A Genius in a Second Remember to Go? We provide you with exciting novels to read.
The Liu's had to take the initiative to fire Mr. Wei Yuan, even if he had the intention to resign. Doing so would attract hatred.
The best way was for Mr. Wei Yuan to resign and write a letter of recommendation for her. It didn't matter where he recommended her. She would go to Langye in the end. The key was for Mr. Wei Yuan to resign!
That way, both the Liu's and Mr. Wei Yuan would have a way out.
Jiang Pengji did not think too much before she arrived, but after carefully observing Wei Yuan's expression and speculating on his psychological changes, she felt a little more confident. The man was more understanding than she had imagined, or rather, he was a truly benevolent teacher who was willing to consider his student's future.
In this era, a teacher for a day was a father for life.
Many teachers knew that they weren't suitable for teaching, but they would persist for the sake of their pride. That would only lead the students astray.
Even though Wei Yuan had his faults, he was a righteous man. He wouldn't make things difficult for his students.
"Langye … Tsk, I hope it won't disappoint me."
She opened her sandalwood fan and leaned against the table. She closed her eyes and looked relaxed, but her mind was working on something.
The war situation in this era was completely different from her era. There were too many differences.
If they really wanted to do something big and fight for the world, they would have to compete for food, manpower, and territory.
Grain was needless to say. They could always find a way to get their hands on it. Feeding off the enemy was one of the ways.
"Territory" was easy. It was only a matter of time before Dongqing became chaotic.
In the next few years, it wouldn't be too difficult to find a place. She had already picked a place.
The second problem was — manpower!
She could make do with other things, but "manpower" couldn't be easily dealt with.
"Manpower" didn't just refer to military strength.
Simple troops could be solved with rice and money. Soldiers could be built, horses could be bought, and with a little training, it would be more or less presentable.
But it wasn't so easy to get high-level civil and military talents.
In this era, the literacy rate was too low. There were very few literate people. Talented people were even rarer.
Truly talented people mostly had their own ambitions and goals. If they couldn't be completely convinced, they couldn't be used.
Jiang Pengji wasn't worried about not being able to convince them. She was worried about not being able to find such talents.
We'll talk about it after we get the talent. The other problems can be postponed.
In her words — — Once you enter her door, you are her person! It was the same whether he was alive or dead!
Her subordinates were only those who had retired, those who were still in office, and those who had died in battle. Whoever wanted to get off halfway would be slapped to death!
Yes, she was just that domineering and unreasonable, and she hated betrayal the most. In his previous life, no one had dared to reason with this Seventh Division Commander.
Other than the civil officials, there were also the military generals. After all, they couldn't rely on a group of scholars to fight for the throne, right?
The requirements for a general and an ordinary soldier were different. The latter only needed to be bathed in blood and fight, understand how to cooperate with the army, be unafraid of death, and fight the enemy to death. However, a general was different. There were many ways to lead an army to war, and it was not enough to just have a bit of strength.
Jiang Pengji could not use the requirements of her previous life to choose people, but the core was the same.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he had a lot of things to do.
Moreover, when she thought about it in detail, she found that military leaders had even fewer choices than scholars. Melancholy.
Well, a streamer who did not aim for the Emperor was not a good general — there was nothing wrong with that.
Jiang Pengji maintained the sly smile of the audience. She did not wait for the groom to bring the stool and jumped down.
"Is Xu Ke back?"
Jiang Pengji asked abruptly when she saw the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was confused. He had no idea how his Langjun knew.
He bowed subconsciously and answered, "Yes, Xu Ke has been waiting for a while."
"He must have encountered some problems." Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Behave well, and don't let outsiders out."
The gatekeeper was confused again. Since it was an outsider, he must have been careful not to let outsiders into the house, not to let outsiders out.
However, the servants of the Liu's were the best at reading other people's minds, and the gatekeeper was no exception.
He thought about Jiang Pengji's words from top to bottom. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and understood.
The "outsiders" in the Liu's were the "lady's maiden daughter and her servant" who had entered the house the day before.
The gatekeeper said that Xu Ke had been waiting for her for a long time, but Jiang Pengji saw that he was reading with great interest in the study. He did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, he looked like he did not care about what was going on outside.
"Is there something wrong with the farm?"
Jiang Pengji did not greet him. She went straight into the study and sat down in front of the desk.
Xu Ke was so engrossed in reading that he was almost scared by her.
Even though he was scared, Xu Ke did not do anything out of line, let alone throw the book in his hand.
He put the book back in its original place reluctantly, tidied his clothes, and made sure that he was dressed properly before sitting down again.
Xu Ke shook his head and took out a self-made booklet from his sleeve. It was filled with tiny words.
Bamboo paper was limited, and he was a thrifty person. It would be easy to waste the words if they were too big.
Jiang Pengji took it and looked at it. The rules and regulations clearly listed all kinds of data. The content was clear and organized. Even if the words were small, it did not look messy. She was slightly satisfied. Xu Ke was indeed talented in internal affairs, and he was a good housekeeper … But, he still lacked a partner.
She thought of the County Military Chief who was hiding somewhere in Hejian County, and her heart began to race.
Xu Ke asked in a low voice, "Langjun, do you see anything?"
Jiang Pengji laughed and threw the booklet back to Xu Ke. She said angrily, "How can you tell me that the farm was robbed?"
Yes, the data in the booklet was very clear. Xu Ke did not falsify it, so the problem was very clear.
According to the agreement, Xu Ke would receive money from the Liu's every month to buy daily necessities and grains for the troops. Xu Ke was in charge of how to use the money and how to make the best use of it. The prices of the items were all reasonable.
Then came the problem. She took a look at all the things Xu Ke bought and the changes in the items. She found something strange.
Rice, cloth, and the old hen that Xu Ke had specially bought for the troops to occasionally eat meat were gone.
Of course, they could not be used now. First, the time was not right, and second, the number was not right.
The timing wasn't right, because Jiang Pengji had already prepared a few sets of clothes for each of the servants for the season when she had just bought them. There was no need to re-tailor the clothes. Even if they were to be used as supplementary materials for training, the amount was not right.
"You didn't catch anyone?"
Jiang Pengji did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had thought of many possibilities, but she did not expect it to be because of the theft of the farm.
Xu Ke looked down and said seriously, "Langjun is wise."
"Wise my foot!"
