The soldiers of Great Song had no honor.
There were no benefits at all.
No money, no status.
Other than that insignificant amount of military pay, there was nothing else.
Once Zhao Kai decided on the plan, he first set the minimum monthly salary of the Great Song soldiers at Yiguan Qian, which was equivalent to the treatment of the Great Song's elite imperial guards.
This was only the beginning.
In ancient times, the most difficult thing to do for the common people was to pay taxes.
Now, as long as there was a soldier in the family, these two taxes had to be exempted.
Don't look at this small privilege.
This was also the beginning of the change in the soldiers of the Great Song.
It wasn't that Zhao Kai didn't want to do more, but that was the extent of his authority.
The military system reform of the various prefectures had to continue.
He only wanted elite soldiers who could fight, not the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Other than the Qingzhou Prefecture, the number of troops stationed in the Daming Prefecture was reduced from four thousand to two thousand.
In the absence of external wars, a prefecture with two thousand soldiers was enough.
In addition.
It seemed like the number of prefecture soldiers had decreased, but their combat strength had increased.
After Lu Zhishen announced the recruitment announcement.
All the men in the square were excited.
"The monthly salary is consistent, and there's no corvee and no agricultural taxes? This treatment is not bad!"
"The Imperial Court should have let Yun Wang be the Grand Marshal of the world long ago.”
"Great monk, I don't trust you, I trust Yun Wang, I'm here to sign up!”
"Big monk, I can lift 600 pounds and exchange two moves!”
For a time, the men who wanted to sign up were like carps crossing the river.
Thunderflame Qin Ming was overjoyed.
Wouldn't his 4,000 prefecture soldiers be secured?
Looking at the lively recruitment scene.
Wang Qing and the people sent by Tian Hu still had lingering fears.
The heavily-guarded Qingzhou Prefecture gave them no chance to make a move.
The sudden disappearance of Fang La's group made them even more suspicious.
It was better to go back early.
Go back and tell your masters that the imperial court has produced an amazing marshal.
There would be a fierce battle between them and the Imperial Court sooner or later.
It was better to prepare early.
It was as if he had come quietly and left dejectedly.
However, her mood was different from when she came.
It would be much heavier when he returned.
If the imperial court had such a sharp military marshal, they would be able to mobilize all the soldiers in the world to encircle and suppress them.
Could they withstand it?
The appearance of the cavalry and infantry troops from the Qingzhou Prefecture was enough to shock everyone.
Chao Gai and Wu Yong of Liangshan had also retreated with their brothers.
Their trip to the Qingzhou Prefecture this time was full of gains.
Although he didn't have the chance to save Song Jiang.
They had found a bright future for Liangshan.
When Chao Gai and Wu Yong were in the inn, they were describing the next plan of Mount Liang to the Ruan brothers, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, and Gongsun Sheng.
The leaders were also very excited.
As long as one's brain wasn't bad, one would understand that Liangshan had embarked on a broad road.
They were glad but also afraid.
If Zhao Kai didn't favor them and give them special treatment, they would have died.
Where was the future of Liangshan?
Just like the Three Mountains Gathering of Righteousness in Qingzhou Prefecture, attacking the prefecture, breaking through the county, and raising an army to rebel?
Then, they were annihilated by the imperial court's army and walked onto the guillotine!
It was too terrifying.
This was the best situation. They did not have to rely on the Imperial Court and be under the jurisdiction of others.
He was still free on Liangshan.
The brothers were still gathered together, but they could also expand their territory and build a business empire.
Lidi Taisui, the second son of the Ruan family, chuckled.""Brother Heavenly King, I have always hated the government, but now I feel that Yun Wang is really not bad!”
Wu Yong was also quite emotional." I wonder what kind of virtue and ability our Liangshan has to be favored by Yun King. If we don't seize this opportunity, our brothers will blame us."”
"Under the leadership of Brother Heavenly King, we're going to do a big job this time.”
"Wang Qing, Tian Hu, and the others will be destroyed sooner or later, but our Liang Mountain can rely on Yun King and soar.”
Chao Gai also nodded heavily." Advisor Jun is right. Although we didn't save Song Jiang this time, His Highness will spare his life. I hope he will reflect on his mistakes and atone for his sins in the next five years. I hope he will personally bring him up the mountain in five years!"”
As for Song Jiang, Hua Rong, Tiger Fighter Li Zhong, and Little Tyrant Zhou Tong.
At this moment, he had already been brought to Zhao Kai's official residence.
He had to walk through the gates of hell.
The four of them were much more mature than before.
It was not easy to escape death.
They didn't understand why Yun King would let them off at such a crucial moment.
After all, there was a huge difference between a mastermind and an assistant.
After removing the shackles, the few of them waited in a room for Yun King's summon.
"I didn't expect to be able to survive this time," Hua Rong said in a low voice."It's really an honor to travel the world with Brother Gongming.”
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong also nodded repeatedly."It's hard to say, we've benefited from big brother Guang Ming's glory. Yun Wang only spared us because of big brother.”
Song Jiang hurriedly said," Brothers, you are too kind. Yun King is right. We are indeed different from the Brocade Tiger Yan Shun and Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying. At least we have never killed the innocent. This is the main reason why we survived."”
"No matter what, we have to cherish this opportunity.”
"Traveling the world, working for the people of the world, helping those in need, this is much better than being in prison.”
At this moment, the door opened.
A petite figure walked in.
Everyone hurriedly stood up.
"Little sister, why are you here?" Hua Rong suddenly widened his eyes.”
Only then did he suddenly remember that the village had been destroyed and his family had been raided.
The family members on top were also scattered.
Previously, he was worried about his sister.
He didn't expect to meet her here.
Hua Xiaomei came to her brother and said happily,""Seeing that elder brother is fine, this little sister can rest assured and report to elder brother that this little sister has already been sold into the wang fu as a slave and is now a maid by his highness 'side.”
"What?"
Hua Rong's face sank." Did His Highness force you to be a maid?"”
"No?"
Hua Xiaomei shook her head." I was the one who had no choice but to sell myself into the Prince's mansion. His Highness is a good person. Brother, you don't have to worry."”
Hua Rong's expression flickered.
At this time, Song Jiang said,"Brother Hua Rong, it is her fortune to be able to enter the Imperial Residence and stay by His Highness 'side."”
"Do you know that with your prince's current status, there are many young ladies from prestigious families who want to stay by his side as maids, but they don't have the chance.”
"It is the good fortune of your Hua family that little sister Hua is able to stay by his highness 'side.”
Hua Rong finally understood and nodded,""Brother Gongming is right. I was confused!”
"Little sister, when you are by his highness 'side, you must serve him well, but you must not be lazy!”
(Hua Rong is Song Jiang's brainless fan. Even Brother Gongming's fart smells good.)）
