marquis of jingan

Chapter 902
As the plate gets bigger, it will naturally require more and more manpower, especially talents.

The two masters recommended by the old father-in-law, although it cannot be said that they will be of great use at present, they will definitely be useful in the imperial envoy, and they will be very useful.

Because the lower limit of the ability of these two people, the lowest is only the level of a normal person.

A normal Juren can already do a lot of things in Master Shen's imperial envoy. If these two people are reliable enough after a period of time, Shen Yi can even entrust some of the documents in the imperial envoy's office to these two people for sorting out , forming an organization similar to the "Secretariat" to help him share some things.

In theory, Shen Yi needs more scholars.

But these things are too confidential, and you can't just pull a scholar over from the road and let him go on an errand. After all, if you are not careful, you may pull a person from the Cleaning Department over.

After arranging tasks for the two of them for the next few days, Shen Yi asked Jiang Sheng to arrange a residence for the two of them, and asked Jiang Sheng to take Song Heng to familiarize himself with the accounts of the imperial envoy.

Although Shen Yi's residence is nominally called the imperial envoy's office, and it is only the imperial envoy's office of the warlord, in fact, his imperial envoy's office is the Marshal's Mansion in Huai'an, and all expenses and income related to the Huai'an army will be collected from the imperial envoy. Go through the tent in Xingyuan.

As a result, the accounts of the imperial envoy Xingyuan are very complicated. Up to now, there are seven or eight account rooms under Shen Yi's hands, and they are all allocated to Shen Yi by Zhao Changping from those old account rooms in the household department. I have a headache.

After arranging the residence for the two, in the afternoon, Jiang Sheng did not bother Li Zhun who wrote the war strategy, but took Song Heng to the accounting office of the imperial envoy Xingyuan, and showed him the accounting books in the accounting office. .

At this time, only the accounts of the last one or two months have already been written in several thick booklets and piled up on the table.

Jiang Sheng lowered his head slightly to Song Heng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, this is the general ledger of the imperial envoy for the past three months. You can take a look at it first. As for some subdivided ledgers, they are too complicated. Bring it here, after you finish reading these, if you want to see the rest, I'll get it for you."

Song Heng looked up at Jiang Sheng, then blinked in a daze: "Brother Jiang, Shen Shilang is so relieved to hand over the account to me?"

"What is there to worry about?"

Jiang Sheng gave him a strange look, then reacted, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song, my young master acts in an upright manner, and none of the accounts of the imperial envoy Xingyuan are shameful. It's okay, but the accounts are too complicated, so it needs to be calculated clearly, lest the commanders below will fool the thousand households at will."

There is nothing wrong with what Jiang Sheng said. Master Shen has been in Huai'an for more than a year now, and all the items of his imperial envoy Xingyuan are reasonable and legal, and there are places to check.

It's just that he and Xu Fu had some "communication" and it was not recorded.

Leaving aside some of Xu Fu's private accounts, Master Shen's accounts can be said to be clean, the only troublesome thing is that there are too many accounts, and it is more troublesome to deal with.

Song Heng admired him a lot, cupped his hands at Jiang Sheng, and said, "Teach me."

"Brother Jiang, please tell Shen Shilang that the students must sort out the accounts as soon as possible."

Jiang Sheng bowed his head to return the salute: "Mr. Lao Song."

………………

Just when the two Juren masters were working for Master Shen on the imperial envoy Xingyuan, Master Shen received a letter from Xiangshui Daying. After he read it, his face immediately became gloomy. A few followers rode out of the city on horseback and headed straight for Xiangshui Camp.

Xiangshui County is less than a hundred miles away from Huai'an. Shen Yi set off in the morning and arrived at the Xiangshui camp outside Xiangshui County in the evening. Before his mount stopped, Xue Wei and Su Ding took him with him The two commanders and a group of thousands of households greeted them outside the gate of the camp.

After seeing Shen Yi's mount, everyone knelt down one after another, bowed their heads and said, "Greetings, Lord Shen!"

With a dark face, Master Shen jumped off his mount without even looking at these people, and walked into the Xiangshui camp with his hands behind his back. All the generals looked at each other, and could only stand up cautiously, following behind him step by step. Into the camp.

Shen Yi didn't talk nonsense, went straight to his handsome tent, grabbed the drumstick placed at the door of his handsome tent, and beat the drum hard twice.

Then he entered the handsome tent without saying a word.

Xue Wei was quite frightened by his appearance. He first ordered the thousands of households in the Xiangshui camp to gather quickly, then looked back at Su Ding cautiously, and asked with his head down: "General Su, what about Mr. Shen?" What's the matter?"

Su Ding opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, still didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly: "General Xue, I don't know either, let's go in, we will find out in a while."

Soon, there were about a dozen people standing in Shen Yi's tent, which was the number of generals with more than a thousand households in the Xiangshui camp.

Of course, there is more than one Xiangshui battalion on the eastern front, so not all the generals on the eastern front have arrived.

After all the people were assembled, Master Shen sat on the main seat, and instead of looking at others, he stared straight at Xue Wei.

"General Xue, when I was in Jiankang, I heard that there are two thousand-household camps in your Xiangshui camp, and the training has been slack. In the past, they trained for three or four hours a day, but later they only trained for less than two hours, or even one. When the time comes, they cry for heat and cry for pain."

"Sometimes when it rains, you can't come out at all, right?"

Xue Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he quickly bowed his head and said: "Yes, Mr. Shen, you have sent your followers to send a letter to the last general, and the last general has punished them according to your instructions."

Shen Yi looked calm: "How did you punish?"

Xue Wei scratched his head and said: "The two thousand households were fined two months' wages, and each of them paid twenty boards."

Shen Yi gave him a cold look: "In the letter, I let you handle it yourself. I can trust you. Is this how you handle it?!"

"Before I returned to Jiankang, I personally told you and Ling Su, and also told all the thousands of households not to slack off training!"

"Now it's more than just slacking off, it's simply giving up training!"

Master Shen suppressed his anger, looked at Su Ding again, and said angrily: "General Su, you are the commander, you are in charge of the entire Eastern Front except Xue Wei, what do you say?"

Su Ding's face turned pale, he knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The last general is ineffective, he has neglected his duty, please punish him..."

"You are not dereliction of duty."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said, "It's because you became a monk halfway, and these commanders who acted as commanders, and these thousands of households, or even hundreds of households refused to accept you. You don't want to offend them, let alone It’s good to offend Xue Wei, isn’t it?”

Su Ding knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"Xue Wei!"

Master Shen let out a low drink.

Xue Wei was already dazed, he never expected that his boss would be so furious because of this little "trivial matter", so he also knelt down and called Mr. Shen.

The generals behind him knelt down on the ground.

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei with disappointment on his face: "Why do you protect them?"

"Is it because you don't think training is important, or... because they and you are both from Taizhou Prefecture?"

When Xue Wei heard this, his scalp went numb with fright, and he knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"Or because they killed Japanese pirates with you?"

Xue Wei's face turned red, and he kowtowed three times to Shen Yi, his forehead was a little red, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, the last general..."

"It's hindering... hindering the old friendship."

This fierce general who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield is a bit stuttering at the moment.

He bowed his head deeply, with tears in his eyes: "This subordinate is wrong..."

Shen Yi stood up, looked at these generals who were kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "You are not wrong, but I was wrong. I think highly of you."

"I know what you are thinking. It is nothing more than the feeling that the Qi people have withdrawn their troops, and there will be no more war between the two countries. There will be no problem in guarding Huai'an for a year."

"Since that's the case, what are you doing training hard?"

"is not it?"

No one dared to speak.

Master Shen sneered, and was about to speak when someone came in cautiously from outside, half-knelt in front of Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, He Qianhu and Zong Qianhu are kneeling outside to plead guilty and want to see you... "

These two thousand households are the protagonists of this incident. Because they were beaten, they are still resting and did not participate in the account promotion.

Master Shen narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go and tell them that their chief general has already dealt with them, and this matter has nothing to do with them, let them..."

"Where should I go?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi turned his head, looked at Xue Wei and Su Ding who were kneeling in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Xue Wei, from now on, you will not be the leader of the Eastern Front..."

Xue Wei knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.

All the other generals, including Su Ding, raised their heads at the same time and looked at Shen Yi with unbelievable expressions on their faces.

"Su Ding..."

Master Shen said with a blank expression: "From now on, you will take over the position of the leader of the Eastern Front, Xue Wei..."

"Temporarily serve as a commander and serve under your command."

Said, Shen Yi looked at the generals behind Su Ding.

"If someone from the Anti-Japanese Army refuses to accept you."

Master Shen took a deep breath.

"Just let them come to me. If they don't even accept me, they only accept General Xue..."

Shen Yi looked around at the crowd and sneered: "That's very good, then Shen can only form another Huai'an army to fight against you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yi snorted, turned and left the handsome tent.

But Su Ding is still kneeling on the ground, he has not recovered yet.

After a while, he swallowed, and looked at Xue Wei who was beside him: "General Xue..."

Xue Wei's eyes were red, he didn't say a word, he just kowtowed to Su Ding with a plop.

"The last general Xue Wei..."

"Meet the Lord General!"
