wealthy lord

Chapter 217: Rewards based on merit and sow discord

Seeing that he seemed to be loose, Lin Yun continued: "There is one more thing. I haven't had time to report it to you, sir. Just yesterday, I and the Sun family have made a preliminary agreement. We can use Baicaotang's equipment to transport food. Commercial transportation! I have studied that route, and it happens to pass through Haocheng. As long as Haocheng is captured, at least the more than a thousand miles between Yucheng and Haocheng will be our sphere of influence. By then, Lord Fuyin can You will get more!”

Qiu Guangri raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Lin Yun, I really appreciate you more and more! You actually did so many things quietly!"

It was indeed true that Lin Yun was able to capture the Wang family, which already surprised him.

You must know that Wang Chuanzhong has both military and horse control. Although military generals are not as good as civilian officials in peacetime, military generals are always the most important part of the court.

And Wang Chuanzhong was also an official appointed by the Imperial Ministry of War, so his loyalty was naturally no problem.

But he was still taken under Lin Yun's command.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

As for the Sun family, it's even more extraordinary.

Behind the Sun family is Baicaotang, he has known this for a long time.

Although Baicaotang did not belong to the bureaucracy, it had a special status in the Daduan Dynasty.

If the Sun family had been recruited so easily, he would have done it long ago in Qiu Guangri.

It’s not that he didn’t try, he just failed in the end.

This shows how powerful Lin Yun is.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are ridiculous! I only have a little understanding of human nature!"

"That's it! That being the case, then I will promise you! However, I also have to make a request! It would be best if Mr. Lin agrees. If you don't agree, then you might as well kill me now!"

Lin Yun also understood that he should not push too hard, otherwise it would be self-defeating.

He smiled and said, "Sir, please tell me!"

"I can agree to let your people enter Yucheng Mansion, but these people must not interfere with my government orders, let alone affect my private affairs! If not, then I will never agree!"

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, no problem!!"

In fact, he had no choice but to send people to monitor Qiu Guangri.

This old guy has a criminal record. If he really secretly tells the Lin family about his situation, it will be bad.

Therefore, Lin Yun didn't intend to keep an eye on him too closely. As long as Qiu Guangri didn't do anything to threaten him, everything would be fine.

Qiu Guangri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed.

At this time, Lin Yun looked out the door and waved: "Commander Zheng, come in!"

Zheng Li was filled with joy and walked in with expectation, bowing to Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri.

"As a humble position, please see the young master, Mr. Fu Yin!"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile and said: "You should have heard it just now! You performed very well this time and made a great contribution by protecting my master's two hundred thousand grains! Therefore, I discussed it with Mr. Fu Yin and decided I’m going to promote you out of the ordinary!”

Zheng Li had great hope, and he knelt on the ground with a bang and said: "Thank you, Master Fu, for promoting me. I will do my best in this humble position! I will never let down Master's expectations!"

Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction and then looked at Qiu Guangri.

Although Qiu Guangri was deeply reluctant, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

"Zheng Li, I have checked your information before! You were once the head of the Longwei Escort Bureau in Haocheng, and you fell into the trap because you lost your dart! Although you later took refuge with Mr. Lin, strictly speaking, no matter you No matter how good you are, you are not qualified to enter the official career! But out of favor of Mr. Lin, I will promote you as an exception!"

"Thank you, sir!!"

Zheng Li immediately thanked him.

Qiu Guangri also had his own selfish motives when he said this. Didn't you, Lin Yun, arrange for someone to monitor me?

Then you must be prepared to be incited to rebel.

Lin Yun naturally heard the deep meaning of these words, but he was not worried. If he was not completely sure, he would not let Zheng Li take the position. After more than a year of testing, Zheng Li's loyalty is definitely no problem.

Especially in the Fengdu Camp just now, Zheng Li was still able to choose to fulfill his duties loyally when faced with life and death, which made Lin Yun very satisfied.

Qiu Guangri said in a deep voice: "Okay, then from today on, you will be the commander-in-chief of my Yucheng Mansion!"

Zheng Li's eyes lit up and he thanked him: "Thank you so much, sir!! I wonder what rank this captain is?"

Qiu Guangri pondered for a moment and said, "He is a sixth-rank official!"

He just deliberately disgusted Lin Yun.

Although Lin Yun only held a temporary position, he was only a sixth-grade Yuanwai Lang in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But he made Zheng Li the commander-in-chief of the sixth rank.

Although it is only half a level higher, the gap is still not small.

Lin Yun naturally knew it, but he didn't care about these trivial matters.

He couldn't push Qiu Guangri too hard. Only by giving him some space to vent would he be able to relax.

Zheng Li glanced at Lin Yun awkwardly. He was satisfied with this official position, but this official position made him very embarrassed.

At this time, Oona said displeasedly: "Zheng Lili, do you really dare to ask for this position?"

Lin Yun suddenly became displeased and shouted: "Oona, shut up!!"

Oona snorted coldly and turned her head to look away.

Qiu Guangri was the only one with a sinister smile on his face. This was the effect he wanted, to sow discord among those around Lin Yun.

Lin Yun looked at Zheng Lili, his face softened a little, and he smiled and said: "Commander Zheng, don't worry, the official position may be big or small, but the responsibility is the most important! You must understand that the commander-in-chief of Yucheng Prefecture has to bear the responsibilities of Lord Fu Yin. It’s safe, if anything happens to Mr. Fu Yin, I won’t let you go!”

Although Zheng Li could understand the meaning of his words, he still didn't quite understand the deep meaning, so he could only bow down and accept his orders.

But Qiu Guangri knew it all and his smile froze.

Lin Yun was clearly threatening his life.

However, he could only endure it.

He and Lin Yun had been fighting openly and secretly for more than a day or two. He knew that it was reminding him to always remember his situation.

Qiu Guangri could only cough lightly, covering up his embarrassment, and said: "Commander Zheng, you should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register and report now!"

Zheng Li nodded and saluted Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri before leaving happily.

He walked out of the inner hall and immediately relaxed, with a smile on his lips.

I had followed Lin Yun for more than a year, and finally got my reward.

However, he also understood that this was just the beginning of his official career. As long as he served Lin Yun well, there would be more generous rewards waiting for him.

Zheng Li was also able to carry it clearly.

At this time, Ma Ji came towards him and happened to bump into him.

Zheng Li grabbed him and said with a smile: "Where are you going, Mr. Ma?"

"Where to go? Of course, to meet the young master and Mr. Fu Yin!"

"Hey, don't go yet! The young master just discussed with Mr. Fu Yin to make me the captain of the Yucheng Mansion, and asked me to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register and report now!"

Zheng Li looked excited.

When Ma Ji heard the news, he was shocked.
