Jia Ke stared at Xuanfu Town for a long time, and finally turned over and left Xuanfu Town and went straight to Kaiping Town.

It only took Jia Ke two days to return to Kaiping Town, and the first thing he did after returning was to summon Fan Kang and ask him to come to the study to meet him.

When Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's summons, he immediately put down other affairs and rushed to his commanding embassy (after it was upgraded, it was called the commanding envoy's mansion), and there were already subordinates waiting for him at the door, and when he saw him coming, he was immediately welcomed into the study.

After Fan Kang entered the study, he saw Jia Ke sitting there leisurely reading a book. Fan Kang didn't care about anything else, but as usual, he gave Jia Ke a serious salute first, and Jia Ke said with a smile when he saw him coming: "I told you a long time ago, don't always be so serious." Like a wooden man. ”

Fan Kang said solemnly: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, this is also the long-term way of monarchs and ministers, if there is no etiquette, it will suffer in the future." ”

Jia Ke heard what he said so seriously, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Have you heard about me?" Now I have supervised the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping. ”

Fan Kang happily asked, "How is this possible?" How could Wang Tao hand over such a lot of power to an adult. ”

Jia Ke laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you count on Wang Tao, we would have died a long time ago." This is the emperor's personal will, and I went to Xuanfu Town this time to receive the decree. ”

Fan Kang heard the anger in Jia Ke's tone, and immediately asked him, "Lord, is it that Wang Tao is disrespectful and suppressive to the lord?" ”

Jia Ke said with a smile: "I really let you guess, this Wang Tao is just a child now, and he actually hung me at the door of the mansion, for more than an hour, if it wasn't for the eunuch who passed the decree, I don't know how long I would have to wait." ”

Fan Kang heard his words and said sadly: "My lord, I'm afraid that Gao Hong I told you doesn't know where he sent him now. The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. But Wang Tao had not yet overcome his sorrow, so he drove his advisers away. How unwise. ”

Jia Ke heard him talk about this Gao Hong again, so he asked him with interest: "This Gao Hong you are talking about, is it really so powerful?" ”

Fan Kang said solemnly: "Gao Hongcai is just past others and is loyal to Wang Tao, but this person is ruthless and vicious, harming others and benefiting himself, so he has offended many people." This time, I am afraid that this is also the reason why he was demoted, so as to give an explanation to the generals of Xuanfu Town. ”

Fan Kangchai is not bad at all, although Xuanfu Town was besieged this time, Gao Hong contributed a lot in it, if it wasn't for his scheming, I'm afraid Xuanfu Town would have been broken a long time ago. But this time he used He Tong as a decoy to attract the attention of the enemy, and then sent a messenger to Kaiping Town to report to Jia Ke. Such a very spicy method made the generals in Xuanfu Town suspicious, and many people had even begun to stay away from Wang Tao.

After Wang Tao found out about this situation, he felt that the situation was serious, although Wang Tao and these generals were superiors and subordinates, but after all, they were all officials of the same dynasty, and there was no distinction between master and slave. If these generals deviate from him, I am afraid that in the end, he will have no proper meaning as a temperance envoy.

In the end, Gao Hong also saw that the situation was not good, so he belittled Wang Tao, and Wang Tao saw that Gao Hong was willing to come out and take responsibility, so he immediately agreed. directly went to a small county town in Xuanfu Town to be a county lieutenant.

As soon as Jia Ke heard Fan Kang's evaluation of Gao Hong so high, he asked him: "Is it possible to recruit him for my use." ”

Fan Kang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible in this life and this life. Gao Hong's loyalty to Wang Tao is unmatched, and the adults are now hostile to Wang Tao. It is impossible for him to fall under the command of adults, and even to become enemies of adults in the future. ”

Jia Ke's face couldn't help but become serious when he heard this, and he thought about it in his heart, and it seemed that he would send someone to get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible.

Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke no longer spoke, so he knew that Gao Hong was more than lucky, and Fan Kang had followed Jia Ke for a while, and he also knew Jia Ke's personality, and he would never leave a person who was a threat to himself. Based on his understanding of Jia Ke, Jia Ke is a master, but he is a traitor, all he can leave behind are people who are not a threat to him, or even beneficial, and people like Gao Hong who threaten him will not end well in the end.

Jia Ke paused for a moment, then changed the topic and asked Fan Kang: "How many defeated troops have we collected in the north this time." Wang Tao won't give me a single soldier this time, he wants me to recruit by myself, and the most hateful thing is that he didn't allocate a penny to me. ”

After hearing this, Fan Kang understood that this condition was probably given to Wang Tao by Gao Hong before leaving, and this was to borrow a knife to kill people. Xuanhua, Kaipingjiang Town is located in a fortress, if the Tatars continue to use troops next year. And Jia Ke did not have enough troops to defend the two places, and when the time came, whether the Tatars killed Jia Ke, or lost the city and lost the land, the emperor disposed of Jia Ke. In the end, Wang Tao was able to take back all the rights of Xuanfu Town.

But Fan Kang didn't dare to say it now, otherwise with Jia Ke's temperament, he would immediately send someone to deal with Gao Hong, and Fan Kang sometimes thought that his lord didn't look like a young man at all. It's like a middle-aged man who has been suffering for a long time.

Fan Kang took Jia Ke's words and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this time we have gathered more than 10,000 defeated soldiers in the north, as long as we recruit another thousand people, we will be able to gather enough troops." It's just that the cost of recruiting people is a bit troublesome. ”

Jia Ke heard what he said, and said with great satisfaction: "I have nothing to fear this time, and I still have to hurry up in the future training." When the time comes, I will put my personal army down and become a hundred households, and I must train these people again. As for the money, you don't have to worry. Fifty thousand pieces of silver were set aside from my treasury to recruit new soldiers and train soldiers. ”

When Fan Kang heard that Jia Ke was going to send the pro-soldiers team down again, he already understood what he meant. But it was as if he didn't hear it at all. Then he asked Jia Ke: "My lord, we also captured twenty or thirty thousand Tatars this time, what do you think?" ”

Jia Ke thought for a while and said to him, "I have my own arrangements for these things? You don't have to worry. ”

"In the next period of time, our task is to train new soldiers, Mr. Fan will trouble you during this time, and recruit the remaining thousands of soldiers neatly."

Fan Kang said: "It's my job to say that the lord is troublesome or not. It will only take a month to recruit the soldiers. Now the people in Xuanfu Town are grateful to the adults, and I am afraid that as long as they hear about the recruitment of adults, they will immediately come to serve. ”

Jia Ke said: "In this case, I will leave this matter to Mr. ”

The two gossiped a few more words, and Fan Kang took his leave.

Jake paced back and forth in the room, thinking about the captured Tatars, who had been captured more than a thousand Tatars after a year. The living conditions here are much better than those of the grassland, and they are now used as Jia Ke's slaves, herding sheep and horses near Kaiping Town, and these people can even fight for Jia Ke when necessary, and they have inherited the fierceness of the grassland people, and their combat effectiveness is probably no worse than the elite cavalry trained by Jia Ke.

Jia Ke saw the value, so he decided to place these two or thirty thousand Tatars near Kaiping Town to graze sheep and horses.

Jia Ke wanted to emulate the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and manage these Tatars, and they had only one master, and that was Jia Ke.

After the matter was decided, Jia Ke returned to the inner house with a relaxed body, and as soon as he entered the door, Lan Xiang greeted him with a smile on his face, and said happily: "I heard them say that the uncle is back, but there is no one to see, and now we can be regarded as seeing it. ”

Chuncao and Qiaolian came in from outside at this time, holding a copper basin with warm water. As soon as Jia Ke entered the inner house, he felt that sleepiness swept over his body, and he sat on the chair and didn't want to move anymore.

Chuncao and Qiaolian felt distressed for a while when they saw him, so they carried a copper basin and washed him alone.

Jia Ke sat there and was fiddled with by them, and in the past month, he had been fighting in the north and south, and he had hardly had a moment to rest. Now that I'm home, I want to lie there and not move anything.

Jia Ke rested in the inner house for the night, and the next day he recovered his spirits. He immediately summoned Liu Yu, who was not only the captain of his own army, but also in charge of the management of the Tatars.

As usual, Jia Ke still met Liu Yu in the study, and the house where Jia Ke lives now is exquisite, but after all, the area is still small. There is no meeting place such as a living room or a flower garden, and the lobby in front of it is a military place, not a place to meet, so Jia Ke usually discusses things with people in the study.

Liu Yu saw Jia Ke salute first, and Jia Ke asked after he saluted, "The more than 1,000 Tatars you are in charge of have been in charge for a year, how are they now?" ”

Liu Yu said with a serious face: "Uncle, now that they have been completely tamed, they fully agree that you are also their master, and I have already disposed of all the thorns in them." Even now it's okay to let them die for their uncle. ”

Jia Ke was very happy to hear this, and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that the methods I gave you are still very useful, and in less than a year, they have all agreed with us." ”

Liu Yu couldn't help but light up when he heard Jia Ke say that the method of taming those captives, "Uncle's method is really ingenious, and it didn't take long for these people to completely refamiliarize themselves with their new identities." Their loyalty to the uncle is completely no problem. ”

Jia Ke has no doubts about this at all, and the method he uses is a successful case of modern pyramid schemes and shoe brainwashing. In the context of such advanced information in modern society, many high-level intellectuals have been brainwashed within a few days, not to mention these ancient people who have not experienced the explosion of knowledge.

Jia Ke said to him slowly: "This time we have captured twenty or thirty thousand people, these people will be my minions in the future, we must train them well, and divide the Tatars we trained last time into these people, each of them will manage twenty or thirty people, and train these twenty or thirty thousand people for me according to the method I gave you." ”

Liu Yu said respectfully: "Uncle, don't worry, as long as you do it according to the method you gave, I think they will completely become your loyal slaves in a month." ”

Jia Ke explained to him every time: "You can't blindly rely on these methods, you have to give these people room to rise, and you have to set a few examples." Let them know that following me will be more promising than being on the steppe. ”

Liu Yu couldn't keep up with Jia Ke's thoughts, and asked a little confusedly, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”

Jia Ke hated that iron could not become steel and glanced at Liu Yu, this Liu Yu is a little too wooden, if you give him an order clearly, he will definitely do it for you, but if you let him solve the problem by himself, he will be completely helpless.
