Chapter Ninety-Seven: No One Can Be Trusted

The big principles are set, and the rest is all trivial. These murderers, who were destined to be together for a long time to "cooperate in committing crimes" in the future, quickly became acquainted with each other, patted their chests and cursed, and tried their best to prove their honesty and reliability to others.

Lin Feng pulled Yi Wuxian, Jia Yuhang, and Cao Shang aside, roughly delineated the direction, object and method of robbery for them, and put forward a separate condition for them: the first thing that Shouzhou urgently needs is grain, the second is coal, iron, lead, copper and other minerals, and the third is gold, silver, money and silk and other things, no matter what the items they robbed, Lin Feng asked them to guarantee that at least one-fifth of the goods transported back to Shouzhou are grain, one-fifth is minerals, and all grain and minerals will be deducted according to the market price!

The three of them also knew that Lin Feng was preparing for a big battle with the north, and they all agreed solemnly.

Lin Feng repeatedly emphasized an iron principle: as long as Datang and other countries are in a state of war, those countries will naturally no longer belong to temporary protected areas, and they can rest assured and boldly grab them! Even the division of property can be increased by half percent, as long as the enemy's rear is as chaotic as possible!

The three of them looked at each other and agreed with a wicked smile.

Lin Feng hugged the three of them after the most, and repeatedly told them to pay attention to restraining their subordinates to keep secrets, and pay attention to safety first when they went out. ”

The three nodded solemnly.

Finally, Lin Feng gathered everyone together, and after the last time, he told them to pay attention to the secret, and agreed to secretly send them off in twenty days, before letting the three leaders take their subordinates away.

Lin Feng followed the trend and frightened a few people to eat a late lunch casually, and walked back to the city at will. As soon as he returned to the Assassin's Mansion, a dozen or so old men who had been waiting there hurriedly surrounded him, and the old man in the lead had white hair and a big cane in his hand, and saluted Lin Feng with a slight trembling.

Lin Feng hurriedly returned the salute and asked the old man what he had ordered.

The old man was taken aback by Lin Feng's word "order", and said with a more restrained expression: "Lord Lin, the old man's surname is Zhou, here, many streets in our Shouzhou City are obliged to be cleaned every day, and our streets there are relatively remote, and no one has been cleaning them. The old man wants to be cheeky and ask Lord Lin for a bargain, and send someone to clean our streets, and we old neighbors are grateful! ”

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled: "Only people who make mistakes will be sent to clean the streets, does my boss hope that someone in our Shouzhou City will make mistakes every day and break the law?" ”

Zhou Laohan was startled, quickly shook his head, and as soon as the person retreated, he was about to leave.

Lin Feng grabbed the old man and asked, "Then do you still have to sweep your streets?" ”

"Sweep, but ......" Zhou Laohan was confused and replied hesitantly.

"Then why do you want to find the Assassin Mansion to solve this matter? If I hadn't been the assassin, would you still be looking for it? If one day you can't find the person who made the mistake, what will happen to the street? If I leave, will you find the next assassin? Lin Feng asked repeatedly.

Zhou Laohan and a group of neighbors were completely stunned, looked at each other, embarrassed, and only one word "this" remained in their mouths.

Seeing that Lin Feng was no longer talking, Old Man Zhou plucked up his courage and raised his voice and said, "That's because, because we believe in Lord Lin, the people of Quanshou Prefecture believe in Lord Lin!" ”

Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile and said out loud a famous quote from the 18th-century Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Hume: "No one can be trusted until he proves to be trustworthy!" Not only my temporary assassin history, but even this eternal assassin mansion is the same, I am not worthy of trust! ”

Old Man Zhou and the neighbors were now stunned and confused, and looked at Lin Feng completely at a loss.

Lin Feng pointed to the door of the Assassin's Mansion and said loudly: "Facts have long proved that no matter who is in charge of this Assassin's Mansion, it is inherently untrustworthy!" Even if I'm willing to take care of it, how much time can I spare to pay attention to whether a certain street in the city is clean or not, and whether it is clean or not? Even if I send someone, what will happen to that person's punishment when the period of punishment expires? Are you going to live in a pile of garbage in the future? ”

Zhou Laohan and the neighbors behind him turned red, and they all lowered their heads, regretting that they had come to run this trip today. The onlookers from afar next to him were also a little stupid, Lord Lin is good, but he really can't worry about these trivial things every day!

"So, you're not going to solve this problem?" Lin Feng suddenly raised his voice and said loudly to the people who were confused all around, "Since I am not reliable, and the Assassin Mansion is also unreliable, why don't you rely on yourself?" ”

On your own? Old Man Zhou was even more confused, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Lin Feng stupidly and stunned.

"What is the state? What is government? In a sense, isn't it just that everyone organized a group of people to help with daily management and cope with the war by paying taxes? From this point of view, the Assassin Mansion has an obligation to help everyone solve the problem of street hygiene. However, Shouzhou City has been exempted from all rents this year, and there is no money, what should I do? Lin Feng didn't care how shocking his statement was, and said loudly.

A middle-aged man behind Zhou Laohan said casually: "Then can our neighbors pay for it ourselves?" ”

Lin Feng smiled, of course, he was willing to take the initiative to raise funds, and immediately continued: "Then are you willing to hand over the money to the Thorn History Mansion, let the Thorn History Mansion manage it in a unified manner, and then the Thorn History Mansion will come forward to recruit people, or are you willing to directly recruit cleaning personnel yourself?" ”

"Can we still hire ourselves?" Old Man Zhou was surprised and blurted out.

Lin Feng looked at Old Man Zhou with wide eyes, and asked loudly, "Why can't you do it?" Why do you have to hand over your money to the Assassin's Mansion and manage it with a few more people? What if they embezzle yours? What if they don't do it? You can pay for the cleaning staff yourself, and you supervise their work on a daily basis. If they don't do a good job, you can just fire them and hire the right people again! ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the people around him widened their eyes one by one, and looked at this young Thorn Master in disbelief.

Lin Feng suddenly felt both ridiculous and pathetic.

In Lin Feng's view, most of the daily management trivial things let the people manage by themselves, the world can't be chaotic, and it's not a big deal! Since ancient times, the Chinese people have habitually ceded all kinds of large and small management powers, and as a result, those who should have been stewards have been transformed into high-ranking "parent officials" one by one, willing to be oppressed and exploited by others.

Lin Feng didn't say any more, and ordered a brother to go to the mansion to bring two official carriages over, lead these old people to the car, and rush to Mingxin Street where they were located. A group of people watching the excitement encouraged each other and quickly followed.
