Zhang Shi and Yao Liang's emotions were getting higher and higher, and their previous reluctance had long been replaced by excitement and gratitude.
But Huang An's expression was solemn.
"The money will be distributed later!"
There was joy on their faces, and they couldn't wait to complete the task now so that they could get the money as soon as possible.
He suppressed his excitement and continued to follow Huang An's instructions.
"I won't treat you badly either. Go to the treasury and receive twenty taels of silver each as your reward for recruiting your subordinates and feeding them."
Their lips parted slightly and their eyes lit up.
Good fellow, the rewards for recruiting and raising people are not included in the reward of thirty taels of silver?
Oh my god, what noble person did they meet?!
"Thank you, brother!"
The two of them clasped their fists together in a respectful manner.
Huang An looked at the two of them and gave another warning.
"My ugly words have come to the forefront. Those people on the farm, as well as the current servants in the house, will all be my people from now on. If they make mistakes, you can beat them, but you can't withhold the treatment they deserve! Don't be bad.
My reputation has made the people in the city poke my spine!"
Huang An said it very seriously.
He always pays attention to these details.
As the saying goes, only tools and names can be used, not fake people.
Reputation is something Huang An cares about very much.
If he is not trying to establish power, he actually won't care about the opinions of the outside world.
However, whether it is for his own safety and martial arts cultivation, or for the sake of his master, senior sister and family, he must form a powerful force of his own.
For a powerful force, reputation is extremely important.
The upper limit of the righteous path is always higher than the evil path.
When these two people go out to do business, they only care about their own names, so if they do well, it's easy to say.
If you don't do it well and your reputation is ruined, that's a big deal.
A good reputation never goes out, but a bad reputation spreads thousands of miles!
In the future, I will recruit troops and recruit talents myself. A good reputation will definitely give me more wings.
Zhang Shi and Yao Liang are not ungrateful people.
The two of them were greedy for the twenty taels of silver, which was not serious at all. Now that Huang An specifically warned them, the two of them naturally agreed.
"Brother, don't worry, our two brothers are not greedy people, and we will definitely not treat our brothers badly!"
The two of them got thirty taels of silver at once, knew what to do, and knew how to stop in time.
Seeing this, Huang An nodded and waved to the two of them.
"That's alright. Yan Long is at the treasury. I have already given instructions. You two can go!"
"yes, Sir!"
The two of them clasped their fists together, and then strode away to collect official banknotes.
There were four people left in the field, including Zhang Yi and Chen Yu.
Huang An set his sights on the remaining two chief flag officers, Ruan Tianzong and Wang Zhengye, both of whom were also bronze-skin realm warriors.
I had been following Senior Sister Zhao before, but I just asked her to come over in the morning.
According to Yan Long, these two people are quite upright and can be used as brothers like Wang Lung.
"Are you familiar with Feng'an City?"
Huang An asked directly.
Ruan Tianzong and Wang Zhengye looked at each other. They didn't know why Huang An asked this, but they still clasped their fists and said:
"Brother Huang, we are relatively familiar with each other. We were stationed in the city three years ago, and we have some friendship with the leaders of various forces."
They are still a little humble and don't make big claims.
The attitude of the two towards Huang An was obviously not as respectful as that of Wang Long, Chen Yu and others.
But seeing and hearing about Huang An's generosity, the two of them felt hot in their hearts at this moment.
"Very well, I'll give you a task!"
Huang An gave the order directly.
"Feng'an City may not be big, but it's definitely not small. There are many different religions and nine currents in the city, as well as local ruffians and the like."
"Give you two five days to arrest the big and small gangsters in the city. If you find out about any officials who have done evil, arrest them together! And in the process, find out about the virtuous people in the city who can read and write.
People who do arithmetic and so on, all have their names recorded.”
Huang An's order was a bit strange, but the two of them nodded and agreed.
This task assigned by Huang An is to prepare for recruiting talents.
Similarly, it is also to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Crackdown on organized crime is the simplest and most effective way to win the hearts and minds of the people.
On the night when Senior Sister Zhao moved into the City Lord's Mansion, she kicked out all the former government servants and officials.
Those people were dismissed from their posts. Strictly speaking, they were the original officials and government servants.
These people are the lackeys of the wealthy families. They wear the skin of the imperial court, but they work for the wealthy families.
The things they have committed should be dealt with.
However, Ruan Tianzong seemed to have something to say, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Brother Huang, the ruffians in the city, as well as the official servants in the past, were actually raised by people from aristocratic families. They have backers, so why should we arrest them?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately added something.
"Those officials who committed evil crimes are all members of aristocratic families. If we catch them all, will it affect the relationship between you and the aristocratic families in the city, Brother Huang, and miss important events?"
Ruan Tianzong's words made everyone stunned.
When the government arrests people, do they need a reason?
Moreover, as for those aristocratic families in the city, is the eldest brother still afraid of offending them?
Ruan Tianzong is really too worried.
Wang Zhengye smiled and punched his brother, "Brother Huang wants to arrest someone, you don't need a reason. I want to see if those wealthy families have the guts to resist us!"
After saying that, he licked his lips excitedly.
He knows how wealthy those aristocratic families are.
If these forces really dare to organize people to resist while they are arresting local gangsters and officials, wouldn't they be facing the point of a gun?
You can take the opportunity to make a fortune yourself!
Wang Zhengye's words made everyone laugh.
Huang An also laughed. Regardless of the powerful rule of the officials of the Ming Empire, the responsibility of arresting those local ruffians was within the government's responsibilities.
Since it is a duty, what other reason is there?
However, Ruan Tianzong's words also gave Huang An a reminder.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said:
"The reason is that they colluded with the Li family and participated in the armor-making incident."
This reason is like a fig leaf, covering Huang An's thoughts on rectifying the entire Feng'an City.
In the same way, it also covered up his ambition to covet the entire Feng'an City.
Of course, it also covered up Huang An's hostile intention towards the aristocratic family and wanted to get rid of it quickly, and confused the leaders of the aristocratic family such as Zhang Sui'an.
After all, he also knew how to cover up, showing that he didn't want to break up with them yet.
"Go to Yan Long's place and receive thirty taels of silver each. I don't care how the money is spent, I just want to see the results! The local ruffians, the former officials and government servants, you can bully them as you like.
However, those with virtuous reputations are not allowed to offend or disturb them!"
Huang An directly assigned the task to the two of them and drew a bottom line.
Each received thirty taels of silver?
A flash of excitement flashed in their eyes.
Although this matter is very difficult and takes a long time, it is not dangerous.
The two of them have been in Feng'an City for a long time. Isn't it easy to find those ruffians?
As for the following requirements, no problem.
Although they are not really good people, they are not purely bad people either.
Ordinary people, even if they are full, will not bully the virtuous and famous, and the same is true for them.
"Brother, let's go first!"
The two clasped their fists and left, heading straight to the treasury.
After getting the money, their attitude towards Huang An became more and more respectful, and even their names changed.
After the two left, there were only three people left in the courtyard, Huang An himself, and two bodyguards, Chen Yu and Zhang Yi.
Huang An focused his attention on the two of them.
smiled and said:
"There is another mission, which one of you will go?"
Zhang Yi and Chen Yu were stunned. There is another mission?
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with the flames of competition. They both wanted to go.
Since the eldest brother left them until the end, then the last mission must be the most important.
In the same way, the remuneration given will also be higher.
This is an opportunity to make a fortune!
Both of them were ready to make a move.
However, they know that only one of them can get this opportunity.
Because there is still one person left to protect the elder brother.
Naturally they don't want to stay on their own.
"Brother, let me go!"
Zhang Yi was very shameless and spoke directly.
Chen Yu was a little slow to react, but he quickly raised his hand and said urgently: "Brother, I'll go, I'll go, I'm smart! Brother Zhang is old and stupid!"
For a few dozen taels of silver, two good brothers had a "fraternal killing" directly in front of Huang An.
"Okay, you two fight over it first. I'll find a few people, and I'll find you later!"
Huang An chuckled, shook his head at the two of them, turned around and went out.
When he disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Yi and Chen Yu started arguing again.
I don't know how the two of them discussed it until Huang An called Zhang Rang and Liu Long, who were temporary guards to maintain order, from the square outside the mansion.
Zhang Yi and Chen Yu have already discussed it.
"Brother, hey hey!"
When Zhang Yi saw Huang An and the others coming in, he smiled and hurriedly came over.
He noticed that Huang An was holding a bulging bag in his hand, which must be filled with silver! His eyes became increasingly hot.
Chen Yu also came forward with a bitter smile on his face.
Huang An glanced at the expressions of the two people and knew who was winning and who was losing.
There was still dust in the courtyard, and both of their faces were flushed, and their breathing was a little faster than before.
Especially Chen Yu, his hairstyle seemed to have been re-fixed.
Obviously, the two had a small fight and Zhang Yi won.
Chen Yu's hair style was messed up.
Huang An directly focused his attention on Zhang Yi, "Are you going?"
"Well, brother, I'll go!"
Zhang Yi's chest banged loudly, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Chen Yu on the side was filled with depression, with a look of despair on his face.
He can't beat Zhang Yi. It doesn't make sense. He was always the winner in previous competitions!
He was confused.
Huang An nodded, then flicked his hand and threw the money bag directly towards Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi's eyes flashed, and he took action like lightning, grabbing the silver in his hand and preparing to put it into his arms before going out later.
As soon as he took it into his hand, he tried it out and found that there were thirty taels of silver in the bag.
Holding the money bag tightly, Zhang Yi looked at Huang An respectfully, waiting for Huang An to assign the task.
His eyes were full of expectation.
He had actually guessed the task Huang An was going to assign to him.
After all, the elder brother has revealed it just now, it is very obvious.
