Chapter 2044 Salary Silver

   "Well, I want to give you a surprise." Chu Heng didn't say directly after all.

  Ye Muyu asked for a while, and seeing that he didn't let go, she didn't force her, "Then I'd better arrange someone to watch it first, and buy as many shops as I can, in case I have to do other business in the future."

  The main reason is that she is not sure what Chu Heng's surprise is, so naturally she has to make two preparations.

   Seeing Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, he didn't speak.

  Ye Muyu quickly leaned over and kissed him on the chin, and coaxed softly: "Hey, it's not that I don't believe you, but I'm just thinking about it, what if I can buy other good shops?"

  Chu Heng is so coaxed by her, how can he still have a temper.

  Ye Muyu continued to find someone to buy a shop, and settled accounts.

  The few small shops I bought before, plus the bathhouse, and the decoration of the bathhouse, the construction of the second floor cost more than two thousand taels.

  If it weren't for the combined monthly income of the rouge shop, clothing shop, book shop, miscellaneous grain shop, and restaurant, she wouldn't dare to keep buying shops like this.

   At this time, with the capital, it will be much more convenient to do business.

  At least she needs to be rich if she wants to buy a shop.

   After calculating that there was still a surplus in savings, Ye Muyu boldly asked someone to buy a shop.

   Early in the morning.

  Chu Heng entered the palace.

  There is no court meeting today, he entered the palace to face the saint directly.

  With the previous explanation, Emperor Xuanming no longer refused to see him, and Chu Heng soon met the emperor in the imperial study.

  He first handed over the recently collected information.

  I wrote it myself stroke by stroke, and there is a thick stack.

  Emperor Xuanming didn't look too fast, and raised his hand to ask He Dequan to bring a chair to Chu Heng, and serve good tea.

  Chu Heng sat down after thanking him, and waited quietly.

   After Emperor Xuanming read the above content, it was already two quarters of an hour later.

   His brows were raised, and he didn't look very happy.

  Chu Heng knew the reason.

   "Your Majesty, I have personally asked every soldier about these situations, and the reliability is at least 80%." Chu Heng stood up and reported.

  Emperor Xuanming felt unhappy because he knew that Chu Heng was serious about his work and the data was highly reliable.

  He pointed to the content above: "In the camp in the capital, an ordinary soldier has a monthly salary of 800 yuan and 80 catties of food?"

   "That's right, besides this, there is a limit to the amount of armor, shoes, etc. in the camp every year."

  When Emperor Xuanming saw the 800 words, his face became ugly, "This salary is too little, it is like this in the capital, what about the troops stationed in other places in the north?"

   "According to what I know, the salary of soldiers in the frontier is roughly two hundred to four hundred cash per month, and the grain is about 50 catties per month."

  This is less than the garrison in the capital, which seems quite reasonable.

   "However, the frontier army will have some military merit rewards. First-class rewards are five taels of silver, second-class rewards are three taels of silver, and first-class rewards are one tael of silver."

   "But there are only a few soldiers who can get rewards, and more frontier soldiers are actually sacrificed. This is about the condolence money."

   "Generally speaking, in frontier barracks, when the military pay is sufficient, a soldier's condolences are twenty taels."

"It's just that most of the time, the army is short of salaries, and there is no money to pay for condolences. In this way, most of the soldiers died after they died. This is why the people don't want their children to join the army. .”

  Basically joining the army means dying. Even if you don’t die, the salary a soldier can get is still too little. You must know that an acre of land costs more than six taels, and building a house is more expensive, at least twenty taels.
