Jiang Chuan was discussing with Bai Jinxiu in the post house about attracting investment from Datong to Erlong Valley.

Now that Datong's literature and martial arts have been basically dealt with, plus Bai Jinxiu sits in Datong and controls the Jinyi Guard, so there will be no big problems on Datong's side in the short term.

"As long as next year's spring offensive goes smoothly, with our successive victories, the Datong side will only be more stable. At that time, Mu Zuo will be more determined, and Li Yongnian's motivation to follow me will be stronger. Even those who are wavering and waiting for the situation to become more proactive will become proactive. At that time, it was not us who used means to force people to take refuge, but these people took the initiative to cry and shout that they wanted to take refuge, which is called leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade. ”

Jiang Chuan used a few teacups on the table to lay out a schematic diagram of Liaodong's own strength competition, moving the cups as he spoke, the three cups representing Jiang Jiajun, Manchu Qing, and Li Yongnian, and after he finished speaking, the cup representing Manchu Qing had been taken away from front of him, and the remaining two cups were already close together.

"The prospect is very good, but everything must be built on the basis of the continuous victories of the offensive next spring, and once there are a slight twists and turns, the minds of these people in Datong will have waves. Are you so confident that you will be able to take the three cities in southern Liaoning next spring? Bai Jinxiu looked at the two cups in front of him and said.

"Of course, since I dare to say this, I am definitely not blindly confident, but I am quite sure. You can rest assured of that. All you have to do is help me take care of my backyard. Jiang Chuan's tone was light, but it revealed a strong self-confidence, but Bai Jinxiu didn't know where his confidence came from.

However, his self-confidence obviously infected Bai Jinxiu, and he was no longer worried, after all, since the two met, the impossibility turned into a fact again and again has verified that Jiang Chuan's confidence is not blind and arrogant.

"As for the matter of attracting investment, you still need to go to Mu Zuo to discuss it. Mu Zuo has been in Datong for many years, and he knows all the businessmen in Datong, who is strong and who has a good reputation, he should know all this. The two of you will discuss and draw up a list according to the order of investment we have agreed before, and then you will have people check the details of these businessmen, and if there is no problem, you will gather together to meet and tell them about the matter. You can take care of this matter, and after they prepare the goods and personnel, you will personally take them back to Erlong Valley. ”

Jiang Chuan tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.

This is also something that has been discussed for a long time, but now that Mu Zuo has joined, he can't waste his role as a prefect, and things can be more effective with half the effort, after all, it is more convincing to gather these businessmen in the name of Mu Zuo.

Bai Jinxiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter, and I will definitely bring someone to answer Guzhong before Xiao Nian." ”

The reason why it is before the new year is to let the people of the valley have a good year with everyone.

As soon as the two finished speaking, Bai Mu came to report that Mu Yi, the son of Mu Zuo, was asking to see him outside.

"What is he here for?" Jiang Chuan glanced at Bai Jinxiu, and she didn't know why.

"Let him in." Egawa-do.

Bai Mu went down and soon came in with Mu Yi.

As soon as Mu Yi entered the door, he saw that Bai Jinxiu was also there, raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mu Yi sees Hou Ye." ”

"The shepherd boy got up and spoke." Jiang Chuan smiled kindly.

Mu Yi thanked him and got up, bowed to Bai Jinxiu and said, "I've seen Bai Gongzi." ”

He saw Bai Jinxiu for the first time today in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, although he didn't know his true identity and specific position, but he could see that he was Wu Anhou's right-hand man, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Bai Jinxiu nodded slightly.

"Shepherd, please be seated." Jiang Chuan pointed to the chair opposite.

"Master Hou can call me Mu Yi." Mu Yi said respectfully, and then thanked Jiang Chuan and sat down in a proper manner on the opposite side.

"Okay, Mu Yi, is there something wrong with you coming to see me today?" Jiang Chuan was as good as a stream, and asked.

"Don't dare to deceive Master Hou. Mu Yi has a friend who learned that I was going to follow Hou Ye to join the army to make contributions, so he begged Mu Yi to make suggestions to Hou Ye, hoping to serve under Hou Ye with Mu Zuo. My friend is well-versed in literature and ink, and has also learned some kung fu, and is good at horseback riding and archery. Therefore, Mu Yi dared to come to see Hou Ye to recommend his friends, and asked Hou Ye for permission. Mu Yi stood up and said loudly.

"What's your friend's name?" Jiang Chuan was a little surprised and said with a smile.

"Back to the Hou Ye, my friend's name is Wang Siyuan, who is the son of Wang Hao, who has been with Mu Yi for many years, and knows that he has long had the ambition to serve the country and join the army, so I am here to recommend it." Mu Yi said.

Wang Siyuan? is still the son of Datong's general judgment? It's interesting.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, and glanced at Bai Jinxiu next to him, Bai Jinxiu nodded to him with a slight groan, meaning that there is indeed such a person.

For the people with heads and faces in Datong City, especially the information of these civil and military officials, Bai Jinxiu already had an account in his heart, and at this moment, he found the information of Datong's general judgment Wang Hao, which is indeed consistent with what Mu Yi said.

"You also have a heart, you can recommend talents for Benhou, and Benhou will give you a credit. You will lead Wang Siyuan to the post house tomorrow to meet me, if it is really a talent as you said, Ben Hou is naturally willing to include his subordinates. Jiang Chuan nodded.

Mu Yi was very excited, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Mu Yi thanks Master Hou for his great kindness on behalf of his friend, and I will definitely bring him to the post house to see Lord Hou tomorrow." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded, and said a few words of encouragement, which made Mu Yi, a hairy boy who was dedicated to making meritorious contributions, excited that he couldn't find the north anymore, and left in a daze.

After leaving the inn, I went to Wang Siyuan to report the good news.

As soon as Mu Yi left, Jiang Chuan smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect to buy one get one free, this business is not a loss." ”

Bai Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized his meaning of buy one get one free, and sneered: "What you said is the same as the goods." But that Wang Siyuan knows that he is usually with Mu Yi. However, although these two people also like to drink and have fun on weekdays, they don't have any bad deeds, but sometimes they do some uneven things, but they don't have much arrogance. ”

"That's it. We are now in a shortage of talents, as long as there is no big problem with character, can read and hyphenate, and do things neatly, you can put it away. Although we can't see much need for the time being, when we conquer the three cities in southern Liaoning next year, we will need a large number of officials to govern these occupied areas, and then it will show that our embarrassment is coming. I'm really short of talent. By the way, there are two people, and when they go back, they will find Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo to come. ”

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he suddenly remembered the two people he had noticed on the first day of Datong.

"What are you talking about?" Bai Jinxiu asked curiously.

"One is called Huyan Jiaping, who is currently a city gate official. One is the post keeper of this post house, called Yan Zhai. Although these two people are both petty officials, they are serious in their work and abide by their principles, so they can be used. ”

Jiang Chuan gave a brief introduction.

Bai Jinxiu understood that Jiang Chuan meant to investigate the details of these two people by himself, so he said, "No problem, I'll give you the answer tomorrow." ”
