Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

After discussion among the five major members of the military department and six others including Qin Lin, the basic framework of the military soldiers' salaries has been planned, and Qin Lin is very satisfied with it.

In the Qin Empire, soldiers' ranks are divided into private, private first class, corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, third-class sergeant major, second-class sergeant major, first-class sergeant major, second lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, senior colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general, four-star general, five-star general, third-class general, second-class general, first-class general, marshal of the arms, and marshal of the empire.

The pay of ordinary soldiers is divided into new recruits and veterans with more than two years of service. The pay of new recruits is set at 25 yuan per month, which was 10 yuan per month in the past. The pay of veterans with more than two years of service is set at 40 yuan per month. For veterans who have fought on the battlefield and made military achievements, 5 yuan is added for each military achievement.

Private first class gets 50 yuan, corporal 55, sergeant 60, staff sergeant 65, third-class sergeant major 70, second-class sergeant major 80, first-class sergeant major 90, second lieutenant 120, first lieutenant 150, captain 180, major 300, lieutenant colonel 500, colonel 800, senior colonel 1000, major general 2000, lieutenant general 4000, three-star general 6000, four-star general 8000, five-star general 1000, third-class general, second-class general, first-class general, marshal of the arms, and imperial marshal.

Soldiers with military merits will receive an additional 5 yuan for each merit. Veterans with special military merits will receive an additional 10 yuan for each special military merit. As for commanders at the general level, there will be no change in their military pay regardless of whether they have military merits or not.

"Your Majesty, my military pay has almost doubled!"

Deng Wenzhong smiled and said, "In the past, my salary as a first-class general was about 1 yuan, and with various benefits, it was about 15 yuan a year. Now it has directly increased to 36 yuan a year. Isn't it too much?"

"Not much, not much at all."

Qin Lin smiled and said, "The country's economy is developing rapidly now. It is because you fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood that it can be so prosperous. How can you think that 30 yuan a year is too much?"

"You all have families now," Qin Lin said, "and you have more than a dozen mouths to feed. Prices have risen a little now, and you still have to pay your salaries according to the previous military pay. Although you don't have to worry about food and drink, you have devoted decades of hard work to the country, so you should also be treated with some preferential treatment."

"Okay, let's pay the military salaries according to this case."

Qin Lin stretched his body and said, "Starting from next month, we will pay out the latest military pay. According to our planned military rank, the average military pay for a soldier will be 70 yuan per month, which is enough for a soldier to support his family."

"Yes."

Deng Wenzhong nodded and replied, "We have 500 million soldiers in the Great Qin Empire, and there are almost no new recruits. They are all veterans with a lot of military merits, which is more than enough to support their families."

“And this is just the Army.”

Yan Haokong glanced at Air Force Commander Wang Feihu and Navy Commander Ding Luhai and said, "The salaries of the Air Force and Navy are much higher than those of our Army."

For the Air Force and Navy, Qin Lin and his team also planned a detailed standard for the payment of military salaries. First, for the Air Force, salaries are also paid according to military ranks, but there are subsidies for Air Force pilots.

For example, pilots are divided into trainee pilots, junior pilots, intermediate pilots, and senior pilots. After reaching senior pilots, they can be classified. Most senior pilots can advance to third-level pilots. They have a certain grasp of flying techniques and tactics, can carry out actual combat, and have certain combat experience.

Next are the second-level pilots, who are the backbone of the Air Force. They have mature flying skills and can perform stably under more complex weather conditions and in flight missions of a certain difficulty. They usually serve as pilots or team leaders.

Then there are the first-level pilots. First-level pilots have a high level of flying skills and rich combat experience. They are proficient in various flying techniques and tactics, can complete tasks excellently in complex climatic conditions and high-difficulty tasks, have strong flight command and coordination capabilities, can undertake important flight missions and lead the flight brigade in actual combat.

The last one is the special pilot, also known as the ace pilot.

In terms of ace pilots in the world, the Qin Empire had the largest number and the highest quality, having trained 1500 ace pilots, which is the total number of ace pilots in the world.

Ace pilots are the elite in the Air Force. They not only have superb flying skills, but also have excellent performance and outstanding contributions in flight safety, tactical innovation, flight training, etc. They are able to cope with various extreme situations and difficult flight challenges, and usually play a core role in major missions and critical operations.

Therefore, there are special subsidies for pilots. Trainee pilots receive a monthly subsidy of 100 yuan, intermediate pilots receive a subsidy of 200 yuan, senior pilots receive a subsidy of 300 yuan, third-level pilots receive a subsidy of 500 yuan, second-level pilots receive a subsidy of 800 yuan, first-level pilots receive a subsidy of 1500 yuan, and special-level pilots receive a subsidy of 3000 yuan.

As for the navy, as long as there is a maritime mission or exercise, the military salary will be increased by 50% according to the military rank. In normal times, there is a 10% military salary subsidy.

For example, the salary of a naval colonel is 1000 yuan a month, but if he does not have any maritime missions, his salary is subsidized by 100% of his rank, which is 1500 yuan a month higher than that of an army colonel. If he has any maritime missions, his salary will be % higher than that of the army, which is yuan a month.

Of course, for the army, as long as there is an exercise mission, the military pay will be increased by 10%, and if there is a combat mission, the military pay will be increased by 30%.

In response to this, Qin Lin and others planned a complete military pay distribution plan. This military pay plan will not be eliminated in the next three to five years, because according to this plan, the Qin Empire’s military will have to pay more than 60 billion in military pay a year. This figure is enough to make the soldiers’ treatment among the highest in the empire within three to five years.

There are also battle casualties. As long as the soldiers die on the battlefield or in exercises, the subsidies are also very high. First, the soldiers are paid one year's salary. For example, if a colonel commander is killed, the colonel's family will be given 1.2 yuan in military salary. The children in the family will be supported by the state until they reach adulthood. In addition, the military will give the family of the deceased colonel a death allowance of 1000 yuan every year for ten years, and the local government will give preferential policies every year, which is enough to ensure that the family does not have to worry about their livelihood.
