After Li Xiaojin was promoted to a senior general, the first thing he did was to move his place of residence from Tianshou Pavilion in Gaoyuan city to Chengxia town in Gaoyuan city.

Why? The reason is very simple, because the population of the family has increased, and the number of directly subordinate warriors has increased a lot.

After the first World War in baigenshan, many of the small flag cavalry who followed Li Xiao through life and death thanked Li Xiao for saving his life, or felt that following Li Xiao would be more promising in the future, and they had plans to work for him.

After learning the news, Li heard that he was expected to be promoted to a senior general, so he looked for an opportunity to talk to xiaofanxian's important people in the wandering Museum. Xiaofan Xianzhong didn't want to release people, but he always felt that in Baigen mountain, he owed Takeda shenglai and Li Xiao a favor. At this time, Li Xiao has a great reputation and has the momentum of the first general of Takeda family.

Xiaofan Xianzhong also made a long-term plan to make friends with Li Xiao, so he decided to release him now. Among the more than 20 small flag warriors who followed Li Xiao, a total of 11 small flag warriors joined Li Xiao.

The increase in the number of directly subordinate warriors means that Li Xiao's expenditure will also increase. Although Li Xiao is now promoted to the rank of senior general, he has not been granted the land of knowledge and practice, but directly receives a salary of 600 yuan a year from Takeda shenglai.

The annual salary of 600 yuan is considered as a medium-level salary as a senior general. For example, when tengtang Gaohu worked under Yuchai Xiuchang, the annual salary as a senior general was 3300 stone, a little higher than Li Xiao.

However, considering that Li Xiao received a direct salary and guaranteed income in drought and flood, unlike knowing and doing the land and deducting the expenses of three public and two people, Li Xiao still felt good. Moreover, as a little famous family, the salary of 600 Guan was equivalent to the grade of an old family.

Before that, Li Xiao had a good talk with the Xiaofan family warrior. He offered everyone an annual salary of 30 Guan, which was a little lower than that of some of them, but they all expressed no doubt about it.

In addition to the newly joined Xiaofan samurai, the salaries of the three Samurai under Li Xiao, Shimao shengmeng and shioka Yiyu, were 50 times each. Xiaofan Youmei originally promised him 40 times a year. However, due to her outstanding performance in the first World War of baigenshan, Li Xiao also raised her salary to match Shimao shengmeng after returning to Gaoyuan city, Shigang Yiyu's fifty passes at one level.

Well, before Li Xiao got the 600 passes, he divided 480 passes from his share.

Now, although the samurai house that Li Xiao wants to live in Gaoyuan town is ready-made, it has been in disrepair for a long time due to a certain number of years, and several places have been damaged. Li Xiao also decided to repair the house.

For Japan at that time, wooden houses were quite rare. In rural areas, only rural waiters or those with a little economic foundation could afford to live. Most people lived in grass mud houses. Although the situation is better in places like Gaoyuan Town, more than half of the houses are mud thatched houses.

Therefore, although the samurai house was rudimentary in the eyes of Modern Li Xiao, it was still a wooden house at least. For most Japanese who had not lived in a wooden house at that time, it was definitely a luxury. So living in a wooden house is also a privilege of the warrior class.

The long house built by the samurai house is equivalent to the current tube shaped building. In the center is a corridor and on both sides are narrow rooms, which are separated into many separate rooms. The samurai and his family live in such a small single room.

In the good place than the grass mud house, every single room will be planed on the floor. For Japanese habitual bedding, sleep on the floor is very good. Moreover, the space under the long house is also padded with wood, so that sleeping is not only moisture-proof but also ungrounded.

Li Xiao personally paid for the rest of the samurai house and repaired the damaged roof and the leaking wooden walls. This concern for the performance of his subordinates moved Shimao shengmeng and Shigang Yiyu, who lived here.

Outside the warrior's long house is Lord Li Xiao's house. The distribution of the two patterns is just an L-shape. At the level of senior general, warriors will have a decent house independently, and get rid of the fate of crowding the samurai house into this collective dormitory.

Li Xiao's house is a bit like the mountain villa he used to live in when he went to the resort.

As a senior general, the rooms are all built of wooden boards, supported by wooden main columns under the ground, with an overhead of half a meter. After walking up several wooden steps and entering the gate, there is a small transition area between the outside and the inner room. There are mutually differentiated reception halls and living area bedrooms for personal rest. This is the result of the separation of motion and static in modern terms.

The rooms are all separated by sliding doors with paper leaves. In addition to the hall and bedroom, there are kitchens, thatched cottages and even independent bathrooms.

Well, how can we say that such a house can finally satisfy Li Xiao, who used to live in university dormitories every day, a little bit of his mentality of local rich and petty bourgeoisie. What is lacking is that there is no internet access, no wild hope of faith, no mobile phone, the company of roommates, and no family care.

Forget it, thinking of this, Li Xiao beat his chest and said secretly. How to say, he came to Japan in the Warring States period for half a year and struggled to the point of being a man by his own efforts. For many people at that time, it was definitely an unreachable achievement.

Li Xiao went out of the house. Now his warriors have moved their homes to one side of the long house. At present, for them, Li Xiao is the Lord they will be loyal to in the future. Personal honor, disgrace, wealth and Li Xiao have been firmly tied together.

So when Li Xiao appeared outside the house, the families of these Samurai left what they were doing and came to salute.

Li Xiao smiled, indicating that they didn't have to bother. Then they went back to their own business.

The outside of the samurai house is surrounded by wooden fences. The open space of the house becomes a large yard with stables on one side. The warriors' horses are raised by horse servants specially hired by Li Xiao.

In addition to the stable, there is also a thatched cottage. In addition, at Li Xiao's request, he built a large collective bathroom. His original purpose was not to have a pile of smelly men around him. He followed him every day. How to say, he could talk about hygiene and reduce illness as part of improving his combat effectiveness.

However, in the eyes of the warriors, Li Xiao's move has become a good name for caring for his subordinates, because the Japanese regarded bathing as a luxury in the past and now. Unfortunately, as a warrior at that time, there was generally no such condition. So Li Xiao can fulfill their wishes. Of course, these warriors look like tears of gratitude.

In addition to improving the living conditions of his warriors and building bathhouses, Li Xiao specially changed their diet from two meals a day to three meals a day.

Modern science has proved that eating less and more meals is very beneficial to health. As his own warrior, he will work for Li Xiao in the future. Li Xiao will not treat them badly at this point.

As for these warriors, they were not used to the temporary dinner at first, but Li Xiao specially took the dinner as a subsidy for the dinner expenses and directly paid it from his salary.

In view of the truth that some warriors don't eat for nothing, these warriors naturally won't refuse. Of course, Li Xiao didn't let them eat this dinner for nothing. Naturally, there are important things to let them do in the evening.
