My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 289
Ning Changrong frowned, "That's not okay. If things continue like this, my body will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Otherwise, mother, how many servants shall we invite?"

Wang Xiujuan has also thought about this, but she is worried about the negative impact, "Wouldn't this be bad?"

Ning Changrong immediately knew what Wang Xiujuan was worried about, "What are you thinking about? Mother, this is not modern. Besides, what can be wrong with us being just a few servants? After all, this can be regarded as creating jobs and adding more jobs to the people. Where’s the income?”

If the two sisters-in-law are too busy in the short term, Wang Xiujuan can still help with some housework at home, but if Wang Xiujuan gets busy there, no one will be in charge of the house.

"How about you go and see if anyone is willing to work at our house." Wang Xiujuan compromised.You can't use housework to hold people back from making money.

Ning Changrong nodded in agreement, this matter was settled.

"By the way, I saw you were so tired yesterday that I didn't have time to ask. Why did you come back suddenly? Have you finished dealing with the matter over there?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

Ning Qingxi also pricked up her ears to listen.

The last time Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi went to see Ning Changrong, they relieved Ning Changrong's homesickness, but after the two left, the longing in his heart surged like waves.

First, he thanked Bai Yunliang and then worked overtime and started to work. He kept making plans and used tricks to win over some scholars to help him work. He took Lao Jiang with him every day, just to train Lao Jiang to succeed him as soon as possible so that he could escape and come back.

Although Lao Jiang is a veteran, he has experience as an official and is not ignorant of local governance. After understanding Chang Yuan's rules, and with Ning Changrong leading him, it didn't take long for him to be able to handle local affairs independently.

Ning Changrong also thought of cultivating Lao Jiang because he saw that although the other party was naughty, he also had his own bottom line.

Those young scholars who were imprisoned by him, and then beaten a few times and then released back, what they saw and heard after they returned were completely different from what they had heard before. Everyone praised Chang Thief and his group. He scolded them, the so-called righteous scholars, and cursed the mentors they thought were highly respected in the past.

The ashamed scholars were stimulated by Ning Changrong a few more times, thinking that they mistakenly trusted the thief. Some scholars and scholars who had justice and perseverance in their hearts, and those who wanted to truly do things for the people were stimulated by Ning Changrong to work. .

Although this group of scholars are not very smart and can easily be used as guns, they are still practical and can be used better than ordinary people.

The joining of this group of people speeded up Ning Changrong's return home.

Ning Changrong then continued to delegate power, and after observing for a few days to confirm that Lao Jiang was fine, he packed up his luggage and rushed back to Taixi County with Ning Daniu and Ning Laoer.

After he came back, he reported his work to Chang Yuan immediately. Chang Yuan saw that his face was dusty and he was grateful for Ning Changrong's efforts. After rewarding him, Chang Yuan asked him to go home quickly.

Ning Changrong deliberately dressed in rags and went to Chang Yuan to report his work with a tired face, so that the other party could know how hard he worked!Remember him more!

As for Bai Yunliang, the other party has to stay for a few days.

Ning Changrong explained these things in detail.

"Dad, will you continue to work here from now on?" Ning Qingxi asked.

"If nothing else happens, it should be. I probably won't be going out in a short time." Ning Changrong glanced outside the door, confirmed that no one was around, and whispered: "It won't be long before General Chang goes south. "

Ning Qingxi's grandfather and grandson were shocked when they heard this. They were in Taixi County every day, and they didn't hear that they were going to go to war.

"Father, didn't you just come back from the news you heard?" "Didn't he tell General Chang when you went to report on your duties?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

Ning Changrong shook his head, "You two are at home every day, so you may not hear much news from the outside. The news of the old emperor's death has spread in Jinzhou."

"What? The old emperor is dead? When did he die?" Ning Qingxi said in surprise.

Afterwards, there was joy, and the world has become such a disintegrated scene, isn't it all the handwriting of the old emperor?
Ning Changrong received the news he got one by one.

It turned out that the three princes rebelled half a month ago and took advantage of the chaos to kill the old emperor. Now civil strife has broken out in the south. Several princes took the opportunity to separate themselves and proclaimed themselves emperor.

After the third prince rebelled, he was the first to proclaim himself emperor. He occupied the imperial city. The civil and military officials also had different ideas, but most people chose to support the third prince.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince were dissatisfied and took advantage of the chaos to escape. Now Nanchen has been divided into three.

The three princes each occupy a territory, but the third prince is the most powerful.

As for the other princes and princesses, they all died in the war.

Now that the three princes are emperors, they are fighting fiercely, Ning Changrong thought, with Chang Yuan's heart, it is impossible not to take a bite.

After listening to Ning Changrong's analysis, Ning Qingxi nodded in agreement.

"It seems that what you said, dad, must be right. If there is a fight, where will General Chang attack first? The one closest to us should be the third prince's territory, right?"

"If I'm not wrong, General Chang will ask us to discuss the battle plan soon. I don't know exactly where we will fight, but Yuzhou is more likely."

Yuzhou is located between Xuzhou and Taizhou Prefecture. Xuzhou is the territory of the rebellious governor Liu Jianxing. If Chang Yuan and Liu Jianxing join forces, they can swallow up Yuzhou.

Ning Changrong guessed right, a few days later Chang Yuan sent someone to notify him to attend the meeting.

The main content of the meeting was precisely the war.

How could Chang Yuan miss such a rare opportunity to take a bite out of Nan Chen?
Even Bai Yunliang, who was far away in Jinzhou, rushed over to attend the meeting.

In the past, Chang Yuan's battles with the imperial soldiers and horses were usually defensive battles. Even in siege battles, they usually used methods with relatively low losses and rarely attacked hard.

The purpose is to achieve the maximum result with the minimum number of wounded.

To this end, he will formulate several sets of combat strategies before each battle.

"General, if you want me to say that we don't need to join hands with Liu Jianxing, we can swallow the territory of Yuzhou by ourselves."

"That's right, we can take it ourselves, why should we give Liu Jianxing a piece of land in vain? We don't know them very well. If during the war, they secretly hide behind and take advantage of it, and let us take the lead, then we Aren’t you at a disadvantage?”

Bai Yunliang put forward a different opinion, "No, general, if we send troops alone and do not cooperate with Liu Jianxing, there is no guarantee that Liu Jianxin will not take the opportunity to make small moves. After all, half of Yuzhou's territory is still next to them. If we take Yuzhou, use Yuzhou as the boundary It will lead directly to Xuzhou, and I think Liu Jianxing will have trouble sleeping and eating."

It's not that Bai Yunliang is arrogant, but it's the fact that if it were the imperial army and horses next to him, Liu Jianxing would not be afraid at all, but if it were Chang Yuan, would Liu Jianxing still be able to sleep?
