The first thousand four hundred and nineteenth chapter pay
The most beautiful morning light never belongs to lazy people, only those who get up early are qualified to appreciate it. Today's peach blossom gathering has this qualification. When the first ray of sunshine bursts out from the east, everyone has gathered at the peach blossom gathering
set.
Zhu Ping'an stood at the highest point of the hillside, with three half-meter-high boxes neatly placed at his feet.
"I didn't expect you have to get up so early to be a soldier. Back in the village, as long as you didn't have to stand guard, you could sleep until midnight."
"I spent a long time cutting down trees yesterday, and I'm sore and tired all over. Can't you let us sleep a little longer? We won't have to fight..."
"What are you mumbling about? What happened when you got up early? All the meat from yesterday's meal went into the dog's belly?!"
"Hey, if we could eat meat every day, we would be willing to do it, not to mention getting up early, even if we didn't sleep."
"Hey, tell me, what are the three big boxes at your feet? What are they?"
...
It was the first day for a group of new and obedient bandits to join the army. They were full of novelty about getting up early to gather, and they were whispering among themselves.
"Brothers, today is the first day for you to officially join the regiment training! Before you come, I promised you that you will receive military pay on a monthly basis! You all believe in me, Zhu Pingan, and come to submit. I, Zhu Pingan, will never betray 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 down the slope.
"What?! Salary?!"
"Did I hear you right? Our Lord wants to pay us?! It's just our first day as soldiers and we're already being paid?!"
"Did you drink too much and talk drunkenly yesterday? But you didn't drink any alcohol yesterday either?!"
"Is this how you get paid?!"
When everyone down the slope heard about the payment of wages, they all opened their mouths in surprise. They couldn't believe their ears. I had 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 Ping'an stood on the hillside, looked at everyone with a smile, took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said loudly.
"It's really a good salary!"
"Oh my god, we really need to be paid! I never dreamed that I would be receiving pay on my first day as a soldier!"
"Yesterday we had all-you-can-eat meat, and today we are getting paid... Our life is so beautiful, I can't help but smile from my dreams."
"Oh my God, surrendering to Your Majesty is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life, bar none!"
When everyone heard Zhu Pingan repeating today's pay again, everyone was so excited that they almost jumped up.
"Brothers, your military salary is tentatively set at one or two and a half silver coins per month!" Zhu Pingan said to everyone.
"Oh my God, one or two and a half pieces of silver?!"
"There is a clerk in our town who works in a government office. He is very 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 and a half taels a month, three taels for two months, three taels for three months, four months... In this year, it will be eighteen taels of silver, dear mother, eighteen
Two pieces of silver are 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. It's useless for you to be a soldier. You can't meet our adults! Other soldiers don't get this kind of treatment!"
"Yes, also..."
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...Sir, you're not lying to us, are you?! We were surrendered by bandits, and you actually pay us one or two and a half taels of silver a month?! This is like shit from the sky!
Like cake."
The people in the front row asked boldly and stammeringly.
"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 obeyed 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 money..."
"Silver, a lot of silver..."
"Hey, why do I feel that the sunshine today is so golden, like a piece of gold ingot..."
When everyone saw the three big 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 head on my neck, everyone will have a share. Everyone, listen to my order! Okay, starting from the easternmost side, in order
Come forward and collect your salary. Wait until I register you and then collect your salary."
Zhu Pingan shouted to everyone.
"Yes!" Everyone responded excitedly.
"Let's get started." Zhu Ping'an sat in front of the table and chairs brought 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'll give this one hundred and fifty pounds to you." The first person in the row on the east side chuckled and walked up.
Not to mention, Gudong immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Zhu Pingan, and said with a sincere face.
"Get up, get up and talk." Zhu Pingan 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 in the family..."
"Sir, my name is Zhu Daniu. I live in Zhujiazhuang, Linhai County. I have an old mother in my family."
