Da Qi has already made a lot of money from these soldiers and the local people, so there is no need to drain the pond to catch fish.
Even Ma Tong planned to only pay half of the monthly salary and keep the remaining half with him.
"Damn it! You guys are out here to make money, why do you spend it on worthless women all day long?"
"I'll keep half of the money for you. When the postman comes, just give it to him and have him deliver it to your home. You don't have to worry about me embezzling the money. Every time the postman delivers a letter, he'll bring a receipt with your relatives' handprints on it. You can compare them yourself."
"Don't you know how to save money? When your one-year work term is over and you have to go back for rotation, you'll see others going home with a tidy income while you go home with nothing. How will you face your family when the time comes?"
Originally, Ma Tong thought that this regulation would definitely cause resistance from many people, but what he didn't expect was that this measure was implemented extremely smoothly.
The soldiers of the Great Qi had no objection as they trusted Ma Tong. Although some soldiers from the Western Xia, Liao and Jin had some complaints, after thinking about it carefully, they realized that Ma Tong had said that the money deposited there could be checked at any time, and that when the postman brought the money back, they would also be present to conduct an appraisal and sign a document.
In fact, these foreign soldiers also knew that if they kept the money in their own hands, they probably wouldn't be able to save much.
When I think of the scene described by Ma Tong, when they returned home exhausted a year later and saw the whole family standing at the door, staring at them with eager eyes, but they couldn't take out a penny, that feeling was really uncomfortable.
Besides, there is still half left for them to squander. If this money is still not enough, then they can go to the mountains and kill a few bears or something.
The most important thing is that the work here is really comfortable, and they are reluctant to turn against the people of Da Qi over a small matter.
Some people even think that one year is too short and wonder if it can be extended?
For this reason, many people have started looking for ways out during this period.
Just when everyone thought that such peaceful days would continue, a group of pirates had already set their sights on this place.
…
I wish you all a happy new year, happiness and health, good fortune throughout the year, and wealth overnight.
By the way, let me tell you about this month's update schedule. The attentive Daniel Wu should have noticed that I have already written the first chapter of the entertainment novel about rebirth and spiritual revival that we crowdfunded with our collective wisdom. I have also sorted out my thoughts. I will try to write 20,000 words in the next two days, and then see the data and response after signing the contract.
In addition, it is near the end of the year and there are a lot of things to do, so what I want to say is that I will not update this book three times a day this month. I'm giving up, hahahahahaha.
