Once someone hires someone with a high salary or better treatment, employees will change jobs without hesitation. Some people are proud to be able to change jobs back and forth. It seems that this will show their ability and make them appear capable. Ordinary people.
Precisely because everyone has mutual interests, naturally there can be no real feelings. Unlike the people in front of them now, they all show great respect, even respectful eyes, which is looking up to the strong. , it is an emotional expression from the heart.
Some of these people were nobles who had to smile when they saw others. Some of them had experienced grievances and injustices and became slaves, people who were sold at will, and some were criminals of the prince's line. House slaves, they have simply suffered an unreasonable disaster. Only a few of them are capable and skilled craftsmen. They may live a good life without following Shen Ao, but they will never be as respected as they are in the Zhongguo Duke's mansion.
It was Shen Ao's appearance that gave them freedom.
It was Shen Ao's appearance that made them worry-free about food and clothing.
It was Shen Ao's appearance that allowed them to live without fear.
It was Shen Ao's appearance that saved them from being looked down upon by others.
It is the appearance of Shen Ao that allows them to be full of expectations for the future and to rely on their own performance to change their lives and their entire lives.
To sum up in one sentence, Shen Ao is their benefactor, their mentor in life, and their support for survival.
Facing the benefactor, everyone will naturally show the greatest enthusiasm. For example, everyone is gathered here to wait, which is another attitude that shows that you treat me with sincerity, and I will send you with sincerity. Never give up.
During the time when Shen Ao left Daliang City, although everyone still performed their duties, no one was afraid in the days without a backbone. They knew very well who gave them everything they had now. If something happened to Shen Ao, , I am afraid that they will return to hell from their current paradise-like life.
Even for their own sake, no one would not care about Shen Ao. In this way, when everyone learned that their master had returned safely, of course they all wanted to see him as soon as possible and send their greetings and blessings as soon as possible.
"There is no way, everyone is voluntary, we can't drive them away." Bai Qiutong stepped out from the crowd. She was wearing a long skirt and looked so pure and clear under the moon, like a holy fairy. .
"Okay." Shen Ao nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he slowly scanned everyone. Although he couldn't look at everyone in a short time, looking around like this was still surprising to everyone. Most people have a feeling that they are valued by Duke Zhongguo.
After a long while, Shen Ao looked back, and then clasped his fists, "I know everyone's thoughts, thank you for your concern for me. The future is long, as long as everyone works hard, the good times will still be there. What’s next? Now please go back and rest. After all, there is a new and hopeful day waiting for everyone.”
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. Mr. Guo is tired after coming all the way. Let's go and have a rest." Shi Lei, Feng Xun, Geng Liang, Tie Long and others in the crowd all stood up and directed the crowd to evacuate. And go.
After receiving Shen Ao's permission, everyone could understand that the Duke of Guo had not had a good rest all the way. They turned around and headed towards the courtyard where they were resting in an orderly manner. Soon the huge courtyard was empty. Come down.
Shen Ao also breathed a sigh of relief, and then when he saw Bai Qiutong, student Ning Feng, staff Zeng Tong, businessman Chang Hong, guard Geng Liang and others who were still staying there, he nodded lightly, "You guys go Wait a moment in front of the main room and come after someone washes up."
Although there had been carrier pigeon exchanges before, some specific things were still not clear. I called these people because I wanted to hear their personal reports, so that I could better grasp first-hand information.
Fortunately, Shen Ao is now a master of energy transformation, and his physical fitness is good. Even if he doesn't sleep for a few days, there is no big problem. Only then can he have enough energy to listen to the report.
That night, the lights in front of the main wing of Duke Zhongguo's Mansion were brightly lit until dawn. At this time, all the ministers had arrived at Taiji Hall and were standing in the main hall, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Qianwen.
Compared with the usual imperial court, today's court seemed very lively. Shen Ao's sudden return caught everyone off guard. And because the incident happened in the evening, everyone had no extra time to discuss with each other. Now it is the time When His Majesty arrived, everyone hurriedly expressed their opinions, trying to achieve unity of mind as much as possible.
Among the courtiers, most were whispering to each other, and very few people really stayed out of the matter. For example, Zhongcheng Hou Shen Yunyi was also surrounded by a group of generals at this time. Naturally, they were talking about Shen Ao's matter.
Last night, Qin Qi, the son of Yong Yonghou, was responsible for the security of the four gates. He was lucky enough to meet Shen Ao and was then given a hundred horses.
When it happened, not only Qin Qi, but also many soldiers from the North City Gate saw it. The news spread quickly, and when it reached the ears of other generals, it immediately caused an uproar.
It is said that there is no one among the generals who does not like horses, they are the most loyal partners on the battlefield. Due to the favorable geographical location and environment in Daqian, war horses have always been scarce. Sometimes when you want a good horse, it is Even if you have money, it’s hard to buy.
For this reason, I don’t know how many people in the generals have been looking forward to it, lamenting when Dagan can change the disadvantage of lack of horses. If Dagan can have more cavalry, won’t the combat power be as simple as raising a level?
I just regret that because of the coexistence of internal and external troubles in Daqian, this long-standing and difficult problem has never had a chance to be solved.
It's all right now. Shen Ao has returned. I heard that he brought with him tens of thousands of war horses alone. There were also many cattle, sheep, mules and horses. This made all the generals very happy. I thought I could go to court today. When you see Duke Zhongguo, you can be shameless and ask for some. If you can't, you can just spend some money to buy them.
As long as the quality of the war horse is good, what does it mean to spend some money?
Unfortunately, seeing that the gates of the Tai Chi Palace were closed, there was still no sign of Lord Zhongguo Shen Ao. Everyone was disappointed and turned their attention to Shen Ao's uncle Zhongchenghou. For a moment, he was beside him. There were many people surrounding it, which could even be described as densely packed.
Although Marquis Zhongcheng had not received news of Shen Ao's victorious return before, after entering the city yesterday, Shi Lei followed Shen Ao's order and went to Zhongcheng Marquis' Mansion first, and also brought 500 strong horses. He also brought I also gave a report on everything that happened during this expedition.
After Marquis Zhongcheng got the war horse and got the news, he was naturally very happy. He didn't expect that Shen Ao was just on the battlefield for the first time, but he performed so well. He was indeed Aoxue's son.
However, what made Marquis Zhongcheng even more happy was that Shen Ao had him in his heart. Not only did he give him 500 war horses, he also promised to give 2,000 more to other generals. Because Shen Ao was not familiar with everyone, this matter How to distribute it fell to Marquis Zhongcheng.
This is because Shen Ao didn't understand the situation. He clearly wanted to send benefits to Marquis Zhongcheng and let him be a good person.
How could Marquis Zhongcheng not feel comforted when he thought that Shen Ao was so sensible? When he came to the court this morning, he was very energetic. After seeing so many generals asking him questions, they even asked if there was anything left. When the war horses could be bought and sold, he simply became generous. Looking at the generals, he took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Since Duke Zhongguo gave Ying Yinghou the war horse, he will not favor one over the other. Everyone will have something to do next." After the next court, everyone will go back to the house with a certain person and go get the horses."
"Oh, Marquis Zhongcheng is so majestic and admirable."
"Okay, this Qing will be next. I will follow Marquis Zhongcheng back to his home in a while."
"Haha, I finally have a healthy horse to ride. I think that the old horse at home is getting old and I have been reluctant to let it go. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Thank you to Duke Zhongguo and to Marquis Zhongcheng. If you have anything to do in the future, just follow your instructions. I will naturally do what I can do."
"The same goes for so-and-so, even though he is just a count. But as long as I think highly of so-and-so in the future, just say so."
"The same goes for someone..."
The general sect became lively because of these words of Marquis Zhongcheng. At this moment, Marquis Zhongcheng's status in the entire general sect was also greatly improved.
Not as lively as Jiangmen's place, the right servant She Bailigui had a sullen face and didn't know what he was thinking. Officials belonging to his department came forward and asked for instructions from the court on what to do. At that time, he did not have a clear statement. He only said to wait and see what happens and let everyone watch his actions.
The reason why Bailigui refused to make a decision now was because he really didn't know what Shen Ao had done during this trip.
What if he defeated the barbarians?
Baili Gui couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart. So many brave generals were helpless against the barbarians, so what could a young boy do?
But according to people, Shen Ao brought back more than 10,000 healthy horses from this trip. How to explain this? Could it be that Shen Ao's trip was not to fight at all, but to engage in horse trading business? ?If this is the case, where did you get these strong horses?
How valuable is the war horse? No businessman can't see this business opportunity, but why can't others get horses, but Shen Ao can? What did this person do?
Not understanding this, Bailigui, who had always been cautious, felt a little uneasy. This feeling of not grasping the truth and not having the trump card made him very uncomfortable.
Compared with Bailigui's constant hesitation, Du Jin, a Hanlin scholar and known as the internal minister, was the most relaxed person among the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.
