Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 456: Triple the Monthly Salary, Go or Not

The Qiao family men did as they were told.

There are three reserve captains, each in charge of a thousand soldiers, and four generals, each in charge of 500 soldiers. The total number of soldiers under the Qiao family is 5,000.

Now, Dayong, Qiao Laoer, and Xiao Meng have to stay. The troops they have are already proficient in several formations and can use them skillfully and flexibly. They will all be dispatched to their fiefdoms. For those who stay here, General Guan will assign more soldiers to them for training.

No one has any objection to putting family interests first.

Besides, if there is something happening, brothers or uncles will bring their subordinates to train together. They are more familiar with each other and have formed a certain tacit understanding.

General Guan stood before the vast army and said, "Everyone, Miss Qiao, the military advisor of our Guanning Iron Cavalry, has just been granted the title of County Lord by the Emperor. Her fiefdom is in Qingfengyuan, near the capital. The Emperor has granted her the right to recruit 5,000 soldiers. Miss Qiao intends to have you all stationed there directly."

The soldiers immediately started talking.

General Guan asked everyone to be quiet and continued.

"The military camp there has excellent conditions and complete facilities. Since I have the responsibility of guarding the military advisor, my monthly salary is three times what I get here, and I will also receive an additional ten stone of rice. If I make meritorious contributions, I will be more likely to be noticed by the royal family and have a broader platform to display my talents."

Qiao Jianer wrote down these preferential treatments in the letter.

"Triple." The soldiers exclaimed.

That is three taels a month, thirty-six taels a year. After serving in the army for a few years, the family will become a little rich.

There is still so much annual rice. One stone is 120 jin, and ten stones are 1,200 jin. There is food in the military camp, and these grains can be used to supplement the family. For families with small populations, it is enough for a year's food.

Originally, they thought that since the capital was thousands of miles away, there was no need to rush there even if the emperor's place was better.

But after hearing these conditions, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

"Everything is based on the principle of voluntariness. Those who don't want to go can continue to stay here and be assigned to other teams." General Guan said.

These soldiers' homes are mainly near Wuzhou, which is 600 miles away from here, or in the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou. They have already left their hometowns when they came here, and it is difficult for them to go back.

Fortunately, there are cavalrymen in the military camp who are specifically responsible for delivering tokens. Every once in a while, they can help them send silver and letters back and bring some warm clothes.

Since I'm living here permanently and can keep in touch with my family, living a little further away isn't unacceptable.

Besides, Qingfengyuan gave so much—

"I am willing to go." A group of soldiers' voices rang out.

"I am willing to go too." Another person responded.

Such sounds rang out one after another.

General Guan nodded with satisfaction.

Some soldiers also lowered their heads, their faces gloomy and depressed.

Upon asking, I found out that they all have seriously ill or disabled relatives in their families. Although they have brothers and sisters at home, they still have to take leave every half a month or a month to go back and visit them to show their filial piety.

It would only take two days to travel six hundred miles to Wuzhou by galloping back, but it would take nearly half a month to get home from the capital. There would be no time to help if his family needed anything.

Now, seeing that their brothers in the same camp can go to the capital and have a bright future, they are naturally envious and helpless.

"It doesn't matter. I'll stay here. You can follow me and use your fists and feet as well." Dayong said.

"One day, if we achieve great merit and the news reaches the capital, we will be rewarded even if we don't get a title."

When these depressed soldiers heard what their leader said, they all became motivated again.

Yes, having someone from the Qiao family in Beijing is like opening a shortcut.

And they soon realized one thing: the Qiao family had taken away several generals, and the three captain positions might fall on the heads of the three people who stayed.

When generals are promoted, their salaries will also increase.

The soldiers were comforted and encouraged and were no longer dejected.

Guan Yuqin wrote a letter according to General Guan's instructions and released the pigeon.

"Mom, is this letter for Sister Jianer?" Guan Xue asked.

Guan Yuqin smiled and patted her head: "Yes, your sister Jian'er has become the county lord, has a fiefdom, and is now recruiting soldiers."

"Sister Jianer is so awesome. I want to learn from her." Guan Song raised his little fist.

At dawn the next day, Boss Qiao and his companions said goodbye to their families.

The two elders of the Qiao family gave a lot of warnings and instructions again.

"Dad, Mom, we've discussed it and decided to take turns coming back to see you," said Boss Qiao.

"Okay, but focus on the affairs in the camp and don't always think about going home. That place is under the feet of the emperor. If the people above know about it, it will have a bad impact." said Old Man Qiao.

Old Lady Qiao said, "As for those at home, we are old and our bones can't stand the bumps. It's okay for them to go to the fiefdom to find you. By the way, they can see the world and broaden their horizons."

She had a premonition that a hundred years later, the Qiao family would all settle in the capital.

Mrs. Lu also followed Qiao Lao San. She held Mrs. Qiao's hand and said, "Mom, I'm going to the capital now. You will have to work hard at home. I only regret that I don't have two clones to take care of both sides. You must take good care of yourself at home."

"Don't feel burdened. If you can manage the house in the capital well, and if you can manage the shop well, it's already a great achievement." Old Mrs. Qiao said, "Go with peace of mind."

"Yes, third sister-in-law, I'm here. It's just a matter of taking care of the household chores. I've already become familiar with the shop. If you go to the capital, you'll have to start all over again, which will be harder than it is for me." Wan also said.

Everyone said goodbye reluctantly.

As for Qiao Yunni, she went to Yuezhou two days ago and still doesn't know about this.

At the intersection, Dameng arrived with a force of several thousand men, carrying the flag of the Qiao family army, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Everyone gathered together and the large group set off.

Most of them were infantry, with a thousand cavalrymen, so they mainly relied on foot to reach the destination. Assuming they walked more than 100 miles a day, it would take at least more than 20 days.

Knowing that the Qiao family was going to start taking root in the capital, the villagers were extremely envious. With the ability of that girl Jianer, this day would come sooner or later.

They could not be jealous of this, they could only admire it and came to congratulate the Qiao family.

Old Mrs. Qiao also generously gave everyone some sugar cakes.

The Song and Shen families watched the large group leave, their eyes red.

In just one year, the Qiao family had such an opportunity and now, they have begun to climb up in the capital.

Looking at their two families again, Shen Liang became a mentally ill idiot. The Shen family placed all their hopes on him. In order to treat him, they almost spent all their family wealth. Now he is finally half recovered, but there is still a big gap between him and a normal person.

The Song family, the eldest and second oldest brothers were dealt with by the camp for secretly communicating with the enemy country, the third oldest brother disappeared without a trace, and more than half a month ago, there was no news of Song Ruier either. The Song family has been looking for her, and old lady Song is almost crying her eyes out.

Seeing that the Qiao family was about to rise further, Old Lady Song couldn't help but burst into tears of anger, slapping her thigh.

"God is so cruel! The rats in the sewers have good lives, but an honest family like us has ended up like this."

"Mom, the Qiao family has left so many people. Once the men go to the camp, our chance will come." Shen secretly said, "Look, Ling Yin's belly is getting bigger and bigger."
