Daming kill

Chapter 207 Chapter [-]
Although he didn't have the opportunity to drink wedding wine and watch the excitement, and he had to strengthen his guard when others were relaxing, Luo Xiaoliu, who was stationed at Fugan Pass in Qizhou, was not unhappy at all.

Secretly touching the heavy brand-new copper coins in his pocket, Luo Xiaoliu's head under the evening light was full of satisfaction and longing.

Tomorrow it was his turn to rest during the day, so he decided not to catch up on sleep and went to the streets of the city.

With money in his pocket, he was full of confidence.

Of course, he should not be able to spend the money at all, because there is no one doing business in Qizhou City at all, and the war has completely withered the business in this city.

However, Luo Xiaoliu didn't mind.If there is a place to spend, he will not spend it.

He made up his mind, and when he returned to Fuchi, he would go to the security camp to ask if he had enough money to buy a bar of soap.If it's not enough, half a piece will do.

He longed for it for a long time!

Every time he smells the unique smell of soap, he will be fascinated.

But the soap would only be distributed to officers above the company commander or those who made great military achievements. He couldn't afford to wait, and he didn't know if he could wait.

Wars are always cruel. If the squad leader hadn't died in battle because he was transferred to perform the most difficult and dangerous mission when he captured Qizhou, he wouldn't be the squad leader.

Thinking of this, he widened his eyes and looked carefully into the distance.

The payment of salaries to his subordinates is a new and important measure taken by Li Ping after careful consideration.

Officers and security battalion supervisors mainly use silver, while soldiers and ordinary office workers mainly use copper coins.

And it is planned to pay out every month in the future, that is, to implement a monthly salary.

Although the initial monthly salary is not high at all, and there are more officers and fewer soldiers, the level difference is very obvious, and even the money paid by the lowest-ranking soldiers and the most junior handymen is basically symbolic, but the significance is extremely significant.

Human nature is greedy.

It’s not impossible to have nothing, especially in this era when soldiers are paid, it is still a deep-rooted concept. This cannot be replaced by good food and good clothes.

There may not be many, but there must be.

Paying wages does not mean giving up the education-oriented route. Education must and will always come first.

But as the stall grows, we must also see that personal needs and selfish desires are inevitably increasing dramatically.In an era of lack of ideals, the limitation of the role of education must be recognized and recognized.

Continuing to implement material rewards and provide job convenience is of course an option. Many peasant armies have been adopting this method, but it is by no means a long-term solution.

It is too easy to breed serious job corruption and cause serious management crisis.

Using salary to solve personal desires, using salary to take back job privileges, using salary to highlight value, and using salary to motivate striving for excellence still have great and realistic significance in the current era, especially in the security camp. Establish the concept of more pay for more work.

Blindfolded and acting like an ostrich and believing that human nature is inherently good is not acceptable, and accidents will happen.

I didn't do it before because I really lacked money.

But after the garrison of Fuchi and the capture of Qizhou, everything was different. The capture and the amount of people obtained are already an open secret.

Even if Li Ping does not promote payment, he must express it to his subordinates.

Otherwise, with so much money, they would continue to hold it all in their hands and not allow their subordinates to get some profit.

After all, there are always a small number of people with lofty ideals, a selfless overall view and far-reaching vision, and the majority are all living beings.

Therefore, it is better to use it to plan for a rainy day.

The copper mines in Fuchi can provide a sufficient source of copper coins, while the rich seizures in Qizhou can provide enough silver coins.

Li Ping's move really ignited everyone, everyone was beaming and full of compliments, even Ma Yong showed his flattery.

But the problem is not without it.

The total amount of money sent out is not a small amount. If the money is kept in hand, it can do many great things.

Moreover, a lot of money given to officers, soldiers and security camps will not be spent at all, and even most of the money spent will only be circulated internally, which is actually a waste in disguise.

At the same time, metal currency is heavy and inconvenient to carry, and it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers.

That's why Li Ping wanted to make paper military tickets, so that the security battalions sold to officers and soldiers had to be purchased with military tickets, so that military tickets could be circulated internally, so as to partially or even mostly replace metal currency.

In this way, Li Ping can once again concentrate a large amount of metal currency in his hands to do big things.

But this idea, he is not in a hurry at the moment.

It is not appropriate to issue paper military tickets that no one has seen before for the first time. Everything has to be done step by step. He plans to start gradually after a while.

Moreover, paper military tickets must gradually establish credit by themselves, instead of relying on orders to forcibly establish credit, and it will never completely replace metal currency. It can only have a parallel relationship with metal currency in the future.

The way of economy should not be taken for granted, let alone implemented subjectively.

It is impossible for Luo Xiaoliu to understand Li Ping's thoughts, he only knows that he is very happy and his heart is full of passion.

Although Luo Xiaoliu's monthly salary as a monitor is actually not high at all, but because the first payment was made to reflect the difference between new and old staff, it was repaid in the past, and Luo Xiaoliu also got a small bag full of it. copper coins, and they are all new copper coins of the best quality.

He is very satisfied.

Although dusk made the distant scenery difficult to distinguish, Luo Xiaoliu felt that he should make good use of this last light.

Especially since he has just been promoted from deputy squad leader to squad leader, he has to be responsible.

Not far away, a young soldier had been secretly observing Luo Xiaoliu. He didn't move over with a spear until Luo Xiaoliu put down his hand touching the money for a while, but just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but hiccupped first.

A strong smell unique to fatty meat gushes out immediately.

They had just finished dinner and changed jobs, and it was the time when the stomach smell was the biggest.

Luo Xiaoliu complained while covering his nose: "Yu Changsheng, you have been in the army for three months, why do you still eat every meal like a starving ghost, and you are not afraid of starving to death."

"Hey! Squad leader, we used to work hard. The fuller we eat, the more energetic we are. We are not afraid of being full. If you eat something and don't fill up, you always feel sorry for your stomach." The young soldier named Yu Changsheng said a little embarrassed .

"What! Are you still worried about the last meal and the next meal? You have gained almost ten catties. Except for training needs, which meal is worse than you. Remember, you are now the deputy of the squad, so there is a big picture. "Luo Xiaoliu said helplessly while continuing to observe the distance.

Luo Xiaoliu's platoon was a spear platoon, and more than half of the soldiers in the platoon came from trackers on the Yangtze River.

The reason why there is such a concentrated group is that the trackers generally have excellent arm strength and grip endurance.

This is true.

In just three months of training, many of the recruits who were born as trackers surpassed Luo Xiaoliu, the former spearman of the Peasant Army, in using spears.

This put Luo Xiaoliu under a lot of pressure.

But at the same time, these recruits from the trackers also have an amazing appetite, and they are not picky eaters at all, no matter what meal they eat, they will eat it to death.

It even greatly surpassed the other platoon of the company, which is mainly recruits, and the knife and hand platoon, which is mainly miners, not to mention the other two platoons with more veterans.

As a result, their platoon was eventually dubbed the rice bucket platoon by Quanlian.

This made Luo Xiaoliu and all the backbones in the platoon, including the platoon leader, very embarrassed.

"Fatty meat is so delicious! It's not something you can eat often. Besides, Director Hu didn't marry a wife, so he wouldn't add so much fat." The new class deputy Yu Changsheng didn't show the consciousness he should have at all. Said side began to aftertaste.

Luo Xiaoliu was speechless.

It hasn't been long before he can often eat greasy meat, how can he not like to eat fatty meat.

But he is the squad leader, and he thinks he has some status, and then he still has such an indecent joke in the platoon.

He can only be reserved, he doesn't want to be laughed at.

"Squad leader, I heard that each of us will be able to give away another pair of shoes in a few days. Is this true?" Yu Changsheng chose to ignore Luo Xiaoliu's entanglement and directly cut into the purpose of his coming.

Luo Xiaoliu temporarily withdrew his far-sighted gaze, hesitated for a while, and said: "It should be about the same. The platoon leader said so, and the company commander also said so. This time a lot of things were seized, and the security battalion is working overtime to catch up. It is said to ensure that everyone in our army can have a spare set of clothes and shoes in addition to what they are wearing."

"The company commander also said that! Then it must be true. And clothes? My God, why are they so beautiful? I can't even think about it. The most precious things we stretch are shoes. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I used to I haven't worn shoes much..." Yu Changsheng grinned happily.

Although she was actually very beautiful in her heart, Luo Xiaoliu still pretended to be serious and said: "Don't patronize beauty, stand guard and watch carefully, remember that you are not an ordinary soldier now. The bandit army has obviously become active these days, don't let them Steal us again."

After finishing speaking, Luo Xiaoliu deliberately observed the distance again seriously.

"That can't be done. Our hardships in the past few months are not for nothing. It's more painful than our stretching. If the thieves dare to come, they will never come back." Yu Changsheng said proudly, and accompanied Luo Xiaoliu pretending to go Take a quick look from a distance.

But after only watching for a short while, Yu Changsheng couldn't pretend anymore, so he stretched his legs and ran away.

Luo Xiaoliu looked at Yu Changsheng, who was whispering with a few recruits not far away, just smiled and didn't interfere.

He sometimes has to give the class deputy's little face.

Moreover, their post in the first half of the night is not a fixed post, but also at the city gate, so they can chat appropriately and walk back and forth in a fixed area without affecting the security.

Sure enough, the few recruits who had joined Chang Sheng's side soon burst into smiles, which attracted the attention of other soldiers, but they didn't dare to join them because of the monitor Luo Xiaoliu.

At this time, the shadow of a group of cavalry appeared in the distance, and all the soldiers at the city gate immediately stopped doing their jobs, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the past.

Soon, the team of cavalry came to the gate of the city in a neat queue.

Unique uniforms and weapons, many familiar faces, they are undoubtedly cavalry platoons who went out for field training during the day, and the soldiers who were on guard at the city gate finally relaxed one by one at this time.

After the Battle of Qizhou, Li Ping used the newly captured horses to form another cavalry company, making the cavalry battalion finally reach three companies.

Currently, two companies of the cavalry battalion are deployed in Fuchi and one company is deployed in Qizhou.The commander of the cavalry company deployed in Qizhou is Yuan Ye. Every day, he asks a platoon to go outside for field training and scouting along the way. He leaves early and returns late, which is very regular.

Therefore, the infantry who guard the Fugan Pass are also very familiar with these cavalry.

Looking at the disheveled cavalrymen filing in under the city wall, Luo Xiaoliu was both envious and sympathetic.

He also signed up to join, but regrettably failed because of his poor riding skills.

At present, as far as Luo Xiaoliu knows, these cavalry are the only troops that have never had a good rest. They practice every day besides training.Horses can rest, but humans cannot. Even if they sleep, they must sleep with their horses.

Therefore, Luo Xiaoliu is also very clear that although it looks happy, the situation should not be optimistic, and there is a lot of pressure.

The vigilance of their infantry has been strengthening these days, and there is very little rest time, but I don't know where the next battle will happen?What will it be like?
