My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Ning Daniu saw that Ning Changrong had finished eating and did not move any further.

He put down his bowls and chopsticks and continued to protect Changrong from behind.

Zheng Zhengguang asked tentatively: "I wonder what Mr. Ning wants to talk about?"

Ning Changrong smiled and said: "Didn't you send me an invitation and invite me to come and talk in detail? I just thought that you three would be invited together anyway, and I am busy with business and can't be distracted, so I simply invited everyone together. If I have something to do, Just said it all together.”

He paused for a moment and continued to speak in a nonchalant manner: "Shouldn't I ask you what you want to talk about?"

He neatly folded the handkerchief he was using to wipe his mouth and put it back.

The three families looked at each other. They were a little unsure whether Ning Changrong was doing this on purpose or if he was really dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out what they wanted to do.

Didn't they invite Ning Changrong privately to ask him about Chang Yuan's situation, and then spend money to get Ning Changrong to reveal more things?Now that the other party has said it so blatantly, how can they use these little tricks?
The three family members laughed a little awkwardly, but after all, they were old fritters and very thick-skinned, so they quickly covered it up.

"Mr. Ning was joking. The three of us are new to this place and are not familiar with it. We heard many people in the city mentioning Mr. Ning, so we wanted to pay him a visit and experience it," said the head of the Li family.

"Really? Since everyone has seen each other, eaten, and talked a lot, why don't we let them go?" Ning Changrong asked innocently.

The three families were choked by his sincerity.

They finally realized that this person did it on purpose.

Zheng Zhengguang couldn't bear his temper and simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly.

"Mr. Ning is really interesting. In this case, we won't hide it anymore. The Zheng family wants to cooperate with General Chang, and would like to ask Mr. Ning to help introduce him. Of course, if it succeeds, the Zheng family will not treat Mr. Ning badly. .”

Chang Yuan lived in the army most of the time, and it was difficult for others to see him. Only Ning Changrong and Bai Yunliang were more convenient. But Bai Yunliang lived in Taizhou Prefecture and kept running to Yuzhou. They The only way to see Chang Yuan is through Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong's eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't understand why they could cooperate with these aristocratic families.

If he remembered correctly, the documents on his desk recorded that many people from these aristocratic families were serving as officials in Nanchen. Although Nanchen has been split into three forces, the country has not yet been destroyed. These people have already Have you started looking for your next one?
"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate? We are not short of money, weapons, and food." The new grain has been put into the warehouse. As long as we continue to plant, there will only be more and more food in the future, not to mention that there is also a shortage of food in Yuzhou City. A lot of food has been brought back, and the total is enough to feed millions of people for a year. As long as the home front is guarded, there will be no more food crisis.

"We have inquired before coming here. General Chang is indeed not short of money, weapons and food." Otherwise, he would not feed a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, even beggars.

Zheng Zhengguang looked determined, "But you lack one thing, people."

Ning Changrong asked: "Human?"

Zheng Zhengguang said proudly: "Yes, you are short of people. The more territory you acquire, the harder it will be to manage. Although Mr. Ning is talented, he can't take care of too much, right? You can't divide it into several people, and the north is so barren. , I don’t know whether it’s in terms of wealth or spirituality, there are very few scholars here, and even if there are, they are far inferior to us southern scholars.”

He paused and then said: "Can General Chang's territory still be managed for the time being? I'm afraid it's already a little stretched, right? Our Zheng family can provide a large number of scholars to help him manage the place. In this way, General Chang can only use Just focus on gaining ground and don’t worry about the management at the rear.”

After Zheng Zhongguang finished speaking, the Li family and the Wang family also said that they could also recruit people from within their families. There were many scholars who relied on them, and they had as many management talents as they wanted.

Ning Changrong was silent for a moment without speaking.

After a long while, "I can't do anything about this, please allow me to go back and report." "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Ning. I'll wait for the good news." The three families wanted to ask Ning Changrong for some other information, but they were afraid that the other two families wouldn't be able to do so. Don't let this go.

……

"So, this is the reason why the three of them came?" Chang Yuan had many guesses about this, but he didn't expect that the other party actually had this idea.

"That's right, looking at them, they seem to have convinced us." Ning Changrong was a little amused when he thought of the determined looks of those people.

If the cadre school has not started training, there is no chance that they will really be held by the opponent.

But for now, as long as they continue to wait, there will be a steady stream of grassroots management to use, and the loyalty of those people is beyond doubt.

"General, do you want to see them?"

Chang Yuan nodded, "Let's hear what they have to say." Although the cadre school has begun to be established, it will not be available immediately.

Ning Changrong didn't say much. After he retired, he sent invitations to the three families in the name of the General's Mansion.

After returning home, the family waited for two days without receiving any news. They were a little anxious and wanted to ask Ning Changrong when they received an invitation from the General's Mansion.

The three families went to the banquet at the same time, and the crowd was the same as last time.

Chang Yuan very politely invited people to sit down at the banquet.

"Thank you for coming all the way." Chang Yuan said politely.

The three families sat down somewhat reservedly, different from the previous look where they were anxious to find Ning Changrong.

After they wanted to come, Ning Changrong spread the news that they wanted to cooperate with Chang Yuan, and Chang Yuan sent someone to invite them. Naturally, he valued the scholars behind them.

In fact, they were not sure whether Chang Yuan was short of people, or to what extent, but since Chang Yuan took the initiative to invite them, it proved that what they said was definitely correct.

If they think about it, Chang Yuan will take the initiative to invite them to cooperate, instead of them rushing to send talents to Chang Yuan.

"General, you're welcome." Zheng Zhengguang said hypocritically.

Although the three families are all aristocratic families, the Zheng family is the strongest. The other two families will give Zheng Zhengguang some face. Naturally, the one who talks the most during the dinner is Zheng Zhengguang.

"Mr. Ning told me before that you want to cooperate with Chang. Can you elaborate on the specific method of cooperation?"

Chang Yuan was used to the straightforward way of talking to Ning Changrong.

But he started talking so directly, which made the three families feel that they had figured out Chang Yuan's shortcomings, and thought that Chang Yuan was in short supply of scholars now.

"Well, of course it's possible. I came here to discuss this matter. I heard that General Chang fought bravely and won many battles. Everyone in the Zheng clan, young and old, admires General Chang very much."
