"Please choose a bird!" Leopard Eye shouted immediately: "A fool has just gone to Dongjiang. I must have stayed here, and I will never leave if I beat you to death!"

Short beard also had the same idea as Leopard Eye at this time, but he was cautious by nature and asked: "Being a peasant soldier is exempt from taxes, and being a baggage soldier and a combat soldier, do you have any money for money? I heard that Dongjiang often owes wages, do you owe this place?"

The short beard is 25 years old this year, and the leopard eyes are in their early twenties. They are all strong Liaodong men who are not tired of family and have a deep hatred for Jianlu. They no longer want to take stable farming as their career, but are determined to join the army to avenge. This is also the reason why they want to go to Dongjiang. After all, Dongjiang is still very good at fighting in southern Liaoning. They often go deep into the territory of the enemy when they are in Liaoyang. They are careful about Dongjiang. The old slave has issued many special kung slogans for Dongjiang. At this time, Dongjiang Town is still in the hearts of the court and has actual achievements. If they want to take revenge, joining Dongjiang is a good choice.

Since we are determined to work in war soldiers, of course we still need to make some comparisons...

"The baggage is one or eight, and the battlefield subsidy is five cents a day, one or eight plus one or five, three per month, and three in footprints and silver. In addition, each person will be given two sets of military uniforms, three sets of training uniforms, one pair of military boots and slippers, and toiletries, bedding, spoons, cups and jars. Joining the combat soldiers depends on what kind of military service you are. The artillery pay is the highest, the cavalry is the same as the heavy armored infantry, and the musketeers are the lowest, and the monthly salary is the same as the battlefield subsidy is four or two."

"What?"

Several Liaodong men were about to stare out, and the leopard eyes said, "Do you delay the delay?"

"A month after month."

"The silver is neither black nor moldy, and it is still sold once a month?"

"Of course, the baggage and combat soldiers are sent out once a month."

"My God." Leopard Eye screamed: "How much money does this Hutchison have? It's a sea of ​​gold and silver."

There are more than 4,000 soldiers here, and the annual salary and training costs are 300,000 taels. In addition to the various expenses on Pi Island, the annual expenses will definitely exceed 300,000. The profits are all kinds of goods collected by Pi Island and the large wood cut down. In addition, the 12th Regiment will reduce a lot of costs after the settlement. The grain can be self-sufficient, and the meat can be self-sufficient, and it can also help the military department cut wood and dig ginseng. It can save 50,000 taels a year, otherwise the annual expenses will probably exceed 400,000.

No wonder that it would cost five million yuan a year to maintain the size of the twelve regiments. However, if you want to calculate the performance ratio, Liaoxi, which costs nearly four million yuan a year, cannot be compared with the merchant army that costs five million yuan. The warriors in more than a dozen battalions of Liao Town also led monthly salary of one to eight to two to four, and paid monthly food. They are still farming in western Liaoning. The latter no longer knows how many wars they have fought and established many military achievements, and has built a great foundation for Hutchison.

"Stay here."

"You can't leave even if you beat me to death."

Several ambitious Liaodong men in their twenties all had smiles on their faces. They made up their minds to never leave. They could kill Tartars here and do something for the elders of Liaodong. The various treatments made them dizzy and felt extremely comfortable from the moment they entered the base. If they didn't stay in such a place, they would run to Pi Island to wait for death?

"It's time to eat." A baggage soldier came over with a few farmers carrying large iron buckets. A strong smell of meat could be smelled from afar. All the escaped people, both men, women, and young, were intoxicated by the fragrance of meat and could not speak for a long time.

The thirty-year-old baggage soldiers asked people to put the buckets. In front of them were rows of tables and chairs, all of which were made of wood cut off near the base. There were many carpenters in the base. It was too simple to do these jobs, and the wood was even more necessary. They were inseparable from the dining table and chairs. A simple layer of tung oil was used to make a good utensil. Not to mention the base here, all the bases of the entire Twelve Regiment made various furniture in this way.

Everyone sat in front of the long row of dining tables and wooden chairs, allowing the peasants to make their meals.

The rice bowl is made of iron jars and handles, which can be carried when the food is very hot, and is also convenient to carry and clean. It is just washed and dried every time, otherwise it will rust first after a long time.

There was also an iron kettle, and each person gave one. A farmer smiled and said, "Seeing that the crops are growing well? The river water over there has made great contributions. We usually drink river water, boil it and then put it in the pot. If you just came here, go to the big kitchen to help cook water, so as to avoid being idle every day."

All the Liao people came down, their saliva was already flowing. They went to the kitchen to help, maybe they could eat a few bites early, and no one would refuse such a good job.

"The rice is old rice, we grow rice here in summer." The e-soldier hugged his arms and said, "If you like to eat pancakes and steamed buns, you have to wait for the evening, but you may still eat rice at night. The new wheat is enough to collect the noodles, and then they will grow rice again. The fields were not much, and the wheat harvested last year was less, so the commander of the Wen regiment here didn't want to ask for more military commanders. You won't be used to it, right?"

There was hot rice in front of me, which looked very fragrant. Which Liao people dared to say they were dissatisfied? They were really afraid that they would be killed by Lei Gong and Ding Mother.

"You are so lucky today." Yi Bing smiled again: "The dried mushrooms and dried venison jerky, and some fresh pork were added to cook them together. This fragrance makes me greedy."

After saying this, the saliva of the fugitives was about to drip. The white-headed man suddenly remembered something and said to the robbery: "Mr. Jun. Can I make a bowl for my son later? He is treating the disease in the hospital there, and I am afraid he will be hungry."

"Just." The e-soldier said disapprovingly: "You all have food, but can you still make the patient hungry? Unless you have to fast and avoid food, you can eat the same lunch as you do, don't worry."

After saying this, the family members in the hospital were all relieved, and then everyone was in front of them, with a spoonful of meat full of meat. The aroma of dried venison and dried mushrooms was very strong. It was cooked red and soft, and the trembling meat was piled up in the iron jar in front of everyone. Below was a box of white rice full of rice. At this time, the baggage soldiers shouted: "Everyone starts, but don't eat too fast, be careful to choke..."

But this is too late.

Everyone pounced on like a hungry wolf, and everyone swallowed downwards with big mouthfuls, even those women, without the inherent reserve of women. After a while, several people rolled their eyes and were obviously choked.

The peasants and soldiers around him laughed helplessly. This is not the first time such a scene, and everyone has seen it too many times.

Of course, they actually came through this themselves... After several years of hunger and living in fear, they escaped with great difficulty. After arriving at the destination, who was very impressed by these meat and hot rice, and how many people had never been choked? It's really my elder brother, I won't laugh at my second brother anymore...

Everyone reminded the choking person that the kettle was right at hand, and the people quickly started to drink with the kettle.

When they eat enough, some people even feel drunk because they rarely eat meat like this in their lives. The pieces of meat in the iron jar in front of them are the size of fists. Each person has several pieces, and it is estimated that they have at least one pound, which has cured all the gluttons for many years.

After eating, someone took the fugitives to their temporary residences. Unlike the exclusive courtyards of formal peasants, they still live in terraced houses, which is a bit like the collective dormitory of later generations. However, each person still has a single room, and the living is not crowded and cramped. There are beds and cabinets in the house to store simple daily necessities. In fact, the conditions are better than those of these Liao people before the escape. The thick wooden cabinets are not made of work. In addition to the fire pit, there are wooden floors on the ground. After people come in, they feel spacious and comfortable, even bedding and toiletries.

The baggage soldiers who sent them said loudly: "The bathhouse opens every three days, and you can go to bathe. This month is free for you. In addition, eating this month is also free. Starting next month, these will be charged. You can turn into peasants to make money, or be chores. Those who know craftsmanship can work as craftsmen, those who know how to write arithmetic can also sign up to be an official. Those who are good at hunting can join a hunting team. Those who want to be free can apply to raise fish and chickens or pick ginseng and dig beads. In short, this mountain is a treasure land, and everyone can find things to do. Everyone is used to suffering. Of course, no one wants to lie down and eat and wait for death."

The white man said, "I never dreamed that we were so good here. My husband and I only know how to farm, so we will live here."

"Okay." The e-soldier nodded seriously and said, "In fact, we, Hutchison, are the business founded by Lord Zhang. Later, it was changed to a company. In Hutchison, we pay a point to get a point of return, and there is no return without paying. Now we give you because you are brave enough to resist. This is the reward we pay for you. But if we go on, whether it is farming or breeding, doing errands, or becoming a soldier in the future, we need to remember what I said today, how much investment and how much money we do, just like now, how much tax is collected for escaping people farming, because Kuandian is the front line, and there are often spies from Jianlu who touch it on the outside of this base. If you are alone, you may be touched as your tongue, and you will have life worries.

We need to receive complete training and go to the battlefield if necessary. So you can earn less than 30 taels of land here in a year. You can buy or store the houses allocated to you in three years, and then return to your hometown after you regain Liao. But no matter what, you need to pay. You have also seen that we, Hutchison, are quite generous in our work. This is trusting you. If you sign a contract in the future, please remember that you must not destroy the contract. Hutchison is a company. What businessmen pay most attention to is faithfulness. If you don’t have faith, you will not establish a business. Those small thoughts, acts of treacherous and lazy, deal with the Ming government, the clerks and gentry, and the Jianlu, and the Hutchison. You must remember that contracts are the foundation of your life and you must never do anything to breach the contract."
