Chapter 412: The Years Are Quiet (The Last Chapter of This Volume)
After Lin Ze explained everything, he immersed himself in seclusion and practice again.
After reaching a consensus, neither Chen Ping nor the Ba family was procrastinating. The day after Lin Ze handed over the barbarian business to Chen Ping, Chen Ping walked together with the elder of the Ba family in charge of the matter.
They went to the prisoner camp and began to select suitable personnel.
Yes, the first buyer of this transaction was the Ba family. Lin Ze had kept these barbarians before, mainly to take care of the fertile land taken from the three families. Although the Ba family wanted to participate, they did not do so due to sentiment.
Open your mouth.
Now that Lin Ze plans to sell these barbarians, the Ba family, which owns many mines, must naturally give priority to meeting their own needs.
A large number of Ba family people poured into the prison camp, and then each of them looked languid (they had been hungry for several days), but in fact they were once strong and strong barbarian men. They were singled out by the Ba family servants with vicious eyes and locked up with chains.
, put it aside.
Next, these people will be taken to the mines, where they will spend their next lives in darkness until they die.
Another wave was led by the steward of the Ba family, who selected all barbarian children under the age of five, registered them, and took large-scale measures to roughly check the martial arts qualifications of these children, and finally marked them into several levels.
This list will be clearly marked with a price, and will be carried by the Ba family's caravans to various places, asking the martial arts families outside Shu if they want to buy some and train them to be dead soldiers.
After two selections, most of the remaining barbarians will be sold at the cheapest price.
A few days later, as news of the Ba family's caravan came back, the number of barbarians in the prison camp became smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely.
…
After the matter of farming was handed over to Han Xin and Yu Ziqi, it only started for a few days. Yu Ziqi hurried over to find Lin Ze and said, "Military advisor, it's not good. Some soldiers are dissatisfied with the farming.
They are inciting trouble in the military camp."
Making trouble? Lin Ze frowned slightly and said, "Are there many people making trouble?"
Yu Ziqi thought for a while and replied: "Preliminary estimates indicate that there are at least hundreds of people making trouble. My subordinates have ordered each battalion and team to build separate camps to suppress the matter for the time being."
Lin Ze continued to ask: "Have you ever explained the matter clearly?"
Yu Ziqi said firmly: "I promise that I will tell you clearly. If the military advisor doesn't believe me, I will know after just asking."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "That's strange. Since everything is done according to the regulations, why do you come to our military advisor? Do you think military law does not exist?"
Yu Ziqi was slightly startled and said cautiously: "My subordinates are still somewhat unclear. Can the military advisor make it clear?"
Lin Ze said in a voice without emotion: "According to military law, those who disturb the morale of the army should be killed. If these people have meritorious service in the war, half of them will be punished. But those who spread rumors and are dissatisfied with the general will be punished with thirty military sticks, and the maximum is to kill without mercy."
, and regardless of the crime, once discovered, he will be immediately dismissed from the army and will never be hired."
"If you don't want to farm, just use your ability to fight for it. If you want to be careful and keep it, you won't even be able to farm."
Yu Ziqi's face was a bit unbearable: "According to the military advisor's recruitment standards, these soldiers are all brave men. If they are to work in the fields, the military advisor can still recruit them at any time in the future. If they are dismissed from the army, it may hurt the morale of the army."
Lin Ze stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the table. When it fell in Yu Ziqi's ear, it was like thunder.
Yu Ziqi hurriedly bowed and said, "What my subordinate said is wrong, please ask the military advisor to correct me."
Lin Ze replied expressionlessly: "What you said is of course wrong. Brave men are needed for the army, but they are not necessary. Only a well-disciplined army is more likely to win every battle.
"
"A group of people who don't even obey the general's orders, how do you expect them to win the war? Or, if you let them farm, they all have objections, and one day you let them die? I'm afraid they will turn against you."
Yu Ziqi was silent for a long time, and then he replied: "I will teach you."
Lin Ze waved his hand boredly and said: "Go ahead, do as I say, there won't be any big problems. By the way, you can learn from Han Xin when you have time, and he won't be troubled by this kind of problem.
Troubled.”
An embarrassed smile appeared on Yu Ziqi's face, and he said reluctantly: "The military advisor taught me a lesson, and my subordinates resigned." Then his smile faded, and he handed over his hands and left.
Lin Ze looked at Yu Ziqi's leaving figure and shook his head slightly. Even if a child from an aristocratic family has some talents, he is bound to have some bad habits.
Just when Yu Ziqi came over to talk about this, Lin Ze felt that something was wrong. With Han Xin's military skills, how could he not even understand this?
Therefore, Lin Ze easily deduced that Yu Ziqi came to him privately and even had some objections to some of Han Xin's actions.
Obviously, Han Xin's position was higher than that of Yu Ziqi. Naturally, Yu Ziqi couldn't suppress Han Xin, so he found Lin Ze's head.
Lin Ze just hit Yu Ziqi gently in the end, hoping that he could understand it on his own.
You can fight, but you must fight within Lin Ze's rules, such as leading troops to fight. You Yu Ziqi is indeed better than Han Xin. Lin Ze doesn't mind giving more benefits. Can you think of Lin Ze as a fool for this kind of private calculation?
…
A few days later, Xu Gao came to see him, saying that he had invited him to help the farmer. The elders and disciples rushed to Shu and wanted to say hello to the "master".
After hearing this, Lin Ze immediately ordered the kitchen of the Governor's Mansion to prepare a banquet, and planned to personally entertain the farmers to show respect.
As a son of a peasant family, Xu Gao naturally felt that he was saving face and agreed on behalf of the people in his sect.
Before the dinner started, Lin Ze met the farmer elder and twelve farmer disciples in the banquet hall, all dressed up like old farmers.
Lin Ze looked at Xu Gao, who looked like a noble man, with a look of confusion on his face. Why did he feel that this product was fake?
The farmer seemed to have noticed Lin Ze's doubts, and quickly explained: "Junior Brother Xu is not dressed the same as us, but he is indeed a direct disciple of the farmer, so there is no need for you to be surprised."
Lin Ze smiled heartily and said: "Of course I don't judge people by their appearance. A little doubt made the elders laugh."
The farmer's elders didn't even dare to say anything.
Lin Ze then stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture: "Everyone, please have a seat." Then he took the main seat without hesitation.
Xu Gao followed him and took the second seat. The farmer elder took the other disciples and sat down in an orderly manner.
Lin Ze glanced at Xu Gao thoughtfully. No matter which family he belonged to, they were all about hierarchy. The farmer actually acted like it was natural for Xu Gao to sit on top of him. It seemed that Xu Gao's status in the farmer's family was not high.
Not low.
Lin Ze thought about it for a while. Which disciple, if something happened outside, would just ask the sect to send the elders out?
After sitting down, Lin Ze said with a smile: "I am really grateful that you all came from afar to help me, so I have prepared some small gifts. I hope you won't find it objectionable." Then he clapped his hands, and a group of waiters carried them one by one.
Plate covered with red cloth.
The farmer elder glanced at Xu Gao, shook his head and said, "You're welcome, sir. As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit. You can wait until the future to give these gifts."
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Elder, why don't you open it and see what kind of gift it is? I'm afraid that if you give it to me in the future, the elder will be dissatisfied."
Then Lin Ze signaled the waiter to uncover the red cloth, and saw some lumps with strange shapes and colors on it.
The farmer's face changed and he shouted urgently: "Are these the seeds of heaven and earth's treasures?"
Lin Ze smiled calmly: "Yes, what do you think, elder?"
The farmer's elder looked delighted: "Thank you for the gift, sir. I would be disrespectful to refuse it."
It has to be said that Lin Ze knows how to do what he likes. Giving seeds to such a pure "farmer" is more popular than giving him money.
Then Lin Ze raised his wine bottle and had a drink with the farmers.
Maybe he drank some wine, or maybe Lin Ze's seeds impressed the farmer.
The farmer elder toasted Lin Ze and said, "Your Majesty, you have called me here just for the sake of millions of acres of fertile land. There is something I have to say beforehand, and I hope your Majesty will think about it."
Lin Ze naturally smiled and replied: "Elder, please speak."
The farmer put down the wine bottle and sighed: "According to my farmer's observation, in the past few years, the yield of all the fertile fields in the world has been reduced, especially in the south and north rivers. I hope you will be mentally prepared. If there are millions of acres of fertile land,
The reduction in production may be caused by the weather, not by people or people.”
Lin Ze was horrified after hearing this. Could this world really be in chaos?
But with a smile on his face, he replied: "Elder, just try your best. I believe that the farmer will not deceive me."
Then, the guests and hosts had a great time while drinking and drinking.
…
After going round and round, another two months passed. Lin Ze opened the door of the secret room, breathed in the vitality emanating from heaven and earth, and felt the seventy-two acupuncture points in his body, including the Dantian, sparkling at the peak of the sixth level.
, it’s done today.
The true energy in his body was flowing back and forth, and Lin Ze felt that his whole body was full of strength.
The only fly in the ointment is that the martial arts realm has reached the peak of the sixth level, but only about one-tenth of the true energy in the body has been stored.
This was a sign that his realm was higher than his cultivation level. Even though Lin Ze took supplements like crazy every day, he still couldn't fill his body with true energy as his martial arts realm increased even more crazily.
Lin Ze looked at Chang'an in the distance and murmured a beautiful poem from his previous life: "The years are peaceful, just wait for the flowers to bloom."
