After Lin Ze came out of Ba's house, he couldn't help but feel a little refreshed. Things went more smoothly than he imagined, including the dramatic family recognition.
However, Chen Ping looked a little unhappy. Lin Ze frowned and asked, "You don't seem happy?"
Chen Ping said with a face full of shame: "My nephew is incompetent, so my uncle has been wronged."
Lin Ze frowned: "Where do I feel wronged?"
Chen Ping sighed and said: "Uncle, please stop pretending. As a nephew, can't you see that uncle is forced to recognize the old lady of the Ba family as his aunt? With uncle's pride and talent, if it weren't for a perfect solution,
Why do you need to be so apologetic about the trouble left by your nephew?"
"My uncle's love for me is something my nephew will always remember. But what my uncle did was just for my nephew's sake. It's a bit too unworthy."
Lin Ze's brows relaxed and he said calmly: "What did I think it was? It turns out it was for this matter. Is it worth it or not? It's just an exchange of interests. Take a step back and say, your uncle, I said this
Auntie, you can exchange it for 300,000 tons of grain and rice, or even more, I think it's quite worth it."
Chen Ping retorted in a low voice: "Didn't Uncle Master say to buy at the market price?"
Lin Ze sneered and said: "You just bought some and gave it a try? Okay, don't think about it so much. I'm not just doing this for you, uncle."
"Since we want to establish a foothold in Shu and develop, the support of the Ba family is indispensable. Today's words of aunt are just the Anba family's heart. I don't care, and the Ba family doesn't care either. At best, they are just different people.
Get what you need, no matter who wins or loses."
"If you feel guilty, use your energy to turn your potential into strength, and govern Shu well so that Young Master Hu Hai can develop his strength. This will make my respect for you in vain."
Chen Ping's face was solemn: "Master nephew, I obey."
In Lin Ze's view, the so-called recognition of relatives is more like a marriage proposal. It is of little use, but it is indispensable. As a link to maintain the relationship between the two families, it is most suitable.
Anyway, Lin Ze didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage. Not to mention that the Ba family was one of the top families in the world, and it wouldn't be an insult to recognize him as a relative. Even with the meeting gift given by the widow Qing, Lin Ze felt that he had made a lot of money.
A total of ten seventh-grade talents were given to Lin Ze by Widow Qing as a meeting gift. If possible, Lin Ze would like to recognize a few more of these kind of relatives. If he recognizes a few more, Lin Ze might have the resources to be promoted to a grandmaster.
That's it.
Of course, there are only a few top-notch families like the Ba family in the entire world.
After the whole thing came to an end, Lin Ze began to practice in seclusion again. Chen Ping took care of everything until Han Xin and Yu Ziqi returned with their troops, and Lin Ze had to go out to deal with the matter.
Just as others in the Governor's Mansion thought, except for Lin Ze and Hu Hai, probably no one would dare to do such a thing as disarmament.
Three consecutive years of military service made Han Xin and Yu Ziqi's young faces look more determined. They met with Lin Ze immediately after returning.
In any case, the two of them could not achieve what they have today without the support of Lin Ze. Han Xin was discovered by Lin Ze personally and has been leading the army under Hu Hai's sect. Through this, he attracted enough military power and successfully advanced to the fifth level.
As a high-level person, he is naturally grateful to Lin Ze.
As for Yu Ziqi, when he first led the army, he lost a lot of soldiers due to his poor skills. If it weren't for Lin Ze's support, he would have lost the qualification to lead the army long ago.
Lin Ze met the two of them in the official hall. After sitting down, his first words were: "Where is the young master? Why don't you see him come back?"
Yu Ziqi had no choice but to reply: "Young Master sent someone to send a message saying that the military advisor can do whatever he wants. He will be busy chasing down that sixth-level monster and will not have time to come back. By the way, Young Master also said that he will do whatever he wants by chasing him.
Killing monsters, my martial arts cultivation has been improving rapidly, maybe I will surpass the military master when I come back."
Lin Ze had a strange expression on his face and said, "Oh, does he know that my military advisor is already at the intermediate level of the sixth level of martial arts?"
After hearing this, Yu Ziqi almost couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth, and said with a strange expression: "You probably don't know. In your impression, the military advisor should still be at the peak of the fifth rank."
Lin Ze waved his hands after hearing this and said: "It's rare that the young master wants to focus on martial arts, so just let him go. Anyway, we can manage Shu for him. By the way, my military advisor asked you to come back this time for this reason.
Are you two mentally prepared for the farming issue?"
Yu Ziqi and Han Xin looked at each other, raised their hands and asked, "I wonder if the military advisor has any good regulations?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "There is no good regulation. It is to filter out the original 80,000 soldiers and leave 30,000 elite soldiers. The remaining 50,000 soldiers will go to farm."
Han Xin smiled bitterly and said, "If we do this, I'm afraid the soldiers will mutiny."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Don't be so pessimistic about things. As the battlefield is dangerous, there are not many wars now. It is a good thing that the soldiers can come back alive and there are millions of acres of fertile land to accommodate them."
Han Xin smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the soldiers can't understand the military advisor's good intentions."
Lin Ze nodded: "This is a problem, but it is not difficult to solve. To be honest, let's put it another way. Let's not talk about how many people are needed to farm the fields. Let's just say that our military advisor has specially prepared millions of fertile fields to accommodate the soldiers. We welcome the soldiers.
Sign up enthusiastically.”
"At the same time, the rewards can also be better. For example, the first one to sign up can choose 100 acres of fertile land and be rewarded with thousands of gold as resettlement fees. The second to 100th place can choose 50 acres of fertile land and be rewarded with 500 gold.
One hundred to two hundred people, with thirty acres of fertile land at their disposal, and a bounty of two hundred. In this way, the soldiers who originally wanted to take off their armor and return to the fields will naturally be tempted."
"After the soldiers who took the initiative to work in the fields have been settled, we will then think of other ways to get the other soldiers to work in the fields conscientiously. This matter cannot be done in a hurry, so it needs to be done slowly."
Han Xin and Yu Ziqi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They were most afraid that Lin Ze would be tough and radical, which would lead to the end of the matter. Looking at it this way, the strategist was still a strategist, and he was very cunning and calculating.
Lin Ze continued: "As for those soldiers who refuse to leave, we can't do too much. After all, they have fought for us, and in the future, we may have to recruit them into the army. I have a soft side.
Just, there are two methods, you two can sum them up."
"The gentle ones, select a few of the soldiers who take the initiative to work in the fields and have a prosperous life. From time to time, they will come to the military camp to visit their friends, promote the pastoral life, and induce them."
"Gangzhe, do you two still remember how my military advisor trained the Sirius Army?"
Han Xin immediately understood what Lin Ze meant and blurted out: "The military advisor said that the last one will be eliminated?"
Lin Ze nodded and said: "Yes, the army can adopt this method. Every time the last team is assessed, they go to farm without any conditions. The assessment does not need to be too frequent. There is a small test in January, a high school test in March, and a big test in half a year. We will see.
Just make arrangements, I think the winner is king, and those soldiers probably won’t have any big objections.”
Han Xin and Yu Ziqi said in unison: "The military advisor is wise, and the soldiers will definitely be convinced."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't flatter me. I'll leave it to you and me on how to handle this matter. Don't let me down. In addition, for the remaining 30,000 troops, I will also handle this matter for you."
You two should separate first, so that you two won't have to fight over your subordinates."
"Han Xin, you receive 20,000 yuan, and Yu Ziqi receives 10,000 yuan. Do you two have any opinions?"
The two shook their heads and expressed that they had no objection to this.
Lin Ze picked up the teacup and gestured slightly.
Han Xin and Yu Ziqi immediately understood each other and said: "My subordinates resign."
When he was about to leave, Han Xin suddenly said: "Didn't the military advisor say before that there should be at least 50,000 elite troops? Why do we need to disarm now?"
Lin Ze said without raising his head: "Who said this is disarmament? A soldier who has a hoe will not be able to hold a knife? A true elite should dismount his horse to sow the ground and mount his horse to kill the enemy."
Han Xin and Yu Ziqi looked at each other speechlessly, then turned and left.
After that, the land of Shu began the vigorous farming business.
