"My lord is wise. Chi thinks so too."
"If my lord does not abandon me, I am willing to go to Jiangyang to negotiate peace with the Han family."
Jiang Chi hung the horsewhip on his wrist, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Gu Qingcheng to ask for orders.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Gu Qingcheng agreed to Jiang Chi's request very easily.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Also, sir, you can bring a gift for Han Cheng."
When it comes to peace talks, we can’t just rely on words.
Although Gu Qingcheng knew that for a celebrity like Jiang Chi, his tongue was his sharpest weapon.
With just one word, he can bring the dead back to life.
Persuading surrender, seeking peace, coercion, inducement... the ability of later bosses to paint a rosy picture is not worth mentioning compared with these strategists who are good at talking.
But, Gu Qingcheng has absolute strength.
With her "money power" as an assist, Jiang Chi can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"Senior Brother Mu's fleet has delivered another batch of food. We have more than enough food, so we can give some to Han Cheng."
"In addition, there are also some weapons and armor."
Gu Qingcheng really has nothing to lack.
Especially in recent months, there has been no need to supply Chen Duan, and her food, weapons and other supplies are almost overflowing from the warehouse.
Now, it’s just a small matter for Gu Qingcheng to use a portion of it as a “gift”.
Jiang Chi: ...
With so much food and supplies, he doesn't even need to talk.
A month has passed since Chen Duan’s accident.
Jiankang was controlled by Wang Qi, so the court naturally would not allocate food and money to Chen Duan's old subordinates.
Of course, Han Cheng could recruit people locally, but Jiangyang is so small and this is not a long-term solution.
If you live beyond your means, something bad will happen sooner or later.
Han Cheng may not be short of food now, but he will definitely not refuse the food and money that is delivered to his doorstep.
Even if Han Cheng had other plans, what about the soldiers under his command?
Jiang Chi thought three steps ahead and had already come up with one, two, and three strategies before he even went to Jiangyang.
The supplies given by Gu Qingcheng made Jiang Chi extremely confident.
He has even started planning—
If Han refused Gu's recruitment, he could just cook in the open space outside the city.
As for the dishes, of course they are the secret cooking recipes “invented” by the lord.
Especially the braised pork, wow, the aroma is so overbearing and it is truly unique.
When Jiang Chi joined the Gu family, he had tasted it in the military camp.
Even though it's lowly, stinky meat, it's really, really, really delicious.
Soft, tasty, fresh and delicious, it is not only loved by soldiers who are always hungry, but also by future nobles like Jiang Chi who come from a poor family.
Jiang Chi has already sketched out a scene——
Outside the city, on the open ground, there were big pots, and the firemen were holding shovels, frying sugar color and stir-frying meat.
Swish! Swish!
Hot pan, cold oil, pork belly wrapped in syrup, the smell is so fragrant that it can spread for miles.
The Jiangyang defenders who were nearby would surely be tempted to rebel when they saw that the Gu family soldiers, who were also small soldiers, could feast on the food.
And then... their bodies and their souls will eventually be seduced away by braised pork, white rice, big pancakes, etc.
I have to say, the Gu family is very rich.
And the girl from the Gu family, his master, is too generous and knows how to win people's hearts.
Even the most ordinary soldiers in the army have three meals a day, each with oil and water, and meat for lunch.
They can eat well and have enough food, and receive full military pay every month, which is paid on time and in the correct amount.
No delays, no skimping.
When soldiers are injured in battle, they have the best anti-inflammatory medicine and receive special care such as sick meals during their recovery.
If you unfortunately die in battle, the Gu family also has a complete set of standardized and comprehensive pension policies:
High pensions;
The families of fallen soldiers could work in any of Gu's workshops;
The families of fallen soldiers can also be allocated a quota for military service, and as long as they serve in the army, they will receive money to settle down.
...I heard that the Gu family implemented this policy when they were still in Lingnan.
Therefore, in Lingnan, the saying that "good men don't join the army" was directly broken by the Gu family.
The policies implemented by the Gu family gave the people of Lingnan a new understanding: one person serves in the army, and the whole family has enough food!
"No wonder the Gu family has built such a large foundation in just ten years in a wild place like Lingnan."
The more Jiang Chi understood Gu Qingcheng's actions, the more he admired this lord and the more fortunate he was that he had not chosen the wrong person.
…
"General, the Gu army is approaching Jiangyang."
"They are stationed three miles outside the city. The Gu family is determined to capture Jiang Yang."
In the temporary meeting hall of the Jiangyang County Government Office, a man dressed as a counselor gave a detailed report to the general sitting on the main seat.
There was some anxiety on the counselor's brow. With the enemy at the gates, how could he not be anxious?
The general sitting on the horse with a golden sword, Han Cheng, was not worried at all. Instead, there was a gleam of excitement in his puffy eyes.
The daughter of the Gu family is here.
She is a rare beauty in the world.
The key is that she is so virtuous.
She can be a good wife to Chen Duan, I am no worse than Chen Duan, maybe... hehehe...
