"A house, daily needs, and half a tael of silver!" Those 'Cui's' private soldiers, you look at me and I look at you, all with a look of disbelief. In this era, how could a private soldier be treated so favorably, usually they were crowded and slept together, living on the meager food and salary distributed by the master's family.

"Is that true?" A private soldier asked timidly.

"Wen someone never speaks. Words are like arrows that go out! Wen Han's eyes were clear, and he swore an oath, giving people a strong sense of convincing.

Each of the one hundred and fifty 'Cui clans' quickly weighed the gains and losses in their hearts, and after a while, a total of one hundred and twenty people were willing to submit to Wen Han, and the remaining thirty people left gloomily because they were worried about the Cui Mansion. Wen Han did not hinder them, and asked them to loosen their ties and let these thirty people go back.

Wen Han asked Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to search how many rooms and belongings there were in the courtyard, and after a while, Pei Yuanshao came back first and reported: "In the courtyard, there are 676 small rooms, 12 medium rooms, 5 large rooms, and one master room, covering an area of seven acres. The rest of the Hyogo, the storehouse, the school field, the horse farm, etc., cover an area of three acres, and there are ten acres of farmland. ”

At this time, Li Qiang also came back, and after Pei Yuanshao finished speaking, he made a salute and said: "In the village, there are 300 iron spears, 200 iron knives, 300 bows, 3,000 arrows, 600 armor, and 20 taels of grain (one load is 100 catties, enough for 100 people to eat for several months), and 30 horses. No gold and silver jewelry was found, and it should have been transported away by Cui's people last night. ”

"Hmph, this Cui family is smart and knows how to take away the valuables first. But it's enough, enough for me to need now. From now on, the soldiers and horses of Black Wind Village will be named 'Black Wind Soldiers', and this matter is only known to us in private, so don't spread it. This army was led by Pei Yuanshao. And the 120 private soldiers of Na Cui Mansion will be led by Li Qiang in the future as my escort.

Now take your men to choose a room and settle down. After that, when you hear the roosters crowing every day, you have to start training them for three hours a day. In the afternoon, he ordered them to go down to the fields and plant for three hours a day. Tell them that this farmland is theirs and this grain is their food, and that they should not desert me and think that they are ashamed to do so. The rest of the hour will be arranged by the two of you, but remember, don't mess around!

This is how their day's work and rest are arranged. In the gambling house, Pei Yuanshao, you pick out a hundred people to help in the gambling house every day, and rotate each other. Once you have settled down, I will start to carry out my plan to hold a 'horse hanging' competition, which will require a large number of people. In short, training, farming, and gambling are three things, and the two of you have arranged them for me, you know?

There was silence in the courtyard, and Wen Han looked at them, and read a lot from their incredible expressions. In this era, it is rare to see such a good encounter as a private soldier. Originally, Wen Han was just talking about it, but when the matter was decided, it was a different attitude.

Especially Pei Yuanshao, he originally thought that Wen Han would hold the power tightly in his hands, but he didn't expect Wen Han to give him the power, which made Pei Yuanshao's heart flutter and his heart was excited.

When the Black Wind Soldiers and the Guardians came back to their senses, there was a burst of elated calls. Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang knelt down on one knee to receive the order, and from today onwards, the two of them have a new identity.

"Oh, I think of something when it comes to the gambling house. That Ma Zong also has to be solved. Li Qiang, you secretly contacted Ma Zong's people to see if they could bring some people over, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. All you need to do is tell them that I only give them three days to choose, and after three days I will take someone to sweep the gambling house of Ma Zong! ”

Wen Han suddenly remembered something, and immediately instructed Li Qiang. Li Qiang had just been promoted, and he was worried that he had no chance to perform at the moment, so he immediately received his order, and he already had several targets in mind.

"Good. Things are all arranged. Pei Yuanshao, Li Qianger and the others will take their men to choose a house now, Li Qiangru's guards will let the Black Wind Soldiers choose first, don't complain, the Black Wind Soldiers have merits, so let them choose first. It's the same in the future, whoever takes credit for it will enjoy more.

Pei Yuanshao, you listen to me. Don't let me know, open the back door to whoever you have a good relationship with. Here, they are all Wu Wenhan's people. Regardless of the relationship, only merit. If you want to eat well and live well, you can train well and make more contributions in the future, and you can get it. You know? ”

Wen Han's idea of leading soldiers was more or less influenced by the thoughts of later generations, and he would not use it only for relatives, but on merit. In this way, the people under him will become much more active.

Because, Wen Han gave them hope. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can get the hope you want.

In ancient times, the scholars held power, and the powerful were all cronies of the scholars. Even if you have the strength, if you don't have a certain net worth background, you are destined to live a poor life.

The Black Wind Soldier and the newly joined escort team, a total of five hundred people, looked at Wen Han in unison. I was thinking that they had followed a good host who was different.

With a new place to live, every private soldier is happy. Under the arrangement of Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang, they began to live in their own rooms in an orderly manner. Because there are 676 small rooms, it is not difficult for Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to be distributed, and every private soldier who is assigned accepts it with a smile on his face.

As for some people with meritorious achievements, like Li Goujiaozi, he made great contributions to the battle against Huang Le. Wen Han specially ordered him to live in a medium room. And Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang were assigned to the big house. The largest master bedroom naturally belongs to Wen Han.

However, Wen Han did not live in it for the time being, it is far away from the gambling house in the county, and it is not convenient to operate the gambling house. In the past few days, Wen Han plans to go to the gambling house to observe and see what details need to be improved. Seeing that Wen Han didn't move in, Li Qiang stubbornly refused to move in, and said as a matter of course: "I am Gongzi's entourage, where Gongzi is, of course I, Li Qiang, am there!" ”

Wen Han didn't force it, and there was indeed someone around him, so he let Li Qiang continue to live with him in the Zhou Mansion.

At the same time, in the hall of Cui Mansion in Xie County.

The patriarch of the Cui clan, 'Cui Wang', was listening with a frosty face, and had just been beaten away by Wen Han and returned to the mansion with a report from the housekeeper.

"Hahaha. Okay, yesterday Yang Honggang took most of the family property I gave to Huang Le, and today the young man took Zhuangzi and forcibly collected 120 of my private soldiers. Well, that's good! ”

Cui Wang laughed angrily, and the housekeeper trembled in fright.

"Master, Yang County can't afford to offend us. But the young man is indeed hateful, and the villain has told the master that he is familiar with the ten permanent servants 'Gao Wang'. But the young man was disdainful and still led people to rob Zhuangzi. It's better for the master to go to Beijing..."

"Shut your dog's mouth! That young man has Yang Hong's warrant, Yang Hong is an official of the imperial court, and he represents the imperial court! I went to Beijing to sue that young man for being unreasonable, not to mention such a trivial matter, so I found Master Gao, wouldn't this make me tell Lord Gao that our Cui family is incompetent! ”

"Yes, yes. The villain is ignorant, please forgive the adult. Cui's housekeeper hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. I was afraid that Cui Wang would bring his anger to his head and take his life.

"The young man is brave in his hands, and he has Yang Hong's support. I am fighting with it now, and even if I win, I will not gain much profit. This is the end of the matter, but I have written it down. May that young man not make a mistake, otherwise I will let death have no place to bury! ”

Cui Wang, as the patriarch of the Shi clan, knew how to give it up, and after weighing it in his heart, he made up his mind. However, looking at the yin owl flowing from his eyes, he hated Wen Han to the core.

By noon, the rooms of the Black Wind Soldiers and the Guardians had finally been allotted. Wen Han sat in the hall of the village with Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao chatting about things.

At this time, Zhou Long was riding a horse and rushed into the village with an anxious expression.

"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother! Why are you not called a brother for such a big thing. Don't you see that you can't kill the enemy because of your brother's clumsy hands, and you dislike being a brother. Zhou Long saw Wen Han and them sitting in the hall, and said breathlessly after getting off the horse.

Wen Han hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and knew that Zhou Long was talking about today's seizure of the village: "Brother Zhou, you just took office today." Such trivial matters, don't bother you. ”

"Oops, what's the trouble! Didn't you say, you and I are separated? How can it be so outward! I ask you if you're moving into this house now. You have to give up being a brother and your sister-in-law! ”

After Wen Han heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "Where will it be." My sister-in-law's cooking is the best in the world, and I can't eat without my sister-in-law. What's more, even if I want to move into this village, I will definitely let you and your sister-in-law move in with Brother Zhou. Otherwise, who cares about the belly of the younger brother. ”

Zhou Long's originally unhappy face suddenly laughed: "That's, that's." Although the mother-in-law of the brother's family has no merits, this cooking skill is a must. Virtuous brother, for my brother, go home and let the mother-in-law prepare tonight's meal, and you will remember to come back for dinner later. Then Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao also came together, and I will continue to get drunk tonight. ”

Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said hello. Zhou Long said a few more words to Wen Han, and then got on the horse and left.

This surprise made Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao confused. Wen Han was extremely warm-hearted, he knew that Zhou Long was reluctant to live with him, the two had a deep relationship, and they had experienced life and death. In Zhou Long's words, his relationship with Wen Han is closer and better than that blood brother!

In the evening, Zhoufu.

At Wen Han's strong request, Lin sat down at a rare table. A few people moved their hands (there were no chopsticks at that time), and they ate with relish and without any restraint, just like a big family eating happily.

After a while, after a full meal and wine. Wen Han asked about the situation of the gambling house about the Lin family, who now manages the gambling house.

"Since Uncle Wen invented the horse crane two months ago, the income of the gambling house has been increasing. Especially with the continuous promotion of horse cranes, the income of the gambling house has increased nearly twice as much as last month in this half month. We've gone from one gambling house to three. The number of horse hangers in the gambling house has increased from the original seventy or eighty tables to two hundred.

Now the income of one day, the income of the commission alone, has reached two hundred taels. However, there are many problems.
