Sword Sect Side Gate

Su Licai promised to evaluate Ji Zheng's abilities, but he didn't expect to see the Hongshan Gatekeeper hovering at the gate of his courtyard that night.

"General Wang won't go to rest, is there something important to come to me?" Su Li greeted calmly.

Wang Jian hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I have seen the national teacher, the last general...the last general is just..."

He didn't seem to figure out how to use his words... Indeed, Su Li's sudden appearance caught him by surprise.

Su Li did not answer the conversation either, but waited patiently for Wang Jian, wanting to see what he could say.

Unexpectedly, under his expectation, this Wang Jian hesitated and suddenly took out a brocade box from behind, and then respectfully handed it to Su Li, "I will come here, just want to ask the national teacher to be able to A few words in front of the king, the last general...the last general..."

Su Li blinked, but she didn't expect that she would encounter such a grounded thing.

He curiously reached out and took the brocade box and asked, "What is this?"

Wang Jian's eyebrows jumped abruptly, and he felt that the reaction of the Master of National Normal University was different from what he had imagined.

But he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the brocade box and said: "At the end of the day, he knows that the national teacher is Fang Waiqi and people who don't like vulgar objects, so he presented a strange stone that he accidentally obtained at Hongshan Pass as a gift."

Su Li looked at it, but saw that inside the brocade box was a palm-sized dark red stone. The surface of this stone is smooth and elliptical, but it is actually not an extraordinary product.

Just lying there quietly, it can attract the vitality of heaven and earth to contract regularly, as if breathing.

So it also has a very appropriate name, called "Lung Stone".

The value of this kind of strange stone is not mentioned. Carrying it is equivalent to bringing a spirit gathering array.

It can be seen that this Wang Jianxiu base has just reached the innate, but the vision and luck are good...but such a treasure will be very precious to an innate cultivator who has officially started to contact the vitality of the world, right?

"Many monks also use lung stones as the main material of their life magic weapons." Haitang muttered while hiding in Su Li's hair.

"It's a good thing, I'll accept this gift." Su Li's gift is called Xinanlide.

Wang Jian's face showed a look of disappointment, but when Su Li confirmed that he would accept it, he immediately became happy again... It can be seen that in his heart, it is better to give this strange stone to the power of the dynasty. .

"Excuse me, my majesty will check the armaments of the Hongshan Pass tomorrow. I wonder if it is a good word for the final general?" Wang Jian saw that Su Li had received something, and he was relieved to say what he asked for.

Su Li sounded a little strange, and then asked, "You have a problem in Hongshan Pass?"

Wang Jian froze for a while, a little bit he didn't want to say it clearly.

Su Li said angrily when he saw this: "I have accepted your stuff, what else can I do to you?"

Wang Jianyi thought it was right, so he said with no confidence: "Because the Hongshan Pass is clear and bitter, but the original one that should have been rotated three years ago did not come, so many people can't stand it and leave... Now this Hongshan Pass is only There are 22,000 people left...I am afraid that there are deserters here and I will be blamed by the top, so I dare not report it."

Su Li knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and this fellow with feelings is still a waste of money!

He was speechless for a moment, and then said to him: "You really want to be decapitated in this matter, but it is not you who is wrong to find the root cause...Let's just list the current situation at Hongshan Pass. Come out... You can't hide it right now, you can only do it by committing a crime."

Seeing Wang Jian's anxious expression and seemingly unwilling to'blow up', Su Li was relieved again: "What do you know? Now this Western Region battlefield almost determines the direction of my great Qin national destiny. What matters to you now is not the mistakes you made before, but the mistakes you made before. Can we participate in this war after this!"

"As long as you can perform well in this battle, this is a matter of directly showing your face in front of the emperor. Are you afraid that you won't be able to equalize your merits and demerits or even make the priests get rich?"

Wang Jian was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt that his vision was really far from that of the national teacher.

Seeing him showing a dazed expression, Su Li didn't say more, letting him go back and prepare for it.

At this time Beiguang appeared quietly behind him. He watched Wang Jian go away and asked in a puzzled tone: "Master, don't we need the gift he gave? Why are you..."

Su Li shook his head to stop him from questioning, but only said: "Thousands of people have a thousand faces, and one can't always get along with those with similar temperaments. You just need to watch and listen. This is the way of being a king, but you can't do it by personal preference. OK."

With that said, he simply processed the lung stone refinement as a pendant and placed it in Beiguang's hand, saying, "It's better than nothing."

Beiguang seemed to understand, but he remembered Su Li's words...Next, he should read and listen more with a learning mentality. He was also very curious about how Ji Zheng would deal with this person...

...

Early the next morning, Wang Jian, who seemed to have not slept all night, came to Ji Zheng with many books.

He didn't wear armor, but a coarse cloth, bowed his back and lowered his head, waiting for Ji Zheng to look through the results of these books.

Ji Zheng has been looking through it for a long time...It’s not that he was looking for Wang Jian’s fault, but that he found that the entries in these ledgers list all the conditions clearly. What is there and what is missing in this Hongshan Pass, really It's clear at a glance.

But in the same way, he also saw many problems...

There are actually only 22,000 soldiers in the Hongshan Pass!

But the annual military payment allocated here is a full 30,000 people...

But there is another problem... the annual expenditure and income of Hongshan Pass are not balanced.

Income naturally refers to the materials and military expenses allocated by the court, while expenditure refers to the actual disbursements and daily expenses...

This expenditure part turned out to exceed the income part every year.

Ji Zheng remembered that Su Li only ‘taught’ him yesterday, so he wanted to be happy and angry.

Otherwise, when he saw such a large vacancy in the army, he would have been furious... But now, after he patiently watched it, he discovered a problem.

This Hongshan Pass is definitely the most difficult frontier pass in the Western Qin Dynasty. It was originally rotated every three years, but when it was supposed to be rotated three years ago, it was overlooked for various reasons...So this is already the Hongshan Pass. Pawn has been stationed here for the sixth consecutive year!

As for what the ‘various reasons’ are, Ji Zheng knows well... The sons of King Qin Ba in Anyang City were vying to be the king at that time, so naturally they didn’t care about it.

And the anger at the beginning of Wang Jian’s eating of empty salaries gradually subsided, because he discovered that it was really not Wang Jianfei’s eating empty salaries, but that part of the vacated army salary was also given to his subordinates as a benefit... even he I have posted a lot!

Otherwise, there might not even be 22,000 people in this Hongshan Pass.

"Stupid!" Ji Zheng couldn't help but reprimanded.

"Puff!"

Wang Jian knelt directly...this time should be considered wartime, he came to see Ji Zheng without wearing armor, as expected, it was to be easier and more convenient when he was kneeling.

Ji Zheng almost burst into laughter.

But he still sternly said: "The imperial court rotation is wrong. This is the fault of those imperial court officials. You dare to conceal the deserter's situation year after year. Can your head be able to withstand the incident in Hongshan Pass?"

"Xiaguan made a mistake." Wang Jian immediately admitted his mistake, obediently and smoothly.

Ji Zheng still wanted to rebuke, but considering that the situation is urgent enough now, he can only say: "You should have been removed from your position and reflect on it, but now when you use people, let you take the blame and make merit."

When these words came out, Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and at the same time really admired the wisdom of the national teacher... He knew that even if this battle was lost, as long as he could protect King Qin and return to Anyang, his career would be good. It's already a smooth journey.

"Okay, I'm going to review this military appearance in the pass this afternoon, and you can prepare yourself." Ji Zheng drove away again.

Wang Jian knew that he had passed the test, and quickly walked out of the room with his head bowed and his back down...

Seeing that Wang Jian left, Ji Zheng just pondered for a while, and then asked Su Li: "Mr. Su, do you think Wang Jian is..."

He paused and thought about it, then continued: "How can he compare with Meng Zhi?"

When this question was asked, Wang Jian actually belonged to a talented person in Ji Zheng's mind. It's just that this person's temperament is really unpredictable, so he will ask Su Li again.

Beiguang listened to the scene and wanted to suggest that this person could not be of great use, but thinking of what Su Li said last night, he quickly remained silent to hear how his master judged it.

Who knows that Su Li said without hesitation: "If it were General Meng, the current General Zhenbei would have ended. At most, let him sit in a different place and stay calm. Wherever he is, he can protect one side."

"As for General Wang, how old he is to make him an official ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This person only needs to beat him from time to time, it will be very smooth to use."

"Huh!" Beiguang couldn't help but exclaimed. This response was obviously completely different from what he thought.

But after a moment, Ji Zheng said clearly: "Indeed, Wang Jian can be said to be a real villain. He has too many handles, and he can easily control it... or this is what he does. Do it."

"But General Meng...General Meng is loyal, and he believes that if a man is dead, he will not frown even if he goes through fire and water... Indeed, as Mr. Su said, he can rest assured wherever he is, he is the most solid part of the widow. shield."

"For such a loyal general, why can't the widow be rewarded?"

Su Li sighed after hearing it, "It is because General Meng is loyal but arrogant, so the relationship between him and his colleagues will not be very good."

"Allowing him to lead an army and guard the outside world is all peaceful, but if he is allowed to enter the court as an official and work with those high-ranking nobles, I am afraid that people will be hated..."

"So I suggest that in order to protect General Meng, the position of General Zhenbei should be the upper limit. If your Majesty wants to compensate, you can add more illusory honors or rewards, and you can reward his family for the general's contributions. ."

Ji Zheng suddenly... he fisted and bowed to Su Li, "Thank you, Mr., for your guidance, the widow almost did something wrong again."

Beiguang also seemed to have learned something in a daze, but it was a little vague. He only knew that his master’s advice to the two generals made sense...

Wang Jianyou was talented, ambitious and smart enough, so he let him compete for a lifetime glory by virtue of his talents.

However, Meng Zhizhongyi is upright and does not know how to work, so he will keep him safe and wealthy for generations...
