Recruiting Kou Zhun, Liu Mang was very excited.

Now, there are Liu Bowen, eldest grandson Wuji, Fan Zhongyan, Li Hongzhang, Kou Zhun, Li Yan, Wu Yong and others.

Most of these people have the ability to dominate the world.

It's just that now he only controls the two counties of Yanmen and Taiyuan, so he has to overuse the material and let these talents in the world take charge of the land of one county and one county. is even like Kou Zhun, who can only supervise eight counties for the time being.

"I've wronged you for the time being!" Liu Mang comforted these powers in his heart, "Sooner or later, one day, I will hand over the whole world to you, and let you display your talents to the fullest!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er asked while tidying up the house, "Don't you have to cook at night?" ”

Yo! Forget about her! Wan'er is also a "women's prime minister"!

"Yes, you don't have to do it."

"Yo-he!" Wan'er let out a cheer like Hu Ren, but her voice was very soft and much better.

"Lazy girl." Liu Mang said with a smile.

Wan'er playfully stuck out her tongue.

Wan'er is not lazy, very clean and neat, tidying up the house, very diligent. He likes to write and calculate, and can share a lot of things for Liu Mang.

It's just that she doesn't know how to cook.

It's no wonder that she's different from the attacker. Born in the home of the eunuch, on the side of the Xiongnu, he was also treated as a nobleman, and he never needed to cook by himself. When I lived in Tongfuyi, I ate with Tong Xiangyu and the shopkeepers.

She really didn't do anything about the stove.

During Zhao Yuze's trip, she occasionally cooked for Liu Mang a few times, to be honest, it was much worse than attacking people's skills.

However, Liu Mang didn't care. "Female Prime Minister" is always much more useful than "Female Cook".

"Wan'er, when you go back, you find the shopkeeper Tong and ask her to help find a cook, don't do the things on the stove yourself."

"Uh, okay." Wan'er blushed. After all, she is a servant, and she can't cook for men, which is really embarrassing. "Wan'er will try her best to learn in the future."

"Wouldn't it be overkill to let Wan'er go to the stove?" Liu Mang reached out and rubbed Wan'er's head.

Wan'er smiled and hid.

"Eat fish at night, Zhao Yuze's fish is delicious." Liu Mang likes to eat fish.

"Eat fish, it's fishy!" Wan'er has lived outside the Saiwai for many years, and almost never eats fish, and she doesn't like to eat it.

"It's good to eat fish, smart!"

Wan'er pursed her lips in disbelief, as if there was fishy fish in her mouth.

"Really, I don't lie to you. The fish is rich in ...... "Liu Mang is stuck, he really hates that he didn't learn well in his previous life."

It's really a book to be used when you hate less!

To deal with a girl like Wan'er, a few profound terms are the big killer of pickled girls! It's a pity that Liu Mang can't say it......

Although Wan'er didn't believe it, she still waited for Liu Mang's next words very seriously.

"Oh, yes! Fish brains, in particular, are particularly nutritious! "I can't tell the high ranking, I use the vernacular to pick up girls, and the grade naturally drops a lot.

"Fish brains? Can you eat that? Wan'er almost vomited from nausea.

"Yes! It's delicious and nourishing to the brain. Eat and make up! ”

This sentence finally made Liu Mang confused. In folk medicine, there is indeed a similar saying. There is no need to explore whether it is scientific or not, but at least it has something in common with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Wan'er believed this more or less.

"It's still beautiful!" Liu Mang remembered one more.

"Beauty?" Wan'er didn't understand it again.

Yes!

Liu Mang secretly applauded in his heart. That's right! Words like beauty, to Wan'er's ears, are very high-grade!

"Beauty means to make people more beautiful."

"Really? Does the young master eat? ”

"Eat!"

"Uh......" Wan'er was determined.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, Wan'er is already very beautiful, of course she hopes that she will be more beautiful. Wan'er is smart, she is very proud of it, and she wants to be smarter.

"Then I'll eat it too!" Wan'er looked righteous and awe-inspiring. In order to be more beautiful, in order to be smarter, fight!

"That's right! In the evening, eat fish with us. ”

"For dinner, the young master is discussing things with his subordinates, and it is inconvenient for Wan'er to sit at the same table, right?" Shangguan Wan'er was born noble and knew the rules.

Liu Mang didn't have so many rules, but he also thought of a problem. Although Wan'er is talented and capable, she is a woman after all. Liu Mang's experience in his previous life was more or less machismo. And now, it is an era of male superiority and inferiority of women. Liu Mang has been in contact with Liu Bowen and others for a long time, and he has heard a lot of stories about women participating in politics, most of which are negative examples. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.

"Wan'er, you are very smart, you can help me sort out military and political affairs in private, but you can't participate in formal occasions."

"Wan'er understands."

Liu Mang felt that he might have said too much, Wan'er was a really talented person after all, not an ordinary woman, so he added. "If you do notice something wrong, tell me privately, okay?"

"Wan'er remembered."

……

Eating fish is not the subject. Liu Mang summoned Song Yingxing Mangui to Pingtao to discuss farming and grazing here.

Chatting about business while eating has gradually become a form of discussion between Liu Mang and his subordinates.

Song Yingxing is a naturalist and has a wide range of knowledge. Although he is not a professional agronomist, he also has a deep research in farming. During this visit to Zhaoyuze, he had already made preliminary plans, and the main idea was to make more rational use of the water sources near Zhaoyuze and expand the cultivated area.

Kou Zhun was a local official, so he was more aware of the situation in this area and raised his own questions. "Our main problem here is the lack of labor. Even if a lot of land is cultivated, no one cultivates it? ”

"I've already thought about this problem," Song Yingxing replied, "There is a shortage of labor, and I can't solve it for the time being, but I can start by improving farm tools." Two months later, the Iron Mine will be tested. The tried pig iron may not be suitable for making ordnance, but it can be used to replace agricultural tools, and replace wooden and bronze agricultural tools, which will make farming twice as effective with half the effort. ”

"That's good!"

Man Gui's trip was mainly to inspect the pasture, and he had already chosen a location, which was in the area of Daling and Pingtao. It is an area surrounded by Luliang Mountain in the west, Wenshui in the north, Yuangongshui in the south, and Zhaoyuze in the east.

Luliang Mountain in the west, blocking the cold wind in the northwest, has a relatively mild climate and a long pasture growth time. It is surrounded by water on three sides, ensuring that the grassland has abundant water sources. It is an ideal place for horses to spend the winter.

Three rivers and one mountain, surrounded on all sides, form a natural barrier, which can prevent horses from getting lost.

Kou Zhun raised his worries again: "Luliang Mountain, there are a lot of jackals on the mountain, will they hurt the horses?" ”

Man Gui said: "I thought about it, I led the troops to be stationed at the foot of the mountain, and the jackals came, and they were slaughtered." ”

Li Hongzhang shook his head. "The garrison is under the mountain, and the cost is too great. Now is the time of lack of money, and I am afraid that it will be unbearable. ”

At the mention of money, the atmosphere immediately became heavy.

"Damn money again!" Liu Mang cursed, "Come on, come on, eat fish first, you can always come up with a way." ”

Liu Mang summoned everyone to eat fish, and specially greeted Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, but she held back, followed Liu Mang's example, and worked hard to eat the fish head......
