Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

In the military hall of Fengtou Pass, Mike, the leader of the Glory Mercenary Regiment, was reporting the price to the Han military battalion commander.

"Dear Master Han Jun, the soldiers in our mercenary group are divided into four grades ABCD. Among them, D grade is the weakest and A grade is the strongest, so their prices are also different."

"If you hire us to protect you, no matter which team we are, we will need one gold coin a month. During this period, we will do our best to protect you. If you let us help you protect your city and attack your enemies, Then you have to give us wartime subsidies according to our level!"

Regarding Commander Mike's words, the Han Army Battalion Commander did not frown, but was curious.

"Captain Mike, your so-called ABCD team needs one gold coin every month. The strength is different, so the number of people should be different, right?"

When Captain Mike heard this, he immediately complimented: "Oh, Master Hanjun, your wisdom is like the stars in the sky, just like..."

These words made the battalion commander wave his hands repeatedly. He was thin-skinned and couldn't stand such vain compliments.

Seeing this, Mike quickly shut up and began to express the battalion commander's doubts.

"Our D-level team has 30 people, C-level team has 20 people, B-level team has 12 people, and A-level team has 5 people."

"Oh, by the way, every member of our A-level team is a fighter with fighting spirit. They are the most suitable and most affordable to protect your safety!"

The lowest number of people present is a general. According to the calculation that one thousand copper coins of Rakshasa Man is equal to ten silver coins and one gold coin, a D-level team member needs thirty-three copper coins per month, which is just over one copper coin per day; C A level team costs fifty copper coins per person per month, which is less than two copper coins per day; a level B team costs eighty-three copper coins per person per month, which is less than three copper coins per day; a level A team is more expensive, costing two silver coins per person per month, but that’s still It only costs seven copper coins a day.

To convert, one gold coin equals four taels of gold, which is roughly equal to forty taels of silver, which is roughly equal to forty thousand copper coins. (Silver and copper coins are cast differently, and the lead added to them is also different. The price is not fixed, but gold is relatively fixed.)

After calculation, a so-called D-class warrior would cost one thousand three hundred and twenty copper coins, about one tael of silver, to hire him for a month.

The monthly salary of a soldier in the Han army is five dou of grain and eight taels of refined salt. If converted into money, the market price is three taels of silver. Therefore, the salary of a Han army soldier is comparable to that of a B-class mercenary. .

Similarly, the so-called fighting spirit of Rakshasa Man is actually a warrior with internal strength. One person needs eight taels of silver a month.

You must know that among the Han army, warriors are either commanders or soldiers in the Guards Brigade. The minimum monthly salary is the same as that of a squad leader, which is one stone of grain and one pound of refined salt, which is equivalent to about five taels of silver.

After this calculation, this A-level mercenary is much more expensive!

Captain Mike looked at the silent Han soldiers in the lobby. Although he felt that the price was a bit high, this was a war and people would die.

The most important thing is that your Han army has too few soldiers and there are many soldiers in Zecorona Province. It seems that the Han army is bound to fail. This is just to earn money!

So he asked cautiously: "Dear Mr. Hanjun, do you think there is anything wrong with the price? If not, we can discuss it!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes flashed.

What do you mean it's still negotiable?

Isn’t it possible to bargain?

Good guy, the life of a mercenary is really worthless. I just don’t know what the combat effectiveness is like?

So the battalion commander turned his attention to Jijiu, who shook his head inwardly, that's not how bargaining works.

So he asked: "Captain Mike, may I know how to hire you to fight for us, help us defend the city, and attack our enemies? What kind of subsidies are needed for this kind of wartime situation?"

Captain Mike didn’t understand why the Han army didn’t lower the price but asked for wartime subsidies, but he still replied respectfully:

"Level D gets one copper coin a day, level C gets two copper coins a day, level B gets three copper coins a day, and level A gets five copper coins a day."

"By the way, the wartime state is when we enter the battlefield. Whether we are fighting or not, we need to count it as a wartime state, and half a day will be counted as a day. For example, when we are resting in the rear or protecting you, it is not a wartime state. "

He said this confidently because it was the market price.

The commanders and fighters present took a breath after hearing this. No wonder the hiring price was low. It turned out that fighting was the way they made money.

I just want to say one thing, it is easy to lose your life in this kind of battle, and the money earned does not last long. If you die on the first day, doesn't it mean you only earned one day's money?

So what are they fighting for?

Simple money?

Jijiu was very curious and asked again: "What will you do if you unfortunately die in battle?"

Leader Mike replied: "We will collect some money to give to their families, and the group will also give part of the commission to their families."

All commanders and combatants: "????"

I was very surprised that the mercenary group actually had pensions within themselves, which meant that they themselves had sufficient combat effectiveness.

After not drinking much wine, he still asked in surprise: "You don't want us to support you?"

"You have already given us a commission, why do you want to subsidize us?"

Captain Mike was also surprised. The commission you gave already includes these pensions. Why do you need to give them again?

However, he still added: "If you are kind-hearted and think that the young men are very good, it would be best if you are willing to reward the war dead with a little more money!"

At this time, all the commanders and soldiers became even more silent. It seemed expensive just now, but now it seems that it is not only not expensive, but also very cheap. Together, this money is really money to buy your life! ! !

Jijiu was silent for a while and asked, "May I know what your logistics will be like after hiring you?"

"Logistics support?"

Captain Mike was very confused, but quickly replied: "You have to take care of our housing and food."

"We can live wherever we want, but if we are protecting you, the best place to live is very close to you. If we need to defend the city during a war, it is best to have a safe room where we can have a good rest. If there is no place to stay when we attack, We also have our own tent there!”

"As for food, our employer needs to provide us with two meals a day, one of which must make us full, and the other must be half full even if we are not full!"

At this point, he pondered for a moment and then added: "This meal may not be delicious, but we cannot eat dead people. It is best not to let us have diarrhea, otherwise the soldiers will not have the strength to fight!"

Then he rubbed his hands and felt a little embarrassed, "It's just those rotten and moldy grains and pebbles. You'd better put less of them, so that you won't kill people and won't give you a stomachache."

As soon as these words came out, the commanders and soldiers were stunned. It was just that the grain was mixed with stones. Why should the rice be mixed with stones?

There is also rotten and moldy food. Unless the corruption in the military or the government is too great, even the top officials will not do this!

These days, most of the people who eat moldy food are disaster victims. They eat soil, bark, leaves, and people, so naturally they will not refuse moldy food.

Or there are stingy landlords or shop owners who, in order to save money and food, let day laborers eat some of this food, but no more will be rare.

Is this mercenary really not a human being? ?

Is it used as a death squad? ? ?

Then... everyone fell into silence for a long time.

After a while, Jijiu asked curiously, "Captain Mike, is this all gone?"

Captain Mike was also stunned and replied blankly.

"No more!"

"No, what about your weapons and armor?"

"Bring it yourself!"

"What should I do if it's damaged?"

"Cultivation yourself?"

Mike looked at the sacrificial wine with a puzzled look, not understanding why he asked this, but he also remembered something and added:

"By the way, we need to buy some arrows. I hope you can sell them to us. The price won't be too expensive."

"In addition, we have horses that need to eat grass. We can pay some grass taxes. I hope you can let us cut some grass on your property to feed the horses."

Commanders and fighters of the Han army: "..."

Good guy, it’s an eye-opener again. These mercenaries need to bring their own equipment, not to mention their own horses. Logistics and supplies only require a full meal. There should not be too much moldy and rotten food, and the food should not be mixed with stones as much as possible. .

They even buy arrows from their employers, pay them and cut grass to feed their horses.

Not only that, the cost was ridiculously low. If a D-class mercenary fought for them for a month, it would only cost about two taels of silver, and this included pensions.

this......? ?

Now why do these mercenaries make them feel distressed for no reason?

Isn't he our enemy now?
