"Headmaster?" Lin Ze was a little surprised after hearing this. Then Lin Ze smiled and nodded: "Thank you for taking me so seriously, Master. Lin Ze will definitely be more dedicated."
In Lin Ze's original vision, there was no position of head of the headquarters. Even if there was one, it would be a false position.
Because the responsibilities of the head of the headquarters overlap with Hu Hai's identity, in the long run, it is not a very good position for Lai Linze. On the contrary, ministers in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the real powerful figures.
The reason why Lin Ze could accept it readily was that from the current perspective, Hu Hai's power and ambitions had not yet been fully formed.
The time left for Lin Ze to operate is relatively ample, otherwise, how could Lin Ze allow his fruit to be picked away by others.
When it comes time to fight for it, even if it is a false position, Lin Ze will find a way to fulfill it.
At present, Lin Ze's most important thing is martial arts training. If his martial arts training is not enough, even if he is given the most powerful position, Lin Ze will not be able to secure his position.
Lu Chunqiu is powerful enough. He has been in power for hundreds of years. It is not an exaggeration to say that "one person is inferior to tens of thousands of people". Didn't he end up committing suicide in the end?
Why did Lu Chunqiu commit suicide? According to the information recorded in the intelligence, when he entered the palace to plead guilty, he was severely injured by Emperor Qin.
How could Emperor Qin easily force Lu Chunqiu to death if he didn't have martial arts skills that could dominate the world?
Thinking of this, Lin Ze became even more obsessed with martial arts training. In addition to improving his cultivation level every day, he also used Xiao Jin's deduction to further analyze the book "The Illustrated Book of the God of War" to comprehensively improve his combat power.
Compared to southern Xinjiang, Hu Hai also had more time, and Lu Pheasant was surprisingly close to Hu Hai, and they often met to go to the market or put on lanterns.
It actually made Lin Ze a little more vigilant. Lin Ze clearly remembered the tragic end of the Western Han Dynasty veterans.
Lin Ze just watched with cold eyes. Even if he ate too much to hold on, he wouldn't care about this kind of thing. He just had to pay more attention to it.
…
Ten days later, Lin Ze was seriously practicing his sword skills in the yard, when someone came to report that a messenger sent by Chen Ping had arrived in Chang'an.
Lin Ze took the letter and read: Han Xin and Chen Ping led the Tianlang Army on a rapid march. They had passed Wuguan the day before yesterday, and they estimated that they would return to Chang'an in two days.
When Lin Ze found Hu Hai, he was fishing with Lu Pheasant by the fish pond.
Lin Ze bowed slightly and said, "Master, Sir, the Sirius Army will arrive in Chang'an soon. How do you plan to settle down?"
"Ah" Hu Hai exclaimed, then said with a happy face: "Are they coming back? Lin Ze, you always have a lot of ideas, how do you think we should settle them?"
Lin Ze had already known something in his mind, so he smiled and replied: "Didn't the young master promise that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded with fertile land? Why don't we settle in the farm under the young master's name outside the city, where we can have food and convenience, and can also calm the hearts of everyone."
"
Hu Hai's eyes lit up and he felt that it was very appropriate. He was about to agree, but Huang Banban said from the side: "But it is the time of summer harvest and the farm is busy. Is it appropriate for the army to go there?"
The smile on Lin Ze's face became even thicker: "Since it is the summer harvest of the young master's farm, the Sirius Army happened to go over to help. They are all a group of big men, and they have a lot of power in their hands."
Hu Hai immediately said: "Then it's settled, Lin Ze, I'll trouble you on this matter."
Lin Ze declined and said: "After all, Eunuch Huang is in charge of the farm, so I'd better trouble Eunuch Huang for this matter. Besides, the military supplies for the Sirius Army also require Eunuch Huang to worry about."
Hu Hai thought so, and then looked at Huang Banban, who accepted it without refusing.
"Sir, since the Sirius Army will return to Chang'an, some serious matters should start next." Lin Ze continued to say to Hu Hai.
A look of confusion appeared on Hu Hai's face: "What's the business?"
Lin Ze did not answer directly, but said to Lu Pheasant: "Miss Lu, please summon all the shopkeepers of the Lu family and the directors of each farm. We will gather at the farm outside the city in three days. The location will be informed to you by Eunuch Huang.
"
Lu Pheasant also felt a little strange: "Master Lin, what does this mean?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "For no other reason, since the Lu family has taken refuge with the young master and has many people in the family, asking them to come here is also to let them know who is the real master now."
Lu Fei's expression changed when he heard this, and he was about to cry: "Master Lin, are you going to completely annex my Lu family? Are you so hard-hearted?"
Hu Hai couldn't bear to watch on the side and said, "Lin Ze, is this necessary? Will it cause panic to the Lu family?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said sternly: "I made an agreement with the Prime Minister in the past that the Lu family would bring people to seek refuge with the young master, and the young master would give him protection. When the young master takes off in the future, he will repay him twice as much."
"Now that the Lu family is sincerely seeking refuge, why do they still have to cover it up? Besides, I think the Lu family will feel at ease only when the young master's name is known. Otherwise, the Lu family, which is facing decline, will not be able to control people's hearts.
"
"I also ask Miss Lu to recognize the reality, and also ask the young master to think about the great cause."
Are you kidding me? Will Lin Ze allow the Lu family to still have vacillating strength? If he doesn't quickly swallow the fat he got, will he wait until he grows wings and flies away?
At this time, Huang Banban also spoke: "Master, I think what Lin Ze said is reasonable. Without rules, there is no rule. Since the master is the master, he should have the majesty of a master. No matter what, the people under the sect should also pay homage to him."
.”
Lin Ze secretly praised Huang Banban. In fact, this matter was also a good thing for Huang Banban. He originally fell into the misunderstanding that he did not have enough manpower to take over all the Lu family's industries, but Lin Ze gave him an idea.
If we don’t have enough people, why don’t we just turn others into our own people?
Hu Hai was not a fool. Lin Ze and Huang Banban must have good intentions for him, so they turned to look at Lu Pheasant, waiting for her to express her stance.
Three pairs of eyes were staring at him closely. Surrounded by him was Lu Pheasant, who thought he was usually generous and generous. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little cramped.
Recalling his great-grandfather's instructions before his death, Lu Zhi replied with a gloomy face: "Since both Master and Master Lin think it is necessary, I will send someone to deliver the message."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Ze. The faint light in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh: What the hell is this about holding a grudge? Woman.
However, Lin Ze had no choice but not to do it. At present, Hu Hai's power was still too weak. If he didn't annex and grow, how could he have a chance to win over Fusu?
Lin Ze is not the kind of person who does nothing and waits for things to succeed.
…
Three days later, Lin Ze and Hu Hai left the city early to meet their powerful army, the Sirius Army.
At this time, at a reception pavilion outside the city, under Lin Ze's gaze, the Sirius Army, wearing black armor and with a rainbow of momentum, appeared in his sight.
The army dispersed without chaos and rushed over quickly. Under the leadership of Han Xin, they arrived in front of Lin Ze and Hu Hai in the blink of an eye.
Han Xin was the first to dismount from his horse and salute: "Greetings to the young master, greetings to the military advisor." His voice was loud and clear.
Then all the soldiers dismounted one after another and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the young master, paying homage to the military advisor."
Hu Hai's face lit up with joy, and he kept saying: "No gifts, no gifts." After all, he had fought bloody battles with him on the front line, and he had a special feeling.
Lin Ze also had a smile on his lips, got on his horse and said, "Master has prepared wine and meat for everyone, but as a rule, those who run fast eat the meat, and those who run slow eat the chaff, come with me."
After saying that, he took the lead and started running wildly.
This sentence directly ignited the atmosphere of the Sirius Army. He reacted quickly and immediately got on his horse and chased Lin Ze. For a moment, the formation was relatively neat, but it immediately dispersed. Thousands of people were seen shouting.
Horse galloping.
Han Xin stood aside blankly and sighed: "The military counselor's method of mobilizing morale is so powerful that I can't believe it."
Chen Ping reminded from the side: "Commander Han, run quickly. Uncle Master always keeps his word. If you run too slowly, you will really have to eat the chaff."
After saying that, he slapped his horse hard and galloped away.
Han Xin was startled and stunned. He was the only one left there. He immediately got on his horse and chased after him, shouting: "Wait for me."
