Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 92

In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The leader of the Han army arrested the leader's house in the barracks of the seventh team, and a room full of people sat there.

The smell of sweat, feet, sour braids, and bad breath, as well as a few smoking pipes, made the whole room smoky.

But everyone sat down very seriously, because this was an emergency meeting held by Mrs. Jia who was recovering from his injuries.

Apart from Jia Liu and Er Yang, there were a total of 36 participants, 20 from the seventh team, and 16 from the ninth team.

The leaders of the two teams, Zu Yingyuan and Bao Guozhong, were there, as was General Liu De, the Foreign Affairs Commissioner of the Green Camp attached to the Seventh Team, and Zhang Shisan, the sentry officer of the Green Camp attached to the Ninth Team.

Liu De and Zhang Shisan each recorded a merit for rescuing Akeli Village, but they were not promoted.

The reason is that the body of the fan thief was not found on the mountain.

In this regard, Jia Liu, who was recuperating from his injuries, protested to Ma Shenling, who was in charge of military merit transfer and promotion, and explained that it was too dark at that time, and his brothers were able to rush up with the guns of the bandits. He got the victory, but after all, he repelled the bandits and successfully rescued the Akeli village, so there is no reason not to give credit to the meritorious soldiers.

"Even if there is a thief killed by me, it is impossible for our department to find the corpse of the thief in the middle of the night. Please learn from me, my lord!"

In order to fulfill his promise, Jia Liu reluctantly paid 300 taels to Ma Shenling, hoping that he could help more.

But this time Ma Shen received the money and didn't do anything. He sent someone to tell Jia Liu two days later that he could only write down the military achievements this time, and share them together next time.

Jia Liu couldn't tear himself apart with Ma Shenling, nor could he invite Lao Cui from the dispatch room to come forward. In desperation, in order to make up for the fellow soldiers of the two teams, he paid 15 taels out of his own pocket to show his affection.

15 taels is a lot.

Jia Liu used to earn only 33 taels a year for the ninth-rank Lan Lingchang, but now the sixth-rank forward school salary is 60 taels.Baitang'a's annual salary is 18 taels, while Su La has no salary, and only "subsidizes" one tael a month for dispatchers, which amounts to more than 14 taels a year.

On the side of the Green Camp, soldiers with horses receive 2 taels of silver a month and 24 taels a year.Horseless horses cost 1 tael and 5 yuan a month, and 18 taels a year.The guards, that is, the local Xun soldiers only have 1 tael a month and 12 taels a year.

There may be some errors in various places, but not too much.

It seems that the pay of the Green Battalion soldiers with horses is higher than that of Baitang'a, a reserve officer of the Eight Banners, and the same as those without horses, but Baitang'a also has a share of rice grains to receive, and their status as bannermen allows them to still be able to pay in the army every year. The Dutong Yamen received a share of "iron crops", so it was calculated to be several times more than that of the green battalion soldiers.

There is nothing here in Luying except monthly money. It is okay to support one person with the little salary, but it is difficult to support parents, wives and children.

What's more, Liu De said that in some places, the salaries of the battalion soldiers were deducted by the adults in the name of "friend deduction of silver", "peng horse silver", etc. Anyway, the money was deducted for various reasons, and the deducted part was usually It is [-]% of the monthly fee, and it can reach [-] to [-]% if it is too much.

In addition, the gunpowder and lead used for the training of the green battalion soldiers must be deducted from the soldier's salary. In this way, how much money can a battalion soldier really get in a year?

Therefore, in order to make a living, it has appeared that the green battalion soldiers have to do side jobs in addition to their errands, otherwise they would not be able to support their families at all.

Or if you are ordered to go out to fight and rely on military merits to get ahead, if you don't have military merits, you will go to the dead to steal the money from the dead, and if you don't have it, you will just rob it.

According to the normal development of history, in the end, the green battalion was replaced by the regiment training, the regiment training was replaced by the new army, and the new army everywhere completely revolutionized the Qing Dynasty in the name of restoring the great Han.

In other words, the 15 taels subsidized by Jia six people is equivalent to half a year's wages paid by the Qing court to these battalions, can it not be high?

Of course, the Fujian battalion soldiers got more before that, but that was what they deserved, because they risked beheading to help Mr. Jia successfully transfer the "stolen money".

If you pay, you should be rewarded.

The 200 taels per person of the death squads is also what they deserve, because they also stood up at the risk of death.

200 taels of hard work is not high.

Jia Liufen was very clear that doing things for him would be beneficial, and the more dangerous the things he did, the greater the benefits he would give.

As long as these people are willing to follow him, he will be willing to pay.

If there are people asking for a lot of money to beg a child, Jia Liu is a gang who is asking for a lot of money.

Money, what you earn is what you spend.

He Zhongtang can earn [-] million, but Jia Liu can still make less than [-] billion?
It's only a few days before the cash truck arrives.

The members of the "Death Squad" who explored the road more than half a month ago were also there. The others either participated in the private distribution of annual salary, or forced to kill (shoot) Manchurian soldiers, or followed the false leadership of the military.

Money has been distributed, people have been killed, meritorious service has been awarded, and Master Jia has also saved their lives (not being cannon fodder). It can be said that these 36 people can be called here because they are the backbone members of the gang headed by Jia Liu.

The eighth team had no personnel here, just because this team had been taken away to garrison Akeli Village, and it was considered to be out of Jia Liu's command, which made Captain Jia feel regretful.

Although Li Chengzong's great-grandfather Li Sixing descended to the Qing Dynasty, his great-grandfather Li Dingguo was a great national hero. Out of respect for this great hero, Jia Liu still wanted to bring his descendants.

However, he has no choice but to transfer the person away.

A four-legged table full of dirt, with a thick layer of "fat" scraped off with a knife, is considered Captain Jia's desk.

A candle was burning on the table, and the table was covered with spots from the candle.

Sitting in the east is naturally the team leader Jia, on the right is the team leader Zu, and on the left is team leader Bao.

Two green battalion officers, Liu and Zhang, were sitting next to Mr. Jia on a small bench, and sitting on the row of benches facing Mr. Jia was the backbone of the gang attending the meeting.

The host of the meeting was not Jia Liu, but Zu Yingyuan.

After everyone arrived, Zu Yingyuan told the information he got from the "inside line" that millions of taels of military pay will be shipped from Chongzhou tomorrow, and it will arrive in Minuo in four days at the latest, and then continue to be shipped to Muguomu camp. up.

"Now the bandits are robbing the Dao and attacking the grain, so what I mean is that it is better for us to take a share of it than to cheapen the bandits!"

After Zu Yingyuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Jia Liu.

"That's the thing, let's talk about your opinions, no matter what everyone thinks, talk about it, discuss it, whether it can be done, you have to listen to everyone."

Jia Liu smiled and nodded towards the backbone of his preliminary gang, took a sip of tea from a large bowl, and poohed two tea leaves on the ground casually.

The bowl was brought from home, and although there was a gap on the side, Jia Liu was reluctant to throw it away, because it was a rooster porcelain bowl from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

Hundreds of years later, it is worth a lot.

"I don't have any objections, you can do whatever your lord says!"

Liu De was the first to express his opinion. He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

His statement naturally also represents the Fujian battalion.

Wang Fu, Wang Si and others, on behalf of Sura, a flag member of the seventh team, stated that as long as the action plan is well formulated and the stolen money can be transferred quickly and realized immediately, they have no objection.

Anyway, one vote has been done.

Anyway, are there any thieves here? I'm afraid of being hanged.

The Ninth team was silent, and no one spoke.

It is understandable that this is probably the first time the members of the Ninth Team have heard of such a rebellious and daring thing.

"Old Bao, do you want to do it, you should say something!"

Seeing that Bao Guozhong was silent, Zu Yingyuan was a little anxious.

"I"

Bao Guozhong wanted to say something, but didn't continue.

Jia Liu nodded slightly and encouraged: "Guozhong, since I have brought you here, it shows that I trust you. To put it nicely, it is me, Jia Dongge, who wants to make everyone rich together; to put it bluntly, it is me, Jia Dongge. Dong Ge led everyone back with their heads pinned to their trouser belts, so if you have any ideas, feel free to speak up, don't worry about it."

"This"

Bao Guozhong hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his thoughts. He said, "My lord, with so much money, I'm afraid that my brothers will not be able to enjoy it."

Jia Liu asked, "Why do you think brothers are not blessed?"

"My lord, if something happens, the higher ups will take our heads off."

The one who spoke was Zhang Shisan, the commander of the Green Battalion of the Ninth Team and the head of the post.

Bao Guozhong didn't say a word, obviously thinking the same way.

"As long as our methods are clean, who the hell."

Jia Liu raised his hand to signal Zu Yingyuan not to speak, looked at Zhang and Bao, asked with a smile, "Who is up there?"

Zhang Shisan was stunned: "My lord, of course I am an official, an official."

Jia Liu was thoughtful, tapped the table with his index finger, and said suddenly: "How about this, after you get it, the money will be used to buy officials for everyone, what do you think?"
