I really just want to lose my fortune

After returning to the city, Qin Ge and the others were exhausted.

Qin Ge was still a little worried, and came to Jia Xu's residence.

Qin Ge knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He frowned slightly, and pushed open the door, only to find that Jia Xu had fallen asleep lying on the table.

Even with the help of Cai Wenji, it would definitely be a big burden for Jia Xu.

Now money and food can be said to be spent. After this policy is passed, the food will be allocated by the county, otherwise the size of the fortress will not be so limited.

After all, Qin Ge's foundation is still too weak.

Qin Ge sighed, why didn't he want to have two more counselors?It's a pity, how can a big talent be so good?He recruited so many military generals, but there were only two civil servants, and there were not many fish that slipped through the net under the imperial examination system.

Qin Ge shook his head, put Jia Xu on the bed, and left the room.

Chapter 185 Style Conflict?

Four days passed quickly.

Qin Ge watched the movement of the fortress, and couldn't help but sighed.

"Qin Ge, what's the matter?" Cai Wenji was grinding Qin Ge aside, seeing Qin Ge sigh, she couldn't help asking.

"The progress of this fortress is too slow." Qin Ge said: "It's obviously for their own fortress and their own port, but they still don't work hard, and the progress of the project is very slow. Fortunately, we don't include medical treatment, otherwise , I am afraid it will be more difficult."

"The military division doesn't know what he's been up to these days, so I don't want to disturb you."

The construction speed of this project is the same as that of modern engineering teams. It feels like a few months of construction can be delayed for several years.

"No way, they know it, but these people are afraid of losing money, for fear that if they do too much, they will lose money."

"They can't see the future benefits for the time being. Right now, as long as you work, you will get food. It doesn't matter if you work more or less. We are short of manpower, and we can't implement effective supervision." Cai Wenji said helplessly: "It seems that we have reached an impasse. .”

"If we can have rewards and punishments, that's fine. But now that we have limited food, we can't do rewards, we can only do punishments. If this goes on, the conflict between the two sides will get deeper and deeper."

"That's right." Qin Ge said with some headaches: "The biggest problem is that the governor is completely messing with each other and doesn't want to allocate funds at all."

The rank of governor is already very high, so it doesn't matter what Qin Ge says.

Qin Ge wrote a letter to the governor, which meant that Jiaozhou was in financial difficulties, and he really couldn't afford it. He wanted to write to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to allocate funds.

Thinking about Wu Meiniang's lineage with the queen, it is estimated that this letter will be lost in the court.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Qin Ge called out casually.

I saw that a servant took a letter and handed it to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge took a glance and tore apart Faith.

As a result, he had just read the beginning, and the whole person was not calm.

Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, was born in Qingtian County, Yangzhou. He passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 12, and was called a "child prodigy" by the elders in the village.

"The little Taoist is Liu Bowen?" Qin Ge looked shocked.

My son's house in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth?

Zhuge Liang divided the world into three, and Liu Bowen ruled the country; Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the former dynasty, and Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the later dynasty!

This, this, this big talent appeared in front of me before, I didn't notice?

Most of Qin Ge's understanding of Ming history was from watching movies and novels, that is, Liu Bowen who was blown up.

However, he didn't know it himself.

Fortunately, this Liu Bowen really has a lot of elements that Qin Ge knows...

Qin Ge thought about Liu Bowen's information carefully. Liu Bowen was not young when Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the mountain, but this Liu Bowen was still a young man.

Although his strategy and composure are definitely not as good as the one who hibernated in the later stage, he is definitely a rare talent!

Qin Ge was deeply impressed by the fledgling. Gan Ning, who was a fledgling, could beat Cheng Yaojin in a one-on-one match; Zhao Yun, who was a fledgling, could also lead an army in the enemy's camp as if no one was there.

Liu Bowen tested my characters before, did he know my identity?

Damn it, why did you just watch him slip away?

"Qin Ge, is there anything special about this person?" Cai Wenji glanced at Xin Feng and asked curiously.

Looking at the information on the letter, she is indeed a talent, but she has seen too many such talents.

She also knew someone who could read a thousand characters at the age of three, memorize poems at the age of five, familiarize himself with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and master poems and songs at the age of eight.

A good memory does not necessarily mean success.

Just like Jia Xu, if you ask him to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, he may not be able to recite it clearly, but if you let him cheat people, there are basically few who can stop him...

"This man is a talented national scholar." Qin Ge said firmly.

"National scholar..." Cai Wenji's pupils shrank slightly.

Qin Ge has met quite a few literati, and the only ones he can evaluate as national scholars are Jia Xu, Li Ru, and the person in the letter.

Although He Shen was tactful and powerful in politics, but in Qin Ge's mouth, He Shen was not a national scholar.

Although Wagang Wei Zheng is smart, capable of doing things, and has strong administrative skills, he is not considered a national scholar by Qin Ge.

After all, Qin Ge felt that Wei Zheng lost his own grave in the end, he was not as good as Jia Xu, who was good at protecting his life wisely, and Li Ru, who cheated the world's heroes under Dong Zhuo's command.

This is also a matter of perspective, if Qin Ge is the emperor now, then Wei Zheng and He Shen might be more useful.

However, now is the time for Qin Ge to fight for hegemony. Li Ru and Jia Xu are the advisers who can help him conquer the world.

"Quickly, even if you search the whole of Panyu, find this little Taoist priest for me." Qin Ge ordered.

"Yes!"

The boy heard the words and went to work.

Not long after, Jia Xu came to Qin Ge's office. He saluted Qin Ge and said to Qin Ge, "My lord, why are you looking for that person?"

"That man is a great talent." Qin Ge said, "He's a counselor!"

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, but also overjoyed.

He felt like he was exhausted these days, and now someone finally came to share the work?

The prince's eyesight is not bad, he said he is a counselor type, so he must be a counselor type.

Jia Xu was thinking before, if she should find a way to lure Zhang Jiao here, at least she has a helper.

"Wait." Jia Xu suddenly thought of something, and said solemnly: "My lord, what kind of person is this person?"

"What type?" Qin Ge was taken aback for a moment.

"Hmm... It's just that he is more like Wen You in his work, or..."

Qin Ge was suddenly stunned. He thought carefully about the works he had read, and said hesitantly, "It should be upright and honest, jealous of evil, uh..."

When Qin Ge said this, he couldn't continue.

This person seems to conflict with Jia Xu and Li Ru's style.

If the counselor's personality and behavior style are not compatible, there may be serious problems. At this time, Yuan Shao can be brought out and beaten again.

Jia Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "This man's temperament is quite to the prince's taste. The prince is kind and kind. If he wins this person, he will be like a tiger with wings."

"Where is Wenhe talking?" Qin Ge said hastily: "If Wenhe feels that we can't deal with him, then... the king must choose Wenhe!"

Qin Ge is too aware of Jia Xu's ability, and a person who is too upright may not be good for him to fight for world hegemony.

"Ha, the lord is too worried." Seeing Qin Ge's high opinion of him, Jia Xu couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, since I know his temperament, I will definitely not make things difficult for the lord."

"Besides, what the prince wants to do is to be the co-lord of the world. If there is only one voice around him, it will be bad for the prince."

"If this person is really a great talent, I hope the prince will recruit him!"

Chapter 186 Big Fish

"Okay, I'm relieved to have Wenhe's words." Qin Ge also heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Jia Xu, "How do Wenhe think about those people who don't work hard?"

"Oh, it's just that they don't see the benefits now." Jia Xu smiled and said: "I know that the prince is not rich, and he can't set rewards for them, and it's not easy to punish them for the time being."

"As long as the prince waits for two days, they will naturally see the benefits."

"Two days later..." Qin Ge closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Yes, there are a few merchant ships that are only two days away from here. When those merchants spend wildly, they will increase their enthusiasm."

"Besides, they don't necessarily need us." Jia Xu said, "I have already invited their patriarchs to have a picnic nearby in two days. They will discipline their tribe members when they see the benefits. Whoever dares to be lazy at that time , is the enemy of them all."

"Not only that, the Han people have actually built several houses, but they can be used as temporary residences for those businessmen."

"In order to ensure the safety of the merchants, they should be very happy to invite some unfamiliar sailors to pretend to be merchants."

"When they see money, those tribesmen will be jealous."

"Thank you Wen He for clarifying the confusion." Qin Ge got up and cupped his hands towards Jia Xu: "It turns out that the lore is here."

Jia Xu smiled and returned a salute. No one knew what he was thinking.

…………

Liu Bowen was drinking tea in the teahouse at this time, listening to storytelling.

What Jia Xu said, even if he didn't know the time when the merchant ship arrived, he could roughly guess it.

Without him, after all, it is the maritime trade route between Daqin and other countries. There are many merchant ships coming and going, and there are also many large caravans.

Also, humans are creatures that are prone to dependence. If the imperial court has been strictly guarding them at this time, it will not only make those tribesmen feel rebellious, but if they are not taught in the future, they will naturally indulge themselves and wait for the imperial court to discipline them.

This strategy is really good, using benefits to temporarily bind those tribes together.

However, all of this has a premise, that is, the imperial court really needs to allocate funds to build the city, otherwise places like Zhaizi are too easy to be destroyed, and the safety of life and property cannot be guaranteed.

Zhao Wang's soldiers and horses are here, which can strengthen the defense, so that the Japanese pirates dare not move rashly, but Zhao Wang's soldiers and horses cannot be stationed here forever.

Moreover, there are still fewer soldiers and horses.

Not only that, but for this to become a legal port, it also needs the approval of official documents from the court. Given Zhao Wang's current situation, there are many obstacles.

Although this strategy seems to have many loopholes and disadvantages at present, it will definitely get better and better as time goes by.

Just when he was drinking tea and watching the play comfortably, he saw two figures appear in his line of sight.

Yo, the prince is on the street again?

To his surprise, Qin Ge came straight to this teahouse.

Soon, Qin Ge walked in with Cai Wenji, and sat in front of Liu Bowen naturally, as if the two knew each other very well.

Liu Bowen's whereabouts are really easy to find, he has been in the city all the time, or he went to the villages where those tribes are located, to the fortress, he didn't check out of the inn, so he found it after a search.

Knowing that the big fish didn't run away, Qin Ge also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hey, guest, we meet again." Liu Bowen picked up his teacup and said to Qin Ge.

"This place is not very quiet. Mister gave me a fortune last time, and I benefited a lot from it." Qin Ge said with a smile: "I wonder if Mister can move the frame, let's talk in a quiet place?"

"When we meet by chance, it's because of destiny. The last time I just talked about it casually, I can't count it." Liu Bowen shook his head.

"Oh." Qin Ge leaned in front of Liu Bowen, and whispered: "You have already calculated that this king will return to one and rule the world, so I have to ask how this king can control the world. "

Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment, what happened to the prince, I said it last time, but you just believe it?What if it was the words of a charlatan.

This King Zhao, can't be so naive.

"Renren Zhang has a relationship with this king. Are you sent by Zhenren Zhang to remind me that the king may have exposed his identity?" Qin Ge continued.

Liu Bowen suddenly realized, the co-author Zhao Wang thought I was reminding him that his identity was exposed a few days ago?

Oh, I think too much.

Not everyone knows this technique of looking at qi, and Wudang can use it no more than five fingers.

"Okay, since Your Excellency invited me, I will accompany Your Excellency on this journey."

…………

Soon, the three of them arrived at the temporary Prince Zhao's Mansion.
