Chapter 157
"Currently the imperial treasury is empty, and we haven't even got the payment for this expedition." Zhuge Xiaosheng changed the subject again, sighing.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard the words, what the hell does the old emperor mean? Let's go kill him, isn't it plausible that he doesn't even pay the army!
"But our Master Xiao said that he will never let the brothers die empty-handed, let alone let the brothers have any worries! So he decided to pay fifty taels of money for each of the brothers at the beginning of his own pocket. As a settling fee!" Zhuge Xiaosheng had another reversal later on.
The big guys were taken aback when they heard this, and then cheered in unison.
Before the army goes out, the soldiers will be given a sum of starting money, also known as the settlement fee, which allows the soldiers to fight with peace of mind and avoid worrying about their families.
But usually it's around ten taels of silver, and the highest is only twenty taels, but when Xiao Chen makes a move, it's fifty taels!
Can the big guy be unhappy?
"Lord Xiao has already ordered people to contact the officials in charge of the various post stations in Fengyang Mansion. If brothers want to send money back home, they can repair a letter later and hand it in together. I will immediately arrange for them to send it back urgently , the letter receipt from your family will definitely arrive before the departure." Zhuge Xiaosheng said again.
This is even more something that the big guy didn't expect. I didn't expect Master Xiao to be so caring. Everyone said that Master Xiao is righteous and his opponents are like brothers. What he said is true!
I don't know when the money will be issued?
"Look at you bastards, your eyes are so red when you hear that there is money! Then disband first, and follow your chiefs to the military supply office to collect the money in the order of the front and back later!" Zhuge Xiaosheng announced the dissolution.
But he didn't leave right away, instead he came down to chat with the big guys, he didn't have any airs of a general, he was completely different from the majesty just now.
In his words, in wartime I am a general and you are soldiers, but in normal times we are brothers...to avoid being too polite.
"General Zhuge, I want to bring something home, can it work?"
"General Zhuge, I can't read, what should I do if I can't write this letter?"
"General Zhuge, I'm just a bachelor and have no family. Can I pay back the settling fee?"
...
Zhuge Xiaosheng answered one by one patiently, "Of course, you don't know how much face our Master Xiao has? But don't go too far, you won't be ashamed if you bring a woman back with you?"
"What are you afraid of if you can't read? Go back and find your captain, they will write it for you, or you can go to Staff Ye Baiqing, or me if you can't. It's just that my handwriting is not as good as Staff Ye's. If you don't dislike it, just do it .”
"What the hell is a man who can't even get a wife? He's so fucking worthless! The money is given, but I advise you not to spend it recklessly, save it for later when you marry a wife."
Everyone was surprised to hear these words, General Zhuge, you don't really think we can come back alive, do you?
That can't be said for sure, as the saying goes, those who are stupid are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. Our brothers are even dying, so I don't believe that those fresh people are not afraid!
It is said that they are very fierce, no matter how fierce they are, can they be more fierce than the elite navy of Japan? Can it be fiercer than the Siamese armored guard? Can it be fiercer than the bandits in Black Tiger Mountain?
But in the face of Mr. Xiao, they are all tofu scum!
Your officers have all experienced it personally. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them later...
Let's go to Yanyun here, so high and low that we let those Xianbo cavalry know how powerful our Chinese men are, and with the heart of death, we will establish the majesty of China!
Zhuge Xiaosheng talked about Huaxia and Lord Xiao, but he never mentioned Dazhou or Li Wanjiang...
And full of foul language, it is quite in tune with the big guy.
Then someone asked, I heard that Master Xiao’s younger brother Xiao Ye is a bloodthirsty evil god, with steel and iron bones, and infinite strength, taking the head of a general from a million troops is like picking something out of a bag...
Is it real?
Zhuge Xiaosheng laughed, this brother asked a good question, that who, Xiao Ye, come over here, let the big guy know you.
"Why?" Xiao Ye pestered Wei Yuntian for a musket to play with, but Wei Yuntian refused to give it to him. He was writing ink, when he heard Zhuge Xiaosheng calling him, he hurried over.
"Fight." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Who are you fighting with?" Xiao Chen was about to touch the ax subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that they were all brothers, and there seemed to be no enemy.
"Listen up, everyone. No matter who you are, as long as you think you have the skills, you can come out and challenge Xiao Ye one-on-one. As long as you can beat him, the general will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!" Zhuge Xiaosheng shouted , immediately surrounded by hundreds of people.
It's not General Zhuge, are you kidding me? Is one thousand taels of silver real or fake?
of course it's true.
Zhuge Xiaosheng took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the officer at the side, "Can I still lie to you guys? As a witness, as long as you win, take it away!"
"I'll add another thousand taels." Ye Baiqing beside him also joined in the fun.
"I'll add one thousand taels too." Wen Shanchang said with a smile.
That is three thousand taels?
I rely on the instant excitement!
Don't say that Xiao Ye is just a skinny kid, even if he is really three-headed and six-armed King Kong Nezha, he still has to wrestle with him for a while!
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
Besides, when the big guys saw that the legendary Xiao Ye turned out to be like this, they didn't really believe in those legends. Someone must be exaggerating, or making false propaganda...
How could he be an evil spirit just by being so small? At best, it's a brat.
Immediately, dozens of tall and strong men stepped forward with their arms and sleeves rolled up.
But he was a little hesitant before doing it.
As we all know, Xiao Ye is Master Xiao's younger brother, what if his little arms and legs accidentally hurt him when he makes a move?
Even if Mr. Xiao is not surprised, we are embarrassed, aren't we?
Sure enough, Zhuge Xiaosheng suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "Oh no, it would be bad if we hurt someone in such a fight."
That's right, the big guys all nodded in agreement, their fists and feet have no eyes, if they hurt little General Xiao Ye, it would be embarrassing.
But I don't know that Zhuge Xiaosheng actually loves them...
That's better than strength. Zhuge Xiaosheng glanced at a cylindrical dismounting stone under the handsome platform. It seemed to weigh more than 400 catties, and it was it!
Regardless of the outcome with Xiao Ye, anyone who can lift this big rock will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
Fuck!
The dozens of people who stood up just now retreated more than half of them immediately. It is difficult to move such a heavy stone, but it is too difficult to hold it. The main thing is that this thing is very smooth, and no scratches are needed at all. .
But there are also those who are not reconciled with self-consciousness. They stood up and gestured for a long time with luck, but their faces were flushed and they could barely lift them up a little.
One of the boys even let out a fart because of too much force, which caused a lot of laughter.
What are you laughing at?
There is one for you to try!
