Xiao He walked into the official office and met Gu Cheng and Fan Zeng.
"My subordinate, Xiao He, has met the county magistrate!" The doubt in his eyes flashed away, and Xiao He saluted Gu Cheng and said.
"Xiao He, this is Mr. Fan Zeng!" Gu Cheng saw Xiao He arriving, explained to Xiao He, and then said to Fan Zeng: "Sir, this is Xiao He!"
"Xiao He has met sir!"
Hearing this, Xiao He hurriedly bowed to Fan Zeng. He was not a scholar who was ignorant of what was happening outside the window, so he naturally knew who Fan Zeng was.
He just didn't understand why Fan Zeng would find him, a stranger.
"No need to be polite!" Fan Zeng smiled and said to Xiao He, "Is the chief official a local in Peixian County?"
"To be honest, sir, he is indeed a local!" Xiao He did not hide anything. He believed that this person must know his situation well.
"Xiao He, clean up, the young master wants to see you!" Fan Zeng took a deep look at Xiao He. He did not hide anything, but went straight to the point.
"Master?"
Xiao He frowned slightly. He really didn't understand why the master, who was as high as the rising sun in the sky, suddenly found him.
"My subordinates are not very talented and have little knowledge. I'm afraid..."
Fan Zeng took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao He, and said: "Since you and I are both from Xinqin, I will remind you!"
"In Great Qin, no one can refuse the young master except the king!"
"That's not right. There once was a man from South Korea named Zhang Liang. If you have time, you can go and find out about it!"
Xiao He is also a scholar, and he is naturally very concerned about the general trend of the world. He naturally knows that Zhang Liang is dead.
Died in the hands of Gongzi Shu.
Faced with such a naked threat, Xiao He smiled helplessly. He knew in his heart that he had no other choice at all.
"Sir, please give me one day to say goodbye to my family!" After a long time, Xiao He said to Fan Zeng.
Hearing this, Fan Zeng smiled and said, "This is natural!"
Watching Xiao He leave, Fan Zeng's eyes flickered. He knew in his heart that since Zhao Shu could like Xiao He, it meant that Xiao He was a smart man. He believed that Xiao He knew better than anyone else that all the kings in the world were not the same. Leading the shore of the land is not the principle of kings and ministers.
This scene all fell in Gu Cheng's eyes, but he didn't say a word about this matter.
Fan Zeng was right. In Da Qin, except for the king in Zhangtai Palace, no one could refuse the Gongzi technique at this time.

"Sir, the news has been found out clearly. Chen Ping is thirty this year!" Yan Mo walked into the shogunate and said to Zhao Shu.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Bring the person back!"
"At the same time, check Kuai Che, a native of Fan Yang."
"If you are an adult, bring the person here too!"
"There is no limit to the means, but try to be gentler!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Yan Mo changed the subject and said, "Sir, there is news that Xiao He has been found and is on his way back."
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Zhao Shu was not surprised. He knew in his heart that today was different from the past. When he invited Fan Zeng, he was just rising to prominence and had not yet become as famous as he is today.
In this era, reputation is the best credibility.
Moreover, the more concerns a person has, the easier it is to compromise.
"Sir, the official offices have been built and the state guards have moved in. All major official offices are being established."
"However, Zhou Cheng has not yet..."
Li Xu came in a hurry and said respectfully to Zhao Shu.
Glancing at Li Xu, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "If you were asked to serve as the Prime Minister of this state, would you be confident?"
Hearing this, Li Xu looked bitter and shook his head quickly: "Master, my subordinates are not capable enough..."
"Go out!"
After scolding, Zhao Shu did not press for it: "Tell Zhang Cang that Zhou Cheng has been found and he will arrive soon."
"For the time being, work harder on him!"
At this point, Zhao Shu changed his subject and said: "This time when you go south, you don't have to stay in the shogunate, serve as a military commander, and lead a large army to fight."
"You have been down south for so long, and Beichen has been released. It's time for you to make contributions."
"promise."
At this moment, Li Xu did not refuse. He knew in his heart that this was the opportunity given to him by Zhao Shu.
He doesn't want to give up!
"Go, follow Li Xin and learn how to use troops!" Zhao Shu took a deep look at Li Xu and warned, "On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Not everyone can become a general of Great Qin!"
"promise!"
During this period of time, Zhao Shu completely let go and did not pay attention to Nanzhou's affairs. He knew in his heart that Zhang Cang and Li Xin did not need his attention at all.
If they can't even sort out these things, then they are not suitable to stay in this position.
.......
Xianyang.
In Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Si: "Chang Shi, according to the information in the military newspaper, the army in Gongzi Shu's hands has exceeded 500,000!"
"All the time, when all military generals fight, their armies get smaller and smaller, but Young Master Shuque fights more and more!"
"What do the national government offices and the Su Nei History Office say? Can the supply of food and grass keep up?"
Hearing this, Li Si smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's a bit difficult. After all, the battle line is too long. Moreover, the current Gongzi Technique mobilizes an army of no more than 500,000 people, but nearly 600,000."
"The general went north and took away 300,000 Qin warriors. Only 300,000 Qin warriors remained in Chu."
"Young Master left 100,000 soldiers to guard Moling, and led an army of 200,000 soldiers southward. With the war between Zhuyue and Yue, the number of soldiers in the army increased to 300,000."
"Furthermore, 50,000 Da Qin Tower sailors gathered to go south, which resulted in the number reaching 350,000."
"Later, in order to conquer Baiyue, Gongzi Shu annexed the naval forces of Minyue, and later ate the naval forces of Nanyue, Luoyue and Xiou."
"As a result, the number of sailors in Da Qin Tower has reached one hundred thousand."
"This is already an army of 400,000 people!"
"Our army marched south to Yongchang County and West Dian County. The young master recruited young men from various tribes and selected soldiers to surrender. There are at least two hundred thousand people."
"As a result, the number of troops in the hands of the young master has reached 600,000. However, all counties need troops to be stationed, and they can eat everywhere!"
"The number of troops that require the imperial court to raise food and fodder from the south will not exceed 300,000."
"Only, the most troublesome thing is Nanzhou!"
"Nanzhou is now in a state of desolation. Whether it is food crops or the migrating population, we all need food and grass."
"Especially the initial construction of houses and the reclamation of wasteland..."
At this point, Li Si changed the subject and said, "I heard that the young master recruited craftsmen from the Chu region to go south."
"At the same time, we captured Ba Qing and established the Nanzhou Trading Company in Nanzhou..."
