"The list of the guards are all here. Take a look and see which are fooling us and waiting to be fed by us Ling Family, then directly kick them out." Fu Caiwei handed over the register to Ling Zhang and said seriously.

Ling Zhang took the register, and opened it to look. He first listed the names of the guards who had been found with problems these days, and checked their locations and rough backgrounds one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, he said to Fu Caiwei: "Second Aunt, these people can all be directly dismissed."

The people who were circled took 20% of the list, while the Ling Residence only had 30 people. Twenty percent circled, that was six people getting fired.

"These people only do superficial stuff and eat too much." Ling Zhang explained the problems of these people to Fu Caiwei.

Fu Caiwei nodded his head: "People like them really cannot stay in the palace anymore. If not for you going to the palace to observe, they might still plan to stay in the Ling Family and darn laze away their time. That is ridiculous."

"Second Aunt, don't let your mood ruined. Actually, not just us, the other families would also have similar problems. The situation in the Tan Yang is special, so most of these guards can only have a deterrent effect, that can guard against rascals and the like; to guard against bandits, that's impossible. All these people are very clear on the situation, that's why they dare to only put in a superficial effort. They are sure that the owner will not let them confront the bandits. " Ling Zhang said.

Fu Caiwei was very angry when she heard this, but she had managed the Ling Family for many years, so it was not uncommon for her to see servants like this. Very quickly, she calmed down, "Other than these people, is there anyone else?"

"Yes." Ling Zhang nodded, then hooked three more people, "Although these three people are not superficial, they are not self-restraint and they owe all kinds of debts, such as gambling. They are easy to be held, and can't continue to stay in the guard team."

Fu Caiwei handed the matter over to Ling Zhang, and had no objections to Ling Zhang's punishments, "Excluding the nine of them, only twenty-one people remain."

"These twenty-one people are not guaranteed to stay behind either. They will have to undergo a period of observation." Ling Zhang said.

Fu Caiwei did not understand, "You still want to continue?"

Ling Zhang nodded his head: "Second Aunt, I want to train the guards so that they will have the ability to fight when they meet a group of bandits."

Fu Caiwei was surprised: "You want to let these guards fight against bandits?"

"Just in case." Ling Zhang replied.

"Are you going to do something dangerous?" Compared to other things, Fu Caiwei was first worried that Ling Zhang would do something dangerous, so she was a little disapproving on the surface.

"Second Aunt, it's not that I want to do something dangerous, it's that Ling Family is very dangerous right now. We have sinned against the Jia family, and have also sinned against the State Guard Commander Zhang Chong; all of these people are not righteous men, so in order to eliminate their opponents, they will use all kinds of schemes and tricks. Our family is now a thorn in their side, to deal with us, who knows what kind of sinister methods they will use. To train the guards, is also to provide additional security for the Ling Family. Bandits, one day we might actually meet. " Ling Zhang said.

Recently, there had been a lot of activity at home. Fu Caiwei was very clear about what her husband, her father-in-law, and her nephew were about to do, and knew that Ling Zhang was not scaremongering.

"But how will you train them? With so few people, how can we train them to have the strength to fight a group of bandits head-on? " Fu Caiwei asked.

Ling Zhang replied: "I want to coordinate with some formations."

"Formation?" Fu Caiwei was confused, "What kind of formation? Where did you learn that?"

You couldn't blame Fu Caiwei for asking such a detailed question. It was because Ling Zhang was about the same as her own child, so she would always worry about this and that.
