The others looked at Lu Han with envy.
"You, you, you." Wang Han pointed to the three of them and said, "You three are quite clever. From now on, the task of running errands and delivering messages in the mansion will be handled by the three of you."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the three men pointed out by Wang Han immediately stepped forward a step or two and said respectfully. This kind of job was exactly what suited them best.
"What's your name?" Wang Han pointed out another person, who was about thirty years old.
"General, my name is Xin Zan." Upon hearing this, the man named by Wang Han immediately stepped forward, his voice upright.
"Xin Zan!" Wang Han thought for a moment and said, "I see you have some literary and strategic skills, and you also know martial arts. You were upright during the street brawls, and although you fought fiercely, you didn't go too far. From now on, you will be in charge of all the accounts inside and outside the manor. Is that alright? If any officials come to visit and I am not at the manor, you will be in charge of entertaining them. I believe you can handle things properly. If you can do all these things well, I will take you to the battlefield a few times. Don't neglect your martial arts and military strategy either. You can discuss them with Yang Zhi more often when you have nothing to do. If you have a wife and children, you should bring them to live with you. It will be more convenient for you to educate them."
"Thank you for your trust, General. I will certainly live up to your trust." Xin Zan replied immediately upon hearing this. Even Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little envious. These matters were extremely important, and Xin Zan's authority far exceeded that of the two stewards. Xin Zan was highly valued by Wang Han.
"The rest of you will remain in the manor. Firstly, to ensure the safety of the manor, and secondly, to maintain order within the manor, and to await the orders of the head steward and Yang Zhi. The hunting dogs in the manor are also yours." After arranging for Xin Zan, Wang Han said to the remaining men. The remaining men were not particularly special; they were all burly men who knew martial arts, and also those who had been relatively rational in street fights.
"In addition, I will write a prescription to strengthen your physique and harden your bones and give it to Yang Zhi and Xin Zan for safekeeping. They will be in charge of it. You must drink a bowl of it every day and train for more than an hour," Wang Han said.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the remaining guards quickly responded.
"Steward, from now on, the monthly allowance for the household staff will be doubled, and the guards' will be tripled. In addition, the meat and vegetables at every meal must be enough to feed everyone in the household, but we must also pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetables. Every day, whether it is meat, vegetables or rice, there must be leftovers. The leftovers should be enough to give to at least five beggars at the gate. Do you know what to do now?" Wang Han said to the steward.
"Yes, General." Upon hearing this, the head steward quickly responded.
"Second Steward, in a moment, take the guards to the storeroom in the back courtyard to select some armor and weapons," Wang Han instructed. Among the armors sent by the ministers were several sets of uniquely styled fine armor, while the rest were all the same style of Song Dynasty infantry armor, heavy infantry armor weighing about thirty kilograms. The standard weapons included long staffs, daggers, and longswords.
Needless to say, the reason for the unification was definitely a pre-arranged plan by several generals to send it to Wang Han to bolster his prestige. After all, it was the residence of the Divine Might General. Otherwise, if it were the residence of any other minister, they would definitely be punished, and they wouldn't dare to send it. In the Song Dynasty, privately owning armor was illegal, and even other generals wouldn't dare to have too much in their residences. It was only because the emperor permitted it that it was sent to bolster Wang Han's prestige.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the second steward immediately responded.
"Let the rest of you in," Wang Han said. The rest of you were the madam and the girls from the brothel.
"General." The madam bowed to Wang Hanfu as soon as she led the girls in.
"Originally, I intended to burn your redemption contracts and let you leave freely," Wang Han said, looking at the girls who had entered. "But upon further reflection, that's not appropriate. Many of you lack survival skills. Giving you freedom would only leave you to fend for yourselves, which would actually harm many of you. Therefore, you will continue to stay in my residence, under the management of Li Shishi. You will work with the maids and learn some martial arts from the guards. When important guests arrive, you can entertain them with songs and dances. Once you have mastered your martial arts, you will serve as Li Shishi's personal guards during wartime. You can also use your skills to boost the morale of the soldiers. If anyone dares to make excessive demands on you on the battlefield, you can kill them yourselves. If you can't, come and tell me."
"Thank you, General." Upon hearing this, the girls didn't know whether to be happy or sad. But at least, they wouldn't have to stay there anymore.
"The madam." Finally, Wang Han's gaze fell upon the madam. This pimp absolutely could not be allowed to stay. Otherwise, his mansion would never have peace and quiet.
"General, I am here." Upon hearing this, the madam quickly stepped forward and said.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Han waved his hand and released a ball of green light into the madam's body. Instantly, the madam regained her youthful beauty. He said, "Now that you have regained your beauty, you can leave on your own tomorrow! I'm sure that as long as you don't say anything, no one will be able to find you. With your experience and way of handling things, you'll be able to thrive anywhere else."
"Thank you, General." Upon hearing this, the madam quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Alright, everyone disperse," Wang Han said, his figure flashing as he disappeared into the Divine Might Space. He'd been in this world for a while now; he should hurry back and comfort Yan Lingji and Ye Xinghong.
(Shamelessly begging for votes, rewards, and rankings. Also, should we let Yan Lingji and the others appear for a moment?)
