Chapter 275 Pie in the sky
Counselor Liu of the Jiang family?
Lin Xiaofan still had some impression of this person. He also gave advice on the way to escape before. And from what Jiang Li said, this person has real talent and knowledge, and has helped the Jiang family become one of the four major families. He has a strong say in the Jiang family.
The Jiang family's willingness to help him this time is probably due to this person.
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised by his arrival. He just thought that the Jiang family was in trouble and needed his help. If so, he would still be willing to help.
"Invite him to the guest room quickly."
Lin Xiaofan said.
In the guest room, the two people sat opposite each other. Lin Xiaofan looked at this person carefully, holding a whisk in his hand, his face was thin and capable, and his eyes were bright.
Lin Xiaofan poured tea for him and gestured:
"Counselor Liu, have some tea."
Lin Xiaofan still respected this person who helped him in disguise.
"I'm Liu Hezhi. If Counselor Lin doesn't mind me, just call me Hezhi."
Liu Hezhi took a sip of tea and then saluted.
"Brother Hezhi, why are you here this time?"
Lin Xiaofan didn't feel awkward shouting. Although he didn't know Liu Hezhi's true age, he looked like he was in his twenties, similar to his previous life.
"Counsel Lin, to be honest, I came here this time to discuss something with General Jianbai."
Jianbai? When did they get involved?
Lin Xiaofan was a little confused. In my impression, it seems that these two people have never communicated with each other.
"Xiaoran, go and call brother Jianbai."
Although he was confused, Lin Xiaofan still asked Li Xiaoran who was standing by to call someone.
After a while, Jian Bai arrived in the room. Seeing that he didn't look very good, he probably drank too much last night and hadn't woken up this morning.
Seeing the two of them, Jian Bai cupped his hands, then sat aside and asked straight to the point:
"Counsel Liu, I wonder what you want from me?"
"General Jianbai, are you going to Yantian County to establish some achievements?"
Liu Hezhi asked at the beginning.
Hearing this, Jian Bai was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Liu Hezhi to know this.
But it's not surprising when you think about it. He once reported it to the emperor, and some powerful people in the capital knew about it. Some well-informed people should also be able to learn this news.
"Exactly."
Jian Bai nodded in agreement.
"General Jianbai, are you still short of manpower for this trip?"
After saying this, Liu Hezhi stared straight at Jian Bai.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan and Jian Bai immediately understood that Liu Hezhi wanted to go to Yantian with Jian Bai to establish some achievements.
Both of them were happy. Liu Hezhi has led the company to this day, and he must have some abilities. Moreover, during the battle the night before yesterday, they also saw that this man was very resourceful.
Right now, Jian Bai is short of manpower, especially such capable people.
However, Jian Bai did not rush to agree, but instead said:
"Counsel Liu, if you come, I will definitely welcome you. But the situation in Xantian County is very bad. There are internal strife and external troubles. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. Moreover, the climate there is hotter, and there are many poisonous insects. Miasma, it’s not easy to adapt to the environment there.”
He must explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly before agreeing.
"Brother Jianbai, don't worry, I, Liu Hezhi, am definitely not a hypocritical person."
Liu Hezhi bowed. Establishing a career has been his dream since childhood.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I welcome Counselor Liu to join. But if I poach you away, the Jiang family will probably hate me."
Jian Bai laughed. After the battle in Qingzhou, Lin Xiaofan performed like a god, and he also understood that it is extremely important to have a good counselor.
"It doesn't matter, now the Jiang family is one of the four major families in Li Feng Town. Although the background is still a bit shallow, with Counselor Lin and the Zhao family, the development will only get better and better. Regarding this matter, I will discuss with you They made it clear.”
Liu Hezhi said.
He was born into a wealthy family. He loved reading since he was a child. He could write poems at the age of nine and was called a child prodigy by his neighbors.
However, when he was thirteen years old, there was a flood and famine all over the country, and there were refugees everywhere who did not have enough to eat. Their home was ransacked by robbers, and he was the only one who survived.
The original head of the Jiang family cherished his talent and saw that he was pitiful, so he was brought into the family to support his education.
Since then, he has been more diligent and hardworking, often reading until dawn. When he was twenty years old, the Jiang family happened to encounter a disaster, and he relied on his wisdom to help the family tide over the difficulties. Since then, he has had a seat in the Jiang family's meeting hall. Whenever something happens, the family members will ask for his opinion.
He didn't disappoint his family either, making accurate decisions every time. At the age of twenty-six, he helped his family become one of the four major families. He originally wanted to go out and make contributions, but considering that the family's foundation was not stable, he stayed back.
This time, he successfully led the Jiang family to join the Zhao family and Lin Xiaofan, and he also had the opportunity to make contributions.
"That's good."
When Jian Bai heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, his face was full of excitement.
Next, Liu Hezhi began to analyze the situation in Yantian County for Jian Bai.
The two of them talked very much and seemed to regret meeting each other so late. After talking about this, Liu Hezhi talked about how to organize the army and how to govern the country and bring peace to the people.
Lin Xiaofan stood aside and nodded silently, listening with great interest. I have to say that this person is indeed a talent.
It wasn't until just before noon that a few people came back to their senses. Lin Xiaofan then remembered that he had to go to the children's place to show off today. No, it should be said to be storytelling.
"With Brother Hezhi here, I feel like I have accomplished a great job."
Jian Bai said with a smile, even changing his title.
He didn't believe in pie-in-the-sky stuff before, but now he does. Before setting off, I unexpectedly picked up such a good military advisor for nothing.
"Counsel Liu, I have a question, why don't you join the court as an official? I feel that with your talent, you will definitely be able to reach a high position."
Jian Bai said. What he said was true.
Although given the current situation in the imperial court, whether he can become a high official still depends on the faces of the families in the capital. But as long as you have real talent and knowledge, are on the right team, and show enough loyalty to a certain big family, they will definitely support you all the way up.
Sitting in the Yamen is not much better than going to Yantian County with him?
Hearing this, Liu Hezhi shook his head and said:
"I am free-spirited by nature and cannot stand the strictures of officialdom."
There was nothing he said in his heart. The country was rotten to the core, and the emperor was not worthy of support. However, in order not to leave any clues, he still chose to be cautious in his words and actions.
"Brother Hezhi, I am the same."
After Jian Bai thought for a moment, he accepted the answer.
Lin Xiaofan ate a few bites of food in a hurry and then rushed to meet the group of children for an appointment. This time Lin Xiaofan not only told the story of the Battle of Qingzhou, but also told the children some short stories from his past life, which made them very happy.
The residents of Lifeng Town who were passing by listened closely to a section and were immediately fascinated. By the time it was time to eat, many people had gathered around.
Lin Xiaofan swallowed, feeling that his mouth and tongue were a little dry, and then he was ready to leave.
"Counsel Lin, could you tell me again about the first half of the Qingzhou War?"
"Let's talk about it when we have a chance. Let's prepare to eat first."
"Counsel Lin, are you coming tomorrow?"
"Come when you have time."
