"I can guarantee that if we forget the blame this time and just let these bullshit things go by lightly, these people will be more honest, but after I leave, it won't take long for them to return to their old ways, or even get worse, and treat me badly.
It is said that they can be easily crushed to death, but to ordinary people, these people can be easily crushed to death. If they are left alone, they are just cancerous tumors." Chu Nan looked at Yan Xiang who was silent.
Chu Nan's eyes made Yan Xiang a little angry, and he snorted coldly: "Then why don't you, sir, investigate thoroughly? Yes, not all of them are descendants of the noble family. I saw that you, sir, killed nobles and local scoundrels, but how about those poor people?"
But Hu is extremely tolerant, why is that?"
"The rich and noble people cannot be used by me, but the poor and small families can. Who to kill and who to keep? If I were sir, how would I choose? As for those local scoundrels, they may be humble, but they are the ones who have the greatest resentment among the people, and they can be killed.
People's hearts." Chu Nan looked at Yan Xiang and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yuan Shu relied on Yuan Shu to plot his plans, established the puppet dynasty, and even became the prime minister, you can't even see these things clearly? Or maybe you can see them clearly, but choose not to see them.
?”
"What a sharp mouth and a heart of stone! I thought you were a Legalist, but I didn't expect you to be such a slippery person!" Yan Xiang sneered.
"Now that I have seen it clearly, you still take the initiative to stand up and persuade me. Your husband is not much more noble than me. The difference is that Nan Ke can openly say it, but your husband does not dare to seek political power in his position."
, Since I am a nobleman, there is nothing wrong with speaking for the noblemen, but I am so secretive. I think in my heart, sir, I know that what I did is not wrong!" Chu Nan looked at Yan Xiang and said with a smile.
"In that case, if you and I don't agree, let's just say goodbye!" Yan Xiang snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
"Sir, wait a minute!" Chu Nan called to Yan Xiang.
"What else is there?" Yan Xiang looked at Chu Nan and frowned.
"Zhou Cang." Chu Nan looked at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang quickly found an official seal and handed it to Yan Xiang.
"What does this mean?" Yan Xiang frowned and looked at Chu Nan.
"This is the seal of the prefect of Guangling. There is no shortage of county magistrates under my lord's command, but there are few talents to govern the local area. The talent of the gentleman is not top-notch, but it should be enough to govern a county." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Ha~" Yan Xiang laughed in anger, looked at Chu Nan and mocked: "Do you think I will work for you?"
"I think so." Chu Nan nodded and smiled: "When I return to Xiapi this time, I will take your husband's family papers with me. They will live a good life in Xiapi."
"You..." Yan Xiang's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Chu Nan and said with a sullen face, "I don't remember any of the children in the clan who have done anything harmful to nature!"
"Sir, I am the prime minister of the Zhong family in the puppet dynasty. I helped Yuan Shu to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor. For this reason, even if I kill everyone in the world, they will not say that I am excessive." Chu Nan looked at Yan Xiang and smiled and said, "If you, sir, are like that,
I would not use this method to a man of high moral integrity, but since my husband used his official career to exchange for the peace of these nobles, it means that he is not really high-class and honest, or in other words, he is not selfless, so I will not use this method to him.
There is no psychological burden at all.”
Yan Xiang's face turned a little dark, and he looked at Chu Nan and said: "How many people have died at your hands before, why don't you use this method to force them to submit?"
"I still have some moral integrity. Not everyone is worthy of me using these methods." Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Do I still have to thank you for your kindness?" Yan Xiang snorted coldly.
"Thank yourself if you want. After all, what we need are talents, not waste. There are many Confucian scholars under Yuan Shu's command, but talents... With all due respect, I only see Mr. Sir." Chu Nan stood up and took Zhou Cang's hand.
The official seal in his hand was placed in front of Yan Xiang: "I have sent someone to invite you. As for whether the prefect is willing to do it, that is his business. I never force others."
"Do I still have a choice?" Yan Xiang looked at Chu Nan bitterly.
"Of course." Chu Nan turned back, looked at Yan Xiang and said, "Sir, if you die here right now, Nan will never embarrass your family. God cannot give people only one way. Please think about it, sir, and I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Chu Nan ignored Yan Xiang and went straight out of the main hall, going back to continue the snow, moon and flowers with his wife. It was rare to rest, and he didn't want to waste time on an old man.
Yan Xiang looked at the direction Chu Nan was leaving, and then at the official seal on the table. He sat down dejectedly, looking at the seal in front of him, and suddenly thought of Yuan Shu who had left. If Yuan Shu had half the calmness and skill of this young man,
There wouldn't be a defeat like today.
After sitting in the main hall for a long time, Yan Xiang stood up and silently hung the seal on his waist. He did not dare to commit suicide and could not ignore the life and death of his family. He suddenly felt a little pitiful. It turned out that his destiny was controlled by others.
Such an uncomfortable thing.
The future of this child will be... amazing!
With such a mood, Yan Xiang took one step forward and appeared at the door. He took another step and appeared at the Yimen. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Ma'am, you've been waiting for a long time." When she returned to the backyard, she saw Lu Lingqi standing beside the rockery, lost in thought. She seemed to be very lost in thought, and when she had nothing to do, she seemed to have nothing else to do except being in a daze.
Lu Lingqi shook her head: "Business matters are important, so why does Yan Xiang come to see your husband?"
"I want to become an official." Chu Nan smiled.
"He...isn't a noble?" Lu Lingqi was confused. Chu Nan's attitude had always been to suppress the nobles and win over the poor.
"The nobles have to make use of what they need. Most of the talents from poor families are county magistrates. There are very few people who are qualified for the position of prefect." Chu Nan sighed.
"The talents of aristocratic families must be better than those from poor families?" Lu Lingqi was somewhat dissatisfied with this. The Lu family also came from a poor family.
"Let's put it this way, as far as the governor is concerned, one hundred talents can be produced among the nobles, but it may take a thousand people to produce one among the poor families. Of course, if you talk about military generals, this has to be reversed. The poor families
It is easier to produce powerful generals among them. After all, if a poor family wants to rise, military generals are a good way to go. In the battle on the battlefield, those who stay behind are not strong enough, but the nobles... they don't have to go all out." Chu Nan sighed, if it had been the case at the beginning.
Really desperate, he might join the army.
"Then how can he be willing to serve in our army?" Lu Lingqi didn't understand this, but Yan Xiang was also a famous scholar, so he was eager to become an official?
"After my husband Xiaozhi moved me emotionally and reasoned, he agreed." Chu Nan nodded.
Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan speechlessly, with a hint of anger in her slightly ethereal eyes: "Although I don't understand this, my husband really thinks that I am stupid?"
"The meaning is similar. Yan Xiang was originally a thief, and his reputation was mostly ruined. I naturally agreed to let his family go through this purge," Chu Nan said with a smile.
"Then why don't you, husband, use this method on other people so that there will be less killing?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
"If I use this method to force Madam to submit and serve me, will Madam be sincere?" Chu Nan asked in return.
"No!" Lu Lingqi shook her head: "I will wait for an opportunity to save my family, and if I have the strength, I will kill someone."
"I can still keep an eye on one or two, but if there are more... I won't be able to play with him. It is worth spending all this energy to let him be used by our army. Yan Xiang is worthy of it. However, if everyone is used in this way, once I come
There is no shortage of these people. Secondly, it is difficult to take care of their family papers, so it would be easier to kill them." Chu Nan nodded and said, this is the mentality of most people.
"Then your husband is not afraid of the evil beast's backlash?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
"At least using him now can solve the urgent need. In the future, when there are more talents, we can take back the power in his hands. If he dares to be dishonest, he will be killed. When you employ people, first see if they are useful, and then look for his weaknesses to see if you can control them.
Finally, let’s see if it’s practical.”
"What is practical?" Lu Lingqi asked curiously.
"How much energy does it take to control him? If this person can bring great benefits to our army and the energy required for control is not large, then use it. Otherwise, don't use it. If you choose people based on merit, I am afraid that except for teachers, there will be no one under my father-in-law's command.
He is not qualified to be a husband." Chu Nan sighed: "That's how it is in this world. Everyone has selfish motives and only looks at their flaws. No one in this world can use him."
Lu Lingqi nodded. Ever since she got her husband, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.
"Husband?"
"Um."
"Have you ever thought about taking a concubine?"
"Why do you ask, madam?" Chu Nan looked at his wife in surprise, she was so clueless.
"I have been married to my husband for nearly a year, but I have never been able to get pregnant..." Lu Lingqi sighed. This offspring is a big problem.
Think about future generations for your husband, otherwise you will be jealous of your wife. Over time, men will get bored.
"Madam, you don't have to think too much. You and I are still young. Let's take our time with this child." Chu Nan smiled and shook his head. It is good progress to be able to have sex normally. As for having a child... he estimated that his wife would have to be able to do so.
You have to control your own talents to the extreme, otherwise... with your wife's talents, it may not be easy to get pregnant.
Every time his thousands of descendants enter the army, they are first to be scorched by fire. In this case, if the quality of the essence is too low, they may not be able to withstand it.
"It's actually not difficult for Madam to get pregnant. You don't even need to see a doctor." Chu Nan thought for a while, looked at his wife and said.
"What should we do?" Lu Lingqi looked at Chu Nan blankly. She did have the intention of checking with Hua Tuo when she went back.
Chu Nan looked around and saw that Zhou Cang had not come over. He moved closer and whispered a few words in Lu Lingqi's ear.
"What do you think, ma'am?"
A blush gradually appeared on Lu Lingqi's cold and jade-like face, with a rare look of embarrassment. Chu Nan suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. He looked at the sky, leaned close to his wife's ear, almost biting her earlobe and said: "Madam, the sky
It’s getting late, how about I wait to enter the house and try this method?”
Lu Lingqi did not speak. Silence at this time is naturally a woman's reserve. Chu Nan reached out and picked her up. His wife's delicate body was already soft, and she allowed her husband to carry her back to the room...
