After hurriedly returning to the main town hall, the housekeeper had already arranged for someone to pack up a guest room for the "wonderful man".

The layout in the room is very simple, with a bed, a cabinet, a table, and a chair, and that's it. But for Chen Kai, it is enough to have a roof to cover his head, clothes to wear, and a stable source of food.

Staying alive is the core idea of ​​everything he has done so far, because he knows very well that only by living can he have a future.

Chen Kai was on the boat all morning. He spent a lot of time on the road, meeting and saying goodbye. It was already past lunch time, but the butler still brought a lunch with vegetables and soup. Although it was not very rich, it was still full of food.

There are some home-cooked dishes, but they are well prepared for emergencies, which shows the quality of these servants of Zheng's wealthy family.

In the first two days, my diet was relatively mediocre. Even on the second day, I had to bury the rotting corpses, so I didn't have time to eat at noon. Now that I'm in a comfortable place, I don't have to worry about my life for the time being, so the food has become extra special.

It's so sweet. If it weren't for a waiter waiting in the room, Chen Kai would probably have looked even uglier when he ate.

"Mr. Chen, the master of the family has given instructions. My husband has traveled thousands of miles south to join Master Wang. He must have worked very hard. Today I will rest in peace and rest, and I will take care of my husband tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, please thank Mr. Guo on behalf of the students for your kindness."

After lunch, Chen Kai recovered a little and fell asleep. He slept until the evening, when the boy came over with dinner, and he faintly woke up.

The dishes for dinner were completely different from those for lunch. After the meal, Chen Kai looked at the moon in the courtyard for a while. After taking a bath, he returned to bed again. He wanted to finish the unfinished business between the bed and the previous two days.

A complementary posture. But this time, he did not fall asleep directly. Instead, he kept his eyes open and thought about how to shine under Zheng Chenggong's banner.

Everything that happened today, except for the extra ten taels of silver, was almost as expected by Chen Kai. This was all due to his understanding of history and his correct estimation of Zheng Chenggong's general current situation.

Even the remuneration was calculated by him before - the Zheng family is a maritime merchant family, but the rich are rich, not to mention the current embarrassment, even if it was like that in the past, since Zheng Chenggong is willing to spend these ten

Two taels of silver, subconsciously you will want to make the ten taels of silver play a greater value. It is like gambling, placing a bet, even if you just say it is for fun, winning or losing does not matter, but in your heart you still long for it

To get rewards.

Regarding the human heart, many things are universal in any era!

The identity of Tong Sheng in Datong Prefecture, Shanxi was naturally fabricated by Chen Kai. The reason why he chose such a far distance was to prevent the Zheng family from having the opportunity to conduct investigations. Originally, Chen Kai planned to use the place in Beizhili, but considering the location along the coast of the Zheng family

Due to his network of connections, he directly chose Datong Prefecture, because if nothing unexpected happened, there would be a massacre there in the year to come, a massacre that he would be unable and powerless to prevent in Guangdong.

However, the extra ten taels of silver depended entirely on Chen Kai's on-the-spot reaction, and he should have benefited from it. Of course, the reason for such a predicament lies in the fact that a modern person lives in a world where cashlessness is becoming more and more common.

It's hard to see how much silver is worth at a glance. At least before Lin Dezhong shied away, Chen Kai had been regarding the two ingots of ten taels of silver as five taels.

Fortunately, after today, I have a place to stay. According to Chen Kai's memory, Zheng Chenggong started his army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty here at the end of last year. Now it is only the end of April, April 28th to be exact, that is.

It's only been half a year. It can't be said to be completely destitute, but the foundation is still very thin, and there should still be some places that can reflect the sense of existence.

Of course, if you want to do something, you must first get Zheng Chenggong's approval. However, through the fog of history, Chen Kai clearly remembers that almost all subsequent readers of history have such things as stubbornness, determination, and even in their descriptions of Zheng Chenggong's personal character.

It's a word like self-willed.

Such a character is indeed not easy to convince, but if you think about it the other way around, as long as you convince Zheng Chenggong and make Zheng Chenggong believe in his proposal, then even if other people have objections, they may not be able to shake his determination.

If it were a veteran like Zheng Zhilong, or someone else in Zheng Jun, Chen Kai might not have such great confidence, but Zheng Chenggong is still young after all. Even though he is much smarter than ordinary people, he has only been exposed to practical work for the past two years.

It is basically military affairs and requires more accumulation of experience. Compared with those figures whose abilities are far inferior to him in history, his success rate is actually higher.

"Whether we can gain a firm foothold in Zheng Chenggong's small group depends on tomorrow!"

………………

He went to bed early, thinking about the important events of the day ahead, so he naturally woke up earlier. Chen Kai woke up early, rethinking and planning how to deal with Zheng Chenggong again, constantly solving problems and solving problems, and never tired of it.

Sure enough, when the daily military meeting was probably over, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to recruit Chen Kai. The banquet was held in the evening, and it was probably during the day. Zheng Chenggong also wanted to chat with him to see where he could put the "bet".

"Win it back, and how much profit you can get.

Chen Kai arrived at the Tiger Festival Hall and bowed politely. Compared with last time, he had a seat this time. Moreover, Chen Bao and Hong Xu were not here, so there were only two of them at the moment.

"How did Mr. Chen rest yesterday?"

Zheng Chenggong opened his mouth to exchange greetings, and Chen Kai quickly stood up and said in return: "Thank you very much, Mr. Guo Xing, for your concern. The student has indeed not slept so peacefully in some days."

"Mr. Chen, there is no need to be polite, just sit back and answer."

"Students obey orders."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Zheng Chenggong asked some personal questions about Chen Kai, such as his parents and marriage. Chen Kai answered them one by one, always highlighting a single person. Even on the issue of his parents, he did not continue to make it up to win.

Zheng Chenggong's sympathy for the same people is just trying to be simple and easy to remember.

Soon, after all these concerns, Zheng Chenggong said bluntly: "The late emperor died for his country, and the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong were occupied by the captives. I rebelled in Nan'ao and felt that I was alone. Now that Mr. Chen has come from thousands of miles away, I am not happy.

Zisheng. Mr. Chen has just arrived and should have rested for a few days to fulfill his friendship as a landlord. However, the country's affairs are very difficult and we need to continue our efforts. I dare to ask Mr. Chen to tell the truth, what is the director's talent?"

As Zheng Chenggong claimed, he was alone and weak. Now was the time to seek talents. Chen Kai knew very well that this thirst for talents was not the kind of seeking fame and reputation at all, but was in real urgent need.

Talented people are used by him. And more importantly, since Chen Kai traveled thousands of miles south, he should have some skills. With this expectation, there is a bit of urgency here, but it is understandable.

"The students are deeply grateful for the kindness they received from Mr. Guo. However, the students feel that they have neither the strength to tie the chicken with their hands nor the bones to carry the firewood on their shoulders. They are really frightened."

Hearing such an answer, Zheng Chenggong was caught off guard. Anger welled up in his heart, but when he noticed that Chen Kai not only did not stand up and salute and apologize, but instead looked at him with a smile on his face. Even if he suddenly realized

.

"The gentleman claims that his hands are not strong enough to tie a chicken and his shoulders are not strong enough to carry firewood. Does that mean that he has the wisdom to think deeply?"

"I don't dare to claim intelligence in vain. It's just that I like to think wildly on weekdays, and I have some miscellaneous knowledge in my heart that can't be accepted in the elegant hall. I really don't know how to serve the country's surname."

After Chen Kai said these words with confidence, Zheng Chenggong's eyes also lit up. He risked angering Zheng Chenggong, who has a bad temper, and emphasized that he was powerless, not just to pave the way for deep thought.

, and more importantly, he simply did not want to participate in the military under Zheng Chenggong early.

For Chen Kai, he likes history, so he can see more comprehensively in this era, which is a great advantage. However, the historical records are confusing and lacking in content, and later generations have made up their minds, especially relying on memory alone, and he has no idea about many details.

In fact, things cannot be said to be too familiar. Especially the details of Zheng Chenggong's early military operations. Due to their small scale and low victory rate, for Chen Kai, they are more hidden in the fog of history.

Coming from modern times, Chen Kai does not dare to have any contempt for the ancients. Especially for those people who can leave their names in history. They can survive in harsh environments and achieve great results. They should be regarded as

There is something extraordinary about him. Chen Kai doesn't think that his more historical knowledge is anything special. What's more, his understanding of some things in the early days of Zheng Chenggong's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty is vague. Since he can't help in this regard,

It is better to settle down and do something more meaningful. But how can it play a greater role there? Chen Kai has no idea about this.

Like Chen Kai, Zheng Chenggong didn't know where to use Chen Kai more appropriately. He was now in short supply of talents, so naturally he was thinking about how to make them more effective. The worst plan he had originally planned was that Chen Kai would not be able to use him.

Even though he had no talent, he was still capable of copywriting. Now that Chen Kai seemed so confident, Zheng Chenggong hesitated a little.

"It's better than this. Mr. Guo Xing will send people to take the students around relevant places. The students need to conduct on-site inspections. Maybe they can think of ways to help Mr. Guo Xing."

When you first arrive in a new area, you must first conduct relevant research before deciding on a marketing strategy. This is the most basic thing. Chen Kai learned it at the beginning and practiced it in the workplace. The principle has not changed now, and he still applies what he has learned.

"In that case, I will personally accompany Mr. Chen to conduct an inspection."

Zheng Chenggong personally accompanied him?

Even though Chen Kaidang was a little flattered by such a big reputation, he said: "The master of the country has many things to do, but the students really don't dare to work hard."

"It doesn't matter."
