The bright moon is slanting to the west, and the night is quiet!
The banquet that was destined to make countless people unable to sleep finally came to an end. Countless people left with mixed emotions. Most of them were "escorted" by Jurong soldiers and would be "protected" for a period of time!
City Lord's Mansion, living room!
"As expected of a warrior demon, he is indeed a young and talented man!"
Shopkeeper Sun handed over two stacks of lists and praised sincerely from the bottom of his heart. He then added: "I have spent half my life in the business world, but I have to marvel at the wisdom of Magistrate Wu. I am ashamed of myself!"
"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Sun! I'm so proud of you. I have to ask Shopkeeper Sun for more care and guidance in the future!"
Wu Xin had a very good impression of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce and responded without any pretense.
"This is the real list, this is the announcement list..."
Shopkeeper Sun smiled, didn't bother much, pointed to the two stacks of lists and said.
The real list is countless times longer than the announced list and is several feet thick.
On it, there is everything you need including gold coins, finances, treasures, skills, real estate, weapons and armor, food, silk and satin, etc., and after each paragraph, there is an estimate of the total value!
Based on shopkeeper Sun's final summary, it was estimated that... it would be over 23 million gold coins.
There were only a few announcement lists, and only gold coins. Who gave out how many gold coins, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of gold coins, the total... less than 200,000 gold coins!
The two are a hundred times different!
"call……"
After flipping through the pages roughly, Wu Xin let out a long breath, filled with surprise and anger, and sighed with murderous intent: "What a cancer! A group of cancers..."
If he had not just arrived, had not yet taken power, and had no time, let Wu Xin suppress him iron-bloodedly or slowly plot it. Wu Xin really wanted to go on a killing spree and kill most of the people on the list.
Apart from anything else, Wu Xin has not yet completely controlled the Jurong army, which has really pushed these people into a panic. Wu Xin cannot suppress them. It is very likely that they will be overthrown, allowing an insurgent army to appear in Jurong County in advance.
Now, we can only rack our brains to find a balance, grasp the balance, and try our best to control Jurong as quickly as possible while racing against time!
Let Jurong County truly become our own territory!
With more than 20 million gold coins, plus the gains from confiscating the houses of Gao Huan, Li Zhihe, etc., plus the autumn taxes, etc., it is enough for Wu Xin to let go of his hands to govern and develop!
Shopkeeper Sun thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is Magistrate Wu's actions tonight really to benefit the people?"
"Of course, this is fundamental!"
Wu Xin straightened his body, his face showed solemnity and determination, he answered seriously, and then continued: "If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes!"
"Well said! I finally know why Magistrate Wu is so valued by the higher-ups!"
Shopkeeper Sun's eyes lit up and he responded loudly.
From Wu Xin's answer, Shopkeeper Sun knew that it coincided with the core ideas of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce that aimed to protect the world!
Of course, there is a huge difference in level between the two. Wu Xin is obviously still relatively immature, and the worst thing to say is... too low-level.
"Upper level?" Wu Xin was moved and asked in surprise.
Thinking back carefully, Wu Xin really felt that the Penglai Chamber of Commerce was too good.
In particular, the spoils of war were dumped to the Penglai Chamber of Commerce several times. According to what Liu and others said and what Wu Xin later learned, the Penglai Chamber of Commerce generally does not accept spoils of war and does not do low-level business.
"Uh...gaffe! gaffe!"
Shopkeeper Sun's expression froze and he responded quickly.
Seeing Wu Xin's obvious disbelief, shopkeeper Sun smiled bitterly and continued: "If you can say it, I will naturally say it, so don't embarrass me Wu Xin!"
"Understood! Next, I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Sun more! Penglai rules, this county understands, just do what you have to do, no need to embarrass you!"
When it comes to friends, Wu Xin is quite conscious and will not embarrass the other person and responds readily.
Funding is only the most basic condition, just the beginning.
The real planning has just begun...
…
After shopkeeper Sun left, Wu Xin did not rest, but smoothed out his thoughts before signaling to Uncle Hong.
Not long after, nine officers in military uniforms filed in.
The leader was an old man with gray hair and beard, followed by others of different ages. The youngest one looked to be in his teens, quite immature!
These nine people are all Jurong City's generals and generals. Three of them are officers led by Gao Huan. After investigation and evaluation, they are still useful; the remaining six did not participate in the dinner and were summoned late at night!
"Sun Yuan, please see the general!"
The old man, who was the leader, was the first to receive the ceremony, and then introduced them one by one:
"This is the partial general, Li Chunliang..." He is an introverted, shy, seemingly innocent young man with a fair face and a handsome face.
"This is General Wang Xiao..." He is a young man with strange eyes, as if his pupils are dilated, and his life is decadent.
"This is General Duan Feng..." He is a seemingly bohemian and chivalrous young man, who is more like a Jianghu man than an officer.
…
"This is General Pi, Sun Butong..." Finally, he introduced a young man with elegant temperament, comeliness and tenderness.
As far as Wu Xin knew, Sun BuTong was Sun Yuan's grandson and one of Sun Yuan's greatest prides.
However, being able to put his grandson at the end without introducing him specifically is enough to prove that Sun Yuan is indeed an upright and fair person, and he should also be a bit old-fashioned.
No wonder he had to be favored by Gao Huan and other county captains. He still had great prestige in Jurong, and now he is the leader of Jurong generals.
"I believe you have heard what the county did tonight, so I won't say more! You have been able to serve under Gao Huan's power and have not been complicit in it! The county trusts and trusts your abilities and conduct.
value!"
After the introduction, Wu Xin was generous with his praise and gave great comments to the nine people, which aroused the interest of six people. The other three looked indifferent, a bit like a veteran who was just dawdling about.
Wu Xin didn't care either. He had no choice but to make himself seriously short of talents now.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Xin looked at Sun Yuan and asked seriously: "From now on, General Sun, are you confident that you can do well when you are promoted to county captain?"
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked and confused. Even Sun Yuan's expression changed and he looked at Wu Xin as if he was hallucinating.
Sun BuTong was so excited that he couldn't help but tugged at Sun Yuan's clothes and winked!
"I am grateful to you for your kindness, and I will serve you with my life! However, I am stupid and old and frail. I really don't dare to assume such an important position..."
Sun Yuan's old face changed several times, he sighed secretly, and declined hesitantly. Seeing Wu Xin's calm eyes and looking at him, Sun Yuan felt awkward for a while, and he couldn't help but feel brave, and his tone changed, he gritted his teeth and stood up and responded:
"Lord Qi! I am confident that I will do well!"
"Okay! Old General Sun, he is indeed getting stronger with age and his blood is still there. This county has seen the right person!"
Wu Xin's eyes lit up and he praised with joy.
At Sun Yuan's age, he had been in the army for fifty or sixty years. He was only a ninth-grade partial general, and he was only in the middle stage of Qi refining. Whether it was military ability, martial arts talent, or communication skills, he was definitely not much higher.
However, because of this, Wu Xin attaches more importance to it!
Talent can always be found if you are willing to put in the effort and dedication.
Experts are easier to recruit.
He has served as a ninth-grade partial general for more than 40 years and knows Jurong County and Jurong's military affairs inside out. Such character and experience are hard to find!
Of course, there must be the main reason for the suppression by various superiors. Otherwise, after serving as a partial general for more than forty years, even if he has no merit, he is just dawdling around. With seniority, not to mention county captain, being a county captain is more than enough!
At the same time, being able to serve as a partial general in Jurong County for more than 40 years without being transferred is really not something that ordinary people can achieve!
Today's Wu Xin lacks people like Sun Yuan the most.
Such people have the most amazing ability to rebound!
