$49, I Will Not Repeat the Same Mistakes (Please Read It Later)

…

After moving from the side house to three open rooms, Xu Xing was not in a hurry to practice the Pulse Condensation Jue given by Yao Dang. He first ordered people to move Siming Mountain's accumulated account books from King Weitian's room to his study, and then looked at the account books Start checking the materials in the warehouse and sorting them out one by one.

On the first day of taking office, Xu Xing has to show off his internal affairs talents and convince everyone in the village.

Housekeeping... seems unimportant.

But just the deployment of military rations is enough to stump a group of green forest heroes.

Give a simple example.

If Siming Mountain's monthly military ration expenditure requires at least one hundred dan, under the coordination of mediocre people, it may cost 150 dan a month, or even two to three hundred dan.

However, with the rationing of the talented people, it was enough to reduce it to only seventy shi of food a month, and it could also keep the soldiers and horses in the village well fed without affecting their combat effectiveness.

The remaining rations are enough to recruit twice as many soldiers.

This is the value of internal affairs talents.

Maybe I don’t have the ability to increase revenue, but I definitely have the ability to reduce expenditure.

In just three days, Xu Xing sorted out all the inventory up and down Siming Mountain, rewrote it into an account book, and presented it to Yao Dang, the King of Mourning Heaven.

He used to be the Dian Mangcheng, responsible for the collection of miscellaneous animals handed over by the pastoral supervisors.

In other words, he is the accountant of Taipu Temple.

"Fourth brother..."

"I don't know how many talented people there are in the imperial court like you."

After Yao Dang read the account books, he suddenly felt frustrated and asked Xu Xing.

He and King Weitian used to manage the internal affairs of Siming Mountain, and the account books compiled by the two of them were already settled in his opinion. But the account book Xu Xing presented to him was concise and clear, and every material item could be put to its best use and arranged appropriately...

The gap is really too big.

And Xu Xing was only an eighth-rank official in the imperial court.

Resisting the imperial court, raising an army to rebel... This was the first time he felt powerless.

"As numerous as the stars."

Xu Xing thought carefully for a while and gave his answer, "My younger brother is only a minor official in the imperial court. After serving as Dian Mangcheng, he has not been promoted for two years. I think there must be someone in the temple whose political performance is higher than my younger brother's... It's hard to win." enumerate!"

"Fourth brother..."

When Yao Dang heard this, he burst into laughter.

He understood the meaning of Xu Xing's words.

These words seemed to be modest, but in fact they were informing him of the corruption of the court. With Xu Xing's talent, if you think about it, you will know that there will definitely not be too many people in the temple. However, such talents could not get promotion in the imperial court, and there was no hope of promotion. It can be seen that even if the world's elite are gathered in the court, they are still vulnerable.

"From now on, fourth brother, you will take care of the internal affairs yourself."

"Brother Yu, don't ask anymore."

Yao Dang plans to delegate power.

He was already busy with official duties and had no time to take care of the house, so he let his second son Wei Tianwang take on the position of housekeeper of the village. Now that he is here in Xu Xing, he is ready to follow the rules.

"You are the fourth brother..."

"Not my subject.

Seeing that Xu Xing was about to refuse, Yao Dang grabbed Xu Xing's right arm and stopped him from bowing down. "The internal affairs of the village are what the eldest brother promised in front of the brothers in the village. I will leave them to you! If you want to do anything, Report to me, what should brothers think of me? "

"The cottage is not my private property."

He repeated this again.

It's just that it's not in front of King Kun Tian, ​​but in front of Xu Xing.

If Xu Xing really intends to tamper with the account books, Yao Dang, the king of mourning, believes that with his ability, he should not be able to see the fishiness in it... Instead of asking about everything and showing that he is suspicious of Xu Xing, why not be direct and generous? Some people don't use them if they are suspicious, but they don't doubt the people they employ.

The ability of old officials to make false accounts is difficult for ordinary people to compare with.

Not to mention everyone who is proficient in arithmetic...

"Thank you for your attention, brother."

Seeing that Yao Dang didn't seem to be faking it, Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and agreed.

He didn't know whether Yao Dang's actions were due to his red destiny [Reformation] or other reasons. After all, the introduction to [Reform]’s fate states: ‘Innovation in Dinggu will eliminate the accumulated shortcomings of past dynasties and easily win the favor of the master. ’

[Reform] destiny makes it easier for him to gain Yao Dang's trust.

But among them, his caution in everything is also indispensable.

He didn't have any military power, so Yao Dang trusted him more than others when using him.

…

Walk out of Taxue Pavilion where King Mou Tian lives.

Xu Xing rubbed his eyebrows.

Yao Dang treated him with such sincerity, which made him feel quite uncomfortable. He did have bad intentions when he entered Siming Mountain. I want to use Siming Mountain as a stepping stone to fight for supremacy in the world, destroy the divine capital, and take revenge for my own blood...

Whether it was Changji or the three heavenly kings, he always intended to take advantage of them.

But now….

"Why do you think so much?"

"Su Qin said, 'Let me have two hectares of land in Luoyang, and be able to wear the seals of the six kingdoms.' At first, Cao Cao just wanted to be a prince based on his merit and become a general of the Han Dynasty in the Western Conquest."

"If it gets to that point, I won't be able to make the decision."

Xu Xing calmed down.

It is an instinct to seize power.

If he is willing to take a step back, everything will be out of his control from now on.

Step back, step by step, until your feet touch the cliff, and all you can do is jump.

If you don't let me down, I will never let you down...

Power struggles are always bloody.

Only when he holds his fist can he have the ability and qualification to show loyalty.

Instead of waiting for the sword to come, begging for mercy from others.

It is impossible to tie your life to someone else!

He has already been in jail once and will not make the same mistake again in the future!

"Fourth brother."

"This is the long sword you asked me to make for you."

Just as Xu Xing was daydreaming, Kun Tianwang led his people to come from the northwest corner of the mountain stronghold. When he was about ten steps away from Xu Xing, he woke Xu Xing up and threw a sheathed long sword in his hand to Xu Xing.

"Thank you, third brother."

Xu Xing came to his senses and took the long sword with one hand.

He clamped the sheath under his ribs and took a look at the sword. He saw the sword light was sharp and sharp.

"Good sword!"

He praised casually.

There are many green forest heroes gathered in Siming Mountain Stronghold, including some blacksmiths. In Siming Mountain Stronghold, Kun Tianwang has more control over the Five Tigers Hall.

Therefore, Xu Xing asked Kun Tianwang to help him make a long sword for self-defense.

"Fourth brother, you said you are a scholar..."

"If you want to match it, it should be a gentleman's sword, but you got a long sword..."

Kun Tianwang was a little puzzled.

He thought Xu Xing had asked him to make a sword, but when he went to the blacksmith shop to get weapons, he found that what Xu Xing asked him to make was not a sword, but a long knife with a strange shape.

"Third brother, this is how pedantic you are."

"Who said... a scholar can't be a swordsman?"

Xu Xing put the long knife on his waist, holding the account book in his hand, and smiled.

The long knife he asked Kun Tianwang to make was none other than the Guanshan knife circulated in the Qin Province of the copy world. This long knife is similar to the Song Dynasty Pudao, but it lacks a long handle.

He doesn't know swordsmanship, but only the swordsmanship taught by Master Ma.

"Indeed..."

"No one stipulates that scholars can only be swordsmen."

Kun Tianwang slapped his head and thought to himself that he was confused.

Xu Xing, a scholar..., how can he be taken lightly? !
