Liu Yuanxiang took Ning Ze's suggestion and soon started all aspects of work.

It is normal to have doubts in your heart, but you are also ready to use this as a test of Ning Ze's ability, see what the result is, and then decide the degree of appointment for him in the future.

I just want to recuperate, but some people don't want to.

"It's not good to report a big ——!! The six counties of Juxian, Nanzheng, Tianhe, Tai'an, Changyang, and Loluo each sent 4,000 troops, and they are coming to Huajun, claiming to avenge Liu Bao, the commander of the cavalry, and Yin Li, the county seat!"

Liu Yuanxiang, who was inspecting the construction of the city's defense, was startled by the sudden emergency military situation, and hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to the official office to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that after the civil and military officials arrived, they found that the military advisor Ning Ze had not appeared for a long time.

"Where is the military advisor?" Liu Yuanxiang said urgently.

"Report!" the soldier in charge of asking Ning Ze to respond, "The military advisor is inviting the rich merchants in the city to drink in the restaurant. ”

"Drinking?" Liu Yuanxiang was a little speechless, "The soldiers and horses of the six counties are coming to Huajun, and the situation is critical!

"Whoa!"

Liang Teng and his four sons looked at each other, and they all felt outrageous.

I thought Ning Ze was quite reliable before, why did he suddenly drop the chain?

Several other civil and military officials at the scene were the same, with doubts in their hearts.

After a while, the soldier hurriedly returned to the official office: "Report! The military advisor said that there is no need to panic about such a trivial matter, and he had long expected that Liu Bao and Yin Li's henchmen would raise troops to take revenge, and wait for the local army to arrive." ”

"What?!" Liu Yuanxiang felt that he had invited the wrong person at this moment. A total of 24,000 soldiers and horses from the six counties slaughtered Xianghua County. This is no joke!

There are not enough soldiers and horses in Huajun City, and although the people support them and can come to their aid, how can ordinary people fight against the well-trained regular army? With only a few thousand soldiers and horses in the city, they are bound to suffer heavy losses once they fight!

Not only Liu Yuanxiang, but also Liang Teng's father and son felt that it was too exaggerated.

"Lord, the last general is willing to go to the restaurant to bring the military division back!" Liang Kai stood up and took the initiative to ask for his life.

"Then bother riding the captain!" Liu Yuanxiang was actually quite depressed, is this Ning Ze reliable?

Liang Kai hurried to the restaurant, and sure enough, Ning Ze was feasting on the rich businessmen and gentry in the city, chatting happily.

"Brother Liang, why are you here?" Seeing Liang Kai appear, Ning Ze smiled and beckoned, "Come, let's drink together!"

"Ning Juncheng, Ning Junshi!" Liang Kai was angry, "The soldiers and horses of the six counties are attacking, and the lord is urgently summoned, why are you still drinking here?"

"Don't hurry, the enemy won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. Ning Ze said with a smile, "I am discussing with you business tycoons about paper sales in the future, when the time comes, the best paper will be sold to the nobles at a high price, and the poor quality will be sold to the ordinary people at a low price, but this production line needs to be large enough and needs the full support of the business tycoons." ”

"The lord has ordered you not to go, what kind of system will it be?" Liang Kai said hurriedly, "It wasn't like this to serve my Liang family in the past!

"Am I that kind of person?" Ning Ze waved his hand and said, "Things have priorities, and this is a major matter at the moment, which is related to the important source of funds for our Huajun County in the future, and it is also to prepare for the capital to conquer the world! I'll take care of it when they arrive. You go back and tell the lord, what should everyone do, there is no need to be nervous!"

"Brother Ning, you ......"

"Either sit down and drink together, or hurry back to your life. This is really important, how can you fight the world without money and food, right?"

"You really don't want to go back with me?" asked Liang Kai.

"It's all said that this side is very important!"

"How can I not obey the lord's order? I have made a promise, even if I tie you up, I will tie you back!" Liang Kai was a little anxious.

As a result, just as he was about to get close to Ning Ze, he was carried by the ghost-faced general who had been waiting quietly next to him, and was taken directly outside the restaurant, prohibiting him from entering again.

Liang Kai was depressed, and after trying a few times, he couldn't break through the defense of the ghost-faced general, so he could only turn around and return to the official office, and reported to Liu Yuanxiang very shamelessly: "My lord, the lower official failed to bring back the military division, so I came to ask for the guilt!"

"What is this kid doing?" Liang Teng got up, "That's it! I'll go for it." ”

"No need!" Liu Yuanxiang looked at Liang Kai, "What did the military advisor say?"

"My lord, the military advisor is discussing the sale of paper with the wealthy merchants in the city, and he says that it is extremely important. ”

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and the workshop hasn't done it yet, so he will discuss the matter of sales?" Liang Teng's expression was strange, "Can this matter be more important than the enemy army in the six counties?"

"This ...... He said that the troops of the six counties will arrive tomorrow at the earliest, and they will deal with it at that time. Liang Kai replied depressedly, "He also said that everyone can do whatever they should do, and there is no need to be nervous." ”

"This, this...... Anyway, it's a bit excessive, isn't it?" Liang Ling said, "He didn't obey the lord's orders......"

"Yes, as a courtier, it shouldn't be like this!" Liang nodded.

The civil and military officials whispered, and they were all a little dissatisfied with Ning Ze.

Liang Teng also felt that his behavior was inappropriate, no matter what, he should respect the lord, and he couldn't be so arrogant just because the lord was kind.

Liu Yuanxiang was helpless, and it was certain that he was unhappy in his heart. No matter how you say it, can't you respect yourself? What is the difference between him and Liu Bao and Yin Li?

But after thinking about it, Liu Bao and Yin Li were completely in control of the power, and they didn't give themselves any plug-in. Ning Ze will meddle in all kinds of things, but in the end, he will leave it to himself to decide, and it is different to say.

It's just that after all, there is some disrespect for himself, how can the lord summon him, and the courtiers are still drinking with others outside.

"Forget it, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Yuanxiang sighed and looked around at the civil and military ministers.

"Lord, the soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth! Liu Bao and Yin Li's henchmen rebelled, this is expected!" Liang Ling said, "Now our army can only be prepared and ready to fight at any time!"

"What's the difference between this and what the military advisor said? It's not about waiting for the enemy to arrive before making a decision. Zhao Qing said with a smile.

"......" Liang Ling was speechless.

"Now that our forces are insufficient, it is impossible for us to take the initiative to attack and intercept them on the way. Liang Teng thought for a while, "I can only prepare rolling stones, sassal wood, gold juice, and reject horses to ensure that the city defense is correct." ”

"Why don't you set up an ambush and catch them off guard?" Liang Yun proposed.

"Where to ambush, how many troops, when to attack?" Liang Kai asked.

"This ......" Liang Yun didn't know how to respond.

The civil and military officials on the scene discussed for a long time, but did not come up with a useful plan.

After all, in addition to Liang Teng, the following group of four sons, including Liang Teng, can all have wasted attributes.

Liu Yuanxiang was quite depressed, but there was no way, there were only these people under him, what could he do?

Turning his head to look at Liang Teng, this is the only reliable subordinate.

"My lord!" Liang Teng raised his hand to stop the civil and military officials from continuing to discuss meaninglessly, and said, "Judging from our current situation, it is indeed the most important thing to pay close attention to the construction of city defense, and strive to repair all the gaps before the arrival of the enemy army, so as to effectively resist it." ”

"In other words, is it still as the military advisor said?" asked Liu Yuanxiang.

"That's right!"

"Okay, then everyone go back and repair the city wall as soon as possible. ”

After the meeting ended, Liu Yuanxiang thought about it and decided to rush to the hotel in person.

When I came here, I happened to see Ning Ze sending a group of wealthy businessmen out, talking and laughing, and the relationship was harmonious.

The rich businessmen left one after another, Ning Ze turned around and found Liu Yuanxiang, and hurriedly came over and saluted: "Lord!"

"The military advisor finished drinking?"

"Lord, the lower official just invited someone to drink, and he never touched it. Ning Ze said with a smile, "The lord summoned him and failed to go, please forgive me!"

"This is the way of your monarch?" Liu Yuanxiang was dissatisfied.

"Lord forgive sins!" Ning Ze replied, "It is indeed a very important matter, and I can't leave for a while." ”

"No matter how important it is, can it be compared to the security of Huajun? The soldiers and horses of the six counties of Huajun rebelled, and they were about to come, but you are not in a hurry at all!"

"Lord, why don't you go to the restaurant and talk to you a few words?"

"Okay!" Liu Yuanxiang was not polite, and immediately entered the restaurant and came to the second floor under Ning Ze's package.

The two sat opposite each other, and Liu Yuanxiang spoke: "The military advisor said before that there must be honesty between monarchs and ministers. Ben Wang ...... The palace is very unhappy now, and feels that the military advisor does not respect the palace at all!"

"Thank you for your honesty!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "There is indeed something wrong with the lower officials today, and I ask for your understanding." It is only about important points, which are related to the important funds of our army in the future, and we must not be careless. ”

"I've heard about this, the paper mill has not yet been built, and the papermaking process is still not known if it can be successful, don't the military advisors feel a little in a hurry?" Liu Yuanxiang said solemnly, "Not to mention the rebellion of the soldiers and horses in the six counties, why is the military advisor so frivolous?"

"My lord, the matter of papermaking must be handled properly by the lower officials to ensure that the lord earns enough funds. Anything can be maximized as long as it is monopolized. However, if the lower officials know a little bit about the paper-making process, they will definitely make Huajun rich, and even take this opportunity to gradually upgrade it to an intermediate level, or even a large city! It is not impossible to build a giant city in the future! The lord takes this as his foundation, so what is the difficulty of competing for the world? As for the soldiers and horses of the six counties, the lower officials will break it for the lord!

"To put it simply, that's 24,000 soldiers and horses, far more than our army!" Liu Yuanxiang asked, "Do you want this king to gather the people to meet ......the enemy?"

"Don't worry, the lord! When the enemy arrives tomorrow, the subordinate will deal with it, and the lord will never be worried!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Do what you want!"

"In other words, there is no way to do it?"

"The lord can't trust the lower officials, but have you forgotten the previous agreement between the monarch and the minister?" Ning Ze said with a smile, "If the lord can't trust the lower officials, the lower officials can only resign! If the lord can be trusted, he only needs to sit in the city and watch the lower officials defeat the enemy!"

"Okay! The king of Ming Japan wants to see how the military division will deal with the soldiers and horses of the six counties, and I hope that the military division will not live up to the trust of this king!"

"My lord, you'd better pay more attention to your verbal habits. Of course, Xia Guan also knows that the habits of more than ten years are not so easy to change. It still needs a lot of effort!"
