Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 412 Heavy Pay
Li Xiuyuan held the man's head in his hand, blood was still dripping from the broken neck, and as the headless corpse fell to the ground, the blood flowed all over the ground, and everyone who saw it was horrified.

The son of the dignified Master Li, the young owner of the Shunfeng Bodyguard Agency, has such terrifying martial arts.

From the fight to the removal of the head, it only takes a few breaths.

A burly and strong man competed with the young master's family, but he couldn't move by one move.

Laymen watch the fun, experts watch the way, here are all bodyguards from the bodyguard, everyone has martial arts skills, even if they don't enter the bodyguard, they will learn some fist weapons from the bodyguard.

Knowing martial arts, one naturally understands how powerful Li Xiuyuan's ability to pick people's heads is in this move.

"My son is brave." Li Dafu was worried that his precious son would be injured.

If he didn't know that his son had learned martial arts for more than ten years, he had some confidence in his heart, otherwise, how could he allow these rough people to compete with his son.

Seeing this scene, he was shocked but also a little joyful. As for that man, he was dead if he died. If he didn't die, could it be that his son was going to die?
There are so many bodyguards in the Li family, and almost every day someone dies in the bodyguards. He doesn't care about the life and death of a few bodyguards.

"This person is not good at learning and tried to challenge me. Now I have decapitated him. I don't know who else dares to stand up? He wants to make money but doesn't want to work. That's how he ends up."

Li Xiuyuan dropped the head in his hand and landed it in front of these thousands of people, then shouted in a deep voice.

In the audience, thousands of people were silent at the moment, not daring to speak.

"You, weren't you eager to try before? Why, dare to stand up and earn this 1000 taels of silver?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly pointed at a man and said.

The man's eyes dodged, he lowered his head and dared not face it.

He is not stupid, with the young master's martial arts skills, if he dares to go out, he will be decapitated.

Li Xiuyuan pointed at another person and said, "What about you? Didn't you want to join the army, don't you? Now I give you two choices, either get out of my Li family's bodyguard agency and hide under a woman's skirt, or pick up a knife and follow me Li Xiuyuan is fighting for wealth, of course, if you want to get money but don’t want to work, then stand up and compete with me, if you win, you will get money, if you lose, your head will fall to the ground.”

The man who was pointed at blushed, but he didn't know how to deal with the situation, so he knelt down and said, "The little one is willing to join the army and work for the young master."

"Very good, he is a man who dares to kill a thief with a knife." Li Xiuyuan nodded in appreciation.

"Isn't it just to join the army? The Young Master's family treats me well, and I am willing to follow the Young Master's family." Another man shouted loudly, and immediately knelt down.

"I'm willing too. Running a dart is risking your life, and joining the army is risking your life. Why don't you try to keep your wife safe?" Another person knelt down.

"I would also like to join the army." One after another, people knelt down.

In just a short time, 2000 people knelt down to show their loyalty, and when there were too many people, many vacillating people knelt down, and a large number of thousands of good people knelt down in the audience.

Li Xiuyuan shouted: "Very good, you are willing to sacrifice your life for my Li family, and my Li family will not treat you badly. To be my Li family's army, you will be paid two taels a month when there is no war, and five taels a month when you are in war. You will be rewarded for killing the enemy." , if unfortunately died on the battlefield, my Li family will pay for the burial, and there will be 20 taels of maintenance, and a monthly food donation, and all the other things will be taken by me.”

The Li family is rich, and these people are also men who know martial arts, have gone through darts, and have seen blood. If you want to recruit them to join the army, it is not enough just to intimidate them, and you need to reward them heavily.

Only a brave man is seriously injured.

The monthly fee is so high, and the compensation fee after the death in battle is so high, even if it is captured, it will be your own. How can these poor men not be moved?

"Joining the army is only two taels a month? Even the army of the imperial court is only five or six taels of silver a year, and it may not be paid out."

"If there is a war, one month will be worth a year's salary of the imperial court. Well, this young master's spending is quite generous. We only have money when we are in darts. Grandma, joining the army can make a lot more money than walking in the darts."

"Even if you die in battle, you can get 20 taels of compensation. This, this is too much."

Everyone has an account in their hearts, and when they hear the price, they are immediately moved.

"My son's mouth is too loose, so he just said the monthly salary, and he still said it is so high, how can this be done." Li Dafu stomped his feet in heartache.

It is enough to pay according to the monthly salary of the imperial court, so why be so generous, and raise the monthly salary so high all of a sudden, what kind of pension is there, and a high price of 20 taels is actually quoted.

Well, if 1 people were killed or injured in a battle, wouldn't it be 20 taels of silver?

Even if the Li family has money, they can't afford such a toss.

Li Xiuyuan felt that the price he quoted was not high, it could only be regarded as more conscientious.

Because the monthly salary of soldiers in the Song Dynasty was too low, and they often deducted their salaries, so many soldiers were poor enough to sell weapons, serve as guards for others, work as thugs, and make money from side jobs. It is eating empty pay, selling military funds, and so on.

And this didn't surprise Li Xiuyuan, what surprised him was that if the soldiers of the imperial court were able to get their real salary and the monthly money was paid in full, they would be so happy that they couldn't sleep.

Can you be so happy that you can't sleep with this little money?
Serving one's life for the imperial court is too lowly. You must know that soldiers carry their heads to defend their homes and the country. You can't expect all soldiers to have a heart of loyalty and patriotism. Even if you are loyal and patriotic, you have to eat to support your family, right?
Li Xiuyuan wants to change this situation, increase his salary, and military pay is the simplest and most effective way.

As long as his treatment by Li Jiajun spreads, all the men who dare to sacrifice their lives will go here?In the future, even if other people want to recruit soldiers and horses, they will be forced to raise the monthly payment, otherwise no one will care about you.

In this way, the soldiers of the world will have a better life.

Sure enough, when he said this, those men who were still hesitating knelt down in unison, and almost all of the more than 7000 people knelt down to show their loyalty.

"The young master's family is so benevolent and righteous, the young one is not a mother-in-law. From now on, the young one's life belongs to the young master's family."

"The Li family treats me so respectfully, how dare they refuse to do their best?"

These people were all excited, wishing they could eat this bowl of rice right away, regardless of whether they joined the army or not, there was nothing to be picky about with this monthly money.

"Very good, you knelt down, kowtowed your head, and gave your life for me, Li Xiuyuan. From now on, you are no longer bodyguards, nor farmers, thieves, robbers, and rogues. They are all my Li Jiajun. Don't think that I I was just talking big before, but I, Li Xiuyuan, did what I said. This guy just lost the competition with me and died in my hands. I think he died in battle. Han Meng, find someone to buy a coffin, put his body in place, and send I will go to his hometown, and the 20 taels of pension will also be sent to him."

Li Xiuyuan pointed at the corpse on the ground and shouted.

Although this method of showing off was very common in the previous life, but here, it is the best way to contain people's hearts.

Sure enough, many people showed excitement and some envy in their eyes, and they seemed to be more determined to be the Li Jiajun.

In fact, these people do not have much choice.

Now that the imperial court is corrupt, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, ordinary people can hardly eat enough, the bodyguard bureau of the Li family supports them and gives them a pretty good way out, where can they go if they leave the bodyguard bureau?

If there is a way out, these men will not hold their heads up and join the escort company as escort masters.

Therefore, it is the easiest thing to organize these people into an army.

Li Xiuyuan had thought of this in his early arrangements, otherwise, why would he open an escort agency, he might as well open a farm, which can support more people.

After some more training, he asked these men to go back and rest first. If they leave now, feel free to leave, and the Li family will not stop them.

He didn't want to keep some people who were vacillating. Those who didn't want to work hard would only add to the chaos if they stayed in the army. It's better to let them go.

After returning on horseback, Li Xiuyuan said, "Housekeeper, please send dozens of accountants to register these people tomorrow, and go to the warehouse to withdraw 2 taels of silver. The money I put down is left here as a reward, and later I will select battalion commanders, leaders like Dutong, and I need reward money."

"Yes, young master." Li Butler replied, but looked at Li Dafu again.

Li Dafu waved his chubby hand and said: "My son's words are my words, just do it."

Butler Li responded and left quickly.

"My son, so much money has been thrown away before there is a war. If there is a war, the Li family may not be able to support it with this little wealth."

Li Dafu said with some distress: "It's all the savings of several generations. If it's all spent, how can I explain to my ancestors?"

"Father, the Li family's family business is here, and they earn a lot of money every year. They are already considered wealthy, and they are many times better than their ancestors. I believe they are worthy of their ancestors. Corruption, but no matter how much money is left, it is nothing more than stones piled up in the warehouse, and it is easy to attract people's attention. Right now, bandits and bandits are everywhere. What if the Li family doesn't have an army in their hands? Could it be that my father has forgotten County Magistrate Liu? What about it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Magistrate Liu?
Hearing this, Li Dafu's mouth twitched: "My son is right, it is not enough to have money, but to have strength, otherwise, if we meet any corrupt officials, our family's money will not be harmed by those corrupt officials." Well, since my son has made up his mind to recruit the brave men of the country, to defend the family and the country, how can I stop it as a father, my son just do it."

"With father's words, the child will have confidence." Li Xiuyuan said.

"For this matter, the father depends on you, but there is one thing that you have to depend on as the father."

Li Dafu said, "If you don't comply with this matter, my father will never let you lead troops to fight."

"Please tell my father." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Dafu said: "Before you leave Guobei County, you must let the people around you conceive."

Li Xiuyuan understood as soon as he heard it, it was because his father was worried that he would never come back, so he saved the seeds in advance.

This is a common thing in ancient people's homes.

Even when some death row inmates are about to be beheaded, their family members will bring women to let the death row inmates have a good time, so as to save seeds for the family, so that there will be no future generations. As for whether they can conceive or not, it depends on God's will.

"Well, let's try our best on this matter." Li Xiuyuan said bravely, this matter is not something he can decide.
