Today's Great General's Mansion has been closed for a long time. （）

Even though it was the third watch, the general's mansion was still brightly lit, and the entire street outside the mansion gate began to be closed to cars and horses early, just so as not to hinder the huge flow of people coming and going in a hurry.

The mansions that were originally located around the General's Mansion were moved out one after another, allowing the General's Mansion to continue to expand and occupy a square exclusively, so that it could barely accommodate people who came in and out every day. After the expansion, the General's Mansion, there are no houses around it, and the main gate is rarely opened, and the side doors are replaced with the main entrance, which also has to make way for the General's Mansion.

It stands to reason that this has a great impact on the surroundings, but no one complains, firstly, this is the Great General's Mansion, and secondly, the mansions that can be adjacent to the Great General's Mansion are mostly officials and generals in important positions in the government or the army, and thirdly, even the most ordinary people in the neighborhood can clearly feel what this change means.

One only needs to look at the changes in the daily location of the officials and military generals and scribes in the government and the army to know the changes in power in the city during the Ten Days. In the past, the government and the army were clearly distinguished, the people in the government went to the county office, and the people in the army either went to the school field or went to the camp outside the city.

This change has probably changed subtly since the war two months ago.

If in the past, people in the government and the army only had the slightest respect for the great general on their heads, then after the battle of the castle, everyone quickly changed their attitude and regarded the general as the unique master of the Decameron City.

The root of this great change comes from the great power shown by the great general in the battle under the city, a real overlord realm powerhouse, who played a decisive role in this battle. The existence of this overlord realm powerhouse, in addition to the irreplaceable huge combat exploits created in the battle under the city, its own deterrent power is enough to make everyone put away their careful thinking and honestly serve the general as the co-master.

In addition, now that Qu Cifang has left, the only person who can compete with the General's Mansion in terms of power is gone, and there is no thing in the city that can balance the General's Mansion in the past ten days.

The civil rule and military power are all in one place, and finally the General's Mansion really has the atmosphere that a prince should have.

"General, I want to ask, is the general really so optimistic about Quzhi County, or does he have any other intentions?"

Listening to the desk on the side of the political hall, Shao Jun put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his temples, groaned slightly, and asked in the direction of the middle of the hall.

It stands to reason that this is not a question he should ask, but since he wants to write a sincere invitation to Qu Cifang to return to regain the power of the county government, he has to ask a clear answer to this question, so that he can consider how to write.

On the main seat in the hall, Liu Heng opened his eyes, "Although I was the master of the Ten Days City, he took over later, and all the plans and strategies in the city were his handiwork. And his ability, we all have to see, it can be said that the reason why the battle under the city can be won is behind his merits. It would be a pity for such a great talent to have nowhere to display his talent just because he avoided suspicion. As for the master behind him, I didn't care, but felt that it had become a barrier in the way. ”

Such an answer was clear enough, Shao Jun still tasted it for a while, and made sure that Liu Heng was telling the truth, so he asked again: "The news that the seat of the magistrate is waiting for has already spread, and now there are many people in the city, obviously only for the post of magistrate, if the general is bent on wanting Qu Zhixian to return, how should these people be handled?"

Liu Heng shook his head, "Qu Cifang is indeed my favorite candidate for the magistrate, but when the invitation is sent out, he still has the original avoidance, in order to prevent his master from getting involved in the dispute of the prince early, the possibility of returning is really not large." So it's good that these people are here, and now the land is still expanding, and there is a need for available talents everywhere, since these people are here for the county, they must have some real skills, and they don't have to worry about not having a place to place them. ”

Shao Jun smiled bitterly, "If you are afraid, you are afraid of being arrogant, these people may not be able to look at other positions." ”

Liu Heng said indifferently: "This is a consensual deal, the talents who can stay with peace of mind regardless of their position, but what we want the most, those who pick and choose, can't even bear temporary grievances, how dare they entrust them with heavy responsibilities? ”

Hearing that he had made up his mind, Shao Jun didn't ask any more, and turned his head to ponder how to write the letter inviting Qu Cifang to return.

"General, the Lihe people have been waiting for half an hour. ”

Seeing that he was about to close his eyes again, the scribe who had been waiting for a long time next to him hurriedly made a report.

Liu Heng frowned when he heard this, and finally resisted the urge to reprimand, and said while standing up beside him: "In the future, you must remember that no matter when the Li He people arrive, they must tell me as soon as possible." ”

This scribe's heart was full of bitterness, but he could only respectfully promise and plead.

Not long after he first came, he saw that the general was hurrying up to practice, so he didn't dare to disturb, but he didn't think that it would be his fault. As for the others, they also secretly paid attention to it and truly understood the status of the Li He clan in the heart of the general.

It has long been rumored that the general entered the secret realm and was rumored to be dead, and it was the Li He clan who saved the general's life by chance, and later escaped here with the help of the general. Now it seems that this rumor is true, only the grace of saving lives, and this kind of origin, can make the general treat them so differently.

Liu Heng was exempted from the crime, and hurriedly walked outside the hall, seeing this, the entire Tingzheng Hall was busy, and countless scribes and strategists hurriedly picked up the important copywriting at hand and quickly followed.

"Mr. Huang, I have seen the city plan you submitted, and the plan you made before is very good, but as Quzhi County said before leaving, there are some differences between the planning and today's Ten Day City, and in order to seek the long-term, it is indeed necessary to make changes on the basis of the original. On the way forward, without waiting for Huang Rushi next to him to speak, Liu Heng took the lead and said, "I'm afraid that the matter of changing can only be entrusted to Mr. carte blanche, and please ask Mr. to bother more." ”

Huang Rushi arched his hand and smiled: "It's enough to have a general's words, this is a matter of humble position, and it can't be bothered or bothered." The lowly post went to draft a new plan, and when the draft came out, it was submitted to the general for approval, and the lowly post resigned. ”

After that, he led the four scribes and was about to leave, but the crowd around Liu Heng couldn't see the slightest decrease.

"Mr. Huang is slow, there is still one thing that Mr. needs to work on. ”

Summoned by Liu Heng, Huang Rushi hurriedly stopped and arched his hand: "Please give the general's orders." ”

Liu Heng said helplessly: "Originally, the military equipment in the city was supplied by the imperial court, but now there are many soldiers and horses, but the supply of the imperial court has not increased or decreased, and there is a huge vacancy in this regard." With the remaining military equipment of the soldiers and the replenishment of the Chamber of Commerce, we can barely cope with it in a short time, but it is not a long-term solution, so our own military workshop must be put on the agenda. ”

Huang Rushi had already noticed this, "What the general said is extremely true. ”

"It just so happens that the old patriarch of the Lihe tribe is here today, so why don't you come with me to meet them. Liu Heng continued while striding on the road: "They have been working in the workshop for generations, and their craftsmanship is exquisite, if you add your help, we will definitely be able to build the shelves of our own workshop." ”

Huang Rushi hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth, bowed and said, "Don't dare to deceive the general." Although he was born in a humble family, he has been involved in many aspects such as tools, formations, casting, etc., but people's energy is limited after all, and my family often only selects one or a few aspects for further study, and there are few all-round talents. For example, the director is not good at tools and casting. ”

Liu Heng frowned slightly, and said with a headache: "Now Mr. Situation also understands that these things can be taken care of by Mr. Alone, and there are no more available people, so ......"

Without waiting for Liu Heng to finish speaking, Huang Rushi preemptively said: "General Qiyu, I have felt the situation in the city in recent days, and I have already posted a post in the school to invite the real talents in the school to come. Now there are three scholars of the school who have been invited, among which Senior Brother Gu Ningqi is good at craftsmanship and casting. Senior Brother Gu is a rare genius in the school, and now he is thirty-five years old, and he is at the peak of his life, and his academic ability is not weaker than that of the famous school, if the general does not dislike it......"

Liu Heng showed joy when he heard this, and pretended to be unhappy and said: "This is what Mr. is, knowing that there is a shortage of people everywhere in the city, but he still hides such a big talent at home, if he had told me earlier, why would he be troubled at this moment?"

Although it was a reproach, Huang Rushi could naturally hear it, and his expression showed great fluctuations at the moment, and he snorted: "After all, we are industrial students, and it is okay for a low-end like me to not attract attention." But like Senior Brother Gu, they are different, their reputation is outside, especially attention-grabbing, I am afraid that they will not be able to help the general much, but the general will cause trouble for no reason. ”

The Gongjia was extremely brilliant in the pre-Qin period thousands of years ago, but it went into decline with the pre-Qin, and was inexplicably suppressed by the rest of the hundred schools, and few people dared to openly take in and appoint the workers, which has become a subtle rule for thousands of years. Up to now, not to mention that all forces have scruples about the workers, the workers are also very scruples about the forces of all parties, which makes the situation of the workers more and more difficult, and there is a danger of severing the inheritance.

In this situation, the workers are always looking for change, they need an opportunity to return to the world and revive the school, but such an opportunity is really difficult to find.

Huang Rushi's words made Liu Heng feel the intention behind the Gongjia, which was obviously a temptation. If Liu Heng really dares to use the outstanding students of the Gongjia who have attracted the attention of various families, and can withstand the pressure of the other hundred, then he may be able to get more investment from the Gongjia.

There is no doubt about the talent of the workers, if it can really be done, there is no doubt that it will help Liu Heng. However, this is the coexistence of opportunities and risks, whether it can resist the resistance and suppression of the other hundred schools, even Liu Heng himself does not know.

"Actually, Mr. doesn't have to have so many concerns, we are thirsty for talent in Decameron City, and anyone who has the ability never asks about their background, Mr. should understand this. ”

Although there are risks, Liu Heng attaches more importance to the harvest, especially when the Holy Tribulation is coming faster and faster, he is worried day by day, and he will not miss any opportunity to enhance the strength of Ten Days City. As for the risks behind it, that is something that should be considered later, and Liu Heng is too lazy to think about it now.

"In this way, if Mr. Gu hasn't rested yet, please invite Mr. Gu to come, and let's take a look at the preparation of the workshop first. ”

Huang Rushi was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed down excitedly and said: "He is now under the general's mansion, so he will send someone to summon him, at most for a while, he will be able to meet the general." ”

"It stands to reason that I should visit in person, but Mr. He also saw it, I am riddled with miscellaneous things here, and I can't get out at all, so I ask Mr. to apologize to Mr. Gu on my behalf, and I hope he will be more considerate. Liu Heng said apologetically: "We'll meet at the small hall later, and come with me to meet the Lihe people." ”

Huang Rushi hurriedly sent his entourage to look for someone, and then retreated to the back of the crowd.

Before Liu Heng could breathe a sigh of relief, several more people crowded in front of him, scrambling to speak out, all of them rushing to report on the matter at hand.

"General, now that we have captured most of Yuezhou, we are competing with the other five kings on the same stage, and we have already won the championship. "It was Zhao Yi who spoke, he spoke the fastest, and grabbed the front, "But don't say anything else, the ceremonial room is still like a grass platform team, and it can barely cope with it, but the other princes send envoys to arrive, but there is a hidden danger of being laughing and generous." ”

Seeing that Liu Heng didn't care too much, Zhao Yi's expression became more and more solemn, "General, this matter must not be taken lightly, this is our façade after all, if it is not polite, it will definitely be laughed at by all parties." Especially now, the envoys of the other four kings are about to arrive, and if they don't come up with a proper charter, they may be uncertain. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, his expression immediately changed, "The envoys of the four kings are coming soon?"

Zhao Yi arched his hand and said: "I heard that they have entered the territory of Yuezhou, and it will be time to enter the city in about two or three days." ”

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

Since a month ago, some people have been sending news through various channels, and when the General's Mansion confirms that the news is true, it will be solemnly waited.

Because the source of the news came from four of the six kings, they faintly revealed the intention of discussing important matters. In the battle for the crown prince, four of the six princes who are known as the most successful are arraigned at the same time, and no one dares to ignore such a situation.

After deliberation, while agreeing to send envoys from the Quartet to the secret discussion, the General's Mansion sent a large number of secret agents and began to inquire about the news everywhere. The matter that can make the four parties dispatch at the same time is a big deal in itself, and the matter they are going to discuss with Liu Heng is naturally even more trivial, if they can't find out the intention of the four kings in advance, they are afraid that they will be too passive during the secret discussion.

However, what is a headache is that the four kings seem to have sealed things extremely tightly, and they did not reveal the slightest rumor, if they didn't take the initiative to speak out, Liu Heng wouldn't even know about it. In such a situation, it is difficult to rely on the clumsy spy room to find out accurate information.
