Gao Shaoyi was about to leave, but seeing the two uncles arguing so animatedly, he simply waited a little longer to see what kind of benefits the family members of the Zhenlu Army had.
"Where do I win?"
Originally, Gao Shaoyi was asking the shop owner, but the man carrying the hoe overheard him.
"Uncle, can you tell us what kind of discounts are available to the family members of the Suppression Army?"
Next to Sun Qiang's expression was a bodyguard who had never shown his face before. This guy was dressed in a rugged manner, and it was impossible to tell that he was a soldier of the Suppression Army.
"Looking at your kid, you should be preparing to join the army. Let me tell you the truth, if you want to change your own destiny, you have to go to the military camp of the Suppression Army. Many of your wishes can be realized there."
After saying this, many people around laughed. After the boss's explanation, Gao Shaoyi understood what was going on. When the old man sent his son to join the army that day, he saw the big words written on the side of the Zhenlu Army barracks.
, of course, he didn’t know a word of it, so he asked someone to recite it once, and now he has memorized it. Other young people he meets will recite it again, no one knows how many times.
"What wish can I fulfill? You haven't said any good treatment yet. Just talking about these empty words is not enough."
This bodyguard also knows what Gao Shaoyi is willing to hear. He has to say something practical. Who can't just talk empty words?
"What are empty words? You, a young man, are not satisfied with what you say. Have you seen the cigarette in my hand? Can ordinary people afford this? The rich man in our village, Wu Laoliu, has been showing off with a pack of cigarettes for two months.
, I get five boxes a month.”
The uncle patted his bag very proudly. Others around him were indeed very envious. They usually rested here in the teahouse, but most of them smoked dry cigarette bags. If anyone could take out a cigarette, it would be true.
He is a person that makes everyone covet him, not to mention that this uncle often takes it out.
"Did you buy it yourself?"
Gao Shaoyi also sat next to the uncle and asked someone to get some melon seeds. We couldn't let these people chat here.
"It's not an honor to buy it myself. These are all issued by my son's team. This brat doesn't smoke, so he asked someone to bring it back to me. This is not a lot of filial piety."
The old man said very proudly. In fact, the old man only smoked one box a month, and the rest was exchanged for money. There were several children waiting for food at home. Of course, when he usually brags with his old buddies,
I have to say that I smoked it all.
"It's just a few boxes of cigarettes. It's not a good treatment."
Gao Shaoyi's words immediately angered the old man.
"You're a young man who can't even speak. You're well-paid, and you get five silver coins a month. If you look around our county, even in Haicheng in the south, can you find a job that pays five silver coins a month?"
The old man looked like he was going to quarrel with others. The Suppressing Army had changed their family's life. Now if he heard someone saying that the Suppressing Army was not good, he would immediately start a fight with them.
"Other than that, do you know what my family eats every day? They eat white flour every day. How many days can these people eat white flour throughout the year?"
The old man opened his robe, and there were indeed two white-flour steamed buns inside. It was not an ordinary family to be able to eat white-flour buns while working in the fields.
"Did the Suppression Army distribute food?"
Gao Shaoyi asked knowingly and wanted to see if anyone below him was cheating. Although a strict military police system has been established in the army, as long as people implement this system, there may be loopholes in some places, so it is better to ask.
"Of course food is distributed. Thirty kilograms of white flour every month. There is no shortage at all. It is delivered to my home on the fifth day of every lunar month. I used to go to get it, but now I don't use it anymore. I have that big
One truck took away all the people around us."
The old man's desire to show off was finally released. He used to take the initiative to tell the people around him, and the people around him had already grown calluses on their ears, but now Gao Shaoyi actually guided him to talk, which made him feel much better.
"The old man can live a good life at home, so why do he still farm?"
Gao Shaoyi felt that the treatment he gave to the soldiers was not low. One person serving as a soldier and the whole family would not be hungry. This was also the slogan Gao Shaoyi shouted at the beginning. But it was obvious that this old man had just come back from the fields and there was still mud at his feet.
"As you said, I still have some strength, so why don't I go work in the fields? Is it possible that the piece of land assigned to me will be left uncultivated?"
The old man looked unhappy. How could he sit back and have nothing to do?
"I said, young man, do you know how much land this old man has allocated to his family? If I had his ability, I would farm every day."
It seems there are other things going on here.
After questioning, I found out that the old man had a son who was a regular soldier in the Suppression Army, and a nephew who was in the local security group. Unfortunately, his eldest brother died early, and this nephew was almost like his own son. When the land was divided among the superiors, the old man suddenly
We were allotted twelve acres of land and harvested a lot of grain this year.
Gao Shaoyi also learned about the land distribution system of the Suppression Army.
When they invaded these areas, the Suppression Army confiscated a lot of land belonging to foreigners and bullies and traitors, divided them into small portions, and then distributed them to the soldiers of the Suppression Army and the soldiers of the security group.
Of course, this part is not given for free. 10% of the annual income must be given to the suppressing army. Even so, many ordinary people are willing. Originally, if they farmed the land owned by the landlords, they would have to pay 50%.
That is no different from sucking blood. The land given by the suppressing army is the best land, and it is irrigated. The annual output is very fixed. You only need to give out one-tenth of the output, and the rest is all
Who wouldn’t want it from our own family?
"Dad, if you send your youngest son to the army again, who will work for you in the future?"
Gao Shaoyi remembered that the old man had said just now that when the second oldest brother came of age, he would also be sent to the team. Only this old man could cultivate more than ten acres of land. Isn't it a bit much?
"Don't think about this for him. Someone has long wanted to rent his land and give him 30% of the land rent every year. He will give 10% to the suppressing army and sit at home and get 20% for nothing. And after the second son becomes a soldier,
You can also allocate five acres of fertile land, and nearly twenty acres of land will provide you with 20% of the grain. Do you want to support this old man to death?"
