Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Four His Grass Mustard, My Treasure
At the gate of Shenji Camp, after listening to Zhao Hao's declaration of honor, Hu Shouren and others looked at Qi Jiguang in disbelief.
I don't know what joking this guy is.
But the coach pressed his hands on Zhao Hao's shoulders and looked at him with an equally incredible look, his voice changing tone.
"Why? Why are you willing to do this, thankless thing? What does those people have to do with you?"
Hu Shouren and others followed Qi Jiguang to fight in the south for many years, but they had never seen the general lose his composure so much.
But they fully understand why the Grand Marshal lost his composure.
Because of the resettlement of retired soldiers, it is always a thorn that penetrates the hearts of all the generals of the Qi family!
Because the Qi family army is different from the military households in the garrison, they are mostly Yiwu miners recruited by Qi Jiguang.
Military households have served in the army for generations. At least the country has the protection of birth, old age, sickness and death, so they will not starve to death. However, once the soldiers of the Qi family leave the army, there is no guarantee.
It’s okay if you can save money by killing enemies and go home to buy some land. Those who have not saved up their savings can’t even go home to farm, so they can only go back and continue to be miners...
When the generals thought of the past robes that defended their country, in order to support their family, they could only return to the mine with pain and worked day and night, and the generals felt like a knife.
Not to mention those who were injured, disabled and lost their ability to work in the war. How should they live after spending that limited settlement fee? The generals dare not think about it...
It’s not that Qi Jiguang doesn’t want to help them solve their livelihood, he wants to solve it in his dreams. But he really doesn’t have that ability!
Wang Rulong, Jin Ke and Zhu Jue were stripped of their military uniforms because of this incident...
"I said that national heroes cannot let blood and cry." Zhao Hao grinned in pain and patted Qi Jiguang's hands like pliers. "It's going to be broken."
"Oh." Qi Jiguang realized that he had hurt Mr. Zhao, so he quickly let go of his hand.
"And it happens that I am very rich." Zhao Hao rubbed his shoulders, hissed and gasped, and said: "Building a nursing home for disabled soldiers in Taihu Lake and arranging a good business for the retired soldiers is just a simple task, not a difficult task."
"It may be a small effort to the young master, but for Qi, it is the greatest guilt in my heart." Qi Jiguang said as he took two steps back and gave Zhao Hao a big gift.
Hu Shouren and others also quickly got off the horse and wanted to salute Zhao Hao with the general.
"I said, don't let me live longer!" Zhao Hao turned around and got on the horse, leaving a sentence: "Please go to my house with Zhang Jian tomorrow!"
After saying that, he whipped the horse's buttocks and ran away with his disciples and the two boxes of swords and guns.
"Dr. Zhao, on behalf of all the soldiers, I am very grateful for your kindness!" Qi Jiguang still brought the generals and gave a solemn salute to Zhao Hao's back.
Then Qi Jiguang and his generals stood up and watched Zhao Hao disappear into the Xizhimen where the sunset was.
The generals then withdrew their gaze and looked at Qi Jiguang.
"General, that kid isn't talking big, right?"
"Does he have that ability?"
"It's not a big talk." Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "Dr. Zhao is the major shareholder of Lugouqiao Coal Farm and Xishan Coal Industry. I heard that he also has a business in Yangzhou, Jinling, so he can at least give a net worth of one million taels."
"Is he so rich so young?" the generals couldn't help but sigh. But their reaction was not strong, because the number of million taels was already too big for them.
"Then it shouldn't be difficult to support our brothers who are going home." Hu Shouren scratched his head and said, "But what does he mean? He doesn't want them to take a shower?"
"Yes, what is he trying to do?" Qi Jiguang was puzzled and said: "Is there really a pure person in this world who is separated from the low-level people and devoted himself to others?"
"What if he doesn't care. He doesn't want to rebel, right?" Hu Shouren said carelessly.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qi Jiguang sank his face and scolded: "What era is it now? Who will have that kind of hysteria?"
As he said that, General Qi looked solemn: "Dr. Zhao and his science sect are the most loyal royalist party!"
"Mr. General. Don't be angry. Old Hu has been making such a joke." Hu Shouren quickly laughed and slapped his chest and said, "Young Master Zhao is willing to solve our worries for us. I, Old Hu, am grateful! After the fight, who dares to say that Mr. Zhao is no, I will kill him!"
"As long as you don't talk nonsense, who else will talk nonsense?" the generals cheered.
"Hi, don't you slap someone in the face." Hu Shouren and his comrades laughed and walked towards the camp with Qi Jiguang.
"By the way, the Grandmaster." Suddenly, the short and concise Wu Weizhong asked, "That little... Mr. Zhao said, are you planning to resettle Lao Wang and the other three?"
"It will only be higher than Wu Yu, and it will definitely not be lower than him." Qi Jiguang replied in a low voice.
"hiss!"
"Hiss!" But when Hu Shouren and other guys took a breath, they finally felt it.
"What?" Qi Jiguang said in confusion: "Have you asked Wu Yu, how much does he have monthly money?"
"Yes." Hu Shouren nodded and said, "I'm naive, he is now the security supervisor, and he's 100 taels of silver a month. What's the thirteenth salary at the end of the year?"
"One hundred taels of silver per month?" Qi Jiguang also opened his mouth wide.
You should know that if a first-rank official’s annual salary is all converted into silver, it will only cost more than 1,000 taels.
A security chief of Xishan Company actually takes more than a first-rank official?
OK, this comparison is actually ridiculous...
After all, first-rank officials will not take that little salary seriously, and they just focus on serving the Ming Dynasty.
However, for most civil and military officials, this income is already absolutely attractive.
"Wouldn't the three of Lao Wang be blessed in disguise?" Several generals said with a gaze: "His grandma is really lucky."
Among the three, Wang Rulong, who has the highest official position, has a salary of more than 200 taels of silver a year. If he can earn one year in two months, he will not be able to die of happiness?
"Or, let's follow us too." Hu Shouren winked and half-true and half-falsely encouraged everyone to say.
In fact, this is not just a joke. After seven years of hard fighting against the Japanese in the southeast, the Qi family army has become more or less tired of war from top to bottom.
Otherwise, most of the soldiers would not have chosen to retire and did not follow the north.
"Who dares?" Qi Jiguang laughed and scolded, pricking the group of unintentional guys and said, "Dr. Zhao respects heroes, not bears who are not unintentional!"
As he said that, he ordered in a deep voice: "With my permission, no soldiers in the army are allowed to cause trouble to Dr. Zhao. Have you heard of it?!"
"Yes!" Hu Shouren and others hurriedly held their heads and chests up, and responded loudly.
If Qi Jiguang didn't kill this hole, he would be worried overnight that all his old subordinates would change jobs to Xishan Company...
How could that general, a general, besides the general, suppress the demons and monsters of the Northern Army?
"Find out the list of disabled soldiers who have been discharged from the army for me." Qi Jiguang ordered Hu Shouren again.
"Hey, right at hand, I saw it yesterday." Hu Shouren nodded quickly.
"Let's go through it." Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "You can't throw people to Dr. Zhao all the time, as that would be too irresponsible."
"This is the reason." Hu Shouren naturally had no objection.
If Mr. Zhao heard this, he would definitely jump straight into a hurry.
Who said this is the reason? Do you look down on me? Wouldn't you give it to me? I don't need you to be responsible for me!
Do you know why this young master has not come to Shenji Camp for a long time? Are you waiting for the orders of the Ministry of War to wait for the three generals to recover from their freedom?
This young master is already envious of General Qi’s veterans, it’s not been a day or two...
