After listening to Li Xiaoxi's introduction, the generals felt envious again. Someone asked: "I wonder how much the Yingzhou Army pays them?"
After hearing this, Li Xiaoxi shook her head and said repeatedly: "There's no way to compare, there's no way to compare! I don't want to say it, I don't want to say it! If you tell me, you'll have to hit me to death!"
The generals were very curious and hurriedly pestered Li Xiaoxi to ask carefully. Li Xiaoxi said in frustration: "Originally, a certain person was proud of his title as 'Pingzhou Soldier and Horse Envoy'. After arriving in Pingzhou, he discovered that this title was nothing." —No, not even fart!"
"Oh, just say it quickly! Why are you hesitating? It makes the brothers anxious, you are really unworthy of a man!" The impatient man was filled with resentment and began to curse.
"Okay, let's close the tent and whisper, please don't spread it out. There are two types of salaries paid to military generals by the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, one is the rank salary, and the other is the rank salary. The rank salary is for those who hold actual military positions. Pay is divided into twelve levels from soldier, corps leader, team leader, team deputy, team leader, captain, deputy commander, commander, deputy commander, commander, deputy commander to the commander. The monthly pay increases by one for each level of promotion. The rank pay is the pay that should be received for the military rank awarded, starting from Peirong Xiaowei, Renyong Xiaowei, Yuhang Xiaowei, Xuanjie Xiaowei, Yihui Xiaowei, Zhiguo Xiaowei, Zhenwei Xiaowei, and Zhaowu Xiaowei are divided into eight levels. Each level increases the monthly salary by two guans. Take Brother Shan Yun as an example, your military commander is equivalent to the commander of the capital. If someone didn’t remember If I’m wrong, your rank is Zhaowu Xiaowei. If you add the two items together, you can get twenty-eight guan a month! And there is no credit!"
After hearing this, Liu Shanyun, who was cited as an example, immediately took a breath of air. According to the system of the Volunteer Army, his monthly salary is twelve dollars, but this is only the system in the Volunteer Army. Since he was transferred out of the Volunteer Army After being transferred to Ruzhou, Liu Shanyun actually did not receive a penny of salary. He has been working hard to feed and clothe his four hundred subordinates. Not only himself, but also his brothers have not been paid for two months.
Most of the people here had the same experience as Liu Shanyun. So there was a sound of inhalation in the tent, and the atmosphere suddenly became condensed.
Li Xiaoxi sneered and said: "Don't blame a certain joke for you and others. As a soldier in the Yingzhou Army, the most ordinary soldier can actually get a regular salary every month. After working for a year and a half, he will have at least three professional achievements. There are also other rewards. I heard that a Khitan man won some kind of medal, and he was awarded a hundred coins on the spot! A cart full of money, everyone, a cart full!"
All the generals in the tent were speechless. They all opened their mouths and thought about what "a cartload of money" would be like. Only Li Xiaoxi was left to continue the performance.
"Everyone, this is still a small number! I wonder if you have heard of it. Governor Li of Yingzhou organized an Eastern Affairs Association and included dozens of old brothers who first started following him into the association. This group of people really became big. Rich! I don’t know how much money those people got, but as for the Khitan guy I just mentioned, I heard that Zhengdanqian was just absorbed into it. Everyone, after getting the news, do you know how much he can get in a year?"
Li Xiaoxi's seductive voice echoed in the big tent. Someone immediately urged: "Speak quickly!"
Li Xiaoxi stretched out a slap and waved it forward and backward in front of the generals.
Someone asked: "Fifty strings?"
Li Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at him with contempt.
Someone else asked with a trembling voice: "Could it be... five hundred strings?"
Li Xiaoxi sneered and finally gave the answer: "Fifteen hundred guans!"
After the tent was icy for a brief moment, a burst of heated noise suddenly broke out.
"It's impossible! It doesn't make sense!"
“Where did Yingzhou get so much money?”
"A Khitan? A Khitan gets one thousand five hundred guan! God! Ancestor!"
Some even lamented: "Look how Governor Li treats his old brothers? Look how our commander treats our group of people..."
"Everyone...everyone...everyone!" Li Xiaoxi took pictures of the table several times before suppressing the noise. Seeing that everyone was focusing on him again, he spoke again: "Everyone, this is a business meeting.
Don't have extravagant hopes for the time being, it's something we can't touch. But I discovered another way to make money provided by Yingzhou. I have some gossip that Yingzhou is issuing policies and is preparing to let some soldiers withdraw from the battle formation.
Come down. Well, Yingzhou said that this is called "soldiers' demobilization", and it is aimed at those of us in various states who suppress the army. Have you heard about the official road in Yingzhou? It is wide and flat, and merchants like to use the official road when traveling. It is convenient
, fast and labor-saving, but not everyone is willing to pay the toll, so Yingzhou is planning to set up some "security companies" - damn, the name is too confusing, well, the important responsibility of these companies is to be responsible
Check those merchants and travelers who evade tolls. Once discovered, they will be fined double the value of the tolls, half of which will be handed over to the chief historian, and the remaining half will be yours!"
After Li Xiaoxi finished speaking, he saw doubts in the eyes of all the generals. After thinking about it, he understood what everyone was doubting. He immediately sneered and said: "Don't think this number is small. Take the official road from Pingzhou to Liucheng as an example. Last year
In one year, more than 3,000 guan of tolls were collected, and the amount of missing tolls was at least 5,000 guan! If this thing could be done well, this useless company would earn thousands of guan in a year, which would be no joke!
You are all leaders of the army, so of course you have to take care of your brothers, but you can’t run away with your annual income of thousands of dollars!"
There was no more uproar in the tent, because everyone was drooling, and there was no time to make a fuss. The income of a thousand dollars that Li Xiaoxi mentioned may be there in the first year, but with the tightening of sanctions, the number of business trips that evade fees will inevitably decrease significantly.
, it won’t be like this anymore. But at this moment, who has time to settle such detailed accounts?
In fact, this was Li Xiaoxi's real purpose. When he met with Duyu named Gao, the other party gave him a way out. He established the Youyan Security Corporation, which would be established alongside the Liaodong Security Corporation. One of them would be responsible for the Youyan states within the pass.
One is responsible for the Liaodong area outside the customs. As for the confiscation of tolls, it is just one of the security company's businesses.
In Li Xiaoxi's eyes, these state generals in front of him are all future managers of the state branches under Youyan Security Corporation. Among them, Liu Shanyun, the Ruzhou military envoy who has the closest relationship with him and is the most powerful, has already been appointed by him.
Among the candidates, he will become the vice president of Youyan Security Corporation.
While Li Xiaoxi was working hard for his Youyan Security Corporation at the junction of Jizhou and Pingzhou, Guo Bingcheng, the general magistrate of Lulong Jiedu Prefecture, was visiting Youzhou generals from door to door. Accompanying him to each prefecture were
Qian Wuchang, chief of the Commercial and Trade Section of Yingzhou Governor Shifang, who secretly sneaked into Youzhou, and Yu Lai, the official of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
Qian Wuchang was originally the third shopkeeper of a shop in Youzhou. By chance, he went to Liucheng to sell goods. Then by chance, he took the first Yingzhou civil servant examination. As a result, he became a member of the Yingzhou governor's Shifang Commerce and Trade Department.
For more than two years, Qian Wuchang worked hard, worked diligently on official duties, and made great contributions in the leap-forward development of Yingzhou's industrial and commercial undertakings. At the end of Tianfuyuan, he was promoted to chief of the commerce section.
Yu Lai was an important backbone of the original "Rong Ge Group". After Rong Ge's incident, he was favored by Gao Mingbo and absorbed into the Yuhou Division. After the Yuhou Division was restructured into the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, Yu Lai
He showed his expertise in espionage and was gradually promoted to the post of Supervisor of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
The main purpose of the two sneaking into Youzhou this time is to promote the concept of "commercial joint-stock companies" to major general families. Needless to say, Qian Wuchang is a practitioner of Yingzhou's vigorous development of "commercial joint-stock companies", and Yu
Lai is a major shareholder who holds shares in many workshops and shops. He is also a director of the "Yingzhou Social Development Welfare Fund" and is a beneficiary of the "Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd.". These two people came to Youzhou to promote the "Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd."
"Concept, get twice the result with half the effort.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Volunteer Army's "Eastern Expedition", Guo Bingcheng took Qian Wuchang and Yu Lai to visit everywhere. The first place they went to was Gaofu.
Gao Mansion is the residence of the late Youyan's number one general, the White Horse Silver Spear Gao Siji. Now the person in charge is the Gao Liu family, that is, Gao Xinggui, Gao Xingzhou's mother. The Gao brothers were defeated by Liu Shouguang and are still in Gui
Zhou licked his wounds, while Gao Liu and his family members continued to stay in Youzhou.
Although the Gao family seems to be safe and sound in Youzhou City, they have long been unable to enter and leave Youzhou freely. In fact, they are effectively under house arrest in this big city. If it were not for the huge threat from Yingzhou, Liu Zhiwen considered the need to stabilize the morale of the army and went to the city.
Liu Shouguang said that he was afraid that the Gao family had already been wiped out. Therefore, the Gao Liu family knew very well that although their lives were not in danger for the time being, they were like sitting on firewood. Once the threat from Yingzhou was eliminated, the family's destruction was inevitable.
Qian Wuchang and Yu Lai put forward two suggestions. The first is to expand the business cooperation between Yingzhou and the Gao family and strengthen the operation of the two trade routes from Lulong to the southern Jianghuai River Basin and from Lulong to Hedong. The second is to absorb including
The children of the Gao family, including brothers Gao Xinggui and Gao Xingzhou, joined the army. After training at the Bailangshan Military Academy, they entered the future Lulong Army. Li Chengzhong promised to ensure that the children of the Gao family would at least receive a capital commander and a deputy.
There are thirteen actual military positions including capital commander and envoy, the lowest of which is no less than the imperial captain.
Of course, the Gao family must disband the soldiers from the rear of the mountain. The strong ones will choose to join the army, and the weak ones will be arranged to enter reserve camps or security companies. From now on, the Gao family will no longer have private soldiers.
For such conditions, the Gao Liu family actually does not have much room for maneuver. It is not easy to ensure that the Gao family can survive the crisis safely and continue to maintain its financial path, let alone
There is a certain amount of military position. Gao Liu is very smart, so he did not bargain in the general direction. After carefully asking about the military system of the Yingzhou Army and the operation method of the trading joint-stock company, he nodded and agreed, only in the details.
Strive for some more benefits.
After the negotiation was completed, Gao Liu's handwritten letter fell into the hands of Guo Bingcheng, and then Guo Bingcheng secretly sent his family members to Guizhou overnight.
