Section 26: Selling Fame and Reputation
"Once the locusts enter Kyrgyzstan, we will go to the disaster area to exterminate the locusts with the people!"
As soon as Cai Ji's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone present. I saw Tai Shi Ci standing up for the first time to oppose Xiao Cai Fujun, this matter must not be! If a civil uprising accidentally breaks out and Xiao Cai Fujun is in danger, how can it be good. ”
"yes. Xiao Cai's daughter's body must not be taken lightly. Duan Kui followed and said. At present, Duan Kui has already regarded Cai Ji as a military advisor, and naturally he doesn't want to see this prodigy with ghost talents injured by ignorant fools.
In fact, not only Duan Kui was worried about Cai Ji's safety, but Guan Tong also didn't want the puppet he had just recommended to Yuan Shao to be in trouble. So he immediately put aside the contradiction with Duan Kui, nodded and agreed, General Taishi and Duan Lao were reasonable. The matter of exterminating locusts should be entrusted to the county magistrates. What's more, General Taishi led his troops to sit in the hardest-hit counties. Xiao Cai Fujun should stay in Huang County. ”
"Please also ask Xiao Cai Fujun to think twice." Huang Zhen followed behind.
Cai Ji saw that everyone present persuaded him to stay, and on the one hand, he was pleased that this prince finally had some weight in the hearts of everyone, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing to be taken too seriously. Don't look at Cai Ji just now, he provided a method to exterminate locusts, and he also allocated disaster relief training, and he also proposed to work for relief. It was as if he wanted to take out the dry goods in his stomach and achieve the exploits of Duan Kui and others. However, Cai Ji, who has experienced many disaster relief activities in his previous life, knows that the most eye-catching people in the disaster relief process are not the officers and soldiers who are fighting on the front line, not the civil servants who coordinate behind the scenes, nor the rich people who donate money in front of the stage, but the officials who inspect the scene with umbrellas. No, Cai Ji just wanted to act as a parent officer in the disaster area at this moment!
It is important to know that ordinary people are sometimes very simple. Especially in times of great calamity, the human psyche is particularly fragile. In this case, people will only remember the people who are around them, and they will not care about the people who are behind the scenes to make plans for disaster relief or those who donate large sums of money in the rear. Therefore, if nothing else, as long as Cai Ji shows up in various disaster areas at the right time, he can easily take the merits of Duan Kui and others, and use this to make a name and buy the hearts of the people. To be famous and popular these are the two things that Cai Ji lacks the most at present. At the same time, it is also the foundation for her future development in Donglai. After all, Cai Ji is not from a family like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, nor is he backed by the talented Cao family and the Xiahou family. All she can rely on now is a pair of hands, as well as people such as Tai Shici, Zhang Qing, Li Da, Lily of the Valley, and even Duan Kui Guan Tong who trust her abilities. Therefore, if Cai Ji wants to make a name for herself in the late Han Dynasty, she must start from the hearts of the people. In this regard, Cai Ji and Liu Bei of Xuzhou are quite similar. You can say that they are selling their reputation, but you have to admit that selling their reputation is also a way to survive in troubled times. What's more, while they are selling their fame, they have indeed saved the lives of many people.
Therefore, even in the face of everyone's strong opposition, Cai Ji at this moment still has to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance to defend the intentions of the Dao monarchs, and Ji understands it here. However, this time, the heavens have fallen on the disaster, and the monarchs have the strength to contribute, and they have the money to contribute. Ji keeps saying that he wants to work together with all the kings, how can he hide in the deep mansion when he is about to come? Ji Zifu Wen has no talent in charge of the county and Huang Gongcao, and he doesn't know how to persuade the superintendent of Nongsang; Wu has the merits of General Taishi, and he will not lead the troops to rescue the disaster; The wealth is not as rich as Duan Lao's, and he is unable to help the hungry. Ji has just a sincere heart, and hopes to inspire the people with this sincerity. Therefore, Ji hereby implores all the gentlemen to fulfill this sincere heart of Ji. ”
After saying that, Cai Ji made a deep sigh in front of a group of people. The direct general Tai Shici was so moved that he got up and helped him, and Xiao Cai Fujun was relieved. Ciding Bao Ru is thorough! ”
Seeing this, the management commander on the side also sighed with emotion, Xiao Cai Fujun is sincere, I can't wait. ”
And although Duan Kui was a little skeptical about Cai Ji's purpose, he couldn't figure out for a moment what the girl was selling in the gourd. After all, if it was changed to Duan Kui, it would be too late to hide in the face of such a dangerous errand. How could they kowtow and beg to go to such a dangerous place. However, since Tai Shi Ci has come forward to promise to protect Cai Ji. Duan Kui had no choice but to sigh and tell Cai Ji to cough up. If the locusts really attack, Xiao Cai Fujun will have to pay attention to safety. ”
Seeing that everyone finally agreed to go to the disaster area, Cai Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this puppet was really a tiring errand. However, after exhaustion, she still had to have an in-depth discussion with Guan Tong and others on the details of disaster relief and disaster relief matters with great ambition. As a result, it was not until the day that the four of them, Duan Kui, Huang Zhen, and Tai Shici, returned home with a meeting full of noisy disaster relief plans.
Since the people of the Han Dynasty had two meals, they ate breakfast at eight or nine o'clock; Dinner at four or five o'clock. Therefore, when Cai Ji returned to the backyard of Taishou Mansion, the enticing smell of rice wafted from the courtyard. I saw Lily of the Valley with a copper basin fluttering to salute, "Xiaofujun's meal is ready." Let's wash your face first. ”
"Good work." Cai Ji bowed slightly to Lily of the Valley, took the face towel, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and asked, "Is it soup cake today?" No Fiction Network Lots of Words"
Seeing that Cai Ji had guessed the dinner at once, Lily of the Valley quickly nodded happily and said, "Xiaofujun's nose is so powerful." It's not just soup cakes. ”
Cai Ji thought to himself that in addition to setting up banquets this year, Taishou Mansion was either dough cake or noodle soup on weekdays. At this moment, there was a smell of noodle soup in the air, and she naturally guessed that it was soup cakes. However, Cai Ji thought about it, and now is an extraordinary period when the locust plague is raging, and it is not good to eat noodle soup at home as a Taishou. So she told Lily of the Valley that she was thrifty, and today there are locusts everywhere, and I, as a Taishou, should be diligent and thrifty by example. So from the beginning of my diet from a simple one. ”
In fact, Cai Ji's current diet is already shabby compared to some large families. But now she still says that she wants to be simple. This made Lily of the Valley realize that the soup cake could not be made in the future. Lily of the valley, who was born in the county government, of course, understood that Cai Ji was virtuous when he made such a move during the locust plague. But thinking that in the future, she could only entertain Xiaofujun with some simple food, and Lily of the Valley couldn't help but ask gloomily, what about today's soup cakes? ”
"Eat clean, of course. Wasting the food made by lily of the valley will be damned. Cai Ji grinned and quipped at Lily of the Valley, causing the latter to laugh as well.
With such an episode, Cai Ji may also have to be accompanied by gruel and cooking cakes for many months in the future. But there's a way to do it. Who called the end of the Han Dynasty who is now a pit father! Therefore, Cai Ji's bowl of noodle soup can be described as extremely delicate and slow. While eating, she swore in her heart that when she was developed in the future, she would eat abalone, shark fin, roast suckling pig, and ......
But even if Cai Ji eats slowly, there will always be a time to finish a bowl of noodle soup. What's more, Zhang Qing also visited. But as soon as he entered the door, he asked Cai Ji eagerly, "I heard that the little lord is going to save the locust plague?" ”
"Nope." Cai Ji replied casually while motioning to Lily of the Valley to make tea, "Brother Zhang's news is really well-informed." ”
"Ah, little lord, you can go to that kind of land of right and wrong." Zhang Qing was so anxious outside the door that he stomped his feet.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I'll be fine with General Taishi as my companion for disaster relief this time. Cai Ji said and beckoned to Zhang Qing, Brother Zhang, let's go into the house and say. It just so happens that I also have something to look for you, Brother Zhang. ”
When Zhang Qing heard Cai Ji say this, he couldn't help but walk into the room with a solemn expression. After taking his seat, he asked unwillingly, "Is the little lord determined to go to the disaster relief?" ”
"Yes. I've made up my mind. Cai Ji nodded in an unquestionable tone.
Zhang Qing knew that his little lord was the kind of master who couldn't pull back ten cows once he made a decision. So in desperation, he had to sigh and mention that the little lord took Shangqing with him. ”
"That's not going to work. Brother Zhang had to stay in Huang County. Cai Ji shook his head without thinking.
"Why?" Zhang Qing lowered his head and frowned and asked.
"Because apart from Brother Zhang, Ji doesn't know who to give his back to." Cai Ji looked at the man in front of him, who was one round older than him, and said calmly.
"Little Lord......
Cai Ji's answer made Zhang Qing raise his head in surprise, and Cai Ji said to him, "Brother Zhang is the person Ji can trust the most now. Although General Taishi is loyal and righteous, his loyalty is dedicated to Donglai and the Han Dynasty. And Brother Zhang, you are loyal to Ji. So the only person Ji can trust is Brother Zhang. ”
Cai Ji's words made Zhang Qing's heart hot, but when he saw him, he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Just by the orders of the little lord." ”
"Ji hopes that Brother Zhang can stay in Huang County and act as Ji's eyes." Cai Ji looked at Zhang Qing and said calmly, as if what she said was just a matter of course.
"The little lord wants to pay attention to Duan Kui, Guan Tong and the others?" Zhang Qing asked with a frown.
"It's not just Duan Kui and Guan Tong. And the people around them. When Cai Ji said this, it happened that Lily of the Valley entered the house with tea. So she pointed to Lily of the Valley and said, "Actually, before I went to Xuzhou, I had instructed Lily of the Valley to pay attention to the people in the Taishou Mansion." ”
"Lily of the valley?!" Zhang Qing looked at the twelve-year-old girl beside him in surprise. However, Lily of the Valley behaved deservedly and blessed him, and Fu was considered to have recognized his identity as Cai Ji's fine work.
"Brother Zhang doesn't need to be so surprised. Actually, this kind of thing is not difficult to do. Just pay attention to the words and actions of the people around you. Cai Ji explained.
Although Zhang Qing didn't expect Cai Ji's "young age" to think of investigating people's secrets. However, in view of the current situation of the little lord as the puppet of the two of them, Zhang Qing finally nodded and agreed, and the little lord was relieved. It's up to Qing. ”
"With Brother Zhang's help. Ji was relieved. Cai Ji smiled with satisfaction.
But Zhang Qing did not let go of Cai Ji's words. But seeing that he hesitated for a moment, he said to Cai Ji, "If the little lord can, let's stay in Huang County for a little longer." ”
"Oh? Brother Zhang heard it? This time it was Cai Ji's turn to frown and asked.
And after Zhang Qing pondered for a long time, he finally raised his head and picked out the little lord of the Dao to Cai Ji, this Huang Gongcao has been enveloping the generals of the Cai Mansion. As far as Qing knows, some people have been a little shaken. If the little lord doesn't stay in Huang County again, I'm afraid the Qing will ......"
"I'm afraid these people will defect to Duan Kui's faction." Cai Jishu unfolded her eyebrows and said, as if she had expected such a result.
"Since the little lord will be like this. And why did you leave Huangxian at this critical juncture? Zhang Qing asked anxiously.
"Brother Zhang, although Ji shocked the world, he responded to the post of Donglai Taishou. But that doesn't mean Ji doesn't have self-knowledge. Ji Yijie is a female streamer, helpless, with the name of Taishou, but she is actually a puppet controlled by others. Just ask how such a lord can be followed. What's more, the Hakka family of Caifu will be loyal to my father at the beginning. At this moment, Daddy has already passed away, and they have nothing to say about their switch to Jijiaji. Therefore, Brother Zhang's affection is not only loyalty to Ji, but also kindness. Cai Ji said this, and gave Zhang Qing a deep look.
Cai Ji's grateful attitude moved Zhang Qing to some extent. It must be known that in this era, many children of official families take the loyalty of their elders and guests for granted. There are indeed very few people like Cai Ji who are so young and know how to be a corporal of Lixian. And this may also be one of the reasons why Cai Ji has done many horrific acts, but Zhang Qing still stays by her side. Of course, this also includes Cai Ji's kindness for collecting Die'er's body that day. So Zhang Qing hugged his fists and returned the salute, saying that the old lord, the little lord, Yu Qing and others were kind, and Qing and others should assist the little lord. Please rest assured that Qing will definitely convince the others to stay. ”
After hearing this, Cai Ji asked rhetorically, Ji Ji, with the prestige of Brother Zhang, he will definitely be able to convince those who wavered this time. But what about later? ”
This time, Zhang Qing was completely silent. Because it's not a long-term solution for him to go on like this. After all, it is a troubled time right now, and any seven-foot man with a skill will want to do a great career in this beacon era. It is indeed difficult for these people to be subordinated to a woman. But his little lord chose a thorny road that even men dare not try. This made Zhang Qing both admired and worried.
Cai Ji himself didn't know Zhang Qing's worries. But these are troubled times. There is no loyalty for no reason, and there is no betrayal for no reason. Even if it is Emperor Xian, who was born with a golden key, or Yuan Shu, who was born in a wealthy family, he does not have a convincing standard, and he cannot get the loyalty of the world's heroes. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't help clenching his fists hidden under the case, and said proudly, Brother Zhang, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions, and the twisted melon is not sweet. Ji does not expect to be able to exchange tears and righteousness for loyalty. But Ji is convinced that as long as Ji works hard to make a difference in Donglai, the monarchs will one day agree with Ji as the lord! ”
