This year's spring flood in the Huaishui River is not intense, which is a good sign. Originally, Li Jie planned to go straight down the river and then return to Huaizhong City, but now, he chose to stop in Baiyi, but there was no fanfare.
On the surface, the Huaishui flagship has already brought some crocodiles and brave men to Huaizhong City.
In fact, President Li himself took his close associates and stopped in Xicheng and Baiyi successively, saying that he needed supplies and rest.
The anti-Han elements hidden by Cai Guo were almost exposed at this critical juncture.
Cai Guo’s method of “ruling” Cai Mei’s face has almost come to an end.
If Master Cai retires at this time, the candidate to replace him is Sikou Cai Xi. However, it is obvious that Cai Xi formed the staff team himself. The size of this staff team will definitely not be small, and the selection of members is not something Cai Xi can decide by herself.
.
Adding more sand to Cai Guo and arranging pro-Han personnel, this is the basic operation.
As for people-to-people exchanges, not to mention, for Cangtou Qianshou, it doesn't matter if he changes his family.
If you can earn a living, who can you work for?
While staying in Baiyi, Shang Wuji sent the information to his boss's desk. He knew that his boss was not interested in fighting Qilu.
But there are always people and things that the boss is interested in, right?
"What's the news?"
Li Jie patted his belly and found that the belly fat had disappeared a lot. People who were busy in Chu Land had lost weight. It really shouldn't have happened.
"Your Majesty, some of Qi Hou's sisters are going to Gaoyi for a visit. I heard that the stunning lady is also here."
"oh?!"
When he heard that it was not a boring national event, President Li became energetic and quickly said to his uncle, "What about that? The people from Qianchengyi are still in Huaizhong City. Go and ask them, if you can get that
I'm giving them a batch of equipment, Wu hooks, eagle feather arrows, and giving them a division!"
"..."
Shang Wuji was speechless, feeling very depressed in his heart, but he still forced himself to continue: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qi is old, and his sister is not young either. Only this stunning beauty is adopted, so..."
"I don't care about her, just tell me if you can get her here?"
"Yes. But it's a bit difficult." Shang Wuji said, opening the map to Li Jie, "Your Majesty, even if the people of the Gao family in Qiancheng County cooperate, it will not be easy to cross Jishui and Surabaya. Furthermore,
Many of the Gao family are married to the Marquis of Qi, and most of those old princesses are aunts, how can they offend them at will?"
"Tell the important point!"
"Why don't you personally lead the army to resist Qi and aid Lu? As long as you defeat the Qi National Alliance and force the Marquis of Qi to admit defeat and give in, you are just a princess, and Qi will not be willing to give up."
"In person again?"
President Li is in a battle between heaven and man. In fact, what he wants now is to have fun as a dog in Huaizhong City. As for national affairs, it can be handled directly by the eagle and dog minions, right?
He has to do everything, how tiring it would be.
He just wants to hug Meidan, Nuqiang, Shang Xiaomei...
Now he also wants to play golf, and even more want to play jade and enjoy flowers...
Fighting is risky, tiring, boring and uninteresting.
The gap between ideal and reality is not even the slightest bit big.
"Your Majesty, although Sha Hen has many generals and talents, he does not have much intimidation to the Qi Kingdom. Only Your Majesty, you are truly a powerful man!"
"Um……"
President Li is a little convinced. Going out to fight something like this, especially when the big boss personally takes action, will have a different effect.
No matter how awesome the top horse is, no matter how bluffing the double-spend ghost is, there are still salty fishes who are not afraid of death and want to make a comeback. Who knows which god wants to risk his life to stand out?
"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of effort.
My uncle Shang Wuji continued to persuade, "As long as you defeat the Marquis of Qi, why don't you obediently offer me the princess of Qi? When the time comes, with the power of victory, you can marry Princess Zhou Nan again, this..."
Shang Wuji stretched out two fingers and slowly brought them together: "Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"The best of both worlds...is this how it works?"
"Your Majesty, will you consider it?"
"What should I consider? Consider it. You have said so, so let's make a decision. If the news is spread, I will personally meet with Qi Hou!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
My uncle Shang Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly drafted an official document to announce it to all parties early.
Is it easy for him to negotiate with Wuji for the sake of this country?!
It breaks my heart.
If you don’t have the fate of the Prime Minister, you can control the Prime Minister’s heart!
There was also the Jiangyin Guild Hall in Baiyi, which organized manpower early and began copying Chinese characters.
Official documents are not only meant for people to see internationally, they are also a form of attitude internally.
We must strengthen our thinking and let the whole country know that the boss plans to take the lead in merging with Qi this time.
Whoever has the final say on Jisi Street depends on this shop. Come on, brothers!
At night, the watchman knocked twice, and Shang Wuji came out of the office to stretch himself. Some fried snacks similar to spring rolls were prepared in the kitchen for easy re-frying.
Work overtime, in the country of Han, as long as you are in the civil service system, there is no shortage of oil and water.
"Shangjun, the snacks are ready and the milk tea is warm, do you want to serve it?"
The attendants of the salary attendants are also tired. The boss in the office is a maniac about working overtime. Although the country has been founded, there is still no agreement on where the city will be.
I thought it would be Huaizhong City before, but now it seems that it may not be Huaizhong City for a while.
However, there is one thing that makes the attendants feel reassured, that is, the boss of the office, Shang Wuji, will definitely become the Prime Minister.
Even if he is not the Prime Minister, he must be at the level of a doctor.
At present, the work that Shang Wuji does is the responsibility of the princes, but the boss doesn't care about it, so he leaves it to Shang Wuji to do it.
The people below are also impressed, one dares to delegate power, and the other really dares to do things!
"The milk tea has been divided. Let's serve the snacks first. Are there any shortbreads?"
"There's not much lard left, so the puff pastry doesn't look very good."
"Then spread out some pancakes and add more chicken."
"There aren't many chickens left, but there are quite a few duck eggs. Mixing some 'amber wine' can also remove the smell."
"Then let's take duck eggs."
"Don't wait here, Mr. Shang, get ready now."
In the office, the copying of official documents continues. The printing is not impossible, but the yield rate of the paper is not up to par. It is good and bad. If the printing is not good, it will be useless. It is a waste of ink and paper, so it does not count.
It is the easiest to collect official documents. As long as you are literate, even if you are illiterate, you can still copy well.
However, Shang Wuji obviously still needs to recruit literate copywriters. There is no way, the official documents cannot make mistakes.
"Stay less and eat and drink less. Please work harder."
"Don't worry, gentleman, it will be finished by dawn."
"There is work, there is work..."
Shang Wuji cupped his hands, then sat back at his desk, picked up some documents and browsed through them. They were usually applications from local spring farming.
Apply for farm tools, reclamation tools, cattle, seeds, boats...
As long as a certain amount is exceeded, an application is required, and the actual needs and expenses must be explained in detail.
These all need to be approved by Shang Wuji.
The actual business volume is not large, but the responsibility is huge. In the past, Li Jie had to consider it alone, but now it is handled by Shang Wuji and others in pieces.
For example, Cai Guo's spring plowing is under the overall control of Cai Fuzi. As for matters such as public security, Cai Xi is responsible for it. Only when it reaches a large scale, Li Jie will send people to coordinate and handle it.
Huainan uses Shaopi as the dividing line and is divided into different areas. This is mainly related to the distribution of barbarian tribes. The closeness and distance of Huainan, as well as the former Huainan kingdoms, all depend on the people.
Gong Shuqin and Yun Zhenlu wanted to work hard in this area.
But overall, Shang Wuji's authority is relatively large, because he is not only a staff member, but also the chief steward of the entire Li Jie Group. In a foreign country, he can be regarded as a doctor, prime minister, or even a "deputy king"
Not an exaggeration.
Precisely because he is a big housekeeper, Shang Wuji has to be careful with his budget and increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
After Chu and Han won the war, they had to think about how to spend less money in Chu.
After the overall expenses increase, we have to think about making more money. Now, after the alliance between Qi and Lu, it is a good opportunity to make money.
Let me ask, how could Shang Wuji let it go?
"The snacks are here, let's all stand up and move around."
While Shang Wuji was giving instructions, he took something like a spring roll and stuffed it into his mouth.
It is packed with dried tofu, dried shrimps, minced vegetables, minced meat, and diced mushrooms. It has a great texture and is used as a late-night snack during overtime. It is very popular among overtime dogs.
"There is milk tea."
“And milk tea?!”
"One bowl, one bowl."
"I'll have a bowl too..."
There was a commotion for a while, and someone asked Shang Wuji while eating: "Shang Jun, didn't your Majesty say you want to go back to Huaizhong to rest for a while? Why do you have to go to Fucheng now?"
"Eat your food, why are you asking?"
Staring at the overtime bully who talked a lot of nonsense, Shang Wuji thought to himself: If I hadn't used the stunning beauty of Qi State as an excuse, would he be willing to take action himself? What a dream!
However, my uncle Shang Wuji is really dreaming. If he realizes his dream of "unifying the world", his status as the Shang family in Yinxiang will be passed down through the ages.
Sage kings and virtuous ministers, when future generations describe their era, can Shang Wuji be easily bypassed?
Thinking of this, I picked up the tea bowl and took a long sip.
