Beginning from the world of Uncle Jiu, he tricked his master into enlightening him.

Chapter 96 Accumulate Strength
After Lin Cheng returned to Renjia Town, the first thing he did was to call Awei over and tell him to start recruiting people immediately.

This time there is no limit on the number of people, but there are very strict requirements on the quality of all aspects of the personnel.

We only recruit young people, those with good health, and those with a flexible mind, not those with slender brains!

As for gender, Lin Cheng has no requirements. As long as she is qualified in all aspects, Lin Cheng will accept even a girl.

Because what Lin Cheng wants to train this time is special forces, the kind of special forces that can carry out various difficult tasks in a team of seven or eight people.

For Lin Cheng, who doesn't want to be the king and hegemon, such special forces are the most useful.

It has sufficient deterrence effect and can also perform various special tasks.

However, in troubled times, ordinary troops must of course be maintained, but the number does not need to be too many, 1000 is enough.

For Lin Cheng, who had just plundered millions of dollars from Huang Silang, it was still very simple to raise an army of this size.

In this way, Lin Cheng was recruiting people and waiting for Zhang Mazi to come over. At the same time, he also ordered his men to keep an eye on the situation of the eight county magistrates.

All in all, things went well.

When the eight county magistrates went to the county town where they were located, most of them were quite obedient, at least openly they did not go against the magistrate.

There was only one place where local gentry targeted the county magistrate sent by Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng also asked him to be patient for the time being and not to use force as long as he didn't touch the bottom line.

Everything will wait until the first batch of special forces are trained.

The recruitment of manpower also went smoothly. As Temple Market Street became more and more popular, ordinary villagers in Renjia Town also made some money by selling snacks and small gifts.

As a result, Lin Cheng's status in Renjia Town was getting higher and higher. When they heard that he was recruiting people, many villagers asked their children to sign up.

In just one month, Lin Chengcheng recruited 1200 people, 1000 of whom were classified as ordinary troops, and the other [-] with better overall qualities were classified as special forces.

At this time, Zhang Mazi also escorted Dayang to Renjia Town.

Lin Cheng rushed up to him immediately, held Zhang Mazi's hand, and said sincerely:
"Mazi, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Mazi was also very moved and replied affectionately.

"It's not hard work, life is hard."

"But with a boss like you, no matter how miserable your life is, you deserve it."

Lin Cheng:.
Hey, this guy has something to say, and his resentment is also growing.

After some exchanges, Lin Cheng finally learned the reason from Zhang Mazi.

It turned out that it was Lin Cheng who failed to clean up his hands when dealing with Huang Silang, which led to the leak of the news.

Several big families in Echeng, as well as some fellow bandits, all knew that Zhang Mazi had 100 million yuan in his hands.

This was a big deal. Along the way, there were bandits who robbed the road, officers who set up roadblocks, and local gangsters who blocked the road. It can be said that we have gone through a lot of hardships.

It was Zhang Mazi who was very capable. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, he not only successfully grabbed Dayang, but also brought it to Renjia Town.

Hearing this, Lin Chengcheng asked anxiously:

"You didn't attract that group of people, did you?"

Lin Cheng felt a little regretful. Thinking about it carefully, his original approach was indeed inappropriate.

If those bandits are really attracted, Renjia Town will never have peace.

For 100 million oceans, they will do anything.

Zhang Mazi rolled his eyes when he heard this and said disdainfully:

"How could I, Mr. Zhang, make such a low-level mistake? I had already lured those guys to Tengteng Town by using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Lin Cheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then arranged for Zhang Mazi and his brothers to rest for three days, and gave each of them a consumption card.

To put it simply, you can spend whatever you want on Miaoshi Street and he will pay the bill.

Zhang Mazi and his brothers were indeed exhausted and devoted themselves to the gentle village. They came out of Yingchun Building on the third day with dark circles under their eyes.

Well, after three days of rest, they seem to be even weaker.

Lin Cheng didn't care about this. He grabbed Zhang Mazi and started talking about asking Zhang Mazi to be the leader of the instructors.

"What, you want me to help train the troops?"

"I'm just a gangster. I'm afraid I can't do this kind of thing."

Zhang Mazi didn't want to get involved in the bullshit among warlords for a long time.

Based on his ability, if he really wanted to join the army, even the big warlords would be rushing to get him.

It's just that he is very disappointed with the warlords of this era. They only make profits every day and do some shameful things.

Therefore, Zhang Mazi would rather fall into the trap than join the gang.

Lin Cheng knew that Zhang Mazi would not agree so easily, and he had already prepared his words and said:

"I know that you followed General Songpo in your early years and served as a pistol captain."

"I also know that your current abilities are far more than just a pistol captain."

"Are you willing to let all your talents be buried?"

Zhang Mazi shook his head with a smile and sighed:

"Boss, you don't know what I've been through."

"ability?"

"What abilities do I have? My greatest ability is to lead people to death."

"Boss, please stop trying to persuade me. I once swore that I would never help others fight in a war again in my life."

Lin Cheng was silent for a long time after hearing this. Hearing what Zhang Mazi meant, it seemed that he had a hidden agenda.

However, no matter what Zhang Mazi had hidden, he had to convince him today.

Lin Cheng didn't go through all this effort just to find bodyguards.

"What if I give money?"

Lin Cheng still used his strongest skill, the method of recruiting people by throwing money.

He believed that no matter what the reason was, since Zhang Mazi would turn into a bandit, he must be obsessed with money.

Zhang Mazi smiled and exhaled:
"Boss, you don't know me at all."

"This is not a question of money, me."

Before Zhang Mazi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Cheng: "You have visited Temple Market Street in the past few days, right?"

Zhang Mazi didn't understand why Lin Cheng asked this question, so he just nodded blankly.

To be honest, after traveling all over the country for so many years, he has rarely seen such a prosperous place.

There are huge crowds of people during the day and feasting at night.

In short, there was no traffic there all day long.

"I have selected eight places across the country and plan to build eight more temple streets."

"In my plan, the scale of each one is larger than that of Renjia Town!"

Lin Cheng took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Zhang Mazi looked confused. He still didn't understand what Lin Cheng meant.

Why are you telling me this? Are you showing off your wealth?
"Train a security force for me, and I'll give you [-]% of the shares in Temple City Street!"

Zhang Mazi:
Although he is now a gangster, he has once been brilliant, and he has a lot of experience.

Zhang Mazi knows very well how much profit Temple Market Street can bring.

To describe it as making a lot of money every day is far from enough to show how much money it attracts!

But for such a cash cow, even if the profit is only [-]%, it is an exaggerated figure. Just give it away?
Is this young boss such a spendthrift?

"By the way, let me add that I am talking about the profits of all Temple Street."

"Including the eight planned to be built, as well as those that will be built in the future."

"In short, as long as you build one, I will give you [-]% of the shares!"

Lin Cheng said loudly.

He has never been stingy with talent.

What's more, what he gave was only the ocean, which was of little use to Lin Cheng!

Hearing this, Zhang Mazi's breathing became rapid.

Faced with such a huge benefit, even if he had really sworn an oath, he had no intention of keeping it.

The oath, I don’t have the money to talk about the oath.

In this day and age, the rich are the boss!

"Boss, I have one more request."

Zhang Mazi had already agreed, but remembering his son's ideal, he made one more request.

Lin Cheng glanced at Zhang Mazi and frowned slightly. He felt that the price he had offered was high enough, and Zhang Mazi had gone too far.

However, he did not object immediately, but said softly:
"You said."

Zhang Mazi took a deep breath and replied:
"I can ask for less shares, but please ask the boss to accept Liu Zi as his apprentice."

Lin Cheng was stunned when he heard this, accept a disciple?
It had never occurred to him.

However, according to the rules of the Maoshan sect, as long as you become an earth master, you can go down the mountain to accept disciples and establish your own sect.

Lin Cheng is now at the fourth level of Earth Master, and is indeed qualified to accept disciples.

He thought about it for a moment.

This kid Liuzi is reckless and impulsive. Generally speaking, he is a very tough person.

But he has one advantage: he will protect those he recognizes even if he sacrifices his life.

In the movie, the reason why he did such stupid things as having a dissection to get jelly was to maintain Zhang Mazi's image of being the great master of Qingtian.

Under the circumstances at that time, facing Hu Wan's carefully designed game, he had no other choice.

Or be a coward, which will damage Zhang Mazi's reputation.

Either stand up and sacrifice yourself for Zhang Mazi just like in the movie.

To be honest, although Lin Cheng didn't approve of Liu Zi's actions, he admired him very much.

It's not that I admire Liuzi's bravery, nor is he brave, at most he is considered a reckless man.

What Lin Cheng admired was the loyalty of Liu Zi who dared to sacrifice in order to protect Zhang Mazi.

It seems to be a good thing to have such a disciple who protects him wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng curled his lips, nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, but I won't deduct your shares. I'll give you another [-]%, and I'll give you [-]% of the shares!"

"The extra two percent is a gift from me to my apprentice, and it's up to you to keep it."

"Don't give it to him now until he gets married!"

Zhang Mazi didn't expect that Lin Cheng would agree so readily. He thought that Lin Cheng would disagree because Liu Zi was older.

He grinned and said:
"Boss, I also want to learn Taoism. How about you take me in as well?"

Lin Cheng:.
As expected of a gangster, you are extremely proficient in your skills.

In the end, Lin Cheng still refused to accept Zhang Mazi.

However, he promised that if Zhang Mazi performed well, he could find another master for him.

In this way, Zhang Mazi was finally defeated by the offensive of money.

He became the chief instructor and chief captain of Lin Cheng's newly established escort team!
There are four divisions.

The second to fourth detachments are ordinary detachments, each with 300 people. The captains are Qiu Sheng, Ah Wei, and Zhang Mazi, the second among the brothers.

The first detachment is a special detachment with 200 people, with Zhang Mazi temporarily serving as the detachment leader.

There are still 100 people in the reserve force, who will be organized into four units according to the situation, or they will be added after the team is expanded again.

Lin Cheng plans to continue to expand the reserve force and keep the number at around 500 so that unqualified or injured regular members can be replaced at any time.

At the same time, Lin Cheng also has a group of professional bodyguards trained by the four major bodyguards, about 200 of them.

They will be responsible for the personal protection of Lin Cheng's important members, including Wen Cai and Jiu Shu, of course.

In other words, Lin Cheng will have a team of 1800 people.

This kind of power is not too weak even among many warlords.

It's enough to deter most people with evil intentions.
