Jiang Cheng can be said to be the nobleman who helped Shen Hao the most in his career. Ever since he was a flag officer in Licheng, he had been supported by Jiang Cheng from time to time.
Later, he served as the general banner, Baihu, Qianhu, and now the fourth rank commander, and Jiang Cheng's contribution is indispensable. Therefore, there is no problem that outsiders have always regarded Shen Hao as a member of Jiang Cheng's family.
From a personal relationship point of view, Shen Hao officially introduced Jiang Cheng as the teacher over drinks. This relationship is also the most resilient link between them. It was this relationship that allowed Jiang Cheng to still take care of Shen Hao's family after Shen Hao's disappearance. Otherwise, how could Yu Qiao and Chu Linxiang compete with several royal merchants alone?
If you give me friendship, I will give you friendship in return. . This is Shen Hao's simple three views. On the contrary, if someone makes him uncomfortable, he will definitely make the other person's life difficult.
Therefore, Shen Hao was not prepared to alienate his relationship with Jiang Cheng just because he had now entered the Xuanhai realm, and he still treated the other party as a disciple.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that Shen Hao's cultivation of the "third level of the Mysterious Sea Realm" was too easy. It was as if he had "slept for a while" and woke up. He lacked the hardship of normal cultivation and lacked the knowledge of the Mysterious Sea Realm. I am in awe, and I don’t feel that I need to change anything between my current Xuanhai realm and my previous Yuandan realm.
"Have you gone to Fenghong Villa and Pang Pang Ren?" Jiang Cheng motioned Shen Hao to sit down and reminded Shen Hao not to miss the key points.
"The students went to Fenghong Villa first in the morning, and then to Pangdaren Mansion."
"Well. Now that you have returned, you have changed the momentum of the Black Flag Camp. You are the most popular in the entire Jing Dynasty. I heard that the officials in the temple who have been looking for trouble all day have stopped and are waiting to see you. Is it possible to turn the tide?
However, you kid has tightly controlled the means in the hands of the Black Flag Camp and refused to share the profit with the Xuanqing Guards in various places. This has caused a lot of complaints within the Xuanqing Guards.
Tell me, what do you think? "
As the governor of Xuanqingwei Town in Jingxi, Jiang Cheng is naturally the most aware of the changes in Jingxi. As early as a few days after Shen Hao's sudden return, the boundaries of Jingxi began to change. The black flag camp was closed and released, which seemed unnecessary, but in fact, it was like throwing away the biggest burden, which was equivalent to starting everything over. Moreover, hundreds of experienced monks were added to the battle formation, and they quickly stabilized the surrounding areas of the big city. All lines of defense of the Black Flag Battalion.
News soon broke out that the Black Flag Battalion could hire people from small sects to increase its strength, and it was not limited to Jingxi. Black Flag Battalions from all over the country also followed suit.
Now the Black Flag Camp has become the only ray of light in the internal dilemma of the Jingji Dynasty from bottom to top. It was even obvious that while holding on to the defensive line, it began to slowly expand its scope, beginning to squeeze the wreaking scope of those unpredictable and hard-to-find evil monks.
However, these measures that can be regarded as outstanding achievements are not as praised as expected within Xuanqing Guard. The reason is that the Black Flag Camp is very tight on the way to hire monks from the small sects and does not let them go at all. The Qianhu Office in Xuanqing Guard, except for the Black Flag Camp, cannot get any benefit at all.
This is because Shen Hao's reputation is too loud and vicious. No one has dared to jump out and question him yet. If anyone else dared to do this, he would have been called upon to make trouble.
In Jiang Cheng's opinion, Shen Hao is actually a very smooth person. He has always been the kind of person who makes money together. In all the years he has known him, he has never seen Shen Hao "eating alone". This time, Xuan Qingwei was determined to hire the disciples of the sect without any regard for profit. I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as selfishness.
So when Shen Hao came over and before he got down to business, Jiang Cheng asked out his curiosity. It's not that he is greedy for the credit. He has reached the top of his official career and can't climb any higher. He just doesn't want Shen Hao to ruin his reputation within Xuanqing Guard because of these things. He hoped that Shen Hao would make great progress all the way. Once he gets old in the future, his team would still have something to rely on and would not lose power.
Shen Hao is here, so naturally he won't hide anything from Jiang Cheng on these matters. Moreover, this matter itself is quite special, and it is not that the Black Flag Battalion is deliberately manipulating the employment system and not sharing the benefits with Xuanqing Guard as outsiders think.
"Teacher, there are actually many internal reasons for the employment of small sects at the bottom. Although it seems to be an employment behavior between Black Flag Camp and some sects, it is actually between Fenghong Villa and the entire sect. A cooperation within the circle, but this time the cooperation is run by students as intermediaries..."
Shen Hao roughly told Jiang Cheng the strategy he had reached with Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect. There is nothing to hide. There is no news about this outside now. It is just because Fenghong Villa's attitude was deliberately pulled by Shen Hao, and Yang Xiusheng chose to acquiesce. It was not that Fenghong Villa had this intention from the beginning.
There is nothing wrong with saying that this is Shen Hao playing with fire, but his starting point is to solve the current predicament of the Jing Dynasty, which made the emperor and Fenghong Villa pinch their noses and choose to acquiesce.
In this way, it is impossible to publicize the matter to everyone.
Who is Jiang Cheng? After listening to Shen Hao's story, I immediately understood the twists and turns. He pointed at Shen Hao with a smile and said, "You are really brave! You dare to pull King Yongsheng over and use it as your banner. Are you sure that he will help you?"
"Students taking risks are also beneficial to the country. King Yongsheng must also know this in his heart. Although he cannot threaten to support the students, it is a tacit understanding to lend his name to the students. In addition, the students have the characteristics of the foreign affairs deacon of Fenghong Villa. Errands, this matter is reasonable to mention to Fenghong Villa, it is not simply a matter between the sect and Xuanqing Guard.
It is precisely because of this that the students have no way to share this path with the Xuanqing Guards from all over the country, because they are not suitable to participate. If this rare tacit understanding is destroyed, it will really be more than the gain is worth the loss. "
The implication is actually talking about "identity". Shen Hao has the identity of the Great Deacon of Foreign Affairs of Fenghong Villa and is also the commander of the Black Flag Battalion. With the tacit approval of Yang Xiusheng, the owner of Fenghong Villa, and the cooperation of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, he can sign contracts with many small sects. Employment agreements fill staffing vacancies. If it were anyone else, there would be no way to reassure the parties behind it, and naturally there would be no possibility of expanding the scope of application. If you push it too hard, it may have the opposite effect.
Jiang Cheng nodded when he heard the words, which seemed to agree with Shen Hao's words, but he still added: "You'd better find a way to explain this matter to the other parties, otherwise your face will not look good when they come to the door. .”
Unexpectedly, Shen Hao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Teacher, the student may be entering the fourth rank soon, so this matter probably won't be so troublesome."
Jiang Cheng's hand holding the tea cup shook, and he raised his head and looked at Shen Hao in surprise: "Huh?!"
