In fact, Liu Pei also understood what Qi Qitao was thinking. His father was the village chief and had contacts with people in several nearby villages. People in several nearby villages had heard about the treatment of Liu Pei's men, so they all came to Uncle Qitao.

I asked Liu Pei whether he would accept people or not.

The situation in nearby villages is similar to that in Fushan Village. Because there is little land, many young people have nothing to do and do not have enough to eat at home. They can only do odd jobs or make a living by making some private salt.

The servants are well fed and well-fed, so of course I would like to be chosen. Although being a servant requires working hard, it is better than starving to death at home! And if you don't die, you might still be able to get ahead!

So although Liu Pei didn't say that he was taking a servant, everyone thought that Liu Pei was taking a servant. If he was not a servant, who would be willing to let his subordinates eat large pieces of meat? Isn't that a prodigal? Looking at Qi Qitao and others,

It's meat and eggs, so everyone believed that Liu Pei was taking a servant. But Liu Pei was kind-hearted and didn't let the servant change his surname. And it doesn't matter if he changes his surname. Who doesn't have one or two sons? Go out and get one

To earn a living, there are still people in the family who carry on the family lineage. What's more, they have been military households for generations, and they earn money by working hard!

By the way, it was normal at that time to take in servants and change their surnames. For example, Marshal Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town. He took in dozens of adopted sons and grandsons, all of whom changed their surnames to Mao. At any time, as the leader of an army or

The head of a family must have some subordinates who are trustworthy and can calm the situation. Especially the officers need servants. They can help them control the troops in peacetime and take the lead in charging forward when the war begins. Therefore, those servants are treated very well.

Every day we eat big fish and meat, and we get a lot of money!

On the other hand, because servants depend on their masters for their livelihood, they are also loyal to their masters or generals. They work hard and practice martial arts every day just to serve their generals. It is a mutually reinforcing relationship.

This relationship emerged when civilian officials began to "float" food and pay on a large scale. Military pay was wiped out three levels before it left Beijing. After layers of deductions, there was nothing left when it reached the hands of the officers. Unlike everyone else

If we share this small amount of food and pay equally, everyone will starve to death in the end. It is better to concentrate on raising a few elite servants. As for the other soldiers, as long as they can survive starvation

That’s it.

This is also one of the reasons that directly caused the decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. No matter how elite and powerful the servants are, without the assistance of ordinary soldiers, in the end they will be afraid of being bitten by ants! What's more, Houjin Tartars are not ants! There are so many soldiers.

Without enough to eat or warm clothes, how could they want to fight? So it was not surprising that they all dispersed during the battle.

It is said that people are in high spirits when happy events happen! Everyone knew about the news that they might get a promotion and a salary increase in the future, and Liu Pei promised to pay him as soon as he returned. The truck was still empty, so the return time was two days earlier than expected.

When we first came back to the village, everyone looked at the empty carts and the smiling faces of Liu Pei and others, and knew that the business was done. Everyone got their pay, and naturally received warm hospitality from the villagers.

Liu Pei did not let them go back to their barracks that night, but asked them to go back to their homes. The purpose was to spread the news about what happened on the road and build everyone's confidence.

Early the next morning, everyone arrived at the barracks on time. At the same time, there were also a large number of villagers watching the excitement. Because everyone went home and told their families about today's salary and the bounty for killing people, everyone came to see what was going on!

In front of the camp gate, Liu Pei stood behind a table. A pile of silver ingots placed on the table emitted a charming light, which made everyone drool. Liu Pei did not hand out the silver directly. He first called Qi Qitao to come forward, and then loudly

Asked: "Whose food do you eat?"

Qi Qitao, who had been angry for a long time, replied loudly: "It's the head of the family who eats!"

Liu Pei asked loudly again: "Who do you pay for?"

Qi Qitao loudly replied again: "It's the head of the family's salary you get!"

Then Liu Pei asked the third question loudly: "Who are you working for?"

Qi Qitao also shouted: "Work for the master of the family!"

Then Liu Pei will hand out the full amount of one tael of silver. Every time he hands out money, it will cause a burst of discussion among the villagers!

After the pay was finished, there was still a lot of silver on the table. At this time, Liu Pei named the soldiers who stabbed people yesterday. Each of these eight people received a full reward of 30 taels of silver. Waiting for these 30 taels

As soon as the money was distributed, the villagers no longer talked about it, but exclaimed!

When everyone else received 10 taels of silver later, everyone was silent. Because at this time, their eyes were burning, and they wished they could take their own lives! They all wanted to join Liu Pei's team! This

It was exactly the effect Liu Pei needed. Liu Pei wanted to use the villagers' mouths to spread the word about the situation here, and then high-quality soldiers would naturally come over.

And everyone answered loudly when receiving payment: "Whose food will be eaten, whose salary will be taken, and whose life will be worked for?" This is also part of strengthening the connection between the upper and lower levels. At this time, the righteousness of the country and the nation is not very clear.

, there is no clear concept yet. More people work for their own lives. So often when officers rebel, the people below also rebel!

Now Liu Pei only has a starting team of 20 people, so he must strengthen the connection between the upper and lower levels. And he plans to pass on this ceremony in the future. All soldiers must ask questions loudly when receiving their pay to strengthen it.

Liu Pei’s own status.

Qi Qitao and the others went out for exercise after receiving their pay. All the spectators dispersed. Liu Pei called out to Uncle Qi, who was smiling brightly, and said, "Uncle Qi, this business deal was good. Did you make a lot of money?"

Little money! So I plan to think of some way to let the villagers earn more money."

Uncle Qi immediately woke up and said: "What kind of work are you doing? You can rest assured that the people in the village will definitely help you! If you don't, I will beat him to death!"

Liu Pei said: "That's not the case! The customer who received the goods this time said that the appearance of the goods we packaged was too poor, which affected the selling price. So I wanted to invite a few skilled craftsmen to open a porcelain kiln and woodwork workshop, specializing in

Produce porcelain vases and boxes. The boxes that contain things in this way are beautiful and can be sold at a higher price. The villagers can also earn some pocket money by working in these two workshops."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Qi said yes repeatedly and offered to take charge of these two matters. Liu Pei has been trained in the modern army and knows that military-civilian relations are a very important part. But Liu Pei cannot directly pay them. That will only
Chapter completed!
