Chapter 38: Fulfilling the Bet
u absolutely cannot go to the brothel!She couldn't do what other women did, treating themselves as commodities to be sold.But there was also a hidden hope that the other party would choose him.The inn...The security team, led by Yang Lin, only needs ten people, but over sixteen or seventeen have signed up.
After all, the treatment of the guard team is really too good!
It protects everyone, saves face, and makes ten coins.
Thus, Yang Lin could only propose an assessment, testing strength, endurance, courage, martial arts, and special skills... Then he chose the best from the best, finally selecting ten people.
Yang Lin said to Zhong Tao, "Zhong Gege, from now on you'll be the captain of the guard team, and your pay will be five more wen than others."
Zhong Tao is a veteran who has been on the battlefield. He is less than thirty years old and in his prime. In the recent assessment, he not only ranked first in all aspects, but he was also one of the few villagers who had truly trained in martial arts.
Although Zhong Tao is tall and strong, he is rather shy. Hearing Yang Lin say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need to add money, ten wen is already a lot."
I said, my decision won't change, that's it.
Yang Lin said, and shouted to the crowd: "The tofu workshop was smashed, and it's temporarily impossible to work. The tofu workers can go home first."
The logging team, the stone-gathering team, and the kiln-firing team were working as usual.
"The guards stay."
Only the guards remained. Yang Lin said to Zhong Tao, "Brother Zhong, our guard team is especially important. Unlike other teams, it's crucial to maintain strict discipline. We must be brave and decisive in fighting, ready to confront evil and protect our property security. However, we mustn't cause trouble or abuse our power."
Here, I have a manual on the guard team's discipline and a system of rewards and punishments. You can take it back to review and tell everyone about it. We must all adhere to every single rule on it.
"The most important thing for our guards is character, the second most important thing is martial arts!"
Zhong Tao blankly accepted the piece of paper Yang Lin handed him, nodding eagerly.
The rest of the guards were also eager to make a big splash.
When Li Yuyao saw Yang Lin take out this piece of paper, she was even more certain of her guess.
This must have been prepared in advance!
Yang Lin explained to the members of the guard team the scope of their responsibilities and methods of daily training.
After the guard left, only family remained.
Li Yuxiang couldn't wait to ask, "So all this was planned by you all along"
Yang Lin shrugged. "Of course."
"How did you know that someone would target our tofu shop" Li Yuyao pressed.
It's simple, just stand in different positions to consider the problem, and you'll naturally know how others think.
"Someone will attack our tofu shop, it's only a matter of time."
Li Yuyao continued to press, "So since you knew, why didn't you prepare in advance Why wait until you were attacked before forming a bodyguard team"
Yang Lin smiled and said, "My wife, you say our tofu shop was smashed, is the loss big"
"Uh..."
Li Yuxiang was taken aback, she just wanted to say the losses were huge.
But then I thought, at the tofu workshop, there's nothing but wooden barrels and water tanks. The most valuable thing is probably the water mill.
Besides, even slightly more expensive iron pots are taken back home every day after use.
This loss doesn't amount to much.
She was suddenly struck by an idea, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
So, your true purpose from the beginning was to form a bodyguard unit
"If there's nothing happening, then forming a security team would be pointless. Such a team wouldn't have any cohesion and its formation would feel very abrupt."
"In this situation, forming a bodyguard unit becomes only natural!"
Just now, everyone, including myself, didn't realize this. We all felt that the guard unit should be established, it was necessary!
Li Yuyao was increasingly surprised as she spoke. Her gaze towards Yang Lin grew more and more shocked.
She understood the importance of the bodyguard squad far better than anyone else.
The guard squad is soldiers, they are the fighting force.
Although the initial purpose of its establishment was self-preservation.
But as long as the guard team develops, in the future it can become a private army completely!
Although the number of people is only ten now, what about the future Hundreds, thousands It's not impossible!
Yang Lin still possessed the methods for crafting crossbows, and could produce a large number of them in a short period.
But if you only equip the crossbow to the guard unit, this seemingly ordinary villager squad can instantly transform into a powerful archer force!
Thinking of these things, Li Yunyao's breathing became quick and short.
What on earth does he want to do
All that he did, seemed to be in line with his own goals!
Besides what you've said, there's actually one important point.
Yang Lin grinned and extended a finger.
Li Yuxiang was taken aback: “Any more”
Do you remember the bet we made the other day
"I said, within a short period of time, we can have the strength comparable to that of a wealthy family!"
"Now, we've done it."
Li Yuxiang was greatly surprised.
She just wanted to refute, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately realized that Yang Lin seemed to have really done it!
In terms of wealth, they may not yet rival the big families, but they are certainly not short of money now. Their medicinal herb business is very stable, and in time, their wealth will far exceed that of these county families.
As for their power, now each prominent family in the county town does business with them. Yang Lin has tied them all to his own chariot of profit. Anyone who makes things difficult for him is essentially cutting off the financial paths of other families. Therefore, unless it's a deep-seated grudge, no one would dare to act rashly against them.
With the addition of guards and crossbows, our defensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced.
Therefore, it's not an exaggeration to say that they now have the strength to rival top families.
"So, my lady, are you going to honor your bet, or are you going to back out"
Yang Lin looked at his beautiful wife with interest, planning to tease her.
“I...”
Li Yuxiang lightly bit her lip, her heart racing, and her face flushed.
The bet was that he would kiss him.
But, to kiss him in front of so many people...
Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.
"Hehehe, sister can't go back on her word." Little Nine winked.
"What's there to be afraid of, sister Your own husband. After the house is built, our bodies will all belong to him anyway. It's just a kiss on the lips. If not, I'll do it for you," Fourth Sister teased.
Si Mei is the most charming among all the sisters.
"I'll take care of it for my sister!"
Sanjie Liao Hongying stood up, without saying a word, rushed to Yang Lin's side, and kissed Yang Lin's face directly.
As a subject, how could I bear to see Your Majesty treated so lightly
Even if not for family, even if just for a good night's sleep, she would be willing.
Yang Lin was a little confused.
He hadn't actually planned to really kiss Li Yiyuan, he just wanted to temper her arrogant personality.
Result, who knew Liao Hongying was so impulsive, she came up and kissed directly.
These two people are definitely problematic!
"Is that enough If not, come again."
Liu Hongying said, and then another hard kiss, kissing Yang Lin's face red and ears burning.
All the women were dumbfounded.
Li Yuyao, however, bit her lips lightly, watching Liao Hongying take her place. She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
One is responsible for one's own actions!
"I promise, I'll keep my word!"
Li Yuxiang blushed and said.g families to be so eager for tofu, even offering an exorbitant ten taels of silver without bargaining.However, to achieve the goal of scarcity marketing, if it is said that there are only ten barrels...
