"Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan, one has some power in the port, and the other is a small leader in the salt drying field, both of them are considered to be local snakes, and their positions are also very critical positions, and the state capital has been watching them for a long time, so I think if these two people can be recruited and used by us, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless." Zhao Yongkang smiled and said his opinion, which was reasonable and well-founded, and it sounded like there was nothing to refute.

Ge Lao on the side smiled: "Lord Bookkeeper, this is a mistake. ”

"Why did Ge Lao say this?" Zhao Yongkang looked at Ge Lao with some surprise.

Ge Lao tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat, and said lightly: "Although these two people are in the fortress and are the head snakes, but the master bookkeeper, you are afraid that you have forgotten, these two people can climb to this point today, it is bound to be a little scheming. ”

Zhao Yongkang listened to Ge Lao's explanation, his eyebrows furrowed, he selfishly felt that Ge Lao's words were biased, that Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan, he actually knew a little, and felt that these two people's character was acceptable, otherwise he would have called the state capital to recruit them early.

Although these two people were not recruited by the state government, there was also a factor that once they entered the command of a certain person in the state capital, it was equivalent to standing in line, but more because they were worried that once they were recruited, they would be involuntary and would not be able to take care of their brothers, so Zhao Yongkang felt that there was no problem with two people with such a personality.

In fact, Zhao Yongkang attaches more importance to friendship a lot of times, otherwise he would not have taken the risk of sending supplies to the navy for so many years, but Ge Lao obviously forgot about this, or deliberately ignored this, and just said this possibility from a more realistic perspective.

Ge Lao naturally didn't mean to go against Zhao Yongkang, he actually just looked at things calmly, and was also worried that Xiao Xiantang would be like Zhao Yongkang, because of a victory, he felt how amazing his side was, and finally went wrong because of arrogance.

However, Ge Lao's worries are actually superfluous, Xiao Xiantang is proud enough, but he is also smart enough, so he is proud, but rarely arrogant.

"This official thinks that Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan can still be recruited." Xiao Xiantang said lightly.

Zhao Yongkang was a little happy when he heard this.

Ge Lao looked at Xiao Xiantang and was a little surprised: "My lord, are you really sure you want to recruit Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan?" ”

"That's right, this official decided to recruit Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan." Xiao Xiantang narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking that whether it was the port or the salt farm, these two places themselves were fortresses, and he would have to collect them sooner or later, but he had not had time recently, and he also knew that Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan had a high status in the hearts of those people, and if he disposed of these two people, it would inevitably be counterproductive.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, which is probably the truth.

However, if Xiao Xiantang was asked to just take Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan and put them in those two fortresses, Xiao Xiantang didn't think it was any good, because it was not his own person in the end, and there was always a centrifugation, so it was far from being safer than beating it down and then asking his own people to fill it in.

It's just that at this juncture, if there is a real fight, I am afraid that the snipe and the clam will fight, and the fisherman will profit, and the state capital will be cheapened in vain.

Therefore, we can only recruit Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Xiao Xiantang said to Zhao Yongkang.

Zhao Yongkang immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely handle this matter." ”

"Ge Lao, let's go too." Xiao Xiantang said again.

Zhao Yongkang and Ge Lao were both a little surprised, and they didn't know why Xiao Xiantang said that.

Xiao Xiantang glanced at the two of them and asked, "Is there a problem?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Yongkang and Ge Lao both shook their heads, in fact, neither of them was stupid, of course, they immediately understood that the reason why Xiao Xiantang let Ge Lao follow was actually to play a role in surveillance.

In Xiao Xiantang's opinion, although Zhao Yongkang knows Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan well, he is acting willfully, so it is more appropriate to let Ge Lao monitor Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan.

Of course, although this kind of surveillance is on the table, it is not completely public, so Zhao Yongkang, who is more familiar with Wu Changsheng and Chen Haihan, was also sent, which can be regarded as a combination of will.

After beating Zhao Yongkang and the others away, Xiao Xiantang looked at Mu Chonglan, and when he saw her eyes rolling straight away, he asked a little funny: "What are you thinking?" ”

Mu Chonglan didn't hide it, and said directly: "I'm thinking, I seem to know that Wu Changsheng." ”

"You know?" Xiao Xiantang was a little surprised.

Mu Chonglan nodded, and then told him about meeting Wu Changsheng when he went to see the embankment and send the windmill.

"You say, did he have the heart to join us at that time?" Mu Chonglan asked.

Xiao Xiantang thought for a while and nodded: "I think, he should have just thought about it at that time, but he didn't make up his mind, and after seeing your embankment and windmill, he made up his mind, found Zhao Yongkang and Yang Hao, and asked them to introduce him." ”

"You're right, I think so too." Mu Chonglan laughed, feeling a little hindsight.

Xiao Xiantang saw that she was laughing, and she laughed too, and she didn't tear her down.

"Xiao Xiantang, we're going to fight with pirates this time, right?" Mu Chonglan came to Xiao Xiantang's side, put his head on his shoulder, and saw that he didn't push himself away, so he climbed up the pole and sat in his arms, and found a comfortable place to nest.

Xiao Xiantang pulled his lips and smiled, not a kind of smile: "Pirates are nothing, the most troublesome thing is the state capital, the state capital's minions are too long, which is annoying." ”

"So you're going to break their minions, aren't you?" Mu Chonglan asked.

Xiao Xiantang said "um", and then added: "This is inevitable, after all, I don't like someone to put their hands on my territory and muddy the pool water on my side." ”

"Then can you promise me that everything is about safety?" Mu Chonglan looked at Xiao Xiantang seriously, she had memories of her previous life, knew that Xiao Xiantang would not die, and knew that he would make meritorious contributions, but she didn't know the details, because at this time in her previous life, she was in Dadu, and all the news was passed on to her by others, she still remembered that when Xiao Xiantang went back, her body was full of scars, which shows how dangerous this battle was.

Of course, knowing the danger, Mu Chonglan would not persuade Xiao Xiantang to escape, because if Xiao Xiantang wants to achieve a great cause, this battle is indispensable, so she can only persuade him to try to put safety first.
