The Xiaochangba Conference was a great success.

This is the most united conference that Chongqing Green Camp has held since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The conference distributed a total of rice, oil, meat and fish together with replacement silver, as well as New Year red envelopes (one tael) from the Admiral to each household, totaling more than 60,000 taels.

This translates into about nine taels per battalion soldier.

As a result, the singing and praise that the Admiral heard that day was definitely something he had never heard in his whole life.

There are countless people who kowtow to the Admiral.

In order to let the camp soldiers and their families feel the admiral's kindness to them more closely, Jia Liu continued to shake hands with the crowd at the end, until his hands were numb by the end.

But he was very happy, from the bottom of his heart, from the bottom of his heart.

Because this is Chongqing Green Camp’s support for him.

When meeting hundreds of retired soldiers who had been disabled due to injuries over the years, Jia Liu sat on the ground like them. Someone wanted to give him a stool to sit on, but he threw the stool aside and said: "Soldiers

My butt can touch the mud, but my butt is like gold and can’t touch the mud?”

When a wounded soldier with both legs missing used his arms to support himself and struggled to kowtow to the admiral, Jia Liu couldn't hide his emotion, burst into tears, held the wounded soldier's hands tightly, and kept saying

Choking with sobs, he even said that he was late and had wronged the brothers.

"From now on, as long as I, Jia Jiashikai, am the Admiral of Sichuan, Sichuan Green Camp will never forget you! To be honest, I have already submitted a request to the imperial court to provide you with the same disability pension as the Eight Banners soldiers. As long as the imperial court approves it,

, I will definitely make up for everyone by March at the latest!”

After hearing the admiral's words, all the disabled soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers were moved. There is such a good man in the world!

Ma Dayuan, the new deputy general of Chongqing Town, hesitated for a moment and whispered to the admiral what to do if the imperial court did not approve it.

"Don't whisper anything. If you have anything to say, say it in front of everyone!"

The admiral was very unhappy with what Vice Admiral Ma whispered into his ear.

"this"

Lieutenant General Ma had no choice but to express his worries.

"My lord, you all know your good intentions, but it's just that the bannermen are different."

Ma Dayuan was telling the truth, and many soldiers in the crowd also thought of this section. To be honest, they all understood that the admiral could achieve this level, and they did not dare to expect that the flag-man could become one.

However, the admiral stood up, patted his butt, and said to everyone: "If the court doesn't approve, I, Jia Jia Shikai, will give everyone my salary! What's the difference between bannermen? We all work for the Qing Dynasty, so what's the difference? It's hard!"

In the eyes of everyone, I, Jia Jiashikai, a Manchurian, am not worthy of being your admiral, so I can’t stand to see you in my heart, okay!"

"Today I will give you an explanation. From today on, I will not care about other places. All our Sichuan Green Camp soldiers will be treated as regular soldiers of the Eight Banners!"

"grown ups!"

The crowd roared and knelt down, following the wind blowing the waves of wheat from east to west, and from south to north.

The ignorant child was also hugged by his parents and knelt down to the admiral.

"Get up, everyone, get up!"

The admiral lifted up the wounded soldiers who were kneeling one by one. His eyes fell on Lieutenant General Ma's face, and he said calmly: "Ma Dayuan, you are now the head of Chongqing Green Camp. In front of everyone in Chongqing Green Camp, what are you doing?"

If I tell you the truth, can I guarantee that the soldiers of the Green Camp will be paid every penny in the future?"

Ma Dayuan didn't say anything, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, sir, if I take a copper from my brothers, I, Ma Dayuan, will have no descendants!"

"good!"

Jia Liu looked at the crowd, "Did you guys hear that?"

"heard it!"

The crowd burst into loud cheers.

"No matter what kind of money it is, as long as it is distributed to the brothers, if you Ma Dayuan dares to take a piece of it, if the court does not kill you, I, the admiral, will kill you too!"

The admiral looked at the crowd and said, "Listen, everyone. As long as an official dares to bully you, don't be afraid. Go to Xiaozhai to find me. What I, Jia Jia Shikai, hate most in my life are corrupt officials! I, Jia Jia Shikai, have no other abilities.

, I still have the ability to chop off the heads of a few corrupt officials! As the admiral of Sichuan, if I can't make the decision for you, I might as well jump into the Jialing River to feed the bastards!"

"Sir, blue sky!"

Cui San and his wife shouted excitedly.

"Sir, blue sky!"

The shouts of thousands of people echoed through Xiaochang Dam.

Ma Dayuan secretly sent a signal to one of his subordinates, General Qian, who immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Follow the Admiral to the death!"

"Swear to follow the Admiral to the death!"

Wave after wave of sound, overwhelming

"Cui San, if you have time, you might as well take your wife and children to my place to play."

"Aunt Jiang, please take care of yourself. I will come to see you next year!"

"Master Chen, when I get back, I will ask someone to send you the Yunnan tobacco leaves I mentioned. The tobacco leaves are easy to smoke and not choking."

""

The Admiral is busy with military affairs and cannot stay in Chongqing for a long time. After the conference, he will go back to Xiaozhai to supervise the suppression of bandits.

But no one in Chongqing Green Camp could bear to leave the Admiral.

Even if the officers who maintained order asked everyone to go back, they refused to go back and just followed the admiral's horse.

The Admiral was also reluctant to give up and looked back three times.

It took the Admiral half a day to walk several miles to the riverside.

Afterwards, Jia Liu said to Yang Yuchun with emotion: "It's useless for you to talk to people in this world. It's useless to tell them what Confucius said about Chengren and Mencius said about righteousness. Don't paint cakes for others.

What a bright future, you can only let them see the benefits. If the benefits are big enough, it will be no problem for them to go to the Forbidden City with me."

Yang Yuchun seemed to understand: "Do you really want to buy the world with money?"

"Why not?"

Jia Liu laughed.

"Xiao Chunzi, there is nothing wrong with money, nor is it something unattractive. On the contrary, money is the most real thing in the world. As long as I can give the people real things, they will really work hard for me."

In Jia Liu's belief, money is everything.

Because money can allow people to live a good life, money can allow children to eat meat, money can allow soldiers to have no worries, money can buy better weapons and equipment, and money can also make this society more progressive.

Money is also an exciting thing.

Jia Liu smashed money for the sake of people's hearts, which means that he has to keep fighting for money.

Now, he is using the Qing Dynasty's money to buy his own hearts and minds.

Judging from the current situation, there are still ways to fill this hole.

But in the future, if the people of the Qing Dynasty are really going to be bought over, how can they continue to maintain it?

Jia Liu was not worried about this.

Because the wealth in the world does not belong to the Qing Dynasty, but to the world.

As long as you dare to think and act, there is plenty of money in the world.

The Jia Group replaced the Ai Group. No matter how corrupt this group is, as long as there are new interests there, there is no fear that this group will not move forward.

Now that the foundation has been laid, the next step will be to see the effect of Ma Dayuan's rectification of Chongqing Green Camp.

Before leaving, Jia Liu once again convened the members who had been transferred to Chongqing Green Camp to reiterate the "two no-nos" policy.

First, it is not allowed to deduct military pay;

Second, do not bully men and dominate women;

As long as these two things are achieved, the combat effectiveness of the Chongqing Green Camp will be greatly improved, and the cohesion of the people will also be greatly enhanced.

Just like he spent money to "buy" people's hearts in Chongqing Green Camp, Jia Liu also paid high salaries and generously supported the members of Gongjin.

In addition to the royal salary and rice and grain subsidies they received, they also received an additional share from the joint promotion meeting.

It's called double salary.

In addition, if members encounter financial difficulties, such as an unexpected emergency at home and need money urgently, they can apply to the association.

Lieutenant Commander Li Ping'an settled the accounts with the admiral.

Based on the military salary allocated by the imperial court to Chongqing Green Camp every year, the soldiers of the land and sea battalions together with the officers need more than 91,200 taels of silver every year.

In addition, about 20,000 taels are also paid for horse maintenance, boat repair fees, and other miscellaneous items.

Overall, Chongqing Green Camp needs about 110,000 taels of silver every year.

This does not include the wartime allotment money, disability money, and pension money.

The admiral also promised at the conference that the Chongqing Green Camp soldiers would be treated as flag soldiers, so the shortfall would be as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.
