Yun Chao was just joking, trying to get closer to Jiang Wen and the others. It was impossible not to pay them, as that would be really shameless.
Feeling that the joke was almost over, Yun Chao laughed: "Gentlemen, don't mind. I have a problem. I like to joke. My salary must not only be a penny less, but on the contrary, it may be more. I am a rough person. Many times, you don’t speak well, so please don’t take it seriously. If you want the horse to run fast but don’t want the horse to eat grass, I won’t do it!”
Several scholars have black lines on their foreheads.
It seems that as the old saying goes, if your mouth is hairless, your work will be weak.
You are only a teenager, what are you kidding us old guys?
Look, it scares us.
"Hey, Brother Wang, it's not hot today. Why are you sweating?"
"Huh, Brother Zhou, you don't seem to be much better than me. I see that your face is pale. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Haha, don't tell anyone about the other. Aren't you both scared enough?"
"Nonsense, Brother Yang, we saw your lips were blue just now. You recovered very quickly. Now you can even make sarcastic remarks!"
Jiang Wen: "..."
Hearing several guys joking with each other, Yun Chao also burst out laughing.
Unexpectedly, these scholars have quite a sense of humor, which is different from the nerdy scholars in previous movies and TV series.
However, this is the effect we want.
Yun Chao didn't want to be so distant from their relationship. We were all young people. Wouldn't it be nice to talk and laugh together? What's the point of keeping a straight face all day long?
Well, in Yun Chao's perception, people in their thirties are young people and belong to the same age group as him.
Who knows, in the eyes of Jiang Wen and others, Yun Chao is just a young man.
People in their thirties can already be called middle-aged people in the Dawu Dynasty.
Some people get married relatively early, and their children are almost the same age as Yun Chao. He looks like a half-grown boy.
The reason why several scholars have so much confidence in Yunchao is not only because they saw the school that has not yet been completed, but also because there are so many projects under construction.
The new bridge over Wolong Gorge.
Dam filling water.
A waterwheel is being built on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Rows of houses that have been built or are still being built.
Large tracts of newly reclaimed farmland.
Brick kilns emitting green smoke.
Helpers shouting slogans and working enthusiastically.
Everywhere shows Yun Chao's strength.
Moreover, judging from the enthusiasm of the helpers in their work and their sincere respect for Yun Chao after seeing him, several scholars dared to use their reputations to guarantee that Yun Chao was definitely different from those corrupt officials.
The look in the helpers' eyes can't be faked.
It's incredible. The way the helpers looked at Yun Chao was exactly like the way he looked at those great scholars when he was a student!
At this time, the helpers also started eating.
The ones who came to deliver meals to the helpers were the same cooks who had previously served food at Yun Chao's house.
Several readers were deeply touched.
It turns out that these cooks are not Yunchao's exclusive cooks. They are hired mainly to serve the helpers!
After seeing the food provided by the helpers, the scholars were even more shocked.
Although they don't eat as well as the boys in Yunchao's family, they still have vegetables and meat, big white steamed buns, and enough white rice!
By the way, isn’t it said that rural people only eat two meals a day? Why do they still eat at noon?
As soon as their curiosity arose, they didn't care whether they might offend Yun Chao or not, and started chatting directly with the helper.
"Fellow folks, do you all in Wolong Village eat three meals a day?"
The helpers knew that these were all scholars and did not dare to neglect them, so they all responded respectfully.
"Gentlemen, we in Wolong Village only eat two meals a day, but only here at Brother Chao'er we eat three meals a day!"
"Then do you eat these every day?"
The helpers shook their heads: "No..."
Several scholars showed expressions as if it was true. That's right. No matter how generous Yun Chao is, he can't feed the helpers every day!
However, before they could feel relieved, a helper continued: "Butcher Zheng who delivered the meat has not come these two days. The wild boars we shot a few days ago have been eaten, and we have almost eaten the food for the New Year, otherwise we will have to eat more." a little better."
Ga!
Several scholars had confident smiles on their faces.
"Then...then what do you eat at home? Do you also eat these?"
The helpers continued to shake their heads: "How could that be possible? If we hadn't gone to Brother Chao's construction site to help, our family wouldn't even have enough food to eat. Now we can almost eat. If we want to eat the same as Brother Chao here, unless There are boys at home who are following Brother Chao.”
The helpers are not exaggerating at all.
After annihilating the bandits in Woniu Mountain, Yun Chao received money again.
Those who are not injured will receive one month more pay, those who are slightly injured will receive another month, and those who are seriously injured will receive another three months.
Since the Chinese New Year, Yun Chao has begun to pay salaries to all his boys.
The regular army of the Dawu Dynasty had a monthly salary of about one tael of silver.
The boys under Yun Chao have a lot of training and do dangerous work, so they are paid a lot of money, twenty taels a month.
Of course, these are ordinary people with high levels, so they will naturally receive more salary.
The salary of the corps commander is three taels.
The longest one is four taels.
A captain in charge of fifty people is paid six taels per month.
The deputy captain is five taels.
Further up is the head of the capital who is in charge of a hundred people. Yun Chaoding's salary is ten taels, and the deputy head of the capital is eight taels.
However, there are not many people who are at the first level, there are only two people, one is Wang Shitou and the other is Zhang Sihai.
There is no way, who can let the other boys not do their best.
No one is willing to be the shopkeeper of the Lion House, so Zhang Sihai is the only one. Can we not give him more money to encourage him?
As for Wang Shitou, let’s not talk about it.
He was the first to follow Yun Chao and made the most contributions.
The most important thing is that Wang Shitou has the ability to stand alone.
Whether he stayed to look after his family or led a team on a mission alone, Wang Shitou never let his guard down.
Therefore, when Yun Chao promoted Wang Shitou to be the head of the capital, no one could say anything.
Luo Zhiyuan and Jia Mancang are both at the top of the deputy capital.
Further down, Li Xing, Ma Ming, San Haozi, and Er Lengzi, who followed Yun Chao earlier, are all captains.
As for deputy captains, chiefs, and corps commanders, there are many.
Yun Chao is different from many bosses in later generations. He is not afraid of giving out money, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do so.
The more money paid out, the more people there are and the more talents there are.
When can you get ten thousand taels of silver every month, Yun Chao's power will...
Well, it’s hard to say how big the power will be. Anyway, it’s true that it’s going bankrupt.
Therefore, Yun Chao does not dare to relax at all now. He must find ways to expand his wealth as soon as possible. He cannot just sit back and have nothing!
