Lin Jinyue called him the living devil.
After all, it is a thousand lives. Normally in Dongfu City and Shawan County, these soldiers are never seen bullying men and women.
It’s just that the people they are loyal to are different.
Moreover, conscription in ancient times was not voluntary. There was no psychological burden in killing Deputy General Gao, as this man was full of bad intentions.
Most ordinary soldiers just follow orders, and now Xie Hong is indeed their superior. If they disobey military orders, their entire clan may be in danger.
Lin Jinyue could understand them.
But it would not be wrong to say that they were completely right.
Lin Jinyue felt that it was not necessary to let them die. Instead, they could be allowed to stay and build some infrastructure and grow some potatoes.
The more land is reclaimed, the more potatoes and sweet potatoes can be produced in the future.
By then, people with the surname Zhou will no longer go hungry.
Lin Jinyue: "Don't kill them. They are still useful. Besides, they are coming. General Gu, your house can be built as soon as possible, so you don't have to squeeze into a large bunk bed with others."
Gu Yanfeng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we just need a tent to sleep in. These people must be killed, and no trouble can be left behind."
Gu Yanfeng spoke earnestly, staring at Lin Jinyue, "First of all, there is the problem of food. The management of a thousand people is not easy to deal with. These good-for-nothings are useless in the army. If we just want to build houses, we can use good civilians."
Lin Jinyue insisted: "Stay, I have a way to manage it."
These soldiers don't look like soldiers at all.
The conversation between Gu Yanfeng and Lin Jinyue made the thousand people feel nervous, and those who were not very useful were so scared that they peed their pants.
Gu Yanfeng looked at him with particular disgust.
Lin Jinyue had a complicated expression and said to them: "You won't die for now, but if you dare to mess around..."
So Lin Jinyue started to divide people into groups of five, and then randomly divided them into 20 teams, with ten groups in a team. If anyone dared to escape, the whole team would be killed once discovered.
If anyone dares to hurt others or do anything out of line.
I'm sorry.
The whole team died together.
Lin Jinyue wanted to punish the whole group. Their village was short of manpower and it was impossible to spare so many people to keep an eye on these people.
If there are one or two people causing trouble, it will be really troublesome.
It’s better to punish everyone collectively.
Seeing these people's pale expressions, Lin Jinyue began to make promises again: "In fact, we don't have a big conflict. As long as you are obedient, I will let you go in a few years."
Then she added, "Actually, I'm not going to make things difficult for you. It's for your own good to have you help for a few years. After all, as long as no one is bothering you, you're prisoners. It's your superiors' problem. If someone is bothering you, then it's hard to say."
Gu Yanfeng looked at his lover Lin Jinyue.
This little girl is really powerful. After she said this, she doesn't have to waste any more effort. If anyone dares to run, they can just fight each other.
Moreover, if those people with not so smart brains heard this, they might get sold out and have to thank Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue also made a promise: "As long as you work hard, we will provide you with enough food. If you are willing to stay in Yunhe Village, we will give you a house and some land. If you want to move back home, we can also give you some money and dry food."
At this time, many people began to show their loyalty.
He started directly by identifying who were Deputy General Gao's confidants, and also told about Deputy General Gao's plan to escape on the ship.
Deputy General Gao was almost pissed off listening to these fence-sitters.
Lin Jinyue locked him up in the woodshed and found someone to watch over him, telling him to starve for a few days.
The others were also wearing handcuffs and leg irons, which had markings on them indicating which team and group they were in. They were simply painted with paint bought from the mall, and the color would not fade at all.
Those who are injured can recuperate first and then go back to work after they have recovered.
Of course, if you don’t work, your food will definitely not be as good as those who work.
After arranging everything, Lin Jinyue looked at Liu Dazhuang and the others again. They were all high-ranking officials. They brought so many strong laborers, a ship and a lot of supplies on the ship.
If you do good things, you should be rewarded.
Lin Jinyue directly rewarded them in the open space, "If it weren't for you this time, the enemy would have attacked in the middle of the night, and I'm afraid our village would not have had a good time. Apart from this, you also brought a lot of good things."
"If we buy such a big ship, we will need 20,000 taels of silver. The food, bows and arrows, and supplies on the ship are also worth a lot of money. As long as they are stolen, each person will get 3 taels of silver, which will be paid from the village account. In addition, Uncle Dazhuang and Uncle Erzhuang will each get two pounds of pork and an old hen."
The first person to spot an approaching boat will also receive an extra reward.
Lin Jinyue also remembered the five names that Liu Dazhuang mentioned. They were all very good archers. Four of them were from Linjia Village, and one was a farmer who joined the army as an exception.
Lin Jinyue didn't care whether they were from the village or not, and said directly: "The village doesn't have enough soldiers now, so we have to recruit more people. The five of you will be team leaders, each in charge of 20 people."
The four people from Linjia Village were more excited.
And Zhou Yong, the original farmer, never thought that Lin Jinyue would actually promote him to be the team leader!
The monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is 1,000 yuan, plus subsidies and benefits, which comes to 1,500 yuan.
The team leader doubled his money!
The monthly salary is two taels of silver, plus various subsidies plus benefits such as eggs and pork, it adds up to three taels!
For example, the two team leaders Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang were paid more.
For a moment, everyone was a little excited, especially the outsiders who joined later. To them, this meant much more than a reward of a few taels of silver.
This means that even if they were outsiders who used to be farmers or servants of others, they could become team leaders or even captains in the future. Lin Jinyue really treated everyone with kindness.
Gu Yanfeng was also impressed by Lin Jinyue's demeanor.
He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Can I join your Yunhe Village army?"
This is not the end, General Gu and Gu Shao also looked at her at the same time, the meaning in their eyes was very clear, they also wanted to join the army of Yunhe Village.
Lin Jinyue was encouraging others when she almost choked on her own saliva.
How could they allow the famous General Gu to become a member of their village guard?
Lin Jinyue was planning to let the Gu family occupy Lingnan and guard Lingnan. If they really took it over, her family would be no different from a rebel.
If they don't rebel, wouldn't that be too unfair to them?
Lin Jinyue declined: "This is too much of a waste of talent. A guard team is really not enough, but you can wait. As long as you can contact the subordinates in the future, our village is willing to provide food and money to support you."
Gu Yanfeng wanted to say something else but was stopped by General Gu.
General Gu smiled with wrinkles all over his face: "Okay, okay, then there's Chief Lao Lin."
Lin Jinyue didn't think much about it and went to find Deputy General Gao.
He had to be forced to write a letter to stabilize Xie Hong.
However, she didn't expect that the unclear conversation between her and General Gu just now would directly lead to the old general blaming her!
