Even under Xiao Letian's questioning, Wang Chen didn't have the nerve to tell how much money he spent on pursuing love, but his friend Long Jinwei said with certainty that it was at least two thousand silver dollars. Vertex Novel Ｘ 23 Ｕ Ｓ． COM
Awesome, really awesome! Two thousand silver dollars, ten years of salary income of a blue-collar technician, just thrown away!
"Head of the State, we have always advised him not to meet a money-worshiping girl, right? This money is too much..." Long Jinwei didn't finish his words, and Wang Chen didn't like hearing it anymore.
"What are you talking about? She didn't ask me for money. I gave it to her voluntarily... Ever since I traveled to Europe, I have been fighting and living without a fixed address. I don't have a fixed mailing address. Even if she wants to ask me for money. You can’t deliver the letter either?”
"Only her address is fixed, so I'm the only one in contact!"
"My money is not for her. I have seen a lot of the situation in Borneo. Chinese people and high mountain savages live together. Huang Wanxia is in charge of education. Building schools will be the most important job in the future!"
"What are the things I gave her? They are all things she can use in her future career. There are specimens of animals and plants, books in various languages, scenic postcards..."
"Even for Sri Lankan gemstones, I bought one of every kind, and also bought some raw ore, all of which were used as specimens for her to build a school!"
"She is not a gold digger! I am not a lustful idiot either!"
Ouch! Now Xiao Letian had to take a high look at him. He didn't expect that picking up girls would turn into such a noble cause. This guy has a lot of intentions!
You can imagine this picture. Every time Second Lieutenant Wang Chen goes to a city, he will use all holidays to choose gifts to mail, such as history books, human geography, postcards of local scenery, various popular science books with pictures, and even exotic books. Sentimental handicrafts.
These exquisite gifts were packed and boxed, and after paying a high postage, they were sent to the sea ship by the Royal Mail Company of England. Amidst the bumps of the wind and waves, these loving gifts flew towards Borneo.
In this era, sea transportation still relied heavily on sailing merchant ships, and logistics costs were extremely high. It might cost more than ten pounds to send a few books in a small wooden box.
Wang Chen's income simply couldn't support such crazy postal delivery, so he had to dismantle them everywhere. He wanted to squeeze out his comradeship and exchange them for pounds to buy stamps to cover all the packages.
In distant Southeast Asia, at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea, at the port of Brunei Bay, a certain British merchant ship may unload the British Postal Company's parcels while unloading its cargo.
How did that beautiful woman who was busy in the office feel when she received the parcel in the mail? When the parcels are delivered one after another, will she become the focus of discussion among people around her?
How does the woman feel when she opens the mail package?
"Damn, you are such a sweetheart! How many parcels have you sent so far?"
"Twenty-four..." Wang Chen said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Letian thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You just said that you cashed out the seized bonuses in advance? What's going on?"
As soon as the head of state asked this question, the faces of everyone present changed. They were wondering how the head of state knew about this private violation of regulations and why they let it slip.
The faces of the Dragon Guards and the soldiers turned pale with fright. "The head of state... is not... not what you think... brothers... it is just that we are really short of money. Please exchange it yourself..."
Pay the bonus, this is a unique incentive policy for the Chinese army!
From ancient times to the present, there have been trophies in wars, and trophies have always been a benefit for soldiers who work hard. This is an unwritten rule. Generals from ancient times to the present will not prohibit soldiers from collecting trophies to make a small fortune.
This is a very important thing to maintain morale. If you don’t make some money by working hard, who will work hard next time?
However, the act of collecting trophies has a great impact on combat. When soldiers have too much selfishness, looting and other behaviors will occur, and even interfere with combat plans.
Just imagine, the superior officer strictly ordered to arrive at the next battlefield in 20 minutes, but the soldiers secretly collected the loot. Who is responsible for affecting the entire battle?
If the military discipline were any worse and the behavior of massacring civilians and robbing people's property appeared, this army would be dirty!
In order to avoid this situation, Xiao Letian formulated a seizure reward system. All seizures on the battlefield will be credited, and soldiers themselves are not allowed to keep seizures privately.
After each battle, a post-war meeting will be held with the squad, platoon and company as the basic unit. During the meeting, the experience and lessons learned from the war will be summarized, new tactics will be studied, and military achievements will be counted... The other most important thing is to count the seizures.
Each unit negotiates with each other to distribute the spoils on the battlefield, and then calculates the total value, 40% of which is handed over, and the remaining 60% is given to the soldiers. This is the spoils payment bonus system.
All materials on the battlefield will be evaluated in the end and converted into cash. They will be recorded first and then distributed uniformly after the war is completely over.
Sixty percent of the total was given to the soldiers. This ratio was really not low, which shows the great love the head of state has for the soldiers.
But this system also has a disadvantage, that is, the bonus distribution can only be carried out after the war is over, because the final accounting of the spoils into cash is also a very complicated process, which also requires the assistance of many businessmen.
It has been difficult for soldiers to save money since ancient times. They fight with their lives but spend money on vacations without risking their lives. Drinking and playing around with money are often prohibited.
What should I do if my military salary is not enough? Some shrewd soldiers and officers began to contact businessmen and secretly began to exchange bonuses for soldiers in advance.
Your money is still in your account, want to spend it in advance? Give us a handling fee and we can dismantle it for you. To put it bluntly, I will pay it to you in advance.
One hundred and thirty, how about that? If you have one hundred dragon-patterned silver coins recorded in your merit book, I'll exchange it for you seventy. From now on, this money will have nothing to do with you. Don't be greedy when you get one hundred in the future.
This is an underground black market among soldiers. Wang Chen has cashed out all his winnings in advance in order to pick up girls.
"I said you are so desperate in fighting? How many injuries are there on your body? You just want to count more war achievements and seizures!"
"My brother, you want women to die!"
Xiao Letian frowned, "Two first-class collective merits and one second-class individual merit. You have paid a lot of bonuses, right? How much water did you have to pump?"
Wang Chen's face turned green with fright, "Head of State...I...I will never dare to do it next time. I really need money urgently!"
"Take off your clothes!" Xiao Letian growled, making him tremble.
