Although the imperial edict has been issued, the Marshal's Mansion has not yet been officially listed. Ying Jieyan is unable to directly participate in the affairs of the mansion. He can only secretly peek through the gaps between the screens and shake his head while looking at the lively scene in the front hall.

He secretly scolded these 'brainless' people for letting a child fool them.

So he agreed easily. It was really as easy as crossing a river to conquer Guangzhou! However, he also secretly admired His Highness for his skill in managing people. He could tightly unite these stragglers from all sides and make them blind to him.

His faith is so strong that he obeys his advice.

"Today the master lost to the student, how can I teach him in the future!" Ying Jieyan looked at His Highness being "flattered" by everyone around him like stars holding the moon, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous in his heart, so he simply stopped watching.

, frowned and murmured. But when it comes to things, I still blame myself for being strict...

With Jiang Wanzai's promise, the master and the apprentice believed that things would come to an end soon, but they did not expect it to be so fast. They had been busy thanking each other for the past two days, saying goodbye and accepting personnel and supplies, which made him and His Highness both nervous.

Somewhat caught off guard. After seeing off the Queen Mother and Her Majesty,

, the two of them took a break to discuss the urgent matters that needed to be resolved at the moment. The big problem they faced first was the recruitment of personnel. As for increasing the number of troops, they both believed that the more the better under the current situation. The problem was that the government's financial resources were limited, and the second was the quality of the soldiers.

At first, Zhao Bing thought that the imperial court would not stay in Jiazi Town for too long. Even so, he still purchased a large amount of supplies based on the principle of being prepared. According to estimates, it would be enough for the government to need at least three months. Unexpectedly, he spent two

moon

, but thinking that there was still surplus, he felt at ease. At this time, there were more than 20,000 more people. Although the court allocated some food, the total was only enough for half a month. If salaries were added, Zhao

Bing was afraid that he would be bankrupt before he even left home.

All in all, if you tighten your belts and rummage through your pockets, you may be able to get through the current difficulties, but Zhao Bing feels that the money is a bit wasted. The soldiers allocated by the Ministry of War are all selected from various ministries.

in

There are the imperial army, the Xiang army, and the volunteers. He thought that as a prince, and with the Queen Mother's decree, each department had to be given some carefully selected soldiers and generals. Even if they had some secrets, it wouldn't be too bad. At least they could show it.

Hands on!

But the result was completely unexpected. The people sent here can be said to be carefully selected, but they were all selected. There was Youzi, a veteran who had been restless in the army for many years. He was defeated from various battlefields and defected to the imperial court before he could be reorganized.

Stragglers,

Bandits who were forced to accept recruitment due to the situation, a criminal army composed of criminals who were exiled to the army, newly recruited volunteers without training, and even a group of captives composed of Khitans, Jurchens, Mongols, Semu people and other ethnic groups

military.

Not counting this, there are also wounded soldiers with arms and crutches, civilian husbands who were forced to serve as porters and masons, childish-looking teenagers, civilian girls who were kidnapped and then abandoned, and the survivors of those who died in the war, etc.

They were all brought in to make up the numbers, but there were not many of them who could be used. Instead, the palace was used as a welfare home. So Zhao Bing regretted that he had asked his boss not to send some gifts to the people in the Ministry of War, but to send such a large group of people to himself!

After calling back and forth, it turned out that the only regular army that could be called combat effectiveness was a thousand men from the Dianqian Army. Not only were they equipped with armor and weapons, but officers at all levels were well-equipped, well-trained, and well-disciplined. This made Zhao Bing burst into tears with gratitude.

Thinking that although Jiang Wanzai had left a hand for himself,

But it is still fair and clear. You must know that the Dianqian Army has suffered serious losses after several battles. It has been replenished several times before it can reach a size of thirty to forty thousand people. Among them, there are not many officers and soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and have actual combat experience. Under such circumstances, it can

Giving yourself thousands of people is like giving timely help.

Nowadays, the 'product' has serious quality problems, but the 'manufacturer' has gone away, and it is impossible to apply for after-sales service. Zhao Bing can only admit that he is unlucky. Because of this, Ying Jiyan thought that the imperial court had withdrawn and it was convenient for him.

It has become the biggest target and may be attacked by a large group of enemies. The strength of the mansion itself is weak, coupled with the new "trolls", once they take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be in an extremely passive situation.

In addition, the money and food in the government were tight, so it was better to board the ship and leave Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Zhao Bing disagreed. He thought that after all, these newly transferred volunteers accounted for the majority and had a poor foundation. They had not been trained and were not paid, so they must be resentful. Under such circumstances, they would rush to send troops without any effort.

It's good, but the most fearful thing is that escaping in the middle of the battle will cause chaos and make everything uncontrollable. The government is too fragile and cannot withstand failure, so we should do everything we can to share the salary as soon as possible so that they can have enough to eat, so as to stabilize the situation first.

Keep people's hearts in mind, boost morale, and then use severe punishments and laws to deter them. After preliminary training, even if it is only for a few days, they can go to war.

Ying Jieyan agreed, thinking that His Highness was too cautious. He thought that these brave men who came to serve the king during the national crisis must be loyal and courageous people who could obey orders as long as they knew the righteousness and faced difficulties.

Lure them with money, let alone exhaust the last bit of savings in the mansion, in order to prepare for the war in Guangzhou, the last glimmer of hope will be lost in the mansion.

Regarding Ying Jieyan's statement, Zhao Bing cannot be wrong, but it is unrealistic. A qualified soldier should have a righteous mind and not care about personal gains and losses, but this must be developed after a long period of training and education, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

It can be changed. But the current situation is that we are barely able to eat, and our salaries cannot be paid in full, and are even in arrears. It is really very ill to expect them to follow you to the battlefield and work hard just by saying a few words of justice.

Lao Tzu also once said: A house full of gold and jade, no one can keep it. He also said: A gentleman's wealth will be cut off in five generations. This means that no good thing can last long. The more wealth you have, the more people will try to take advantage of you.

, using robbing, cheating, stealing, cheating, and other means to make people unable to guard against it. Therefore, when people say that wealth cannot last more than three generations, they are talking about the fact that wealth cannot last forever, and wealth may lead to the opposite of things.

It just wants to illustrate a truth: money, fame, and wealth, while bringing benefits, will also bring disasters. Therefore, a truly smart person can not only enjoy the benefits brought by these things, but also be able to offset their attendant consequences.

In this way, we can truly travel freely and advance and retreat freely.

This is the situation that Zhao Bing is facing at this moment. Everyone knows that the Holy Spirit rewarded a lot of property before he left. We don't know how much it is, but everyone knows that you have it, but you keep it in your own hands and don't share it with everyone.

It must be full of resentment. Once the situation gets worse, it is good for everyone to leave you. If you are unhappy, they will share it for you, or even kill you, so it is better to get the money from the government as soon as possible.

, everyone will be happy, and you will be less worried about someone plotting against you.

And Zhao Bing was also a part-time worker in his previous life. He believed that "you contribute money and I contribute effort" is a matter of course. The more you give, the more motivated everyone will be. If the red envelope is generous, you can tolerate it even if you are a little angry. But once the salary is owed,

There is no psychological burden in leaving and finding another family. I will never feel guilty because I am a moral person. After all, survival is the first priority. There is no need for me to accompany you to your death.

Of course, people with such moral character as him are not among them, but that is because he is too sentimental about the ship he built with his own hands. If the boss fulfills his promise back then, he will have nothing to say about the years he spent.

, and will regard him as a good leader who values ​​honesty and righteousness; of course he is also a good employee who values ​​​​love and righteousness, and is even regarded as a brother by his boss and set up as a role model.

Everyone has seen that if you want to take something from the other person, the best way is to give it first. If you keep giving, you will build a good relationship. When the relationship accumulates to a certain stage, it will undergo a qualitative change, and the other party will already regard you as his.

One's own people. Going one step further, when the other party has already equated himself with him, he will give him what he wants and what he doesn't want, he will still give him.

It can be seen that in fact, this method is not magical, but it is the method of "taking first, giving first" as Lao Tzu said. If you want to get, you must first give, first give, and first give. When the contributions have accumulated to a certain level, you will naturally

Got it. In short, if you want to get, you must first pay. This method has the highest success rate among all methods. People who have no worries about food, clothing, and money will naturally understand what loyalty is...

Zhao Bing made Ying Jieyan very angry with his fallacies, but for a moment he had no way to refute him. He shook his hand and dropped the tea cup and smashed it to pieces. Seeing Ying Jieyan's sad look, he realized that he was worried that he would go astray.

He was worried about the "degeneration" of the people. And he also knew that although his teacher was a clear-minded official, he could still be considerate of the people.

He belongs to the common people and dares to ask for orders for the people. However, Ying Jieyan was born in a well-off family after all and did not have to worry about food and drink. After that, he entered the official career for decades and the people he interacted with were all scholars and poets who spoke of benevolence, justice and morality.

After all, it is difficult to understand the life of the people at the bottom working hard for a meal and the difficulty of survival.

Just at this moment, Zhao Mengjin slipped in and asked Zhao Bing to pour a cup of hot tea for Duotou. With a move in his mind, Ying Jieyan agreed that if he could stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, he would follow his plan.

If it fails, we will follow Ying Jieyan's plan and leave Jiazi Town immediately to send troops to Guangzhou.

Everyone has seen the ending. He did not move people with affection, nor did he call people with justice. Instead, he told everyone simply and rudely: You are indispensable for me to be promoted. Anyone who has the ability can do it; if I don’t have money, I will take it.

Let everyone earn and rob. If you want to pay back in the future,

Live a good life, then listen to me and follow me! And Ying Jieyan has nothing to do with these unscrupulous guys, and even more worried about how to teach this uneasy student well so as to avoid harming the world in the future...
