Soon after entering Yuzhou, the potters and Jiang Gan met unexpectedly.

Full of pets is patrolling this area. Seeing the more than 2,300 neatly dressed soldiers, the potter was startled. Jiang Gan hurriedly asked him not to be nervous, he had received the news before, he knew the existence of Manzhong, and he also had foresight, Du Yi was this kind of style, and everyone under Sun Ce knew it.

Jiang Gan led the potter to meet with Manzhong. Man Pet was sitting under the shade of a tree munching on dry food and drinking cold water. Seeing Jiang Gan walking briskly, he hurriedly put down the half-eaten dry food, and while getting up, he handed his hand to his mouth, put the dry food crumbs in his palm into his mouth, and patted his shirt.

"Mr. Ziyi, look up for a long time."

Jiang Gan laughed. "You raid your house every day, and you don't have tens of millions of dollars in your hand, why do you eat this?"

"Haha, Mr. Ziyi said with a smile. Nowadays, there are many places for generals to spend money, and no matter how much money there is, it is not enough, and it is a little bit that can be saved. Man Zhong glanced at the soldiers behind him. With so many people, eating every day is a big expense. ”

Jiang Gan nodded with satisfaction. "The general didn't misread you. You will be a person who can do great things in the future. Don't sir, I'm not that old. If Berning doesn't dislike it, let's be equal. ”

Man Zhong smiled and said, "Then I'll take the liberty of it, Brother Ziyi." ”

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Tao Boyun, the eldest son of the Xuzhou Mu Tao Gong."

Full of favor and comprehension, he immediately greeted the potter. The potter had heard of some favorites, but he didn't usually pay much attention to them. There are too many capable people under Sun Ce's command, and he can't remember them at all. At this moment, seeing that Man Chong had just been in the curtain for a few months, he had been so reused by Sun Ce, leading 2,000 people to inspect the prefectures and counties, and he couldn't help but be speechless. This Sun Ce really dares to use people, and he was promoted too quickly. Isn't he afraid that other people will have opinions? Improper employment is not only unhelpful, but harmful. Tao Qian has been in Xuzhou for so many years, but he has not been able to find a few useful talents.

Man Chong and Jiang Gan exchanged the situation. After he took office, he rushed to Runan as soon as possible. When Liu He and others entered the country, the family in Runan jumped the most fiercely, and there were several who killed the county magistrate and seized the county seat. Many families knew that this time it was difficult to escape, and their families took refuge, most of the eastern ones went to Xiapi and Guangling, and the southern ones hid in the mountains, and there were many thieves in the Shaobi area. Fortunately, there are more than 2,000 people in Manpet, but no one dares to come to him for trouble.

People can run, soft can be taken away, but land and real estate can't be taken away, full of pets to collect a large amount of land and residences, every day to settle accounts. It's just that there is a lot of money in the account, but the actual handling is very limited, and sometimes even basic food is a problem. Several nearby county warehouses were robbed by Liu He with the three thousand Hu cavalry, and now there is a shortage of food, and the county pavilions along the way cannot supply so many people, and there is no way to take the lead in gnawing dry food. If conditions permit, he also wants to improve the food for his subordinates.

The potter had been watching and listening to the sidelines, and he sighed with emotion. Regardless of whether the full favor is to buy people's hearts or really share weal and woe with the soldiers, it is not easy for him to do this, Sun Ce did not look at the wrong person.

How do you learn this skill?

——

At the end of March, Sun Ce rushed to Pingyu.

He did not go into the city to live, but set up camp by Gepi. The workshop has been rebuilt, the destroyed houses have been repaired, and the slain artisans are buried in the mass cemetery next to the workshop. Those soldiers who died in battle but could not return to their hometowns were also buried here, and if they were a family, they should be buried together as much as possible.

The funeral was very solemn, and Sun Ce personally attended to pay tribute to the victims. At the same time, he announced the bereavement package. Although there are many places to spend money, he still manages to allocate a lot of resources to give priority to the bereavement pension, so that those who have lost their relatives can feel at ease.

To this end, Yuan Quan has made great efforts. She negotiated with the housewives of the Runan family and borrowed money from them to help Sun Ce tide over the difficulties in front of her. Her hard work is obvious to all, Mrs. Wu said to Sun Ce in front of everyone, you have to cherish her, except for her, none of us can do this.

In front of Mrs. Wu, Sun Ce only agreed to accept them one by one. After the banquet, after he reported Sun Jian's matter to Mrs. Wu, he staggered to the backyard, standing at the gate of the courtyard, he looked at the east chamber, and then at the west chamber, and hesitated for a while. After hesitating for a while, he still went to the West Chamber.

The west chamber is Yuan Quan's sister's room. Sun Ce stood in front of the window, leaned forward and looked in, but didn't see Yuan Quan, only Yuan Heng sat in front of the desk, holding his cheeks, as if he was reading a book, and seemed to be in a daze. Sun Ce coughed. Yuan Heng raised his head and saw that it was Sun Ce, so he hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"General, why are you here?"

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Ce took off his shoes and said, "Listen to what you mean, shouldn't I come?" ”

Yuan Heng hurriedly said: "The general said that he laughed, how dare the concubine." As he spoke, he led Sun Ce to the desk and sat down, and prepared tea. Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw her running before and after herself, like a little adult.

"Where's Sister Quan?"

"I don't know." Yuan Heng's little face was flushed, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Sun Ce was even more suspicious, staring at Yuan Heng again and again. "I really don't know?"

"Uh...... She went to Sister Yin's room. Yuan Heng lowered his head, and even his neck turned red.

Sun Ce blinked blankly, he didn't know what Yuan Heng was doing, what was strange about Yuan Quan going to Yin Jiao's room, she was the eldest sister of several women, and she had always taken care of the affairs in the backyard. Sun Ce didn't ask again, picked up the book on the case and looked at it, and found that it was an account book, and he remembered that most of them were expenses, and the amount was not small, and the smallest one had hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"What is this account?"

Yuan Heng reached out to fetch it, a little flustered. Sun Ce grabbed it, held Yuan Heng's wrist, and dragged her over. Yuan Heng was a little flustered, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he refused to use force, and his face was as red as sunset. Sun Ce said unhurriedly: "You are thirteen this year, right?" ”

Yuan Heng stammered, "Ten ...... Twelve. ”

"Is it twelve?" Sun Ce looked Yuan Heng up and down, smiling rather than smiling. "How do I think you've grown up a lot, and you look like you're thirteen."

"I ...... I ......" Yuan Heng was about to cry.

Sun Ce pulled Yuan Heng over and sat on his lap. He could feel Yuan Heng's nervousness, his small body was trembling, and even the hair on his sideburns was trembling. He straightened her hair, fingers running over her hot face. "You're afraid of me?"

"The general is mighty, and countless heroes are stunned, not to mention that I am a weak woman."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "Who are you listening to?"

Yuan Heng was so embarrassed that his face was red, he didn't even dare to look at Sun Ce, lowered his head, bit his lip, and his heart beat like a drum. Just when she didn't know what to do, Sun Ce suddenly asked, "What kind of account book is that?" ”

"That's the ledger rebuilt by the workshop!" Yuan Heng blurted out, as soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized again, her face turned from red to white, she had to raise her tearful eyes to look at Sun Ce, and begged: "General, don't ask your sister, she said that you have too many things to worry about now, you can't even sleep well, you always have nightmares in the middle of the night, and you can't worry anymore." This money, we can solve it. ”

Sun Ce frowned, sighed lightly, and hugged Yuan Heng in his arms. "So...... Sister dismissed all your maids? ”
