Cheng Xiaolian looked at the back of Xiao Er running into the hall and smiled bitterly: "Look, even a Xiao Er who runs into the hall knows what he has the ability to do, aren't you planning to rely on me?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at him: "Let me tell you, I am not the same person I was a few years ago, I admit that I was indeed a little naïve at that time, I only cared about reading according to the book, and I didn't know the specific situation of the princes from all walks of life, so I dared to make a big statement, do you know what I have done in the past two years?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian turned around and walked to the side: "I'm not interested in knowing." ”

Jia Xu hurriedly got up from the ground: "I went to Wu Sangui's army to be a staff member, and I have already become a general's staff, as soon as I heard that Daming raised the banner to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I knew that it was you, and I hurried over to join you, just by virtue of this friendship, do you have to give me a big official." ”

Cheng Xiaolian stopped: "Jia Xu, why can't I see the shadow of a scholar from you?" Look at you like this, you're even more scoundrel than the green skin on the street. ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Your Highness, you can be content, Liu Xuande invited Zhuge Liang, but after three visits to the thatched house, now I have taken the initiative to come over to you, saving you how much trouble?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Then you give me a staff first, I'll see your ability, the first thing, I want to find a businessman to be the imperial businessman, first, we have a lot of things we need that are inconvenient to get by ourselves, let him get them somewhere else, second, we also have a lot of good things in our hands, and we want to ask someone to sell them, but just now I just met the hall master of Chengdu Shangtang, he is not willing to cooperate with us at all, for fear that we will swallow his silver, if you solve this matter, then talk about the things left, if you can't solve it, I advise you to find a place to teach, it just so happens that Mr. Gu and they are going to open a academy in Du Fu's thatched cottage. ”

Jia Xu coughed: "I can't do it alone?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Zhang Peng: "You go and do it with him, remember, don't kill people, don't be rude." ”

Zhang Peng nodded and glanced at Jia Xu: "Master Jia, please command." ”

Jia Xu looked at Cheng Xiaolian's distant back and shouted, "I will definitely surprise you." ”

"Just don't make too much trouble."

Yang Youcai followed behind Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, who is this person?" ”

"Hehe, a nerd I met when I was in Yunnan, the first time I saw him, I had to pull me to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore my sight, and I almost slapped him to death. Later, I don't know where to go, and now that we meet, we can be regarded as old friends, since he wants to do it, I will give him a chance. ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "I've seen a lot of people like this, but they are all ruffians who haven't read books, this person seems to be a sage who has read books, this world is really strange." ”

Cheng Xiaolian returned to his residence, and after a while, Yang Youcai received the news from Jinyiwei, and hurriedly came over to find Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, Lord Qin's side is going very well, and I said that in ten days, those places will be in our hands." In the whole of Sichuan, except for the three prefectures in the hands of Wu Zhimao, the others are in our hands. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "This is only the first step, although these places are nominally in our hands, but it will take a long time to really return to the heart, tell Lord Qin, according to our plan, spread the news of tax exemption, and then absorb the people of other places, and pay attention to guarding against spies, I will send Confucius over to help him do this." ”

Chengdu has almost stabilized, a person in Cao Ying's heart in Han Lawson can basically solve most of the problems, but the process Xiaolian still plans to talk to Lawson, he is really worried that one day he will wake up, people told him that Lawson ran away again, Jinyiwei can prevent him by being vigilant now, but only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves.

The next day, Cheng Xiaolian came to the governor's mansion and found Lawson, who was checking the official documents, and saw that Cheng Xiaolian didn't even mean to stand up, and still sat motionless.

Cheng Xiaolian sat on the chair next to him: "I said Lao Luo, aren't you still angry with me." ”

Luo Sen didn't raise his head: "How dare I be angry with His Highness, I am just a mixed meal under His Highness, and no one dares to offend His Highness." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Don't talk to me about these useless things, I said that you have also seen it these days, we won a big war, the whole Sichuan soon successfully transitioned and got on the right track, and the people began to return to normal life, do you really plan to spend it like this all the time?" ”

Rosen put down the brush in his hand: "To be honest, you are indeed very talented, but it is still the same sentence, the timing is not right, you have no chance, the better you do now, the more difficult it will be to accept the bitter fruit of failure in the future, so I still say that sentence, don't waste your efforts." ”

Cheng Xiaolian scratched his head: "Look, you are now the governor of Sichuan under me, counting me, you have already been the governor of three families, I don't mind how many governors you have been, can others tolerate you?" At that time, it will not be a crime of beheading, so it is better to do it with me, and it should be a gamble. ”

Rosen sneered: "If it weren't for you, I would have settled down in Liujiazhuang now, and now I'm here to be a good person, saying that you are saving me, if you really save me, let me go." ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "Forget it, the two of us will never be able to reach a consensus on this point, don't discuss it anymore, you work hard for me, if the general trend is gone, I will definitely let you live." ”

Rosenpi smiled: "I hope so, but I am worried that His Highness will kill his eyes when the time comes, so he will have to pull me to accompany the funeral." ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "If you accompany the funeral and pull Mr. Gu and them together, it will also look more tragic." It's too frustrating to be buried with you. Do you really have no wishes in this life? When Wu Sangui comes, you will descend to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui is not a you, and you want to be incognito, what are you living for? Just to leave the word Rosen to your children and grandchildren? ”

The two of them didn't speculate, Cheng Xiaolian soon left the governor's mansion, but Rosen fell into deep thought, he really didn't have any grand goals in this life, he simply wanted to be safe and rich, if he didn't have great wealth, it would be good to protect his family peacefully.

As for what the sages say in the book, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. It seemed meaningless to him, and having seen too much deceit, he understood that this era was no longer an era in which sages were needed.

As for Cheng Xiaolian, he is not so anxious, this conversation made him understand that the overall situation has not been settled, and Rosen should not take risks, because he is very sorry for his life.
