At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 35 Li Shanchang's Interview
"General, people are here!"

Xu Da's voice came from outside the door again.

"Come in!"

Cheng De's face was calm and his tone was steady.

"Squeak", the door opened.

I saw a middle-aged scribe in gray clothes followed by Xu Da. He had a long beard, neatly trimmed, fair skin, and a calm complexion.

Immediately, Xu Da quickly closed the door and left.

Only Cheng De and Li Shanchang were left in the room.

"I've seen the general!" Li Shanchang bowed and saluted.

"I heard from Xu Da that the master wants to join me?" Cheng De looked at Li Shanchang with some scrutiny.

"Yes, General!" Li Shanchang replied calmly.

"Excuse me, sir, how to pacify the world?" Cheng De said straight to the point.

When Li Shanchang heard this, he knew that this was Cheng De's test of his talent.

Li Shanchang pondered for a while, "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly!"

Cheng De's eyes flickered, "When will the world be peaceful?"

Li Shanchang talked eloquently: "General, please allow me to take Han Gaozu as an example. During the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, Han Gaozu was able to rise from ordinary people, establish the Han Dynasty, and innovate history books because of his open-minded nature, knowing people and doing things well." , don’t kill people indiscriminately, that’s why the emperor’s foundation was accomplished in just five years.”

Li Shanchang paused, "Now the Yuan Dynasty is in great chaos, and the country is torn apart. If the general can follow the example of Han Gaozu, the world can be easily pacified and the people are saved from fire and water! And the world will also prostrate at the general's feet."

Cheng De was overjoyed when he heard the words, but his expression was unclear, "In my opinion, how should our Sizhou army grow?"

Li Shanchang stroked a long beard, and said seriously: "Under the general's rule, he is surrounded by the Yuan army. If things go on like this, it will be dangerous! Chuzhou is not suitable for attacking it. Attacking Chuzhou will face hundreds of thousands of Yuan army directly, and the general's current foundation , will go to waste. Anfeng Road and Shou County are blocked by Hengjian Mountain. Attacking it will consume countless food and grass, and it is unwise. The current plan is to attack Huai'an Road to break the situation."

Cheng De frowned and thought deeply, "Although there is no 10 troops in the Huai'an Road Aiyin Class, according to my guess, there are at least [-]. Now our Sizhou army is only [-]. Wouldn't it be unwise to attack them?"

Li Shanchang smiled and said: "Because of the food, the general had to attack."

Cheng De narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Shanchang, "Our Sizhou Army has enough food."

"Why should the general lie to the next scholar? I guess that the food and grass owned by the Sizhou army cannot feed the whole army for a month." Li Shanchang said confidently.

Cheng De was silent.

If it wasn't for lack of food, he wouldn't have been forced to let Zhang Qijiu do that in order to survive the cold winter...

"I hope the general knows that the Huai'an Road was laid down. In addition to going to sea to catch fish and shrimps for military rations, there is also a reason for the large amount of salt produced there. The people under the general's rule need to eat salt." Li Shanchang added calmly.

"If the Yuan army on Yangzhou Road and Jiqing Road come to attack together, how can we stop them?" Cheng De said this sentence, his eyes dim.

"Divide them with tactics and break them one by one." Li Shanchang's eyes were bright and his tone was sonorous.

Cheng De was silent for a while, "Mr.'s words are quite reasonable, let me think about this matter again."

Li Shanchang opened his mouth, but suddenly thought of something, then kept silent.

"For the time being, Mr. will take the post of Chief Registrar in my General's Mansion, and together with Chief Registrar Lu, I will assist me in dealing with the government affairs under my administration. Would you like it, sir?" Cheng De looked at Li Shanchang with gentle eyes.

When Li Shanchang heard the words, he bowed and saluted, "Student Li Shanchang pays homage to the lord!"

This time, he came here to seek a better future.

The first time they met, he was already satisfied to be able to get the post of master bookkeeper.

He believes that the future will definitely have a bright future.

Cheng De supported Li Shanchang with both hands, and said, "I intend to ask Mr. to be mainly responsible for the dispatch and distribution of materials from the upper and lower levels of the Sizhou Army. We must ensure fairness and justice."

"Follow the order! Thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

Cheng De looked at Li Shanchang's excited appearance, grabbed his hand and sighed: "I have a pity that there are too few scribes in the Sizhou Army. Right now, only one person is in charge of this matter. I am worried that I will exhaust you. If you have students, relatives and friends You can call any friend, and this general will not hesitate to treat them generously."

Hearing Cheng De's words and seeing Cheng De's sincere appearance, Li Shanchang was a little moved.

"My lord is for the sake of my subordinates, and I am considerate. My lord, I will write letters to my relatives, friends and disciples, inviting them to come and serve the general." Li Shanchang bowed again, his eyes full of emotion.

Cheng De nodded: "There is no rush for this matter. If this matter is done, I will credit you first, and I hope that Mr. will help me wholeheartedly in the future. Mr. will not let me down, and I will never let him down!"

"My lord!" Li Shanchang's eyes were filled with tears.

Seeing this, Cheng De was puzzled.

Is this so touching?

Perhaps, the ancients were sincere!

With my performance just now, how can I win an actor!

It seems that this recruitment of talents is indeed miraculous.

It can be used more in the future.

Li Shanchang couldn't help secretly happy when he saw Cheng De's eyes froze.

It seems that I made a high score impression in front of the lord.

Before coming in vain, I specially used green onion and garlic on the corner of the eye.

The timing was well controlled, and if it was later, he was a little worried that there would be tears when he cried.

Moreover, in the future, if the general pacifies the world, he can still leave a good story about the monarch and his ministers in the history books, which is perfect!
The two chatted for another hour, mainly because Li Shanchang was talking and Cheng De was listening.

Both parties are very satisfied with each other and full of hope for the future.

Li Shanchang thought: This lord is not bad, he can know people and make good use of them, so that he can make great achievements.

Cheng De thought: This subordinate is not bad, he can be conquered by my personality charm, and bow his head willingly as a bully.

After the interview, Cheng De sent Xu Da and Li Shanchang to work in the office.

And Li Shanchang ran away excitedly.

Cheng De couldn't bear to look at Li Shanchang's appearance.

He remembered that there was a foot-high pile of official documents in the office, and he never had time to deal with them.

Presumably, Li Shanchang is still very happy!
After all, the way he ran just now looked a bit like the way he cooked in his previous life.

Putting aside these miscellaneous thoughts, Cheng De thought of Li Shanchang's method of breaking the situation in his mind, and was stunned for a while.

a long time.

"General, there is a horse girl outside the mansion asking to see you." Tang He's voice sounded outside the study in an instant.

Ok?
Cheng De withdrew his thoughts and walked out of the study, "Did Miss Ma come here alone?"

Tang He shook his head, "She also brought a girl."

"Ah." Cheng De was a little disappointed.

"Tang He, go and lead her to my study." Cheng De said suddenly.

"Yes, General!" Tang He responded, then turned and left.

It didn't take long.

Tang He came with Ma Xiuying, and Ma Xiuying was holding a ten-year-old girl by the hand.

The girl was delicate and lovely, a little shy of strangers, holding Ma Xiuying's skirt with both hands, and shrinking her eyes.

"The daughter of the people has seen the general!" Ma Xiuying bowed and saluted.

Seeing this, Tang He saluted and quietly stepped back.

Cheng De waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me. I don't know why you came here today?"

Ma Xiuying was silent, her eyes were a little red.

"General, Minnv came here specially to thank the general for avenging my adoptive father."

Cheng De was noncommittal when he heard the words, but he was slandering in his heart: If it was on purpose, he wouldn't bring a small light bulb.

Cheng De nodded and said nothing.

For a while, the scene was silent.

a long time.

"General, in fact, there is one more thing for a girl to ask." Ma Xiuying stared at Cheng De and pursed her lips tightly.

"Tell me." Cheng De looked calm.

"I am Guo Tianxu, the son of my adoptive father, and I am asking the general for a future." After Ma Xiuying finished speaking, she dared not look at Cheng De.

Cheng De squinted slightly at Ma Xiuying: "In what capacity did you say that to me?"

Ma Xiuying was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, his face flushed.

For a moment.

"Of course... of course it's based on—" Ma Xiuying hesitated a bit.

She realized that her request was a bit abrupt.

"After you finish your adoptive father's funeral, we will go back to Sizhou City to get married. As for Guo Tianxu's matter, we will talk about it after we get married. Also, let Guo Tianxu settle down and don't do something stupid. His I see everything I do." Cheng De's eyes were dark.

Ma Xiuying suddenly raised her head to look at Cheng De, her eyes were startled, "The general is saying that Brother Tianxu——"

"The people under me told me that he has been very restless recently." Cheng De said here, his eyes were slightly cold.

Zhang Qijiu sent someone to tell him that in the past few days, thousands of households in Jinyiwei in Haozhou City discovered that Guo Tianxu had plots for evil.

As for this matter, he just asked Zhang Qijiu to send someone to watch him secretly.

The reason why they didn't deal with it was because of Ma Xiuying's face.

Guo Zixing had just died, if he sent someone to kill Guo Tianxu during this period, he was a little worried that Ma Xiuying would be at odds with him.

Simply, let Ma Xiuying take care of the trouble while making it clear now.

If there is no effect, then we will deal with Guo Tianxu later, and Ma Xiuying must have nothing to say.

"General, I understand. I will handle this matter! Thank you General for letting me know!" Ma Xiuying said solemnly.

Cheng De nodded, but his eyes moved to the girl beside Ma Xiuying.

Seeing this, Ma Xiuying said, "General, this is my adoptive father's daughter, come and meet the general first."

Ok?
Cheng De looked at Ma Xiuying suspiciously.

"This is sent by my adoptive father's family to be the general's concubine. I hope the general will not pursue what my adoptive father did before, let alone implicate the Guo family because of my adoptive father's death." Ma Xiuying looked Calm, eyes helpless.

Cheng De looked at Ma Xiuying in shock, and then at the girl next to Ma Xiuying, his head was full of black lines.

If it was the previous life, it would be a real punishment.

Even now, he couldn't accept a ten-year-old girl.

"No, she's too young, so I'd better send her back to the Guo family. I won't care about the previous matter, let alone transfer my anger to the Guo family." Cheng De sternly refused.

"The Guo family won't accept her anymore. The general should take her with her first. She is already ten years old, and it is still feasible to take a concubine four years later. Moreover, it can also comfort the Guo family's heart." Ma Xiuying sighed, her eyes were firm .

Cheng De: "..."

To develop it?
This ancient time is really...

Seeing Ma Xiuying's stubbornness, Cheng De raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, then stay!"

"Thank you, General! My little sister is Guo Hui, and I hope the General will take care of her in the future." Ma Xiuying said happily.

Cheng De rested his forehead and sighed, he actually agreed to such a ridiculous thing.

It seems that it has fallen.

Afterwards, Ma Xiuying left Guo Hui behind, and left the place in a hurry.

Only Guo Hui and Cheng De were left staring at each other.

"Tang He!" Cheng De shouted helplessly.

"General, what's your order?" Tang He responded.

"Clean up a clean yard in the mansion, and find a few maids to take care of her." Cheng De ordered.

"Yes, General." Tang He replied.

at this time.

Guo Hui said shyly, "From now on, I will be the general's concubine. I hope the general will not abandon me."

Tang He looked at Cheng De in astonishment upon hearing this.

Those eyes clearly looked at animals and scum, at least, Cheng De thought so.

At this time, Cheng De felt unreasonable and depressed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't agreed yet! The Guo family is real, and I don't blame them. They have to send their daughter to me. They are so young. Those who don't know will think that I am a demon in sex, and what is worse than a beast?" Cheng De Dayi said awe-inspiringly, his tone full of helplessness.

When Tang He heard the words, he realized that he had misunderstood Cheng De just now, and felt a little sorry, so he quietly lowered his head.

Guo Hui burst into tears on the spot, sobbing non-stop.

Cheng De was dumbfounded, and immediately ran away, leaving Tang He standing there in embarrassment.

Now, how do you comfort a girl when she cries?

Moreover, this girl may also be the general's concubine.

Tang He's head was as big as an ox, and he thought: The general has hurt me!
Soup and messy in the wind.

……

When Cheng De returned to the study again, he found that Tang He and Guo Hui had left, and he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

What is all this called?
Fortunately there was soup and topping.
