Chapter 318: Kung Fu of Sycophancy
"Not only that, they also compared Master Su with Tang Yushun, and the result is even not inferior!"
Su Zedong really likes this point, because this concept is very empty, although it is very fierce and widely spread among the people, but after all, the age is getting older and older, and it is difficult to be verified, so between ambiguities, make a comparison, just listen to it, don't need to be so professional and rigorous.

"Everyone also said that what Lord Su has done is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, if there is no Lord Su and no Dongzhen Mansion, the economy of this Gaoyou City will definitely decline for twenty years, and sooner or later it will be ruined by the Xiang family's grandson Xiang Feng!"
Okay, among these three paragraphs, Su Zedong really likes this passage very much, if he can, Su Zedong has turned around now, but there are many good things, and it has all been said that this is the part, Su Zedong still wants to hear it, and hear more words that slander his former opponents in order to praise himself, which is really refreshing.
"Well, that's all for now."
"Ah, is that all?
The people who walked together thought that he was not listening, but in fact, Su Zedong listened more carefully than anyone else, because no matter what, the rise of the words pointed to him.
Although Su Zedong can know from Xiao Qi'er's intelligence and secret livelihood investigation that his reputation is very good in Gaoyou City, and he can rank in the top three, but he is not afraid of many good words, what Su Zedong pays attention to is that he does not refuse to come.
"Uh-huh! I mean, didn't they make some assessment of the recent resistance to the Mongol forces at the Dongzhen Mansion and their preparations? ā
As soon as Su Zedong's words came out, he was silent for a while.
The atmosphere was embarrassing for I don't know how long, and the burly shopkeeper said: "Ah this, Master Su, so you are listening....."
The shopkeeper who chattered all the way was stunned, he thought that he was just entertaining himself all the way, no matter what Su Zedong and Master Su said, they were all big people, how could they listen to him a small character nagging here, and the most embarrassing thing was that he couldn't answer the questions asked by Master Su, his knowledge and insight!
"Huh? Don't you know, look at your expression. It turned out that Su Zedong, who was still full of red light, had a trace of displeasure on his face, thinking that the other party had said so many words of praise along the way, and he thought that this flattery should not be bad, so he asked like this, but he didn't expect that there would be no results, "Okay, you just didn't say it." ā
After making sure that there would be no more in the other party's embarrassed expression, Su Zedong turned his head and didn't let the shopkeeper see his face under the sunset in Gaoyou City.
"How can we, the ordinary people, know about the preparation of the army?"
The burly shopkeeper still didn't want to give up the opportunity to perform in front of Su Zedong immediately, even if he couldn't answer, he continued: "We can only know from the soldiers who came to the restaurant Gaoyou City that now the Mongolian troops have no way to take them, and the elite cavalry and infantry of Lu Zhen's troops are fighting against them on the front line, and they don't mention our Juyi Hall or Dongzhen Mansion." ā
Su Zedong knew in his heart that in the mind of the burly shopkeeper of Dongxing Restaurant, the guards of Gaoyou City were only the troops of Pan Yuanming and Lu Zhen under Zhang Shicheng, and ordinary non-military people would not know that Dongzhen Mansion also sent all the troops of the ghost army in addition to the three thousand militia.
The common people of Gaoyou City naturally did not know that the ghost soldiers existed in Lu Zhen's troops, and cooperated with their elite cavalry units and infantry units to resist the attack of tens of thousands of Mongolian vanguard cavalry troops from all directions at the north gate of Gaoyou City, so that tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers had no way to take it for several days.
The soldiers of the garrison of Gaoyou City estimated that the number of people who knew this situation was not too large, and the ordinary soldiers would choose to keep silent to most of the ordinary soldiers because of their military self-confidence and reputation, and not talk about the efforts of the ghost soldiers of the Dongzhen Mansion to resist the Mongol troops in the first battlefield, and vigorously publicize the heroism of Lu Zhen's troops, that is, their own troops.
This is also understandable, but understanding does not mean that you can forgive and forgive, even if you don't talk about it, the corresponding remuneration and pension, as the king of Cheng, should still need to be subsidized according to the prescribed salaries of ordinary soldiers in the general army.
Moreover, as far as the contributions made by the members of their ghost soldiers on the battlefield are concerned, even the prescribed salaries for the backbone soldiers of their elite units will not be excessive, after all, the strength is there, and Su Zedong cannot allow others to question it, because this is what he saw with his own eyes, and the reports on the front line are also clearly written on paper, and they cannot be faked.
Su Zedong is not a member of Zhang Shicheng's military system, and he does not need to consider the public relations image of his army and external propaganda, but he needs to be more concerned about the power and rights of the soldiers.
On this trip, Su Zedong suddenly felt unprecedented solemnity, what he needed to do was not only to maintain his position in front of Zhang Shicheng and others, but more importantly, to those team members who resisted the enemy on the battlefield and sacrificed their young lives, they should be recognized and respected.
With some temper and anger, Su Zedong walked to King Cheng's mansion with Liao Xingtian and his party.
When the things brought by the two shopkeepers of Dongxing Restaurant, that is, the good wine and food, were still being checked left and right by the family members of King Cheng's mansion, the burly shopkeeper who had been talking to Su Zedong and the others just followed the routine and began to formally recommend himself, saying: "Master Su, the villain has admired you for a long time, and I really want to do things under you." ā
"Hmm." Su Zedong nodded, paused deliberately, and said, "Aren't you also doing things in our Dongzhen Mansion now?" The development of Dongxing Restaurant is inseparable from the help of strong men such as you! ā
Without waiting for the burly man to say anything, Su Zhidong grabbed the moment his mouth opened, and said in a voice: "You are still young now, even if you don't go to the battlefield to confront the enemy head-on, there are still many opportunities to develop, follow the shopkeeper Zhang to work hard, there will be an unexpected harvest!" ā
