No matter how unhappy some of the elders sitting there are, they have to accept this "cruel" fact.
They lost a huge opportunity to make money!
"Don't think that I don't know the dirty thoughts of some of you!"
Huang An's voice suddenly became louder.
He slapped his hand on the table and suddenly shouted:
"Are you thinking that I will hand over the salary to you, let you distribute the money to your brothers, and then let you have a hand in it?"
Everyone was frightened by Huang An's sudden anger, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Even Yang Chengwu lowered his head.
They do think so.
But, is the entire Ming Dynasty like this?
This is how Shangguan treated them from the first day they joined the army. Isn't this what they saw, heard, and experienced personally?
Why doesn't their current eldest brother allow them to do this?
Huang An didn't explain too much, he just said coldly:
"Whoever dares to embezzle my brother's military salary, no matter what method is used, whether it is secretly or by force, as long as I know about it, I will take off his head!"
"do you understand?"
The threatening sound is like the cold wind blowing from the Nine Netherworld.
These leaders were shocked to find that their elder brother, who usually smiled and was very nice to others, actually had such terrifying murderous intent.
"knew!"
"yes, Sir!"
One after another, they all agreed.
Huang An said no more, he had already left the words here, and it would be up to him to see who would fall into his hands.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Huang An immediately began to arrange tasks.
Now that I have a large number of people and no shortage of money, I can seize the time to reorganize the team and handle the affairs in Xialin Village.
Because after a few days, he won't be able to take any time off.
The master will probably send someone over, he needs help.
In addition, after this month is over, next month it will be his turn to escort pedestrians and caravans between Youzhou and Fen County.
He had only been in Xialin Village for less than a month, and most of that time was spent on the road.
I have already formed a plan in my mind for my future life in Xialin Village, and now I naturally have to seize the time to implement it.
In addition to cultivating paddy fields and building pig pens in Dapo.
He plans to overhaul the area where he and others live.
Re-plan the residence, canteen, etc., and also provide necessary medical facilities and meeting halls.
He even plans to re-plan a school field in the wilderness at the entrance of the village as soon as possible for you brothers to practice martial arts, train, or discuss matters.
The school ground in the center of the village was big, but it was not his private territory.
And there are always children playing there, and there are also uses for drying food.
Coupled with the poor environmental sanitation, Huang An decided to go there as little as possible in the future.
He directly stated his plan for Xialin Village.
As soon as this plan came out, the leaders were stunned.
Living well?
Why the overhaul?
Do you need to build a two-story house to live in, as well as a canteen and a medical center?
In fact, every family's residence and even drainage channels and ditches must be built according to what the elder brother said?
They have never seen such a generous and strange big brother.
They can only comfort themselves by saying, "Brother has too much money and has nowhere to spend it!"
However, re-planning their residence and the area they live in is a great thing for each of them.
As long as the eldest brother's wallet can afford it, they will be happy to do things seriously.
Finding and contacting wood dealers, craftsmen, purchasing stones, etc. Huang An arranged all these tasks one by one.
He planned to gather carpenters, craftsmen, etc. together and discuss it in detail.
There were things that he was unsure about or had missed. After being reminded, Huang An also discussed with the chiefs one by one and gave the order.
The master's instructions before leaving gave Huang An the determination to overhaul Xia Lin Village.
Since the master has arranged a path for him to achieve meritorious service, he naturally only needs to follow the master's instructions.
What he wants to do now is to establish and develop his own private power while constantly improving his martial arts skills.
Before martial arts cultivation reaches its peak, collective strength is definitely greater than individual strength.
Youzhou is in chaos, Ming Dynasty is even more chaotic, and there will definitely be a crisis in the future.
He must equip himself with the ability to resist in the face of crisis.
In the future, he will obtain from the imperial court the merits he needs to practice Kung Fu in the Bronze Skin Realm. The master will prepare them for him, so he doesn’t have to worry about it.
Now that his martial arts practice has entered a relatively rapid and stable period of progress, he only needs to practice step by step.
With the Leopard and Wolf character training methods, his cultivation progress will be faster than expected.
By practicing for one to two hours in the morning and evening, he can complete his daily martial arts training.
Huang An's path to martial arts was much easier than he expected.
Of course, the length of time other martial artists practice martial arts will not be so short.
For example, Yang Chengwu and others.
They spend more than eight hours a day practicing martial arts.
Only long-term martial arts training can stimulate the body's own qi and blood power and continuously increase its amount in the body.
Huang An's is different because he has a full supply of precious medicine.
These precious medicines replaced a large part of his time and energy required for hard practice.
Martial arts training requires gradual progress and relaxation.
There is a limit to the amount of energy and blood that a warrior in the Six Fu realm can add to his body every day.
Huang An's current martial arts training rhythm was determined after careful inspection with the Eye of Insight in the garbage dump of all realms.
It can be said to be the practice habit that best suits his current situation.
Therefore, he also has the energy to think about things other than martial arts.
This discussion lasted from 7:30 in the morning to about 10 in the morning.
The leaders gathered together in twos and threes and directly inquired and discussed with each other the tasks that had just been assigned.
In the past few days, they have to find as many craftsmen, that is, craftsmen, in the city as possible, and also contact material dealers for building houses.
After everything was arranged, Huang An knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone's eyes converged, and Huang An ordered:
"Okay, now go organize your teams and line up at the door. Let the brothers receive their pay!"
After more than two hours of digestion, they had accepted the fact that they could not embezzle money from Mo's brothers, so they all responded in unison.
Before leaving, Huang An gave instructions:
"Tell your brothers that you can do whatever you want after receiving your salary today. However, you still have to work and train normally tomorrow!"
Everyone nodded, then stood up and left.
In just five seconds, everyone left the room.
There was a big room in Nuo, and Huang An was the only one left.
Sudden.
Huang An twisted his head back and shouted:
"Little grass!"
The next moment, a little girl appeared from behind the door of the inner room, it was Xiaocao.
"Fourth Master!"
Huang An asked:
"Is what they said before true?"
"Fourth Master, it's generally not bad!"
Huang An waved his hand and asked her to come over.
When Xiaocao came closer, Huang An gave her a few instructions. Seeing that she remembered them, he sent her to the door of the house.
After Xiaocao was settled, Huang An got up and walked into the house.
After a while, two large boxes were carried out from the house.
The wooden boxes are very heavy, weighing more than three hundred kilograms each.
Because the contents inside were all strung copper coins.
These copper coins have been prepared a long time ago, and they contain the salary of his subordinates.
In the days before he left for Feng'an County, Huang An took his silver and exchanged it for these copper coins at a bank in Fen County.
He placed the wooden boxes on both sides of his place, then returned to the house and took out a small bag.
This bag contains two taels of broken silver, a total of forty taels, which were also prepared before.
Just like the wooden box containing the copper coins, it had actually been placed in the Wanjie garbage dump, and now it was pretended to be taken out after entering the house.
There was a dull sound as the small bag hit the wooden table, making a dull sound.
Huang An sat down boldly, and then looked through the roster he had prepared.
There are two rosters in total. The one he holds in his hand contains the roster of personal guards who need to be paid.
Generally, those who can join the army have a more formal name, with a given name and a surname.
But what are the names of those skinny monkeys?
The name is their nickname.
What kind of dog eggs, tree roots, fat babies, two dogs, etc.
As for the last name?
Many don't.
Therefore, when Huang An asked Yang Chengwu and others to count the roster, they gave each skinny monkey a name.
There is a name and a surname.
Those who originally had a surname will continue to use their original surname.
For those without a surname, the surname is Huang.
Their names were all compiled by Yang Chengwu and others, who looked them up one by one in the dictionary, and finally compiled them into a volume.
Based on Huang An's understanding of these skinny monkeys, they may never forget the moment they had names.
For these helpless orphans, having a name and a surname is a beautiful life that can only be dreamed of.
As for the other roster, it records the names of the people who moved from Dahuaishu Village.
These people didn't have money. During the few days he left, after Yang Chengwu and others provided them with basic survival supplies, the mission of this group of people had not yet been determined.
Most of the time, they are actually unmanaged and have no work to do.
The amount of remuneration given to them cannot be quantified, and Huang An does not have the energy or leisure to keep an eye on it, or send Yang Chengwu and others to calculate their remuneration.
Their labor remuneration should be calculated officially from next month.
In fact, according to the consistent principles of the Ming Dynasty, these people in Dahuaishu Village need to work for Huang An for free, and they must also provide food and drink for Huang An.
Now Huang An also ensures that their daily food, drink, and accommodation are taken care of. He can be said to be a truly benevolent master.
The most fundamental purpose of these people coming to Xialin Village is to ensure that they do not starve to death.
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep.
The source of their daily food and drink expenses was actually taken from Dahuaishu Village, that is, from people like them.
Huang An can do this.
However, he didn't like such a backward management and production mechanism.
The trouble would be too great, and if they couldn't get their heartfelt support and become his die-hard loyalists, then he would rather not do it.
What he needs is a group of people who are loyal to him and willing to work hard for him.
He looked down upon the small profit field of Dahuaishu Village.
What he prefers is actually an employment relationship, especially an employment relationship that relies on power.
As long as these people work for him, he is happy to pay them their wages.
With the temptation of power and interests, and the powerful brainwashing ability of his hometown army, Huang An did not believe that he could not gain their loyalty.
This is why he would rather waste time and pay people personally.
