Wang Cheng looked at the people in the venue, and all the things in the past gradually came to mind.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze, looked at Liu Qingsheng and said, "How many people have you already got?" ”

Liu Qingsheng said: "Yin Bo has a lot of people here, and the number of people has exceeded one tribe, there are five hundred and sixty-eight people. Zhou Hang was less there, only about 300 people. ”

"So less than a thousand?" Wang Cheng said.

Seeing Liu Qingsheng nodding, Wang Cheng sighed: "This is far from enough!" ”

Liu Qingsheng hesitated: "My lord, there is a sentence in a humble position, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Say it! What else to hide from me! Wang Cheng said.

Liu Qingsheng said: "It is true that adults can hide people's eyes and ears by using this method to recruit soldiers, but so many people have been brought here, and most of their families will come to make trouble." ”

"Then put up a notice announcing that these people were not honest and were being held for three months as a punishment, and their families could come and visit them. It is also possible to pay a ransom to pick people up early, but the compensation will have to be returned. Wang Cheng said.

Liu Qingsheng nodded and said: "This should be able to dispel the thoughts of those family members, heh, with their thoughts, they will not send back the compensation money they received in their hands." ”

Suddenly, he changed his words, his face showed a worried face, and said, "It's just that your lordship is sure that you will take these people for your own use within three months?" ”

"Don't worry about this! I don't dare to say 100 percent, but I can still do it with 800 people. Wang Cheng said confidently.

Liu Qingsheng said: "I believe in my lord!" ”

"It's just that these 800 people are far from enough for the entire southwest defense line." Wang Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Liu Qingsheng was silent, he knew the meaning of Wang Cheng's words.

Thinking that Liu Xingze, the general of Zhonglang, led 9,000 men and horses to guard the south and left, they were all beaten by the Xia people and lost their armor, and now Wang Cheng's 7,000 men and horses are even more stretched.

"However, Nanli County has just suffered this catastrophe, and if the conscription is carried out again, I am afraid that it will cause public resentment to boil, and then it will be ......," Liu Qingsheng looked worried.

How could Wang Cheng not know this?

At the beginning, he spent so much effort to win the hearts of the people, just because he was afraid that the conscription would arouse the anger of the people, and now he has used such a play, all of which are slowly trying to do it.

In fact, after some previous operations, he was very sure that he would recruit 2,000 or even 3,000 soldiers.

However, if you do this, you will basically draw out most of the young adults in Nanli County, and once something goes wrong with them, it will definitely be an unhealable damage to Nanli County.

This is also why Thorn Shi Bao made a special warning before leaving, which can also be said to be a warning.

"That's it!"

Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "At the moment, we can only take one step at a time, since Xia Guo intends to negotiate with my Great Zhou, he should not come back to the border in a short time, we still have time." ”

Liu Qingsheng nodded and said, "What the adults said is true!" Perhaps the situation will not be as bad as we think, and the two countries will not stop making peace. ”

Wang Cheng smiled when he heard this, he hoped that it would be as Liu Qingsheng said, but he knew very well that Xia Guo had suffered such a big loss at his hands, how could they swallow this breath?

At this time, Liu Qingsheng mentioned another matter: "My lord, those compensation payments have been distributed, but there are still more than 300 boxes of property in the house, how should these be handled?" ”

The more than 300 boxes of property in his mouth, except for a small part of the balance of the compensation payment, were basically those headed by Wu, Qin, Li, and Cao.

These people all have a deep background, and they have been entrenched in Nanli County for so many years, and they have amassed a lot of wealth.

Wang Cheng can be regarded as having seen the world, and he has the acceptance gold ticket of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from Chase Bank, but compared to the more than 300 boxes of property, it is a little insufficient.

He didn't expect that in such a barren place in Nanli County, these families would make so much money.

"The amount of property they have been robbed is huge, and it is difficult to calculate it for a while, so if the abacus is less, it will be thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, if you don't calculate these accounts clearly, do you want me to post them?" Wang Cheng said coldly.

Although he had already said in advance that he would return all these possessions to their owners, and that those families that were destroyed would be in the form of compensation, but when it was the turn of those families, it was difficult.

It's not that he doesn't want to pay it back, as he said, if the accounts don't match, such as less, does he have to pay out of his own pocket?

Therefore, after the compensation was paid yesterday, he did not immediately return the rest of his belongings to those families.

He's waiting!

When those families took the initiative to find him, he didn't believe that so many belongings were in his hands, and those families would not be in a hurry.

That's what he wants, and only when they're in a hurry can something be done.

"Your Excellency!"

At this moment, a call sounded in his ears, and he saw a middle-aged man running all the way towards him.

In his forties, he had slender eyes, a goatee, and a green robe, looking like a man of letters.

This person is Chen Jia under Wang Cheng, and he is also one of the first people to follow him, and has been responsible for the accounting and distribution of all military items such as food and ammunition in his battalion.

Wang Cheng looked at him panting, blushing and thick-necked, and frowned and said, "Old Chen, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Jia hunched his waist, put his hands on his knees, gasped for a while, took out an invitation card from his arms and handed it to Wang Cheng, and said, "My lord, Qin Feiyu, the son of the Marquis of Wenyuan, Wu Sanbao, the younger brother of the Marquis of Wuchang, Li Cheng, the son of the Marquis of Dingbei, and Cao Yang, the son of the Marquis of Annan, invite you to the banquet. ”

Wang Cheng and Liu Qingsheng looked at each other and smiled, really thinking about something.

He opened the invitation card and glanced at it, and said, "You go back and tell them that I will go to Changchun Garden on time for a banquet at noon today." ”

Chen Jia nodded in response, "Subordinates retire", turned his head and left the place.

Wang Cheng looked at his departing back and said slowly: "This time, I was promoted to the general of the Broken Captives, and I will supervise all military affairs in the southwest, what advice does Mr. General Mansion's subordinate officer have?" ”

Now, he is already a general who leads an army alone, and all military affairs in the southwest of the capital give him the qualifications to open a government, that is, to establish a government office and choose his own attachés or staff.

It was only because he was promoted to the general of the Broken Prisoner yesterday, and all subordinate officials such as Changshi, Zhonglang, Military Supervisor, and Military Arsenal Order have not yet been appointed.

"This is an adult's arbitrary decision, how dare you ignore it?" Liu Qingsheng lowered his head and said.

"You!"

Wang Cheng shook his head, and then said, "Mr. will take charge of the long history." ”

Although Liu Qingsheng had expected it in his heart, he still couldn't suppress the excitement when he got Wang Cheng's personal promise.

The general has a long history, that is the undisputed first person under the general's account, and the weight of the position is self-evident.

"Humble thanks!"

Liu Qingsheng solemnly saluted Wang Cheng, almost instantly.

"Get up!"

Wang Cheng helped Liu Qingsheng up, and when he saw that his face was full of tears, he was surprised: "Sir, this is?" ”

Liu Qingsheng wiped away the tears on his face and choked up: "This is a pleasure!" Glad! ”

I think he Liu Qingsheng has been stumbling for half his life, although he has lived a life without food or drink, but his life is hard!

His mother was killed by the Xia people, and his father died with hatred, and he was a dog for 20 years under the obscenity of the Xia people, and even his wife had to be given to others to play.

Until he met Wang Cheng, he really felt like a person, an upright and respected person!

Wang Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "Now you can talk about how to arrange the other personnel. ”

Liu Qingsheng calmed down and said, "Lord Chen Jia was the first to follow the general, and he has always been in charge of grain, grass, and ordnance, and he is the most suitable person to be the Zhonglang. ”

Wang Cheng thought so in his heart, because he really couldn't find a suitable person under his subordinates.

After all, he has only taken over this place, everything here is still very unfamiliar, the defenders who originally left the south are dead and fleeing, and there are few people who can do things.

So, even if he wanted to use some new people, there were no such people for him to use at the moment.

"In this way, Lao Chen is engaged in Zhonglang, and new people are needed to be in charge of the military equipment."

Wang Cheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Qingsheng and said, "Tell me, the military arsenal order, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

"There is a person under Lord Chen's hand, and this person has always been in charge of the original military equipment, called Shi Xuan, and your lord can let this person try." Liu Qingsheng said.

"It's him!"

A figure immediately appeared in Wang Cheng's mind, and when he was a military commander, he had several exchanges with this person.

It was a young man who looked a little obscene, the corners of his mouth were always open, he looked like he had a crooked mouth, his head was relatively large, and the distance between his eyes was very wide.

However, he is such a good-looking person, he has an extraordinary memory and mental arithmetic ability.

"Good! Let Shi Xuan serve as the commander of the military arsenal. ”

Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, and then said, "As for the military supervisor, I plan to let Wu Feilong serve as the supervisor." ”

"Wu Sima?" Liu Qingsheng said.

Wang Cheng nodded and said: "For the post of military supervisor and military superintendent, you must choose a person who is fair and just and dares to speak and dare to do. ”

"What your lord says is very true!" Liu Qingsheng said.

The two then discussed about the captain, two of the three captains have been decided, one is Zhang Han, and the other is Chengyi, but the third person can't be chosen.

Because originally his school was personally led by him, and now that he has been promoted to general, there is naturally a vacancy for the position of captain, but there is a problem with who will succeed the captain.

Wu Feilong, Zhang Zhiyang, and Zhu Hao are the most suitable three people, but the three have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is difficult to compete for a while.

"My lord, why don't you continue to lead this school?" Liu Qingsheng said.

"That's all there is to it."

Wang Cheng nodded, and continued: "As for the middle-level military attachés such as Jun Sima and Jun Hou, the original ones remain unchanged, and those who unfortunately die in battle will be promoted from the army. The first few times I followed my meritorious service will be given priority, in a word, if you are promoted by military merit, others should also be rewarded, don't be afraid of not having enough money, we are very rich now. ”

"Humble duty understands!" Liu Qingsheng said.

"Draw up a list and hand it over to me within a few days as soon as possible, presumably those guys are already waiting for me to give them a promotion!"

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "We can't let our brothers gossip, we were promoted to general, and as a result, we didn't have any rewards under our hands." ”

"Yes!" Liu Qingsheng said.

Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, if there was no right-hand man Liu Qingsheng, he would not be able to finish grabbing the hair on his head by himself.

"That's troublesome sir!"
