Chapter 209 Beggar
Lin Zhongsheng did not object to the fact that I wanted to recruit guards by myself. He saw my doubts and told me bluntly that the guards were my confidant and should have recruited them by themselves. Recruiting guards by himself is not considered as pulling the mountain.
"I can recruit people, but I can't let others work for me for nothing..."
"Don't worry, the military pay for the new infantry regiment will be distributed by the New Seventh Corps according to the standards of the Guards Corps. Before the reorganization of the New Seventh Corps is over, the military pay for all reorganized troops will be distributed by the Ministry of National Defense."
Issued according to the standards of the Guards? It’s a big profit now!
You should know that the "guards" on the head of the Guards are not vain. They are the emperor's direct troops. To put it bluntly, they are the personal guards, and all treatments are of the highest standards.
Take the soldiers' allowance as an example. The minimum standard for the Imperial Army soldier rank allowance is twenty-five yuan per month, and the private allowance of the Seventh Corps is thirty yuan per month, which is five yuan higher than the minimum standard. Is this a good salary?
But compared with the Guards, it is pale. The Guards' private allowance is fifty yuan per month, twice the minimum standard, and is higher than the sergeant income of the Seventh Legion. Moreover, the rank of soldiers is not three yuan per level, but five yuan. When it comes to sergeant, it costs sixty-five yuan per month, which is almost at the level of third-class sergeant of the Seventh Legion.
The allowance for third-class sergeants in the Guards Corps is twice the minimum standard, 120 yuan per month. And the promotion of one level does not increase five yuan, but ten yuan. If it reaches the first-class sergeant, it will be 140 yuan, which is almost as high as the deputy platoon leader of the town army.
The allowance standard for officers is also doubled. If you are the deputy lieutenant, the allowance can reach 400 yuan per month, and you will receive an annual salary of 18 months - for Si Congpo, who is short of money, this is the only benefit of the transfer.
According to the allowance standards of the Guards Corps, he was promoted to the captain and transferred to the Sixth Guards Infantry Regiment as the company commander. The monthly allowance should be about 640, which is much higher than when he was a captain and deputy company commander in the Seventh Corps. Moreover, he received an allowance of 18 months a year, so don't make too much money.
But as I said before, it is impossible for the new Seventh Legion to be as free as the old Seventh Legion. In the future, it will be less convenient for him to leave the army and deal with the matter of innovating the party organization - no, it is not that it is "not that it is not that convenient", but it will be very inconvenient.
The same is true for me. But I am much better than Si Congpo, because I am not a grassroots officer, but a middle-level officer. I have much freedom in life than grassroots officers. I can still go home if I want to go home.
I guess Wen Xiangwu transferred Si Congpo to the Sixth Guard Infantry Regiment, but only promoted him one level in order to lock him in the ranks of grassroots officers so that he would not run around. Only when this guy's mind stabilized would he be promoted.
Unfortunately, as long as the reform party organization is endless and as long as Si Congpo still has that kind of unrealistic ideal, he will not be able to stabilize his mind.
I don’t understand why Si Congpo is so smart and capable, is deceived by the Innovation Party? After working for so long, he cannot not have noticed that they have been working in vain and causing trouble to the country.
He is not like Zhuying and Yujiang, who has been abandoned by his family and has no support and can only go all the way to the dark. He has Wen Xiangwu as a big backer. As long as he is willing to explain the truth to Wen Xiangwu and surrender to him, Wen Xiangwu will definitely scold him and then help him solve the problem.
His failure to do this now means he has no plan. Could it be that I misread this time, and that the Innovation Party has more prospects?
I think unless I am blind, I will never read it wrong this time. Maybe there is really an innovative party organization in this world that can save the great powers, but the organization Si Congpo joined is definitely not. If they are, I will cut my eyes off and make people play with it as a firecracker!
I don’t know what poison the organization has poured on Si Congpo, and how he is so enchanted...
After completing today's work, I was walking to the Yujiang family, and all I thought about Si Congpo was about Si Congpo. Perhaps because I had been with Lin Zhongsheng for a long time, I also had a little patriotic atmosphere. I am now truly regretting Si Congpo and feeling worthless for him.
If a person like Si Congpo can do his best to serve the country, the situation of Daxianguo may be much better.
I sighed. When I raised my head, I happened to see two policemen driving the beggars with solid wooden sticks. I sighed again, smiled bitterly, and murmured.
"I guess so……"
I saw that the two policemen didn't seem to be working seriously, but instead seemed to be venting their emotions. The beggars had already begged for mercy and even said they were leaving immediately, but they were still beating. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went up to stop them. The two policemen did not dare to mess with people wearing big green uniforms, so they said a few harsh words to the beggars, and then turned around and left cursed.
After the police left, I looked at the terrified beggars, sighed again, and said to them.
"You can't beg here. You can go to the yard, just walk outside the city, and stay there with many bungalows, and no one cares about it. If you beg for the streets, you will be beaten, and you may even be caught in the bureau--oh, by the way, there are also cakes there, which are probably delivered at noon, each person. Although you can't eat enough, you can't starve to death."
"Thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you, Mr. Jun..."
The beggars knelt down and kowtowed to me a few times. I didn't like being kowtowed, but I didn't stop them either. Because they could not stop them, they were too dirty, and I didn't want to get dirty in their clothes and hands. Then most of the beggars went to the market, and only one young beggar did not go. A man like his relative pulled him over there, but he refused to go.
"Master! You won't have to go there! If you grab it, you will be beaten to death! Anyway, you will be beaten to death! It's better to die here!"
I think the man is not very different from his age. He should be his father or uncle, not like his grandfather. I heard that some areas in the Ming Dynasty seem to call their father "Master". I heard that they speak very well. Are they from the Ming Dynasty?
If they were really from the Ming Dynasty, it would be understandable that the two policemen hit them just now.
The Ming Dynasty and the Daxian Kingdom fought a war. Now the Ming Dynasty is still salivating about the coal fields, trade routes, spice production areas controlled by the Daxian Kingdom, and the oil fields developed only a few years ago. They deployed heavy troops on the Western Front and acted as if they would fight at any time, so that we had to deploy heavy troops on the Eastern Front to defend against attacks that could come at any time.
The common people hate war, so the common people of the great ancestors hate the Ming Dynasty. If you have something to say, love the house and the Wu, the same is true. We hate the Ming Dynasty, and by the way, we will also hate the people of the Ming Dynasty.
I can't help but regret meddling in this other people's business, but since I've already taken care of it, I have to keep it to the end - don't misunderstand, I don't want to help them or take them in, I'm not that kind-hearted. I just want to have a good talk with these Ming people to see if I can take out some valuable information from them.
"You all stop me. And the two policemen just now! Come back for me!"
The two policemen had not walked away yet. When they heard my voice, they stopped with an unhappy look on their feet. They said a few words to each other in a low voice, afraid that they were not scolding me, so they came over lazyly and asked me with a rude look on their faces.
"What are the instructions, Chief?"
"Did these people come from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Eighty percent." One of the policemen sneered, "You regret it. Do you want us to beat them again?"
His words frightened the beggars. I shook my head, took out a ten-dollar bill from my pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the talking policeman.
"I want to do some official duties and want to temporarily requisition you and your police station's interrogation room, is that okay?"
When the two policemen saw the money, they immediately changed their attitude, nodded and smiled and said that there was no problem. After that, they carried the sticks and escorted the beggars to the direction of the police station, and I followed them.
