Chapter 137: Xi Zhicai's Joining
The current atmosphere in Nanyang County has gradually changed, because there are a few relatively large moths who eat, drink and have fun all day, and they don't do their jobs, the first is Young Master Yuan, and the second is Sun Wentai, these two people and others really have nothing to do; Since he returned to Wancheng, in addition to teaching Yuan Yaoshu, the rest of his time is to deal with the affairs of the county, from large to small, dividing land, preparing military funds, trying prisoners, and dealing with various things of hooligans; There is no way, who told him to follow Master Yuan! Needless to say, what is the surname of Yuan Shu's goods, hard work really doesn't have that ability! If he doesn't get started, who will get it? Of course, Li, who has always believed in grieving others rather than wronging himself, still found a helper; For example, in the current documents, there are several small officials who write books, the first is Zhao Xiang, a Guangling man who once made a difficult situation for Li, and the officials in the county government, etc., and the leader is the one who was taught a lesson by Wang Yue; Most of these people are Yuan Shu's disciples, and they were settled down one by one after coming to Nanyang County, but unfortunately there are really few capable people among these people, they are all rice buckets with flowers on their mouths and scum in their hands, except for their profound learning, they really have no other ability; "Zhao Xiang! The guards in the palace know you very well! Li, who was sitting at the head of the case, was writing and painting while looking at the file, looking like he was single-minded, he sent Zhou Xiang to check that the guard who was on duty with him at night was very familiar with Zhao Xiang; Zhao Xiang, who was also writing a book below, shook his hand, sprinkled a puddle of ink on the bamboo slips, and smiled unnaturally: "En? What is Mr. Lee talking about? How can I not understand it? β
"I don't understand what your hands are shaking?" , Li Kai's expression remained unchanged and he didn't look at Zhao Xiang, it was precisely because of his careless appearance that Zhao Xiang panicked even more, as early as when Li first arrived in Yuan's mansion, they were still thinking about suppressing newcomers, but unfortunately they were not destined to stand at a height, suppress? Are you enough?
"I didn't shake my hands!" , Zhao Xiang continued to smile, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, he was still a little smart, Li raised his eyelids: "If your hand is not shaking, why is there such a puddle of ink on your book?" It can be seen that you are panicked! β
The distance between Li Kai and Zhao Xiang is not very far, and there is also a zhang, and Zhao Xiang is sitting under Li Kai, which means that Li Kai can't see Zhao Xiang's books at all, and there are other books on his desk to cover it! Why did Li raise so much? Actually, he guessed! That's just nonsense!
Zhao Xiang suddenly sweated profusely, Li knew that he was guessing blindly, but Zhao Xiang didn't know! Zhao Xiang became more and more flustered, and his mouth was very bitter: "You shouldn't chew the root of your tongue under the bottom, and I hope that Mr. Li has a lot of it!" β
After speaking, Zhao Xiang knelt on the ground, it was obvious that he thought that Li Kai wanted to count the new and old hatreds together, and kill him, Li Kai just pouted, stood up, and looked at him condescendingly: "Zhao Xiang!" I just laughed at what you said this time, and I didn't pay attention to the past! β
Zhao Xiang bowed: "Mr. benevolence!" Big-minded! Under less than 1 in 10,000! ", "But", Li is a person, but, Zhao Xiang's face turned a little pale; "Don't be nervous! Twenty Scepters must hit you! Here's a lesson! This time you said that I was divorced, next time do you want to say who I colluded with? Do you want to say that Master Mao and General Ji collaborated with the enemy? There are some things that can't be said casually, they will kill people! β
Li Kai walked down the steps to help Zhao Xiang up, pounced the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with suffering a little!" Zhao Xiang, you are a smart person, you are also very practical than others, as long as you guard against arrogance and rashness, do practical things, do the right thing, you will become a great tool! Go ahead! Twenty scepters! β
Zhao Xiang's face was red, and his eyes were red, what does it mean to repay grievances with virtue? That's it! Zhao Xiang bowed very movingly, didn't say a word, walked out, and after a while, the crackling sound sounded, Zhao Xiang was a tough guy, he was stunned and didn't say a word, and after the fight, he entered the county government, looking like he was handling business as usual; Li Kai nodded and praised: "It seems that you have comprehended a lot of things!" Congratulations! I will recommend you to Yuan Gong to be the county governor of Nanyang County! ", Jun Cheng is the adjutant of Taishou, commonly known as the second-in-command, Zhao Xiang's ability is very good, both he and Yuan Shu are very busy in the next period of time, Zhao Xiang is a good candidate;" Mr. Xie's promotion! Remember the bottom of your heart! Zhao Xiang grinned and said, it's still not easy to be a tough guy, this back really fucking hurts! He is only the kind of spine cane that he is beaten lightly, and if he uses that kind of punishment for the men in the army, his small body will not be able to stand up in his life in less than ten strokes; "You deserve it! Don't thank me, if you want to thank Yuan Gong! Of course, it is the most important thing to deal with the affairs of Nanyang County! Li Kai smiled and beckoned to Le who was patrolling in the distance, this product is different from Zhao Xiang, it belongs to the goods with a bit of a second brain; Because Wang Yue beat him, and it was similar to humiliation, he was still very angry, and he couldn't see the black eyeballs when he saw Li's eyes, and he arched his hand crookedly, even if he was saluting, his face was unruly; Li sneered twice, wanting to step on others as stepping stones, but he was stepped on, and he was still obsessed, such people are really damned! Kill him! Thinking about it, I don't think it's appropriate, Nanyang County is very short of talents now!
Although Le has a bit of a second brain, at least he is a warrior who can fight five, and it is a little inappropriate to kill him in vain, but it is also very difficult to arrange him to do something, patting his head, Li Kai said: "Le, do you plan to be a small official for the rest of your life?" β
"Even if I am a small official, I will never give in to you!" , Le's head is held high, his pride is abnormal, his grandmother's give you a little sunshine, you are brilliant, isn't it? Li Mou tapped the case:
"I didn't mean that either! You were humiliated in front of everyone, and you deserved it, but since you know that Yuan Gong doesn't like you very much, but you still stay, I admire this loyalty, if you don't want to be a small official for the rest of your life, then I'll give you a chance! Prove your own ability and prove it to Yuan Gong! You are a useful person! β
Le lowered his head, his expression was uncertain, he really didn't want to do this kind of work as a servant and street patrol for the rest of his life, didn't everyone have their own revenge? After thinking about it, Le looked a lot more respectful, and bowed his hand with a correct attitude: "I am willing to prove myself!" β
"Good!" , Li Kai nodded: "I remember that you should know water, right?" I have a letter here, take it to Fuyang County, go to Huang Zhong or Ji Ling, give him this letter, he will understand what I am going to do! β
Le took the book and ran away without looking back, Li Kai smiled and shook his head, the content of his letter was very simple, just told Huang Zhong that with Zhou Tai as the main general, Le would be his deputy, and let the two of them recruit fishermen and bandits to train the navy; At the same time, he also told Zhou Tai in the letter that he should contact the water bandits across the Yangtze River, and Gan Ning and Jiang Qin would see if they were willing to give in here; The curtain of the times has been opened, so what is the most important thing in the new era? -- Talent! With talents, there is a backbone, whether it is a civilian team or a soldier army, someone needs to lead, and these outstanding people are the backbone; I didn't know where my thoughts had flown to, and a report from the guards came from outside the door: Yuan Shao's messenger from Bohai had arrived, and a letter was handed to Yuan Gong, who was furious after reading it, and came to ask Mr. to come over to discuss the matter; Handing over the matter in his hand to Zhao Xiang, Li Mouren smiled: "There are few good talents among Yuan Gong's disciples, and those who are talented can stay, you understand if they eat and wait for death!" It's up to you here, don't let me down! β
Zhao Xiang nodded respectfully yes, and sent Li out of the gate of the county government, and did not go back until the other party was far away, and smart people are smart people!
"Cough cough cough", before entering the gate of the Yuan Mansion, he heard a series of coughing sounds, coughing very badly, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, Li Mouren frowned and walked in leisurely: "Yuan Gong!" β
A sick man in shabby clothes, weak, sallow-faced and constantly coughing caused the rise of Li, and the other party also looked at Li with blazing eyes, and finally held up the cough, his chest and abdomen continued to rise and fall, and he looked very uncomfortable; All the way from Bohai to Nanyang County, the time spent is naturally indispensable, and the tired drama only feels that he is about to fall apart, and regrets his youth and debauchery, so that he tortures himself to the way he is now; Yuan Shao is disappointing, so what about Yuan Shu? It just makes Xi Zhicai desperate, a thirty-year-old man, very naΓ―ve, as a county guard, not only is he not diligent in political affairs, but he drinks with people in broad daylight, but the one who drinks with him, heroic, amazing!
Li Kai's smiling appearance made Xi Zhicai somewhat interested, Young Master Yuan didn't handle political affairs by himself, so he had to rely on it! This Li Kai and Li Xiaoxian had heard his name a long time ago, and Yuan Shao was also very wary of him; "I don't know what Mr. is, and where he lives? Can you have a wife's room? Is the high hall there? ", a series of questions, Xi Zhi was stunned, this person's behavior is a little weird! After coming in, he didn't ask Yuan Shu, who was the lord, what was going on, but asked himself first, could it be that his domineering side leaked and shocked him? Or does he have a special hobby?
Xi Zhicai's heart was very confused, but he still smiled reluctantly and replied: "In Xiayingchuan, Xi Zhong, Zi Zhicai!" Originally, he returned to his hometown from Lord Yuan, the Taishou of Bohai, and it was also a letter sent by the way! β
"Yay! Yingchuan is a good place! I've heard of Brother Zhicai's name for a long time! Hahaha! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Yuan Gong! Why can't you even give up a table in front of the countryman? Li's greeting warmly, as if he saw a brother who had been separated for many years; Yuan Shu saw Li Kai winking at him vigorously, and hurriedly got up in his heart, and slammed it to the end: "The sage is in front of him, and he turns a blind eye, it's really damned!" I apologize to Mr. Drama here! I hope you will forgive me! β
Xi Zhicai didn't seem to have looked at him directly when he sent the letter, so he just let him stand in the hall in a daze, deaf to him, and his attitude was very cold, who would have thought that the difference between the changes was too fucking powerful, right?
"Yuan Gong don't blame himself, a certain talent is not a scholar or a sage, please hurry up!" , Xi Zhicai hurriedly helped Yuan Shu up, Master Yuan can't do anything else, this set of methods to win people is very slippery, thanks to Li Kai forcing him to learn this knowledge, otherwise, he wouldn't even know this; Climb up the pole, put down your proud posture, Corporal Lixian, modest, you must be modest, enthusiastic, you must be enthusiastic These are some of the key points to win people over, so Yuan Shu grabbed Xi Zhicai's hands, dragged him to the small couch beside him, helped him to do it, and poured the wine in person, don't say anything, the feelings are deep!
Not to mention Xi Zhicai, even Sun Jian, who was drinking with Yuan Shu, was dumbfounded, which one is this Young Master Yuan playing? That's fucking slippery, isn't it? It is said that Li Xiaoxian is very good at using people, is this middle-aged sick man really so powerful?
The brave fierce self is, so is the son, all the subordinates are all, we can just send such a strategist who can make good decisions to join the gang, and the eyes of the fierce general brother who watched the drama for a while were really like a tiger who saw sheep, and his saliva flowed out; "Brother Wentai! What are you drooling about? Li picked up the letter on Yuan Shu's table, and said by the way, Sun Jian hurriedly took back his pig brother look, and looked at Li Kai with flashing eyes, if you want to benefit from Yuan Shu, you must first pass Li Kai's level, and he also understands this, so he is entangled again; Ignoring Sun Jian, Li Kai read Yuan Shao's letter seriously, and felt that he was not careful enough to read it several times, so he came to a conclusion Yuan Benchu is really a master who gives a little sunshine!
There was a faint tone of the alliance leader in the letter, ordering Yuan Shu to get rid of the three heroes of the southern royal family, and let them provide food to support the princes to raise troops, in short, he wanted Yuan Shu to be the villain, to be the first bird, and he would enjoy fame and fortune in the back; There are also five thousand war horses used to trade between them, which have also been raised, and they will be sent over soon, so that Yuan Shu will not break his word and get fat, remembering the agreement between the two sides Li Kai shook his head, and thought it was a big deal, no problem at all!
What Nanyang County lacks most now is food, and it is a good time to take this opportunity to make more money, even if it is a little notorious, what is it? Besides, it doesn't have to be their backs! The letter asking the three southern heroes to hand over grain also arrived; These three letters are a collection of the signatures of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and the content of the letters is also soft and hard, and the rhetoric is gorgeous.
With a smile on his face, he walked to Yuan Shu, who was giving Xi Zhicai a warm greeting, and Li asked Master Yuan with a smile: "This is the letter that Yuan Gong is worried about?" β
Young Master Yuan nodded: "Yuan Shao and I are brothers, but in fact, he can't tolerate me!" He is instructing me to be the first bird, and when the time comes, the three members of the Liu clan will regard me as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, but he is hiding behind to gain a great reputation, it's not that I don't want to."
Li Kai raised his eyebrows, handed Yuan Shao's two letters to Xi Zhicai, and motioned him to take a look, Xi Zhicai understood that this was an examination school, and if he wanted to gain a foothold here, he had to show his talents and learning, and glanced at Li Kai gratefully, he knew that it was Li who was giving him the opportunity to show; After reading the two letters with a solemn expression, Xi Zhicai raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "The key is how to make the other party passable, and he can also be willing to produce food and grass, others don't say Yizhou Liu Yan, occupy the natural danger, he won't be afraid of threatening him, and Yuan Gong's worries are actually trivial!" β
"Oh? Can you elaborate on Mr. Drama? Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, because he saw that Li Mouren also nodded in agreement, and knew that Li Mouren must have thought of going out with this drama zhi; Xi Zhicai: "It's very simple, Yuan Shao is too popular, and Yuan Gong has been very low-key recently, plus some bad reviews in the past, they will only treat Yuan Gong as cough cough, what, they won't think that Yuan Gong is the mastermind behind the scenes!" β
What Enxi Zhicai means is that everyone knows that Yuan Shu is not a capable person, at most he is Yuan Shao's accomplice, so their spearhead will only be pointed at the big one and not Yuan Shu, and only Yuan Shu needs to pretend to be unwilling and pitiful to be bullied
"Haha! What the gentleman said is right! Right! Good! Yuan Mou's mouth suddenly opened! When the float is white! Yuan Shu slapped the table happily, and then said, "Mr. Xi was famous in the past?" Or can you be an official? β
As soon as he asked this, Xi Zhicai's face was not very good-looking, and he sighed, Yuan Shao was also very happy when he talked to him, but when he learned that he was not a member of a big family and had not done anything, his face changed at that time, could it be that Yuan Shu "played a certain white body!" β
"White body", the three words in front of Yuan Shu really made Xi Zhicai's heart twitch, maybe he didn't mean to find any wise and martial lord in his heart, he just wanted to find someone who could look down on him to assist, and he didn't care about his family and the like Yuan Shu did it, so that his eyes were red; "Sir, so talented! No one cares! I can't even raise filial piety, those dog officials are really blind, if it weren't for the changes in the world, I'm afraid that Yuan would not have the opportunity to meet Mr. If Mr. doesn't dislike it, how about being a master bookkeeper with me? No matter how big this official is, I can't give it to you! β
Yuan Shu said very sincerely, and after the indignant shouting, he really invited Xi Zhicai to join the gang, this non-hypocritical style won the favor of Xi Zhicai, and the tearful Xi Zhicai respectfully gave Yuan Shu a salute: "Meet - the lord!" β
Huai Cai didn't meet, and the cold-eyed Xi Zhicai finally found someone who appreciated him, he didn't care how clumsy Yuan Shu's performance was, all he wanted was this sincerity and kindness! Very good! He enjoyed the respect!
Sun Wentai, who was delaying his departure, opened his mouth to say something, but found that he had nothing to say, this is not his own territory, nor is he the boss, so he can only sigh secretly in his heart - Yuan Shu is lucky again!
"Hahaha! Congratulations to Yuan Gong, congratulations to Yuan Gong! And with the help of the virtuous! Li Mouren said with a smile, this is the result he wants to see, and finally someone can share the pressure for him, but it's a pity that Xi Zhicai's body is a little bad; The banquet continued, but two people were added, during the banquet, Li Kai and Xi Zhicai talked to each other about their views on the current situation, Xi Zhicai is a person who does not talk much but has incisive sentences, every time he sees blood, he is very sharp, and the two sides talk very happily; It's useless to just talk about this, Li directly pulled Xi Zhicai to talk about how to prepare grain and grass, so that Xi Zhicai finally realized what it means to pay attention
