Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 897
"Bah!"

The two slaps made a loud sound, and the palms touched the flesh, which made people's flesh hurt when they heard it.

"emperor!"

Asiha, Shuanzhu and others were shocked by this scene, and the officers and soldiers present were even more shocked, and the shock to their hearts and vision was instantly full.

The dignified emperor slapped himself because of poor food for officers and soldiers. Looking at China's thousands of years of history, who else is there besides the Great Restoration Emperor?
Who is the emperor doing this for?

The mud covered the trouser legs, and the sweat drenched the back of the clothes.
The beautiful song slowly sounded in Sakda Athha's ears, making his eyes wet involuntarily.

The emperor, he is too great.

The wisest choice I have made in my life is to follow the emperor closely
"I am the emperor, my brothers can't eat meat, and I am responsible. I sincerely apologize to my brothers here, and I will do my best to improve the food for my brothers. Even though the imperial court is newly established, there are many internal and external enemies, and the people's livelihood is dying. Supplies are tight."

Jia Liu, who is immersed in guilt, does not find excuses for breach of responsibility, this is not his style.

His style is to correct when he knows his mistakes, and to solve problems when he has problems.

Therefore, in front of thousands of officers and soldiers of the first regiment, he stated that even if there are various force majeure factors, it is currently impossible to guarantee that the officers and soldiers will be provided with food according to the regulations, but at least the brothers must have a meal of meat every two days.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lao Ah: "Asiha, you are in charge of the military department, can you tell me if you can do it!"

The pressure came to Lao Ah's side immediately, but Lao Ah was also wronged. He was in charge of the distribution of money, food, and materials. The problem was that the money, food, and materials had to be given to him by the household department first, so that he only had the share.

The household department didn't even get him a hair, and told him to use something to solve the problem of officers and soldiers' vegetable baskets.

Therefore, the emperor had to find someone from the household department to bear the burden. Whether it was beating or killing, the household department was responsible for it, and it had nothing to do with his military department.

But at this juncture, if his old man raises the issue of responsibility and argues with the emperor in front of the officers and soldiers, his 300 taels of silver will really be wasted.

There will be no ups and downs in history!

So he stepped forward resolutely, and said loudly, "Don't worry, your majesty, even if I risk my life, I will let the soldiers eat meat!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped back as if he was dead, so as not to block the camera lens of His Majesty the Emperor.

Accompanying the emperor to the First Army was a reporting team jointly composed of Frontline News and Daqing Daily.

The division of labor is clear.

Some were in charge of reporting on His Majesty the Emperor, some were in charge of reporting on officers and soldiers of the First Army, and some were in charge of reporting on observation groups from various provinces.

I heard that the Northern Expedition report team will be established soon, and the magnificent pictures of the Northern Expedition will be presented to the readers at the first time through the wonderful pens of the reporters accompanying the army, so that the readers can feel the necessity and justice of this great war personally. and hardship.

In terms of literature and art propaganda, the Restoration Court was not only at the forefront of the Qing Dynasty, but also at the forefront of the world.

at least a century ahead.

Shuan Zhu didn't know where the old man's confidence came from, so he looked at him with some sympathy: "There are more than 8 people in the four armies, even if they eat one meal of meat every two days, and each person eats half a catty, it will cost hundreds of thousands of catties a month." , where did you get it?"

I'm really worried about the old man, he knows the young master's temper best, if the old man doesn't agree with this matter, let it go, if he doesn't agree, he will definitely have no good results.

If it is serious, you will either go to Ningguta to grow potatoes, or you will retire early;

Old Ah's cheeks twitched: "The emperor said that the officers and soldiers of the first regiment should eat meat every two days, but he didn't say that all the troops were like this."

Having said that, Lao Ah still thinks that it is better not to be cunning and twisted, and it is better to work down-to-earth.

After thinking about it, I can only go back and discuss with Zheng Dajin, governor of Hubei, to see if we can mobilize all levels of government to take the lead in donating pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to the troops.

It is also okay to buy from the private sector at a high price, but you have to deal with the immediate barrier first.

He dared not send troops to rob him.

But even this is a temporary solution, not the root cause, because the gap is too big.

For the goodness of Lao Ah, Shuan Zhu tilted his head to give Lao Ah an idea: "There are fewer meat and more people, no matter how you do it, you can't fully guarantee it, unless the supply from other provinces can come up, but at least it's still safe." It will take a month, so it's better to stop the supply of meat and vegetables to my Ministry of Internal Affairs first."

"Ok?"

Lao Ah didn't understand the meaning, seeing that the emperor didn't pay attention, he hurriedly took out a bank note from his pocket and put it into Manager Yang's pocket calmly: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Manager!"

This is an economic exchange between colleagues, and has nothing to do with corruption and bribery, so Shuan Zhu accepts it with peace of mind.

Explain to Lao Ah.

Without it, the supply of meat and vegetables for the Young Master’s family is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot even guarantee the meat and vegetables for the Emperor’s family. Does it mean that other units cannot guarantee it, and the army will not be able to guarantee it even more.

It is really irresistible.

Shuan Zhu chuckled: "If Zhongtang can find a way to solve it, it means that Zhongtang has outstanding ability in handling affairs. It is understandable if he can't finish it, so he won't be punished for it."

"My lord is really the reincarnation of Crouching Dragon and Zhuge's resurrection!"

The old Aru was enlightened, and he understood the mystery immediately, and he admired Manager Yang very much.

The emperor is suffering, so he naturally understands the sufferings of the world and the difficulties of his courtiers.

Wonderful, very wonderful.

With a thought in his heart, he decided that he must get closer to the general manager in the future, so he turned around and asked if the general manager had a wife.
Jia Liu didn't know that the old man he was optimistic about wanted to form a party with his domestic slaves, and he would be friendly with the officers and soldiers there.

Or ask how you are doing in the army, or whether the training is hard, or ask how many people are in the family, how much land is planted, and how life is going.

It's not about showing off, nor buying people's hearts, but actually understanding the situation of frontline officers and soldiers.

He even sat cross-legged on the ground like the officers and soldiers, picked up a piece of dry biscuit, picked up a spoon to scoop himself a bowl of vegetable soup, and chatted with the officers and soldiers while eating.

There is no airs of the emperor at all.

Many officers and soldiers found that the trousers covered by the emperor's dragon robe were mended, and they were moved one by one.

After drinking half a bowl of vegetable soup and eating half a piece of cake, Jia Liu casually asked a soldier sitting beside him: "Have you paid this month's salary?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, let's go."

Jia Liu asked, "How much?"

The soldier said he sent two or three.

"Three or two?"

Jia Liu's expression froze again, and he raised his head and asked Wang Zheng, the leader of the regiment with a nervous face on the opposite side: "The regular soldiers I have appointed pay four or five dollars a month, how come it is only three or two in the hands of the brothers?"

"emperor,"

Wang Zheng hurriedly explained that according to past regulations, soldiers' salaries were paid twice at the beginning of the month and in the middle of the month.

At the beginning of the month, the military pay is paid, and the oil, rice and vegetables are paid in the middle of the month. The total is four or two five.

It's definitely not his belt that deducts military pay.

"This rule is not good. If you change it, it will be issued at the beginning of the month."

Jia Liu changed the century-old wage payment system on the spot, and then smiled and said to the surrounding officers and soldiers:

"Since I send you one, two, five, then you will fight me for three or five first, and when the one, two, or five comes into your hands, you will fight for me for one, two, or five."
