"That's just as well!" Zhang Qiao said with a smile, "Today's subordinates will go back first, and there will be a banquet today." ”

"It can only be said that he is worthy of being the leader of the Qiao gang, and he can eat anywhere." Lin Jiu sighed.

Zhang Qiao Zhengse said: "This is not an advantage, at least for the subordinates, I really look forward to the boss you can build the equal world you say." ”

Lin Jiu couldn't help but fall into silence, and the accidental words made Zhang Qiao take it to heart, but now that she was confined to this acre and three points of land, Zhang Qiao's words seemed to remind her to get out of this situation.

Although Lin Jiu didn't want to admit it, since she met Chu Linghui, she no longer put her mission or goal first. Once the self-proclaimed weapon has feelings, he can't be as invincible as before.

"That's an achievement that can only be achieved in a hundred years and a thousand years, not to mention the imperial power, and now even the gentry who leave the county are so difficult." Lin Jiu sighed.

"That's just boss, you don't want to use extraordinary means, the training method of the Flying Tiger Battalion is obviously biased towards fighting deep behind the enemy's rear, boss, although you are not young, you seem to be familiar with this combat method."

Zhang Qiao said as he stretched out his hand and gestured to a gun and pointed in the direction where Zheng Kui was, "If you have the heart, boss, you can take Zheng Kui's life at any time, but you seem to be a little stuck in the rules set by Lord Chu." ”

Lin Jiu said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because I have seen the chaotic places that until the importance of making rules, I would rather take a slow step than let the county become a place where strength is supreme because of quick success." ”

"But if the force is in the hands of people with a conscience, the existing situation will be shattered, and then the rules of order will be re-established.

Zhang Qiao waved his hand at Lin Jiu as he spoke, "Boss, as long as you want, your subordinates and the brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion will become your blade, if you want to hide the blade in the scabbard, we will also follow you." ”

After saying this, Zhang Qiao's figure disappeared into the night.

"The Qiao gang leader really has the spirit of a hero, but now is not the time for the knife to come out of the sheath." Lin Jiu muttered to himself.

The next day, in the palace, looking at Lin Jiu who reappeared, Chu Linghui was happy, he thought that this time Lin Jiu would make trouble for a while, but he didn't expect that it was not a few days, Lin Jiu went and returned.

Chu Linghui deliberately asked with a straight face: "What's the matter, Boss Lin has something to find this official today?" ”

Lin Jiu slammed a large bag of silver on Chu Lingxuan's table.

"You're trying to bribe the official?" Chu Linghui weighed the weight of the silver, "Just these dozens of taels of silver, it seems to be too little." ”

"I don't want to bribe the honest Lord Chu, I just want to hire some helpers." Lin Jiu opened his mouth and said.

Chu Linghui knew that Lin Jiu's side lacked manpower, but now that the city patrol guards and errands had been replenished, some of them had to maintain law and order in the city, and the other part needed training, and the bandits around the county still often threatened the safety of the trade routes.

"What I want is people controlled by the government, you lock up those people, if you really follow the law, those who commit serious crimes and kill their heads must first report to the Criminal Department for approval, and there are some people who have only committed minor crimes, and you will only empty food if you lock them up."

"You're saying you want them to work instead of torture?" Chu Linghui instantly understood what Lin Jiu meant, "This is a good way, I will ask Mr. Lu to draw up a charter." ”

Lin Jiu looked at Chu Linghui with some surprise, "This should have no precedent in the Great Zhou Law, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"Do you think I'm a superficial person who does extraordinary things at extraordinary times?" Chu Linghui put down the scroll in his hand and raised his head to look at Lin Jiu, "People who can accept your thoughts should be very human. ”

"At the end of the day, you can't accept all my ideas." Lin Jiu pouted.

Chu Linghui said, "But I can accept your existence. ”

Lin Jiu was stunned, this was like walking in the forest and suddenly being shot with a black gun, which would inevitably make people fall into chaos.

And the real master is to shorten the chaotic time, and for elites like Lin Jiu who walk in the rain of bullets all year round, the chaotic time should be measured in milliseconds.

In the face of Chu Linghui's "black gun", Lin Jiu felt that he should be at ease, but the reality was that Lin Jiu stood in front of Chu Linghui for a long time.

Chu Linghui touched his nose, he carefully recalled what he said just now, wanting to know if he had said the wrong thing to make Lin Jiu angry.

At this moment, Lin Jiu turned around and said, "Let's settle the matter of substituting labor for punishment first, you should know that I am in a hurry to employ people now, and my finances are not rich." ”

After saying that, Lin Jiu went out, and when she stepped out of the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Linghui would always unconsciously say something that made her heart beat.

In this regard, Lin Jiu blamed the original owner of this body on a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

As a sharp weapon, it shouldn't produce such a big mood swing, after all, it is specially trained.

As cold as steel, there is no fear of the cold world.

"Sister, your face is so red!" At this moment, an immature voice pulled Lin Jiu out of his complicated thoughts.

Lin Jiu looked down and saw that Qingqing, who regarded her as an enemy, was looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Are you sick?" ”

"It turned out to be Qingqing, why don't you look at me with that murderous look today?" Lin Jiu asked with some curiosity.

Qingqing said: "I learned from Mr. Lu that my brother can have a concubine in addition to marrying a wife, and he likes you so much that he wants to give you the position of the main wife." ”

Lin Jiu supported his forehead, how did Lu Xiucai teach children these things, it was too improper.

In fact, what Lin Jiu doesn't understand is that in this era of this world, getting married in your teens has become the norm, and you are a strange thing if you haven't married at an age like her.

At this age, Qingqing should understand these so-called common sense.

Regarding Qingqing's words, Lin Jiu didn't know what expression to use to deal with it, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "That's a good word, you work hard." ”

"Then you gave me permission to enter as a concubine?" Qingqing's little face turned red with excitement, "I'll tell Brother Chu right away." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Jiu to respond, he trotted into Chu Lingjue's study.

"I seem to have said something terrible, so let's leave first!" After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he ran towards the outside of the mansion at a speed that was almost escaping, and Chu Linghui's angry shout came from behind him.

Although the official government of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally had the problem of redundancy and procrastination, in this place of Lixian, the official government was new and had not had time to develop to that state, and the handling of things was extremely fast.

The day before, Lin Jiu proposed a plan to replace punishment with work, and the next day Chu Linghui made a decision, and the prisoners in the county government prison were sent to Lin Jiu's mine one by one.

With the addition of this group of "workers", Lin Jiu has temporarily solved the problem of personnel shortage.

The government's actions also made those gangsters in the rivers and lakes weigh the gains and losses before committing crimes.

Now, if they commit a crime, they are not eating free prison meals in prison, but working under the whip of the overseer, which is a greater torture than the pain of prison for those who want to drink wine and eat meat in large bowls.

Although he was a prisoner, Lin Jiu did not call them like slaves, at the beginning, he was in charge of three meals and clothing, and later he would pay the prisoners a certain amount of wages.

Of course, these prisoners will also learn about the wages that the regular workers "inadvertently" revealed, and the benefits they still receive.

With the implementation of the punishment of work in lieu of work, the chaos in the county gradually subsided, and they all begged for a bite to eat, compared to the gangs in danger at all times, as well as the slaves under the wealthy family, there is one more option, that is, the workers under Lin Jiu.

Zheng Family Mansion, Zheng Kui was also a little surprised after hearing about the government's approach.

Getting the prisoners to work overturned all of the Black Shah's previous plans, and he even had some suspicions now that Chu Linghui did this because he received the news that the Black Sha would rob the prison.

In fact, it was Lin Jiu who got the news, but more often than not, he just wanted to solve the trouble of overcrowding in the government cell, and there was also the problem of his own shortage of manpower.
