Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 964 924: Difficulties in New City Construction

Lin Yi strenuously compelled himself to remain calm, mentally repeating, "I personally chose this, I personally chose this," and only with that did he manage to quell the urge to confront the man directly.

Truly, it was akin to mocking a tonsured monk to his face, you absolute buffoon. I myself promoted you, and instead of showing gratitude, you spew insults, calling me insane. You are practically begging for a thrashing.

Were it not for this fellow's inherent loyalty and straightforward nature, Lin Yi might have simply expelled him and administered a few lashes.

Beyond that, Lin Yi began to covertly anticipate an event at this very juncture.

He genuinely desired to witness the look on this simpleton's face when the revelation struck: that the author of this decree was none other than himself.

Would it shock him so profoundly that he'd bellow in alarm?

It's truly difficult to ascertain.

Naturally, an alternative scenario exists: when this fellow discovers the decree was penned by me, will he launch into another tirade of curses?

After all, this imbecile is capable of any unpredictable act.

Regardless, for the present, let us divert our attention from that particular matter and consider the assembly of individuals surrounding us.

Observing the foolish Lao Liu on the field, every onlooker felt a strong impulse to rush forward and deliver a few kicks.

Nobody could fathom the extent of this man's good fortune; he had actually received a promotion, elevating him to a position of authority over them.

While a sense of indignation simmered within them, none harbored any malicious intent, nor did they entertain the notion of ousting him to seize his position.

Conversely, despite a degree of apprehension, they also felt considerable relief, as the commander of the Border Army remained steadfastly one of their own, and that was sufficient.

Should an entirely new commander be appointed, their organization would undoubtedly undergo transformation, or the distinction of their established army might cease to exist.

As the adage goes, a new ruler ushers in new officials, and although the Border Army Camp is but a minor military contingent, the underlying principle mirrors that of higher echelons.

Upon a new commander's assumption of command, they would inevitably implement their distinct methodologies, implying that if an outsider were indeed to replace them, it's highly probable that all present within the Border Army Camp, who identified as 'them,' would be summarily dispersed.

In such an event, they would be reduced to mere neophytes, devoid of any agency.

This was a predicament they wished to avoid at all costs, and it was certainly not something Leng Yu desired either.

To be candid, prior to the reception of this decree, Leng Yu had harbored concerns that should he be reassigned, and a new commander installed, the local populace and soldiery would endure hardships beyond imagination.

In that scenario, the lifelong endeavors of his father would likely crumble to dust.

Furthermore, the most critical consideration remains: Young Master Lin intends to establish a city in the vicinity. If he were to be transferred and supplanted by a new commander, would the city's construction proceed without a hitch?

Evidently, that is an impossibility.

And with this decree, not only was his reassignment formalized, but Lao Liu was also designated to assume the role of commander of the Border Army Camp.

Even though this individual is typically of a simple disposition, Leng Yu was acutely aware of his unwavering loyalty and his profound sense of belonging to the entirety of the Border Army Camp.

Consequently, at the very least, the moniker of the Border Army Camp would persevere, and the soldiers and their families within the camp would be spared any mistreatment.

For this reason, despite his impending transfer to the Capital City, his heart felt a measure of peace, and crucially, the city that Young Master Lin envisions constructing under Lao Liu's guardianship should proceed with greater ease.

Moreover, he had reached a realization: upon assuming the mantle of Grand General of Dayou, he would wield significant military authority. With such power, the restructuring and reorganization of the Border Army Camp would be considerably streamlined, and the transfer of capable soldiers would also be a straightforward undertaking.

"Very well, cease your gloating over this fortunate turn of events and prepare yourself diligently. I am confident that reinforcements will arrive not long from now. You will be kept exceptionally busy then; do not exhibit incompetence in managing them, lest you bring disgrace not only upon yourself but upon all of us," Lin Yi declared.

Upon hearing these words, Lao Liu paused, then became engrossed in contemplation, quickly grasping the underlying logic of the situation, and wholeheartedly assented to Lin Yi's admonition.

If he failed in his stewardship of the Border Army Camp, he would bring shame not only upon himself but also upon Leng Yu, Lin Yi, and all the former commanders of the Border Army.

Indeed, it was not solely Lin Yi and Leng Yu who wished to avert such an outcome; all the surrounding veteran commanders also longed to see Lao Liu succeed and avoid embarrassment.
