"Huzi, I heard that after we merged into Heyang City, our salary will be the same as that of Heyang's militia? Is it true?"
In the city defense barracks, two soldiers who were off duty today were wiping their weapons and chatting away.
Although the current situation is relatively tense, Heyang City has not been affected by the situation for the time being, so the city defense task is not heavy.
Soldiers also have more free time.
Originally, according to Jiang Fan's idea, He Wenshu's team should implement the same training strategy as the militia team.
It is an extremely normal arrangement to use all your free time for basic military training.
However, since He Wensheng's team was a typical Zhou army with many bad habits that were difficult to change, such an idea could only be shelved for the time being.
"Even if we are the same as the militia in Heyang, so what? We are not a militia. I heard that the militia's salary is paid directly to everyone. What about us? Officials have to take most of it.
With the money we have, it will be nice if we can eat and drink."
The soldier with a scar on his face sneered and said.
"No way... Since we want to be the same as the militia in Heyang, then the salary should also be given to us. I have asked about the militia in Heyang. Each person in the militia in Heyang has three full wages per month.
Where is the salary! Compared with our previous salary, it has increased six times! No matter how much the officials deduct, we can always get the original salary figure, right?"
The soldier who asked at the beginning said hopefully.
"Ernan, I'm not trying to hit you, but the problem is, your idea is too beautiful. Let me tell you, one of the general's guards took us to drink yesterday, and after we drank him too much, he understood very well
We have been told that this time we will pay the same salary as before."
"It has nothing to do with us how much money Mr. Jiang will pay. What we get is only a hundred cents, not a cent more! As for the others, hehe... I'm afraid not many will go to the guards. Those
The general has never seen so much money, and most of it will be withheld."
Another soldier nearby came over and said angrily.
The other soldiers around also heard these words and couldn't help but gather together. They joined in the discussion one by one.
Everyone's attitude was very consistent, and they were extremely angry about their own experiences.
In fact, in the past, their feelings were not too deep.
After all, all soldiers in the entire Zhou Dynasty were in the same situation.
But as they were merged into Heyang's system, seeing how the militia were treated, and then looking at themselves, this feeling of imbalance was a bit painful.
People are always like this, not worried about injustice, but worried about inequality!
"Too much! They are drinking the blood of the soldiers! Why should we let them bully us like this! There is no Dazhou anymore! The emperor is under house arrest! We are Lord Jiang's soldiers now! It is Lord Jiang who is paying us
!Why do we still have to endure this?”
After discussing for a while, a soldier suddenly said loudly.
"That's right! Let's go to the government office to find Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang will definitely make the decision for us!"
This sentence immediately resonated with all the other soldiers around him.
"Huzi, tell me, most of us will obey you! As long as you are willing to take the lead, everyone will definitely follow you! If those officials want to take revenge, at worst, we will just leave the team and join the militia.
!”
"That's right! The training of the militia is tougher! There is no need to farm! And no matter how tough the training is, it is what allows us to survive longer! If we really go to the battlefield and train harder on weekdays, we may just pick up some
Life is back!"
When the man said this in a hurry, all the soldiers' eyes suddenly turned to the soldier with the scar on his face.
Obviously, this soldier named "Hu Zi" has a very high prestige among these ordinary soldiers.
Huzi's expression suddenly changed, he thought for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You are right! We can't let those officials continue to be so oppressive! Mr. Jiang said that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance! I believe it.
Mr. Jiang must also be able to understand us!"
After saying that, Huzi stood up and took the soldiers beside him to find the generals.
But before these excited soldiers could actually assemble, several government officials suddenly arrived at the city defense barracks.
"All soldiers gather! Youfu Yamen's new policy is announced! All soldiers gather! Youfu Yamen's new policy is announced!"
Several scribes shouted loudly while banging the gongs in their hands.
The noisy sound quickly gathered all the soldiers who were off duty in the city defense barracks.
Including the middle and low-level generals who were in the camp, they all walked out of their tents and looked at the scribes with puzzled faces.
"A letter to all the soldiers of the City Defense Army: In order to ensure the timely payment of wages, and also to ensure that the payment process will not be too cumbersome and cause unnecessary losses, the government has decided that from now on, all the City Defense Army and Militia Team will
The salary will be directly paid to the individual's account at Sihai Bank. If you want to withdraw the salary, you can go to any Sihai Bank with a guide and withdraw it directly."
The content of the announcement is very simple, so it is finished in just a few sentences.
The clerk collected the notice and said loudly: "Yesterday, Mr. Jiang has opened an account for everyone at Sihai Bank. From now on, the payment of wages will no longer go through anyone's hands, but will be accumulated directly.
In the personal accounts of Sihai Bank, this change will start from this month’s pay. If you have any doubts, you can go directly to Sihai Bank and there will be a dedicated person to explain it to you."
"We won't stay too long. There are other places that need to be notified. Mr. Jiang only gave us one day to inform everyone of the news, so I hope that everyone will also say goodbye to Pao Ze who they know.
.”
After saying that, several scribes turned around and left quickly.
Immediately, a large number of off-duty soldiers were left at the edge of the military camp, looking at each other with faces full of confusion.
The expressions of the middle and low-level generals changed drastically. After looking at each other, they gritted their teeth and ran towards the higher-level generals' tents.
"Huzi, Master Jiang, what do you mean? What is an account?"
As one soldier opened his mouth, the other soldiers looked back at the soldier with the scar on his face.
"If I understand correctly... Mr. Jiang seems to have noticed the problem of us being exploited, so he adopted this method so that we can get all the money in full!"
The scar-faced soldier said slightly excitedly.
"Really or not?!"
"If it's true or not, you can find out if you go to Sihai Bank and ask! I'll be there right away!"
