“Talking to smart people is simple.”

Wang Yue said with a smile.

Liu Qi looked at him with deep eyes...

"Don't look at me like that.

Even if we put aside our brotherly friendship, our interests are consistent.

There are many wealthy and prominent families in Kaifeng City, including gold, silver and jewelry at home, and even millions of wealth, and hundreds of thousands of people cannot rank at the forefront.

But what about us who guard the border?

The northwest part is dry and barren, and growing food may not even make you eat enough.

Speaking of which, the families of the Western Army really have nothing to make money except for empty salary. But they have to take a majority of them to honor the civil servants and the nobles in the capital. After all, your Liu family has to rely on sending money to Gao Qiu every year to maintain their official positions? Without the protection of these people, if you dare to take a empty salary, you have to face the punishment of civil servants. To put it bluntly, these civil servants and the shopkeepers of the nobles in the capital make money, with the stigma and the resentment of soldiers, and then get a share of the pie.

If something happens, you will be the one who takes the blame for them.”

Wang Yue said.

This is the essence of the army's empty salary.

Civil officials had money and food, but it was not convenient for civil officials to reach out and take it directly, so they asked these generals to take it as an empty salary. However, after the latter, most of them would respect civil officials and the nobles in the capital.

And they provide protection to the generals.

This completed the taxes plundered by the court from various places, and the circulation from the treasury to the pockets of officials.

It's the same whether it's Song and Ming dynasties.

The same was true in the Ming Dynasty. The generals of the nine sides paid military salaries, and they had to be half of them before leaving the capital. They all went into the pockets of civil servants and eunuchs. If they were not given or given, they could not even receive military salaries, and they might be imprisoned at any time. Even after leaving the capital, they had to continue to divide the eunuchs in various places. After these were divided, they were all divided by generals at all levels. In the end, some scum was left for the soldiers, but even the scum was not really all divided by the soldiers. The big head had to be taken out to raise the servants, and the rest were given to the soldiers.

But what should I do if it isn't enough?

Let the actual number of soldiers be smaller!

As for how much you have, it depends on how much you have left. If you have more left, you will have more actual troops to maintain. If you have less left, you will have less actual troops to maintain.

What to do when you need to use troops?

Hire temporary workers!

What should I do if temporary workers cannot fight?

Nothing is left to the generals. They have servants or personal soldiers to protect them. Just don’t die on the battlefield! Even for civil servants, whether the generals die or not is left to their affairs, and they will change them if they die.

There is no difference between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in this regard.

Or it is the same under the civil service system.

Military generals are just gloves for civil officials and close ministers with eunuchs as the core to make money. Even the Qing Dynasty is like this. At most, they only join the Eight Banners princes, but the distribution principle is the same. Anyway, the generals will not really be bullish.

Then it’s time for Master Qingtian to appear and fight the tiger!

"Then why can't we make a big splash?"

Wang Yue said.

"I have never been here, and you have never seen me. I have to stay away from you as far as possible in the future. If you get close to you, you will be searched sooner or later!"

Liu Qi took a deep breath and said slowly.

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and left as quickly as possible.

Wang Yue's proud laughter sounded from behind.

Of course, Liu Qi will definitely do it, and Liu Yanqing will do it even if he doesn't do it.

In fact, every Song general will do it. There are so many wealthy families in the capital, with mountains of gold, silver and treasures piled up. Why not do it if you can get it into your own hands?

Wang Yue is robbing clearly, and this is definitely not true. Everyone is a true loyal minister. Loyal ministers cannot engage in mutiny and looting. But when loyal ministers come to serve the king, wouldn’t the court not give rewards to the loyal ministers? That is the wrong thing about the court. The court has to give rewards to the loyal ministers who serve the king, and the bandits are very powerful and difficult to fight, so it is normal for both sides to win and lose each other during this period.

Just fight a war!

No one has always won.

Then if a loyal minister wins a battle, it is not right for the court to not reward him? It is as if he won, he will not reward him.

What about losing?

If you lose, you have to give money and encouragement to fight again.

If the soldiers under him are not motivated, they will be defeated if they don’t have the motivation, and they may even defect to the rioters, and even loot the people. In short, more chaos will arise, and the continued failure will eventually lead to the rioters entering the inner city and disturbing the sage.

So, you have to pay more!

Then the Western Army's generals made a fortune one by one.

Does anyone like gold, silver and jewelry?

I have to say that Wang Yue has really mastered his career in teaching people bad things...

"Wang Yue will never be born in heaven, and it will be like the long night forever!"

Wang Yue roared like a snoring.

"Wang Yue, get out!"

An angry scream suddenly sounded outside.

"Well?"

Wang Yue quickly poked his head out.

Then I saw the little lady of the Zhang family standing under the tower with murderous aura on her face, with Huahua next to her. The latter looked at him with a strange smile, and pulled out a small axe from his waist while watching him, and handed it to the little lady of the Zhang family.

"Miss, what's the matter with you looking for the Champion Hou? He is still locked in the prison by a treacherous minister!"

Wang Yue said.

"Let my dad go!"

The young lady of the Zhang family shouted angrily.

Then the small axe in her hand threw it upwards, but the tower was too high, and the axe fell on the exterior wall without even flying through the second floor.

"Who is Lingzun?

Huahua, what do you want to do?”

Wang Yueyi shouted righteously.

Huahua smiled and picked up a crossbow with her arms, then pulled it apart, and put an arrow on it and handed it to the young lady of the Zhang family. The latter picked up the crossbow and pointed it at Wang Yue without hesitation...

"I said why did you change your sex life? You have to treat that official with preferential treatment. It turns out that he has a daughter!"

Huahua said.

"No, I obviously don't want to make things difficult for him because I respect him, so I don't want to make things difficult for him. What kind of daughter is not a daughter? I have never known this young lady, so how could I know that he has such a beautiful daughter!"

Wang Yue angrily scolded him.

"Then let my dad go!"

The young lady of the Zhang family said angrily.

"I will be a treacherous minister, and it is a preferential treatment if I don't kill him!"

Wang Yue said.

"How do you release it!"

The little lady of the Zhang family said.

"Well, you know, I'm a lonely man!"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

"You said this to me, too?"

Huahua said.

"Well, what's wrong with me saying this? As a man who is still unmarried and doesn't even have a concubine, I say that I'm lonely?"

Wang Yue said.

The little lady of the Zhang family stomped her feet with gritted teeth...

"You let my dad go, I'll let you do it!"

She said.

"This is too difficult for you, right?"

Wang Yue said.

"I keep my word. As long as you let my dad go, I will be at your mercy."

The little lady of the Zhang family said.

"You have to cash in first, just here!"

Wang Yue said.
