Chapter 27 [Count the harvest and make a fortune]
Author: Tianjibai
"Reporting to Senior Brother Lin, we have already cleared the battlefield."
"More than 8,000 of the entire army were not killed, but more than 200 were injured. More than 300 bandits were captured. There were five bandits in total, four of them died, and only one bandit leader named Hunyuan Thunderbolt King was left."
"According to our interrogation, the matter is as you guessed before. The other party is a thief with little knowledge. Due to some chance, he acquired the "Tiger Mighty Sword", a low-level martial arts that is widely circulated in the world."
"After I accomplished my studies, I became a bandit together with my brothers, and have been in exile and plundering all the way to this day."
"Because my martial arts skills are weak and my knowledge is shallow, I dare to set up a stronghold nearby to rob the people."
Xia Da took the account book he had kept and reported the number of casualties and some interrogation results to Lin Lin.
Hearing this, Lin Lin was not surprised by this result.
Through previous intelligence analysis and observations over the past period of time, Lin Lin had already seen clearly the details of this group of bandits.
What Xia Da reported at this moment is just a confirmation.
As for battle losses, in the previous battles, the situation was completely dominated by more enemies and fewer enemies.
Lin Lin acted as a firefighter. Wherever the bandits were too ferocious, he would ruthlessly suppress them without any chance of succeeding.
To be honest, Lin Lin was surprised that more than 200 people were injured in this situation.
After talking about matters related to casualties and battles, the next step is the seizure of trophies.
"A total of 1,500 sets of armor and weapons were obtained. However, these armors and weapons were slightly damaged in the previous battle and needed to be repaired. In addition, 500 complete sets of armor and weapons were found from the warehouse, as well as gold, silver and jewelry.
One box is worth about 2,700 taels of silver."
"Besides that, there is meat, rice, grain, wine, water and livestock, which totals more than 3,200 taels of silver at the current price."
"We have discussed it before. Today's gain is all due to Senior Brother Lin's incredible skills in leading us to wipe out the enemy invaders. I hope you will accept this property, and I will give you a big gift when I return to my hometown. It is our consideration."
Xia Da said that he would give all the loot to Lin Lin, and the other clan leaders did not object and expressed their agreement.
"Master Lin eliminates harm for the people and deserves this reward."
"After today, I will definitely write a book and erect a monument here to record Mr. Lin's achievements."
"Everyone is very grateful to Mr. Lin. If I didn't want to disturb your rest, I would have come over to thank you in person right now."
Suddenly, there was a flood of flattery.
For them, getting rid of this group of bandits and not being threatened is the biggest benefit of this operation.
If they make friends with Lin Lin, a young hero with outstanding martial arts skills and outstanding strategies, then they will have a backer in the future.
Naturally, everyone can figure out how to act.
Lin Lin felt a little benefited from these compliments.
Compared to the false admiration of his fellow disciples due to an epiphany during the morning martial arts performance, the compliments and admiration of these clan elders at this moment are much more sincere.
After all, they had just received Lin Lin's favor.
Although it felt very comfortable to be complimented by handsome boys one after another, Lin Lin was not so swollen that she didn't know why.
He took the account book and counted the belongings against each other, and found that the amounts were roughly consistent.
"Although these armors and weapons are of average quality and most of them are damaged, the total of two thousand sets is worth twenty-two thousand taels of silver. Taking into account these gold and silver materials, the value of all the trophies is twenty-eight thousand taels.
One thousand taels of silver."
"But in today's troubled times, armor, weapons and food are all hard currencies. These materials are very easy to sell at a premium of thirty thousand taels of silver."
"I've made a lot of money this time. It's not in vain that I've been working hard for so long."
Lin Lin opened the account book and calculated his gains in his heart, feeling a little happy.
According to the normal elite disciple promotion task process, when he discovered the coordinates of this cottage, he had completed the task.
Next, you can go back to the sect to submit and complete the task. Then the sect will naturally send experts to solve this copycat.
The reason why he did not run away directly back to the sect was to invite the masters and elders of the sect to come here to destroy this wave of bandits.
Instead, he worked hard to gather his men and take the lead in attacking this mountain stronghold. Isn't it just for the harvest at this moment?
With this fund, he can then contribute to his martial arts practice and purchase a lot of practice resources.
"Then the sheep will be killed and cooked to reward many soldiers."
"These supplies can be considered as gifts from me to you."
Lin Lin closed the account book and spoke with a smile.
When they were cleaning the battlefield to collect trophies, the country warriors found some money from the bandits. These were the trophies of the country warriors who participated in the battle. Lin Lin did not need to spend extra money to reward these country warriors who had fought bravely before.
.
However, after making so much money, it is appropriate to treat everyone to a meal.
"Master Lin is generous with his righteousness and wealth, has outstanding martial arts skills, and eliminates harm for the people. He is truly a man of God."
Suddenly, another wave of flattery came.
Next, the whole village became lively, a lot of rice, grains, dried meat and drinks were carried out, and some livestock were slaughtered on the spot.
A group of people started cooking enthusiastically, and the aroma soon spread over the entire village.
While waiting for the banquet to begin, Xia Da asked another question: "Senior Brother Lin, how should we deal with those bandits and bandits?"
According to the true intentions of the residents around Huiping Town, it is of course best to kill all these bandits directly.
But this time, Lin Lin was able to put down this stronghold. He was the one with the power to make the decision. Naturally, it was difficult for everyone to deal with these prisoners at will.
"Kill the leader of the thieves. The rest will starve first. When they are hungry, they will be tattooed and sold into slavery."
"I remember that there were many mines nearby that were short of labor, so I sold all these bandits there. They are all young and strong. They should be able to sell them at a good price, and they will also be a source of income."
"The hard work in the mines, plus the fact that they are guarded by experts, means they can only spend the rest of their lives there."
"Didn't a lot of people suffer from this banditry disaster? I don't want the money from selling the bandits. I can use the money from selling the bandits to help them resettle, start a business, and live a good life."
Lin Lin drank boiled goat's milk to replenish the water and nutrients that his body had lost during the previous high-intensity battle.
Speaking at will determines the fate of these bandits.
These people commit crimes by burning, killing, looting, and can be said to be a typical example of wasting air while living and wasting land when dead. It would be better to squeeze out the remaining value first and it would be a small apology.
Hearing this, the heads and elders who accompanied Lin Lin felt their eyes light up.
Yes, rather than killing these thieves directly, it is more beneficial to sell them to the mine. The money obtained can also slightly subsidize the families who suffered losses in this man-made disaster.
It can be said to be a method that offers the best of both worlds!
