…
After moving from the side house to three open rooms, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to practice the Pulse Condensation Technique given by Yao Dang. He first ordered people to move Siming Mountain's accumulated account books from King Weitian's room to his study, and then began to check the account books.
The materials in the warehouse are sorted out one by one.
On the first day of taking office, Xu Xing has to show off his internal affairs talents and convince everyone in the village.
Housekeeping...seems unimportant.
But just the preparation of military rations is enough to stump a group of green forest heroes.
Give a simple example.
If Siming Mountain's monthly military ration expenditure requires at least one hundred dan, under the coordination of mediocre people, it may cost 150 dan a month, or even two to three hundred dan.
But with the rationing of the talented people, it was enough to reduce it to only seventy shi of food a month, and it could also keep the soldiers and horses in the village well fed without affecting their combat effectiveness.
The remaining rations are enough to recruit twice as many soldiers.
This is the value of internal affairs talents.
Maybe I don’t have the ability to open source, but I definitely have the ability to reduce expenditure.
In just three days, Xu Xing sorted out all the inventory up and down Siming Mountain, rewrote it into an account book, and presented it to Yao Dang, the King of Mourning Heaven.
He used to be the Dian Mang Cheng, responsible for the collection of miscellaneous animals handed over by the shepherd supervisors.
In other words, he is the accountant of Taipu Temple.
"Fourth brother..."
"I don't know how many talented people there are in the imperial court like you."
After Yao Dang read the account books, he suddenly felt frustrated and asked Xu Xing.
He and King Wei Tian used to manage the internal affairs of Siming Mountain, and the account books compiled by the two of them were already settled in his opinion. But the account books Xu Xing presented to him were concise and clear, and every item of material could be calculated in detail.
Make the best use of it and arrange it appropriately...
The gap is really too big.
Xu Xing, on the other hand, was only an eighth-rank official in the imperial court.
Resisting the imperial court, raising an army to rebel... This was the first time he felt powerless.
"As numerous as the stars."
Xu Xing thought carefully for a while and gave the answer, "My younger brother is only a minor official in the imperial court. After serving as Dian Mang Cheng, he has not been promoted for two years. I think there must be people in the temple whose political achievements are higher than my younger brother's..."
enumerate!"
"Fourth brother..."
When Yao Dang heard this, he was speechless and laughed.
He understood the meaning of Xu Xing's words.
These words seemed to be modest, but in fact they were informing him of the decay of the court. If you think about it, people with Xu Xing's level of talent would definitely not be too many in the temple. But such talents are rare in the court.
Without promotion, there is no hope of promotion. It can be seen that even if the imperial court gathers the elites from all over the world, it will still be vulnerable.
"From now on, fourth brother, you will take care of the internal affairs yourself."
"Brother Yu, don't ask anymore."
Yao Dang plans to delegate power.
He was already busy with official duties and had no time to take care of internal affairs, so he asked his second son, Wei Tianwang, to serve as the housekeeper of the village. Now that he was here in Xu Xing, he was ready to follow suit.
"You are the fourth brother..."
"Not my subject."
Seeing that Xu Xing was about to refuse, Yao Dang grabbed Xu Xing's right arm and stopped him from bowing down. "The internal affairs of the village are what the eldest brother promised in front of the brothers in the village. I will leave them to you! If you want to do anything,
Report to me, what should brothers think of me?"
"The cottage is not my private property."
He repeated this sentence again.
It's just that it's not in front of King Kun Tian, but in front of Xu Xing.
If Xu Xing really intends to tamper with the account books, Yao Dang, the king of mourning, believes that with his ability, he should not be able to see the fishiness in it... Instead of asking about everything and showing that he is suspicious of Xu Xing, why not be more direct and generous?
, Don’t use it if you doubt it, don’t doubt it if you employ it.
The ability of old officials to make false accounts is difficult for ordinary people to compare with.
Not to mention everyone who is proficient in arithmetic...
"Thank you, brother, for your attention."
Seeing that Yao Dang didn't seem to be faking it, Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and agreed.
He didn't know whether Yao Dang's actions were due to his red horoscope [Reform] or for other reasons. After all, the introduction to the [Reform] horoscope said: 'Innovation of the tripod will eliminate the accumulated disadvantages of the past dynasties, and it will be easy to win.
The Lord favors you.'
【Reform】The destiny makes it easier for him to gain Yao Dang's trust.
But among them, his caution in everything is also indispensable.
He did not get involved in military power, so Yao Dang trusted him more than others when he used him.
…
Walk out of Taxue Pavilion where King Mou Tian lives.
Xu Xing rubbed his eyebrows.
Yao Dang treated him with such sincerity, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He entered Siming Mountain with really bad intentions. He wanted to use Siming Mountain as a stepping stone to fight for supremacy in the world, destroy the Shenjing, and pursue his own blood feud...
Whether it is Chang Ji or the three heavenly kings, he always intends to take advantage of them.
But now….
"Why do you think so much?"
"Su Qin said, 'Let me have two hectares of land in Luoyang and be able to wear the seals of the six kingdoms.' At first, Cao Cao just wanted to be granted a title based on merit and become a general of the Han Dynasty in the Western Conquest."
"If it gets to that point, it won't be up to me to make the decision."
Xu Xing calmed down.
It is an instinct to seize power.
If you are willing to take a step back, everything will be out of your control from now on.
Step back, step by step, until your feet touch the cliff, and all you have to do is jump.
If you don't let me down, I will never let you down...
Power struggles are always bloody.
Only when he holds his fist can he have the ability and qualifications to show loyalty.
Instead of waiting for the sword to come, begging for mercy from others.
It is impossible to tie your life to someone else!
He has already been in prison once, and he will not make the same mistake again in the future!
"Fourth brother."
"This is the long knife you asked me to make for you."
While Xu Xing was daydreaming, King Kun led his crowd and walked over from the northwest corner of the village. When he was about ten steps away from Xu Xing, he woke up Xu Xing and threw a sheathed long knife in his hand to Xu Xing.
.
"Thank you, third brother."
Xu Xing came to his senses and took the long knife with one hand.
He held the scabbard under his ribs, pulled out the sword and saw that the sword was piercingly sharp and sharp.
"Good knife!"
He complimented casually.
Siming Village has gathered a lot of heroes, many of whom have a background as blacksmiths. In Siming Village, King Kun has more control over Wuhu Hall.
Therefore, Xu Xing asked King Kun to help him make a long knife for self-defense.
"Fourth brother, you said you are a scholar..."
"If you want to match it, it's also a gentleman's sword, but I want to get a long sword..."
King Kuntian was a little puzzled.
He thought Xu Xing asked him to make a sword, but when he went to the blacksmith shop to pick up a weapon, he discovered that the thing Xu Xing asked him to help make was not a sword, but a long knife with a strange shape.
"Third brother, this is why you are pedantic."
"Who said... a scholar can't be a swordsman?"
Xu Xing put the long knife on his waist, held the account book in his hand, and said with a smile.
The long knife he asked King Kun to forge was none other than the Guanshan knife popular in the Qin Province of the replica world. This kind of long knife looks like a simple sword made in the Song Dynasty, but it has a shorter handle than the simple sword.
He doesn't know how to use a sword and can only use the sword skills taught by Master Ma.
"really……"
"No one stipulates that scholars can only be swordsmen."
King Kuntian slapped his head and said to himself that he was confused.
Xu Xing, a scholar...how can we just take him lightly?!
