In the yamen of Antler Pass…
"Count the number of abandoned fields and the number of people who don't have good fields to cultivate.”
Lin Changye said to the scholars below.
"Zhou Hou!"
Many scholars cupped their hands in response.
Lin Changye had specially recruited this group of scholars to assist in the restoration of production policies. It was indeed better to leave such matters to the scholars.
"Ta…Step..."
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded.
"Zhou Hou, the Recruitment Hall has recruited a great talent and is currently waiting outside the door.”
The guards of the General Manor came to report.
"Who is Dacai?"
Lin Changye asked with interest.
"I heard that his name is Fang Xuanling."
The soldier recalled and replied.
"So it's him."
Lin Changye suddenly woke up. After the soldier answered, he quickly walked toward the gate.
He did not have the time to put on his shoes. After all, he would only enter the study room of the mansion after taking off his shoes.
"Sou... Whoosh..."
Lin Changye hurried to the main entrance. When he arrived, he saw Zhangsun Wugou, who was wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat, waiting with a scholarly man.
"This is Fang Xuanling?"
Lin Changye's eyes lit up. In his previous memory, there was a saying called " Stop scheming in the bedroom."
This Fang Mou was referring to Fang Xuanling. Not only was he good at governing, but he was also very good at scheming.
Everything matched the characteristics of the talents that Lin Changye urgently needed.
"Ta…Step..."
Fang Xuanling also looked up when he heard the footsteps.
When he saw the rumored Zhou Hou walking over barefooted with a smile on his face, he was instantly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
"Zhou Hou must have heard the news of my arrival. He didn't even have the time to put on his shoes and directly came out to welcome me.”
Fang Xuanling concluded that this meant that Zhou Hou appreciated and understood his talent. This was not an act.
For a talented person like Fang Xuanling, meeting a lord who appreciated him was no different from meeting a confidant.
"I'm willing to die for someone I know."
Fang Xuanling had such thoughts in his mind, and his eyes became solemn.
"Greetings, Marquis Zhou!"
Fang Xuanling cupped his fists and bowed firmly, using his actions to prove his thoughts.
He already had the idea of joining the army, and now that he saw Zhou Hou being so polite, what was there to hesitate about?
After all, Zhou Hou valued talent. No matter what his background was, everything he saw and heard was perfect proof.
"There's no need to be so polite. Please come in, sir."
Lin Changye waved his hand with a smile on his face.
He didn't have the airs of Zhou Hou, and his words made people feel close to him. This made Fang Xuanling even more surprised.
" Initial mission completed."
Seeing Zhou Hou's expression, Zhangsun Wugou subconsciously smiled.
"Men, prepare some hot tea."
Lin Changye instructed as they entered the main hall of the General's Residence.
When Fang Xuanling sat down on the guest seat, a small official in the yamen placed hot tea on the table in front of him.
"Mister, how do you think I should govern Pingyuan County?”
Lin Changye asked as soon as he sat down.
"Zhou Hou, I believe that the policy of restoring productivity as soon as possible is correct. The policy Zhou Hou used is also suitable for the current situation.”
Fang Xuanling expressed his approval of Zhou's policy of resuming production.
"Sir, you praise me too much."
When Lin Changye heard this, his expression remained calm and he nodded with a faint smile.
"Other than the basic internal policies, I have other plans to offer to you.”
Fang Xuanling continued.
"Please speak, sir. I am willing to hear the details."
Lin Changye bent down slightly, ready to listen.
" Pingyuan Prefecture is located in the Jizhou region. It's backed by the Yellow River and is a fertile plain area. It's generally more suitable for farming..."
"It's just that there are no dangerous places other than Antler Pass. Our army needs to find another dangerous place to gain a foothold.”
Fang Xuanling immediately voiced his opinion.
"Otherwise, with the terrain of Pingyuan County, it will be surrounded by many factions for a long time.”
Fang Xuanling added.
"Sir is right."
Lin Changye frowned slightly. Fang Xuanling was right. Other than Lujiao Pass, there were no other dangerous places in Pingyuan County.
In other words, Pingyuan County was surrounded by enemies on three sides. One side was backed by the Yellow River, and the surrounding area was all flatland.
"Since you want to attack another dangerous place, what is your opinion?”
Lin Changye's thoughts flashed through his mind as he asked.
“………”
During the entire process, Zhangsun Wugou did not say anything and sat quietly at the side.
"The Li Pavilion in the east of Qinghe County is enough to resolve the dangers in the east of Pingyuan County. It's a good choice.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and paused.
"However, our current strength is relatively weak. Taking down Li Ting is equivalent to becoming enemies with the forces of Qinghe County.”
"Even if we annihilate them, we will suffer heavy losses. It is very likely that we will be attacked by the Sui army outside Qinghe County.”
Fang Xuanling continued.
"That's right, I've already considered this.”
Lin Changye nodded. Li Ting of Qinghe County had thought about it before, but as he said, it was not worth it to take him down now.
"Qinghe County is not desirable. If we attack Bohai County near the sea and obtain the northern pass as a barrier, our army's strength can be fully enhanced.”
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xuanling perfected his plan.
"Second, attack Bohai County.”
Lin Changye narrowed his eyes slightly. Bohai Prefecture was what they needed, and it could also develop the strength of the Zhou army. It was indeed the best choice at the moment.
This also showed Fang Xuanling's strategy. Not only did he have talent in governing, but he also had foresight.
"Alright, then we'll do as you say."
Lin Changye didn't hesitate too much. Since Fang Xuanling's suggestion was the best plan at the moment, and it was also in line with his previous plan, he naturally had to use it.
"Thank you, Zhou Hou!"
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment before cupping his hands in excitement.
The first time he had offered his advice, Zhou Hou had completely trusted him and was willing to use it. This trust was worth it.
"Sir, you don't have to be so polite. From today onwards, you will be my military advisor.”
Lin Changye gave his orders after confirming the next course of action.
"Thank you, Marquis Zhou."
Fang Xuanling thanked him again and left the hall with the soldiers.
"Wugou, well done."
After the other party left, Lin Changye's gaze fell on Zhangsun Wugou as he spoke slowly.
The girl Wugou had just been in charge of the recruitment hall and had directly recruited the talented Fang Xuanling. This matter had already proved her ability.
Lin Changye was someone who had transmigrated. Although he had some understanding of this woman, it was all one-sided.
His ability to see through people had indeed surprised him and deepened his impression of him.
"Since I am in charge of the Recruitment Hall, this is naturally what I should do.”
Zhangsun Wugou didn't have any extra reaction to Wugou's intimate address. It was unknown whether it was because he was shy or because he had tacitly agreed to it.
On the contrary, his expression was normal, and he subconsciously felt happy for Zhou Hou.
