Looking at the ten captains with different heights, fat and thinness in the tent, Zhou Xian waved his hand and signaled them to sit down. "You are all older than me, and it is very hard to control the local heroes. Zhou just came here and was not familiar with the place. I hope you can support you more in the future. There are twenty taels of silver here, not much, just to think it is a little reward for you."

Zhou Xian said and turned to Lee Kai and said, "Lee Kai, please send it to you!"

The silver had been broken in advance, no more than no more, and each was exactly two taels. Li Kai walked along the way and handed each to everyone. These village heroes were born in poverty and rarely saw a whole piece of silver. You should know that when Qi Jiguang recruited the Qi family army, the annual salary of one person was only ten taels of silver. However, these village heroes were not supplied by the court, and their monthly salary was even smaller, with only five cents of silver per month. Two taels of silver was basically equal to their four months' salary.

They held the silver in their hands and were full of laughter. The first thing they felt was that it was a little good to be the captain.

Seeing his subordinates smiling, Zhang Yuan whispered, "Did you all be jealous of money? Why don't you thank the second young master for the reward?"

Zhang Yuan saw that Zhou Xian was young, but was obviously more generous than Zhou Zhen. As soon as he came here, he took the initiative to give him twenty taels of silver. How proud is this! In addition to Lin Bao still looking a little difficult to deal with, he welcomed Zhou Xian here.

Everyone hurriedly bowed to Zhou Xian and shouted unevenly: "Thank you, the second young master!"

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, thank Master Zhang. It was him who told me that although you are the captains, your salary has always been the same as that of ordinary local heroes. I feel unfair for you, so I bring this little silver to you. Although it is not much, please rest assured that as long as you follow me well in the future, I will never treat you badly."

"Abide by the orders of the second young master." The local heroes shouted a lot this time.

Zhang Yuan's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself that this little guy would not use this to win people's hearts! He hurriedly said, "Look, how kind the second young master is to you. In the future, his words will be mine in the army. If anyone among you dares not listen, I will not forgive him."

Zhang Yuan pointed out the relationship between the host and the guest. On the one hand, he reminded Zhou Xian that he was the real master in the village group; on the other hand, he also warned everyone in the account not to easily stand in the wrong team.

Zhou Xian had a usual smile on his face and turned a blind eye to Zhang Yuan's tricks. He said with gratitude in his tone: "Master Zhang is really speaking out. With your support, I will definitely be much smoother in the village sect."

Zhou Xian looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile, and said, "Master Zhang, I came to take on this important task for my elder brother this time, and I was very frightened. But since I came, I want to put some of my previous shallow ideas into practice, and I hope Master Zhang can fully support it in the future."

After saying that, Zhou Xian quietly approached Zhang Yuan and whispered: "As for the aftermath, whether it succeeds or not, Zhou will thank Master Zhang again."

Zhang Yuan smiled knowingly and waved his hand quickly, "Young Master, you are polite, Zhang Yuan will do everything."

Zhou Xian nodded and turned to the middle-aged man in his forties sitting at the last place, who was about forty and full of vicissitudes of life, and said, "Captain Han Feng, it's still early to eat at night. Can you and your team of people temporarily take care of the city wall?"

Han Feng is the chef of the Township Yong Group, and his team is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all Township Yongs.

Han Feng didn't expect that Zhou Xian suddenly called him, and after responding, he realized that Zhou Xian asked him to guard the city wall. His face changed slightly, and he touched his head awkwardly and said, "Second Young Master, my team of people have no weapons, they all have spatulas, big sticks, etc. How can they defend the city?"

"What's the matter? When the bandits came, Brother Han shoveled out a bunch of them with a spatula and killed a few with a big stick. It would ensure that the bandits were so scared that they wouldn't even dare to get close to the city."

Han's cover was red and a thunderous ear hit the man's head and said, "Oh, you Maozi, how dare you laugh at me like this. There is no more meal for tonight."

The man who was called Wang Maozi was not afraid at all. He smiled and said, "If you don't have a share, you won't have a share. At worst, you can go to your brother Han to find lice to eat. It's guaranteed to be fat and big."

Listening to their jokes, even Zhou Xian couldn't help laughing. He looked at Han Feng's clothes and probably understood what Wang Maozi said. He had been wearing a shabby short jacket for many years, and balls of ragged cloth hung on it, which was not much better than beggars. Moreover, he scratched it one or two times from time to time. Even Zhou Xian didn't believe it if he had no lice on his body.

When the laughter stopped, Zhou Xian looked at Han Feng and said, "Captain Han, there is no need to use any weapons. You only need to look outside the city with your team of townsmen. Once there is any movement, please inform us immediately. Everyone is in the schoolyard not far from the city, and there is enough time to get there."

Han Feng hesitated for a moment and finally said to Zhou Xian: "Since this is the case, my subordinates are willing to lead the team to the countryside to go."

Seeing Han Feng agreeing, Zhou Xian turned to the others and said, "You go back now and gather all the local heroes under your team. Within half an hour, take them all to the school grounds. I have something to give."

Everyone responded and walked out.

Zhou Xian left Zhang Yuan alone and told him about his preparations to transport grain from outside the city to the city. Zhang Yuan did not agree at first, but heard that Zhou Xian was willing to provide all the principal and give him three parts of the profits. When he only took the risk of leaving the city, all the problems were no longer a problem.

Zhou Xian asked Zhang Yuan to go out of the city to collect food immediately when he saw Zhou Xian's previous order. He knew that he might be designing himself, but the temptation of 30% of the profit was too great. After a few days, it might be hundreds of taels of silver. He thought to himself, I don't believe what you can do in a few days. When I have earned enough money, I will do some rectification. He bowed to Zhou Xian and agreed to leave the city immediately.

Lin Bao looked at the gradually closed city gate, smiled faintly, and said to Zhou Xian: "The troubled person has finally left, and it will be much more convenient to do things next."

"Master, let's go! Let's go and see our hometown hero." Zhou Xian was full of excitement and pressed our three words very heavily.

The three hundred townspeople, except for the 30 people under Han Feng's team, more than a dozen townspeople who guarded the city, and a few followers who were taken out of the city by Zhang Yuan, all the remaining 240 people were present. They didn't know why Zhou Xian gathered them? They only knew that a generous young man came, and whether they could get the silver reward was the only place they cared about.

All the township heroes stood in the school grounds with a tilted slanting sound, and could hear the noise from a distance. They slowly calmed down when they saw Zhou Xian and Lin Bao arrive.

Zhou Xian stood on the high platform and showed a message to Li Kai. The latter led several township heroes to the west suburbs, placed five targets on the edge of the city, and drew a straight line eighty steps away from the target. There was a red-center circle the size of a fist in the middle of the target, but at this moment, only a very small dot was seen.

Zhongxiangyong looked at Zhou Xian with confusion, his eyes full of confusion. Lin Bao moved a square table from the tent and threw a package on the table. With a clamor, everyone saw that it was white silver from the exposed bag.

Zhou Xian whispered loudly toward the bottom: "This is fifty taels of silver, but there are three hundred village heroes. If it goes on average, each person can get more than one ounce of silver. I don't want to distribute it evenly with rain and dew. Now I tell you, how do I share it? The capable ones will win, and the weak will not."

Li Kai asked, "How can the second young master distinguish between the strong and the weak?"

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Did you see those targets? In my opinion, those with high archery skills are the strong, and those with low archery skills are the weak. I will give each of you ten arrows. As long as you shoot the red heart, you will reward one ounce of silver with one arrow. Those who hit all ten arrows will receive one liang; those who win six arrows or more will have their monthly salary in the future."

After Zhou Xian finished speaking, everyone took a breath. Eighty steps, it was not easy to hit the target at such a distance, let alone hit the center of the circle. Someone began to murmur, "This is not about rewarding us at all, but about us playing as monkeys?"

Zhou Xian ignored their sour words and took the bow and arrow from Lin Bao. He walked straight to the straight line, stood with a step, pulled the string and shot, and shot three arrows in an instant.

Li Kai retrieved the target from a distance and showed it to everyone, saying in a deep voice: "The three arrows are all in the center of the circle."
