The servants in the two mansions were shocked and in an uproar after hearing Jia Lian's words.

"You heard clearly, how much is the pension the Second Master said? In addition to the fifty silver reward for each person, there will be another one hundred and eighty taels for those who died in the battle, and one hundred and twenty taels for those who were seriously injured? Did I hear that right?

…”

"You heard that right! Didn't you see that they all went up to collect the money?

Originally, I was wondering what the plates of white money on top were for, but it turned out that they were the pension money of those dead guys! Second Master, you are too generous..."

A sour voice said.

Others also looked at each other in confusion.

It is indeed true. To reward the people in the house with silver, twenty or so frames of copper coins are enough. Why use more than a dozen trays of silver ingots...

For a time, there were some who were envious and others who were jealous.

Some people even made secret calculations.

A man in his forties suddenly said to the person next to him: "I heard that most of the people that Er Ye trained before died on the way to Oara, and only a few came back alive...

Do you think the Second Master will recruit new guards?"

The people around him were thoughtful when they heard the words.

A man laughed and said to the man, "Old man Fu, who didn't know that your mother-in-law could give birth to five young men for your old Zhou family! Why, you are jealous of the silver rewarded by the second master. You also want your son to follow the second master.

Fight on the battlefield?

You have also seen that going to the battlefield is no joke. Even the second master has experienced nine deaths. So many people around him have died. You are not afraid that your son will also die on the battlefield. When you turn around, your mother-in-law will give you a hand.

Trim off your beard?"

"As long as the Second Master likes my boys and is willing to train them, even if they all die fighting with the Second Master, it will be their honor!"

The old man said with pride.

Others also cast approving glances at him, and then thought about it one after another.

Those without sons just sighed secretly, while those with sons began to think about how to send their sons to serve Jia Lian!

Even the middle-aged man who persuaded the man just now had his own plans.

He also has two sons, the younger of whom is quite strong. I wonder if he will have a chance.

Each of them has a plan in mind.

No one wants their son or husband to die in the war, and they are not particularly jealous of the pension money. After all, it was all paid for by other people's lives.

Judging from the eyes of those who are crying now, if they can exchange for their sons or men without the money, they are probably willing.

However, this is not just a simple pension.

They knew before that those who followed Mr. Lian had the best treatment. Not only did their monthly income be very good, but if they completed Mr. Lian's errands, they could easily get rewards.

Second Master Lian is very generous to those who can do things.

Moreover, haven’t you seen how much the second master takes care of the people around him?

As Second Master Lian, he actually spoke in person and said that the family records of those who died guarding him were the ones he wanted to take care of and no one was allowed to bully them?

We are all from the same government, and no one wants to bully others. But, what an honor it is to be remembered and protected by Master Lian?

The people who usually follow Mr. Lian are already on a higher level than others. Unexpectedly, even if they die, they will not let others go, but will become more glorious!

In this way, living can bring great benefits, and even if you are unlucky and die, it will definitely not be a loss.

I believe many people can do this kind of multiple-choice question well.

The reactions of the servants in the two houses were naturally part of Jia Lian's calculations and were also deliberately guided by him.

He kept standing in the center of the hall. After the family members received the pension money and thanked him, Jia Lianfu spoke.

“Since ancient times, it has been the highest honor for a man to make meritorious deeds and die in battle!

As for my Jia family, since the Second Duke Ningrong, we have also established our family through military exploits.

This huge Duke's Mansion and the century-old glory were all obtained by our ancestors in exchange for the heads of countless enemies.

Jia Lian was not talented. As a descendant of Duke Rong, he tried to imitate his ancestors, serve the country and be loyal to His Majesty.

However, the war is fierce and dangerous, and the sword on the battlefield has no eyes. Even if I am as arrogant as Jia Lian, I dare not say that I can conquer the battlefield with my own strength!

Therefore, I need to build a personal guard force, a personal guard force that dares to fight, dare to let me, Jia Lian, completely hand over the safety of the camp to them, so that I will have no worries."

When Jia Lian said this, he paused for a moment, and immediately there were several loud voices from below, and then more and more voices came out. They were all self-recommended and wanted to be Jia Lian's personal soldiers.

When Jia Lian saw this, a smile appeared on his face, but then he stopped it and said in a cold voice: "I will only select fifty people for this group of personal guards. So, whoever is not afraid of hardship and death and wants to build a career with me

, tomorrow, go find Zhang Yong or Zhao Sheng to sign up.

But I’m going to start with my ugly words. My personal guard does not accept people who are in poor physical condition, who like to cheat and cheat, and people who have committed serious misdeeds.

Therefore, you should think carefully and make a decision before going to Zhang Yong and others to sign up. Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to get into my personal guard, you will be kicked out by me in the future.

Once I kick you out of the Guards, huh, you should know the consequences even if I don't tell you."

After Jia Lian finished speaking, without giving them any time to respond, he flicked his robe and continued: "The next thing is the last thing tonight.

Everyone must have seen that there is still a lot of money left on these tables..."

Everyone followed Jia Lian's gestures and saw that indeed, even after the rewards were paid to the family rolls, there was still about half of the silver on the long tables in front of the hall!

"You must be all curious about what this silver is for.

But don’t worry, you will know later.”

Jia Lian gave it a try, then turned to face the people in the courtyard again, and said seriously: "You all know that many of the people who followed me to the northwest this time died.

I can also tell you that being my personal soldier will really put your life in danger.

However, even if one day you really die on the battlefield like those before you, you will die under the sword of the enemy.

As long as I, Jia Lian, am still alive, I will not let your blood flow in vain.

I plan to build an ancestral hall. This ancestral hall is independent of the ancestral hall of our Jia family. I will name it "Zhongyi Ancestral Hall".

Zhongyi Temple, as the name suggests, was established for loyal people and a place to pay homage to loyal people.

He is the second ancestral hall of my Jia family just like my Jia family ancestral hall!

All the descendants of our Jia clan, whether masters or slaves, must respect and worship my Jia clan’s Zhongyi Shrine as they treat my Jia clan’s ancestral hall.

Anyone who is disrespectful will be treated as disrespectful to the ancestral hall and will be punished as betraying the ancestors and forgetting the ancestral lineage.

In addition, after the ancestor worship at Qingming Festival every year in the future, I will personally lead people to hold a worship ceremony at Zhongyi Temple.

At that time, all the men of Ningrong and Rong, no matter master or servant, are not allowed to be absent without any reason."

Although Jia Lian's words were very long, there were still many smart people who understood the general idea at once.

For many people, even their breath suddenly became heavy!

You must know that except for some of the slaves here who were bought later or came with the mistress as a dowry, most of the others were slaves of the Jia family by the time of the Second Duke Ningrong.

They are the sons of the Jia family. They are the ones most trusted and favored by their masters, and they are also destined to be slaves for generations to come.

Many of them, such as Lai Da and Lin Zhixiao, were well-established figures in society when they left the Jia Mansion.

In and outside the capital, there are not many officials below the fifth rank who dare not give them face.

They are called "big slaves" by outsiders.

The so-called powerful slaves have extraordinary energy and power, but one thing is that they are slaves.

They cannot take scientific examinations or do business on their own. In the eyes of the truly powerful people, they are the lowest group of people.

No social dignity.

They wouldn't have cared too much about what Jia Lian wanted to build the Loyalty Temple. What their master wanted to do, they just cooperated to complete it.

But from Jia Lian's words before and after, many people have heard it. It seems that the people offering sacrifices in this Jia Family Loyalty Temple are not necessarily members of the Jia family, but...

They think they must be crazy to think that.

How can there be any reason in the world for a master to pay homage to his slaves?

But there were also many people, especially those who had made up their minds to run for personal guards. They all opened their eyes wide and looked at Jia Lian above, with fire burning in their eyes.

Finally, a steward of the Rongguo Mansion came forward and asked: "May I ask the Second Master, where will the Second Master plan to build this Zhongyi Temple...and, since it is the second ancestral hall of my Jia family, what kind of sacrifices will be held in it?"

People, or in other words, who are qualified to enter the second ancestral hall of my Jia family after death..."

The question of stewardship is also a question that everyone wants to know.

Jia Lian said bluntly: "I am temporarily planning to build this Zhongyi Temple in the Dongkua Courtyard, adjacent to the Dongfu Ancestral Hall.

This matter will be left to Lin Zhixiao, Zhang Yong, and Zhao Sheng, and the three of you will prepare it together."

Lin Zhixiao and others had already received orders from Jia Lian, and now they came out one after another and knelt down to accept the orders.

"As for who is eligible to be included in Zhongyi Temple..."

Jia Lian glanced around and declared in a loud and loud voice:
To be continued...
