Chapter 152: The Hidden Hand
After an afternoon of training on the playground, back to the barracks, the man had already bought the meat back, the soldiers were elated one by one, Liu Han took the opportunity to announce that in the future, that team can be trained well, that team can add vegetables, each person add a meat, if a team is the best training for five consecutive days, then each soldier of this team has a reward of one or two silver, and the leader of the team is rewarded with two taels of silver, and this evaluation is decided by secret ballot. To read a book
The soldier was even more excited when he heard this, and almost shouted Long live, the five chiefs looked at each other, Liu Han's hand was too powerful, and he directly pushed them to the opposite side of the soldier.
One tael of silver, for Liu Han is nothing, eat a flower wine in Baiyi Garden, and drink with Li Yan at noon is eight taels of silver, but the soldiers of the forbidden army only have one or two taels of silver per month, and the salary of the chief is only one or two and a half dollars, and the chief is two or two dollars, and the salary of his team is only two or two or five dollars, this is still a forbidden army, and it is necessary to change to the city guards, or the soldiers of other counties, the salary is lower, of course, there is no money for food and accommodation in the barracks, and these salaries are completely owned by themselves.
However, the consumption in this era is not much, and the living expenses of a family of three are only half a tael to eight dollars of silver a month, so what Liu Han set is definitely a heavy reward, not to mention the soldiers, even the ten army commanders will be red-eyed.
Moreover, Liu Han's decision is very strange, usually, such a generous reward is in his own hands, but Liu Han handed it over to the five chiefs below, which made Cheng Jia smell a little conspiracy.
"My lord's love, we are very grateful, but my lord, this reward is not appropriate for me to judge, I am afraid it is not appropriate, it is better for the adult to control it himself. Cheng Jia lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
"What Lord Cheng said, I am not familiar with training and soldiers, you lead soldiers to train every day, you are the people who know them best, it is up to you to decide, it is the fairest. Liu Han said with a smile, but his eyes were very cold, which made Cheng Jia cold and didn't dare to ask again.
"My lord," Xiao Peng interjected: "Small, I am very grateful to the adults for their trust in us, but my lord, we all have two soldiers, and when we evaluate, it is inevitable that we will have a preference for our subordinates, my lord, when the time comes, it will inevitably appear that I will vote for myself, my lord, how is this good?"
"Well, that's a problem, hey, you say, how to solve this?" Liu Han asked, Cheng Jia and Xiao Peng both bowed and saluted: "My subordinates don't know, please give me advice." ”
Liu Han looked at the five people, the five of them had different expressions, he smiled slightly: "I don't know what to do, you discuss a way to come out, if you can't help it, call the commander to discuss, if not, then let the soldiers come to discuss, I can tell you, you also have, if within a month, the subordinate of the chief gets the most reward, and he also has a reward of five taels of silver, hehe, how about it, my chief is generous enough." ”
The five chiefs were stunned, five taels of silver, one and a half times more than their military salary in January, how could this not make them red-eyed, and without waiting for them to express their position, Liu Han said again: "Among you who are well-informed, I probably already know, I am the owner of Hanhai Trading Company, I dare not say how rich I am, and this monthly reward must be fine, so don't give me silver, if you can't come up with a way, it will be equivalent to saving me silver." ”
Liu Han spoke quite loudly, and several soldiers on the side heard it, and their eyes changed when they looked at Shi Chang. Although the military salary of the forbidden army is high, this is a dead salary, even if the city guards in the outer city, not to mention anything else, just say that the city gate soldiers who defend the city in the outer city, that is a fat difference, and the monthly money collected is several times the military salary, not to mention the county soldiers, those county soldiers seem to have low salaries, in fact, the actual monthly income is definitely not low, even if the officials take the lion's head, the soldiers drink soup is enough for a big snack to drink.
But what about the forbidden army, patrolling in the inner city, the inner city is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, you dare to collect money from them! Looking for death is not this way to find it, so the most happy thing for the forbidden army soldiers is the court reward, it is said that the court is still very good to the forbidden army soldiers, and there are rewards for every New Year's holiday, but after the new monarch ascended the throne, the big guys are all dumbfounded, but now they haven't even seen a copper coin hair, and now it is easy to have a generous chief, if these chiefs will lose this reward, these soldiers do not hate them to death in their hearts.
Liu Han shook his hands and left, leaving the five chiefs here to worry about their brains, and the soldiers were scattered all over the barracks, staring at them as if they were nothing.
Out of the camp gate, Liu Han almost laughed, this is just a gadget, it doesn't cost a few taels of silver, in fact, it is very easy to break the bureau he set up, just a few chiefs join forces, and the purpose of setting up this bureau is to see if these chiefs are of the same heart, whether they will join forces to fight him.
Out of Yongchun Gate, he turned into an alley, stopped in the depths of the alley, and after a while, a small figure followed, and stopped when he saw him.
"Remember the man?"
"Remember, don't worry, shopkeeper. "Brother Tiger is no less wild, since he stopped tracking the owner of the gouache shop, Liu Han gave a new task, to organize the beggars who approached, just like he did in Chang'an, this kid is not a problem at all, change his clothes and plunge into the group of beggars, and within a few days he became the head of the group of beggars, Liu Han named his group of beggars the beggars Gang.
Liu Han quickly showed that this kid was simply a natural **** character, and his beggar gang soon expanded from a dozen people to seventy or eighty people, and also occupied a large piece of territory in the eastern part of the city, from Qinglong Avenue to the wharf, it was their territory.
"Starting tomorrow, let each of your people guard a junction, don't follow him, with your cultivation, once you follow him, he will definitely be exposed, mainly to see him go there and disappear there. ”
"Understood, shopkeeper. Brother Hu agreed very happily, and Liu Han frowned slightly: "Do you know what to do? ”
"What's not to understand about this," Brother Hu's tone was very casual, but his expression was very cautious: "The shopkeeper wants to check his whereabouts, starting tomorrow, I will put a person at every intersection in the inner city, and I will keep an eye on him and watch him go." ”
Liu Han thought for a while and corrected: "It's not every intersection, it's the intersection of this road, by the way, you can't use your beggar gang, that gang has a lot of mouths, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will spread out, and you have to transfer people from the village." ”
"No need, shopkeeper, just me and Brother Seven, the two of us, I have two absolutely reliable brothers in the gang, the four of us, absolutely check his bottom. Brother Tiger was full of confidence, so he almost patted his chest.
Liu Han glared at him sternly, Brother Tiger laughed dryly, Liu Han said coldly: "Don't think you're smart, I told you, this line, once it is discovered, there is only one result, not only do you have to die, but you also have to involve your brother, this guy can hide for so long, he must be very careful, otherwise I will just call someone, then use such trouble, I tell you, if this thing is messed up, I will take your life with my own hands!"
"Yes," Brother Hu felt a pang in his heart, and he didn't dare to smile anymore, so he quickly restrained his expression and said solemnly: "What the shopkeeper said is, but, the shopkeeper, I have my method, although this guy is careful, but the shopkeeper also said, this guy is arrogant, I am still a little cultivated, Seventh Brother and my two brothers have not cultivated, he will not put it in his eyes at all, besides, even if he has any enemies, he will not send a completely uncultivated person to check him, don't you say?"
Liu Han was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that the little guy was reasonable, although this Li Yan had little contact, he might be able to see that he was a very arrogant guy, like a half-grown child like Brother Hu, he could see at a glance that he had no cultivation, but after this guy came out of the village, he was mixed with Xiao Qi, and the two children were of the same age in Liufu, when Xiao Qi first arrived at Liu Han's side, he was still a little cringe, but after adapting, the liveliness in his nature was shown again.
However, Liu Han designed Xiao Qi to be a shopkeeper, and did not let him take the road of secret agents, but somehow, Xiao Qi didn't seem to have any interest in being a shopkeeper, Liu Han asked him, he told Liu Han that he wanted to be like him, Liu Han only figured out after a while, this kid witnessed the assassination in Liangzhou, and his mind may have changed.
But Xiao Qi is the same as Brother Hu, he is too old and has already lost at the starting line, however, Liu Han still decided to let him try, this is his habit, explain the truth to him clearly, give you a chance, as for whether it will work in the end, it depends on your efforts.
Xiao Qi still resolutely chose his own idea, so Liu Han handed him over to Liu Tong, Liu Tong is now the head of the inner and outer courtyards of the house, Liu Tong's cultivation is only slightly inferior to Liu Tielai, and he has also reached the peak of the eighth rank of martial arts. When he first arrived in the imperial capital, Liu Han put him in a manor outside the city, some time ago, due to the war with the Cao Gang, Liu Han and Liu Tie went out, so he was transferred to the city and served as the head of the outer courtyard of Liufu, however, some trivial matters were handled by the deputy chief Cai Xi, Cai Xi did not cultivate, and he was also an old man who came back from the Western Regions.
"Remember, the person who uses it must be a person who absolutely trusts, and you must not let him show up, even if you lose it, it's nothing, we have time," Liu Han decided to let Brother Hu do what he thought, and after a little contemplation, he added: " The rent price of the house in the inner city is expensive, if he has someone outside, I guess, it should be in the outer city, well, remember, it is better to lose it than to let him show up, if it is present, you must prepare some rhetoric, for example, if you want to steal something, or, ask for money or something, you have to negotiate something out, it must be reasonable. ”
"If, he meets with someone, the target of your tracking immediately turns to that person, and in the same way, you must not let that person notice, you would rather lose it than let him find out, understand!"
Brother Hu agreed again and again, and Liu Han told him again and again before letting him go. Brother Hu felt that this was a trivial matter, he used to do this in Chang'an, and he often did this, not to mention anything else, Xi Feng's kind of thing was checked by him, what is so great about this surnamed Li, he still checked his bottom.
