Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 VII Salary Increase

"Shouren, do you smoke or not?"

Since he had to wait for dinner and it was hard to talk about serious business, Zhang Shouren also went out of the way with the Lin family.

People passed by on the side of the road. When they saw this situation, they all lowered their heads and held back their smiles, then walked quickly, not daring to say anything.

Zhang Shouren is not polite, but with his status, it is not easy for people to joke about it in front of his face. Usually, the majesty of adults is indeed a bit of that, anyway, most people dare not joke in front of him, let alone mention it. part of the words. [

For this matter, we can only wait for a while when Zhang Shouren leaves, and everyone comes to Lin's house together, and have a good time talking and having fun.

The two old men, who were about to evade just now, were also pulling the stools and sitting beside Zhang Shouren and Lin Wenyuan.

For Zhang Shouren, such a scene was also a rare experience.

Now the young people in the fort, as long as they are outstanding, they all gather around Zhang Shouren. They are usually fighters, training, fighting, and talking like thunder. How can there be any leisure to sit together and gossip in a low voice?

Even old Zhang Gui usually just buys vegetables and cooks, and Zhang Shouren doesn't bother to listen to him when he reports the bill.Before the date of marriage was set, this was the only thing old Zhang Gui would nagging him about, and he also mentioned Zhang Shouren's deceased parents... Now it's all right, this topic has been automatically filtered, and now this loyal old servant's only thought That is, after Zhang Shouren got married, he would give birth to a fat boy earlier, so that his master-servant friendship and responsibilities in the Zhang family would be fulfilled, and he could close his eyes and let go of the following things.

At this time, old man Lin handed over the cigarette, but Zhang Shouren was taken aback.

Although I vaguely heard people say that there are already many people smoking in Liaodong area, but it is really the first time to see someone smoking in the fort.

"Father, where did you get the tobacco here?"

"Hey, I planted it myself."

"This old man has been thinking about this thing all these years, and now that life is easy, he just can't help it."

"Hey, now that my son earns so much money, what should I do for the old man?"

It turned out that Mr. Lin once crossed the sea with others to Liaodong when he was young, and ran a single business to help with a small business. The northern region was bitterly cold, and in winter, he hardly went out for anything important. There was a fire in the big pit, and everyone huddled on the pit to keep warm. Long days and nights are really boring, so tobacco, once introduced, became popular throughout the Northeast.

Compared with other provinces, the spread of smoking in the north is indeed not small.

Mr. Lin also learned this hobby back then, but after returning to Fushan, few people in the local area have this thing, and tobacco seeds are also very expensive. With the financial resources of the Lin family in the past few years, this little hobby can only be kept in the bottom of my heart. I'm afraid I don't dare to try this taste again.

Now that Lin Wenyuan has become a military officer of the fifth rank, the salary of the imperial court is indeed not much, only more than a dozen stone grains a year, which is not much better than that of ordinary people, but Zhang Shouren, the boss, is very powerful.

The salary of the battalion soldiers is still maintained at the system of one tael five and two buckets of food per month, and cloth is also used a lot.

According to the current standard, the Fushan camp is full of 5000 people, and it will consume 5000 natural stones and [-] pieces of cloth a year, and the value of other sundries is about [-] taels.

Silver taels is less than 10 taels of silver, and the maintenance training fee, the cost of meat dishes in the food expenses and other miscellaneous expenses are added up, and the cost is about [-] taels of silver.
