With the cooperation of Wei Dingguo, the leading party, Zhu Long easily captured Lingzhou, occupied the state government, and controlled the city gate.

However, Zhu Long soon couldn't be happy - because after the looting and counting, the Lingzhou Mansion Treasury was empty, and the total amount of grain, cloth, and silver was only 80,000 taels, which was not as good as Chao Gai robbing a birthday gang.

Zhu Long was very depressed and asked people to bring Qi Zhizhou.

Qi Zhizhou cried with a sad face, Zhu Long did not abuse him, but was just placed under house arrest in his residence and was not allowed to go out.

When he came to the door of the treasury, he saw Zhu Long with a gloomy face, standing there, not daring to go over, and was pushed by the soldiers in custody before he took a few steps forward.

"The dignified treasury of a state, the money and grain are less than 80,000 taels, are they all embezzled by you?" Zhu Long shouted.

Qi Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Wronged, king!" Just after the autumn tax, they were all transported to Tokyo by the transshipment of adults, plus ...... Coupled with the fact that the army went out on the expedition and consumed a lot of grain and grass, there was already a lot of money left in the treasury! Most state capitals are in deficit! ”

Qin Ming, who had been following Zhu Long's side, said in a low voice: "He didn't lie, Qingzhou Murong old thief, after the autumn tax every year, there are no rats in the treasury!" ”

Zhu Long waved his hand helplessly, asked Qi Zhizhou to take away, and turned his head to Qin Ming: "Old Qin, load these silver coins and cloth silk into the car, take away half of the grain, and distribute the other half to the people tomorrow." ”

Zhu Hu exclaimed in distress: "Big brother, your hand is a bit big!" We worked hard for hundreds of miles, and finally got some food, but you distributed it to the people! You don't know the people of Lingzhou! ”

Zhu Long didn't refute, looked at Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Shi Wengong, and Lu Fang who were following him, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Ming said with a smile: "It's okay to distribute it to the common people, 10,000 stone of grain requires five hundred mule carts, how can we have so many carts?" ”

"The lord's behavior reminded me of the story of Feng Chen's debt collection!" Lin Chong bowed slightly.

Zhu Long smiled when he heard this, Lin Chong is really good at talking, patting sycophants invisibly, and he is indeed a Confucian general.

"What's the story? Can you tell me about it? Zhu Hu liked to listen to stories very much, and Shi Wengong and Lu Fang also looked at Lin Chong and hurriedly pricked up their ears.

Zhu Long kicked Zhu Hu and scolded with a smile: "If you don't learn, you can't do anything!" Go back and read a good book! ”

Lin Chong explained with a smile: "In the pre-Qin period, Meng Yanjun's disciple Feng Tan went to the fief to collect debts, and Feng Tan saw that the people who owed money were poor people, so he announced in the name of Meng Yanjun that the debts were written off and the IOUs were burned in front of the people!" After he went back, Meng Weijun asked him what he had bought and came back, and Feng Tan said, I bought 'Renyi' for you. ”

After Lin Chong finished speaking, Zhu Hu and Lu Fang were still confused, only Shi Wengong looked thoughtful.

"What do you think?" Zhu Long's gaze fell on Shi Wengong and asked with a smile.

He values Shi Wengong very much, and with him, one is to get closer to him and cultivate his loyalty, and the other is to observe his character and ability.

As a leader, the most important thing is to know and employ people, put the people under him in the right position, and play the greatest role.

If it is not used by people, it will have serious consequences.

But the most difficult thing is to recognize people.

Everyone will disguise themselves, and only the wisest superiors can see the essence of a person.

Zhu Long never felt that he was very wise, he always thought that he was just a very ordinary person, only mediocre, in the previous life such an enlightened and tolerant, full of opportunities in the era, he did not get ahead, why did he become shrewd and sophisticated in ancient times, exquisite, and loved by everyone?

Just with that advanced knowledge? There is a saying that is good - one step ahead is a genius, ten steps ahead is a madman. Da Vinci didn't dare to let people know about so many advanced inventions!

The ancients were not NPCs, their wisdom should not be underestimated, and those who could make a name for themselves in this difficult world were definitely the elite of the elite in the future generations.

Therefore, Zhu Long continued to study, learning to practice guns and arrows during the day, and studying the art of war and history books at night.

The history of China is the story of emperors and generals, from which we can figure out how they behaved, learn from their wisdom, and learn the lessons of failure.

This time, Zhu Long is asking how to deal with food on the surface, but in fact, it depends on their mind and pattern, which is exactly what Zhuge Liang said, "ask right and wrong and look at their aspirations".

Lin Chong's answer made him the most satisfied, he saw "benevolence and righteousness" from the grain, and saw the "people's heart".

Qin Ming replied that it was difficult to transport grain, which proved that he was a veteran general in the army, familiar with military affairs, and a practical talent. In fact, it is true, Zhu Long has always filled Qin Ming wherever there is a pit, and he has worked hard.

And Zhu Hu and Lu Fang belong to generals with well-developed limbs and simple minds.

Zhu Long has been with them for a long time and knows them very well, and his answers to them are expected, but he is curious about how Shi Wengong will answer.

Shi Wengong saw Zhu Long looking at him, a little cramped, and hesitated for a moment: "It's difficult to put grain, right?" With so many people in the city, do you send them to the door, or do you call them to come and collect them? And what is the standard? Is it distributed by household or by mouth? Do rich people send it? Do well-off people have a hair? If only the poor are paid, how can they be considered poor? ”

Zhu Long and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, it was so difficult to send a piece of food, and they felt a headache when they heard it, so they asked, "Do you have any way?" ”

Shi Wengong spread his hands, "I didn't!" ”

"Then let's go door-to-door!" Zhu Long sighed, thinking that this guy should be a little official!

Although he occupied the yamen, Zhu Long still slept in the barracks at night, firstly for his own safety, and secondly, he mingled with the soldiers, so that everyone knew that Zhu Daguan shared weal and woe with them.

The third watch had passed, and he was about to sleep, when suddenly Wei Dingguo asked to see him.

As soon as he came in, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said: "Qi Zhizhou is an official who is fair and honest, and the people love him, please let Qi Zhizhou live!" ”

"Old Wei, you get up and speak, when did I say that I was going to kill Qi Zhizhou? You're too worried! "Zhu Long didn't plan to kill Qi Zhizhou, if he wanted to kill him, he would have killed him on the spot yesterday, why put him under house arrest.

He came to Lingzhou again just to rob the treasury, and he didn't want to kill anyone.

"The lord is generous and merciful, and his subordinates are grateful!" Wei Dingguo left with a thousand thanks.

Looking at his back, Zhu Long felt that this person was not bad. Originally, he subdued Shan Tinggui and betrayed his friends to surrender, which made Zhu Long very ashamed, but now it seems that this person also has a bit of loyalty.

Immediately, he reacted, Wei Dingguo is deliberately inviting names! He was meant to establish an image of faithfulness in front of himself.

Zhu Long shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't take it to heart, and he had to talk about it tomorrow to promote it for him.

As the saying goes: things gather by like, and people are grouped. The subordinates are well-behaved, is this also the light on the leader's face? If all the subordinates are a group of villains, will the people of the world believe that the leader is a benevolent and righteous master?
