However, in addition to being a cook, Temujin Dali is now a "soldier and a member of the army". Occasionally, he will receive errands in the army. There is no way for him to hold the position of "residence guard" concurrently.
Muchuan waved his hand to quiet the guards and said directly: "So I want to choose one of you to replace Heishan and become the new guard captain."
If he can replace Montenegro, his salary and remuneration will naturally increase.
Unexpectedly, when Muchuan said this, the guards all raised their hands to recommend themselves. They all wanted to become the captain of the guards!
It's really surprising. After all, according to Muchuan's acquaintance, these guards are all low-key and introverted, and don't talk much. I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic about being promoted to captain of the guards. Is it because of their salary?
Regardless of the reason, so many people now came forward to recommend themselves, which also caused Muchuan to be embarrassed. The main reason was that he didn't know the guards, their abilities, character, and personality, so it was difficult to choose a captain from them.
At this moment, a lightbulb seemed to pop up in Muchuan's mind. With a flash of inspiration, he thought of a way and took a vote!
The modern voting system is the most democratic, allowing everyone to choose and vote for the most suitable person.
At this time, Muchuan explained the rules of "voting" and asked the guards to choose each other.
Each person can vote up to two times, but cannot vote for himself. Whoever gets the most votes will be the new captain of the guard!
In order to further increase everyone's willingness, Muchuan specially issued two special allowances. If someone becomes the new captain of the guard, he will naturally enjoy these two allowances.
One is that in addition to the original salary of the guard captain, Muchuan also gave an additional five taels of gold as a reward, which is equivalent to three months' salary.
The second is to become the captain of the guard, and you can receive the training plan specially formulated by Muchuan, thereby improving your martial arts ability.
After hearing these two pieces of content, everyone was excited. I didn’t expect that the subsidy treatment was so good! If you get the money, you can also improve your martial arts!
Especially in terms of martial arts, all the guards knew that Muchuan's martial arts were outstanding and invincible. If he could get Muchuan's personal guidance, it would probably not be a problem to get an official position in the imperial court like Temujin Dali in the future, right?
If that were the case, it would really be like "flying onto a branch and becoming a phoenix"!
The guards were full of imagination and enthusiasm, clenching their fists and shouting to become the new captain of the guards.
In the next moment when the incense was burned, a fierce quarrel began in the courtyard. The atmosphere was tense and tense.
The reason why this happened was not because the guards wanted the position of "Captain of the Guards" too much. Everyone lobbied each other, hoping that others would vote for them.
Mu Chuan naturally couldn't bear to watch the noisy scene in front of him. After all, humans are animals that care about interests, and they will not give in to each other when it comes to issues involving their own interests.
This is also good, because Muchuan deliberately created such a scene! If the guard gets the highest vote, it means that this person has a good IQ, and at least he is not a fool! On the other hand,
Being able to get the support of other guards shows that his influence and prestige are not bad.
It was just a group of guards quarreling with each other, and I was afraid that it would not end for a while, so Muchuan asked Temujin to help keep an eye on it, while Muchuan himself went back to drink tea and take a nap first.
Time passed by, and the white horse passed by. After an hour, Muchuan, who was dozing off, was woken up by Temujin.
"My lord, my lord... wake up."
"Oh, is it Dali?
How is it, have you all been voted out?"
"The results are out...there's just something wrong with the results."
Hearing what Temujin said vigorously, Muchuan still felt that he did not understand. Later, when he went out and took a look, he understood what was going on.
The votes of the guards were mostly concentrated on two people, a guard with long hair and a guard with a scar face. They both held eight votes.
At this point, there is no way to tell the winner, because both of them have the same vote, so it is impossible to tell who is the captain of the guard.
But now the scene has become very lively, and the guards are quite critical of this result.
"Sir, I asked for a re-election, and someone used bribery. This is very disgraceful!"
"I think this result is very fair. After all, we are just voting to select people! Everyone is following Lord Muchuan's rules!"
"How do you choose this? It's impossible for two people to be captains of the guards, right?"
Listening to the guards arguing, Muchuan could probably guess what was going on.
Just like modern voting campaigns, some people rely on their true strength, and some people use dirty methods.
But no matter what, voting is voting, and what everyone ultimately believes is the result of the vote. Even if the method is dirty, it is still part of the strength!
So for the guards who are running for election, Muchuan doesn't care whether they use dirty methods or not, as long as they get enough votes!
As for the current outcome of the same vote, although it is a bit unexpected, it is also expected by Muchuan to a certain extent. In other words, he is looking forward to the result of the same vote, so that he can better examine the candidate for the guard captain.
“Ouch, how come we have the same votes?
It’s really distressing!”
Muchuan rubbed his temples, his expression soon changed, and he said with a sly smile, "Now that we have the same votes, let's start the next round of selection! Competition!"
That's right, whoever has the bigger fist will become the captain of the guard!
Muchuan's proposal obviously suited the appetite of the guards. After all, there were few life programs in ancient times, so it would be good entertainment to see two burly men fighting each other.
"As expected of Lord Muchuan, this method is good and I support it!"
"Yes, yes, since you want to be our captain of the guards, you must put your strength first! Whoever is stronger will become the captain of the guards!"
"Let's get started, I can't wait!"
The guards all agreed, so the long-haired guard and the scar-faced guard were pushed out.
The two faced each other, their eyes met, and it was obvious that both of them were full of fighting spirit.
At this time Muchuan came out to act as the referee. Although it was a competition, some rules still had to be observed!
The first is to fight with bare fists, and pay attention to the aboveboard tactics. Dark tricks such as gouging out the eyes and kicking the man's weak points cannot be used.
The most important thing is that no life is lost! As long as one party is unable to fight or voluntarily surrenders, it is considered a loss.
