Chapter 916
Although the soldier said this from the heart and had no malice, he was heard by a Chinese soldier next to him and looked at the earthen leopard with disdain and said, "Look at what nonsense you are talking about? Are you qualified to be the ancestor of the great commander?"
The soldier then made a speech and quickly slapped his mouth, saying, "Look at my stinky mouth! Look at my stinky mouth, I can't fart."
At this time, Jingyun said justice: "You have no problem, so you go to eat. It's still a word, you can't waste as much as you eat or beat."
Dele! The soldiers agreed all the time, and then rushed to get food. They ate voraciously, like hungry ghosts. The Chinese soldiers beside them pointed and laughed at these local buns, who had never seen the world.
However, Liu Zongyong stopped these behaviors. He said: "Who was not like this before joining the Chinese Army? You must know that today's days are hard-won and must work hard and strive for them. Someone wants to destroy our lives. What should we do?"
The soldiers said loudly: "Fight with him!"
After entering the canteen, the soldiers of the Ming army were like wolves entering the flock of sheep. The wind swept the clouds and stuffed them into their mouths. They ate several bowls in a row. In the end, they saw that there were still grains of rice falling on the ground and picked them up one by one and put them in their mouths.
Since Jingyun Gong and others entered the Chinese Army camp, Liu Zhongyong has been accompanying him. When he saw the Ming army soldiers like this, he said to Jingyun Gong: "Jingyun Gong used this move. If you don't want these soldiers to join our Chinese Army, they will be anxious."
King Jingyun smiled and said, "I hope to do something smoothly and save more people. This is the greatest virtue." He saw that these soldiers had almost eaten, and then said, "Are you full of food for everyone? There is still not enough!"
The soldiers said in unison: "I'm full! Mr. Xie is giving me a treat."
Jingyun Gong said, "Since everyone is full, let's go to the camp and ask the soldiers about how the welfare benefits of our Chinese army are? Join our Chinese army and enjoy the same treatment. Can you surrender?"
The soldiers said in unison: "Yes! Yes! I'll do it! I'll do it for this meal. I have nothing to say. Whoever doesn't let us join, I'll be anxious with him!"
Jingyun Gong said in a difficult situation: "When you go back so soon, I'm afraid everyone will doubt the authenticity we are talking about, or go to the military camp to take a walk. Do you have any questions to ask?"
The soldiers said in unison: "There is no problem! There is no condition! Just arrange for us to join the Chinese Army as soon as possible. If anyone dares not believe it, then he can only say that the person's life is cheap and his fortune is poor, and he has no life to enjoy."
In the past, it was just a rumor, and everyone was skeptical, but now it has seen with their own eyes, so there is no doubt. Seeing that they are in the Chinese army, they are treated like ancestors and like masters, they can't help but envy these soldiers.
These people were thinking about what was the difference between them. Many soldiers shouted: "A good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not join the army. If he joins the army, he must be a Chinese soldier."
Immediately, many soldiers took off their Ming army uniforms and refused to leave here.
Seeing such a scene, Jingyun Gong and Liu Zhongyong looked at each other and smiled: "This is the case with people's hearts, big things can be accomplished."
Liu Zhongyong said: "My Liu family treats those who join the army well and finally gets blessings."
Jingyun said justice: "This is when the Liu family treats people as human beings, and they will naturally give respects."
Liu Zhongyong did not leave these people who took off their clothes and wanted to stay in the army without any shame, but sent them back. He said, "The conditions are extremely harsh. You can go and inquire about it. My Chinese army recruits soldiers, which is more strict than the landlords and old wealthy family recruits son-in-law. If you pass the adaptation and the whole army comes, the threshold will be much lower. Everyone goes back to promote and promote with their brothers, and strives to come together to share peace and wealth. After passing this village, there will be no store."
These big-headed soldiers were careless when they came. When they saw Liu Zhongyong wearing iron armor, they were obviously a general, and they didn't even polite. However, after eating a good meal from the Liu family army, they found that the welfare of others was good to the sky. Then they pleased each other, knelt down to Liu Zhongyong, and said, "I have met Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu! Hello, old man!"
Liu Zhongyong didn't want to eat this trick. He said, "Since everyone is here, if you have any questions, you can go and inquire, otherwise you will go back and say it truthfully. After eating and drinking, you will be destined to be destined. When you meet again in the future, you will be destined to be your subordinates."
This sentence met the appetite of these big-headed soldiers, and everyone said one after another: "I will definitely say all the good things when I go back."
These big-headed soldiers had a round belly and were satisfied with their stomachs. They went back with their stomachs spread out and satisfied.
When they returned to the military camp, most of the soldiers were no longer confident of standing guard or on duty, and were waiting anxiously at the door. Seeing that their envoys were back, they came to ask if the Chinese army was so good?
The soldiers were burping, and all of them were smelling flesh. They were vivid and expressed their experiences in the Chinese military camp with their eyes.
When people heard about these things, there was meat and rice in the Chinese army, and they were allowed to eat them. It was not white rice, white flour and steamed buns for you to eat, but the braised pork on a large plate, and big fish and meat were allowed to eat. Many people were shocked when they heard this, and they thought it was a fantasy. They said one after another: "Impossible, there is no such thing as raising soldiers in the world. They are not raising soldiers, but raising ancestors..."
Hearing these soldiers’ questions, the soldiers who came back looked at each other like beggars in the countryside, and they said, “Don’t you know that the Chinese army has a higher threshold for recruiting soldiers than for landlords and old wealthy families. They take advantage of everyone’s surrender. They only accept one and a half, and they don’t like them. As for those who say they don’t raise soldiers like this, you can go and take a look and you will gain insight.”
If it were heard before, everyone would definitely not believe it. There would be no such thing in the world. But now, they sent people they trust to see, so there would be no falsehood. Everyone was so happy that their hearts were as warm as a ball of fire, and they wanted to run to the opposite side immediately to be the soldier of the Chinese army.
Seeing that the morale and people in the military camp were so good, Yang Sichang said: "In fact, the Chinese army doesn't have to work so much. Now they attack, and we probably end up killing."
Hong Chengchou said: "The Eight-faced Buddha, the universe in his sleeve, is well-known."
Yang Sichang said: "The Liu family is rich and has reached such a level. Even the emperor's soldiers do not have such a way to eat. If he raises soldiers like this, will he not eat him poor?"
Hong Chengchou said: "I had such questions before, but after sending spies to conduct open and secret investigations, we came to a conclusion, that is, the Eight-faced Buddha, the universe in his sleeve, is well-deserved."
Yang Sichang became interested and said, "Anyway, there is no hurry, I'd like to hear about it."
Hong Chengchou said: "The soldiers in the Chinese army had extremely good food. The meals included fish and meat, chickens and ducks. Some of these chickens, ducks and fish were raised by their farms or production and construction corps, and some were purchased from local areas. On the surface, he spent a lot of money, and bought them a lot of money, but indirectly he raised a lot of people, such as cattle, pigs, chickens, and fish. These people made money and paid taxes to him. Such a virtuous cycle, if our court did this, he could force the emperor to sell his pants in a month, but the Liu family did this, the more he did it, the richer he became."
Yang Sichang said: "Sure enough, Liu Yuanqiao is worthy of being a businessman. This kind of business job is superb."
Hong Chengchou said: "The biggest difference between the Chinese Empire and the Ming Dynasty is that the main income of the Ming Dynasty comes from the land tax, which can only be digged from the ground. Liu Yuanqiao is a man with a broad vision and very powerful means, and his methods of doing business are even more powerful. Its main income comes from doing business. Commercial tax. Land tax only accounts for an extremely low part of it. If you go to a place controlled by the Chinese Army to understand their tax policies, you will find that their taxes are only one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty. When they collect such low taxes, the government is even richer."
Yang Sichang was not surprised by this. He also knew that the Chinese army was different from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty could only dig food in the soil. Although there were so-called commercial taxes, those who did business were all these literati and officials, and those who were officials were all tax-free and could not collect any taxes at all.
In the Chinese Empire, no matter who you are, no matter how big you are, you have to collect taxes. No one can be exempted from taxes. As a result, their commercial tax is several times that of the Damingtian land tax, which is enough to support their continuous wars.
Yang Sichang also knew the disadvantages of this, but he knew the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and even if he knew it, he could not change it.
The Liu family started out from the ocean, but the Ming Dynasty was better. For a policy of banning the sea, it has been fought for hundreds of years, but it still cannot achieve a result.
In fact, as long as people with a brain know what the sea means to the Ming Dynasty, they can earn more money for the Ming Dynasty. However, these are controlled by the officials and the nobles of the southeast. They do not want the power of the royal family and the imperial court to extend in this direction, which moves their cake. As a result, the local area is rich and the imperial court is so poor that it sounds like a jing.
So what if you know? With Yang Si's ability to sing, can't you still dare to touch other people's cakes? Not to mention that it was his Yang Sichang, even if he was as strong as Zhang Juzheng, he would eventually die and die, and would be devastated for thousands of years. This is also the result of Yang Sichang's discovery that the Ming Dynasty was no longer good and thinking about the change of appearance.
Because he found that the Ming Dynasty was deeply and could not be revitalized, any reform would touch the existing interest class, and these people would counterattack wildly, and it would be impossible for them to be carried out. The court could not even collect a commercial tax or a mining tax, let alone anything else.
