The next day, Sun Yu, who was still hangover, rushed to the old camp in Dalanshan early. Because today, for him, in addition to the formal confession, he also has to hand over the account books and take inventory.

Dalan cottage consists of five camps and five divisions. Wang Yi was in charge of the military affairs of the five battalions and the various prisons in Siming Mountain, while Wang Jiang was in charge of the affairs of the five divisions.

The so-called five battalions are the five battalions in the left and right fronts and backs, and the middle battalion is directly led by the military general of the Jinglu Wang Yi Department; Huang Zhongdao, the commander of the front battalion, was the one who killed Yan and my envoy a few months ago; The rear battalion commanded Mao Mingshan, who was Wang Yi's old general; The left and right two battalions are commanded by Liu Yiming, a native of Shengxian County, which is said to be the two battalion leaders with the strongest combat effectiveness in Siming Mountain.

Among the five battalions, the middle battalion was stationed in the old camp of Dalanshan, and the other four battalions were stationed in important places.

The five divisions refer to the five divisions of taxation, tuntian, construction, treasury, and conscription, which are in charge of logistics and general affairs to support officials and soldiers. The grain depot where Sun Yu worked was a subordinate department of the Treasury Department.

The grain depot is responsible for supervising grain, vegetables, wine, vinegar sauce and other materials on weekdays. Compared with the treasury, another major department of the Treasury Division, corruption here comes more from loss - rat infestation, insect infestation, dampness, obsolescence, decay, improper storage, etc., all of which have become the reason for loss, and how much of this is real loss, I am afraid that the people in the grain depot themselves do not know very well.

A few months ago, after Sun Yu came to Dalanshan, he was directly appointed as the ambassador of the grain depot as a person. Since his arrival, according to his experience in handling general affairs in Zhu Dadian and Yin Canjun, he has reorganized the grain depot and tun affairs at a very fast speed, and strengthened the supervision and management of his subordinates, so as to minimize unnecessary losses. And this also won him a well-known nickname, Sun Black Face.

It's just that I don't know who has such talents, and this nickname can be regarded as a pun when you think about it.

Today's expulsion ended soon, and under the envy and jealousy of everyone, Sun Yu hurriedly returned to the grain depot to hand over the account books and take inventory. At this time, Wang Yi also got the report of Chen Wen talking about Zhu Yuanzhang's struggle history at Sun's house yesterday.

"Does he really dare to call Emperor Gao by his name?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Yi took the case. "This kingless and fatherless fanatic!"

"Calm your anger a little." As he spoke, Hu Er was already kneeling on the ground.

Although he had received Chen Wen's money, Hu Er knew very well where his strength came from. Yesterday, when Chen Wen started to speak, he just rushed to Sun's house and listened to it all over the place. And the small village itself is at the foot of Dalan Mountain, where there is a wind and grass that will soon know about it.

Chen Wen's inappropriate use of words can be big or small, but if Wang Jinglue or Wang Vice Xian first got the news from others instead of himself, it was likely to provoke the dissatisfaction of the officials, and if he lost the favor of the officials because of this, the consequences might be extremely bad for himself.

So, the only way to do this is to stop with Mr. Chen, although his story is very well told.

However, Wang Yi, who was still angry just now, did not continue to speak. After his expression changed a few times, I saw him sit down gently, shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said lightly: "Young and frivolous." And he did not bother with it.

Hu Er looked at all this dumbfounded, in his impression, Wang Yi has always been jealous and hateful, what's wrong today?

It's just that he doesn't know that at this moment in Wang Yi's heart, he is already planning to beat Chen Wen well, but it's not now.

………………

At this time, Chen Wen naturally didn't know what was going on on the mountain. Although he slept until three o'clock in the morning as always, he was already thinking about the next few days as early as yesterday.

Since the days before going up the mountain, he was very anxious by the guerrilla of that king, and Chen Wen began to consider whether to recruit some people in Dalan Mountain so that they could go south together.

What was the most important thing to start a business in the 17th century? The answer is simple – talent and information.

Information Chen Wenyou, at least until the air that his little butterfly can fan out is successfully transformed into a tornado, information is not a problem. And talent is what he needs most now.

As a modern person, Chen Wen is very self-aware of the objective reality that he cannot govern the government and kill thieves with force.

Youdao is a hero, three gangs, a fence and three piles. Since it is a career, it is inevitable to form a team and form a team, and Chen Wen still understands this truth.

Because in doing so, on the one hand, his journey to Fujian in more than a month will be smoother, and he will no longer be bullied by a criminal gang of more than a dozen people as before; On the other hand, it is like this, he is also better in Zheng Chenggong's army, and he has his own people in his hands, and it is not easy to be deceived and set up.

Chen Wen believed that when he arrived in Fujian with the selected candidates, these Zhejiang people would inevitably rally around him in the Zheng clique, which was full of Fujian natives, and form a miniature faction. This can also be regarded as the completion of the initial talent accumulation for him to lead an army alone in the future.

He was well aware that neither the 17th nor the 21st century could bring out everyone's talents to the fullest. The so-called wild and virtuous people are nothing more than the exaggerations of the ancient literati, and it is simply impossible to accomplish it.

Moreover, he didn't think about collecting a group of characters such as Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, Five Tiger Generals, and didn't say whether there was such a talent at the end, and even if he did, he never made up his mind, because what he relied on would be the victory of the system, not the victory of personal ability.

After two days of getting along, Chen Wen had a certain good impression of this ice-faced treasurer, especially when he heard some words inadvertently revealed by Wu Dengke, who was clearly drunk, yesterday, which made him have the idea of recruiting Sun Yu.

It's just that, not to mention whether it can be successfully recruited, even if it is successful, the three members of the Sun family are all people who can't tie chickens with their bare hands, and they can't be qualified for the function of bodyguards in the early stage. In this case, Chen Wen had no choice but to find another target, and these people must be the ones who are superior to ordinary people in terms of force value.

If you want to develop your downline, you must first know people, which is the immutable law of the sales industry. Originally, Chen Wen was still worried about how to meet more potential customers in this strange era, but after yesterday's speech, it gave him a new enlightenment.

In fact, there are only two basic points in the success of tactics: first, facing the opponent, attacking the short with a long one; Second, face yourself and make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

In modern times, he likes to go to historical forums and read historical novels, and he also knows a lot of historical stories from them. These miscellaneous studies were nothing in the era of the information explosion, but in ancient times, when there was no Internet and no public library, few people could touch it.

So, why don't you take advantage of this?

As a result, Chen Wen broke out with the idea of spreading nationalist ideas by talking about the ancients in the name of propagating the defense of Yixia, so as to develop the downline. In particular, what he needs is the kind of person who has an obsession with fighting the Manchus to the end, and who is a comrade like himself.

However, Chen Wen did not feel that he himself was a natural orator like Hitler, and if he wanted to tell people about the ancients and be engaging, he had to write a manuscript in order to study the wording, which was the experience he had accumulated during his training. Writing a manuscript requires a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After coming to this era, Chen Wen learned through his guest appearance as Mr. Teacher and in the Sun family for these two days, that although more than 1,600 years have passed since the practical application of papermaking, paper, a one-time consumable, is still too expensive for ordinary people.

However, Chen Wen didn't know that Sun Yu himself was just a special case, and it was not too easy for the terrifying gray income of the ancient officials to support the daily paper consumption of the scholars in the family.

Thinking about this, Chen Wen felt that he could be regarded as a guest no matter what, and it was not good to cause additional burdens to others. So, he asked Wu Dengke to go to the town today to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, or something.

It was only when Chen Wen went to take out the silver taels from the package that he found that Lu Laolangzhong had been instructed to drink medicine before, and he had already thrown it to Java Island.

However, thinking back on the meals of the past two days, Chen Wen immediately felt at ease. Doesn't it say that salt can be disinfected, it is estimated that the cold germs have been eliminated. Now he only feels that his body is very good, and he eats it well, and this has not been cured by Blue Sky Liu.

knocked on the door of Wu Dengke's house, only to see that Wu Dengke still looked like he was hungover. He was very surprised by Chen Wen's arrival, and only after Chen Wen reminded him of what happened on the flowing water banquet yesterday.

So, Wu Dengke got dressed, tied up the leather that he was going to sell, picked up the bamboo gun in his hand, and took Chen Wen to the town a few miles away.

Maybe it was because the exercise was turned on, the alcohol in the blood was washed away, and Wu Dengke also chatted well. After a while, he suddenly remembered to ask Chen Wen about his official position.

Chen Wen felt that the ancients could not compare to the modern people in the matter of telling nonsense, so he asked Sun Yu to confess after the banquet last night, but he didn't know how much Sun Yu, who was already sleepy and couldn't open his eyes, remembered.

"Zai Xia is not Wang Jingluo's subordinate, he just came to Dalanshan on business, and he will leave after a while."

"Oh." It seems that Wu Dengke still has some regrets. "Where are you going then?"

Do you want to come with me? Chen Wen asked himself that he was not so charismatic, and just one day together could make others follow him at the risk of dying in a foreign land.

"Fujian."

"Oh." Wu Dengke thought for a while, and then asked, "How many products do you have in that official residence?" ”

Hey, it's another problem baby, but this Wu Baobao is too much worse than the previous Wang Baobao's level.

"No, otherwise you wouldn't be able to ask me to do this errand, do you say yes or no?"

"That's what happened." After receiving this answer, Wu Dengke seemed to become a little excited. "I don't think it should be like this with your talents."

is so good at talking, Chen Wen can't help but look at this big man with three big and three rough, but there should be something to say.

"Brother Wu is overrated, and he has a personal opportunity."

"What Brother Chen said makes sense, but I feel that some things are not just as simple as chance."

It seems that there is a real afterword.

Chen Wen followed his words and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Brother Chen, you know, Sun Juren's talent, our brothers have seen it with our own eyes. However, the group of Ningbo and Shaoxing people on the mountain only gave this miscellaneous petty official, which was obviously bullying us and other outsiders. ”

Then, Wu Dengke could be said to know everything, and he exhaled his heart about the unequal treatment that Sun Yu and his brothers had received in this Dalan Mountain, and only heard Chen Wen have nothing to say.

After all, it's nostalgia.

Chen Wen remembers that when he first graduated, he always had a job from Shandong, and there were naturally two groups of people in the company, the local gang and the Shandong gang. Moreover, he also heard that the head office has a rule prohibiting locals from being local CEOs, and if they are promoted to a certain position, they will be transferred to other places, probably to prevent them from infringing on the interests of the head office after becoming a local snake.

Chen Wen knows that many modern companies have similar regulations or unspoken rules, and this did not appear until modern times, and the system of being an official in a different place in ancient China was actually based on such considerations.

However, such a rule does not apply to the current situation.

In the fourth year of Yongli, the remnants of Ming are already in danger. From the former great unified dynasty to the current separatist regime, the Ming court itself has been unable or even unwilling to control the local real power faction to become bigger. In contrast, the existence of a local faction willing to swear allegiance to the Ming court was more beneficial to the Ming court than a local group that was detached from morality due to the court's sand-mixing behavior.

The Simingshan area itself is located at the junction of Shaoxing, Ningbo and Taizhou. This Dalan Mountain is in the north of Siming Mountain, close to Ningshao and Ningshao. And the two people in charge of the cottage are also Ningshao people, and they can use their hometown to recruit talents and expand their influence. Therefore, it is normal for the majority of people in Ningbo and Shaoxing under his command to do so.

In Chen Wen's view, although Sun Yu and Wu Dengke, a group of Jinhua people, did not come with sand, their appearance has already posed a threat to the local group, so it is normal for them to be squeezed out.

Although Wu Dengke's negative energy exploded at the moment, Chen Wen still listened with great self-cultivation. However, in the midst of Wu Dengke's repeated grievances, there was a sentence that caught his attention.

"A certain great-grandfather and Wu Dashuai are brothers of the same clan, Qi Shaobao taught a certain weapon and martial arts back then is not proficient, if you talk about bravery, a certain has killed more Tartars than they have slaughtered chickens, why do those fake girls step on Lao Tzu's head."

Yes, Jinhua people are fierce and have always been a place to send good soldiers. Wasn't Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, which crushed the Japanese and swept through Mongolia, from Yiwu and Dongyang counties in Jinhua Mansion?

It's just that Chen Wen is not very interested in the Wu Dengke in front of him.

First, Chen Wen's first target is Sun Yu, Sun Yu himself is already a Jinhua person, if he recruits this Wu Dengke, who has a group of fellow villagers, he will have to risk being overlooked.

Second, although Wu Dengke claims to be brave in martial arts, he has never seen it at all. There is a saying that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and sometimes what you see may not be counted, let alone heard.

Third, and most importantly, after the past two days of contact, Wu Dengke did not feel good about Chen Wen. Although this person is bold, righteous, and informal, he is humanely blind and greedy for cups, not to mention his psychological age, and he has a big mouth. As a foreigner in Zheng Chenggong's army, he is bound to be cautious, and it is too easy for such a subordinate to cheat his father.

I'm illiterate, I'm really embarrassed to call the name Dengke.

But I don't have any acquaintances at the moment, so I should be the medium to get to know other people, anyway, this guy is a person from all over the world and knows a lot of people.

After walking for a while, Chen Wen and Wu Dengke finally arrived in the town.

This town is obviously much more densely populated than the village where Chen Wen temporarily lived, but unlike the Jiangnan town he visited back then, it has not yet been flooded by tourists. Although due to the strict discipline of the Dalanshan army, the people in the areas occupied by the Qing army in Ningshao who were forced to survive have gathered here, and even produced some deformed prosperity, but there is still a certain gap with what Chen Wen expected.

Wu Dengke led Chen Wen to the only calligraphy and painting shop in the town that sold the four treasures of the study, and then went to the shop where he had previously collected the skins he hunted to sell the skins.

Indicating his intention, Chen Wen chose a set of four treasures of the study that were exactly the same as the one that Tuo Hu Er bought last time, but when the shopkeeper asked for the price, it was one or two more than the previous one.

This made Chen Wen speechless, and the co-author was a guest of slaughter.

Subsequently, Chen Wen began to pick and choose this set of things, and finally said something as if unintentionally. "Last time, Second Brother Hu helped me buy it cheaper than this."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was first taken aback, and then asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about Second Brother Hu?" ”

"Hu Er, who is waiting in front of Wang Jingluo of the old camp of Dalan Mountain, don't you know this? How do you mess around here? ”

"You know Second Master Hu, the villain really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai." The shopkeeper immediately became respectful.

"I'm not very familiar with it, I just asked him to buy something when he was sick with nutrition a few days ago."

The one who can recuperate in the old camp should be a luxury figure.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper made a 360-degree turn, and he didn't pay the price to Chen Wen, and directly pressed down five coins of silver. also vigorously said that the owner was not there, and he was a wage earner with such a lot of authority, and asked Chen Wen, a "big official", to forgive me.

This is all a rotten trick used by the sales staff in Chen Wen's era, and everyone knows it. However, Chen Wen didn't plan to go any further, after all, there was only one in the vicinity, and he might come again in the future, but he bought some more paper, and left the calligraphy and painting shop under the eyes of the shopkeeper, and went to the place where he had made an appointment with Wu Dengke just now.
