Zhao Shuo is still the same Zhao Shuo, but the gentleman Zhao Shuo seems to have a clear difference again.

"You have two choices, one is to be an official in the local area, and the other is to continue to follow me. How do you choose?"

Zhao Shuo's words were straightforward and very straightforward.

Wei Xiang gave the answer without hesitation: "Of course, Xiang wants to continue to follow the lord."

In fact, Wei Xiang had already thought about this issue.

Going to a place is the safest choice for most of the time, and it is inevitable to achieve political achievements as a time traveler in Wei Xiang.

But Zhao Shuo just took office and was about to complete the handover of Zhao Dun. This is the best time for a newcomer like Wei Xiang to take office. If you miss it, it would be too stupid.

Zhao Shuo didn't look surprised, patted Wei Xiang on the shoulder and smiled, "From now on, you will be my Zhao family's young concubine. By the way, your title is still a corporal? From today on, you will be a sergeant."

Wei Xiang took a deep breath and bowed to Zhao Shuo: "Thank you, Lord."

The young concubine's son, also known as his retainer, was his subordinate secretary in his later generations.

Because he can spend time with Zhao Shuo, this is a position that does not seem to have much real power but is actually extremely important.

If Wei Xiang used it well, he could mobilize the entire Zhao family's power by persuading Zhao Shuo.

Compared to Che You, this young concubine's son is the real official position, which also means that Wei Xiang officially becomes a retainer of the Zhao family from today.

Wei Xiang actually had no psychological barriers to being a retainer.

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the sect leader of the Han Han clan rose, Han Jue, the current Zhao clan retainer. Qin State was able to rise because Shang Yang, who once served as a retainer for Gongshuzhuo, the prime minister of Wei State, and Lin Xiangru, a famous minister of Zhao State, also served as a retainer in the mansion of the eunuch, Ling Xian, who was an eunuch.

More importantly, the Spring and Autumn Period and later generations were different from those of later generations. The retainers in later generations were just tools of the lords like slaves, and the retainers at this time were able to have great autonomy and personal dignity, and they could have equal dialogue and discussion with the lords on many occasions.

This is also the fastest way for Wei Xiang, a scholar, to make it happen. Who made Wei Xiang unable to inherit the title of Wei's grand minister?

To sum up, Wei Xiang felt that he could do it completely, no problem.

The benefits of choosing this path have actually been shown at this moment. The first one is of course Zhao Shuo’s trust and the position of Shaoshuo’s son, and the other is the title of this sergeant.

As we all know, the sage is the lowest among the titles of the Zhou Dynasty, divided into three levels: the sergeant, the sergeant and the sergeant. Wei Xiang was originally a sergeant.

When they really go to the battlefield, the corporal's luck is to become the commander of the sergeant (infantry), commanding five sergeant soldiers, that is, the squad leader of later generations. If they are lucky, the corporal can become the right or the steward of the chariot and follow the orders of the left chariot.

Of course, corporals are also nobles after all, and are born to be stronger than common people. If common people can become officials, they can only treat the same as corporals. The "Gongyang Zhuan" says, "The corporals and common people are in the same position as the corporals, and their salary is enough to replace their farming."

After being promoted to the sergeant, the most intuitive thing is that Wei Xiang's salary was doubled directly. Considering that Wei Xiang could not even receive a salary of one cent in the Wei family, this turned from a leniency to a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan in the instant.

With this salary, Wei Xiang could buy a very good house, get thousands of acres of land, raise dozens of hundred slaves, ten or eight soldiers and corresponding entourages, and then raise another chariot.

Sergeant is basically equivalent to the "fiscation knight" in the Western medieval fief system.

When going to war, the sergeant was stronger than the corporal, and could take the left hand of a chariot, that is, the position of the chariot commander.

If it is not a chariot soldier but a spouse, the sergeant can serve as the position of "Two Simas".

"Two" is a unit in the military system of Jin State, which is higher than "Wu". Each "Two" has five "Wu" in total, with a total of twenty-five people. Two Sima is responsible for commanding these twenty-five people, which is approximately equivalent to the platoon leader of later generations.

From the chariot soldiers to the chariot commander, from the sergeant (squad leader) to the two Simas (platoon leader), plus the doubled salary, land and houses, the promotion effect of the corporal to the sergeant is still very obvious and intuitive.

So Wei Xiang was really happy, and he was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

From now on, we will be the real knight master!

Just one wife is missing, and you can live a happy life.

A beautiful figure suddenly flashed through Wei Xiang's mind. It was the girl Ji Qi who had seen in Princess Zhuang Ji's tent a few days ago.

if……

Zhao Shuo smiled at Wei Xiang and said, "Okay, you've been busy enough today. Go back to your Wei camp to take a look."

Wei Xiang nodded and rode his horse and left quickly.

Although he was mentally prepared, his presence had almost turned into a ruin, and the Wei camp, which was covered with corpses, still made Wei Xiang gasp.

"Brother Xiang, here!"

Wei Xiangxun looked at it and found that it was Wei Jing, the second son of his third uncle Wei Ke, who was calling him, and asked quickly: "Is the sect leader back? Where are my father and third uncle?"

Wei Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Xiang, everyone is inside."

Only then did Wei Xiang breathe a long sigh and quickly walked into the tent.

The camp was filled with the strong smell of medicine. My father and Uncle San were lying on the same bed, their entire backs were exposed, and they kept humming. Two doctors were busy bandaging them, while the sect leader Wei Jiang stood aside.

"Father, Uncle Third!" Wei Xiang stepped forward and checked, and found that it was basically trauma and there was no fatal injury. Then he felt relieved.

When my father turned around and saw that it was Wei Xiang, the pain on his original face suddenly disappeared: "Xiang'er, you're finally back. Is it okay in the palace?"

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father, we won a great victory in the palace!"

Wei Xiang did this and told him what happened after Wei Jiang left.

The Wei father and brother trio were deeply moved when they heard this, and the third uncle said, "Zhao Meng is indeed worthy of being Zhao Meng. He took this opportunity to destroy the Xu family and severely defeat the Zhongxing family and Zhi family. Even if Zhao Meng dies in the future, the Zhao family will still be strong."

The father smiled and said, "Xiang'er, when your eldest father was Rongyou for Duke Wen, then the Central Army's father Lin was Duke Wen's driver. Unexpectedly, this old man didn't even think about the kindness of the same car, and he repeatedly attacked you. Now this is really satisfying!"

The sect leader Wei Jiang smiled and said, "It's a blessing for my brother's previous words that made me Wei stand in the right direction this time. Although I lost a lot of people, the situation in the future will be extremely bright."

Although Wei lost nearly 200 soldiers, the loss can actually be made up in minutes after holding Zhao's thigh. What's more, Wei's future may be trained by Zhao as the second Xu family, which means that Wei's family is likely to become one of the six major clans of Jin in the future!

In the face of such gains and prospects, Wei's losses are extremely worthwhile.

Third uncle Wei Ke smiled and said, "Yes. And now Xiang'er has become Zhao Shuo's young concubine's son. Zhao Shuo is about to become the leader of the Zhao clan, which is even more a good thing for our Wei clan."

For a moment, laughter filled the tent.

This was a day of extremely heavy losses for the Wei family, but it was also a day of Wei's rebirth and rise!

After a moment, the laughter gradually stopped, and the three fathers and brothers looked at each other for a few seconds, as if they had reached some tacit understanding.

The sect leader Wei Jiang said: "Two uncles, can you tell me?"

Uncle San nodded with a smile, and his father hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Wei Xiang looked at the trio with some confusion, feeling a little bad.
