The whole room was dull for half, and after a long time Geng Bingyi trembled his lips and said, "Master Qianhu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Nonsense, don't you know what I said?" Yang Feng rolled his eyes: "I am setting you food and salary. Are you anything you are not satisfied with?"

"Satisfied...the bastard is not satisfied."

All the officers in the room were stunned. According to the standards set by Yang Feng, ordinary soldiers would pay one tael of silver a month and three liters of food (40 kilograms). This would be enough for a military household to support a family of three to four every month. Such treatment would be even the most elite battalion in the Ming Dynasty today. In addition, Yang Feng also said that everyone's weapons and armor were all covered by thousands of households. This is not a military household, it is simply a raising ancestors!

"Sir, do you take this seriously?"

At this time, Cao Yingmao, who had just been cleaned up by Yang Feng, also struggled to get up from the ground and asked loudly.

"Nonsense, what are the benefits of lying to you, a poor man? Do you think you have 100 kilograms of stinky meat?" Yang Feng kicked Cao Yingmao impatiently, "What are you doing here? Wait for me to give you silver? You are just a hundred households. You have to die of eight taels of silver and one stone of food every month. If you have too much, you will definitely not have it. Do you understand?"

After hearing Yang Feng's words, Cao Yingmao was stunned for a while and asked with some trembling questions: "Sir, can I get money and food?"

Seeing Cao Yingmao's unbelievable appearance, Yang Feng was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he turned around and returned to his seat. Cao Yingmao wanted to go forward and ask his brother to understand, but he was the one who had been anxious next to him and stood up and forced him back.

After Yang Feng walked back to his seat, he glanced at everyone and suddenly smiled, "What, don't you believe me about what I said?"

"this……"

As the highest official position among the people, except Yang Feng, Geng Bingyi sighed and smiled bitterly: "It's really a bit unbelievable. Do you know how much silver and food you have to spend every month? Are we poor military households worth your spending so much money to raise?"

"I am not a fool, of course I know!" Yang Feng waved his hand disdainfully, "I have calculated that this will cost more than 2,000 taels of silver spent on you every month, and nearly 300 stones of food, which will be more in a year. But..."

Speaking of this, Yang Feng's voice suddenly became louder, "You must remember that the world will not lose money and food in vain, and I am not a charity hall. After the Chinese New Year, all soldiers over the age of 16 and 35 will have to retrain every day. I will train a tiger and wolf army to defend my official's industry! The remaining military families also have to work, repair canals, farm fields, etc. Of course, all of this is rewarded and will not be done in vain. The specific charter will be announced after the New Year!"

After hearing Yang Feng's words, many people showed a definite expression on their faces. It turned out that Lord Yang asked everyone to guard the house and work for him. But it was strange. After hearing this, everyone was relieved of their hearts. Geng Bingyi and several officers looked at each other, and the hearts they were originally holding were slowly relieved.

This is normal. Otherwise, there would be no such good things in this world. They are giving money and food. I really think that they are reincarnated by a saint. They spend such a great price to pay and give weapons and armor. The relationship is to everyone work hard for him. But this is the truth. If you take the job of someone else, you have to work hard for him. Isn’t this the case in ancient times? What’s more, the price offered by Lord Yang is high enough.

In this way, it was supposed to be a happy banquet that everyone ate a little uneasy. Everyone was stunned by the bombshell thrown by Yang Feng. Everyone hurriedly ate some food, drank a few sips of wine and said goodbye one after another. Yang Feng did not stop everyone. He knew that everyone needed time to digest everything he said.

That night, the entire Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households were shocked, and the most shocked were the military households who had no food and clothing. They had originally had nothing to do with them, they could only make a living by working as tenants for officers, working as hard labor or even begging. Now they are just changing their employers for Lord Yang. Who is working with, they are not doing anything, but there are also people who are doubtful. Each sergeant gives one or two taels of real salary and three liters of food every month. Such treatment can be compared with the most elite battalions on the nine sides. Can Lord Yang afford so many people?

In this way, amidst the slightest doubts, Su Jin began his first reform in this era.

Yang Feng's first step was to select sergeants to reorganize the army. After several days of selection, Yang Feng selected a total of 826 sergeants. Moreover, Yang Feng said that the selected sergeants were only temporary and had to undergo three months of training after the Chinese New Year. Only those who passed the training could eventually stay in the team, and those who failed would play in the farm to farm and repair the canals.

Although many people expressed doubts about Yang Feng's actions, all the doubts were suppressed under Yang Feng's attack on money and food. After all, the world was the biggest food. Yang Feng gave them all food and salary, and that was their boss. No matter what he wanted to do, they would just follow him...

The Qianhu House in front of Jiangdongmen is Mochou Lake, and the Yangtze River is behind it. There is naturally no doubt that the abundant water resources are natural. However, in recent years, due to the disrepair of water conservancy, many of the fertile fields in Qianhu House have been in short supply. Moreover, because the water level of the Yangtze River is relatively low, water intake and irrigation has become a problem. Therefore, the first thing Yang Feng did after formally took office was to mobilize the military households to repair the water conservancy, and he seized the time to come to Nanjing City.

"Mr. Yang, is this the treasure you dedicate to the Emperor?"

In a private room in Donglai Yinlou, Shi shopkeeper widened his eyes as he looked at the things placed on the table, his mouth was wide open enough to stuff a duck egg, and murmured at Cao Dazhong beside him.

This is a reduced-type wooden house. Inside the wooden house, there are all beds, bedding, coffee tables and even stools, tables and chairs. There are also a few vivid women inside. What surprised Cao Dazhong even more was that if this thing shines, it will emit a dazzling light when it lights up, and there is a clockwork on it. After tightening the clockwork, it will sound a pleasant vague sound. The women in the room will dance gracefully. When they first saw this thing, Cao Dazhong even thought that this place was a fairyland.

"The skillful work... is really a skillful work!"

Cao Dazhong, who was standing beside him, was also amazed. He no longer knew what to use to describe this treasure. At this time, he could already determine how surprised Emperor Tianqi would be when he sent this thing into the palace.

"Yang Feng, you have made great contributions this time...you have made great contributions!"

Cao Dazhong murmured to himself while imagining the benefits he got after offering this treasure, without paying attention to Yang Feng standing beside him.
