Fighting for Power

Lin Wu watched Zou Shuyi speak, and stood up and supported him;

"Reporting to the Grand Grand Chief, I agree with Manager Zou Da's proposal that adding the staff of night is as big as twenty, which is indeed feasible.

There are so many people on duty at night. There are three or five thieves who come to make trouble, and there is no need to send out other people to patrol the night. A bunch of people on duty can be cleaned up on the spot.

As for the extra team, in my opinion, three teams are not redundant, after all, night and daytime are halfway.

During the day, there are people in the village, so there is no need to be careful of anything. But in the dark night, when the lights are turned off and the village is empty, so you must be careful."

Li Yu looked at the thoughtful Liu Wanquan, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he spoke directly;

"The two major managers should sit first. This matter should indeed be re-established. I wonder what Chief Liu's opinion is, so I might as well talk to you in person."

Liu Wanquan was also thinking about the night shift. When he saw him asking about him, he stood up calmly;

"The patriarch Rong Bing, what Mr. Ma and the two great managers said were the top priority, and I all agreed very much that we should indeed add more people at night.

But on weekdays, the soldiers of the government volunteered to participate. When the mansion needed it, I could also allocate personnel, but I never gave the men a lot of money, nor did I get a reward for a grain of millet.

Only these nine teams in charge can be treated as two managers, with a monthly rate of 200.

The soldiers who participated in the night did not make any progress... If they had too many jobs, they would inevitably complain and ask the husband to make a clear decision."

Li Yu nodded when he heard this. He understood what Liu Wanquan meant. Most of the guys were brothers who had been with him for many years.

He wanted to get some inputs for his brothers to subsidize his family, but he had no bad intentions and could not use much money.

Moreover, those old soldiers are also under Li's subordinates. If they don't feel sorry for themselves, who will I tell them to feel sorry for?

He turned his head and looked at the eight teams sitting on both sides, all of whom stretched their necks and looked at him with anticipation. Li Yu didn't want to disappoint them, so he spoke directly;

"What Commander Liu said is also reasonable. Since ancient times, the saying is not bad. You can't get up early without profit.

And they are all strong men who support their families. If they don’t give a big money and don’t see a grain of millet, there is something wrong with it.

These old soldiers, responsible for the safety of the mansion, have to go out to be responsible for procurement matters, and have to participate in patrols and night-time work.

We should indeed take care of one or two, and since that's the case, it's time for our rules to change."

The old man sitting next to Ma Benchu ​​was a little anxious. He was the chief manager of the front yard of the previous two generations. Later, his eldest son died of illness, and his grandson Li Zhong inherited the position of the chief manager. He lived with Li for the rest of his life. He was loyal and closely followed the various expenses in the mansion.

As the head of a family born into a son, he was used to being frugal in the expenses of the mansion. Now he looked at Liu Wanquan and obviously wanted to give his subordinates good things, so he couldn't help but stand up;

"You report to the head of the family, our Lantian Li family has more than 300 large families and a thousand strong men. They don't have to pay a lot of money. You can pick some strong ones and be on duty at night to guard the safety of the village. Please ask the head of the family to decide."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the other eighteen old men stood up to support each other, saying that they could use their children to have a strong man to patrol the night, so as to save as much as possible...

Li Yu knew very well that these old men were used to hard life and were loyal.

They are very distressed when they get out a lot of people and spend a lot of extra money every month.

Besides, the nineteen clan leaders grew up together, so naturally they responded to each other. Liu Wanquan wanted to get some benefits for his children, but it was hard to support him.

But then again, although the family has a strong and healthy male child, they are all ordinary people who have not been trained. Compared with the veterans who came out of the battlefield, they are more than a little bit worse.

Things must always be considered in many aspects, and you cannot just save money, but will ruin the original intention and original intention.

He raised his hand to comfort the nineteen old men, telling them not to be too excited, and all sat down and talked.

Only then did Li Yu speak up and summarize;

"I know all your thoughts, and you can also adopt your opinions and arrange some strong men to have children and learn from the old soldiers on duty.

But we still have to focus on the old mansion soldiers. We are much worse in experience. Manager Zou and Manager Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Wulang directly expressed his support for Liu Wanquan's decision, and Zou Shuyi also stood up again.

Many people have a lot of opinions about her doing this farming business, but Liu Wanquan and Lin Wulang never talked badly.

And she is very concerned, so she and the Mansion Soldiers have recently been around. Now, Lang Jun knows that he will talk to the Mansion Soldiers, but he still wants to ask himself.

I guess Lang Jun knew it in his mind, it was just a formality. Why couldn’t he say it? After Zou Shuyi figured out this point, he talked openly;

"Report to the chief of the clan, I think this is the case. The old soldiers who retreated will not talk about the thirty-nine families in the mansion, but only a few villages have a total of more than 200 people. Even if you give some subsidies, you don't have to take out too much.

These people are experienced and fought on the battlefield. How can ordinary people compare with them? We can pay some money and make money worth it.

In the past, there was no big reward, and everyone was meticulous and did not treat it carelessly, and no one came to ask for money. But today, let's discuss this matter behind closed doors.

I think it is normal for me to subsidize some household income to the retired soldiers, so I ask the grand clan leader to adopt it."

Deng Kun, Xiang Sui and eight others wanted to stand up and seek some benefits for their subordinates, and also support the lieutenant.

However, when I entered the ancestral hall, I was warned by the commander. It was not easy to come in. I could not talk nonsense, make jokes, and break the rules.

So the eight men could only be anxious. Those who could speak were from the military faction. Among the major officials present, only Zou Shuyi and Lin Wulang could support the commander.

Manager Zou Da has already publicly supported him and asked his husband to make money for his men. If Lin Wulang works harder at this moment, this matter will be not far from success.

Behind the head of the nineteenth clan, four teams sitting facing Lin Wulang, were staring at Lin Wu.

Xiang Sui sat diagonally facing Lin Wu. They used to be bad under the command of the commander. They were both team leaders and were of the same age. They had a strong relationship for more than ten years in private.

Xiang Sui winked Lin Wu with a fierce look, then secretly pointed at Lin Wu, and then pointed at himself.

The meaning is very clear. Old man, although you have done a great job, don’t forget that you are a member of the military faction of the Mansion. If you don’t look to your own people, will you want to have a son to your family?

Lin Wulang saw the posture of the old brother Xiang Sui clearly, and of course he understood Xiang Sui's meaning.

Since I became a chief manager, I have always been the commander-in-chief and Zou Shuyi to help him.

Other big managers, no matter whether he can do his job well, I'm afraid someone will have to wait and see a joke. How come he doesn't know which side he should stand on?

Lin Wulang waited for the gap when Zou Shuyi's voice fell and stood up without hesitation;

"I have reported to the great clan leader, what the manager Zou Da said is very good. Although there is no shortage of strong men in the village, the men who are still good at inspecting the village and resisting the thieves' responsibilities.

Of course, you can also send some helpers to help, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort, but the men who patrol the night should indeed increase their support.

Make full use of more than 200 children, almost all of them are idle in the village. Isn’t it a pity to abandon them? Please give them up and learn from them."

Lin Wu became sensible this time and did not conflict with the faction that gave birth to a child, let alone the money matter.

It is said that the retreating military soldiers should make every effort to do their best and send additional staff. As for money matters, Lin Wutit did not mention it.

As the chief manager of the front yard, Li Zhong is also responsible for part of the security of the mansion and has the most say.

However, he did not agree with his own idea. The family gave birth to a strong man and patrol the night can indeed reduce the expenses in the mansion.

But when the fight really happened, it was incomparable to those soldiers who had retired from the battlefield. Take last night as an example.

The villager Lu Bin fought with the thieves, and the Zhou Wang family fought to the death to help. As a result, although he took down the thief, he was seriously injured on the bed.

But looking at the achievements of the mansion soldiers, Dawangzhuang's team was looking forward to the sui, and cut off a head with his hands, and entered the mansion to celebrate the merits.

Not to mention Duncan from Tianjia Village, he and his brother and half son of the previous head of the family, got the true martial arts of Alang, and killed two thieves who were supporting him alone, and it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

These fully demonstrate that the difference between the soldiers in the palace and the people cannot be filled by courage and loyalty.

Therefore, he supports the idea of ​​the Mansion faction very much. Professional things need specialized people to do, which is the serious way.

Therefore, Li Zhong secretly pulled his clothes behind his back and asked him to support his family's son-off faction, and remained indifferent.

He felt that this matter was not a time to fight for power and profit, and he could not let Taiwen fight, so he pretended not to know everything, and sat in the Taishi chair like a wooden man without moving.

Liu Wanquan looked at Xiao Tong with a smile and said;

"Today, the ancestral hall is to openly discuss important matters and everyone can speak. I wonder what General Manager Xiao thinks about the decision of the Grand Chief. Why do you want to discuss it together to provide some reference for the Grand Chief?"

Xiao Tong thought to himself, I just sat here and could find me on my head. It's time to repay the favors of others.

Last time, Xiao Tong pleaded for the two chefs who served his mother, Liu Wanquan agreed on the spot, so Liu Wanquan forced Xiao Tong to speak and express his opinion, just to get back that favor.

This is all publicly mentioned, and Xiao Tong is not good at sitting and pretending to be asleep anymore, so he is worth standing up;

"The Grand Grand Chief, I think the proposal of Commander Liu is feasible, and the Grand Grand Grand Chief's decision is correct.

The old soldiers fought in the battle formation, and it was just right to deal with the thieves. However, some strong men who gave birth to children could also be added to follow him.

If you try harder, you may not be able to stand alone in the future. Please accept it."

Most of what Xiao Tong said was towards the faction of the mansion army, and the other half did not offend the faction of the family's son, so it was quite familiar.

Liu Qi, who was beside Xiao Tong, was an outsider like Xiao Tong, and could only choose to advance and retreat with Xiao Tong. Seeing Xiao Tong sit down, Liu Qi also stood up to express his opinions;

"I have reported to the great clan leader, and I agree with the great clan leader's decision. The military soldier in the palace is extremely powerful and has held several positions. He has been doing errands for many years every day, but he has never asked for a lot of money.

Now that we have to increase the staff of the night, we will have more work in the future. We will only give some subsidies and also be a matter of cleaning up. Please consider it more."

Li Yu nodded and said;

"Well, I know what the two workshop managers mean, so General Secretary Liu will sit down."

"yes."

Liu Qi agreed and sat down again.

A group of old men looked at Liu Wanquan who had many helpers, and turned their heads to stare at Ma Benchu, waiting for him to speak.

Everyone was in the same mind. As long as Ma Benchu ​​took the lead, no matter what he said, all the patriarchs of the 19th surname would stand up to support them.

Ma Benchu ​​had already spoken, and at this time he had other ideas and wanted to pull out all the officials of the family's son-in-law faction.
