The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 65 How to Clean the House

Kronos wrote a series of numbers on a piece of paper.

Gaviling looked at these numbers, somewhat puzzled, but Abes immediately understood their meaning.

"Is this... a value for the various properties in the camp?"

"It's an estimate," the silver-haired girl raised her head, her blue eyes full of pride, "Although nearly one-third of the camp was destroyed by looting, it can be calculated based on other places that are still well preserved."

Simple math.

After all, in the camp, almost all supplies are divided into only two categories.

One type was loaded into horse-drawn wagons, probably the type ready to be shipped out at any time.

The two carriages that Abes and his companions took away for the first time were of this type.

The other type is stored in partitions according to different types.

"In addition to supplies, there are also basic rations for each soldier. We can find out by investigating a few tents. Their tents can be disassembled into pieces of cloth that are several feet long. We can also find out how many beds, blankets, kettles, and potions each person is equipped with..."

Apart from the two big items of supplies and soldiers' rations, Kronos also estimated the amount of the lizardmen's personal belongings based on the number of tents they should have.

"It is indeed a good move to return all the seized goods to the public."

"But for all measures, if we want them to take the initiative and implement them seriously, there should be a standard first."

"A precise number, or at least one that looks precise, can give people a sense of rigor."

"Just like measuring liquids requires a measuring cup, and measuring grains requires a measuring bucket, it may not be accurate, but it must exist."

"But this is just the first step."

Then, Kronos slightly increased all these data.

"And this is the data we want to publicize. When we collect the seized goods in the afternoon and turn them over to the public, and encourage anonymous internal reports, we can announce a slogan like [If this goal is achieved, there will be no comprehensive inspection and cleanup operations at night]."

It was not until this moment that Jiawei Ling beside him suddenly realized.

Human nature is always compromising. If you ask people to report each other, no one wants to offend others, nor does anyone want to be offended by others, so they may not be interested in reporting.

But if you tell them that if they don't meet the standards, there will be a thorough cleanup, they will decisively report the rest.

In their minds, the sooner they reach that goal, the safer their portion will be.

Abes also laughed softly. The situation was urgent, so it would be better for me to die than for my friend to die.

However, the data that had been precisely calculated by Kronos and then slightly increased was impossible to achieve.

However, people will never discover these problems.

After all, no matter how you report it, there will always be someone who is meticulous and flawless, or who will cover up for each other.

Therefore, a comprehensive inspection is a necessary action.

The only difference is early or late.

This action will also make it easier for Abes to conduct a comprehensive inspection later.

"And at that time, Lord Abes can legitimately carry out a comprehensive inspection and cleanup. This will be less likely to arouse people's rebellion than directly saying that you will clean up."

Abes nodded in understanding. "In order to facilitate the inspection and cleanup at night, we will set up a report later this afternoon. I have to ask you, Jiaweiling, to take care of everyone on my behalf in the afternoon."

"Take a good look and see who are the people who are still determined not to hand it over."

"We must clean this new house!"

After receiving the order, Jiaweiling bowed his head deeply, his face glowing.

After Kronos, is it finally his turn to carry out the orders given by Lord Abes?

The honor and excitement made him clench his fists.

I will definitely not let Lord Abes down.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and many people still expressed an unacceptable attitude towards Abes's proposal to return the seized goods to the public.

When it comes to the reward and punishment system, many people are not interested.

After all, right after saying that all captured items would be turned over to the public, they proposed a reward and punishment system. I'm afraid the punishment will come faster than the reward.

Abes even heard a few people say, "What rewards and punishments? They are just trying to take money from us in a roundabout way."

But when Abes said that the salary would be set, everyone became excited again.

Abes did not adopt what Gavilin said and set the salary at the same level as the subsidy received by the military personnel of the small kingdom of Womuza, but instead made a significant increase.

After all, even though the subsidies have been received, the soldiers' ruffian style is still prevalent. Does this mean that the money is a little too little?

"Many people said, with so much money being given out, are we still volunteers?"

"But in my opinion, it's just the opposite. We are the volunteers because we can ensure that the people who participate in our actions have enough food and clothing, and also receive wages comparable to those of skilled workers."

"We can ensure that everyone in the logistics team who helps us fight also gets rewards that match their efforts, so we are the righteous army."

"We are able to reward and punish according to the rules, rather than using our power to ride on the necks of others. That's why we are the righteous army."

"Because we have done these, we are the team that makes justice a reality!"

After Abes finished his speech, the whole crowd became excited again.

With the news of salary payment and Abes, a brave man who lived thousands of years ago, personally coming forward to guarantee and emphasizing that public supplies would not become someone's private money, many people felt much more relieved.

Coupled with the reporting system and Kronos' cleverly calculated plan, in the afternoon, many people who were looting at the time also voluntarily handed over their belongings.

Some not only handed the stolen goods over, but also immediately reported others.

There are also people who think they can remain calm, but are reported by others, so they retaliate by reporting other people.

At the same time, Gaviling was wandering in the camp with a few scout team members who had good eyesight, were smart, and were absolutely loyal to Abes's orders.

They observed, investigated, asked questions as if nothing had happened, or compared their statements with those of their fellow countrymen, relatives and friends to see if there were any differences. They also quietly targeted a group of people.

In addition, for those objects that are really unclear, Gaviling also set up some small tests.

"A test of trust, to test the moral character of those people. You, take these things; you, do as I say."

By having the suspected target witness two soldiers transporting supplies collide with each other, fall down, and then drop several treasures that are obviously very valuable.

By observing their reactions, you can more or less know the person's moral level.

After all, everyone was very enthusiastic about handing in their seizures throughout the afternoon, and it can be said that the moral level was also rising.

If the person really has a clear conscience, he will immediately pick it up and hand it over, and then find and inform the security team or scout team.

If someone is turning in the stolen goods, they will usually turn it in together with their own belongings, or go again. Otherwise, if they have turned it in but it is discovered at night, they will suffer a great loss.

But if someone is in a low spirit and is anxious, and sees the jewelry and is ready to take it away or hide it somewhere, then there is a big problem.

For such a target, Jiaweiling chose to send someone to follow and follow.

They returned quietly only after they found out where they were digging holes to bury the objects or throwing them into the stream.

And time soon came to evening.

As expected, there is still a long way to go before reaching the goal.

Everyone in the crowd had different expressions.

Some people didn’t take it at the beginning, and now they are full of pride and don’t care;

Some people have already handed it in, or have been reported and so handed it in. It's a selfless act and a relief.

Some people's expressions are complicated enough to be included in film school textbooks.

There are the "Warriors of the North" who handed in nothing, the "smart guys" who handed in part of their loot, the "lucky ones" who didn't hand in all their loot after being reported, or the "frozen diggers" who hid part of their loot.

In their hearts, they are probably either cursing why others don't pay more attention, or thinking that Abes would never dare to conduct a thorough investigation on a large scale, or sighing at their own clever move of hiding.

However, in the eyes of Abes, who already knew what was going on, he could basically read all their expressions accurately.

"Are we going to start?" asked Gaviling.

"Let me say a few words first..."

Abes strode forward. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to take up arms against the hundreds of people he had accumulated with great difficulty.
