Chapter 214

The Zhejiang Commander Command decided to abolish the family servant system and the commander commander commander unified the salary to the soldiers, which had a great impact on the generals in the army, the rebel leaders, and some servants.

For generals, no matter how well the army is trained, they will make wedding dresses for others as soon as their superiors give orders.

Therefore, generals like to use servants. servants are the general's private property and slaves. The superiors want to mobilize generals, but the army cannot take them away, but servants who belong to the private property can take them away.

In this way, the generals don’t have to worry about their status being shaken. With elite servants accompanying you, you can eat anywhere.

This is beneficial to the generals, which has led to everyone's rush to follow the example, making the family servant system an unwritten unwritten rule. However, in this way, the generals have no intention of training the army and only caring about the family servants, which naturally leads to the low combat effectiveness of the army.

Zhao Ming did not make a clear order, saying that the servants were abolished, but that the salary and money of servants and ordinary soldiers would be uniformly compiled and distributed by the commander-in-chief of the chief commander, but this actually cut off the interests between the generals and the servants.

As expected, just like Ma Shiao said, most of the generals in the army resisted, and many servants who were rated as high as the top-ranked Sergeant were also dissatisfied and resentful.

Zhao Ming's attitude towards this is very clear. If he is unwilling to accept it, he can leave Jintang Island. The Zhejiang Commander Command will remove them and send them away together with his family.

After more than a month of reorganization, more than a dozen generals, rebel leaders, and thousands of elite soldiers were successively taken away on the island, and there was no uncontrollable situation.

Zhao Ming decided to implement it, and he was confident that the generals could support their families, one because they could get paid from the court, and the other because they occupied a large amount of land and had huge wealth.

Now that the court's finances have gone bankrupt, the generals cannot get the money and food allocated by the court. When they come to Jintang Island, their family wealth and land are obviously lost.

In this case, the generals could not afford to pay the wages to the servants. At this time, Zhao Ming was willing to take on the wages, which made the vast majority of servants choose to stay.

In this way, the unwilling people to accept leave and the willing people to stay. The Zhejiang Command and Command Department took about a month to take back the power of paying wages from the generals and completed the equal-level assessment of the soldiers.

After completing the reorganization and assessment, we naturally start paying food and salary.

On September 15th, it is sunny. After autumn, the weather is not as hot as summer. However, the sun is high and it still makes people dizzy.

At this time, under the sun, the Ming soldiers were very excited. They lined up in a long line and looked ahead to the team from time to time, preparing to receive their own food and salary.

According to Zhao Ming's regulations, the best-class Ruishi can receive one or six cents of silver per month, and the lower-class logistics can receive seven cents of silver per month, and will also be distributed to cloth, monthly salt and other supplies.

On Zhoushan Island, there is a shortage of materials and the price of money will inevitably cause soaring prices. In order to ensure that the salary obtained by the soldiers can ensure the basic survival of their families, Zhao Ming will not only send the salary, but also send the soldiers food coupons.

After the soldiers received the food coupon, they could purchase grain from the official warehouse every month at a price of one or two taels per stone at a price far lower than the market.

If you don’t have enough food or want to eat better, you need to buy it from the market with silver.

At this time, on the school ground, Zhao Ming was wearing armor and standing behind the table, watching the clerks name according to the roster and put the silver, grain coupons and half a pound of salt into everyone's hands.

A servant who was rated as a top scholar took it from the clerk, one tael and six cents of silver, half a pound of salt, a large bill of grain, and six small bills of small bills, with a joyful expression on his face.

The soldiers behind saw the people in front of them receiving the food and pay, and their faces showed expectation. Many of them had not received the salary for half a year. Now that they received the monthly salary, it was enough for their family members to pay.

Although the monthly salary is not enough to allow the whole family to live a wealthy life, at least they will not starve to death. Moreover, the commander and commander still have land to divide. As long as you survive this year, your life will naturally get better and better after you divide the land next year.

Zhao Ming looked at the soldiers' joyful expressions, so he naturally would not miss such an opportunity, so he gave Liu Si next to him a wink.

Liu Si stood beside Zhao Ming. Seeing Zhao Ming's eyes, he immediately understood. He looked at a strong soldier who had received the silver, moon salt and food coupons and was grinning and suddenly asked, "Who will give you the salary?"

This is a very clichéd drama, but Zhao Ming feels it is necessary to act.

The soldier was slightly stunned. Seeing that Marshal Zhao suddenly raised his chest, his figure instantly became mighty, which was particularly eye-catching. He immediately put his fists on his fists and replied: "I am humble to take the salary of Marshal and work hard for the Marshal!"

The servants are all elite. They will follow the orders of whoever they know their money. This is the rule.

Zhao Ming was quite satisfied when he heard the word. Ma Shiruo and Chen Mingyu looked at each other without saying much.

Behind Zhao Ming, the generals, with complex expressions, sighed, knowing that they would not want to eat empty salary and drink soldiers' blood in the future.

However, Zhao Ming gave the generals a good treatment. After the training, it was equivalent to the commander of Zhejiang to support the servants. If the generals were transferred, they would not take the servants, so there was no need to worry. If they were transferred by themselves, the original generals would take away all the elites of the troops.

Therefore, the current situation is actually acceptable for the generals who choose to stay.

At this time, the Zhejiang Commander Command organized and trained combat soldiers. After selection, there were already 27,000 people.

After paying the soldiers with food and wages, the soldiers controlled by the Zhejiang Commander Command immediately calmed down.

Most of the soldiers' thoughts were actually very simple, and they had to serve their lives after taking money and food. Zhao Ming's prestige in the army increased again. The soldiers of the Zhejiang Command Department began to feel from the bottom of their hearts that Zhao Ming was the general of the great men.

At this time, Zhao Ming looked at the soldiers' faces full of joy, and Chen Mingyu said, "Master, the treasurer has consumed a lot of money recently to develop Taiwan. After this time, the treasurer has not saved much silver and grain."

Chen Mingyu paused and continued: "Now, the treasury needs to reserve grain to ensure that the soldiers can hold tickets to buy grain to meet the basic needs of the soldiers and their families. In addition, although some people have left the island recently, the Qing army's Zhejiang rebel army, and many rebels fled to Zhoushan one after another, and also needed a large amount of money and grain to be resettled. The general should still make preparations early."

Zhao Ming Wenyu looked calm, "I will solve this matter, Mr. Chen doesn't have to worry."

Liegang, a sea boat slowly entered the harbor. Zhang Yida and others stood on the deck, looking at the masts in the harbor in surprise.

"Lao Ji, what kind of ship is that? It's so big!" Zhang Yida exclaimed at the three-masted gunship anchored in the harbor.

Lao Ji was also a scholar from the mainland. He was even more surprised than him when he went to sea for the first time. He could not answer, but he still stroked his beard and could not lose face. He said in a deep voice: "That should be the treasure ship used by the eunuch of the Three Treasures."

"Why is this ship so strange?" Zhang Yida was puzzled, and suddenly saw the fortress on Jintang Mountain, and immediately shouted: "Old Ji, look at that city, it's actually built on the top of the mountain!"
