As soon as they finished discussing the matter, Hongluo came to inform Qin Sheng that General Qin Liu had arrived.

After Qin Sheng came in, Lu Songli assigned the task to him, "Enter the village quietly without making any noise."

Qin Sheng nodded, "Okay."

When Liu Guanlin found out that he only had one meal, the army was assembled.

He immediately wiped his lips and went to see General Qin Sheng and Qin Liu.

……

When Zhan Ruoshui returned to Qigongyuan, Lin Ye, Bi Shaoning, Sheng Peiguang and other disciples came to greet him.

"Master, Senior Brother Wei and Senior Brother Zhou, you are finally back!" Sheng Peiguang cried.

When he saw the big dark circles on his disciple's face, he was startled, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. How did you become like this?"

Sheng Peiguang said resentfully, "Master, can't you see? We are tired."

After the master and two senior brothers left, their workload increased dramatically. They are not only responsible for the research and development of the projects they are working on, but also take care of their masters' projects.

Later, the junior brother also left to assist the East China Sea Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea, and their situation became even worse.

Zhan Ruoshui remembered that before leaving, he handed over the small project he was preparing to finish to his disciples to keep an eye on, and he felt a little guilty for some reason. But soon, he straightened his back again. When something happens, isn't it right for a disciple to obey him?

"The dividends are quite large, right?" Wei Wenqian asked in a faint tone.

Sheng Peiguang paused and smiled, "That's right." Otherwise, with this workload, they would have run away long ago.

Lin Ye and Bi Shaoning also smiled helplessly. It wasn't that they didn't want to be lazy, but that Pingzhou had given them too much, and it would hurt their conscience to be lazy.

"Master, it will be good if you come back. I will rest for a few days."

"Okay, is three days' rest enough?"

Three days? They slept and passed away! "Seven days, no more."

"alright."

……

On this day, I heard that the army was going to distribute a batch of supplies. When Sun Congyi learned about it, he jumped a few times with joy.

He quickly went to find his father, "Dad, have the supplies to be distributed been delivered?"

Sun Ming: "Well, I will write you a note later. You take the note and take someone to claim your subordinates' share. The military pay during this period will also be paid out together with the military salary established during this period." Bonuses for meritorious soldiers.”

Sun Congyi's eyes lit up, are you going to pay military pay? And bonuses?

"Dad, can you write the note to me now?"

Sun Ming glanced at him, "What's the hurry? I still have something to tell you."

Sun Congyi patted his chest and said, "General Sun, please give me your instructions!"

Sun Ming said directly, "In the afternoon you will be responsible for escorting a batch of old weapons to the weapons manufacturing department."

These weapons had been damaged in recent battles. Taking advantage of the lack of large-scale battles in the coming period, they were sent to be refurbished and repaired or melted and rebuilt.

"As ordered!"

Then, Sun Congyi took people to collect supplies.

Carloads of supplies were delivered to the training ground, and soldiers began to line up to receive them.

This time, each soldier received two sets of military uniforms, a pair of rubber shoes, two towels, two bars of soap, and a military water bottle.

The soldiers of the Sun Army couldn't put it down one by one holding the supplies they received.

Some soldiers giggled, "Why are they giving out soap again? There are two pieces of soap given out, how can they be used up?"

One piece of soap distributed is half a catty, two pieces is one catty.

The friend next to him said, "You can send it home if you don't need it. My wife likes our Pingzhou soap very much."

Then, the voice of their commander rang out, "The soap is given out so that you can bathe and wash clothes more quickly, take care of your personal hygiene, and reduce the number of people killed and sick!"

"We are Pingzhou soldiers now. Don't behave like before, slovenly and slovenly. It will embarrass our Sun family army!"

The soldiers begged for mercy, "I know, I know, we must wash up diligently and not embarrass the Sun family army!"

Some soldiers put on their feet directly after getting the shoes.

"What are the soles of these rubber shoes made of? They feel very durable."

The quartermaster who came to help distribute supplies this time heard this and thought to himself, of course I can't tell you that the soles are made of rubber.

They went to Zhu Ya Island to cut rubber wood before, but the main purpose was actually to cut rubber.

After the rubber came back, it was sent to Qigongyuan. This sole was developed by the No. 7 Industrial Research Institute and then sent to the military workshop for mass production.

Others also felt the difference of these shoes, "Putting on these shoes, I feel like I can climb mountains and swim without any fuss."

"Also, with this kettle, we will try not to drink raw water in the future. Diseases come from the mouth. The water should be boiled before drinking to avoid getting sick. Do you hear me?"

Pingzhou cares about them in every aspect.

Thinking about the past and then thinking about the present, comparing the two, some soldiers hugged the newly-issued clothes and cried, "Wow, Pingzhou is so good. From now on, I will be born in Pingzhou and die in Pingzhou." The ghost."

One of the soldiers was so excited that he blurted out, "Little general, I want to kowtow to our governor."

Sun Congyi said casually, "Then you go ahead."

The soldier was also unambiguous. He immediately knelt down in the direction of Changli and kowtowed three times.

Sun Congyi: ...I said I would knock you, but you really did.

Subsequently, Sun Congyi asked the generals to also pay their salaries.

After posting, he mentioned his afternoon tasks and received an enthusiastic response.

"Okay, now that the matter is done, let's all leave." When everyone was ready to leave, Sun Congyi reminded them, "By the way, there is meat in the cafeteria at noon today..."

The soldiers couldn't believe it, "Eating meat again?!"

"I asked my elder brother who stayed in Pingzhou to recuperate. We in Pingzhou Military Region eat meat every five days. It seems to be true."

"Hey, my mother-in-law! That means we can eat meat six times a month?!" Their Pingzhou is too good, right?

"so many."

The quartermaster was an old man from Pingzhou. Hearing this, he said to the side, "You guys are lucky to have good food. Last year our Pingzhou was not that good. We could only eat meat once in half a month."

"I heard that our Pingzhou has been engaged in the breeding industry since last year. After the capture of Fuyu, we even built a lot of mountainous land there to raise pigs and sheep. Lord Quartermaster, is that right?"

"Yes. The governor encourages breeding and planting, saying that the soldiers must ensure their daily meat intake."

"I saw it when they brought the pig in today. Good guy, it's really fat."

"The pigs we raise in Pingzhou are said to be the result of mating between domestic pigs and wild boars from the mountains. They produce more meat, suffer fewer diseases, and the meat tastes better."

"Wow!"

Hearing the exclamations of the soldiers under his command, the smile on Sun Congyi's face never broke. Everything that happened now proved that their choice of Pingzhou was correct.

After lunch, the soldiers walked out in twos and threes, arm in arm. When they met acquaintances on the road, they even asked them to go with them.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Ji's Bank outside the door."

"Are you planning to deposit your military pay into a bank?"

"Yes, I plan to save part of it." This part will be deposited in the bank for emergencies. What you have on hand is used for daily expenses.

It's not that they trust Ji's Bank, but that they trust their governor. Ji's Bank in Pingzhou is a joint venture between Pingzhou Prefecture and the Ji family. Pingzhou holds 40% of the shares and the Ji family holds 60% of the shares. However, Pingzhou does not participate in the operation of the bank.

Therefore, most of the money that was just distributed returned to the bank after passing through hands.

After the military supplies and military pay were fully distributed, Xue Xu came to report to Lu Songli.

After the report, Xue Xu thought for a while and said, "Governor, will the treatment of our soldiers in Pingzhou be too generous?"

Compared to the Dali court, their cost of raising troops in Pingzhou was two or three times that of Dali...

"Such a huge military expenditure, can it be appropriately reduced? If we want to develop Pingzhou, there are still many places to spend money."

Lu Songli shook his head, "Military expenses cannot be saved. Now we only have two enemies left, Xianbei and Dali, neither of them are weak. We have the smallest territory in Pingzhou, so we must be armed to the teeth."

"If we want to develop elsewhere, we cannot save money from military expenditures."

Another thing is that Lu Songli runs Pingzhou as a small country.

After a country makes money, the money should be distributed reasonably, and part of the money must go to the hands of the people, so that everyone who contributes to the country's economic development can receive the rewards of economic development.

When people have money in their hands, they are willing to spend money, which in turn will drive the development of the country's economy.

Thus forming a healthy and benign internal circulation foundation.

Xue Xu was stunned. He had good intentions. He felt that the military expenditure could be reduced appropriately, as long as it was better than that of Dali, and the soldiers would not complain. But the governor's consideration is obviously more comprehensive.
