"Currently, the imperial treasury is empty. We haven't even received the money for our expedition yet." Zhuge Xiaosheng changed the subject again and sighed.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. What the hell does the emperor mean? Let's risk our lives for him. Isn't it ridiculous that he doesn't even give him military pay?
"But our Lord Xiao has said that he will never let the brothers die empty-handed, let alone let the brothers have any worries! So he decided to pay fifty taels of salary to each of the brothers out of his own pocket.
As settling-in allowance!" Zhuge Xiaosheng had another reversal later.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they cheered in unison.
Before the army goes on an expedition, the soldiers will be given a sum of money, also called settlement allowance, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind and avoid worries about their families.
But it's usually about ten taels of silver, and the highest is only twenty taels, but when Xiao Chen makes a move, it's fifty taels!
Can you guys be unhappy?
"Master Xiao has already ordered people to contact the officials in charge of the major post stations in Fengyang Mansion. If brothers want to send money home, they can edit a letter later and hand it over together. I will immediately arrange for them to send it back urgently.
, the acknowledgment of the letter from your family before departure will definitely arrive." Zhuge Xiaosheng said again.
This is something that everyone didn't expect. I didn't expect Master Xiao to be so considerate. They say that Master Xiao is righteous and his subordinates are as close as brothers. It is indeed true!
Don’t know when the money will be distributed?
"Look at you bastards, your eyes are so red when you heard about the silver! Then disband first, and then follow your commanders to the military supply office to collect the silver in the order of the front and rear armies!" Zhuge Xiaosheng announced the disbandment.
But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he walked down the stage and started chatting with everyone. He didn't have the airs of a general at all. He was completely different from the majesty he had shown just now.
In his words, in wartime I am a general and you are soldiers, but in peacetime we are brothers... to avoid being too polite.
"General Zhuge, I want to bring something to my family. Is it okay?"
"General Zhuge, I can't read, so what should I do if I can't write this letter?"
"General Zhuge, I am a bachelor with no family. Can I pay back my settlement allowance?"
…
Zhuge Xiaosheng answered one by one very patiently, "Of course, you don't know how proud our Master Xiao is? But don't go too far. It would be embarrassing if you brought back a girl, right?"
"What are you afraid of because you are illiterate? Go back and ask your captain, they will do it for you. Otherwise, you can ask Staff Officer Ye Baiqing. If it doesn't work, just ask me. It's just that my handwriting is not as good as that of Staff Officer Ye. Just don't mind if you don't mind.
."
"What a damn good man, but he can't even get a wife? He's so worthless! The money will be given to you, but I advise you not to spend it randomly and save it for marrying a wife in the future."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. General Zhuge, you don’t really think we can come back alive, do you?
You can't say for sure. As the saying goes, those who are too bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. We brothers don't even risk our lives, so I don't believe that those fresh people are not afraid!
It is said that they are quite fierce. No matter how fierce they are, can they be more fierce than Japan's elite navy? Can they be more fierce than Siam's armored guards? Can they be more fierce than the fierce bandits of Black Tiger Mountain?
But when faced with Mr. Xiao, they were all rubbish!
Your superiors have all experienced it personally. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them later...
Let's go to Yanyun, high and low, so that the Xianbo cavalry can know how powerful our Chinese men are, and establish our Chinese majesty with the determination to die!
Zhuge Xiaosheng talks about Huaxia and Master Xiao, but he never mentions Zhou Dynasty or Li Wanjiang...
And he is full of foul language, which is quite in line with the big guy's tone.
Someone asked, and I heard that Mr. Xiao's younger brother Xiao Ye is a bloodthirsty evil god, with steel and iron bones, and infinite strength. Taking the head of an admiral out of a million soldiers is like picking something out of a bag...
Is it real?
Zhuge Xiaosheng laughed, this brother asked well, who is that, Xiao Ye, come here, let everyone get to know you.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ye pestered Wei Yuntian and wanted a musket to play with, but Wei Yuntian refused to give it to him. He was in the ink mark when he heard Zhuge Xiaosheng calling him and hurried over.
"Fight." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Who are we fighting with?" Xiao Chen subconsciously touched the axe, but suddenly remembered that these were all brothers, and there seemed to be no enemies.
"Everyone, listen up. No matter who you are, as long as you think you have a chance, you can come out and challenge Xiao Ye. If you can beat him, I will directly reward you with a thousand taels of silver on the spot!" Zhuge Xiaosheng shouted.
, hundreds of people immediately gathered around.
No, General Zhuge, are you kidding me? Is one thousand taels of silver real or fake?
of course it's true.
Zhuge Xiaosheng took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to the lieutenant commander on the side, "How dare I lie to you? You guys are here to testify. As long as you win, take it away immediately!"
"I'll add another thousand taels." Ye Baiqing, who was next to him, also joined in the fun.
"I'll add a thousand taels too," Wen Shan said with a smile.
That's three thousand taels?
The crowd was so excited at the moment!
Not to mention that Xiao Ye is just a skinny kid, even if he is really the three-headed and six-armed Vajra Nezha, he still has to fight with him for a while!
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward.
Besides, when everyone saw that the legendary Xiao Ye looked like this, they no longer believed in those legends. Someone must be exaggerating or making false propaganda...
How could a little guy like him be an evil god? He could only be regarded as a little devil.
Immediately, dozens of tall and majestic men stood up with their arms rolled up and their sleeves rolled up.
But I was a little hesitant before taking action.
As we all know, Xiao Ye is Mr. Xiao's younger brother. What if his little arms and legs are accidentally injured when fighting?
Even if Mr. Xiao doesn't take offense, we are embarrassed, right?
Sure enough, Zhuge Xiaosheng suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "Oh no, it won't be good if we hurt someone in a fight like this."
That's right, everyone nodded in agreement, fists and kicks were blind, if they hurt General Xiao Ye, it would not look good on their face.
Little did he know that Zhuge Xiaosheng actually felt sorry for them...
That would be better than strength. Zhuge Xiaosheng glanced at a cylindrical horse dismounting stone under the handsome platform. It looked like it weighed about four hundred kilograms. That was it!
Regardless of the outcome with Xiao Ye, whoever can pick up this big stone will be directly rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
Damn it!
The dozens of people who had just stood up immediately retracted more than half of the stone. It was difficult to move such a heavy stone, and it was too difficult to hold it. The main thing was that this thing was very smooth, and it took no effort to scratch it.
.
But there are also those who are too self-conscious and unwilling to do so. They stand up and use their luck to make gestures for a long time. Their faces are so red that they can only lift them up a little.
One of the boys exerted too much force and even choked out a fart, causing a burst of laughter.
