Chapter 276: Prince Long’s pensions for veterans Zong Zhengjun starts from scratch

Qin Lei smiled and said, "For our Zongzheng Army, the Lone King will adopt a new way of paying wages." It is related to everyone's personal interests. Everyone calmed down and did not dare to miss a word. Then Qin Lei continued, "First of all, there is a certain increase in pay." This is to ease the tension first.

Everyone's faces were indeed filled with joy. It seemed that no one would hate salary increases.

Qin Lei felt that the impact he caused was not enough, and smiled slightly and said, "After increasing the salary, everyone's salary will increase by two to six times."

Everyone was in an uproar, and finally got excited by Qin Lei's words. Someone couldn't help asking: "Why is it so bad?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "In the team of the Lone King, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, have the ability, and can make contributions, you will get more than others."

Everyone thought, even if we can’t endure hardships and have no ability, we can’t make a contribution, so it’s great to get twice the salary.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Qin Lei smiled secretly and said in a twist: "The reason why this method is said to be new is that it will no longer be distributed to individuals, but will be distributed by households."

The clans began to discuss in a low voice. After a while, some people couldn't help but ask: "Some families have a large population, and some have a small population. Wouldn't it be too unfair to be like this?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "What's wrong with the more people who have a larger population and the less people who have a smaller population?"

Someone asked again: "What's the difference between hair on humans? It's just about hair converging together."

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "Wrong, not everyone present can join the Orphan King's team." As he said that, before everyone could speak, he shouted loudly, "But at least half of the people will stay. In this way, everyone's salary will at least double, which means that you have taken more from the Orphan King every month."

Everyone was a little too stupid and asked softly: "You are good at beating, do it quickly, isn't it like this?" But Qin Lei did not give them time to react and issued an order loudly: "Now the households are assembled, and then each household recommended those who thought they could join the Zongzheng Mansion and report to the office documents."

Although everyone seemed to understand the rules before, Qin Lei understood the orders and gathered together according to each household in a daze. Officials from Zongzheng Mansion came down and took the booklet to ask them to register those who could serve as soldiers.

At this point, all the relatives saw that the people around him seemed to have written it, so they had to report the young and strong family in their family. Qin Lei was so confused that he walked away by the nose.

Qin Lei was not proud because he knew that as soon as a person entered the crowd, his IQ would drop by at least 30%, and he would blindly obey the so-called authority without reason. The larger the group, the stronger this blind obedience is, but when he left this group, his mind would wake up, and doubts and even doubts would follow one after another.

When the lists were collected, Qin Lei pointed to the yard behind and shouted: "Now all those who are not on the list will go to the yard. The Lone King wants to talk to you alone."

Everyone looked at the Qi Gong who was taking the lead. He thought for a moment and finally said loudly: "Let's listen to the prince." As he said that, under the leadership of more than a dozen old men, he entered the mansion one after another.

After almost the time of getting in, Qin Lei ordered the young man outside to rest on the spot first, then turned around and entered the yard.

The front yard of Zongzheng Mansion was an open space like a large sect. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to accommodate two or three thousand old people and children. Qin Lei walked to the platform in the middle of the open space, called everyone to sit down and talk, and sat down and smiled: "As the saying goes, there is an old family like a treasure. Now all the treasures of my Qin family are sitting in front of the lonely."

This gave the old men enough face, and they gradually smiled while sitting there. Before Qin Lei came in, these old guys had already agreed that as long as the prince dared to dump them, they would go to the Forbidden City to complain to the Empress Dowager, so they didn't look very good at the beginning.

Seeing that the old men looked better, Qin Lei smiled gently and said, "Apart from the children, how old are the youngest ones?"

People looked at each other, and some whispered loudly: "I am forty-nine."

Someone said, "I am thirty-nine." Immediately afterwards, many sitting outside loudly reported their age, all around thirty or forty, and even thirty-two.

Qin Lei said in surprise: "Except for the children, all those under fifty years old will stand up and let the orphan see."

Among a large group of old men, more than 200 people stood up. Qin Lei was silent when he saw these people. It turned out that these were disabled people with few legs. He was not a newcomer and knew that there were no cars that roared and rushed in this era, and there were no large-scale machinery industry. Apart from war, people had few opportunities for disability, especially the relatives living in Zhongdu City.

He stood up solemnly and asked in a deep voice: "You are seventeen years ago..."

A scar-faced man with no calves cuts leaned on the single crutch and bowed, "What the prince said is right. We are all disabled in Zhongdu City 17 years ago."

Qin Lei stood up straight, clenched his fist with his right hand and bent it back, solemnly placed it on his left chest, saluting to these disabled old soldiers. These old soldiers also clenched their fists meticulously and returned the salute to Qin Lei seriously.

After the ceremony, Qin Lei said sincerely: "To the big picture, you have all made contributions to the country. To the small picture, you have stood up at the critical moment when my Qin family was in chaos, so that the world can regain the Qin family's children and win back a glimmer of life for me."

The disability clans had a little inferiority complex, but when they heard the zodiac, they finally became proud again. Qin Lei continued to say affectionately: "Now the situation in my Qin Dynasty, everyone knows that the country is not the final word for our Qin family."

Everyone bowed their heads together, and the zong was not lying. Twenty years ago, the Qin family could occupy half of the court, but today twenty years later, there was no one in the morning court who could take advantage of it. Qin Shouzhuo? That scum didn't care about my great Qin Sect at all, just thinking about holding the Taiwei and the Prime Minister's thighs.

Qin Lei's tone was slightly raised and said, "The country cannot compensate you, the royal family will repay you! I, Qin Lei, announced here that all the clans who were disabled due to the war of defense of the Zhongdu will enjoy the same treatment as their soldiers for the rest of their lives!"

More than 200 disabled old soldiers were shocked, and tears flowed uncontrollably. They were always regarded as burdens. Monsters, and even children were unwilling to live with them. Moreover, many people were disabled, and no one was willing to marry their daughters. They were still a group of old bachelors in their thirties or forties.

And the young prince who has always looked down on his relatives, the first order was to make them worry-free for life. The old soldiers knelt on the ground and started crying. With that generous salary, they were no longer useless people, and their sons would not kick them around like Juqiu, right? How could they not be excited when they thought of these series of benefits?

Qin Lei's eyes were also a little wet, and he said a little awkwardly: "Everyone, you deserve it, and no one needs to thank you." He bowed to the old soldiers and said: "Please get up, everyone, the Lone King has a reluctant request."

The old soldiers then got up and said in unison: "It depends on the prince's order."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "The Lone King wants to ask you to go to Jingshan Camp from time to time to tell the rookies outside, so that they can know what a real war is." In fact, Qin Lei wants his soldiers to see the glory of these old soldiers and arouse their ambitions, but they can't just say it clearly.

The old soldiers naturally agreed. Qin Lei asked them to sit down and said to the old men beside him: "All old people, have many of you participated in that war?"

When the old men saw Qin Lei just praised the disabled old soldiers, they felt a little relieved: Everyone had fought a war, why didn’t we have any? When Qin Lei asked, there was no reason not to nod.

Prince Jia told Qin Lei that in that battle, almost all the Qin clan members went into battle, without a deserter or a coward. Qin Lei did not believe it, thinking that the old prince was boasting, but after seeing the exiled clan relatives at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, Qin Lei believed it. He believed that there was a mysterious thing in the blood of the Qin family's children. As long as they awaken it, there was hope to awaken the former No. 1 army in the world.

So Qin Lei also believed these people. He also saluted these people, comforted them with a few words of tenderness, and then said shamelessly: "We should have been allowed to enjoy the same treatment, but everyone also knows that the Lone King has returned to China for less than two years and his foundation is still shallow, so he really cannot do it..."

The old men nodded silently. They believed that the young Zongzheng had never really expected anything to get, but Qin Lei said leisurely: "But it is okay to let everyone take half of their standards." The old men couldn't help but smile and said, "The prince can fool people, just as you can."

Qin Lei asked with a smile: "Don't you feel wronged?"

The seventh prince laughed and said, "The honor is that it is already a great blessing for us to get off the battlefield with all our hearts. As long as we can have a meal, we are already content. How can we compare with these jobs who leave our arms and legs on the battlefield?"

"Yes! That's it!" attracted a lot of echoes, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly became very harmonious. The old men felt that this prince was too different, just like... a ball of fire, which made people feel warm in their hearts, willing to talk to him and do things with him from the bottom of their hearts. The feeling of opposition at the beginning had long disappeared.

Actually, what did Qin Lei pay? If we count from the books, he just paid the double salary to the more than 200 clans, and he would only pay 4,800 taels of silver a year. But in fact, Qin Lei gave them the most precious respect and dignity, which is what made these mature guys bow down.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and Qin Lei's words were naturally effective, but he did not talk about the main topic, but instead kept asking about the little things of the defense battle in the middle of the year. Recalling the glorious years of the past, he naturally had a great appetite for the old men: This said that the Eastern Qi army attacked the city and the children could not defeat it, so they carried the enemy down the city and relied on this method of exchanging life to drive the enemy down the city.

The soldiers and people who said that they were short of medical treatment and medicine in the city were hot and the wounds were ulcerated one after another, and they had to see them off. There was no anesthetic. Even under such conditions, many people still survived. Looking back now, people seemed to be not human at that time.

All the old men were immersed in the memories of the extremely fierce war, and countless glorious, sacrificed, brave, selfless, united, and witty comrades appeared in the minds of the old men. Only then did they realize that behind that bloody history was so dazzling and eye-catching.

Looking at the tears in the eyes of the old men and the intoxicated expressions of the children, Qin Lei knew that his goal had been achieved. When everyone's emotions were more stable, Qin Lei asked in a deep voice: "Think about those gilded years, was it really what our Qin family did?"

The old men seemed to have suffered great grievances and said angrily: "Why isn't it? None of our families died at that time?"

Qin Lei then said quietly: "Why did I see a group of slutty children playing horses, fighting crickets, and basking in the sun after just over a decade?"

Everyone was speechless and silent for a while. The Seventh Duke said with difficulty: "Aren't our soldiers disbanded?"

"Okay!" Qin Lei slapped his high-high and shouted in a low voice: "Now our military soldiers are going to rebuild, what should we do?" He took a long walk around Zhongdu City and finally brought the topic back to the main business.

But the effect of asking questions is obviously different. Without Qin Lei's slander, the old men expressed their enthusiasm to make their children at home change their bad habits, join the army well, and restore the former glory of the Zongzheng Mansion soldiers.

Qin Lei smiled happily and said, "Just about all the old people," and stood up and pointed outside, "Please ask your father-in-law to go out and teach their family members, and the Lord will announce that our selection has officially begun." All the old men agreed, stood up and went out, and said to the young and strong people in their family.

Qin Lei did not go out immediately. He first wanted to give time outsiders, and secondly, he could take a break and drink some water.

After taking the teapot that Qin Wei offered, Qin Lei gusted directly into the spout, and drank most of the teapot before he could get enough. Qin Wei handed over a pure white towel again, Qin Lei took it and wiped his mouth, and smiled and said, "Do you have something to say? Don't hesitate?"

Qin Wei then smiled and said, "I don't understand. You obviously didn't give these people anything, why are they obedient?"

Qin Lei shook his head and said softly: "For a real man, silver is never the most important thing." After that, he continued to drink the tea in the pot.

This answer, which was inconsistent with the donkey's lips, made Qin Wei scratch his head hard, and after a while, he said, "Is that a woman?"

Qin Lei sprayed all the water, poured Qin Wei over his head, smiled apologetically, and handed him the towel, "After a noble man like Gu, he is still dirty, and he really hasn't made any progress."

Qin Wei said aggrievedly: "When I followed the prince, people said that I was an honest and reliable young man."

Qin Lei glared at him and scolded, "Are you expressing 'near Zhu Zhe Chi'?" After saying that, he slapped him on the head and walked out, laughing, "When you understand what is more important than money and women, I will let you go." Qin Wei was overjoyed, and then whispered in a low voice: "Is there anything more important in this world than these two? It seems that the prince wants to keep me for the rest of his life."

Qin Lei ignored him and strode out of the gate of Zongzheng Mansion. It was already noon. He still stepped on the stool and went up to the table. He looked around with his hip muscles. Sure enough, the atmosphere was much better than before. He couldn't help but secretly handle the problem himself as if he was as happy as a cook.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Qin Lei smiled and said, "I guess the elders have told you, but what's more, you can't understand the elders' mood." Everyone laughed slightly, and while being amused by this master, he also admitted his statement.

"But it doesn't matter. We have time to communicate slowly. I believe that one day, you will love me like your elders." Qin Lei said with a bright smile.

The relatives of the street had to admit that at least this prince didn't look so annoying.

After coughing, Qin Lei suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, it's time to eat. I'll treat you alone at noon today." He said, and asked loudly in the mansion: "What have you prepared for everyone?"

Shi Yong also returned loudly from inside: "Beef stewed with vermicelli, and big dishes and buns are full!"

First, I stood on Yanqing Street for a morning and then stayed on Zongzheng Street for a morning. Everyone was so hungry that they felt at ease. When they heard the "beef stewed vermicelli" they saliva.

Qin Lei asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat?"

"Fragrant..." Tens of thousands of people replied in unison, and the voice even reached the Forbidden Palace, which made the prince who accompanied the emperor to have a meal very unhappy. He whispered in his heart: "It's so delicious!"

Emperor Zhaowu had a very light taste and almost no salt was added to the imperial meal.
