Chapter two hundred and sixty-two subduing the hearts of the people
After Lin Ze returned to Tingwei Mansion with a group of black-clad guards, the first thing he did was to "divide the spoils."
This time, Lin Ze gained a lot. In addition to more than 600 fourth-grade treasures, there was also a total of more than 300,000 gold.
For now, the Earthly Treasures are necessary cultivation resources for Lin Ze, so he naturally takes them all under his control without hesitation.
Lin Ze then summoned all the black-clad guards who participated in the incident at the martial arts arena.
Lin Ze first smiled and announced loudly: "Brothers, please recognize my new commander Lin Ze clearly. Don't fail to recognize him next time we meet."
Zhang Qianhu was the smartest and was the first to reply loudly: "My subordinates pay homage to the commander."
Then the other thousands of households saluted and said, not to be outdone, "Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief."
Lin Ze nodded and smiled: "Excuse me, everyone. I am summoning you here mainly for two reasons. First, since I took office, I have not met most of the people here, so I went out of my way to make myself familiar."
"Secondly, I am very satisfied with what happened today, so I would like to commend you all. I always reward you for your merits and punish you for your mistakes. You may not know me well, so let's start from today.
"
Then Lin Ze clapped his hands and said, "Someone, bring it up."
I saw the six people who collected the ransom, working in pairs, carrying three large boxes to the stage, and then opened them. The light of gold immediately emanated from the boxes.
This was Lin Ze who specially sent people to the bank to exchange gold tickets for real gold, which made it even more shocking.
Just like some companies in later generations, year-end bonuses are deliberately piled up with cash. Although it is not much in the hands of employees, it looks very shocking and eye-catching.
As Lin Ze expected, the eyes of the black-clad guards in the audience shone with a strange light after seeing the three large boxes of gold.
Lin Ze spoke at the right time: "These are all used by me to reward you. What do you think?"
Suddenly the atmosphere on the field erupted, and the guards in black shouted one after another: "Thank you, Commander, for the reward."
Lin Ze stretched out his hand and pressed it, and his voice suddenly disappeared, and then he said: "The black-clothed guards belong to the ordinary soldiers. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred gold. They will be collected according to the team. No looting or disturbing order. Violators will be disqualified and expelled.
Out come the black-clad guards."
"After the ordinary soldiers and guards have received their gifts, each of the small banners will come on stage and each will receive two hundred gold. By analogy, each person in the general banner will receive five hundred gold, and each of the hundred households will receive one thousand gold. Everyone will have it."
"After everyone received it, they left the martial arts arena directly and were not allowed to come back."
Lin Ze would definitely not let anyone receive it twice, so he specially added this line.
Then more than a thousand guards in black lined up in a long queue. Each time one came, after receiving the order, they spontaneously saluted Lin Ze.
We are all people who know right from wrong, and we know who has benefited from it, so that we can benefit today.
After these people were dismissed, only ten thousand households and six people who distributed gold were left in the black guards at the scene.
Lin Ze smiled at the thousands of households and said, "You all performed well this time. I am very satisfied. Please come and receive five thousand gold each."
Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the thousands of households couldn't stop overflowing. They stepped forward, took their own portions in their hands, and saluted Lin Ze repeatedly.
I couldn't help but think to myself: Following this new commander, if nothing else, the reward I received during this period was more than what my predecessor had received in ten years.
Zhang Qianhu was the first to express his loyalty and said: "My lord's kindness will be unforgettable by my subordinates. From now on, whenever your lord gives orders, my subordinates will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lin Ze just smiled: "Okay, I understand. Don't forget, this operation is not over yet. Everyone go back and keep an eye on those people. If anyone violates the laws of Daqin, continue to arrest them.
Remember, you can only arrest those who have broken the law, and you cannot frame them. If I let this officer know who dares to disobey orders and arrest people indiscriminately, I will definitely not be able to spare him."
The faces of the thousands of households were stern, and they said in unison: "I obey my orders."
Lin Ze waved his hand and asked them to retreat.
At the same time, Lin Ze summoned Wu Fan and said, "Put out 10,000 gold from this box and send it to Mr. Ai Hui. Tell him to pay close attention to this matter and don't let the boat capsize in the gutter."
Wu Fan heard this and replied: "I obey my orders."
"Go back quickly. When you come back, you can take away your share of five thousand gold."
Wu Fan replied with a smile on his face: "I will set off right away. Sir, please wait for a moment and you will be back soon."
After saying that, he took the 10,000 gold that the six people had counted for him, gathered his energy and quickly ran to Ai Hui's office.
Lin Ze turned to the remaining six people and said calmly: "You have done a great job this time. Each of you will receive three thousand gold. Isn't that too little?"
The fat man immediately replied with a smile: "Sir, three thousand gold can buy the lives of my subordinates. How can it be too little? Speaking of which, the little ones got more than a hundred households. How can I sell my life for it?"
It’s not a loss if you give it to your lord.”
Lin Ze still said calmly: "I have already said that what you are going to do must be life-threatening, but you will earn a lot of money. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will not treat you badly."
The fat man nodded repeatedly: "That's what my lord said."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "You should go back first. If I have something to do, I will naturally ask Wu Fan to contact you."
The six people left happily with heavy amounts of gold.
Lin Ze looked at the backs of the six people and murmured to himself: "I did what was supposed to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and I also spent a lot of money to win over people's hearts. With the combination of kindness and power, I should have almost conquered these people's hearts.
I hope you can remember my goodness and don’t let me raise the butcher knife again.”
After Wu Fan came back and took away his share, there was still half a box of gold left in the three big boxes.
Lin Ze directly picked it up, ran to Hu Hai's right cell, and threw it in front of Hu Hai.
Hu Hai couldn't help but be stunned: "Lin Ze, where did you get so much gold?"
Lin Ze said nonchalantly: "What Fusu gave me now belongs to you, Master. Didn't I get some golden tickets from Master a few days ago? Now I have earned them for you, Master."
Hu Hai thought for a moment and said, "That's not right, Lin Ze. I remember that the ransom was more than this. Where did the rest go?"
Lin Ze replied nonchalantly: "Oh, there are more than 300,000 gold in total. I distributed more than 200,000 to my black-clad guards to win them over."
Hu Hai felt a burst of heartache and pointed at Lin Ze, unable to say anything. You prodigal son, you just gave away more than 200,000 gold so casually.
After thinking about it carefully, Hu Haicai felt much better when he realized that these were from Lin Zekeng's Fusu.
After a while, Hu Hai suddenly said: "Lin Ze, in the next few days, I will go back to the palace to retreat for a few days. You can handle some matters by yourself."
Lin Ze showed a smile and said: "Congratulations, young master, for breaking through to the middle level at a young age. From then on, he became a master of martial arts and became powerful in the world."
Hu Hai couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this. Then he remembered that Lin Ze had made a breakthrough three years earlier than him, and any joy suddenly disappeared.
