Chapter 171: The First Test (4)
Li Ling nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, there are three chapters of the law." ”
"What are the three chapters of the covenant?" Du Agile asked in surprise. I have been in the General's Mansion for many years, and I have fought many battles, and this is the first time I have heard of the so-called three chapters of the law!
Most of the people present have never heard of the three chapters of the covenant, so they all inevitably have the same question as Du Agile, and when they saw Du Agile asking, they all shifted their eyes to Li Ling's face.
Li Ling didn't say anything, but he slapped it early, everyone didn't know what he was doing, and they were even more shocked, the sound of the slap just fell, only to see several little guys rushing in, all holding a gold lacquer tray in their hands, the tray was covered with a red cloth, bulging, and couldn't see what it was.
Everyone looked at Li Ling suspiciously and blankly, not knowing which play he was singing.
"Lord Du, please take a look at the contents on this tray." Li Ling looked at everyone with a smile, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Du Agile.
Hearing this, Du Agile stepped forward, uncovered the red cloth on the tray according to the words, and when he looked at the things on the tray, he couldn't help but take a step back!
"Ahh
When everyone's eyes fell on the tray, they were even more surprised! His mouth couldn't help but open wide, and he didn't know who it was, but he exclaimed in a low voice.
On that tray, there was a pile of white silver!
Everyone was puzzled by what this meant, so Li Ling slowly spoke, but the tone was very unique, as if he was talking about whether the weather was good or bad today, and he didn't pay much attention to it at all: "What about these silvers, it is our General Shen Qiongyao's heart for you." ”
As soon as I heard this, everyone here already had straight eyes! That silver was actually rewarded to everyone, this General Shen really deserves to be a relative of the emperor, he hasn't made a move for so many days, he didn't expect this move, it's such a big deal! What a spirit!
Seeing this, the lieutenant Chi Dongfang hurriedly walked in front of Li Ling, and arched his hand and said: "Li Fucheng, how can the subordinates receive such a generous gift from the general for their unbuilt merits?" ”
Li Ling smiled brightly and said, "It's okay. There has been a time when you have made great achievements, and besides, this is also the content of the third chapter of the covenant. ”
Everyone was stunned, when they saw the silver, they couldn't help but start to shake their hearts, and they almost forgot the three chapters of the covenant just mentioned, and when they heard Li Ling mention it again, they couldn't help but feel ashamed, as if a man who flaunted his deep love for husband and wife was caught when he was visiting the Qinglou!
Li Ling saw that everyone didn't say anything, so he changed his serious face, and his usual indifference and laziness and leisure were long gone, and he said impassionedly: "Just mentioned the three chapters of the law, the first thing is to restrain his subordinates, and he must not disturb the people!" We are fighting to protect them from being harassed by bandits and thieves, and if we have bad words and deeds that disturb the people in the process of fighting, wouldn't it be in vain? Everyone is a person who joins the army, and this account naturally does not need me to settle it for everyone. ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and Yu Chi Dongfang was the first to speak up and said: "Yes, Li Fucheng's words are reasonable, let's fight the battlefield with our heads, isn't it just to protect the territory and the people?" If we all want to disturb the people, then we are indeed no different from those bandits. After a pause, he turned around again and said solemnly to Li Ling: "Li Fucheng, the subordinate must restrain his subordinates well, and there will definitely be no disturbance to the people." ”
Seeing that Wei Chi Dongfang had spoken, the rest of the people couldn't help but talk about it, as if this kind of thing had never been properly said before, and even more so as if this matter had never been mentioned.
"My subordinates must not behave like this." One person also said solemnly.
Li Ling saw that everyone was almost talking, so he cleared his throat, shook his hands, and motioned for everyone to calm down first! After staying for a while, everyone's voices slowly lowered, and then they all stopped talking, and Li Lingcai said: "Everyone, this silver is for everyone, and each person will receive a tray." ”
As soon as Li Ling's words fell, everyone's eyes suddenly nailed to his face, as if they wanted to explore whether what he said was true or false.
Li Ling saw that everyone was a little confused, so he said: "This encirclement and suppression of bandits is very hard, these are all to reward everyone after the victory, but I have always been anxious to do things, so I took it out first, naturally, after returning from victory, General Shen will have other rewards." ”
Since Shen Qiongyao and Li Ling came, the two of them have been buried in the scroll, only caring about how to encircle and suppress those bandits, and they have forgotten to do the most important thing: to win people's hearts. Naturally, winning people's hearts is never the most important thing, the most important thing is naturally to encircle and suppress bandits, but this encirclement and suppression of bandits is not a matter of one sentence, this has to be manpower! Naturally, it is the soldiers below, but if the soldiers do not work with the two of them and do things, there will be many constraints, and if they work together, it will naturally be much easier.
Imagine, at that time, it was not a husband and wife, they only relied on the father, husband and son to earn money outside, but behind him was a big family! If you want to eat, dress and live, you will naturally be inseparable from silver, and this Dajing Dynasty advocates diligence and thrift, so the money is naturally not very high, but no matter how low the money is, life still has to continue, and the silver needed for life will not decrease.
After all, the human heart cannot stand the test.
Li Ling's experience told him that it was best not to test people. Human nature is never meant to be tested.
When everyone heard Li Ling say this, they couldn't help but be very moved, but after all, they were all people who had been in the officialdom, and even if it was turbulent in their hearts, their faces were calm.
"Li Fucheng, the lower official doesn't care what others think, the lower official doesn't want this silver, marching to fight and protecting the common people is what the lower official should do, and now he has not broken the thief, so naturally there is no reason to ask for it." To Li Ling's surprise, Wei Chi Dongfang was actually the first person to stand up and say this refusal! (To be continued.) )
