Hurriedly returned to the town house, and the housekeeper had already arranged for someone to pack up a guest room for the "wonderful person".

The layout of the room is very simple, a bed, a cabinet, a table, a chair, and that's it. But for Chen Kai, it is enough to have tiles to cover his head, clothes to wear, and a stable source of food. To live is at the heart of everything he has done so far, because he knows very well that only by living can there be a future.

Chen Kai is a ship in the morning, on the road, meeting and farewell spent a lot of time, it was already past lunchtime, but the housekeeper still sent a lunch, there are dishes and soup, although it is not very rich, it is also some home-cooked dishes, but in case of good preparation, it can be seen that the quality of these servants of the Zheng family's wealthy family.

In the first two days, the diet was relatively modest, but the next day there was no need to eat at noon because of the need to bury the rotting corpses. At the moment, I am in a comfortable place, and I don't have to worry about my life for the time being, and the food has become extraordinarily sweet. If it weren't for a small servant waiting in the house, Chen Kai estimated that his appearance would be even more ugly.

"Mr. Chen, the head of the family has orders, Mr. traveled thousands of miles south to join the king, and he must have worked very hard. Today and rest with peace of mind, tomorrow I will be Mr. to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

"I'm tired, and I'm sorry to thank the students for their kindness."

After lunch, Chen Kai fell asleep after a little digestion, and slept until the evening, when the little guy came over with dinner, and he woke up quietly.

The dishes for dinner are completely different from lunch, after eating, Chen Kai watched the moon in the small courtyard for a while, and after bathing, he returned to bed again, and he wanted to make up for the unfinished things between the first two days and the bed. But this time, he didn't fall asleep directly, but opened his eyes and was thinking about how to shine under Zheng Chenggong's banner next.

Everything that happened today, except for the extra ten taels of silver, was almost as expected by Chen Kai. This is all based on his understanding of history and Zheng Chenggong's correct prediction of the general situation.

Even the honorarium was calculated by him before - the Zheng family is a maritime family, but the rich are rich, not to mention the current embarrassment, even if it was like that, since Zheng Chenggong is willing to spend these ten taels of silver, he will subconsciously want to make these ten taels of silver play a greater value. It's like gambling, betting on it, even if you just talk about playing and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but in your heart you still want to get something in return.

There are many things about the human heart, which are common in any era!

The identity of the child in Datong Mansion, Shanxi Province, was naturally made up by Chen Kai, and the reason why he chose to go so far was to prevent the Zheng family from having the opportunity to investigate. Originally, Chen Kai also planned to use the place of Beizhili, but considering the relationship network of the Zheng family along the coast, he directly chose Datong Mansion, because if nothing else, there will be a massacre there in the year after tomorrow, a massacre that he can't and can't stop in Guangdong.

However, the extra ten taels of silver depend on Chen Kai's on-the-spot reaction, and he should also benefit from it. Of course, the reason for this dilemma is that a modern person living in the increasingly cashless world can see at a glance that the pound of silver is really a bit difficult for a strong man. At least before Lin Dezhong shirked it, Chen Kai had been treating the two ingots of ten taels of silver as five taels.

Fortunately, after today, there is also a place to live. According to Chen Kai's memory, Zheng Chenggong raised an army here at the end of last year to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and now it is only the end of April, to be exact, April 28, and it is only half a year. can't be called poor and white, but the foundation is still very thin, and there should always be something that can reflect the sense of existence.

Of course, if you want to do something, you must first get Zheng Chenggong's approval. However, through the fog of history, Chen Kai clearly remembered that almost all later readers of history had words such as stubbornness, firmness, and even stubbornness in their exposition of Zheng Chenggong's personal character.

Such a character is indeed not easy to convince, but if this matter is thought about the other way around, as long as Zheng Chenggong is persuaded and Zheng Chenggong believes in his proposal, then even if others have opposing opinions, they may not be able to shake their determination.

In other words, if it is an old fritter like Zheng Zhilong, or someone else in Zheng Jun, Chen Kai may not have such a great self-confidence, but Zheng Chenggong is still young after all, even if he is far smarter than ordinary people, he has only been in contact with practice for two years, and he is basically in military affairs, and he still needs more precipitation in experience, and the success rate is higher for him than those who are far inferior in history.

"Whether you can gain a firm foothold in Zheng Chenggong's small group depends on tomorrow!"

………………

If you go to bed early and remember the big events of the next day, you will naturally wake up earlier. Chen Kai woke up early, rethinking and calculating what to do when he saw Zheng Chenggong again, constantly betting and solving, and never tired of it.

Sure enough, it was probably the end of the daily routine military discussion, and Zheng Chenggong sent someone to recruit Chen Kai over. The banquet was still held at night, probably during the day, Zheng Chenggong still wanted to talk to him, so as to see where he could win back the "bet" and how much he could gain.

Chen Kai arrived at the Tiger Festival Hall, and behaved like a ceremony, compared to last time, this time there was a seat, and Chen Bao and Hong Xu were not there, and there were only two of them now.

"How was Mr. Chen's rest yesterday?"

Zheng Chenggong opened his mouth to greet him, and Chen Kai hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Thank you for your care, the student has not slept so peacefully for some days." ”

"Mr. Chen doesn't need to be polite, just sit and talk back."

"The students obeyed."

After a little greeting, Zheng Chenggong asked some of Chen Kai's personal questions, such as his parents, such as marriage, Chen Kai answered them one by one, and he always had to highlight a single person. Even on the issue of his parents, he did not continue to make it up, in order to win Zheng Chenggong's sympathy, but just tried to be simple and easy to remember.

Soon, after these concerns, Zheng Chenggong said bluntly: "The first emperor was martyred, Fujian and Guangdong provinces were captured, and Benbo rebelled in Nanao, and he really felt alone. Today, Mr. Chen has come thousands of miles to vote, and he is overjoyed. When Mr. Chen first arrived, he should have rested for a few days to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. However, no matter how difficult the national affairs are, we still need to make persistent efforts. Ben Bo took the liberty of asking Mr. Chen to tell the truth, what is the director? ”

As Zheng Chenggong claims to be, he is lonely and weak, and now is the time to seek talent. Chen Kai knows very well that this thirst for talent is not the kind of fame and reputation at all, and he really urgently needs talented people to use it. And more importantly, since Chen Kai has traveled thousands of miles south, he should always have some ability. With this expectation, there is a little eagerness here, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"The grace of the national surname is inscribed by the students. It's just that the students are really frightened when they ask themselves that they have no strength to bind the chickens and no bones to carry firewood on their shoulders. ”

Hearing such an answer, Zheng Chenggong was caught off guard. Anger arose spontaneously in his heart, but when he noticed that Chen Kai not only did not get up and apologize, but looked at him with a smile on his face, even if it was a sudden realization.

"Mr. claims that he has no power to bind chickens in his hands and no bones to carry firewood on his shoulders, so he has the wisdom to think deeply?"

"I don't dare to call the word intelligence, it's nothing more than a cranky thought on weekdays, and there are some miscellaneous studies in my belly that can't get into the hall of elegance, and I really don't know how to serve the country."

Chen Kai said these words confidently, and Zheng Chenggong's eyes were also bright. He risked angering Zheng Chenggong's violent temper this time, and emphasized that he was powerless, not just to pave the way for deep thinking, but more importantly, he didn't want to participate in the military under Zheng Chenggong early.

For Chen Kai, he likes history, so he can see more comprehensively in this era, which is a great advantage. However, the historical account is confusing and lacking in content, and later generations have been chiseled and followed, especially by memory, and he is not too familiar with many details. In particular, the details of Zheng Chenggong's early military operations, due to the small scale and the low victory rate, are more hidden in the fog of history for Chen Kai.

Coming from modern times, Chen Kai did not dare to have any contempt for the ancients. Especially for those who can leave a name in history, they can survive in a harsh environment and achieve achievements, which should be extraordinary. Chen Kai didn't think that he would be great if he had more historical knowledge, not to mention that he had a vague understanding of some things in the early days of Zheng Chenggong's army to resist the Qing Dynasty, since he couldn't help in this regard, it was better to settle down and do something more meaningful. It's just that how to play a greater role there, Chen Kai has no clue about this.

Like Chen Kai, Zheng Chenggong didn't know where to use Chen Kai more appropriately. He is now in short supply of talents, so he naturally thinks about how to play a greater role. Originally, the worst plan was that Chen Kai and his people did not have any talent, and they should be able to do copywriting. Now that Chen Kai seems to be full of self-confidence, it makes Zheng Chenggong hesitate a little.

"It's not as good as this, the national surname Ye sent someone to take the students around the relevant places, and the students need to conduct a field trip, maybe they can think of a way that can be beneficial to the national surname."

When you first arrive in a new area, you must first do relevant investigations before you can set a marketing strategy, which is the most basic, Chen Kai has learned at the beginning, and has also practiced in the workplace, and now the truth has not changed, and it is also to apply what you have learned.

"In that case, then Benbo will personally accompany Mr. Chen, well, it's good to investigate."

Zheng Chenggong personally accompanied?

With such a big face, Chen Kaidang was a little flattered: "The surname of the country is a great opportunity, and the students really don't dare to work hard." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zheng Chenggong shook his head, and then said categorically: "The big thing has been decided, and the details will be shared by everyone, and Ben Bo also wants to hear Mr. Chen's high opinion in person." ”
