Chapter 38: Fulfilling the Bet

e about the dividends. Lord Zhao takes six tenths, and our Zhou family only needs three tenths."Zhou Zhengyang stretched out three fingers and said with a smile.Throughout the entire process, Zhao Dey...The guard team, Yang Lin, only needs ten people, but now there are sixteen or seventeen people who have signed up.

After all, the treatment of the guard team is really too good!

This way, you can protect everyone, save face, and make ten cash.

Thus, Yang Lin could only propose a test, comparing strength, endurance, courage, martial arts skill, and special talents... Then he selected the best from the best, choosing ten in the end.

Yang Lin said to Zhong Tao, "Zhong Gege, from now on you will be the captain of the guard team. Your pay will be five more wen than others."

Zhong Tao is a veteran who has seen battle. At less than thirty, he is in his prime. In the recent assessment, he not only ranked first in all aspects but was also one of the few villagers who had truly trained in martial arts.

Although Zhong Tao looks tall and strong, he is actually quite shy. Hearing Yang Lin say this, he quickly waved his hand and said: "No need to add money, ten wen is already a lot."

I said before, my decision won't change, that's it.

Yang Lin said, and shouted to the crowd: "The tofu shop was smashed, and it's temporarily impossible to work. The tofu workers should go home first."

"The logging team, the stone-mining team, and the brick-making team are all working as usual."

The guards stay.

Only the members of the bodyguard team were left. Yang Lin said to Zhong Tao: "Brother Zhong, our bodyguard team is especially important. It's different from other teams. We must be strict with discipline. We must be brave in fighting and acting, dare to fight against evil, and dare to protect our property safety. But we can't cause trouble or act arrogantly because of our power."

“I have a handbook on guard duty regulations and disciplinary measures here. Take it back and read through it, then explain it to everyone. Every single point in there is something we must all follow.”

"The most important thing for our guard is character, the second is martial arts!"

Zhong Tao dazedly took the paper Yang Lin handed him, nodding hastily.

The rest of the guards were also eager to have a go.

Upon seeing Yang Lin pull out this piece of paper, Li Yuyao became even more certain of her guess.

This was definitely prepared in advance!

Yang Lin then told the members of the security team about their responsibilities and daily training methods.

After the guards left, only family remained.

Li Yuyao couldn't wait to ask, "So you had all of this prepared beforehand"

Yang Lin shrugged. "Of course."

"How do you know someone would target our tofu shop" Li Yuy Yao pressed.

"This is simple, just stand in different positions to consider the problem, and you'll naturally know how others think."

"Someone will try to take us down, it's only a matter of time."

Li Yuxiang continued to press: "So since you knew, why didn't you prepare earlier Had to be smashed before forming a bodyguard team"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "My wife, you said our tofu shop was smashed, causing great losses"

"Uh..."

Li Yuyao was taken aback, she just wanted to say that the loss was great.

But on second thought, the tofu shop wouldn't have much. Just wooden barrels, water tanks, and at most, the millstone would be the most valuable.

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 something and gasped in astonishment.

So, your real intention from the start was to form a bodyguard unit

"If there's nothing happening, then forming a security team wouldn't make sense. Such a team would lack cohesion and its formation would be too abrupt."

"And in this situation, forming a guard unit just makes sense!"

Just now, none of us realized this, including myself. We all felt that the bodyguard team should be established, and it was absolutely necessary!

Li Yuyao was increasingly surprised as she spoke, and her gaze towards Yang Lin grew more and more shocked.

She understood the importance of the guard unit far better than anyone else.

The Guard is soldiers, it's a fighting force.

Though the initial purpose of its establishment was self-preservation.

But just as the bodyguard team develops, it can completely become a private army in the future!

Although the number of people is only ten at present, what about the future Hundreds, thousands It's not impossible!

Yang Lin still possesses the techniques for crafting crossbows, and could produce a large number of them in a short period of time.

But if you just equip the crossbow to the guards, this squad that looks like only villagers can instantly become a powerful archer team!

Thinking of this, Li Yuyao's breathing became rapid.

What on earth does he want to do

Everything he did seemed to align with his own goals!

"Besides what you said, there's actually one more important point."

Yang Lin smiled and stretched out a finger.

Li Yuyao was startled: "There's more"

"Remember that bet we made the other day"

"I said, in a short time, we can have the strength to rival aristocratic families!"

"Now, we've done it."

Li Yuxiang was taken aback.

She just wanted to retort, 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 prominent families, but they are not short of money at present. Moreover, their medicinal herbs business is very stable. Given time, their wealth will far surpass that of these county-level families.

As for power, now every major 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 effectively cutting off the financial path of other families. Therefore, unless there is a deep grudge, no one would dare to act rashly against them.

With the addition of guards and crossbows, our ability to defend ourselves has been significantly enhanced.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have already achieved the strength comparable to top families.

"So my lady, are you going to honor your bet, or are you planning to back out"

Yang Lin looked at his beautiful wife with great interest, planning to tease her.

"I..."

Li Yuxiang lightly bit her teeth, her heart beating faster, and her face flushed red.

The bet was that he would kiss me.

But, in front of so many people, to kiss him...

Even thinking about it makes me feel ashamed.

"Hee hee hee, big sister can't go back on her word," little nine said with a sly smile.

"Big sister, what are you afraid of It's your own husband. After the house is built, we'll give our bodies to him anyway. It's just a kiss on the lips. If not, I'll do it for you," Little Sister said teasingly.

Si Mei is the most charming among all the sisters.

"I'll take care of it for my sister!"

Sanjie Liao Hongying stepped forward without hesitation, rushed to Yang Lin's side, and kissed Yang Lin on the face.

As a subject, how could I bear to see Your Majesty treated with such disrespect

Even if not for family, even if just for a good sleep, she would be willing.

Yang Lin was a little confused.

He hadn't actually intended to really kiss Li Yuyao, he just wanted to smooth out her haughty personality.

To everyone's surprise, Liao Hongying was so impulsive that she came up and kissed him directly.

These two people are definitely problematic!

"

Enough Not enough, come again.

"

Liao Hongying said, and there was another forceful kiss, leaving Yang Lin's face flushed red.

All the women were dumbfounded.

Li Yuyao, however, lightly bit her lips, watching Liao Hongying stand in for her. A feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart.

"One man does the work, one man takes responsibility!"

“I promise, I keep my word!”

Li Yuxiang blushed and said.'t a little..."Qin Shuang asked worriedly."A bit too harsh" Yang Lin nodded. "Indeed, but now is a busy time, we must let those who harbor ill intentions know what the consequences are for messing wit...
