To ensure the newly recruited soldiers trained seriously and quickly grew into combat-ready "cannon fodder," Tang Shi drew up a new incentive policy for them.
Each newly recruited soldier would undergo five rounds of training, with the intensity increasing from one round to the next.
In each round, the thirty top performers would receive a ten-dollar raise!
That meant if you stayed in the top thirty throughout all five rounds of training, your salary could rise to 170 dollars! (The same applied to those who surrendered.)
And since most training activities couldn't be carried out at night, the soldiers would be gathered together to study academic subjects.
There would also be six rounds of exams, and those who placed in the top thirty in each round would receive a five-dollar raise.
If the new recruits could place in the top thirty in both their academic exams and training, they would eventually earn two hundred dollars a month!
Two hundred dollars was equivalent to 1,200 RMB. That meager income was enough to make these people risk their lives for you!
On top of that, military skills competitions would be held at the end of every three months. Based on their rankings, the soldiers would be divided into five grades, each with different food and equipment!
The worst were Grade One soldiers, while the strongest at present were Grade Five. Each grade currently had twenty soldiers, and anyone who wanted meat had to reach Grade Two or higher.

"Old Ten, we're running low on supplies. Even counting the food we captured, we only have enough to feed these hundred people for a month. We have to find a way to get more food!" Tang Jiu tossed a tablet in front of
