Chapter 310: Forming Scouts
When he finished speaking, no one in the Tang Dynasty moved, they just stayed in place with a look of surprise.
Did they hear it correctly?
Magistrate Lin, let these mud-legged people stay in his house for one night?
Are you kidding me? They are wearing tattered and dirty clothes. When ordinary dignitaries see them, who wouldn't look disgusted?
If you fail to avoid them, you will probably get beaten up on the spot if you encounter those people, but County Magistrate Lin doesn't dislike them?
Moreover, it snowed heavily this winter and the temperature was extremely low. They had not taken a shower for a long time and had a strong smell of sweat.
With this look, why don't you mess up Mr. Lin's house?
"Why didn't you respond? Could it be that you dislike the small size of my yard?"
A gust of cold wind blew, Lin Xiaofan shrank subconsciously and asked.
"No, no, Lord Magistrate, how could we dislike you? But if we lose our attire, wouldn't it make your house dirty?"
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, if you have this heart, we will be very satisfied. With our appearance, we will not cause you any trouble."
"Lord Magistrate, we can just stay here for one night."
Everyone hurriedly explained, fearing that Lin Xiaofan would misunderstand.
They don't want to go because they feel in their bones that they are not worthy of going to a wealthy family's mansion.
They were already grateful to County Magistrate Lin for having such a heart. The other party took the initiative to invite, and they were even more unwilling to go to Magistrate Lin's house and cause trouble to Magistrate Lin.
"Magistrate Lin asks you to go, then you go."
Bao Tianqing also spoke from the side.
"Fellows and fellow villagers, we are working for the people at the same time. What is the distinction between high and low? You and I are both from peasant backgrounds. Since you were selected to join the guard, you have all fought hard on the battlefield."
"I just read a few more books than you and learned some skills in making plans. Without the efforts of thousands of you Qingzhou Army, how could I have achieved what I have today? I, Lin Xiaofan, can be where I am today because of you. . Let alone staying in my courtyard for one night, so what if I give it to you as a gift?"
Lin Xiaofan looked at these simple farmers and started talking.
Everyone on the field was excited when they heard this, and many even had a few tears in their eyes.
Lin Xiaofan's words touched their hearts.
Each of them has fought countless times on the battlefield, but no one has ever mentioned their merits, and even the country is unwilling to give them money.
"Fellow folks, just come and live in my house. There will be no trouble. If you don't go, I will feel guilty."
Lin Xiaofan bowed.
After hearing this, these talents set off one after another.
The two side rooms are not small, but it is still a bit crowded if two hundred people are to be accommodated there. By the time this arrangement was completed, it was already late at night.
"Song Shang, starting from tomorrow, you will be responsible for their training. From now on, just ask Wen Yue to take me to the Yamen."
Lin Xiaofan looked at Song Shang, who had been following him, and spoke.
"How should we train them? Is it the same as before?"
Song Shang opened his mouth and confirmed.
He had led a convoy of forty people before, so he had some experience.
"These are veterans who have been on the battlefield for six years. They know how to use swords and guns themselves. There is no need to teach them. The main thing is to train their physical fitness and teach them how to use the repeating crossbow."
"At that time, I will divide them into four teams and let the four team captains of our previous escort team lead them respectively. You will coordinate the overall situation. This time, time is tight, and the rogue bandits may cause chaos at any time."
"You select ten people from each team and teach them how to use the repeating crossbow. After two days, let them patrol between the villages and exercise their physical fitness."
Lin Xiaofan ordered.
Each team is equipped with ten repeating crossbows, which is enough to deal with hundreds of bandits.
"Also, you must be on guard against others, and the repeating crossbow must be kept well. Distribute it to everyone during patrols during the day, and keep it together at night to ensure that it will not be leaked."
Lian Nu is currently the trump card of the Qingzhou Army and must not be allowed to be obtained by anyone who is interested.
Hearing this, Song Shang nodded solemnly. He has also fought many tough battles, so he naturally knows the importance of repeating crossbows.
"It's getting late, go get some rest early, and I'll arrange the matter myself until tomorrow."
Lin Xiaofan yawned and couldn't even lift his eyelids.
He also had an idea. He could find a dozen people from the team to serve as scouts, and let the maid in pink clothes teach them some concealment techniques, and hide themselves in the places at the junction of Degao Town and Minfeng Town.
Once the rogue bandits arrive, they have a high chance of discovering them in advance. At that time, manpower can be summoned to carry out encirclement and suppression.
I just don’t know if the little maid is willing to teach, and if the Zhao family is willing.
……
When Lin Xiao returned to the family, he immediately found Duanmu Liangchuan.
"Brother Duanmu, you are really amazing! Lin Xiaofan really wants to give me the position of chief clerk."
Lin Xiao saw that the lights in the house were still on, so he walked directly in and said.
Duanmu Liangchuan was writing something when he saw Lin Xiao coming in. He quickly stood up and saluted:
"Lin Xiaofan wants to be corrupt and wants to be a clean official, so he needs the help of your Lin family, and he also needs someone to do things for him. So I boldly guessed that he would give Lin Yu the position of chief administrator. But I don't know, this What conditions does Lin Xiaofan want?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao waved his hand and said indifferently:
"It's just two better restaurants. The total amount is only a thousand taels of silver. Compared with the position of the main bookkeeper, it is not worth mentioning."
"Just two restaurants?"
Duanmu Liangchuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
With such a good opportunity, Lin Xiaofan didn't ask for more money from the Lin family?
"Then Lin Xiaofan wanted a restaurant. Originally, his condition was Qianling Tower, but Qianling Tower is the lifeblood of the Wang family, so he would definitely not come. So I told him that I would try my best to help him get it. If it was not possible, Just give him two restaurants as compensation."
Seeing that Duanmu Liangchuan was puzzled, Lin Xiao continued to explain.
At this time, he was still in excitement.
Hearing this, Duanmu Liangchuan nodded slightly, but there was still a look of confusion on his face.
County Magistrate Lin must have been able to tell that Duanmu Liangchuan would never give him Qianling Tower and would only replace it with two restaurants. If that's the case, why would you agree so easily?
Thinking about it, he continued:
"In this case, Lin Xiaofan should be a corrupt official. But if he has such high expectations for Patriarch Lin, will he feel resentful if he only gets two ordinary restaurants in the end?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao calmed down a bit.
Yes, Magistrate Lin is probably still waiting for Qianling Tower at home. If he only takes two restaurants with him, the other party will definitely not be happy.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"When I go to deliver the land deed, I will also give him a bunch of treasures. I think he should have some balance in his heart. If he wants to make a lot of money in the future, he still needs the help of our Lin family. I think he should know how to appreciate it."
A pile of treasures is only a thousand taels of silver, which is still acceptable to their family. As long as Lin Yu can take the position of chief registrar, it will be useless for Lin Xiaofan to go back on his word.
