When he heard that Xiao Ruxun was thinking about a question, Yuan Huang looked at Xiao Ruxun with interest.

"What's the matter?"

"You said that the Ming Dynasty has developed to the point where there is no greed, no greed, no greed, and even to the point where the national treasury is empty. Is there any reason why the official salary is too small? Is it really advisable to maintain a high salary as the Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Ruxun asked Yuan Huang when he asked this question. He touched his beard, walked back and forth for a few steps, and slowly said, "I am not very easy to say about this matter, but to be fair, the official salary customized by Taizu is indeed the lowest in all dynasties. In all dynasties, there is no such thing as the official salary of our Ming Dynasty, so that officials cannot even support their families by relying solely on their official salary. There is really nothing to say."

Xiao Ruxun also nodded: "What kind of consideration did Taizu customize such a low official salary? Moreover, it has not changed for more than 200 years. If you really want to be a honest official, you really can't even support your family. How can you blame those officials who make some money to support your family? Compared to civil officials, the salary and rewards of our military generals are considered generous, but civil officials with heavy power have only a little pitiful salary. If this is the case, I'm afraid I can't even think about it?"

Yuan Huang did not comment on this.

"The right and wrong of the late emperor is not something that our subordinates should discuss. To be fair, such a low official salary is indeed an important factor that leads to the current corruption of the officialdom and an important inducement to the collusion between officials and businessmen and power transactions. I have lived for so long, but I will not regard everyone as a saint. More people are ordinary people. Even if they study and become officials, they will not even have to eat. If ordinary people do not love money, it is absolutely impossible. There is only one sea pen holder in the world.

However, if you really want to say that high salary is right to raise integrity, it may not be possible. Humans are difficult to fill. It is like a mouse. If you feed it, will he not bite grain or wood? It is not necessarily true? The former Song officials’ salary is so high that they may not be as honest as they are. In short, based on what I have seen and heard in this Jiazi, high salary may not necessarily raise integrity, but low salary will definitely lead to corruption. After all, people always have to eat."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and slowly drank it.

With the leadership of the navy commanders, the navy officers and soldiers were let go. After spending the night together, everyone still cared about the feelings of comrades, allowing brothers who had never tasted the taste of women to serve first, then those who had tasted it, and so on.

Although they killed too many, the Ming army captured more than 600 young women alive on Tsuma Island. After nightfall, the Ming soldiers voluntarily lined up, and an average of ten people were assigned to one woman. The big-headed soldiers entered the small dark room one by one to enjoy their victory fruits. The entire island was filled with spring flowers, which was very beautiful.

Only Deng Zilong led his nephew and his family's personal soldiers to patrol and did not participate. When patrolling the soldiers to relax, they saw soldiers with strange faces sank on the ground with endless aftertaste, Deng Zilong was so angry that he really wanted to come forward and beat them up.

Originally, Deng Zilong didn't like this custom in the army and he didn't allow his subordinates to do it. But today, probably because he saw Chen Lin taking the lead, his subordinates stopped obeying his orders and came here to enjoy the fruits of victory. Hearing the crying of the woman in the room, Deng Zilong shouted angrily at his nephew Deng Xianwu who tightly grabbed his nephew Deng Xianwu: "It is our duty to kill enemies on the battlefield. Isn't it a beast to treat prisoners like this under the battlefield?!"

Deng Xianwu said helplessly: "Everyone is a soldier and has no chance to find a woman at all. Now it is a rare opportunity. Moreover, General Chen has agreed. Uncle and many brothers have never tasted the taste of a woman, and they don't know when they will die in battle. It is normal for such behavior. If you forcefully stop it, it may disrupt the morale of the army and be unfavorable to the war."

Deng Zilong glared at Deng Xianwu fiercely, sighed heavily, and left here hatefully.

The next morning, Chen Lin held a military meeting, which was the order sent by Xiao Ruxun last night.

"Admiral Xiao instructed that we need to arrive at Busan Port on the 23rd of the first lunar month, that is, before noon tomorrow, to attack the Japanese pirates in Busan Port, annihilate them, completely cut off the Japanese pirates' retreat on the sea, trap 40,000 Japanese pirates in Busan and tens of thousands of Japanese pirates to death, and strive to go out without a fight. All generals must remember!"

"promise!"

The navy generals agreed in unison.

Chen Lin also ordered: "When the main force of the army goes out to Busan, some warships must be left behind to guard the captives, and beware of the fleets coming from the Japanese pirates. This general decided to hand over this task to Deputy General Deng Zilong and Deputy General Deng to receive the order!"

Chen Lin handed over a flag of order, and Deng Zilong stepped forward and took over the flag of order.

"Deputy General Deng, strictly guard the Tsuma Island. If a fleet of Japanese pirates comes from the land of Japan, they must be wiped out and not allow one to flee and return. I will leave two centipede ships for you to chase the enemy. Can you do it?"

Deng Zilong said seriously: "The last general will definitely work hard!"

"Okay! The generals immediately go back to rectify the army and prepare for combat. Set sail at dawn tomorrow morning and arrive at Busan Port before noon to start the general attack!!"

"promise!"

The navy generals immediately went to prepare. Compared with the impetuousness and violentness the day before, today, Deng Zilong clearly felt that the manic aura on these people had weakened a lot. Deng Zilong, who was well aware of the truth, just sighed and did not say anything more, but did his best to do his best to do his duties.

The next morning, the Ming army had already had breakfast. Chen Lin gave a lecture. The proud and energetic Ming Navy set sail on the expedition. Deng Zilong stayed at Tsushima Island, rectified the remaining more than 30 warships and began to patrol the island, and then checked the situation of the remaining prisoners. The situation of those prisoners, especially female prisoners, was indeed very bad. Several of them died without any clothes. Deng Zilong could only shake his head and wave his hand, and carry the bodies out and buried them.

He knew very well that these dead prisoners were really lucky, because they died early and no longer had to bear the even more unbearable fate. As far as he knew, Chen Lin and his friends planned to offer this group of female prisoners to Xiao Ruxun and let Xiao Ruxun reward the soldiers who were fire-relieving and fierce. They didn't know how hundreds of women were busy coming here.

I don’t know if it was God’s joke. When the Busan Port Annihilation War started, Deng Zilong’s patrol team found seventeen or eighteen holes in the mountains and forests on the island. The holes were full of Japanese people, and most of them were women, with more than one thousand people, and more than eight hundred elderly people and children.

When Deng Zilong got the report, he knew what he should do. He waved his hand, and naturally his subordinates did it for him - women are useful, and weak elderly people and weak children are of no use at all.

The Ming soldiers were overjoyed. This not only meant the head and the credit, but also more women and longer enjoyment.
