The sacrificial text was originally decided to be written by Cai Yong, and the stone tablets had already been carved, just waiting for the tree to rise. Sun Ce temporarily decided to be written by Cai Yan, and everything had to be reversed and restarted. But these are not problems, it's too late to engrave the monument, you can write the Dan first, and then let Cai Yan show her calligraphy.

Cai Yanwen is agile and almost instantaneous. Sun Ce was semi-illiterate, and barely knew what she was talking about, but he couldn't see the subtlety. After Du Xi read the manuscript, his eyes lit up, and he was full of praise, and even called Cai Yan the leader of the women, no less than a man, not only the article is well written, but the calligraphy is also good. Sun Ce joked with him, then ask her to write a thumbs up for your great-grandfather's portrait. Du Xi smiled and said that he couldn't ask for it, and went to prepare happily. He is very disciplined in his work, and he has prepared a lot of stones, which is not troublesome, just say it.

Seeing that the time had been delayed and it was useless to be in a hurry, Sun Ce simply postponed the trip by two days and took this opportunity to contact the family. Under his signal, Yan Xiang let out a rumor that Sun Ce intended to transfer some technology, including the transfer fee, which could be paid in installments, and also purchased some large quantities of office supplies, which were large in quantity and at a good price, and could also be paid in advance to help expand production.

As soon as the news was released, some people were immediately moved, Yan Xiang and Huang Chengyan were also as busy as Cai Yong, and people kept coming to greet them, either beating around the bush, or getting straight to the point, asking what projects could be cooperated with and what materials to procure.

Yan Xiang and Huang Chengyan have a tacit understanding, they only talk about intentions, do not give promises, and in the end, only Sun Ce can decide who to give and who not to give.

Seizing the time gap, Sun Ce discussed with Zhou Yu, Yan Xiang and others to draw up a list of to-do affairs, which was considered the draft of the first five-year plan. Sun Ce had very little practical administrative experience, he only provided the general direction, and the specific affairs were still handled by Yan Xiang. Although Du Xi decided to leave his post and return to his hometown, he still participated in the meeting and put forward some suggestions.

Yan Xiang admired Du Xi very much and expressed great regret for his resignation, but he had the same opinion as Sun Ce, and he would never force anyone. I'd rather work hard for the time being, rather than force anyone to stay, and strive to get together and disperse.

With the confirmation of the list of those who left their jobs and returned to their hometowns, the determination of replacements was also quickly put on the agenda. In the list that came up from Yan Xiangbao, Sun Ce saw a familiar name: Li Yan and Li Zhengfang. He doesn't know if it's the Li Yan in history, but judging from his age and place of origin, he shouldn't be wrong.

Normally, Sun Ce just looked at the list that Yan Xiang reported, and generally would not make an appointment, let alone veto, even if some of them might not be suitable. Yan Xiang is the most cooperative one in the old department of Yuan Shu, this point of face Sun Zi Ce to give, it is really inappropriate, when the time comes, he will have his own assessment to speak, Yan Xiang will not have any opinions.

But this Li Yan, Sun Ce really wanted to see it.

Yan Xiang didn't say a word, and immediately called Li Yan over. Li Yan is now a household servant and a member of the Taishou Mansion, but he has been urging money and grain in various counties some time ago, and he is not in Wancheng, so Sun Ce didn't see it. It was precisely because of his diligence that Yan Xiang felt that he was a manufacturable material, so he was included in the promotion list.

Li Yan is very young, two years younger than Sun Ce, only sixteen after the New Year, and it has only been a few months to work in the Taishou Mansion. Facing Sun Ce, he looked straight at him without any timidity.

"What books have you read?"

"Analects, Filial Piety, Left Transmission." Li Yan paused, and then said: "Warring States Policy, Sun Wu's Art of War." ”

"Like to command troops?"

"I ...... Thinking out of the will into the phase. ”

"Since you want to command the army, why didn't you go to the martial arts hall to study, but became a county official? At your age, if you enter the martial arts hall for a year and a half, and then serve in the army, you should be able to get ahead quickly. ”

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then raised his head again, his eyes sharper. "The land outside the city was divided by the general, and the mansions in the city were destroyed by the war, and life was difficult.

Sun Ce's heart tightened by his eyes, and then he smiled again. "Your family turned out to be rich?"

"It's not rich, it's been hard work for several generations to accumulate 250 acres of fertile land and a district of houses."

"How many people are in the house?"

"Grandmother, parents, two unmarried uncles, one sister-in-law, three brothers, and two sisters."

Sun Ce made a rough estimate. The Li family's situation is at most food and clothing, and it is still far from Haoqiang, so it should belong to the category of being injured by mistake. Otherwise, Li Yan would not have two uncles who are unmarried, this kind of thing is not unusual, and a policy will definitely go out of shape in the process of implementation, not to mention that this time it is a stormy struggle between the enemy and us.

"Do you have a lot of situations like this in your family?"

"Quite a few, I have been touring counties around the past few months, and I have seen no less than 100 cases. I have recorded all of them and submitted them to Yan Fujun. ”

Yan Xiang expressed his approval and did receive Li Yan's report, but it had not yet been reported to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce nodded and looked at Li Yan's promotion plan in his hand. Li Yan was originally just a small official of Hu Cao, and Yan Xiang planned to arrange him to be a subordinate of the county Cheng in Wan County. Sun Ce returned the plan to Yan Xiang.

"Arrange personnel to check this kind of medium-sized portal that has been injured by mistake, and those who can be returned will be compensated according to the price if they cannot be returned, and they will be properly resettled."

"Whoa." Yan Xiang took over the plan, and then motioned to Sun Ce with his eyes how to arrange Li Yan. He could see that Sun Ce admired Li Yan very much. Sun Ce didn't say anything. just encouraged Li Yan a few words and asked him to have the opportunity to go to the lecture hall to listen. Li Yan thanked him and bowed back.

"General, do you want to readjust?"

Sun Ce looked at Yan Xiang. "What did you plan to do before?"

"I admire him, but he is only sixteen years old, and his rise too quickly can easily cause the old officials to be ostracized. He has a hard temperament, and maybe something will happen, so he was promoted by half a level, and when he became familiar with him for a while, he made achievements, and then promoted. ”

"Your plan is very good, I don't think there is any need to adjust." Sun Ce clasped his hands on his knees, raised his head, and looked at the groups of celebrities in the distance. "Yan Jun, celebrities look down on us, and we look down on them, and we don't engage in Yuedan commentary. Not horses, only horse racing. It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk, those who can get on it, and those who can't let it. It doesn't matter if it's slow, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the fire cooking oil looks lively, but it can't last long. Dong Zhuo's mistakes are in the past, and Wang Yun will soon follow in his footsteps, and we can't learn from them. ”

Yan Xiang's eyes flickered slightly. "General, do you think Chang'an is uneasy?"

Sun Ce smiled. "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Wang Yun's age can't be changed. ”

"Then are we holding off on the repatriation of Guanzhong?"

"Don't slow down, just let it be. Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and some costs are unavoidable. If you go to great lengths to save them, they may not be grateful to you, and they may still treat you as an enemy. Sun Ce paused, and then said: "However, it's good to make some preparations, I estimate that even if some people leave, they will come back soon." ”
