At this point, the wounded soldier seemed to become relaxed because he finally ended the painful topic, and continued: "After I came to Yunzhou City, since I didn't have any skills, I knew how to farm.
There is little land in Yunzhou, and there is even less land for me to plant.
I was confused for a long time, but soon I saw the notice recruiting soldiers for our escort army, and then I came. "
Seeing him say this, Jia Ping suddenly smiled and interjected: "Are you here for the high salary and treatment of our guard army?"
The wounded soldier suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and nodded, and there was a burst of laughter around him.
Jia Ping turned around and glared at them, saying, "Why are you laughing? Can you guarantee that you didn't come here for the high salary and treatment of our guard army?"
The surrounding soldiers suddenly laughed shyly.
Jia Ping glared at them again and then turned back to the wounded soldier and said: "It's okay, it's nothing. Soldiers do hard work, so naturally they have to get pay and treatment that can make people work hard.
Our prince said, since you want people to work for us, then you have to give them high wages and good treatment, so that they will be willing to work for you, right?
People have to eat, and they have their own responsibilities to carry on their shoulders.
If you only give me a little money, who would be willing to work stupidly for you, abandoning their wives and children, and go to the battlefield for you just to hear you say what a true warrior is?
Most people in this world still want to live, right? "
As soon as Jia Ping said this, not only the wounded soldier, but also other soldiers around him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I came to be a soldier because I wanted the high salary so that my family could live a good life.
Otherwise, who would live a good life and be willing to come to the battlefield! "
"That's right, everyone is born from father to mother, and there is only one life. If you can't get enough benefits for your family, who is willing to give it up?"
"Hey! Anyone who wants to be a saint is a saint. We are just ordinary people. We can see our little family with our eyes. We are not that great. We can't be saints. We are just a few taels of yellow and white things."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Jia Ping raised his hand to stop the other soldiers from talking, and then asked the wounded soldier: "You just said that your wife was pregnant? How is the child now? How is the situation at home?"
When asked, the wounded soldier suddenly showed a happy smile and replied with a smile: "Hey, it's okay, my wife gave birth to a big fat boy for me.
I earned a lot of reward money when I went to the battlefield. A few days ago, the army gave me forty acres of land in Nanli County here. I bought a house in Yunzhou City and hired a house. The wet nurse helped with the baby. My wife originally wanted to come here to take care of the fields, but the little girl didn't let her come because she thought it was too dangerous here.
The little one asked someone to help him plant the forty acres of land here, and when the time comes the harvest will be 50 percent.
In the past, I could be considered a small landowner. I don’t know how much better my life is now than before. I have a bright future! "
After the wounded soldier finished speaking, the soldiers around him all showed expressions of sympathy. In fact, they were almost the same, and their lives now were much better than before.
After hearing what he said, Jia Ping smiled and nodded, then slowly stood up, facing the people around him, his face gradually became serious, he looked around and suddenly said:
"Are you wondering why I suddenly asked him about the situation at home? Instead of explaining to you whether we can defend this city?"
The soldiers then showed doubtful expressions. They were indeed a little curious.
Jia Ping asked loudly with a sullen face: "Who will tell us your military pay and pensions!"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. The last man, who was about thirty years old, stood up and answered cautiously:
"Returning to Mr. Yuhou, we now receive three taels of military pay per month. In addition, each child in the family can receive a monthly childcare subsidy of five coins until he or she reaches the age of adulthood specified by His Majesty the Crown Prince Yun at the age of eighteen.
As for the pension, the standard is one hundred taels, but in reality it will be more..."
As he spoke, the man's voice gradually became softer and his head lowered.
Others around him suddenly understood the purpose of Jia Ping's question, and all of them blushed and lowered their heads.
Jia Ping glanced around, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, it seems that you also understand, and you know what's going on in your heart.
How much is the pay for our escort?
Three or two and one month!
How much was the military pay in other parts of the Song Dynasty?
One, two, five cents per month!
Our guards are twice as tall as them!
Let’s talk about the childcare subsidy. Have you heard of this subsidy elsewhere?
no? !
This is the childcare subsidy specially set for you by His Majesty King Yun. What does this amount to?
It is equivalent to that as long as you release King Yun's soldiers, from the moment you become a soldier, your children will be raised by King Yun for you!
They will be raised until they are eighteen years old, regardless of gender, and there is no limit to the number of people. As long as you can give birth, you can give birth to ten or eight children, and King Yun will also raise them for you!
Finally, there is the pension, one hundred taels!
Brothers, this is one hundred taels!
Don’t think that one hundred taels is very little in the previous stations.
Everyone has come from hard times, and everyone knows what a hundred taels means. It means that your family will have no worries about food and clothing. An ordinary acre of land only costs 5 taels, and it has to be top-grade land!
How much does a house with one entrance and two entrances in Liaobei County cost?
Twelve!
From this we can see how much these one hundred taels are!
Are there any other armies?
no!
It would be great if the other armies of the Song Dynasty could be paid on time. Do you still want a pension? Don’t even think about it, but since you entered the camp, King Yueyun has less money than you.
If so, please speak up and I will personally go to the logistics department to get an explanation from you!
Do you have? ! "
Jia Ping looked around, and all the soldiers lowered their heads.
Jia Ping nodded, and then said loudly: "What were you before? You were refugees! Homeless refugees, it was King Yun who took you in, gave you a mouthful of food, and gave you a place to survive!
Since you started serving as soldiers, your child, King Yun, has been raised for you. After your death, the pension will be enough for your family to live a good life comfortably.
In this case, what are you still afraid of? !
What else is there to be afraid of!
Isn't it just death?
From the day you entered the military camp, weren't you prepared to lose your lives on the battlefield?
Now that we have already made preparations, what does it matter no matter how powerful the enemy is?
What fear do we have! "
Jia Ping made a fist with his right hand, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "For King Yun to crown me!"
The eyes of all the grains lit up, and they also raised their right hands and made fists in tacit agreement.
"For the crown of King Yun!"
"The city is here and the people are here! The city is dead and the people are dead!!!"
Jia Ping shouted at the top of his lungs.
All the soldiers, whether injured or not, were using all their strength at this moment, and the veins on their foreheads were all bulging as they shouted:
"The city is here and the people are here! The city is dead and the people are here!"
"The city is here and the people are here! The city is dead and the people are here!"
"The city is here and the people are here! The city is dead and the people are here!"
…
Some people say that it has become a verbiage in the past two days. Piaoxue is a little confused as to why. I have always written like this. Why did it suddenly become a verbiage?
Later, I thought about it, maybe it was because the foreshadowing in the previous chapter was too long, but this is a habit of my writing. Old book friends all know that when Piaoxue writes, there will be a long foreshadowing before the emotion breaks out, to finally let the emotion out. Reasonable explosion may be due to my insufficient writing power. I can't shorten these foreshadowing. I feel that if I shorten it, the explosive power will not be enough.
Piaoxue can only work harder in the future and strive to reach the point where it can break out logically without too much preparation.
Sorry everyone!
