"Principal, Yan Zipei left early in the morning." Wang Zuo said with a smirk at the office door.
"Oh? He doesn't need to be in such a hurry." Lin Hai also had a sly smile on his face: "Glass is fragile. If he leaves in such a hurry, it would be bad if it gets bumped or scratched."
"Well... he took quite a few people with him, bought up all the quilts in the market, and wrapped them up three times inside and three times outside..."
"Did you take away a lot of people?"
"Yes, he brought seventy-six people with him when he came, and took away one hundred and forty people when he left. He was probably afraid that he couldn't provide protection with too few people, so he sent letters to the government offices along the way, asking them to provide protection." When he said this, Wang Zuo looked ashamed.
"I don't blame you. With our immigration policy, it's good enough to screen out some spies. After all, we basically want everyone. This time, he took dozens of spies away on his own initiative, which is worth it." Lin Hai comforted.
"The principal is right. But if we give the emperor a glass dragon every time he has a birthday..." Wang Zuo hesitated to speak.
"Why, can't the production keep up?"
"Oh, that's not the case. More than 200 have been produced. I'm just worried that the emperor won't live to see that day." Wang Zuo had just returned from the warehouse and was very clear about it.
"It's okay, we still have the prince. Doesn't the Chen Dynasty still have an emperor? Don't worry, they can be used up. But you also reminded me to ask the factory to produce some more four-clawed and three-clawed golden dragon styles, so they can be given to many people." Lin Hai ordered.
"Well... speaking of which, wouldn't the emperors find that what was delivered the second year was exactly the same as what was delivered the previous year?" Wang Zuo was a little confused.
"Think about it again." Lin Hai held his forehead and said, "What if they find out when we send it over again?"
"Okay. By the way, Principal, when Yan Zipei left, he left behind one thousand taels of silver, saying it was compensation for the teacups and the rockery."
Lin Hai was a bit surprised. He was originally thinking of putting it all in the warehouse, but when he turned around and saw Shi Zhen'er's expectant eyes, he changed his words to: "Well, put eleven taels in the warehouse, and give the rest to Zhen'er. It can be considered a gift from Yan Zipei. Oh, there are extra teacups, and the rockery doesn't need to be repaired. It looks pretty good now."
Although Lin Hai didn't understand why Shi Zhen'er also started saving money, he thought that the money came from a legitimate source, so if she wanted to keep it, then let her keep it. It wasn't a big deal.
War consumes a huge amount of resources, especially since it has only been a few years since the last war. Apart from population, the resource reserves of various countries are actually not rich, so no one wants to touch Qinghe.
In this situation, it is actually the best option for all countries to unite and swallow Qinghe. After all, the addition of an extra variable makes everyone uncomfortable, but generally speaking, Qinghe still abides by the rules. At least after you pay, Qinghe will really supply goods. Besides, no one wants the other party to swallow Qinghe alone. Even in name, Qinghe is still a part of the Daliang Empire, so such an alliance will only exist in theory.
"You have to remember that humans will never choose the optimal solution." This is what Lin Hai specifically mentioned to Xue Wuxia during a training class: "If you want others to listen to your advice, then give them three options: the best, the middle, and the worst. Put your solution in the middle. For the best option, give them a theoretically optimal solution. For the worst option, give them a suggestion that sounds stupid. Don't worry, they will definitely choose the middle one."
Xue Wuxia taught this course very well.
So Tang Tong also got three strategies: good, medium and bad.
Strictly speaking, these three strategies were a sudden inspiration from Xin Yue. After reading them, Tang Tong couldn't make up his mind. He wanted to discuss them with Xue Wuxia, but he didn't want to let this woman, whose background he couldn't figure out, know too much.
However, if Tang Tong knew the truth, then he should be clear that the initiator of these three strategies was actually Xue Wuxia, and Xin Yuetu was just a second-hand player.
So he didn't need to be on guard against Xue Wuxia like this. After all, there weren't many people belonging to him in his general's mansion. If it was just for the sake of office efficiency, Xue Wuxia even wanted to move the office of Zhaoyang Station to Tang Tong's general's mansion.
"General Tang, just say what you want to say. Being hesitant is not what a hero does." After watching Tang Tong's performance for a while, Xue Wuxia felt not very interested, so he spoke directly.
"Now I have established contact with General Xinyue. He can give me what I want, or even more, but..." Tang Tong said carefully.
Haha, he was fighting to the death a few days ago, and today he calls him "General Xinyue". Men are really untrustworthy.
"General Tang, please feel free to tell me. But if it's inconvenient for me to know, I won't tell you. I'm not the type to pry into other people's secrets," Xue Wuxia said. After all, she had written the secret herself, so there was really no need to pry.
"Well, I'm already on your ship, so it's okay to tell you." Tang Tongdao said.
"General Xinyue can give me what I want, but what he wants is difficult."
"Oh? What does he want?" Xue Wuxia was still cooperating in the conversation.
"General Xinyue said he has three options. The best one is for me to launch an attack on the Chongzuo defense line. General Xinyue will tell me where the supplies are stored. I will openly 'seize' them and take them back. That way, no one can say anything bad about it."
"That's a good idea. What does General Xinyue need?"
"After I take away the supplies, he will launch a massive counterattack. I need to help him kill two people and retreat back to Chongzuo, restoring the current battle line. Then, we can pretend nothing happened."
"It seems that General Xin Yuetu also has a very strong desire for 'progress'." Xue Wuxia knew that this was also one of the agreements reached between Qinghe and Xin Yuetu, which was to help him kill the Cambodian general and military supervisor in Chongzuo in a fair and open manner, so that Xin Yuetu, as the deputy general, would naturally get the right to command the entire army.
