So I think we have to talk about Li Fuquan carefully, because this matter has a very great reference significance for our work or life, here not only talks about Li Fuquan's self-recommendation, but also reflects Fan Li's worries, worries and guidance to Li Fuquan.

At that time, when Li Fuquan recommended himself, Fan Li would not agree at first, because such a big thing, it can't be said that if you want to get it, I will let you get it, I have to think about it.

So, he went back to discuss with his secretary Zhao Huiwen, and this matter could be discussed with Zhao Huiwen, which showed that compared with Li Fuquan, Zhao Huiwen was more trusted by Fan Li, so what attitude did Zhao Huiwen give, and he completely agreed.

Zhao Huiwen has three main considerations, the first one: say that your old Fan family, your reputation is too loud, your military power is too great, the emperor can use you now, so you have a lot of authority, but in history, there are things like unloading the mill and killing donkeys, so if you really let your younger brother go at this time, it will undoubtedly make your Fan family army stronger, and the emperor's sense of unease will be more.

And if you look for the veteran soldiers of the brave soldiers, in fact, you are also strengthening your Fan family's army, and you will still be suspicious of the emperor, the second point, although it seems that we have a good momentum now, but once we take the Jinzhou of the rebel army, then we have to face a little farther and more dependent on the hostile forces in the north, then these resistance forces are actually not easy to fight for us southern soldiers, because from the experience of the predecessors, aren't they all fighting from the north to the south. And the probability of success from the south to the north is not very high, so in this area, you also have to find a way for the next path of the brave soldiers.

And if you push Li Fuquan out, let him form another army, let him set up another portal, so that you can effectively avoid these two things, first, he and you are not nominally a group, but the fact is that you know that he is your student, it seems to be okay on the surface, in fact, it is a family, second, in case we can't keep up with the war in the future, isn't Li Fuquan still have troops, if he can come to support, this concept is different, So it's equivalent to saying that you cultivated Li Fuquan into one of your allies.

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of the overall situation of the imperial court, or from the perspective of your self-preservation, it is a good choice to use Li Fuquan. But the problem is that Li Fuquan's experience is too shallow, you need to help him and support him.

After getting the analysis of his big secretary Zhao Huiwen, Fan Li was relieved and said that I could have a good chat with Li Fuquan.

And at this moment, Li Fuquan is also very worried, because in this troubled world, if you want to get ahead, you must have a gun, and the most basic thing about having a gun is that you have to have the authority to recruit soldiers, and you must also have money and merit.

If Fan Li directly gives Li Fuquan the authority to recruit troops, then the first problem is solved, and I can recruit troops. Second, after arriving in Haizhou, if you have money, let's not talk about the money provided by these squires, if you go to Haizhou, you can make a donation, and draw this tax head, you can draw 600,000 yuan a month, and you can raise 50,000 elite soldiers with half of it.

What is the concept of 50,000 elite soldiers? If I have 50,000 elite soldiers in my hands, who am I afraid of! So Li Fuquan's current mood is mixed with excitement, and he thinks so in his heart.

So when Fan Li found him and said, "Come, tell me, if you can take on this responsibility, tell me about the specific things you want to do, do you have any plans?"

Li Fuquan said: Then recruit people, recruit 50,000 people, and I am not afraid of any of these 50,000 people.

But after Li Fuquan finished speaking, Fan Li didn't agree, so he said: Fuquan, it will be more expensive than much, saying that you recruit 50,000 people at a time, the number of people is a lot, but when you pursue quantity, your quality will naturally decline, think about it, you go to recruit people now, how many serious people can you recruit, 50,000, that's not a small number, you see that the thief party is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions. But when we fought Anqing, when we were trapped in Qimen, we were thousands of people who defeated tens of thousands of people on the other side, what does this mean? It shows that their soldiers are not good enough, you see that their people are all rabble, and they run away after a little setback when they fight, and if you recruit so many people, it will inevitably happen, so it is useless to recruit more such soldiers.

After Fan Li said this, Li Fuquan was a little confused, and said Teacher, do you want me to recruit?

Fan Li said: You want to recruit, but I want you to reduce the number a little.

Li Fuquan said: Then I will recruit 20,000?

Fan Liang said: 20,000 is more.

Then I'll recruit 10,000? This is already 20 percent of Li Fuquan's original plan.

Fan Li still shook his head, Li Fuquan was anxious: Then how much should I recruit? Teacher, please give me a clear guide.

Fan Li waved his hand and said: Just recruit 5,000!

In fact, when he said this, Li Fuquan was not very happy in his heart, what is 5,000 people enough for, why don't you let me recruit more people if you have money? But when you think about it: what the teacher said makes sense, the most important thing, if you don't agree, the teacher won't give you permission, let alone 5,000, 500 people, you can't recruit them. When I went back, I agreed first, and when I arrived in Haizhou and opened up the situation, when I had the silver, I would recruit 50,000 yuan, and I would recruit 500,000 yuan, so I didn't have the final say?

So Li Fuquan was very wise, and said directly: Okay, teacher, if you say recruit 5,000, I will recruit 5,000.

After saying this, Fan Liang was very happy and obedient, okay, then I will give you another piece of advice: When we recruited brave soldiers, what kind of people did we recruit, do you know?

Li Fuquan said: I know, the recruits are all hard-working and simple countrymen, they are all farming, and I will do the same this time.

Fan Li said: Yes! You can't recruit homeless people, even if you recruit some stupid ones, he is obedient, if you recruit those idle people, he will easily become a soldier ruffian, it is easy to become a soldier oil, and the war will not give you hard work at all, you must be those obedient people, you can make it good!

Li Fuquan said: Yes, there is this reason, then teacher, how can I identify what kind of person is honest and what kind of person is a slippery person?

At this time, Fan Li began to teach Li Fuquan the secret, how to say it, just say: You can know what kind of person this person is by looking at his face, teacher, I am very good at looking at people, let me teach you! Evil looks at the eyes and nose, truth and falsehood look at the lips, fame looks at the spirit, wealth looks at the spirit, ideas look at the fingers, turmoil looks at the heels, if you want to see the order, it's all in the language.
