Chapter 65
Dingcheng, the mansion of the general who conquered the East.

Zuo Houde looked at the three families standing beside him, and said lightly, "Now, I will give you [-]% from the three families."

Zhao Pingde looked at Zuo Houde and immediately nodded in agreement, and the other two also nodded.A few days ago, the city was full of people. Although these people did not suffer this disaster at the time, seeing the fate of the other nine families, these three families seemed to be frightened.

Of course, speaking of it, these three companies still made money. It used to be [-]% for the twelve companies, but now it is [-]% for the three companies.

Zuo Houde added: "From tomorrow onwards, military control will be imposed on everything, and I will also send someone to take over and supervise the affairs of the business. You should mainly be responsible for the operation. By the way, do you still have any reservations about the relationship networks of the other nine companies? "

Hearing Zuo Houde's words, Zhao Pingde immediately said: "General, when I waited for the cooperation of twelve companies before, everyone shared this relationship network. Of course, each family has more or less private possessions, but this relationship network, we wait for it. The three families can still take over from scratch!"

Hearing this, Zuo Houde nodded, and dismissed them without any further concern.

……

Zuo Houde also cleaned up the unstable factors in the city, and the next step is Ansheng's development of people's livelihood.

Zuo Houde recruited Li Su. Although he decided to implement military control, Zuo Houde did not give up recruiting talents.

Of course, Zuo Houde didn't find any great sages, most of them were ordinary scribes, the so-called tall ones out of the short ones, this Li Su was the tall one, who was recommended to Zuo Houde by Yao Ping.

Zuo Houde looked at Li Su in front of him and said, "I heard you are from a farming family?"

Li Su saluted and said: "My lord, I am from a farming family!"

This peasant family is one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Of course, in today’s world, Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism are the most prominent schools. Mohism, peasantism, and Yin-Yang School may have once been brilliant, but they are not the mainstream now!
Counting it, Zuo Houde can be regarded as a doctor, after all, Zuo Houde was a teacher of the Zheng Erba Jing.

Zuo Houde looked at Li Su, smiled slightly, and said, "Li Su, have you not forgotten the farmer's skills?"

Li Su immediately said: "My lord, Li Su inherited his father's business. The four generations of my Li family all came from farming families, but I dare not forget it!"

Zuo Houde Li Su said happily: "Oh, it's a generation of farmers who have studied agriculture, good! I need a talent like you!"

Li Sulian said: "Don't dare, I can't afford to be appreciated by the lord!"

Zuo Houde also said: "You can afford it, and I want you to do one thing!"

Li Su asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Although the southeast is a frontier, the soil in the southeast is also fertile. I intend to send you to farm!" Zuo Houde said.

Hearing Zuo Houde's words, Li Su quickly reacted: "My lord wants to expand the army?"

It has nothing to do with what Li Su said, most of the farms are military camps, they join the army in wartime, and farm in rest time.

Zuo Houde shook his head and said: "There is no need to expand the army, but when we are stationed in the fields, we can also train the people to prepare for the future expansion of the army!"

Only then did Li Su understand Zuo Houde's meaning, and said again: "My lord, I know how to farm the fields, but I don't understand how to train the people!"

Zuo Houde smiled slightly: "It's nothing, you just need to take care of farming, train the people, and I will send people."

After saying this, Zuo Houde ordered his left and right to go find Fang Desheng.Fang Desheng is also from Zuo Houde's personal guard, he is proficient in military training, Zuo Houde's private army was trained by him.

From time to time, Fang Desheng came to the tent, saluted Zuo Houde and said: "Changkong Colonel Fang Desheng pays his respects to the general!"

Zuo Houde immediately helped him up, introduced Fang Desheng to Li Su, and said, "This is Fang Desheng—my last soldier in training. I will arrange him to help you farm."

Then Fang Desheng said: "This is Li Su from the farm. I intend to let him farm the fields. You help him train the people!"

Only then did Fang Desheng see Li Su, he clasped his fists and said, "Fang Desheng has met Mr. Li."

Li Su didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "My servant Li Su, I have met General Fang, and I need General Fang to cooperate more in the future!"

Fang Desheng smiled heartily and said, "Naturally! Naturally!"

After Zuo Houde introduced the two to each other, he asked them to go down to discuss farming.

Zuo Houde attaches the most importance to this matter, because farming is not only related to food and grass, but also related to the source of soldiers.

If the farmland is successful, Zuo Houde will have enough soldiers to expand his army in the future, which is related to the issue of war potential.

Of course, farming is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. Zuo Houde also has the patience to wait for a year or two.

……

At the gate of Dingcheng, a carriage drove into the gate, and the guards were about to stop it, when the driver said: "I am the envoy of Ming Dynasty, come to see General Zuo!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, this news was spread to Zuo Houde, Zuo Houde was also taken aback, and in a blink of an eye, Zuo Houde guessed what the Ming envoy was here for.

Conquer the East General's Mansion.

Zuo Houde sat on the upper seat, looking at the Ming envoy in front of him.

Rao is Lu Xiaoxian—the most handsome man Zuo Houde has ever seen is a bit inferior in front of this Ming envoy, this man's eyes have a kind of charm that makes people feel kind!

At this time, Pei Ju also saw Zuo Houde for the first time. In Pei Ju's mind, Zuo Houde should be a figure like an eagle looking down upon him, but after seeing Zuo Houde, Pei Ju discovered that Zuo Houde really had a scholarly scent on him. The aura felt somewhat compassionate, more like a doctor than a general or prince.

Zuo Houde looked at the envoy in front of him, and then said: "Who is the envoy?"

Pei Ju cupped his hands slightly, and said, "Pei Ju, I will be the left servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this name, Zuo Houde couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, but he didn't remember it for a while.

Zuo Houde smiled slightly, and said: "I don't want the envoy to be the Minister of Rites, I really think highly of Zuo!"

Pei Ju showed a gentle smile, and said softly: "My Majesty Daming has heard about the general's name for a long time, so I specially sent Pei Ju here."

Zuo Houde also smiled: "Oh? But I don't think that Zuo's name has already reached the ears of the noble emperor. Zuo is very honored, and Zuo has always admired the noble emperor."

Pei Ju looked at Zuo Houde, wanting to see how true what Zuo Houde said, and said, "I would like to hear from the general!"

Zuo Houde said with admiration: "The Ming emperor rose from the humble beginnings, recruited talents, pacified the four directions, and pacified the south in just over ten years. He is really the Ming lord!"

Zuo Houde said these words sincerely, but Zuo Houde also admired people like Han Tingzhi.From herding the cowherd to the founding lord of the country, in Zuo Houde's view, Han Tingzhi can be compared with the previous Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Pei Ju is proficient in micro-expressions, and he can guess the heart of a person by looking at his face. He has been looking at Zuo Houde's face, but found that Zuo Houde's sincerity, for a while, he has a better opinion of Zuo Houde.

The two of them were like this, chatting very happily. For a while, they talked about the past and the present, and they often agreed with each other. They didn't let Pei Ju go to the guest room to sleep until late at night!
