"A house, daily necessities, and half a tael of silver!" Those 'Cui's' private soldiers looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.In this day and age, private soldiers would not be treated so favorably. Usually, they would sleep together crowded together and live on the meager rations distributed by their masters.

"Are you serious about what you said?" a private soldier asked timidly.

"Wen never lied. Words spoken are like arrows shot!" Wen Han's eyes were clear, and he made a strong promise, giving people a strong sense of conviction.

Each of the 150 'Cui's' quickly weighed gains and losses in their hearts. After a while, a total of 120 people were willing to submit to Wenhan, and the remaining 30 people left sadly because they had concerns in Cui's mansion.Wen Han did not obstruct them, and let them untie them, and let the 30 people go back.

Wen Han asked Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to search how many rooms and belongings there were in the villa. After a while, Pei Yuanshao came back and reported: "In the villa, there are 670 six small rooms, twelve middle rooms, five large rooms, and one master room. Houses, covering an area of ​​seven acres. The rest of the Hyogo, kitchen, school field, horse farm, etc. occupy an area of ​​three acres, and another ten acres of farmland."

At this time, Li Qiang also came back from counting, and after Pei Yuanshao had finished speaking, he made a salute and continued: "In the village, there are three hundred iron spears, two hundred iron knives, three hundred bows, three thousand arrows, six hundred armors, and another supply of food." Twenty loads (one load is one hundred catties, enough to feed 100 people for several months), and thirty horses. No gold, silver or jewels were found, and they should have been transported away by the Cui family last night."

"Hmph, the Cui family is smart and knows to take away the valuables first. But these things are enough, enough for my current needs. From now on, the soldiers and horses in the Black Wind Village will be named 'Black Wind Soldiers', This matter is only known to me in private, so don't spread it. This army is led by Pei Yuanshao. And the 120 private soldiers of the Cui Mansion will be led by Li Qiang in the future, as my guard.

You and the other two, now take your men and horses to choose a room and settle down.From now on, when you hear the crowing of the rooster every day, you will start training them, three hours a day.In the afternoon, let them go to the fields to farm for three hours a day.Tell them, this farmland is theirs, this grain is their food, don't desert me, think it's embarrassing to do this.The next hour will be arranged by the two of you, but remember, don't make troubles!

Their day-to-day work and rest are first arranged like this.At the casino, Pei Yuanshao, you pick out 100 people to help at the casino every day, taking turns.After you settle down, I will start to implement my plan and hold a 'horse crane' competition, which will require a lot of manpower.In short, training, farming, and gambling, the two of you will arrange it for me, you know?

There was silence in the courtyard, Wen Han looked at them, and read a lot from their incredible expressions.In this day and age, it's really rare for a private soldier to be treated so favorably.I thought that Wen Han was just talking orally, but when the matter was confirmed, it was a different attitude.

Especially Pei Yuanshao, originally thought that Wen Han would hold the power tightly in his hands, but unexpectedly Wen Han delegated the power to him, which made Pei Yuanshao elated and excited.

When the Black Wind Soldiers and the guards came back to their senses, there was a burst of joyful shouts.Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang knelt down on one knee to receive the order. From today onwards, they both have a brand new identity.

"Oh, speaking of the gambling house, I thought of something. Then Ma Zong has to deal with it. Li Qiang, you should contact Ma Zong's people secretly to see if you can bring some people over. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. You just need to tell them , I only gave them three days to choose, and after three days I took people to sweep Ma Zong's casino!"

Wen Han suddenly remembered something, and immediately told Li Qiang.Li Qiang had just been promoted, and now he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to perform, so he took the order immediately, and he already had several targets in mind.

"Okay. Things have been arranged. Pei Yuanshao, Li Qiang'er and the others will now take their men down to choose a house. The people guarding Li Qiangru will let the Black Wind Soldiers choose first. Don't complain. The Black Wind Soldiers have meritorious deeds, so let them first They choose. It will be the same in the future, whoever makes the most of the credit will enjoy more things.

Pei Yuanshao, listen to me.Don't let me know, whoever you have a good relationship with, you can open the back door to whoever you are.Here, they are all from Wu Wenhan.Regardless of relationship, only merit.If you want to eat well and live well, you should train hard and make a lot of achievements in the future, and you will get it.do you know? "

Wen Han's thought of leading troops was more or less influenced by the thinking of later generations, and he would not use only relatives, but based on merit.In this way, the people under him will become more active.

Because, Wen Han gave them hope.As long as you work hard, you can get what you want.

In ancient times, the gentry held power, and those with power were cronies of the gentry.No matter how powerful you are, without a certain wealth background, you are doomed to live in poverty.

The black wind soldiers and the newly joined guard team, a total of 500 people, looked at Wen Han in unison.I can't help but think in my heart that they followed a different and good master.

With a new place to live, every private soldier looks happy.Under the arrangement of Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang, they began to move into their own rooms in an orderly manner.Because there are 670 six small rooms, it is not difficult for Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang to allocate them. Every private soldier accepted the allocation with a smile on his face.

As for some meritorious people, like Li Gouzizi, he made great contributions in the battle against Huang Le.Wenhan ordered him to live in a middle room.Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang were assigned to the big room.The largest master room, of course, belonged to Wen Han.

However, Wen Han didn't live in it for the time being. It was far away from the gambling houses in the county, and it was not convenient to operate the gambling houses.In the next few days, Wenhan intends to visit the gambling house to see what details need to be improved.Seeing that Wen Han didn't move in, Li Qiang also stubbornly refused to move in. He took it for granted, "I am the son's entourage. Wherever the son is, of course I, Li Qiang, will be there!"

Wen Han didn't force him, and there was indeed someone following him, so he let Li Qiang continue to live with him in the Zhou Mansion.

At the same time, in the hall of Cui Mansion in Xie County.

The patriarch of the Cui clan 'Cui Wang' was listening with a frosty face. He had just been beaten away by Wen Han's troops and returned to the housekeeper to report.

"Hahaha. Alright, yesterday Yang Honggang took most of the family property I donated to Huang Le, and today the young man took away the Zhuangzi, and forcibly took 120 of my private soldiers. Good, very good!"

Cui Wang laughed angrily, making the butler tremble with fright.

"Master, I can't afford to offend the magistrate of Yang County. But that young man is really hateful. The villain has already told the master that he is acquainted with the ten permanent attendant 'Gao Wang'. But the young man dismissed it and still led people to rob Zhuangzi. Why not master go to Beijing..."

"Shut your mouth! That young man has Yang Hong's warrant. Yang Hong is the official of the imperial court, and he represents the imperial court! It is unreasonable for me to go to Beijing to sue that young man, let alone for such a trivial matter, I will go to Mr. Gao. Wouldn't this tell me to tell Mr. Gao that we, the Cui family, are incompetent!"

"Yes, yes. The villain is ignorant, please forgive me." Cui's butler quickly fell to his knees, not daring to raise his head.I was afraid that Cui Wang would turn his anger on him and take his life.

"That young man's men are brave, and he has Yang Hong backing him. If I fight with him now, even if I win, I won't get much benefit. Let's let this matter go, but I will remember this matter. May that young man, Don't make any mistakes, or I will definitely let death have no place to bury me!"

As the patriarch of the gentry, Cui Wang knew how to choose, and after weighing it in his heart, he made up his mind.However, seeing the evil in his eyes, he hated Wen Han deeply.

At noon, the rooms of the Black Wind Soldiers and the guards were finally all allocated.Wen Han, Li Qiang, and Pei Yuanshao sat in the hall of the villa and chatted about things.

At this time, Zhou Long was riding a horse and rushed into the villa with an anxious expression.

"Brother, brother! Why don't you call yourself a brother for such a big matter. Could it be that you despise being a brother because you see that you are clumsy and can't kill the enemy." Zhou Long saw Wenhan and the others sitting in the hall, and immediately got angry when he got down. Then he said angrily.

Wen Han hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, knowing that Zhou Long was talking about today's seizure of the estate: "Brother Zhou, you just took office today. Don't bother you with such trivial matters."

"Oh, what's the trouble! Didn't you say that you and I don't have a separate family? Why are you so alien! Let me ask you, are you going to move into this manor now? You have to give up your brother and your sister-in-law!"

After Wen Han heard this, he couldn't help crying and laughing: "Where would it be? The food cooked by my sister-in-law is the best in the world, and I can't eat without my sister-in-law. Besides, even if I want to move into this manor, I will definitely let you and my sister-in-law, brother Zhou. Move in together. Otherwise, who cares about my little brother's stomach."

Zhou Long's unhappy face suddenly burst into a smile: "That's right, that's right. Although the mother-in-law of my brother's family has no merits, her cooking skills are excellent. My brother, brother, I will go home and let the mother-in-law prepare it. For tonight's meal, you will remember to come back to eat later. Then Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao will also come together, and I will continue to get drunk tonight."

Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao quickly said goodbye.Zhou Long said a few more words to Wen Han, then got on his horse and left.

This sudden surprise confused Li Qiang and Pei Yuanshao.Wen Han's heart was extremely warm, he knew that Zhou Long was not willing to live with him, the two had a deep relationship and had experienced life and death.In Zhou Long's words, his relationship with Wen Han is closer and better than that of his blood brothers!

At night, Zhou Mansion.

Under Wen Han's strong request, Lin rarely sat at the dinner table.Several people moved their hands (there were no chopsticks at that time), and they ate with gusto without restraint, just like a big family eating happily.

After a while, after eating and drinking.Wen Han asked, Lin, who is now managing the gambling house, about the situation of the gambling house.

"Since Uncle Wen invented the horse crane two months ago, the income of the gambling house has been increasing. Especially with the continuous promotion of the horse crane, the income of the gambling house in the past half month has increased by nearly as much as that of the previous month. Twice. We have also changed from one gambling house to three. The horse cranes in the gambling house have increased from the original seventy or eighty tables to two hundred tables.

Now the daily income, just from the commission income, has reached 200 taels.However, there are also many problems.
