Not only did he covet the military pay and food allocated by the court, but from time to time, he would also ask his soldiers to do odd jobs for him to earn some money.
For example, help him cultivate crops and collect grain, etc.
In the end, Gao Qiu's life became more and more prosperous because he repeatedly ate his empty pay and drank the blood of his soldiers.
And what about the soldiers under him?
Not to mention military pay every month, even if they can get enough food to eat, it is not easy.
With such a situation of soldiers, trying to win the war is tantamount to wishful thinking.
On the other hand, what about the Liangshan soldiers and horses under Wu Zhi?
In addition to the military pay of a few taels of silver each month, their meals were also far superior to those of the soldiers of the imperial court.
If these soldiers die on the battlefield in the future, then the relevant departments on Shuibo Liangshan will support those families for the rest of their lives after paying a funeral fee to the families of those soldiers who died in battle.
Such treatment was exclusive to the entire Song Dynasty, even if the Jin and Liao countries were included.
Therefore, whenever the soldiers on Shuibo Liang Mountain go down to fight, their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
First, it is naturally because the equipment on Shuibo Liang Mountain is well-equipped and the weapons are advanced.
Secondly, it was also because under such superior conditions, those soldiers were more willing to fight for the entire Shuibo Liangshan Mountains.
Although every month, the soldiers on the Liangshan Mountains spent a lot of silver.
But Wu Zhi also believed that the money spent was well worth it.
Because if you want to lay a foundation for yourself in this era where heroes are rising together, then this powerful army will undoubtedly be the cornerstone of everything.
Only with these solid and secure foundations can Wu Zhi's grand ambitions be realized.
Therefore, although Wu Zhi is very willing to spend money for the army, at the same time, he will often warn the leaders under his command that officials at any level must not arbitrarily deduct or reduce the treatment of the soldiers under his command.
If something like this happens, if he catches one, he will be punished severely.
After that, Wu Zhi not only said this, but also did this.
So gradually, the atmosphere in the entire Shuibo Liangshan Army was fixed.
That is, for all soldiers in the army and even generals at all levels, the only way for them to improve their military ranks is:
Work hard to kill enemies and accumulate military exploits.
Because only in this way can they climb to a higher position, obtain greater and more authority, and earn more money.
If you dare to bring crooked ideas to the soldiers under your command, what awaits them will be at least confinement and at worst, their lives may not even be saved.
The existence of the industries under Wu Zhi's command not only allowed him to cultivate an armed force of up to ten thousand people with very strong combat effectiveness, but also improved Wu Zhi's own quality of life on many levels.
Therefore, Wu Zhi has always attached great importance to those industries.
Before that, Wu Zhi had demonstrated to Master Li the various advantages of that kind of small water heater and several sets of women's clothing.
And in his heart, he also believed that those in Master Li's circle of friends would definitely like them after seeing the various functions of those two things.
But after all, this only existed in Wu Zhi's imagination. As for the effect after implementation, he had to go to Master Li personally to know.
Therefore, after Wu Zhi visited all the properties under his name, he put on a set of quite elegant white robes, and went to Master Li's brothel.
It was evening at this time, and the brothel was extremely busy.
Nearby, there are singers singing softly, and in the distance, there are countless people looking for pleasure hugging each other and kissing each other, "massaging" each other.
Although some brothel girls were quite charming, with their round and jade-shaped figures, Wu Zhi was so aroused that he was filled with desire.
But when Wu Zhi thought of Master Li's stunning face, he immediately lost interest in these vulgar fans in front of him.
Originally, Wu Zhi thought that when he visited Master Li this time, he would be like before, and after taking advantage of Master Li, he would return home satisfied.
But today, due to the sudden visit of an uninvited guest, Wu Zhi and Li Shishi were both extremely embarrassed.
Of course, these are all things for later.
When Wu Zhi walked at a leisurely pace to the door of Master Li's reception room.
Master Li and his little maid Dongxue were sitting on both sides of a small coffee table, sipping tea leisurely and joking with each other cheerfully.
Since Wu Zhi had already installed a small water heater in the house, the two of them no longer had to wear heavy winter clothes.
The little Dongxue girl was still dressed as usual, wearing a green outfit and a light pink shawl.
That pretty little face was lightly painted with powder.
When he frowns and smiles, two shallow dimples are looming.
It's really like a ripe peach, sweet and sour.
And what about Master Li?
At this moment, she was wearing a purple-red dress. Although the style looked quite loose, it still showed off her exquisite curves, making her charming and charming.
There was a hint of blush on her pink face.
When she went to play with the little girl Dongxue, her face was filled with an innocence and pure beauty that is rarely seen in ordinary times.
Wu Zhi, who was standing at the door, looked a little crazy.
It wasn't until the two masters and servants in the living room found Wu Zhi standing at the door with a dazed expression on his face, that they stepped forward and called him several times before he came back to his senses from his endless thoughts.
When Wu Zhi revealed his intention of coming here, the master and servant had completely different reactions.
After Master Li heard Wu Zhi's intention, he immediately invited Wu Zhi into the house.
But the little Dongxue girl, after hearing Wu Zhi's intention, pursed her lips, shook her head in disappointment, and then went down to make tea.
After Master Li moved Wu Zhi to the coffee table, he asked him to sit down, and then filled him with a large cup of tea.
"Mr. Wu, the whole set of small water heaters that you asked Shishi to promote on your behalf has now begun to bear fruit."
"Almost all the dignitaries in my circle of friends don't like that kind of small water heater after seeing it."
"Then they all asked me. If that kind of small heater is sold in the capital, I must first help them bring a set."
