At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 51: Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality
  In addition to training troops in Xiang County, Xu Fan also began to recall the system of later generations, such as how officers and soldiers were equal, and officers were not allowed to eat small dishes. They also ate whatever the soldiers ate.

Establish a soldiers' association to allow soldiers to supervise officers and safeguard the direct interests of soldiers.

Therefore, the soldiers loved him and regarded him as their brother, obeying him and supporting him.

Ji Bu was extremely shocked by the military systems of the rebels, especially when a soldier reported an officer who refused to pay for something he bought. Not only did the officer double the price while being escorted by the supervisor, he was also beaten 10 times. stick.

Speaking of which, this has something to do with Xu Fan. The salary he paid for the prisoners of the Qin army was so high that the rebel soldiers began to be jealous of these prisoners of the Qin army, which led to the forced buying and selling incident.

The system of the rebels at this time was a bit like that of the Taiping Army. All seizures had to be turned over to the public treasury, and the expenses of the more than 20,000 rebels were collected from the public treasury.

The treatment of each person is divided into different levels according to the importance of his position. Soldiers and craftsmen are the first class. They can not only eat enough, but also eat meat. The old and the weak are second class. They also have three meals a day, and they have three meals a day. They could drink broth once every few days, and ordinary civilians were last in the queue, but they could also eat three meals a day (at this time, the rebels were not short of food, but had plenty of it.)
  At the same time, all members of the rebel army also have to work. The soldiers have to be trained, and the craftsmen make weapons and equipment. The civilians can only cut down trees and build various weapons and equipment under the guidance of the craftsmen.

The rebels' relatively fair distribution method, coupled with Xu Fan's practice of not being special, made everyone in the rebel army very satisfied with this system. However, Huang Hu and the others' high income broke these.

Ninety-nine percent of the rebel soldiers found that their income was not as good as that of their defeated generals. How could they be convinced?

Especially after Huang Hu and others received their first month's salary, they improved their food and ate better than the rebels. This made the rebels even more indignant.

So Ge Ying, the commander of the rebel army, was so angry that he took some pork from a meat stall in front of the supervisory soldiers subordinate to the supervisory army and said: "I am an officer of the rebel army. Let us get the meat money from our rebel army."

When the butcher boss saw that it was a rebel officer, he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only smile and nod.

But the inspectors on the side were angry. They were responsible for supervising the military discipline of the rebel officers. Ge Ying was not slapping them in the face.

"Ge Ying, what do you want to do? You have forgotten the military rule that you have to pay for things," the supervising soldier said with a cold face.

Ge Ying shouted: "Who said I didn't pay? Didn't I tell you that it would be recorded in the rebel account? He can follow me to the military camp to get it now!"

The butcher boss could only smile and say: "Master Jun, you go first, I will pay the bill when I have time."

Ge Ying was unreasonable and said: "You heard it, the boss agreed. I am not breaking military regulations. You can't control Naigong."

The supervisory soldier immediately got angry and said: "You are bullying people in the name of the rebels and discrediting the rebels. Besides, you are selling meat, why should the rebels pay for it?"

Ge Ying was unconvinced and said, "As a village chief, my salary is only 150 dan. What's wrong with eating a piece of meat?"

The inspecting soldier said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did the village commander have 150 shi of grain?"

Ge Ying sneered and said: "The defeated generals of the Qin army all have a salary of thousands of dan. I want 150 dan, which is not too much."

The inspecting soldiers who said this were speechless for a while, and at the same time they understood that Ge Ying did this out of resentment.

The supervising soldier began to comfort him: "If you are dissatisfied, you can explain it to the general, but you cannot use such a method that violates military discipline, and our rebel army is not short of this piece of meat." 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 indeed. It is the tallest in the world. When everyone in the world eats two meals a day, the rebels eat not only three meals a day, but also a meat dish every day, and a midnight snack at night.

This is not raising soldiers. Back then, the four princes could only raise soldiers. It can be said that ordinary small landowners do not have such high food standards. Therefore, the rebel army's current combat effectiveness is not too strong, but its morale is extremely high.

At the beginning, the senior leaders of the rebel army had earnestly advised Xu Fan not to be so rich and raise soldiers. No matter how much food and grass was consumed in this way, it would not be enough for the rebel army. The first emperor could not afford to raise such expensive soldiers.

This can't be said wrong. In this era, people can't even get enough to eat, let alone eating meat. People who can eat meat are at least scholar-bureaucrats. Isn't there a saying in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period that says, "Meat-eaters are contemptible" , failed to plan far.' It can also be heard from these words that eating meat is the right of the superior people in this era.

But Xu Fan said: "You know how much the lightest soldier in the rebel army weighed, 106 kilograms (equivalent to 53 kilograms in modern times). Can you imagine that this is the weight of a seven-foot man? This is no longer a human being, just a Skeleton, the reason why I let the rebel soldiers eat like this is to make them gain weight. A seven-foot man must weigh at least 240 pounds. Now I let them eat more just to let them recover. After their body recovers, they Only then will you have fighting strength.”

The rebels ate so well that the people in Xiang County were envious. Only then did the inspecting soldiers realize that Ge Ying was not really short of this piece of meat.

Ge Ying said with a strange tone, "There are still people in the world who are not short of meat. Oh, they are not short of meat in the prison camp. Now their fragrance has spread to our military camp."

After speaking, Ge Ying ignored the inspecting soldiers and returned to the military camp.

The inspecting soldier had no choice but to tell Xu Fan what happened.

Xu Fan felt helpless after hearing this. He gave the prisoners such high treatment because he wanted the Qin prisoners to help the rebel soldiers wholeheartedly to improve their combat effectiveness, but he did not expect that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the rebel officers.

Xu Fan immediately came to the rebel camp and summoned all the officers above the rebel camp commander.

Tell all the officers what Ge Ying did today.

Then he looked at Ge Ying and said, "Are you dissatisfied with the salary of the Qin Army instructors?"

Ge Ying looked at Xu Fan and said unconvinced: "Yes, they are losers, why should they live better than us?"

However, Xu Fan could understand their dissatisfaction from the perspective of Ge Ying and other rebel officers. It was their task to train soldiers, but now these instructors have taken away their tasks, and these people even treat them as soldiers. They trained together, and what made them angry was that their subordinates were defeated, but they endured it in order to learn their skills. However, Xu Fan created some soldier's meeting and restricted the officers' full power. The rebel officers felt that they were being oppressed from top to bottom, and they couldn't even survive. Not as good as ordinary soldiers.

When they learned that the prisoners of the Qin army were treated extremely high, they completely ignited the anger of these officers.

Xu Fan said: "We rebels want to learn the skills of the Qin Army, so naturally we have to pay this price. We don't give enough money and food. We really think that the Qin Army will teach us wholeheartedly. You have to work for three years in vain to learn a craft. You really want to If you are not convinced, just work hard to learn your skills and learn these military skills. This is what a qualified rebel officer should do."

Then he looked at Ge Ying and said: "Ge Ying violated military law and was punished with 10 military sticks. After the patrol is finished, you take this reckless man to apologize to the butcher boss and pay him double the money."

The supervisor said: "No."
