Zhou Changshou was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "Chaotang is definitely not my ambition."

"But your ambition must be realized in the court."

Zhou Pingan sat down on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said a sentence that was neither salty nor bland, completely ignoring how tangled Zhou Pingan's mood was after hearing this sentence.

After taking a sip of warm tea, Zhou Pingan sighed.

I remember how much effort I put in and how much performance I had to do when I first came to the door to barely get the prince's approval, and how I am today.

Even so, the prince still didn't trust himself. He would throw himself to another place whenever he had the chance. He would never let himself stay in the same place for more than ten months.

He doesn't know how long he can retain his current position as Governor of the Tax Desk. It may be his longest term.

Compared with Zhou Ping'an, although the prince never said it, Zhou Changshou could guess that the prince would definitely reuse his second brother directly.

Fortunately, the prince had long seen through the huge difference between his and his second brother's personalities. No matter how much power he was given, he would always feel at ease. As for himself... Zhou Changshou had a clear understanding, but it was

Use, but cannot reuse.

There is nothing better than this in the emperor's mind.

Whether the emperor is good or not is not about his ability to handle government affairs. No matter how strong a person is, how much government affairs can he handle, even if he does not eat or sleep for twelve hours a day? What's more, a person's energy is limited, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do so.

People get everything done.

Even a small county government office still has the county magistrate, chief registrar, master, and three teams and six rooms to help manage it, let alone such a huge empire?

Therefore, what reflects the emperor's level is the word "employment of people".

What kind of people should be used where and when should they be used? This is something that no matter how smart a person is, they may not be able to understand it after studying it for a lifetime.

······

At this time, Li Chen was indeed considering the issue of employment.

After returning from Yulin Mansion, before Li Chen could even take a breath, news came from the front line that the Liao army launched an all-out attack like a mad dog.

The Liao army, which was already marching rapidly, accelerated again. Their purpose seemed to be only one, which was to use their extremely high mobility to surround Suiyang County before the Qin army retreated.

Although this played into Wu Qingcang's plan, it brought about a problem... The Liao army was too fast.

From the original front line between the Liao Army and the Qin Army to Suiyang County, the distance between the two is a full 120 miles. No matter from which point of view, this 120 miles is a sufficient distance.

It was a strategic buffer zone, but once the Liao army desperately increased its speed, the speed of its sprint still caught the Qin army by surprise.

Wu Qingcang cupped his hands to Li Chen, who was sitting silently on the chair, and said: "Your Highness, the most important thing about the current plan is that Your Highness immediately retreats into Wolong Mountain. As for Suiyang County..."

"Suiyang County cannot be given away easily."

Li Chen frowned, took over Wu Qingcang's words, and said: "Suiyang County is located on a traffic artery. The most important thing is that it guards the intersection of official roads between Gansu and Shaanxi, and is the closest to Suiyang County.
