Liaozhai Great Sage

It is enough to pay according to the monthly salary of the imperial court, so why be so generous, and raise the monthly salary so high all of a sudden, what kind of pension is there, and a high price of 20 taels is actually quoted.

Well, if 1 people were killed or injured in a battle, wouldn't it be 20 taels of silver?

Even if the Li family has money, they can't afford such a toss.

Li Xiuyuan felt that the price he quoted was not high, it could only be regarded as more conscientious.

Because the monthly salary of soldiers in the Song Dynasty was too low, and they often deducted their salaries, so many soldiers were poor enough to sell weapons, serve as guards for others, work as thugs, and make money from side jobs. It is eating empty pay, selling military funds, and so on.

And this didn't surprise Li Xiuyuan, what surprised him was that if the soldiers of the imperial court were able to get their real salary and the monthly money was paid in full, they would be so happy that they couldn't sleep.

Can you be so happy that you can't sleep with this little money?

Serving one's life for the imperial court is too lowly. You must know that soldiers carry their heads to defend their homes and the country. You can't expect all soldiers to have a heart of loyalty and patriotism. Even if you are loyal and patriotic, you have to eat to support your family, right?

If Li Xiuyuan wants to change this situation and increase his salary, military pay is the simplest and most effective way.

As long as his treatment by Li Jiajun spreads, all the men who dare to sacrifice their lives will go here?In the future, even if other people want to recruit soldiers and horses, they will be forced to raise the monthly payment, otherwise no one will care about you.

In this way, the soldiers of the world will have a better life.

Sure enough, when he said this, those men who were still hesitating knelt down in unison, and almost all of the more than 7000 people knelt down to show their loyalty.

"The young master's family is so benevolent and righteous, the young one is not a mother-in-law. From now on, the young one's life belongs to the young master's family."

"The Li family treats me so respectfully, how dare they refuse to do their best?"

These people were all excited, wishing they could eat this bowl of rice right away, regardless of whether they joined the army or not, there was nothing to be picky about with this monthly money.

"Very good, you knelt down, kowtowed your head, and gave your life for me, Li Xiuyuan. From now on, you are no longer bodyguards, nor farmers, thieves, robbers, and rogues. They are all my Li Jiajun. Don't think that I I was just talking big before, but I, Li Xiuyuan, did what I said. This guy just lost the competition with me and died in my hands. I think he died in battle. Han Meng, find someone to buy a coffin, put his body in place, and send I will go to his hometown, and the 20 taels of pension will also be sent to him."

Li Xiuyuan pointed at the corpse on the ground and shouted.

Although this method of showing off was very common in the previous life, but here, it is the best way to contain people's hearts.

Sure enough, many people showed excitement and some envy in their eyes, and they seemed to be more determined to be the Li Jiajun.

In fact, these people do not have much choice.

Now that the imperial court is corrupt, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, ordinary people can hardly eat enough, the bodyguard bureau of the Li family supports them and gives them a pretty good way out, where can they go if they leave the bodyguard bureau?

If there is a way out, these men will not hold their heads up and join the escort company as escort masters.

Therefore, it is the easiest thing to organize these people into an army.

Li Xiuyuan had thought of this in his early arrangements, otherwise, why would he open an escort agency, he might as well open a farm, which can support more people.

After some more training, he asked these men to go back and rest first. If they leave now, feel free to leave, and the Li family will not stop them.

He didn't want to keep some people who were vacillating. Those who didn't want to work hard would only add to the chaos if they stayed in the army. It's better to let them go.

After returning on horseback, Li Xiuyuan said, "Housekeeper, please send dozens of accountants to register these people tomorrow, and go to the warehouse to withdraw 2 taels of silver. The money I put down is left here as a reward, and later I will select battalion commanders, leaders like Dutong, and I need reward money."

"Yes, young master." Li Butler replied, but looked at Li Dafu again.

Li Dafu waved his chubby hand and said: "My son's words are my words, just do it."

Butler Li responded and left quickly.

"My son, so much money has been thrown away before there is a war. If there is a war, the Li family may not be able to support it with this little wealth."

Li Dafu said with some distress: "It's all the savings of several generations. If it's all spent, how can I explain to my ancestors?"

"Father, the Li family's family business is here, and they earn a lot of money every year. They are already considered wealthy, and they are many times better than their ancestors. I believe they are worthy of their ancestors. Corruption, but no matter how much money is left, it is nothing more than stones piled up in the warehouse, and it is easy to attract people's attention. Right now, bandits and bandits are everywhere. What if the Li family doesn't have an army in their hands? Could it be that my father has forgotten County Magistrate Liu? What about it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Magistrate Liu?

Hearing this, Li Dafu's mouth twitched: "My son is right, it is not enough to have money, but to have strength, otherwise, if we meet any corrupt officials, our family's money will not be harmed by those corrupt officials." Well, since my son has made up his mind to recruit the brave men of the country, to defend the family and the country, how can I stop it as a father, my son just do it."

"With father's words, the child will have confidence." Li Xiuyuan said.

"For this matter, the father depends on you, but there is one thing that you have to depend on as the father."

Li Dafu said, "If you don't comply with this matter, my father will never let you lead troops to fight."

"Please tell my father." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Dafu said: "Before you leave Guobei County, you must let the people around you conceive."

Li Xiuyuan understood as soon as he heard it, it was because his father was worried that he would never come back, so he saved the seeds in advance.

This is a common thing in ancient people's homes.

Even when some death row inmates are about to be beheaded, their family members will bring women to let the death row inmates have a good time, so as to save seeds for the family, so that there will be no future generations. As for whether they can conceive or not, it depends on God's will.

"Well, let's try our best on this matter." Li Xiuyuan said bravely, this matter is not something he can decide.

Chapter 4 Thirteen Bad News

"Master, it's not yet dawn, where are you going when you get up so early?"

A sweet and glutinous voice sounded, with a bit of lazy sleepiness, as if just woken up, Xiaodie's head got out of the quilt, the blush has not faded, although she is still young, but between her eyebrows is full of Women's coquettish and seductive.

"Go to Guchang, didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm going to train in the army, why don't you have a long memory." Li Xiuyuan dressed and washed under Du Chunhua's service.

Xiaodie shook her head and thought about it for a while, it seemed that there was such a thing, she giggled: "Yesterday I was thinking about serving the young master, so I didn't remember."

Du Chunhua spat: "Don't be ashamed, why don't you go to bed quickly, didn't you get tired last night?"

"Sister Chunhua, you are not tired, how could I be tired." Xiaodie covered her mouth and giggled.

I wanted to teach Xiaodie a lesson, but Du Chunhua blushed herself, lowered her head in embarrassment and tidied up her man's clothes.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and did not reprimand them.

Xiaodie suddenly propped her head again and said: "Master, can this servant go to the valley with you to have a look? This servant has never seen the young master lead an army. The young master must be very heroic, just like what is said in the storybook."

"What are you going to do? Stay at home honestly and teach Chunhua how to read and write." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Oh, servant girl knows." Xiaodie puffed up her face and became a little frustrated.

Du Chunhua said softly: "The young master is good at everything, but he spoils Xiaodie too much, he doesn't look like a maid anymore."

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile; "Who said that, I dote on you too."

Du Chunhua's heart was filled with joy, and then she raised her head and asked expectantly: "Will the young master come back to rest that night?"

"Of course, you are not allowed to turn off the lights." Li Xiuyuan looked at her with a smile.
