Chapter 40 Bow and Arrow Club

At present, Wang Liangjing is not even a formal utility student. Of course, he dare not make the name of the governor of Zibo, but it does not hinder his good mood.

Hold the banner in your arms, even if it has passed for a long time, it seems that you can still smell the bloody smell on the banner. Generals will die for hundreds of battles and sacrifice their lives to the country. A man is like iron, and he will never regret it if he dies...

After a whole night of hard work, Wang Liangjing was excited. The next day, when Wang Ning'an got up, he found that his father had already practiced his fists and feet in the yard early. His developed but not exaggerated muscles were full of strength, with thin waist and wide shoulders, long arms and long legs. In later generations, his father was also a standard model figure. Don't doubt the power contained in his body. He could compete in the palace and divide the army. His father was definitely a complete warrior! A good man who was not afraid of life and death!

However, since ancient times, loyal ministers and generals who were killed by their own people have definitely died far from the hands of the enemy.

A warrior does not lack courage, but his brain!

The ancestor Wang Gui and Yang Wudi died at the hands of civil servants and the stupid Zhao Ershu! If you want to revive the Wang family, you must not only have warriors who dare to fight, but also have a smart mind to seek profit and avoid harm. You must not only beware of the enemy on the other side, but also be careful of the pig teammates behind you...

Of course, I have to leave it to myself for such a difficult thing.

Wang Ning'an felt that his task was too heavy and his burden was too heavy. He must be well-nourished, so... he turned over and slept back and took a nap.

It was almost noon that Wang Ning'an was pulled by his father and lifted up.

"How come a man, why did you learn all my mother's tricks?" Wang Ning'an muttered reluctantly. After putting on his clothes, he looked outside. He was shocked. The yard was covered in darkness and was full of people.

Wang Ning'an rubbed his eyes, yes, there were forty or fifty people!

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Wang Liangjing held the well water, washed his face, and smiled proudly: "In your words, this is called personal charm! When everyone heard that they were going to be used as a utility, they were all rushing to sign up, and there were 40 or 50 people!"

Wang Liangjing was very proud, but Wang Ning'an's head became bigger. There were many people, but do you have real skills? They can't ask for waste. Besides, so many people have to be managed, otherwise how could they work hard for the Wang family?

Needless to ask, my dad never thought about these things, he has developed limbs and a simple mind!

Wang Ning'an complained without hesitation, but fortunately, after he had an idea, he had drafted a charter in his mind.

After a simple wash, everyone was invited together.

There are more than thirty men in total, the oldest is less than forty, and the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old. Each of them has solid muscles, strong muscles, thick arms and legs.

Cangzhou not only has a strong folk custom, but also a hometown of martial arts.

Among these men, half of them were from Tuta Village, and the rest were from other villages. Most of them had been hunting in the mountains and had good skills.

They heard that Wang Liangjing was appreciated by his parents and wanted to join the army. Everyone came to explore the situation. Not all of them were willing to join the army, but it would be no harm if they inquired about it.

"There are many benefits for Utility Warriors. First, you don't have to leave home. You just need to go to the barracks to report every month. You can accompany your family at other times. Second, Utility Warriors don't need to tattoo them, and you don't have to worry about being regarded as thieves and being regarded as thieves. When you make meritorious contributions in wars, you are usually ordinary people. As for the third reason, Utility Warriors' food and salary are quite generous. The court will give some, but the big boss also needs us to pay. Besides, your weapons, armor, and training expenses are also borne by our family."

Wang Ning'an explained the benefits clearly, and at the same time, he also told everyone that if you eat the Wang family and use the Wang family, you must listen to the Wang family's words.

The men present didn't care much, and they would listen to whoever they eat. The key is that the price offered is the right one!

Wang Ningan pulled his father and did some calculations. After finishing the calculation, both of them were big-headed. Wang Liangjing simply gave up. As expected, raising soldiers is not a joke, but a money is just burning!

Taking ordinary imperial guards as an example, the basic salary varies slightly from place to place, and even because of their height, it can be different. Five feet and eight inches, about one meter and seven meters, and you can get 1,000 meters per month, and only 700 meters of five feet and seven inches, and only 500 meters of five feet and six inches... and so on, you are not tall enough and you can't even be a soldier.

There are so many great men in Yanzhao. The people my father found were generally over five feet, seven or eight, and even five or six feet, and one person costs 1,000 people per month.

Don’t be busy, there are other expenses. One stone, seven dou to two stones per month. For Hebei East Road, where Cangzhou is located, you need to give two pieces of silk, half a piece of cloth, and 1,000 yuan in spring clothes. In addition to the same as spring clothes, winter clothes also need to add 12 taels of cotton... In total, it takes 50 jin a year to raise an imperial guard and 30 jin a year to a fang army. According to the rice price, 50 jin is almost equivalent to 8,000 to 10,000 soft sister coins.

Even if the treatment of soldiers is constantly improving in later generations, it is still weaker than that of the Song Dynasty!

This is just daily expenses, and the treatment of utility warriors is far beyond that of ordinary imperial guards. In addition, armor, horses, medicines, and pensions... Wang Liangjing's head was three times bigger and he said in a low voice: "Ning'an, why don't we give up?"

"How can that be? Grandma gave us all the flags and had to continue doing it even if she was rude. Do you want to be sorry for your ancestors?"

"Yes, but that's too much!" Wang Liangjing said in disbelief: "Ning'an, you said that the price of the family is the price, how much does it cost to raise thousands of troops? Could it be that they have a mountain of gold and silver?"

"They must have a way to make money." Wang Ning'an said: "The Zhe family and the Zhong family are both local big families, and they own countless lands. Most of their utility workers are tenants. Giving some land rent discounts can attract young people to work hard for them. Moreover, they are strong, and they have a lot of rewards every time they fight, and they may also learn from the Cui family to do smuggling business, or get some private salt or something."

"Then, isn't that going against the laws of the court?" Wang Liangjing said disbelief.

"The law is always prepared by the weak, and the family inherited from generation to generation, just like a local emperor, so where would he care about the laws!"

He is not concerned about the details when he accomplishes great things. Before his father turns around, Wang Ning'an is not in a hurry. He will figure it out after he takes that position. The problem now is that they only have one restaurant in their hands, and they can earn up to 100 guan a month, which is only enough to support two utility workers.

"It's not enough to have food and salary alone. I buy armor and weapons, and I have to train for several months every year, which delays the imperial court's corvee service, and we have to pay for exemption." Wang Liangjing was almost desperate.

Wang Ning'an had to sigh, no wonder the seemingly huge loopholes, but the Zhao Song court did not care. The Zhe family and the Zong family were both aliens among the aliens, and it was too difficult to copy their success.

But the more difficult it is, the more you have to face it.

If you can't afford the money, aren't there anything else?

...

"Dear uncles and brothers, being selected as a utility man is to find a way out for everyone. How can a man die in the fields? I know that everyone is carrying a family on his shoulders, so he can't ignore it when his forehead is hot. I have an idea here, let's discuss it together and see if it's successful..."

Wang Ning'an proposed to establish a "Bow and Arrow Club" first, which was not his first idea. In Hebei, facing the strong pressure from the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty court encouraged the people to practice martial arts and form associations, protect the country and safeguard the people, and arrest bandits. The Bow and Arrow Club was blooming everywhere. In other villages and towns in Cangzhou, there were Bow and Arrow Clubs.

However, Wang Ning'an's bow and arrow club is different from others. After joining the bow and arrow club, members can sign a contract with the Wang family and give priority to purchasing their food. Wang Ning'an also decided to tell everyone about the skills of knocking pigs and help members raise pigs and get rich.

In exchange, members of the Bow and Archery Club must receive training during the slack season. Those with excellent performance can become utility workers and receive generous military pay...
