Regardless of whether it is a joke or not, the blue bar has indeed grown.
You won't be short of mana during fights in the future.
Shen Tang was most satisfied with this.
Chu Yao and the others confirmed again and again that Shen Tang was in good condition, and only then did they feel relieved. Shen Tang guessed that they were just waiting and had no mood to eat, so he asked the kitchen to cook a sumptuous midnight snack. After eating, he went back to take a nap and sleep more soundly.
Chu Yao and his companions naturally would not refuse.
The young scholar was also invited to stay for a meal, and Shen Tang chatted with him for a while: "Sir, have you found a good place to stay?"
"Prepare to stay at Yuanliang Mansion temporarily."
When Qi Shan heard himself being cueed, he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was glared back by the young scholar with a half-smile in his eyes.
He said sarcastically, "Yuan Liang is not welcome?"
Qi Shanxin curled his lips and was reluctant to answer.
"Of course you are welcome."
Shen Tang saw that there was something fishy going on between them, but it was Qi Shan's private matter, so he couldn't interfere. The only thing that concerned him was the fate of this scholar in front of him. The other party's appearance in such an occasion had already hinted at the meaning.
When facing talented people who come to seek refuge, you must always express your stance.
Only after the first time is new can the second time be familiar.
"Sir, what's your name and where are you from?"
"My surname is Liao, my given name is Jia, my courtesy name is Shaomei, and I am from Fengxi County." The young scholar, Liao Jia, chose to take the initiative and lied openly. "I heard that Mr. Shen led his troops deep into the dangerous area of Shiwu and conquered the capital. I admired him. It happened that Yuan Liang's letter arrived, so I took the liberty to come and bother you..."
He hit a straight ball, which made Shen Tang stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect Liao Jia to be so proactive...
The test speech I prepared was not used.
She actually didn't want to make a decision right away.
after all-
Everyone understands Qishan’s circle of friends.
Shen Tang wanted to attack indirectly and first find out the other party's way of the scholar. If he was a normal person, she would take him in without saying anything; if he was not a normal person, she would also have to consider whether she could bear the side effects of the way of the scholar...
She has even simulated all the interview routines.
It turns out that they don’t play by the rules!
There is very little room left for Shen Tang to perform.
Either agree or decline.
But he was the first Wenxin scholar who took the initiative to come to him. If he declined, given the complicated circle of friends among Wenxin scholars, he might end up on someone's blacklist. In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Tang's mind.
The next second, she smiled like a flower.
"How can it be a bother? I couldn't ask for more."
"I am honored to receive your affirmation, sir."
In full view of the crowd, Shen Tang enthusiastically grabbed his hand, confusing Liao Jia: "Sir, you don't know, since the end of the Ten Crows War, Longwu County has been in ruins and needs manpower everywhere. I've been looking forward to a talent like you day and night."
Liao Jia: “…”
There's no need to be so enthusiastic.
For no reason, he had the illusion that he had jumped into a fire pit.
He winked at Qi Shan, whose face darkened.
Liao Jia, who was originally hesitant, made up his mind instantly. If for no other reason, he had to stay just to see Qi Yuanliang's ugly face!
"I don't deserve the title of great talent."
"Sir, please don't underestimate yourself."
Brother, be more confident!
Qi Yuanliang's circle of friends is of high quality. Look at Xun Zhen and Jiang Sheng, who love and hate him. Which one of them is not a good worker? Qin Li under Wu Zhaode is also good. Which one of them does not have the way of scholars that ordinary scholars of literary mind seek but cannot obtain
Liao Jia in front of her would naturally not let her down.
After listening to Shen Tang and Liao Jia's thoughts, Gu Chi said: "..."
He raised his sleeves to hide the curve of his mouth.
He was aware that if he gloated over the misfortune of his lord in front of her, he would be in trouble if she caught him.
Jiang Sheng noticed his little action.
Cast a doubtful look.
Gu Chi used the secret language to transmit his voice, and his tone was strange: "I just hope that our lord will have no joy or love in the future..."
Seize the person's favor
What kind of weird way of being a scholar is this? Instead of being a traitor, you are doing the work of a strategist. It's really a mismatch between your profession and yours.
If the person the lord likes in the future is a living person...
Gu Chi didn't dare to think about that scene.
Jiang Sheng: “???”
Everyone had a meal of hot noodles, and before leaving, Shen Tang did not forget to announce an extra morning meeting tomorrow.
Qi Shan and the others subconsciously looked at Liao Jia.
Shen Tang coughed lightly: "It does have something to do with Shao Mei, but I am more worried about Shi Wu's recovery and making preparations in advance."
"According to the information reported by the spies, Shiwu is in chaos, the royal court is severely damaged, and its rule is not as good as before. It will not be able to invade the south within a few years." Chu Yao persuaded tactfully, saying that the current focus should be on governing Longwu and strengthening themselves.
Once Longwu County absorbs enough refugees, the conscription plan can be put on the agenda to expand the army to resist foreign enemies.
At this time, I'll give my attention to Shiwu...
"I just discussed with Shao Mei about the fragment of 'The Exploitation of the Works of Nature' that he obtained, and I suddenly had an idea. Why should the Ten Crows be unable to invade the south for several years?" Shen Tang said with a cold look in his eyes, "Wouldn't it be easier to just destroy them?"
Shiwu is a top-grade blood bag.
Ning Yan asked tentatively: "Raise troops again?"
Shen Tang rejected it: "To destroy the enemy, we don't have to use violence. The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield is visible to the naked eye, but the confrontation under the battlefield is even more difficult to guard against. When we went deep into Shiwu before, Xiandeng and Wangchao provided us with inspiration, but we were so busy recently that we almost forgot the backup plan we left behind. We can take this opportunity to split Shiwu internally, and then use business to make them return to poverty."
There are many money-making projects in the world.
Silkworms, weaving, dyeing, farming, and even iron smelting and salt making.
Not only can it build itself up, but it can also pit the enemy.
Yonggu Pass is firmly controlled by Shen Tang. How to smuggle, what to smuggle, and how to smuggle, isn't it she who has the final say
The Ten Wus suffered heavy losses in this defeat, and they were unable to plunder much cloth, salt and grain through the war, so they could only eat up all the food they had.
Isn't this giving people the opportunity to ask for too much
Chu Yao and his companions didn't know much about these details.
They all looked at Jiang Sheng and the other person.
"Sheng thinks this is feasible."
As long as the Ten Crows can no longer unite, they will be like a pile of loose sand that we don't need to fear. Won't they just let us crush them
Gu Chi: "Chi seconded the motion."
Shen Tang yawned.
"It's getting late, you guys should go to bed early."
Everyone bowed and left.
Qi Shan thought that it was just Liao Jia who was eating and staying for free, but he didn't expect that there was a little tail. The young lady of the Zhao family squatted outside the government office and waited for a long time before seeing them come out. She came forward with a gun on her back and complained: "Sir! You came out too late. You don't even have a place to stay."
Liao Jia pointed at Qi Shan and said, "We will be staying at his house for a while. He will provide us with food and drink. We don't need to worry."
Qi Shan said angrily: "You are really rude."
Liao Jia: "You're here to collect a debt and you're still being polite?"
Qishan's residence is not big. In addition to the master bedroom, there is only one guest room: "You two will make do with it tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the government office to see if there is any vacant room for you..."
The young lady from the Zhao family looked embarrassed.
Just as he was about to speak, Liao Jia raised his hand and put it on Qi Shan's shoulder, patting his chest with a sly smile: "Come on, let's sleep side by side tonight and have a good exchange, exchange!"
Qishan was so angry that his skin was covered with goosebumps.
