Chapter 1423 Pay
The most beautiful morning sun never belongs to lazy people, only those who get up early are qualified to appreciate it. Today's Peach Blossom Collection has this qualification. When the first ray of sunshine bursts from the east, everyone has gathered at Peach Blossom Collection.
Zhu Pingan stood at the highest point of the hillside, with three half-meter-high boxes neatly placed at his feet.
“I didn’t expect to get up so early as a soldier. Back then, as long as I didn’t have to stand guard in the village, I could sleep until midnight.”
“After cutting down trees for a long time yesterday, my body was covered with We are sore and tired, can't you let us sleep a little longer?"
"What are you mumbling about? What will happen if you get up early? All the meat you ate yesterday went into the dog's belly?!"
"Hey, if you can eat meat every day, let alone getting up early, you won't sleep. We are all willing.”
"Hey, tell me, what are the three big boxes at our feet? What are they?"
A group of newly-obedient bandits are on their first day as soldiers, and they are full of enthusiasm for getting up early to gather. They were fascinated by the novelty, and there was a lot of discussion among each other.
"Brothers, today is the first day that you officially join the team training! Before you come, I promised you that you will receive military pay on a monthly basis! You believe in me, Zhu Pingan, and come to submit. I, Zhu Pingan, will never do it. I have betrayed your trust. Today, I will give you your first month’s military pay!” Zhu Ping’an stood on the high slope and said loudly to the people below.
"What?! Pay?!"
"Did I hear you right? Our Lord wants to pay us?! We are paid on our first day as soldiers?!"
< br>"Didn't you say you were drunk because you drank too much yesterday? That’s right! But you didn’t drink any wine yesterday?” None of them could believe their ears. I’ve only heard of people who were paid in arrears, but never heard of people who were paid in advance? !
"Brothers, you heard it right. Today, your first month's military pay will be paid out! From now on, today will be your pay day every month. I promise you that I will never default on your military pay!"
Zhu Pingan stood on the hillside, looked at everyone with a smile, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said loudly.
“I really need to be paid!”
“Oh my god, I really need to be paid! I never dreamed that I would be getting paid on my first day as a soldier. ! ”
“You had all you can eat yesterday, and today we are all having a wonderful day. I’ll wake up with a smile even in my dreams.”
"Oh my God, surrendering to Your Majesty is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life, bar none!"
Everyone was so excited that they almost jumped when they heard Zhu Ping'an repeating today's pay. Get up.
"Brothers, your military salary is tentatively set at one or two and a half silver dollars per month!" Zhu Pingan said to everyone.
“Oh my god, one and a half taels of silver?!”
“There is a clerk in our town who works as a yamen errand. He is so powerful, but he only earns ten taels of silver in a year!”
"I heard that soldiers in the general guard station only get one tael of silver a month, but we actually get one tael and a half of silver a month?!"
"One tael and a half of silver, one tael and a half a month, Two months is three taels, and three months or four months is equivalent to eighteen taels of silver in one year. My dear mother, eighteen taels of silver is enough to marry a wife!"
"What?! Eighteen taels a year?! So many, oh, why didn't I come to be a soldier earlier!"
"Hahaha, you are stupid, you should have done it earlier It’s useless to be a soldier, you can’t meet us adults! Other soldiers don’t have this kind of treatment!”
“That’s right, too”
After everyone heard that their monthly soldier's salary was one or two and a half silver, they were all shocked and dumbfounded. Their mouths were as wide as the mouth of a box. They couldn't believe their ears, and they swallowed saliva loudly!
"Sir, you are not lying to us, are you?! We are surrendered by bandits, and you actually pay us one or two and a half taels of silver a month?! This is like pie in the sky. Like cakes."
The person in the front row asked boldly.
"Haha, what did I lie to you for? Come on, open the box!" Zhu Pingan replied with a smile, and waved his hand to order the box to be opened.
Liu Dadao and others followed the order and came out, stepped forward to open the box, and suddenly a flash of silver light dazzled everyone's eyes.
"Oh my god, so much silver."
"Silver, so much silver"
"Hey, why do I feel that the sunshine today is so golden, like a piece of gold ingot?"
When everyone saw three large boxes full of scattered silver, they all suddenly breathed rapidly and swallowed their saliva.
"Okay, now let's start distributing the pay! Everyone stand still, don't move around, don't be in a hurry, I will guarantee it with the heads on my neck, everyone will have a share. Everyone, listen to my orders! Okay, Starting from the easternmost side, come forward to collect your wages one by one. I will collect your wages after I register them.”
Zhu Pingan shouted to everyone.
“Yes!” Everyone responded excitedly.
“Let’s get started.” Zhu Ping’an sat in front of the table and chairs moved by Liu Dadao, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and shouted to the excited people.
"Hey, I'm the first one. I kowtow to you. From today on, I will give this one hundred and fifty kilograms to you." The first person in the row on the east side chuckled. Walking forward, Gudong knelt down on the ground without saying a word, kowtowed heavily to Zhu Pingan, and said sincerely.
"Get up, get up and talk." Zhu Ping'an stood up and left the chair, stepped forward to help him up, and asked with a gentle face, "What is your name, where do you live, and who is there at home?"
"Sir, my name is Zhu Daniu. I live in Zhujiazhuang, Linhai County. I have an old mother in my family."
Er Niu stood up and replied.
Zhu Ping'an recorded Zhu Daniu's situation in the book and nodded, "Haha, we are still the same family. Okay, go get your military pay. Train well, be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and strive to achieve more meritorious deeds. I am an officer. I will not be stingy with the reward, it is enough for you to marry a wife , let your mother have a grandson as soon as possible."
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely listen to your words, train well, be loyal to the king and serve the country, do more meritorious deeds, and not embarrass our old Zhu family." Zhu Daniu did not expect that Zhu Ping'an would Encouraging him, he excitedly expressed his stance.
Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded, indicating to him to pay for the soldiers. After Zhu Daniu thanked him again, he received his military pay of one or two and a half silver coins.
Everyone down the slope saw that after Zhu Daniu registered with Zhu Pingan, he indeed received a soldier's salary of one or two and a half silver, and they were all more excited and excited
"Next one!" Zhu Pingan shouted.
The second person came forward to register, and then received the military pay. Then an hour after the third and fourth people, everyone received the silver reward, and everyone had a smile on their face. Full of longing for the future. (End of this chapter)
