Yu turned and smiled disdainfully, turned and left. Wei Xiu was furious and was following up, but Lu Ji grabbed him and said to him very earnestly: "Mr. Zhongxiang is a good intention, don't be ignorant." After speaking, he glanced at Wei Xiu seriously, and his eyes clearly said that you cherish yourself, and then walked forward proudly. Wei Xiu was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh: "When did Lu Gongji also arrive at the General Shogunate?" ”

Wei Boyang was stunned, looking at the gunpowder arrow in his hand, his expression was very solemn. Wei Xiu was suddenly a little worried, what Yu Yu said wouldn't be true, right?

"The most dangerous thing in alchemy is to blow up the ding and burn the house...... It's normal. ”

Wei Xiu gasped. No wonder my brother has been reluctant to stay at home, it turns out that it is really dangerous.

Wei Boyang's face was a little weird: "Could it be that Ge Xuan has solved the problem of exploding Ding?" Then I am indeed inferior to him. ”

"Brother, then this gunpowder arrow ......" Wei Xiu pointed hesitantly, a little reluctant: "Do you still want to try?" ”

"Don't worry, wait until I go back and take a look at it and study the ingredients inside, maybe it's not as serious as he said." Wei Boyang's words were very unconfident, and Wei Xiu was even more unconfident when he heard it. He didn't care about the problem of studying gunpowder arrows with Wei Boyang, so he hurriedly rushed up to participate in the reception banquet held for Sun Shao.

After the banquet, Sun Shao withdrew, and Yu Fu negotiated with the Huiji family on his behalf to discuss matters related to their sending people to Zhuya to set up a point. After listening to Yu Xuan's introduction to Zhu Ya and Yue Nan, they were all a little moved, but they did not make a decision immediately, but prepared to send someone to Zhu Ya to see the situation. After all, Zhu Ya is just a desert island in their impression, except for pirates and barbarians, how many business opportunities there are, they can't just rely on Yu to turn over empty mouths and white teeth, and if they don't see real profits, these people will not start.

Yu Fu and Sun Shao had already expected it, but they were not in a hurry, they did not see the rabbit and did not scatter the eagle psychology He knew very well, but he knew the foundation of Zhu Ya and Yuenan, and Sun Shao's determination to manage the South China Sea was also clear, he had already made a decision, and felt that while these people were still hesitating, they should start as soon as possible, and the opportunity should not be lost, and the time would not come again, this is the most talked about in the Book of Changes.

On the one hand, there are some doubts that Yu Flip will be digging a pit to lure them to jump, and on the other hand, they are also afraid that it is really an opportunity but the Yu family has taken the lead, and after discussion, they decided to immediately send someone to the South China Sea to find out the truth, if it is indeed as Yu Flip said, they can't be left behind, let the Yu family take advantage of it in vain, the last time a few companies shared the trade route business in the South China Sea, Yu Flip because of his merit, has taken advantage of the boss.

After Sun Shao retired, he came to visit. Sun Shao has heard of Chun Yu Shi, because he once accused Lu Xun of taking the people as soldiers in vain, Lu Xun is Sun Quan's favorite minister, of course his denunciation will not be over, and Lu Xun will also be a man, and later praised him in front of Sun Quan, and was called an elder by Sun Quan.

Chun Yushi has received Sun Quan's order, Sun Shao's Aurora sailors will be stationed in Qiantangkou for a period of time in the future, and the wealthy merchants of Huiji County will be responsible for the repair of his warship, which is a good thing for Huiji County, because he can receive more taxes, on the other hand, it is also a test, these families may rely on Sun Shao's strength to put pressure on him to obtain more benefits, and suppressing Haoqiang is also one of Taishou's duties. A county must have a powerful family, so that when something happens, he can find help, on the other hand, it can't be too strong, so strong that he can't do it if he is too guarded, then things will be reversed. So he rushed to meet Sun Shao as soon as possible, wanting to get support from him.

As soon as Sun Shao met, he praised Chun Yushi: "The Ming Mansion is what the people think, not afraid of the strong, and the brother-in-law Lu Boyan is full of praise when he talks about the Ming Mansion." ”

Chun Yushi smiled bitterly and said modestly: "Where the duty lies, I have to do it." Lu Boyan has the style of an elder, and he is also very admired. ”

Sun Shao smiled: "Then the Ming Mansion came today, is it also for the people to ask for orders?" ”

Chun Yushi nodded and said his concerns. Sun Shao listened quietly, and finally said to Chun Yushi: "Please rest assured, although my Sun Shao is young and ignorant, I still know this rule, no matter which family it is, no matter what their relationship with me is, I will not favor them." ”

Chun Yushi was relieved and thanked again and again. Sun Shao said again: "It just so happens that I also have something I want to discuss with the Ming Mansion, so I'll just say it." After Jiaozhou was pacified, although the plague of piracy was not eradicated, the situation has improved. In the future, there will be a lot of businessmen who come to Qiantangkou, I took a look at it today, the wharf is a little too nervous, I'm afraid it will not be enough, while they are now going to expand the scale of the shipyard, is the Ming Mansion discussing with each family, Suo surname to repair the wharf well? The people are naturally responsible for the Ming government, and the wages can be opened from the military expenses, and then paid by each family, anyway, they will have to use it in the future, even if it is a temporary loan, and it can be deducted from the tax later. ”

Chun Yushi nodded again and again, repairing the wharf and Qingshui Road is indeed beneficial and harmless, since Sun Shao is taking the lead, why is he not happy. At the moment, he was full of promises, and got up and left with satisfaction, and met Yu Flip head-on, Chun Yushi's face tightened, and he subconsciously avoided it to the side and gave a salute. Yu turned back the salute, Chun Yushi glanced at him with some surprise, but Yu turned over and passed by. Chun Yushi shook his head with a smile and walked out of the door quickly.

Yu Xuan didn't pay attention to Chun Yushi at all, walked in front of Sun Shao, bent down, and said softly: "General, someone from the He family in Shanyin has come to see you." ”

"The He family?" Sun Shao pondered for a moment: "Is it the new capital Taishou, General Anton He Qihe Gongmiao?" ”

Yu shook his head, nodded again, and looked at Sun Shao intently: "It's not He Gongmiao, it's his eldest son He Da He Bozhi." General, do you want to see you? If you don't want to see him, I'll go out and say that the general is resting. ”

Sun Shao didn't answer him immediately. He Qi and Yu Tuo are different from these people, Yu Tuo they have family wealth, fame, and are the Wang clan of Huiji, but they all have a common characteristic, they are not in charge of soldiers, and He Qi has tens of thousands of Shanyue elite soldiers in his hands, Xindu County is Sun Quan set aside for him to raise soldiers, it can be said that Xindu County is He Qi's Reading Kingdom. His identity in Jiangdong is transcendent, and in Sun Shao's opinion, he has long been a thorn in Sun Quan's eyes. It is very risky to have a relationship with him.

But Sun Shao thought about it, he was now at a great risk, from the day he decided to survive with strength, he and Sun Quan went to the opposite side, and now if he hesitates, not only will it be impossible for Sun Quan to relax his vigilance against him, but it will make the existing strength dissipate. He Qi is in a similar situation, and he must be looking for an ally, not just a business partner.

There are many lice and no worries, and there are many debts, since this is the case, what is there to hesitate, He Qi is not a thief, he is just like himself, he just wants to keep his vested interests.

"Invite him in." Sun Shao waved his hand and put down the teacup in his hand.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yu's eyes, and he turned to go out, and after a short time, he led a gorgeously dressed young man in, and introduced with a smile: "General, this is He Bozhi (He Da), the eldest son of He Anton (He Qi), I heard that the general is famous, and I came to visit. ”

Sun Shao looked at He Da, who was about thirty years old, of medium height, broad shoulders, with a thick waist and abdomen, wearing a cotton robe with crimson and dark lines, and a large black crown on his head. When Sun Shao looked at him, he was also looking Sun Shao up and down, the two stared at each other for a moment, and Sun Shao couldn't help but smile in the end.

"Brother He came today, is it to be the size of my eyes?"

He Da also smiled, and he arched his hand: "I heard that the general has a style of rebelling against the general, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." Da was rude just now, and asked the general for forgiveness. ”

Sun Shao smiled: "Brother He, father and son are all famous generals in Jiangdong, and I have also admired the name for a long time, but I didn't have the opportunity to see him." I don't know if Brother He is here, is he just trying to see my Sun Shao, or is there something else going on? ”

Heda was a little embarrassed to speak. He Qi has been a ruthless character since he was young, he has clear grievances, he has a good family background, strong strength, and interests in wars, and he thinks very highly of himself, and ordinary people are not in his eyes at all. He originally had no interest in Sun Shao, and felt that Sun Shao, as Sun Ce's son, would only compromise and seek perfection, unlike what a man did, and he was destined to be a dish in Sun Quan's hands in the future, and there would be no benefit, so the He family had no contact with Sun Shao. Last time, Sun Shao unexpectedly surrendered Su Thick Leg in the East China Sea, He Qi still didn't move, until Sun Shao sent troops to the South China Sea, broke Cui Qian in a few months, and made the Shi family embarrassed, he felt that Sun Shao was a little interesting, and his methods were quite in line with his appetite, so he sent He Da to see Sun Shao.

There is also a reason why Heda was sent. He Da followed He Qi to fight when he was a teenager, and his martial arts skills are good, and his ability to use soldiers is also quite He Qi's family heritage, but his temper is not good, he inherited He Qi's toughness and surpassed it, offended his boss when Sun Quan was a lang, and when he led the troops to fight outside, he did not listen to orders many times and acted without authorization, so although there were many meritorious contributions, he was always not promoted, and he was in his thirties, he was still a small captain, and his younger brother He Jing was already a captain. He Qi felt that if he continued to mix like this, he would not have any future, so he asked him to come to Sun Shao to try it, because he heard that Sun Shao's temper was different from Sun Quan, and he was as tolerant as Sun Ce, and even people like Zhang Zhao and Yu Chuan could accept it, so He Da should be able to accept it.

Of course, He Da knows He Qi's thoughts, but he can't say this, could it be that he can't get along with other places, so he came to join you, the general? He glanced at Yu with some embarrassment, and Yu smiled: "Bozhi has the style of his father, and he is very fierce in combat. ”

Sun Shao understood, this kid is not only fierce in battle, but he is afraid that his temper is also as bullish as He Qi, and he will be lame under Sun Quan. Sun Quan has the capacity to tolerate people, but his temper is also hard, and he doesn't like those who are also hard-tempered, so Zhang Zhao, Yu Tuo, and Lu Ji are not favored, and this Heda should be the same.

"Where has Brother He fought all these years?" Sun Shao invited He Da to sit down and asked straight to the point.

"I have been fighting with my father and Yamagoe all these years." Heda said very politely, but the arrogance in his eyes still couldn't be hidden, "I'm ashamed, I'm born with a shortage of intelligence, so I don't have much credit, and I'm still just a captain." ”

"Fighting Shanyue? Then Brother He should be very familiar with mountain warfare? Sun Shao took a sip of tea and asked lightly.

"I don't dare to say that I am familiar, but I know a little."

"In that case, I have a place to go, I don't know if the general is willing to give in."

He Da was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this person was really straight, without any detours, and he didn't know where he would arrange himself. He thought about his situation, hesitated for a moment, and said ruthlessly: "Dare to ask the general for orders, as long as you can do it, you are willing to serve the general." ”

"Zhu Ya initially decided that although the pirates were basically cleared, the mountain people had not had time to clean them up. I am worried that after a period of operation, more and more merchants will come and go to Zhuya, and the barbarians in the mountains will not be able to resist the temptation, so I need a person who fights through the mountains to guard the town. Sun Shao straightened up and looked at He Da very calmly: "If Brother He has a heart, I can be the supreme of Shangshu, and please be the county lieutenant of Zhuya." ”

Heda was very disappointed, he was just a county lieutenant for a long time, it was better to be a lieutenant now, he wanted to refuse without thinking, but he remembered his intentions, will this make Lao Tzu unhappy? No matter what the He family says, it is also a very important family, how can Sun Shao send me so easily? If you want to say that he doesn't know how to use people, but madmen like Yu Fu and Lu Ji are like fish in water under him, and the big clans of Kong Wei and Zhousheng are also full of praise for him, and even Wei Du Wei Boyang, who has always ignored people, has a good attitude towards him, so why can't he get his attention? Could it be that he was born to be a captain?

Sun Shao looked at He Da without blinking, seeing all the changes in his face. In his previous life, he lurked in the office for several years, and he has seen a lot of tragicomedies more or less, and knows that most of the talented people have a big temper, and whether the person in charge of an enterprise can succeed often does not depend on how much ability he has, but on how big his belly is, and whether he can tolerate those subordinates who have the ability and temper. Of course, when it comes to belly, it doesn't mean that everyone has to endure it. As the saying goes, people are usually divided into four kinds, the best is the one who has the ability to have no temper, the worst is the one who has no ability and temper, these two kinds of people are rare, usually see more people who have the ability and temper, and those who have no ability and no temper, and the former is called talent, no matter how good the temper is no ability, what is the use?

Heda is obviously the kind of person who has the ability and temper, if such a person is used well, he is talented, if he is not used well, he is a black sheep. Relatively speaking, Su Thick Leg and Cui Qian are both this kind of people, and the reason why he insisted on attacking Xijuan City with three hundred people was that he didn't want them to be too presumptuous to be uncontrollable. He Da is good at mountain warfare, he is the best candidate for the lieutenant of Zhuya County, and he may be a good fighter with Funan and Linyi in the future, but these need to be done step by step, let him be the lieutenant of Zhuya County, just to give him a chance to familiarize himself with the environment of Jiaozhou, if He Da refuses to accept this process, then Sun Shao feels that he may not be applicable. Whether it is the Aurora Sailor or Zhu Ya, the men and horses under his command are already rudimentary, and it is sometimes not necessarily a good thing to suddenly parachute a senior officer from outside, even if this person is very talented. What he was even more worried about was that Cui Qian and Su Thick Legs were all from the bottom of the family, but He Da was a big family member of the Huiji clan, and if he had not shown any ability to take up positions such as lieutenant and lieutenant general, it would probably cause them to resent.

He Da thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to agree, anyway, go to Zhuya to stay for a while, if you are not satisfied, you can come back, in that case, at least his father He Qi will not have any ideas.

"Then I'll wronged you, and I will recommend you to the Supreme. The merchant ships of Huiji will go to the South China Sea very well, so you go home and pack up, and then go with you. After Sun Shao finished arranging, he excused himself and asked Yu to send He Da out. Yu flipped around outside and came back, and he said to Sun Shao: "General, He Gongmiao is a pivotal general in Jiangdong, and He Bozhi is also a capable general, why only give him a county lieutenant, is it too low?" ”

"Not really." Sun Shao shook his head: "Although he is more familiar with mountain warfare, he is not familiar with the environment of Zhuya, if I give him a Zhonglang general all of a sudden, not to mention that it is difficult for the Supreme to pass, even Shen Xuan and Wei Jing will be a little difficult to deal with." Zhuya is just a county, he is a Zhonglang will go over, does Wei Jing listen to him, or does he listen to Wei Jing? ”

"I understand the general's intentions, this is for his good, but the He family is from the Shanyin Wang clan, and he is the eldest son of the He family, so he can inherit the title without going to Zhuya, so ...... think about it."

Sun Shao looked at Yu Fang, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled meaningfully: "Then why did He Gongmiao send him to me?" Could it be that with him, General Anton, he can't give a lieutenant general? ”

Yu flipped and touched it, and felt that there was some reason, so he stopped persuading.

"Sir, don't worry, if Heda is really a good guy, he will definitely be promoted soon. Do you think that among our sailors, there are still few who have been promoted to lieutenant generals and lieutenants within a year? ”

"Hahaha......" Yu laughed, and there was another smugness in his attitude: "When I arrived under the general's account in May last year, it was just a 200-stone Jingxian county magistrate, and now I am a 2,000-stone post-general Changshi." In the past 30 years, he has never risen so fast. To follow the general is to be happy. ”

"That's what the gentleman deserves." Sun Shao smiled: "Mr. has long been a cavalry lieutenant who is more than two thousand stones, if it weren't for Mr. Straight Advice, how can two thousand stones be enough." ”

Yu Pan sighed. He knows his own situation best, he has worked under Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the situation is very different, although Sun Ce is not obedient to him, but he never accounts for his attitude, and Sun Quan is different, as he gradually gained a foothold in Jiangdong, his attitude also became tougher, and he could not tolerate people, just because a few words did not listen, he demoted him from the cavalry captain to the county of Jingxian County, without regard for his previous merits, which made him very disappointed. Now that he has arrived at Sun Shao's shogunate, Sun Shao is even more benevolent than his father Sun Ce, and he has finally found a master who is truly tolerant.
