It didn't take long for a wealthy businessman to come to visit Xu Jue, claiming that his ancestral home was Chaisang, and thanking Xu Jue for exterminating the Yellow Turban and recovering the city, so he offered iron to fund the military. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Xu Jue didn't know if this rich merchant was a system figure or a real existence, these didn't matter, as long as he gave me resources, so he entertained him well, and then immediately ordered someone to transport 8,000 catties of pig iron to the blacksmith shop, and ordered the blacksmith to make 500 axes within ten days, and there would be heavy thanks at that time.

After explaining, Xu Qi returned to Taishou Mansion, thinking that Li Kui's matter was solved, but he was still a little uneasy, so he went to have a look, so he walked to the school again.

Before he arrived at the school ground, he heard a commotion, Xu Qi hurriedly walked over, only to hear Li Kui yelling in the middle of the school field: "Come on, all the strong ones come here, I Li Kui has a lot of use!" ”

All the sergeants were chattering around, and they didn't know what medicine Li Kui was selling in the gourd, so they didn't pay attention to this big black bull at all, so there were only a few dozen people around Li Kui.

Xu Jue was amused in his heart, and shouted for a long time to order such people, so he walked over and said aloud to the sergeants: "Don't be suspicious, I ordered the Li Kui brothers to come and select strong men to form a strong fighting force. ”

The voice below was suddenly much quieter, and Yang Zhihuarong walked over: "Lord, Brother Li Kui said that he was ordered by you to select the strong, and I thought he was messing around, so I ignored him." ”

Xu Jue smiled: "I was negligent and forgot to give Tie Niu a piece of paper as a certificate." ”

turned to look at Li Kui: "Tie Niu, you continue to choose, move quickly, don't disturb the two brothers training." ”

Li Kui smiled like a flower: "Okay, I'm fast!" ”

After saying that, he quickly shuttled among the soldiers, kept looking at the soldiers, and pulled out the ones he liked when he saw them, and he finished selecting them in a short time.

"Brother, it's okay!" Li Kui's face was full of happiness, and he came to report to Xu Qi.

Unexpectedly, this iron bull picked up so quickly, Xu Jue nodded in approval, Li Kui saw that he was affirmed, turned his head, and shouted: "Come on!" Come here, y'all! ”

I saw hundreds of people walking over slowly, Xu Qi took a look, good guy, this Li Kuiren is not careless, the soldiers he picked are all some five big and three thick, big shoulders and round waists, tiger backs and bear waists, tall and mighty strong men, walking over and standing together like towering iron towers.

Xu Jue couldn't help but admire, patted Li Kui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Tieniu, brother I have already ordered the blacksmith shop to make weapons, and it will be made in ten days, what are you going to do during this time?" ”

Li Kui's eyes were full of light: "Brother, according to me, I want to choose two people to be my assistants, one is to be a team leader, and the other is to assist in training." ”

Xu Jue suddenly understood in his heart when he heard this, and suggested: "So very good, brother, I have a suggestion, you might as well let these two people be your deputies, to cover you, every time you fight, you are standing up, although you are brave, but you don't care about your life, the yellow scarves in the duel in the previous days are mostly farmers, and the combat power is not strong, so you are not injured, if you encounter some bandits or other fierce people, I am afraid that injury is inevitable."

Li Kui is not stupid, he is happy: "It's so good, it's still my brother who is thoughtful." ”

Immediately selected two of them to stand out from the crowd, and asked in a loud voice, "What are the names of you two?" ”

"Back to the general, villain Li Gon."

"The villain is charged."

"I see that the two of you are particularly strong in your life, and you must have extraordinary skills, so you two are willing to promote you two to be my deputy?"

"The villain is willing."

Xiang Chong and Li Gon knelt down together and kowtowed to thank them.

Li Kui carefully selected five hundred people again from the selected strong men, and then he smiled at Xu Qi with satisfaction: "Brother, I've picked up Tie Niu, I'll go to training." ”

Xu Jue waved his hand: "Go ahead." Ignoring Li Kui, who was leaving, he turned to Yang Zhi Huarong and said: "You two can give full play to your strengths to train soldiers, Brother Yang is good at marksmanship and knife skills, and Brother Huarong is excellent in archery, and then you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Jue personally inspected again, explained a few words, and then left.

On the way back, Xiao Sanguo prompted: "Since Xiang Chong and Li Gon are a combination, Li Kui has the skill: Iron Wall, rewarding the lord with 50 ability points, and currently has 250 points." ”

"Skills again? But I probably know this effect, and I only give this point of ability. Xu Jue complained dissatisfiedly.

"Be content, lord, it doesn't take much trouble for you to make this combination, and if your ability is so good, won't you have a lot of talents under you?"

"Okay, I'll take it."

Xu Jue didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, thinking that the problems of city defense, military training and other problems had been solved, and it was time to take care of internal affairs, I don't know when Lord Bao will come?

turned to think of He Shen, and suddenly had a black line on his face: In 2001, this product was actually selected as a world-class rich man in the "Asian Wall Street Journal", and he is definitely the chief corrupt official in China.

Oh, no wonder there is not much money and food in the city, he must have done it; It's not right, I only summoned him after checking the money and grain books, no matter what, his corruption is conditional and there is something for him to be greedy, and now he is just a granary order, and he is still in Chaisang, there will be ghosts if he can be corrupted, for the sake of my temporary lack of internal affairs and his 84 political attributes, use him first.

After weighing it in his heart, he walked to the Taishou Mansion, rested for a while, and ordered Xiao Sanguo: "I want to increase all 10 attribute points to politics." ”

"Okay, the increase is complete, the current lord politics 46."

"Hey, it's terrible to be politically low."

Xu Jue muttered, and then ordered to summon He Shen.

Not long after, I saw a person with a beautiful face coming over and bowed his hand: "In Xia and Shen, I don't know what happened to Taishou Rang in Xia?" ”

Xu Jue was shocked when he saw it, and his heart was extremely shocked: I didn't expect that his appearance was so delicate, this was simply a little white face, and he looked like him.

Shook his head slightly, straightened his thoughts, and still couldn't accept it, is this the same person as the round, thief-eyed person on TV?

Then he asked loudly: "I heard that you are quite talented, but you are willing to be the master bookkeeper?" ”

He Shen listened silently, and just gave up: "I am only shallow in the next level, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete." ”

Feign! You continue to pretend to me, Xu Jue felt a little contempt in his heart, I know very well what you are, you are a greedy person who gives you a promotion and is still quiet? I'm afraid that my heart has already blossomed, right?

Xu Jue pretended to sigh: "Heshen, you also know that I am just a martial artist, and my subordinates are all reckless men, which is not enough to govern the state and county, and you are knowledgeable and can hold this position, so you don't shirk." ”

He Shen was still unacceptable, and suddenly someone came to report: "Report to Taishou, a black-faced man outside the house came to visit, saying that he admired Taishou and pacified the yellow scarf, and he hereby came to vote." ”

Xu Jue immediately slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Come in!" ”

The man was confused by Xu Jue's sudden excitement, but he didn't dare to wonder, so he had to go out and bring people in.

Not long after, the person came, and I saw that the person was about seven feet five inches tall, his face was as black as a pot, his iron face was selfless, his eyes were like a phoenix, and there was a moon in his forehead.

Bao Zheng saw Xu Qi and said, "Bao Zheng, a grass people, greets Lord Taishou." ”

The sound is like a bell, full of majesty.

Xu Jue looked at Bao Zheng carefully, thinking that it was similar to what he had in his impression, only slightly whiter than a purebred black in Africa, with a well-proportioned and strong figure, although he looked thirty-seven or eighteen years old, it was estimated that he was actually only twenty-six or seventeen.

Xu Qi said: "Don't be polite, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Bao Zheng stood up straight: "The grass people are not talented, although they think that although Taishou is brave, the generals under his command are also inappropriate, but there are very few people who can write, so they volunteer and are willing to solve problems for Taishou." ”

He Shen on the side reacted a little, looking at this sunspot with a little hostility in his eyes, and when he saw Bao Zheng's calm face, the look of vigilance on his face became heavier and heavier.

All these changes in He Shen's expression were seen by Xu Jue, and he only felt funny in his heart, but he was silent: "Oh? I wonder if Bao Zheng can help me? ”

Bao Zheng said: "I have read poetry and books since I was a child, and I think I have a lot of experience in the way of government. ”

After speaking, his face was meaningless and unfathomable.

Xu Qi saw Bao Zheng, who was extremely calm below, and He Shen, who was becoming more and more uncalm, and had the heart to compare the two of them: "Okay, I want to ask the two of you, how to govern Chaisang at present?" ”

Seeing that a competitor suddenly came, He Shen was anxious to express himself, and hurriedly said: "According to the following opinion, the city wall of Chaisang is dilapidated, the treasury is insufficient, and the new arrival is too guarded, and all aspects need to be governed, so you might as well increase taxes to accumulate wealth, and reduce taxes when the city wall is repaired and the treasury is full." ”

Bao Zheng on the side listened to the phoenix's eyes, turned his head to look at He Shen, and said sharply: "This is not a good word, just now I went to Chaisang Road, and saw that the people's livelihood has withered due to the war, and there are still people who can't eat their stomachs, if taxes are increased, how can the people live?" You can't increase taxes! Xu Jue nodded secretly when he heard this.

He Shen was not convinced: "Then tell me how to govern it?" ”

Bao Zheng took a step forward: "According to the following opinion, Taishou should open a warehouse and release grain, first solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and then Taishou will definitely win the hearts of the people; Since ancient times, there has been a truth that the people's will is more important than the soldiers, and the people are stabilized first and then the people are enriched, and the rich people can enrich the city and even the country. ”

When He Shen heard this, he hurriedly said: "You can know that the grain in the warehouse is only 100,000 stones, what will the army do if the warehouse is opened and the grain is released?" ”

Bao Zheng ignored He Shen, and said: "Taishou not only needs to release grain, but also needs to scatter wealth." In Xiajian, there is farmland in Chaisang, but the people have no grain to plant, so they put grain to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and scatter wealth for the people to buy grain seeds. Taishou can make an agreement with the people when the wealth is scattered, and when the harvest is completed, part of it will be handed over to fill the treasury, and a part will continue to be planted, and the rest will be used for his own family, so that the people's livelihood problem will not be difficult to solve, and at the same time, a large number of granaries can be enriched. ”

Xu Jue couldn't help but applaud when he heard this: "It seems that he is a good official who cares about the people, and what he says is very much in line with my wishes, I don't know if there are other opinions?" ”

Bao Zheng bowed and said politely: "It's too conservative to praise, the land of Chaisang extends in all directions, and there are many people coming and going, but the state restricts trade and affects commercial development. ”

Xu Qi and He Shen were both stunned when they heard this, the former admired Bao Zheng's advanced thinking, and it was too unusual to propose to encourage the development of business in this era of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, while the latter was surprised and puzzled.

He Shen just wanted to contradict him, but Xu Jue didn't give him a chance, got up and approached Bao Zheng and took his hand and said: "What Mr. said has benefited me a lot, and I implore Mr. to be the county and manage the government affairs of Chaisang City." ”
