of silver.

Everyone at the bottom of the slope saw that after Zhu Daniu registered at Zhu Ping'an's, he really received a tael of silver as a soldier's salary, and they all became more excited and excited.
"Next!" Zhu Pingan shouted.

The second person came forward to register and make a register, and then received the military salary, and then the third and fourth ones, an hour later, everyone received the reward. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they were full of longing for the future.
