The problem of weapons was just a passing topic that Zhang Xueming had mentioned. There was still a very important problem that needed to be solved.
That was the salary system for soldiers.
In this era of warlords, everyone chose to join the army because they wanted to make a living and also because they wanted money.
The reason why he didn't do this before.
Firstly, it was because they did not have money. Secondly, these soldiers were summoned by the system, so they could temporarily ignore the issue of salary.
However, things were different now.
The soldiers summoned by the system were no different from humans. They had the same emotions and desires. They also needed to eat, drink, and pee. They also needed to build a family and integrate into society.
Therefore, he took this opportunity to solve the problem of the salary structure.
As for the problem of money, he would think of a way.
For a person who owned the system, how could he be stumped by the problem of money?
Zhang Xueming decided on a tone.
Ordinary soldiers were divided into three grades, namely, second-grade, first-grade, and high-grade. They were paid 10, 12, and 15 yuan per month respectively.
As for the sergeants, they were 20, 22, and 25, while the lieutenants were 30, 50, 70, and 90 respectively.
A major general's salary would start at 100 yuan, and a major general's salary would start at 500 yuan.
This salary was quite good. Even the treatment of the national army could not compare.
An ordinary soldier of the national army would only earn six or seven yuan a month.
And it would be good enough if they could get half of it.
Zhang Xueming's post was real.
Of course, this treatment was for the frontline combat troops. For the second-line combat troops, the soldiers were basically 1-2 dollars lower, and the non-commissioned officers and above were basically reduced.
However, this treatment was already the highest in the country.
According to this standard, each infantry division of the Northeast Army would require about 300,000 yuan per month, which would be more than 3 million yuan per year.
If it was a frontline battle force, the monthly expenditure would be around 400,000 yuan, including the military pay. That would be 5 million yuan a year.
Looking at this salary structure, Zhang Xueming felt a slight headache.
Next, he had to think of a way to earn money.
After taking down Jin Zhou, he had defeated many traitors and puppet soldiers, as well as some other spoils of war.
He did have one or two million in his hands, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
However, the most important problem now was to solve the problem of the government structure.
As for the reorganization, he would leave it to Jiang Fangzhen.
He immediately called Wang Yizhe and arranged for a secret meeting in Tianjin tomorrow.
A new day had arrived, and a new check-in was opened.
"You have successfully signed in. You have received 100 LeFH105mm Howitzers, 200 Howitzers, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition.”
After seeing the rewards, Zhang Xueming lost interest. It seemed that his luck today was not very good.
Although this model of Krupp's 105mm howitzer had good performance.
But in Zhang Xueming's eyes, it was just a light howitzer.
He was more interested in the 150mm heavy artillery.
Moreover, the military already had the American M101 howitzer, and its performance was not bad either.
Therefore, these 200 techniques seemed to be of little value.
They could be assigned to the northeast artillery unit.
Just as he was about to sign in again, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
If he didn't need it, he could sell it.
In this era, the profits from selling cannons were extraordinarily high.
Furthermore, this 105mm caliber howitzer was only a light cannon to Zhang Xueming.
However, to many warlords, this thing was a genuine heavy cannon.
Wasn't he short of money now?
He could sell half of the cannons, and at least he wouldn't have to worry about the army's pay for the time being.
Moreover, after getting the money, he could carry out bold and decisive construction of Jinzhou.
After the completion of the Jinzhou Iron and Steel Plant, he had another way to earn money.
However, he would have to think about who to sell it to. He definitely couldn't sell it to Xiao Liuzi.
This thing was very popular, and there was no need to worry about selling it. Moreover, Zhang Xueming already had an idea in his mind.
"You have successfully signed in. Congratulations on obtaining a cement factory with a production capacity of one million tons.”
[Remark: The cement factory needs to be built in a location chosen by the host. After confirmation, the cement factory will be completed within a month.]
The power, workers, and raw materials needed by the cement factory must be provided by the system itself. The system will not be responsible for it.
After seeing this reward, Zhang Xueming was delighted.
If he wanted to carry out a bold and decisive construction of Jinzhou, in addition to steel, cement was also indispensable.
A cement factory with a capacity of one million tons was basically enough for the entire three eastern provinces.
The cement production in the Republic of China was barely a million tons per year.
Zhang Xueming's cement factory had the annual output of all the cement factories in the Republic of China combined.
Then, Zhang Xueming secretly set off for Tianjin.
Before he left, he had also instructed Jiang Fangzhen.
"I'm going to buy a batch of cannons, 100 of them, 105 caliber. Contact the warlords and Jinling.
If you want, you can go to Tianjin in a week.”
If he sold it to a certain force, the price would be relatively fixed.
If they wanted to maximize profits, they had to compete.
Therefore, Zhang Xueming was prepared to let the highest bidder win.
By auctioning them in batches, they could maximize their profits.
Selling a cannon for 50,000 dollars was definitely not a problem.
After all, this was not an ordinary 105mm howitzer. Its range could reach 12 kilometers.
These 100 doors could easily make a few million.
Moreover, there were also cannonballs, which cost dozens of dollars each.
In a luxurious mansion in Tianjin.
After coming to Tianjin, Zhang Xueming adhered to the principle of not going out.
In this era, there were all kinds of assassinations.
He had made Xiao Liuzi so miserable, and the Japanese hated him to the bone.
Once they knew that he had come to Tianjin, it was hard to guarantee that they would not do something crazy.
A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. He still valued his own life very much.
Wang Yizhe walked in and said respectfully to Zhang Xueming,""Commander, he's here. He's waiting for you in the living room. Do you want to go over now?”
"Let's go. We can't let him wait too long." Zhang Xueming nodded.”
