The following day, ten thousand elite soldiers assembled in formation at the drill ground outside Xichuan City.
Since they came to this world, they have been following Lin Mo in battle. Although they were created by the system, they are still set up as normal people, and their bodies are very tired.
After the war ended, Lin Mo arranged for him to cut down trees day and night, and later he worked as a porter, transporting grain.
Therefore, upon arriving in Shu, Lin Mo made sure they had a good night's rest.
Then, following Yao Guangxiao's advice, we issued a wave of rewards!
Since the system is designed so that soldiers have the mindset of ordinary people, giving them money will indeed excite them.
Sure enough, the soldiers stood there, full of energy.
Lin Mo hated indecisive leaders the most on Earth, so he didn't make the soldiers wait too long.
Soon, he led his generals to the high platform.
Lin Mo now enjoys extremely high prestige in Shu, a fact that is particularly evident in the eyes of his soldiers.
Upon seeing the renowned Shu King Lin Mo of the Great Xia Dynasty appear, they all perked up, straightened their backs, and stared intently at this legendary figure.
Lin Mo took a closer look and saw that his soldiers were in neat formation and had high morale, which made him feel emotional.
I never expected that I would have so many loyal subordinates in such a short time.
Clearing his throat, Lin Mo didn't waste any words, because according to Yao Guangxiao's arrangement, he was to personally distribute money to each soldier. If he went on and on, he wouldn't even have time for dinner.
He raised his hand, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "My lords, I have only come here today for one thing: to distribute money to you all!"
Our soldiers fought valiantly, risking their lives; it is time for them to reap the rewards!
"Thank you, King of Shu!"
"The King of Shu is mighty!" Lin Mo laughed and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He then continued, "You are all heroes of my Great Xia. As heroes, you should receive the rewards you deserve."
Today, each person will receive ten taels of silver!
Upon hearing this, the crowd questioned, "Ten taels per person? Is there really that much silver to distribute?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately added, "I lack everything, but I don't lack money!"
He said in a very Versailles-like manner, "Today, I have brought a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and I guarantee that everyone will get a share!"
The soldiers below the stage were extremely excited upon hearing this.
"Bring him up here!" Lin Mo ordered.
Several men then carried ten boxes to the front, unchained them, and opened the boxes to face the crowd. Instantly, gleaming silver coins appeared before their eyes.
Each box was like a small silver mountain, almost blinding everyone with its brilliance.
"Your Highness didn't lie to us, everyone really does have one!"
"Yes, the King of Shu is mighty!"
Lin Mo waved his hand, and Qiao Shan quickly walked to the platform, holding a thick stack of books, and carefully wrote down his notes.
Just then, a soldier in the army asked, "So, Your Highness, besides the silver, will you arrange a wife for me?"
"Are you so desperate for your wife that you need the prince to arrange this kind of thing for you?"
"That's right, find your own wife, there are plenty of beautiful women in Sichuan!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, "I can grant your wishes!"
Everyone was astonished by these words.
"What?! They're really sending out wives?"
Lin Mo spread his hands, "When have I ever lied?"
What, you think my previous ideas were nonsense?
One point equals one population unit. Now, I can get two points just by sleeping in Xichuan City.
Even after all this, you still won't let me exchange for some girls to enjoy?
Anyway, in the system settings, appearance, body shape, and age are all customizable.
I'll be Zhao Jinmai if I want, and I'll be Dilireba if I want!
"My God, is the Prince really going to send out wives!"
"Mother, your son is finally going to get married!"
"Long live the Prince!"
"Your Highness is mighty!"
Hearing the cheers and jubilation of the crowd, Lin Mo raised his hand to signal for quiet, then said, "I can help you with the wife issue, but... this kind of thing definitely can't be resolved in one go!"
That's obvious. If another blunder happens, and ten thousand girls look exactly alike, the soldiers might mistake one for another and accidentally sleep with someone else's wife!
Good grief, if our own people start fighting each other, it will be a losing proposition.
Moreover, the reward of giving away a wife should be based on a competitive system, with only those who perform well receiving it, and those who are beautiful.
Those with average performance should register first and wait in line.
Lin Mo did this not because he was stingy with his points, but because he had a thorough understanding of management principles.
There is a fable on Earth about a lion distributing food.
The lion had a leopard in charge of ten wolves.
The first time, the lion had the leopard divide the meat among the ten wolves, making eleven equal portions. The meat was distributed equally between the leopard and each wolf. The wolves were all dissatisfied, each wanting more meat, and they went against the leopard.
The second time, the lion divided the meat into eleven pieces of varying sizes. The lion took the largest piece and let the ten wolves compete freely for it. The wolves fiercely competed for the largest piece. This is called performance evaluation.
The third time, the lion divided the meat into eleven pieces, taking two large pieces for himself and leaving the remaining nine smaller pieces for the ten wolves to compete for. This is called the last-place elimination system.
The fourth time, the lion divided the meat into two pieces, but took one piece for himself, and then let the ten wolves discuss how to divide the meat.
The wolves fought over the position, and finally the strongest wolf defeated all the others, who then became its underlings, respectfully obeying its command. This is called competitive selection.
