Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Even Wang Chen didn't have the face to say how much he had spent to pursue love after Xiao Letian's questioning. However, the Dragon Guards who were on good terms with him had confidently declared that he had spent at least two thousand silver coins.

Awesome, truly awesome! Two thousand silver coins, a salary of ten years for a blue-collar worker!

"Chief, we've been trying to persuade him to leave earlier, could it be that he has met a golden lady? "I've spent too much money …" Before the Dragon Guards finished speaking, Wang Chen didn't like to listen to them.

"What are you saying? She didn't ask me for money, so I gave it to her voluntarily …" Ever since I left Europe, I've been at war with no fixed address. Even if she wanted to ask me for money, she wouldn't be able to deliver a letter, right? "

"Only her address is fixed, so I am the only one who can contact her!"

"I didn't give her all my money. I have seen too much of the situation in the Borneo, where the Chinese live mixed together with the mountain barbarians. Huang Wanxia is in charge of education.

"What are my gifts? "These are all things that she will be able to use in her future career. There are animal and plant specimens, books in various languages, landscape postcards …"

"Even if it's a precious stone from the Sri Lanka, I bought one of each kind. I also bought some raw materials, which were used to build a school for her to use as a specimen!"

"She is not a gold digger! I'm not a lecherous fool! "

Aiyo! This time, Xiao Letian had to respect him, he did not expect that picking up girls would result in him taking on such a noble cause, this fellow was really considerate!

It could be imagined that every time Second Lieutenant Wang Chen went to a city, he would use all of his holidays to choose a mailing gift. There were history books, human geography, postcards with local landscapes, all sorts of science books with pictures, and even exotic crafts.

These exquisite gifts were packed and packaged, after paying a high postage fee, they were sent to the Shanghai boat by the Royal Mail of England. In the rough weather, these loving gifts rushed towards the Borneo.

In this era, maritime transportation was still very dependent on sailing ships, and the cost of logistics was extremely high. Sending a small wooden case or a few books might cost more than a dozen pounds.

Wang Chen's income could not support such a crazy mail delivery, so he was going to break it up everywhere. He was going to change his war of friendship into sterling to buy stamps to affix onto all the parcels.

Far away in Southeast Asia, at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, at the port of Brunei Bay, perhaps one of the British merchant ships would unload the postal parcels of the British Postal Company at the same time as unloading the cargo.

That beautiful woman who was busy in the office, what was her mood when she received the package? Would she become the talk of the people around her when the packets were delivered one by one?

How did the woman who opened the package feel?

"F * ck, you sure are sentimental!" "How many envelopes do you think you've sent so far?"

"24 …" Wang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.

Xiao Letian thought for a moment before asking, "You just said that you exchanged the rewards ahead of time? "What's going on?"

The moment the leader asked this question, the faces of everyone present changed. They were all thinking that this was bad. How could they let the leader know about this private violation of the rules? How did he leak it?

The faces of the Dragon Guards and soldiers all turned pale with fright. "The Head of the Guards …" Not... It's not what you think... Brothers, this is … "It's just that I'm really short on money, so I'll make it up by myself …"

Obtaining a bonus was a type of motivational policy unique to Chinese troops!

Since ancient times, war had always had spoils of war, and spoils of war were always used as a benefit for soldiers. This was an unwritten rule; since ancient times, generals never forbade soldiers to collect spoils of war to earn a small fortune.

This was a very important aspect of maintaining morale. If you worked hard to prevent people from earning some money, who would work hard next time?

However, the collection of spoils of war greatly affected the battle. When the soldiers had too much selfishness, looting and other actions would occur, and they would even interfere with the battle plans.

Imagine, the superior had ordered them to arrive at the next battlefield in twenty minutes, yet the soldiers had secretly collected the spoils of war.

If the military discipline was any weaker, this troop would be disgraced as soon as the act of massacring civilians and robbing people's wealth appeared!

In order to prevent this situation from happening, Xiao Letian set up a system to obtain rewards. On the battlefield, everything that was obtained would go to the credit of the soldiers themselves.

After each battle, a post-war meeting is held with the platoon as the base unit. The meeting should summarize the experience and lessons of the war, study the new tactics, and count the achievements of the war... The other most important was the statistical capture.

Each unit would negotiate with each other to distribute the spoils of war on the battlefield. After calculating, 40% of the total value would be handed over, while the other 6 would be given to the soldiers. This was the reward system for the spoils of war.

All the goods and materials on the battlefield would eventually be valued and accounted for in cash. The accounts would be kept until after the end of the war.

Sixty percent was given to the soldiers. This percentage was not low at all. It was evident how much the Chief had loved the soldiers.

However, there was one thing wrong with this system, and that was that the bonuses could only be distributed after the end of the war. This was because the spoils of war would be counted as cash in the end, which was also a very complicated process.

Soldiers were a group that had a hard time saving money since ancient times. They fought for their lives, but when they were on vacation, they didn't waste their money. Drinking and playing with money was a common practice.

What if the army didn't pay enough? Some smart soldiers and officers started to contact the merchants and secretly started to pay the rewards in advance for the soldiers' work.

Your money is still in the account. Do you want to spend it in advance? Give us a fee and we can take it out for you. In other words, I'll give it to you in advance.

How about a hundred and thirty? Since you have recorded 100 Dragon Mark Silver Yang in your contribution book, I'll give you 70 then. In the future, this amount of money has nothing to do with you.

This was an underground black market among the soldiers. In order to pick up girls, Wang Chen had already paid all his rewards in advance.

"I say, are you so reckless in this war? How many injuries have you sustained? You just want to calculate a little more for your military exploits! "

"My brother, you want a woman to lose your life!"

Xiao Letian frowned his eyebrows, "Two collective first rank merits, and one individual second rank merit. You must have remembered to pay a lot of rewards, right? How much water did you get someone to draw? "

Wang Chen's face turned green with fear. I... I will definitely not dare to do so again. I am really in urgent need of money to spend! "

"Take off your clothes!" Xiao Letian growled, frightening him so much that he trembled.
