New Wagang

Chapter 70 Laying the Foundation
Zhai Rang returned to the mountain with food and grass.

Ling Jing, Zhang Dabao and Bing Yuanzhen also came back.

Xu Shiji, Wang Qing, Duan Da and others were the last ones to go back to the mountain, and they had the most abundant harvest, but they were also shocked when they saw more than 600 horses and more than 6000 pieces of armor on the mountain.

After all, this is what is most needed now!
My brother has such a good eye!

Xu Shiji looked at Ling Jing with bright eyes, this person's talent is probably not inferior to mine!

Among the many good news, Yuwenba was still slightly disappointed, that is, Luo Shixin and Xu Shiji didn't get it. He sent people to ask all over the coast, but there was no such person named Luo Shixin.

Huh?correct!

Yu Wenba suddenly patted himself on the forehead. This Luo Shixin was an orphan who was born in Licheng, Qizhou. Believe in such a high-end name?
It is very likely that this name was taken off by someone before he joined the army!

Well, little friend Luo Shixin, then Uncle Yuwen will wait for you for another two years, but you can't break the appointment, hehe.

I rely on!

I don't know if the current Luo Shixin suddenly felt that the back of the old paper was swollen and chilly. Could it be that bastard who was thinking about me?

Mud horse! !

The cottage rested for a day, but the kitchen was outside, because the rest was to welcome the two thousand brothers who went up the mountain and celebrate the victory. Naturally, there was a banquet for the celebration, so the kitchen was not only not resting, but even busier.

Fortunately, there are many brothers' families on the mountain now, and everyone helped, and the celebration banquet was held in an orderly manner.

Ling Jing didn't bring enough money when he went down the mountain, so the first thing he did before the banquet started was to make up the ten guan allowance for each person, and then he calculated the money and distributed it to everyone. Duan Da was done. After all this, he glanced at Yuwenba, with a hint of hesitation on his brows.

Do you really want to say it?
Since then, the share money has been canceled and changed to monthly money. Will the brothers in the cottage agree?

Yu Wenba saw Duan Da's hesitation, and immediately nodded firmly to Duan Da.

This money must be cancelled, otherwise it will always be a copycat thieves model, and a formal army will never be established. You have heard that every time an army fights, it has to withdraw [-]% from the spoils of war For the sergeants?
That's too nondescript!
Maybe, but that's just an added bonus but not a requirement!
The reason why the money was given back then was that the situation forced it to do so. Now that a regular army is to be established, reforms are naturally necessary.

As for Duan Da's worries, Yu Wenba was very relieved.

In the past, there were few people, and [-]% of the money can really be said to be a lot of income, but now there are more people in the cottage, and everyone understands in their hearts that they can't share much, and what's more, the money Only if you have fought a battle, you must have won the battle.

As for the monthly money, it means that regardless of whether there is a war or not, there is money to be paid every month. Although it is a little less than the share money, it is stable. If it accumulates, it may be more than the share money, so Yuwenba I believe everyone should be able to figure it out.

Another point is one of the reasons why the share money must be changed to monthly money, that is two words:
Stablize!

Money is a kind of temptation, it is always teasing the hearts of the soldiers, wanting to fight, looking forward to fighting, in other words, it can also be called a factor of instability. , the wars are all about attacking the rich households in the cottage, which is okay, but in the future there will be more and more people, and the targets of war are not towns or cities. If there is such an unstable factor in everyone's heart, this mob is Isn't there no difference?
Without cohesion, how can there be combat effectiveness?
How can you attack the city and seize the pond?

So if you don't kill this potentially unstable factor, trouble will happen sooner or later.

And the monthly money is available every month, which stabilizes the morale of the army in this respect. The key is that the share of the monthly money is a bit higher than the imperial court's listed money, so Yuwenba believes that once the monthly money is released, not only the soldiers will not It will be uncomfortable but will be more welcome.

For the cottage and the sergeant, this is a win-win situation!
Sure enough, when Duan Da talked about the change of the monthly payment, after a short shock at first, he gradually figured it out. In fact, the soldiers also had their own thoughts in their hearts, that is, the village owner is really a son If we don't give it, we can't help it. After all, apart from here and other places, don't talk about this kind of money or that kind of money, I'm afraid that even if we die, we won't see a cent.

What's more, this month's money is more than the sergeant of the imperial court.

Seeing that the sergeants quickly accepted the monthly payment, Duan Da also heaved a long sigh of relief, glanced at Yuwenba, and said in his heart:

Brother, why are you so sure you can do it?

Yuwenba signaled Duan Da to sit down, then turned his gaze to Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji stood up and bowed his hands to Yuwenbalue as a gesture of command, then turned his head and glanced at everyone, where those eyes passed, these soldiers were all killed The 19-year-old boy's heart immediately tightened when he saw it.

Yuwenba was also secretly amazed at Xu Shiji's change. Since returning to the mountain this time, he can clearly feel that Xu Shiji's 19-year-old heart with a hint of arrogance has changed, becoming more mature and resolute up.

Presumably, this trip to Bianshui in Xingyang allowed him to get in touch with this era more extensively, and his eyes and insights were no longer limited to the one-third-acre land in Weicheng, East County.

You have finally grown up, my great military advisor!

Yuwenba couldn't help applauding Xu Shiji secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Ling Jing who was at the side, but he saw Ling Jing was staring at Xu Shiji with a trace of surprise in his eyes, thinking that he was in the recruit training that day. The scene when I was talking with this great talent from Dongjun on the field, this is a scholar who is as gentle as jade and himself.

Although Xu Shiji at that time was more energetic than himself, it was not like today's feeling that he had been tempered again. A sense of awe!
Ling Jing's reaction was very joyful in Yuwenba's eyes. It can be seen that Ling Jing has secretly compared Xu Shiji to his goal, and the unyielding look in his eyes is fully revealed. Well, be motivated!
As long as you, Ling Jing, have the heart, I, Yuwenba, will never give you a chance like that Dou Jiande, who waits for you to defect to him for five years!

In fact, Ling Jing finally became Dou Jiande's think tank after Gao Shida was killed in 616.

Yuwenba also doesn't believe that Dou Jiande didn't give Ling Jing a chance, because after all, Dou Jiande admired Ling Jing very much, so it can only be a possibility. After dormant under Dou Jiande for five years, Gao Shida finally showed his prominence after being killed by Yang Yichen.

But you are different today. I, Yuwenba, will not wait five years to give you a chance. Changhe County, you have already shown me your genius spirit, but I don’t know when you will finally grow up. I just hope you don't make me wait five years too.

I hope that after this battle in Wagang, you can also have the eyes that Xu Shiji has today!
"From now on, all the heads of the village will be called chiefs. The chiefs who go up the mountain or who are promoted from you will not be distinguished from the previous chiefs. They will only sit in a chair in the Juyi hall according to the time."

In the future, there will be more heroes going up the mountain. If the seats are rearranged every time one goes up the mountain, not only the sergeants will be confused, but some of them will also be tired. Brother is the best way. As for who is older and who is younger among the leaders, Different people have different opinions on this, they are all open-minded men, I believe that as long as each of them knows what is in their hearts, it will be fine.

The sergeants couldn't help talking softly for a while, and they caught a piece of information, that is, it was possible for them to finally enter the Juyi Hall and sit in a chair!
