In the general's mansion, Lu Fan rarely changed into a third-grade military attache uniform this time.

In the lobby, a group of trusted generals are sitting on both sides.

"My lord, the matter of suppressing bandits, our Jinyi Wei can easily settle it, there is no need to spend this unjust money to mobilize the armies of the East Road, right?" Yin Cheng asked.

The commander made the lord have money in his hands, and everyone present knew this, and the lord was never stingy, and they have also shared a lot of wealth over the years.

But you can't spend money indiscriminately, you can easily settle things by yourself, why send money to those officials and soldiers who have long been rotten?

Lu Fan smiled, looked at everyone, and asked, "What about you, do you think so too?"

Shen Lian and the others didn't speak, but most of them had expressions of "shouldn't spend money in vain".

However, Lu Jianxing, who was recently promoted by Lu Fan to deputy Qianhu, this reckless man who seems to only know how to fight and fight, and does not know how to change, actually opened his mouth to express his opinions.

"I think, my lord's money, it's worth it!"

"Oh, tell me, why is it worth it?"

Lu Jianxing's face was serious, and he said loudly: "My lord, I am a pure martial artist, and I understand the thoughts of those military attachés very well. If you move my foundation, I will lead people to ask for your life, and if I were a local military attaché, I would definitely do so!"

"Go on!" Lu Fan encouraged with a smile.

"So I'm thinking, if the adults don't do anything next, it is estimated that in a few days, the entire Yanghe East Road will break out in rebellion, and as for the name, it will naturally be a trouble!"

"What's so terrible about the rebellion, there are more than 7,000 officers and soldiers on the East Road, but they are all rabble, and they are not enough for us to kill!" Yin Cheng retorted: "Just take this opportunity to remove the garbage, wouldn't it be more convenient for adults to govern the East Road in the future?"

Lu Jianxing shook his head, "The rebellion is not terrible, but the local people are afraid, now is the spring agricultural time, if the soldiers are chaotic together, the agricultural time will be delayed, and there will be no harvest, this year's cold winter, it is estimated that a large number of people will not survive!"

"That's it!" Shen Lian and the others nodded thoughtfully, "So my lord, this is spending money to delay the time of the rebellion, using silver to stimulate the local officials and soldiers to suppress the bandits, delay it for a month or two, and then do it to the local military attaché after the people are busy with spring ploughing?"

Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, his subordinates were originally a group of rough people, and after following him for a long time, they gradually became more brainy.

If you hone and hone it again, you can put it in the cities and forts on the East Road to serve as garrisons and ethics positions.

"No matter when, grain and grass are the foundation of life, the most important thing, there is food in your hands, and you can not panic in your heart!"

Lu Fan looked around and said slowly: "So the official spent some money to give the local people a stable spring plowing environment, this money is still worth it!"

"Besides, we don't really need to pay for this money!" Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth rose, "The mountain bandits and thieves have been entrenched in the East Road for many years, and they have also accumulated a lot of money, and we have exterminated them and rewarded them with money, so we don't need to spend anything." ”

Yin Cheng clapped his hands and sighed: "Take other people's money and do your own thing, adults want this business!"

"There is no need to say flattery!" Lu Fan waved his hand and looked at Lu Jianxing, "This time to suppress the bandits, you are the main, Jin Yichuan is the auxiliary, lead two thousand men and horses, three days later, set off with the officials and troops of the East Road!"

Lu Jianxing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly clenched his fists to receive his life.

But then, he showed a hint of worry, "My lord, what if those military attaches are pressed and do not let the officers and soldiers under their command go out to suppress the bandits?"

"Don't worry!" Lu Fan shook his head, "If they really do this, it will be better, without us doing anything, their soldiers can flay them alive!"

........

Military attachés everywhere are not stupid, and they don't dare to go against the officers and soldiers under their command when it comes to silver.

Three days later, in the early morning, outside Yanghe City, the garrisons and forts on the East Road came with the army as promised.

In this crackdown on bandits, there were more than 7,000 officers and soldiers on the East Road, but there were actually 5,000 people, and almost all of them came out of the nest, and all of them gathered together.

After all, as long as you send people to suppress bandits, you can get a reward of three taels of silver, and no one will be left behind.

As for why there are 2,000 fewer people, they all understand that the matter of eating empty salaries is a common practice in all dynasties and generations, and it is difficult to put an end to it!

The officers and soldiers who are pressed by the black pressure, the crooked platoons of the military formations, the armor on each body is extremely worn, and there are loopholes and patches in many places, and there is no morale at all.

Lu Fan rode a horse and stood at the gate of the city, and behind him, a large box was lined up.

"Unboxing!"

Lu Fan's eyes swept over the official army, and then with a wave of his hand, behind him, a group of brocade-clothed guards opened the big boxes one by one.

The next moment, boxes of white flowers and silver fell into everyone's field of vision.

Money and wealth are moving, and so much silver appears in front of them, which immediately causes a commotion in the official army.

"This official said that all the officers and soldiers who participated in the suppression of bandits can be rewarded with three taels of silver, and this official will do what he says! Next, there will be a secretary of the General's Office to record everyone's name and place of origin, and when the bandits return, they can come to the city gate to receive the reward by virtue of their respective names!"

Originally, some officials and soldiers were still skeptical about receiving silver, but at this moment, when they saw those white silver, everyone was immediately relieved.

In front of the public, the generals and adults all took out the money, so it's impossible not to break their promises, right?

Next, Wang Dingan led more than a dozen civilian personnel from the General's Mansion to begin to record the names and origins of each sergeant, and worked hard for more than an hour before finishing the work.

After everything was prepared, Lu Fan, who had already established his authority in the official army through the white flowers, suddenly became sharp.

"This official is a pure martial artist, and the routine of officialdom will not work for me!"

"This official is here, only military merits!"

"If you have military merits, you will have silver to receive, and land to share, if military merits are enough, not to mention the general manager and the general, even if it is an ethics officer or even a city garrison, this official will push you up!"

"I'm talking here, if anyone dares to privately swallow the military exploits of his subordinates and suppress the promotion of his subordinates, no matter what kind of ability you have and how much backing you have, you will definitely let him go through the Jinyi Guard Prison and experience what life is better than death!"

Lu Fan's words were very straightforward, and there were no obscure sentences at all.

But the more straightforward and vulgar it is, the more it meets the appetite of these officers and soldiers, and the moment his words fell, thousands of officers and soldiers, many of whom were already excited.

When a soldier eats sound, who doesn't have a dream of being promoted to become rich and sealing his wife and son?

In the past, the road to promotion was monopolized by the upper-level military attachés, and these big-headed soldiers could only live honestly and couldn't see a way out.

But now it's different, Lord Lu is here, and a new road has appeared in front of everyone!

All rewards and punishments are based on military merits, which is really in line with the minds of officers and soldiers!

Turning his head to look at the big-headed soldiers behind him, Li An and the other guards glanced at each other, and their faces were difficult to see.

The land reclamation order dug up the foundation of the wealth of these local military attachés.

This order to suppress bandits is digging up the foundation of the army of these military attachés!

The hearts of the people are scattered, and this team is about to be unable to lead!
