"Look at your potential!" Ding Kui stopped teasing Lei Feixiang, "What do you think of Biya in my house?"
Lei Feixiang understood instantly and said anxiously: "I can't afford this! Miss Biya is from the palace. She is of noble birth. She was specially gifted to you by the late king. I don't even dare to think about it."
Ding Kui said arrogantly: "Very good! Such an attitude shows that you are a person who understands the importance of things. The young man has a future!"
"Hey, you are really joking, I'm so shocked." Lei Feixiang subconsciously patted his chest. Although a thought flashed across his mind for a moment, he still thought that there was a huge disparity in status between himself and Biya, and it was impossible for Ding Kui to really reward her.
Own.
"No! I'm serious." Ding Kui waved his hand, and Ding Fen came over to pour tea for Lei Feixiang. Lei Feixiang's eyes widened and he waited for him to say more.
"The girls in the house should get married when they are old, and you unmarried soldiers also need to be looked after by women who know the general situation, and you can't always find some shady women.
There are too many that I can't control. I have to keep an eye on the people Brother Xie tells me to do. You, Fatty Lei, are the first one.
I can't say that I'm giving you Biya as a reward. As long as you are willing, I will be happy to bring you two together. I guess you don't have any objections." Ding Kui didn't finish his words.
Lei Feixiang's face flushed when he thought of Xie Peng catching an adulterer, and said: "This subordinate is guilty! How dare you dislike Miss Biya? I'm afraid she will look down on such a vulgar person like this subordinate."
"It is certain that she despises you, but you are a man, a division commander of the Red Army protecting the country. Is it difficult to conquer a woman?" Ding Kui glared at Ding Fen, who was snickering next to him.
Lei Feixiang's brain was short-circuited: What do you mean, sir? Since Miss Biya doesn't like me, why do you want me to conquer her?
"Here, here, who dares to conquer the woman from the Earl's Mansion?"
"Of course, my wife and I won't allow it. Now I encourage you to conquer Biya, just one thing, and don't use force. Don't laugh! If you laugh again, I will reward you to someone else." Ding Kui scolded Ding Fen in the last sentence.
Ding Fen covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Ding Kui in horror. She couldn't laugh now.
Lei Feixiang took a look: There is a show! The master did not stop the servants from listening, which shows that he has made a decision in advance.
Of course he would not dislike Biya. Apart from several ladies, she was the most beautiful girl in the Earl's Palace. She came from the palace. He had never dreamed of such a good wife.
"Yes! I take your orders!" He stood up and gave a military salute.
Ding Kui rolled his eyes and said: "This is not a military order! Oh, just take it as such. In short, you must win it for me!"
"Yes, yes, but should I teach my subordinates some tricks?"
If the ability to pick up girls is divided into the same categories as combat power, Lei Feixiang will definitely rank Ding Kui at the god level.
"Well, it's good to be willing to learn. I'll give you these seven words: 'bold, careful, and thick-skinned'. If you want to think more about Biya, you might as well start to get to know the people around her. Well, bribe Xiaohua, and she will give it to you.
Exclusive information." Ding Kui pointed at Ding Fen.
Ding Fen immediately changed from panic to elation, and the master pointed out a way for her to make money.
"There are so many tricks here!" Ding Kui shook his head and sighed.
"Miss Lao Dingfen, I will prepare a generous gift for you later. Ah, by the way!" Lei Feixiang then remembered the purpose of coming this time, "Master, I have something I want to ask you to clarify."
"Well, have you just been to the next door?" Ding Kui asked.
"yes!"
"If it's none of your business, don't ask. Remember your identity." Ding Kui seemed to know what Lei Feixiang wanted to ask.
"Well, if the master is not here, whose orders will the Red Army protect the country take?" Lei Feixiang asked in a different way.
"The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. Whose orders should you take when I'm not around?" Ding Kui still asked.
"The Red Army protecting the country is a private army of the Ding family. The master no longer listens to the wife, and the wife no longer listens to the housekeeper. If the military command department comes to transfer the order, it can be dealt with accordingly." Lei Feixiang understood.
The Red Army for Protecting the Country has regulations. The highest order of command is the head of the house - the wife - the housekeeper. When the first two are absent, if the wife wants to mobilize the troops, she must give orders through the housekeeper.
Even though Ding Chuan did not hold a high-ranking official position and was busy in the Earl's Mansion all day long, he had great power. He had the right to mobilize private troops when Ding Kui and Shao Diian Luan were away.
The stewards of any family are the most trusted people of the family head. Their loyalty is even higher than that of direct blood relatives, and they often act as the spokesperson of the family head.
"I know and you still ask? Do you want to change the national laws and family rules?" Ding Kui's attitude was very clear, and everything should be done according to the rules.
"I don't dare! It's just that there have been too many rumors in the market recently and my subordinates are stupid. I couldn't understand some things, so I came to ask. Now I understand!" Lei Feixiang knew very well that he had to tell the truth in front of Ding Kui.
"Well, don't pretend to understand if you don't understand. You are much better than those smart people. Now you have to take care of ten or twenty times more people than before. You can no longer take care of them one by one as before, and you must set rules! Everyone
Everyone is treated equally before the rules, you know?" Ding Kui was very satisfied with Lei Feixiang's performance tonight.
Recently, he discovered that the hole he dug was a bit big. Although he dug out some bad apples, there were also many innocent people involved. Only now did he realize that there were many factions under him, and they were far from being as simple as he thought.
He made up the Shaodianluan and Longyan factions, but the Ding faction, the Jiang faction, the Long faction and the Kong faction actually exist. These are just the big factions, and there are more small factions below, such as the Eighth Army.
The Twelve Legions, Twentieth Legions, etc. On the surface, everyone is in harmony under his leadership, but when it comes to interest disputes, they have different stances.
Not to mention the outside world, there are two factions in Shan's family: the old housekeeper and the new housekeeper. Although there is no irreconcilable conflict, there are always two voices when something goes wrong.
Ding Kui once brought Ding Kun and Ding Chuan to discuss and emphasize the harmony within the family, but Ding Kun said: "Young master, these things are inevitable when the family is big and prosperous. It was not caused intentionally by Lao Nu and Xiao Chuan.
The more people there are, the more ideas there will be, and people with similar ideas will naturally come together. It is difficult to force everyone to have the same idea. The old slave and others can only try to unify everyone's ideas and resolve conflicts strictly in accordance with family rules."
Ding Chuan continued: "I don't have enough qualifications, so the elderly at home need to be taken care of by Grandpa Kun. This is also the practice in other families.
It is common in any family for the elderly to look down on newcomers. Favoring only the elderly will force the newcomers to leave, and favoring only the newcomers will chill the elderly.
Therefore, the best way is to let Grandpa Kun speak for the old man, and the villain speak for the newcomer. If we really can’t reach an agreement, we can ask the monks to follow the rules."
Is this Machiavellian tactics?
Ding Kui had a new understanding of governing his family and the country, and took the initiative to create conflicts to resolve the conflicts among his subordinates. This was much better than passively handling conflicts.
"If housekeeping is so complicated, wouldn't it be more complicated to govern the country?" He felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.
