Chapter 768 Self-Insured Capital

After Shen Yan and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect reached a consensus on the dormant matter of the White Lotus Sect, Shen Yan walked to the west gate of Wuzhou Mansion with light and vigorous steps, and saw that Feng Changrong and the others were still standing under the gate, facing the cold northwest wind, their faces were a little red from the cold, and seeing this look, Shen Yan's eyes flashed a strange look.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Shen." Seeing Shen Yan's figure, a complicated look flashed in Feng Changrong's eyes, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and said loudly.

"Lord Feng doesn't have to be polite." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he understood in his heart that Feng Changrong was doing this for himself, and his purpose was to change the impression in his mind, so as to increase the possibility of gaining the knowledge of Wuzhou Mansion.

"This cold wind is biting, Lord Feng and the others are still waiting for the official here, and the official is really grateful in his heart." Shen Yan said the words on the official's face, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and said loudly.

"Lord Shen defeated the White Lotus Sect, and returned a peaceful living environment to the people of Wuzhou Mansion and Huaibei County, with such a great merit alone, let alone waiting for the adults in the cold wind, even if it is snowing like goose feathers, the lower officials and others are willing to wait for the adults here, to see the demeanor of the adults, and to go back to praise the people around them." Seeing a trace of gratitude flashing in Shen Yan's eyes, a look of excitement flashed in his graceful eyes, and a hearty smile appeared on his face, he said loudly.

"Let's go into the city, although the sun is shining, but the cold wind in this winter is really uncomfortable, after entering the city, everyone will go home first and drink a bowl of ginger tea, go to this cold air, what about the official, go to the school field in the city first, and communicate with the soldiers about the gains and losses of the battle with the White Lotus Sect." Shen Yan's eyes showed a hearty smile, and with a hint of care, he said loudly.

Shen Yan's impression of Feng Changrong is neither good nor bad, although Feng Changrong almost destroyed his deployment in Wuzhou Mansion before, but this did not change his impression of Feng Changrong, fundamentally speaking, Shen Yan did not intend to include Feng Changrong in his camp, because Feng Changrong was too calculating, such a person, if he couldn't give him enough benefits, and others gave him higher bargaining chips, Feng Changrong might turn back, and once Feng Changrong knew too many things in his camp, Although it may not cause much trouble to Shen Yan, it would be better if such a risk could be eliminated from the root.

Shen Yan also knew in his heart that Feng Changrong did have a certain talent, and he couldn't be appointed with confidence, but he couldn't let him be put into other people's camps, so Shen Yan's plan was to recommend Feng Changrong to Xia Yuanxu, if Xia Yuanxu could use enough benefits to drive Feng Changrong to be used by Xia Yuanxu, it would be a happy thing for everyone.

Shen Yan also thought about including Feng Changrong in his camp, however, Feng Changrong's personality and style of dealing with the world were indeed not suitable for Shen Yan, and Feng Changrong and Shen Yan could not achieve common interests, so Shen Yan had to temporarily give up his plan to win over Feng Changrong, and recommended him to Xia Yuanxu, and promised Wuzhou Mansion Tongzhi.

Shen Yan also guessed that once Xia Yuanxu arrived in Xiangzhou Mansion, there would be some transformation, although he didn't want to get rid of himself completely, but Xia Yuanxu's heart was already thinking about getting more benefits in Xiangzhou Mansion, so as to add more capital or chips for him, Shen Yan didn't want to interfere with Xia Yuanxu's thoughts in this matter, in addition to wanting Xia Yuanxu to hit a wall, more importantly, he wanted Xia Yuanxu to have a clearer understanding, leaving Shen Yan, Xia Yuanxu really couldn't do many things.

It is with this idea that Shen Yan's attitude towards Feng Changrong will be like this, Shen Yan doesn't want Feng Changrong to complain to Xia Yuan behind his back one day in the future, so as to get greater benefits, and even become a person opposite each other.

Besides, Shen Yan wants to deploy Wuzhou Mansion, and for the time being, he can't do without Feng Changrong's support, in military affairs, Shen Yan has already grasped the initiative, but there are still great factors of change in this initiative, Shen Yan can't recommend Tai Zhenlong to sit in the position of Wuzhou Mansion garrison, at most let him join the army, as long as he can't be the highest army commander of a mansion, it means that the army of Wuzhou Mansion is in danger of being divided, and Shen Yan has to be cautious.

Moreover, Shen Yan's weakest point in Wuzhou Mansion is government affairs, unless he can install his own people as the prefect of Wuzhou Mansion, but this idea is impossible to realize at all. Huang Weiqian is the only one who is currently taking this road, but Huang Weiqian's qualifications are impossible to sit in the position of the prefect of Wuzhou Mansion, and he does not even have this qualification to be the chief bookkeeper.

Shen Yan's idea was to temporarily vacate the garrison and regimental training of Wuzhou Mansion, the reason was that Wuzhou Mansion had experienced the clarity of the White Lotus Sect, and it needed local people in Wuzhou Mansion to appease it for the time being, and when the time was ripe, the imperial court would appoint suitable people to serve as important official positions such as the prefect and garrison of Wuzhou Mansion.

Although Shen Yan felt that this possibility was not particularly large, according to his understanding of the emperor, coupled with the fact that his father-in-law Qiu Mubai said a few words on the side, Shen Yan's idea may not have no soil for implementation.

After the Wuzhou Mansion is stabilized, Shen Yan will find a way to transfer a suitable person from the Great Xia Royal Army or the Servant Army to take this position, or at that time, as long as Tai Zhenlong performs well, there is no possibility of further progress. As for the position of the prefect, Shen Yan really doesn't have the slightest clue for the time being, but it doesn't matter, when he returns to Jinling, he will communicate with Qiu Mubai privately about this matter, and maybe he can find a better solution.

In short, no matter what kind of situation will arise, Wuzhou Mansion must become the core of its own deployment, its own strength can not only be in the Great Xia Royal Army and existing official positions, Wuzhou Mansion is the land of fish and rice, besides, the most important county within the jurisdiction of Wuzhou Prefecture is Lingnan, Lingnan is the western gateway to Jinling, only this place is deployed and operated, and they have more sufficient resources and capital.

Shen Yan didn't believe that after the emperor appointed a prince as the prince, the other princes would willingly get rid of the dream they had been fighting for, and the prince would not be willing to crush the other princes before the strength of the other princes, and the hearts of the other princes must be unwilling, coupled with the advocacy of the family or some opportunists, there may not be any one among these princes who will embark on an armed road.

If it weren't for the final victory of the eighteen princes, once the emperor was old, Shen Yan would also try his best to make those princes who were dissatisfied with the prince jump out, and only by muddying the water would Shen Yan have room for self-preservation.

This is not that Shen Yan wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, but to protect Qiu Yingxue's equivalent people, and he has to fight for it. If the speculation in Shen Yan's heart really happened, then Wuzhou Mansion would definitely become a place of battle, and this was the stage and opportunity for Shen Yan to protect himself or rise, Shen Yan believed that as long as Wuzhou Mansion was run well, coupled with the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, he would have enough capital to protect himself.
