Great Tang Southern Emperor

Feng Zhibao said sincerely: "Your Highness has misunderstood. Cao Min really wanted to give all the property to His Highness sincerely, but His Highness is not wrong. Cao Min really wanted to get something from His Highness."

"Don't know what it is?"

"That is the fate of the Caomin." Feng Zhibao said with a wry smile: "Your Highness does not know that although the Caomin is now known as one of the seven major forces in the south of the Five Ridges and has the same limelight, these are actually just superficial glory. The Caomin are certainly rich, But in this chaotic Lingnan, if you have money alone, you will not be safe, and you will be regarded as a fat sheep. Now in the entire Lingnan, except for the barbarians, the other five major forces regard the officials as a piece of fat. We haven't discussed how to divide the cake yet, and the grass people may have been devoured long ago, not even bones left."

"Can't you? Since you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?" Li Zhen said strangely: "If you set up a recruiting flag, you will have your own food. Are you afraid you won't be able to recruit soldiers?"

"The Caomin are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, how could that be?" Feng Zhibao said halfway, but under Li Zhen's gaze, he couldn't continue, and smiled: "Your Highness is right, the Caomin did think about recruiting troops, but after careful consideration, After thinking about it, I realized that doing so would only make you die faster."

"How to say?"

"Caomin can become one of the seven powers just by relying on money. If we recruit more troops, wouldn't we want to unify Lingnan?" Feng Zhibao said helplessly: "How can the rest of the people allow such a thing to happen? The flagpole, the first ones to welcome are probably not the people who joined the army, but the coalition forces of other forces."

Chapter 279 You treat me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity

Chapter 55 Treat me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity

"Papapa~" Li Zhen applauded and praised: "As expected of Lingnan Tao Zhu, he really has a thorough understanding of the current situation."

Feng Zhibao said slowly: "So what if I can see clearly? If I hadn't been reconciled to the foundation in my hand at the expense of others, I would have escaped a long time ago. It would be more comfortable than being surprised three times a day."

"But why are you willing to give it to me now?" Li Zhen looked at Feng Zhibao with burning eyes: "Could it be my identity? I don't think my identity can play a big role."

Feng Zhibao said: "Actually, I've had enough of this kind of life. Even if Your Highness doesn't come to Lingnan, I'm ready to find someone better to take refuge in. His Highness is known as the God of Wealth, and he is an idol in the eyes of businessmen all over the world. He is a business expert himself. Entrusting the property to His Highness is better than giving it to those reckless people who only spend money and don't know how to make money. At least in His Highness's hands, my property will not lose. The third is for our lives Thinking about it, after all, I was the former opponent of those people, and I also rejected the invitation of the forces behind them, and I have already offended them to death. Now that I am in an embarrassing situation, if I join in at this time, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner, but it will be easier to survive, and maybe I can be a small official."

"Very good reasoning." Li Zhen praised: "Don't worry, you treat me with sincerity, and I will treat you with sincerity. I, Li Zhen, have never been a person who kills donkeys. Just like you said, My position in Lingnan is embarrassing, as you can see, I have been in Lingnan for more than a day, but until now, not to mention officials from subordinate counties and counties, even officials from the prefectural city of Yuezhou have not come to see me. You are now visiting I, not only relieved my embarrassment, but also gave some vacillating people a head, if I kill you, what will those people think?"

Feng Zhiyong beside him couldn't help but said, "This is all Feng Gai's fault."

"Zhiyong!" Feng Zhiwen scolded.

Li Zhen stopped and said, "It's okay, let him continue talking."

Feng Zhiyong glanced at Li Zhen gratefully, and continued: "Your Highness does not know something. Feng Gai is very arrogant and has completely regarded Yuezhou as his territory. His Highness's arrival made him feel a sense of crisis, so he is going to give His Highness As soon as you get off your horse, Feng Gai obstructs in every possible way even the previous official who chose the palace for you, just to embarrass His Highness."

Li Zhen snorted coldly and said: "No wonder that guy Wen Xueling is hesitating, so there is still such a thing in it. Hmph, let's talk about his power? Let's talk about his power after he survives tomorrow."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Feng Zhibao, and said seriously: "Feng Zhibao, I just came to Yuezhou, and you offered me a generous gift, and I will not treat you badly. I don't know what reward you want."

"This..." The Feng brothers suddenly showed joy. It seems that not only do they not have to die, but they can also be an official. He can't be an official, so he has set a precedent.

But Feng Zhibao is also a guy with high EQ, Li Zhen asked him to mention it himself, but how could he be so ignorant, so he bowed and said: "But according to His Highness's order, Feng Zhibao will never complain."

"Well, I was supposed to give you an ordinary official position, but it would be a waste of your business talent to give you an ordinary official position. I am planning to set up the Yuezhou Shipbuilding Department in Yuezhou to be in charge of taxation and merchandise for foreign trade. The responsibility for verifying and issuing the official certificate (document to go to sea) is absolutely heavy, and there is absolutely no room for error.

Among them, the chief officer of the Shibo Department is the Shiboshi, and there is already someone in this position, that is Fang Yiai, you should have heard his name.However, it would be too embarrassing for him to be in charge of the entire Shibo Department as a general, and your arrival just helped me solve the trouble.How about this, I will guarantee you a superintendent of the Shiboshi (fabricated, I really don’t know what the name of the Shiboshi’s deputy is), ranking from the sixth rank, as the Shiboshi’s deputy, the status is second only to the Shiboshi, I don’t know What do you think? "

Giving Feng Zhibao this position can be regarded as Li Zhen's good intentions. First of all, Feng Zhibao is a businessman, and he is a very capable businessman. Giving him another position would be a waste of his business talent; He was absorbed into his own chamber of commerce, but Feng Zhibao gave Li Zhen endless money, so it was unreasonable not to give him an official position, and this official position should not be too low, and must have some real power.

In the end, Li Zhen also thought about it for a long time before thinking of the Shibo Department. The Shibo Department mainly deals with businessmen, and Feng Zhibao's ability can completely control it. If it is not for his lack of qualifications, the position of Shibo Envoy will be handed over to him now. No problem.

"Thank you Your Highness, the grassroots have no objections." Feng Zhibao was overjoyed, not to mention how big the official at the sixth rank was, but just from Li Zhen's narration, he knew that the Shibo Department was definitely an important position, and such an important position was entrusted to him , it can be seen how much Li Zhen values ​​herself.

What's more, the head of the Shibo Department is Fang Yiai. Feng Zhibao also knows this person. He is a famous young general in the Tang Dynasty.It is obviously unreasonable and wasteful for such a strong general to be placed in such a civil position as a city ship envoy. In other words, Fang Yiai will leave sooner or later, and this time will not be too long, and once Fang Yiai leaves Go, as the deputy at that time, I will definitely be the best candidate to inherit the position of the Shibo envoy—provided that I perform well and be loyal to the King of Yue.

"It's fine if you don't have an opinion. Fang Yiai is currently expanding the Yuezhou Port. I'll write you an appointment letter later, so you can go meet your partner."

"Yes."

"As for the three of you." Li Zhen looked at the other three, they are all brothers with Feng Zhibao, and it's not enough to only reward Feng Zhibao, you can't favor one another: "What abilities do you all have, or what kind of officials do you want to go to? "

"" The three brothers glanced at each other, and finally Feng Zhiyong was the first to step out, pleadingly said: "Your Highness, Zhiyong has no skills, only brute force, Zhiyong hopes to join the army."

"That's it, then I will appoint you as the captain of the Yue Wang Zhang Neifu team (don't underestimate the captain, this is an official of the seventh rank, leading 50 people, which is equivalent to a reinforced platoon, which is not small), but I belong to The soldiers in the army are all elites in all battles, brave men, I will give you the officer, but whether you can convince them or not depends on your ability." Now that he has already thrown out a sixth-rank real power, Li Zhen will naturally not be stingy anymore A seventh rank official.

"I will definitely tame them. If not, Zhiyong would rather be a soldier." Feng Zhiyong issued a military order.

"I hope you can do it." After Li Zhen finished speaking, she turned her eyes to Feng Zhiwen and Feng Zhilin.

"Grassmen are good at planning."

"Caomin is good at managing accounts."

Now without Li Zhen asking, the two took the initiative to tell what they were good at.

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "Feng Zhiwen, you can be the counselor of the Governor's Mansion of Yuezhou (under the seventh-rank treatment), as for Feng Zhilin, you can join the army as the Sicang of the Yuezhou Prefecture (Cangcao is the seventh-rank), but you can't take office yet. , I will talk about it after I solve Feng Gai. Do you have any opinions?"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I have no objections."

"That's how it is. This is your appointment document. Go and take up the post." Li Zhen signed the appointment document and stamped it with a big seal. It can be said that when the Lingnan military and government seize it, he can directly appoint and dismiss some small officials below the fifth rank, as long as he reports to the court afterwards.

"My minister retire."

Chapter 56 Lectures

"It's okay again, it's so boring, why does time pass so slowly?" After seeing off the Feng brothers, Li Zhen continued to lie on the table and pretended to be dead. There are so few entertainment activities these days. I'm bored and want to commit suicide

Li Zhen was bored there, but Xue Rengui was busy like a dog.

"What about the intelligence? How exactly does the Blood Dragon Guard work? Why is the efficiency so poor?"

"There are not enough crossbows? How do you become a quartermaster? You are limited to replenish it within an hour, or I will take your head."

"Who told you to prepare a war horse? There are so many mountains and forests in Lingnan, are you riding a horse to be a target?"

"What's with this pile? Take all the useless ones away and put them here to have a baby?"

"Why do we need so much water and dry food? Our goal this time is only around Yuezhou. Do you think it's an expedition?"

""

Xue Rengui was really going crazy, he didn't even care about his demeanor, and yelled and cursed in the barracks.The military order he gave to Li Zhen was to kill Feng Gai within two days, but now seeing that the first day has passed more than half a day, = even the preparations are not ready yet, if the task cannot be completed in time, let alone the task is overdue What punishment will I receive, and what face will I have in the military camp in the future?

"You are all the guards of the King of Yue, the best soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. Is this how you used to fight in wars?"

Seeing this, Xu Zhen, the deputy commander of this operation, Zuo Dianjun of Yue Wang Zhang Neifu, whispered, "General, don't blame them, actually."

"Don't blame them and whom?" Xue Rengui glared at him, and interrupted: "I know, this time there is also the participation of the Youth Army. They are not happy, but they can't be so slack, right?"

"No." Xu Zhen said: "This subordinate has been with His Highness for several years, and probably knows the origin of the remaining 2000 people. Don't forget, many of His Highness's guards were eliminated of"

"This is the reason for the co-authorship. Haha, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have picked these people." If Xue Rengui still doesn't understand what he said, he would really be an idiot.

In order to increase his combat effectiveness, Xue Rengui picked away the most effective members of the Li Zhen Guards, and most of the most effective members of the Guards were those who had been eliminated from the Youth Army. This time, Xue Rengui picked them all up.It's just that he forgot that there were not only the Yue King's guards, but also two thousand youth troops in this operation. That is to say, this time, the defective guards and the genuine youth troops were going to fight together with the authentic youth troops as a means of being eliminated. It is strange that they have a good attitude in the face of the authentic youth army.

Xu Zhen said worriedly: "So general, you have to help solve this matter, otherwise the combination of the two sides will not only fail to form a combat effectiveness, but may even hinder each other, which will actually lower the combat effectiveness of the army."
