Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 219 Ziqing, I’ll listen to you!

Returning to Dongping Prefecture, he went straight into the government office. The government office now belonged to Zong Ze, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, but Cheng Wanli still worked there.

After entering the door and passing through the hall and courtyard, he went straight to the main hall. The officials and servants of the government office had already stood up and shouted, "The scholar is back!"

Cheng Wanli and Zong Ze both came to the main hall from their respective classrooms.

The main hall was packed with people, all with happy faces. Even the General Manager's Office had received the news, and all the generals and guards were rushing over here...

There was no need to give any instructions, someone quickly went to Meng Niang's restaurant to book the table.

Su Wu bowed to everyone, greeted everyone, and everyone gathered together, talking all kinds of things, making the place lively.

A group of warriors who were obviously much taller than them entered the government office and greeted them immediately...

There were also many servants carrying chairs into the main hall. There were too many people and obviously not enough seats.

After the excitement had subsided, Su Wu and Cheng Wanli sat together at the front, with Zong Ze and others on the left, and Wu Song and Lu Da on the right, and they all sat down.

Only then did they start to speak formally. Cheng Wanli said first: "Ziqing has worked hard this time, and it can be said that he has returned home in glory. The people of Dongping Prefecture have also shown their faces in front of the world. Who in the world does not know the ability of Dongping Prefecture's civil and military talents? Haha..."

As soon as the words fell, everyone started talking, talking at once...

"That's right. Lord Su may not know this, but the last time, half a month ago, I went to Daming Prefecture on business. I was wondering how it was. When they heard that I was from Dongping Prefecture, everyone looked up to me and greeted me with a smile."

"That's right, nowadays, people coming from the south and going to the north are all on the river. All the outsiders who come to Dongping Prefecture praise that our Dongping Prefecture is special!"

"I've also heard that merchants in Dongping Prefecture nowadays, when they go out to do business, people from other places pay more attention to them!"

……

After everyone talked about this, Su Wu was also a little surprised. He had never thought much about it before and really didn't know that there would be so many spillover effects.

Maybe it is just like the King of Qin who unified the world. For more than two thousand years, the people of Qin still praise him.

It is like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period. Two thousand years later, anyone with the surname Zhuge is looked up to.

Today, the army of Dongping Prefecture is famous throughout the world and has made great military achievements. The people of Dongping Prefecture seem to have inexplicably gained a bit more glory and face.

Even in the local officialdom, there was a frontier official named Cheng Wanli, and then a third-rank scholar of the Privy Council. It seemed like the officials under Dongping Prefecture had a future that was not comparable to that of ordinary places. How could they not be valued more?

As for the merchants from Dongping Prefecture, they can just say that they have business with the direct scholars of the Privy Council and have dealings with the Jingdong Administration Commissioner, so it is not easy to bully them...

This is the hometown, this is the spillover effect brought about by the rise of the people in a place...

Even the people of Dongping Prefecture seem to have a different mental outlook...

Everyone was talking excitedly. Cheng Wanli slightly pressed his arm and said, "Everyone, now is the time for us to be united. I will not hide it from you. The court still needs to use troops. You just need to be united. When the time comes, many things...haha...no need to say more..."

Now, Cheng Wanli's words are extraordinary. Just look at the many officials around Cheng Wanli. Some of them were originally from the government office, but now they have become people from the Xuanfushisi office, and their ranks have been promoted at will.

As long as Cheng Wanli likes someone, it's just a matter of a transfer order. Many things are that simple. As long as Cheng Wanli is promoted step by step, those who really work around him will also be promoted step by step.

The same goes for the military officers in the general office of the two armies in Jingdong.

Who among those who can sit in this hall is not a promoted person?

This group seems to have a sense of cohesion and a spirit of vitality.

People are not afraid of working, but they are afraid that the work will be of no benefit. There are few people in the world who are really lazy. As long as they can really see the prospects, their own motivation is enough to make them very hardworking.

This is true for an organization and even more so for a country.

This is like saying that there is a general trend. The greater the trend, the more people within this trend will work hard and make progress.

Cheng Wanli's words are inspiring.

Su Wu also wanted to say a few words: "My fellow soldiers, the expansion of the army and the training of soldiers are urgent. I think everyone in the army is busy. I still need your help in recruiting soldiers, building military camps, and providing money, food and supplies. I would like to thank you all!"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Scholar? Today, our Dongping Prefecture is known for its military affairs and military achievements. Although we are civil officials, we can also benefit a lot from it. Don't worry, we just have to work hard, just for our Dongping Prefecture and Jingdong, we will work hard for a bright future!"

This was a very good statement, and the people around him also echoed it.

Su Wu, the direct scholar of the Privy Council, is really a shot of adrenaline, injecting it into everyone. When he thinks of the merits and victories, he adds one more stroke, and when he thinks of the promotions of Cheng Xianggong and Su Xianggong, he lowers his head and takes one more look...

Su Wu stood up and bowed to both sides, as if there was a saying that in China, the talents of a county can govern an entire country. If the atmosphere in Dongping Prefecture can be maintained like this, the talents of a prefecture will be more than enough to govern an entire country.

The government office was still bustling with activity...

Meng Niang's store also heard that Su Xianggong had returned, so they were very busy. Everyone was preparing. It was really because Su Xianggong didn't send anyone back to tell them in advance, even if it was just one day in advance. They didn't have to be so busy at this time, and they had to go to the street to ask people to deliver meat and vegetables...

Now, Mrs. Meng's belly is already visible. She is six or seven months pregnant and her face is fat. Everything is still stable. She comes and goes in the store with her big belly.

Mrs. Gu, who was busy following her, kept persuading her, "Mrs. Meng, please sit down... Don't rush yourself and cause any trouble. How can we bear the consequences?"

Madam Meng nodded, but she was still walking towards the kitchen. Mrs. Gu quickly chased after her, trying to stop her and saying, "Just sit down. I'm watching you from the front, and Dong Huan is watching you from the back. Nothing will happen..."

Madam Meng was naturally pulled aside to sit down, and she also said: "Those who come later are all high-ranking officials and generals of the court, so they must not be neglected..."

Of course, Dongping Prefecture has become powerful now. In the past, have there been any court officials or generals here?

Now, not only the ministers of the Privy Council have been here, but also the high officials from the frontier provinces are stationed here permanently, and there is also a direct scholar from the Privy Council.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not the first day we opened the shop. Everyone drinks like this. When the minister from the Privy Council came, didn't he drink like this? Hehe... I wonder when my man will become a general..."

Mrs. Gu has been smiling these past few days. Her husband is already a sixth-rank lieutenant commander, as is her brother-in-law. Even her cousins ​​Jie Zhen and Jie Bao are now sixth-rank officials. Even Le He, who followed Commander Yan, is now a seventh-rank official...

This family seems to have become a family of military generals.

Of course, she was concerned about her eldest sister-in-law's reputation, but she also envisioned that her husband, her brother-in-law, and even her cousin would return with the rank of general. What an honor that would be!
Money is secondary. Mr. Su is always willing to give it.

Although Mrs. Gu had a smile on her face, she suddenly noticed that Mrs. Meng beside her seemed to have some worries on her face, which flashed across her face.

Mrs. Gu asked immediately, "What's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Madam Meng smiled and shook her head: "I don't have anything to worry about..."

Mrs. Gu looked around and saw that no one was approaching. She said softly, "We have known each other for such a long time. How could I not know your personality? Don't worry... Our scholar husband is such a righteous man. He is so kind to men, and he is even more so to you... Are you afraid that he will look down on you now that he is in a high position? No, no, he will never..."

"No, I never thought so..." Madam Meng shook her head repeatedly.

Mrs. Gu didn't say much, but when she saw Dong Huan hurriedly passing by, she called out, "Dong Huan!"

"Hey!" Little girl Dong Huan's face turned red from being busy, and she also stopped.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Now that your master is back, you can turn into a phoenix!"

"Ah?" Dong Huan was stunned, not knowing what it meant.

Su Wu was a lonely man, and Dong Huan was the only member of Su Wu's family, although he was a bought servant.

Dong Huan finally reacted and said, "I... I'm busy..."

As he said this, he ran out to take the newly delivered meat.

Madam Meng laughed and said, "Why did the elder sister-in-law tease her like this..."

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I'm not teasing him. I'm just showing you that people don't need to think too much. Just do your own thing. That way, you'll feel at peace..."

"Yes!" Meng Yulou nodded and said, "That's what I think..."

Mrs. Gu didn't say much. As if she suddenly remembered something, she asked, "What rank is Li Cheng from Dong Huan's family now? I forgot to ask Dong Huan before..."

Dong Huan married Li Cheng. Li Cheng actually did not directly participate in the battle this time. Instead, he escorted several million strings of money to the Liangshanpo stronghold in Suzhou. Before Su Wu returned, he dared not leave the stronghold for a moment. He guarded the money that Su Wu got from Zhu Zhen every day.

However, Dong Huan went to Shuizhai to see Li Cheng several times.

As long as Su Wu came back, Li Cheng could be liberated from Liangshan Fort.

Meng Yulou replied: "Li Cheng is also a sixth-rank official this time."

"Oh, you are so young, but you have a bright future. Unlike my family, we are getting older and older..." Mrs. Gu was talking about the gossips of women.

Nowadays, in Dongping Prefecture, countless families are discussing this topic: what merits this family has made, how much reward money they have received, and who in that family has been promoted to become a captain...

This was even more so on Dulonggang. Although there was the family in mourning, the reward money they brought back was quite generous. It was even heard that the scholar would give more rewards after his return.

There are even rumors that if a son loses his father, the scholar will send him to school for free...

I don't know if it's true or not... Anyway, that's what the rumor is...

As for other families, not only did they make a lot of money, but many of them were also promoted to higher positions. Zhu Longhucheng and others were firmly rank sixth-rank captains, and if they were promoted again in the future, they would become generals.

During the two days of rest, the soldiers rode back home one by one, looking very majestic. The things they bought at home filled up the hall. No one bought less, and they even competed to buy. There were all kinds of cloth, fine wine, meat, gold and silver jewelry...

The tea you drink and the bowls you use should all be brand new.

Even their speech was different. The soldier who had just returned from vacation just sat down at home and looked around before he started talking: "Mr. Su and I were in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is huge. There are city walls as far as the eye can see. The buildings in the city are also tall. There were so many thieves, millions of them, and the killing was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood..."

Who are those around me? My parents, my neighbors, my brothers and sisters, the kids next door...

Everyone was excited to hear this...

Just keep talking: "No matter whether they are high-ranking or low-ranking officials, whether they are husbands or generals, they are all polite and well-mannered when they see my husband Su. They are from Huzhou, and the city of Huzhou is big. The lake in Huzhou is as wide as the sea. The people of Huzhou are the best. They send us food and drinks, and even move their furniture to use as firewood for us... It's cold, that place is cold..."

"Huzhou is also prosperous. The areas of Jiangnan and Liangzhe are really incomparable to ours. The food and daily necessities there are just good, inexplicably good..."

"I've been riding my horse into the city. The girls there are pretty, too, prettier than ours..."

But then I heard my mother say, "Why don't you bring one back? I heard someone brought a girl back there to get married..."

"Mother, I know who you are talking about. It's Fan Yun, Fan Dutou. Sigh... I was so stupid. I didn't think about these things at the time. It's too late to regret now..."

The young man stood up after talking for a while. "Here, mother, this is for you. I bought it in Huzhou. It's called Suzhou embroidery... I don't understand it either, but it's beautiful and precious! Mother will make a small piece of clothing for you."

"Father, come here. We have the best wine from Madam Meng's house, Meng Louchun. It's very valuable. We need several jars. But please don't entertain anyone. Just stay at home and enjoy it by yourself..."

"Little sister, this is for you. What do you think it is? It's jade from Liaodong. It's aquamarine. If you put a hairpin like this on your head, no one can match your dignity..."

The men were distributing the food left and right, and they also stuffed the candy into the children's arms.

The old mother smiled, but she also said: "You should save as much as possible... You haven't married yet..."

"Yes, I have money. Mother doesn't know how much I have earned! I'll tell you tonight... let's get married, no problem..." "If we have money, we can buy a house and land. Don't spend it like this..."

"Yes, I know..."

The man turned around and looked at the young man at home: "Second brother, I bought you a knife, the best waist knife, but it is not forged yet. There are too many orders in the blacksmith shop, so you have to wait a few days..."

"Ah? Me? Thank you, brother!" The young man was disappointed just now, but now he was immediately very happy.

"You're not young anymore, sixteen?" the brother asked.

"Seventeen is not far away..." the young man answered.

The elder brother patted his younger brother on the shoulder and asked, "How about going with me to Dongping Prefecture? My husband needs more soldiers, and there will be no more of them after this village. He needs a lot this time, and he may not need more in the future. Do you want to go?"

"I, I..." The young man's face was excited, but he turned to look at his parents first.

The mother was about to cry. The eldest son came back, but she had no idea that she had been crying every day for the past few months. She couldn't stop crying when she thought of her eldest son...

But the mother did not speak, and the father spoke instead: "It's good to go, your brother will take care of you, so there is nothing to worry about..."

"Then I'll go..." The young man nodded.

The elder brother said, "Okay, it's settled. You will come back to the city with me in two days, and I will take you to Zhu Yuhou to register."

Someone in the hall said, "I'm going too, I'm going too..."

The man turned around and said, "You, go away. Your hair hasn't even grown out yet. Wait a few years."

The teen-year-old child choked up and said, "Didn't you say that Mr. Su would no longer be a soldier? How can I go in a few years?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? There are people in the army who are old and need more people, right?"

"How long will it take?"

"Get lost and go home to eat..."

……

In the front hall of the government office, many civil and military officials gathered together. After some conversation, they set out to sit at Meng Niang’s restaurant...

Behind the government office, in the boudoir, there were also maids and servants who frequently went back and forth to the front hall to eavesdrop. One would listen to a few words and then come back to report, and the other would listen to a few words and then come back to report, taking turns to listen and report.

Cheng Xiaoniang was also very happy: "They say he didn't lose weight, but looked stronger, and they say he looked more majestic... I don't know what it is, I can't see it..."

Hu Sanniang, her best friend, said, "Now that you have passed the exam, if you want to meet, that's fine..."

"I don't know how long he will be busy, but it's more important for him to be busy with business." Cheng Xiaoniang said so with anticipation on her face.

Hu Sanniang was really smiling. She hadn't seen anyone yet, so she said, "I'll see you when I'm almost done with my work and have some free time."

But Cheng Xiaoniang's face suddenly changed: "Humph, my brother sent a letter from Beijing, saying that he has a new house, and he keeps a group of women in the house, who were brought back from the pleasure boats on West Lake..."

Hu Sanniang also laughed. She actually knew about this. Her brother Hu Cheng had said it, and Zhu Long had also said it. She just laughed and said, "That was sent by the Privy Councilor. It's not easy to refuse..."

"Even you know about it. I'm afraid everyone in the army knows about it. My father must know about it too. He is living a carefree life by raising so many of them..."

Cheng Xiaoniang was really angry, but she couldn't blame her. It was mainly because her brother was a big mouth. He was used to seeing the things going on in the wealthy families in Tokyo, so he just kept telling his sister about it. The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. He wanted his sister, as the head of the family, to stand up...

In fact, Cheng Xiaoniang had not seen many despicable things. She just thought her brother was scaring her, so how could she not think too much?

But Hu Sanniang shook her head: "Su... my husband is not that kind of person..."

"Alas... there is something interesting in the book. I regret having asked my husband to seek a title, but that's all. But when I think about it, maybe it's just a woman's opinion. It's difficult for a man to do something. I'll just wait and see..."

Cheng Xiaoniang is really not an ordinary person. She can think of coming back on her own.

"You have all passed the exams, but you still think so much..." Hu Sanniang said this with a faint smile.

Cheng Xiaoniang continued, "My father also said that it's not easy to be the mistress of a wealthy family. I don't know how to be one either... Alas... I'm worried. It's not about these women's things. When I really go to the capital, there will be so many dignitaries coming and going in Bianjing City. I'm also panicking..."

"Don't you know that I have to take care of all the affairs at home and outside? I even have to interact with the mistresses and daughters of the rich and powerful. Even when His Majesty is in power, I have to go to the palace to see... the Queen, the Emperor... I..."

As she spoke, Cheng Xiaoniang became more and more worried. How could she have really seen all this? How could she really be from a wealthy family in Tokyo?

If Hu Sanniang really put herself in the shoes of the emperor, she could not help but feel that it was a mess. There were the prime minister's wife, the marquis' wife, the duke's wife, the wives of the royal relatives... and now there was also a queen?

Just thinking of that scene, Hu Sanniang felt as if the seat under her butt had thorns on it, making her feel very uncomfortable!

Hurry up and think back. Don't think like that. It's Cheng Xiaoniang's suffering...

"Oh... just learn slowly..." Hu Sanniang's words were considered as comfort.

"I have to learn, but I'm afraid I'll be laughed at..." Isn't Cheng Xiaoniang really on pins and needles? But she couldn't think about it. Now everyone said that Su Wu was favored by the emperor, so she had to think about these things.

She is already a third-rank official. Once she gets married, she will be the wife of a third-rank official. She will definitely make the capital her home in the future...

Hu Sanniang didn't know what to say anymore, so she just said, "Don't think too much about it for now. Just think about it. The wedding date hasn't been decided yet, and I don't know how Mr. Cheng will handle it..."

"Then just listen to your father..." said Cheng Xiaoniang.

"I don't know... when he will have time..." Hu Sanniang also said so.

In Meng Niang's inn, dozens of civil and military officials were entering one after another. Cheng Wanli and Su Wu walked in front, but when they entered the door, they did not see Meng Yulou. It seemed that Meng Yulou had avoided it first.

Su Wu looked around but still couldn't find it, so he just waited for Mrs. Gu to come and make arrangements with a smile.

The conversation was lively, and they also talked about business, such as the expansion of the military camp outside the city, how to expand it, and what land to buy...

What are the recent prices in the city? Have food and other commodities skyrocketed? How can we stabilize the prices?

Which merchants in Dongping Prefecture are more useful, and what should I buy...

What are the situations in the two routes of Jingdong? We also need to reorganize the number of soldiers in each prefecture and county, and how to place the prisoners who were transported in by boat...

And the most important thing is, the mining in various places, many things are complementary to each other, some of the laid-off guards in various places will be used as auxiliary soldiers, and some will be organized into a mining force, that is, to guard the prisoners and the soldiers who are engaged in mining. This arrangement... also gives them good treatment to maintain the security of various places in Jingdong...

The two routes of Jingdong should be managed as a big chess game, with the Xuanfushisi Yamen as the main focus, which is Cheng Wanli's Yamen.

Now, Cheng Wanli's official title has changed slightly. In the past, he was the Envoy of Pacification and Recruiting, but now he is the Envoy of Propaganda and Pacification.

There are some more important tasks that need to be discussed privately between Su Wu and Cheng Wanli.

That is a major change in the official circles of JD.com. Some people have to leave and some people have to be recruited.

After the banquet, all the civil and military officials went back home, and Su Wu saw Cheng Wanli off back to the yamen.

It was still the small study in the back court, the two of them sat opposite each other and talked slowly.

Su Wu spoke directly about this topic: "Now, there are 18 prefectures in the two routes of Jingdong. I think you are familiar with the prefects in various places. You should decide which ones to replace and replace them one by one slowly..."

Cheng Wanli was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is this what the Prime Minister intended?"

Su Wu shook his head: "It's not the Prime Minister's intention, but something I want to decide?"

"Ah?" Cheng Wanli was shocked. What was he shocked about?
What is shocking is how Su Wu dared to plan such a big thing. Eighteen prefectures and eighteen powerful people of the fifth and fifth ranks, this... is this something Su Wu can plan?

Cheng Wanli asked, "If the Prime Minister has no such intention, how can we do this?"

Su Wu looked at his father-in-law. This father-in-law was actually... an honest man. Even though he was a high-ranking official, he was still very cautious...

Su Wu just said: "My lord, now you and I... are not the same as before. If you are promoted again, where can you be promoted? If I am promoted again, where can I be promoted? You and I should plan for the overall situation now, and plan for a place for you and me in the court in the future..."

Cheng Wanli wiped his forehead and said, "I know, I know... But how can you and I accomplish this easily? You and I have never had such ability..."

"My husband, you need to change your mindset. You and I are both important officials in the court now, and we will be giants in the court in the future. We must rely on ourselves in everything, and have our own means and abilities. Only in this way can we really sit firmly. You will have countless disciples in the future, and I will also have soldiers and supporters under my command in the future. Only in this way can we go far and long... My husband is no longer the small official he used to be... How can he still rely on the prime minister for everything? You should take the initiative to share the prime minister's worries... Otherwise, why would the prime minister promote you?"

Su Wu's words were straightforward to the end, and there was no need to say any witty remarks between him and his father-in-law. This father-in-law still needed support, otherwise there would be no progress!
Cheng Wanli nodded, but still wiped his forehead: "I understand the truth, I understand it all, but when I heard you say it, I felt panic inexplicably. This kind of thing, no matter how much I think about it, I really can't do it..."

Su Wu smiled and said, "It can be done. It's not difficult. Now is the time when the Prime Minister and the current Prime Minister Wang are close. We should take this opportunity to do it. In the past, although you were not familiar with Prime Minister Wang, it is different now. Just send people to the capital, to the homes of Prime Minister Wang and Liang Taiwei, and send them generous gifts and pay a formal visit. They will not refuse and will also exchange letters with you... Just talk to them... Then, try another one first, let's change Qingzhou Murong Yanda first..."

Cheng Wanli looked at his son-in-law. This trip to the capital was not in vain. These logics made perfect sense to him. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's really feasible. Then who should we replace Qingzhou with?"

"Just transfer Murong Yanda from Qingzhou to the Secretariat or the Ministry of Personnel, and replace him with... someone from the Zhao family." Su Wu replied.

"Which Zhao family?" It's not that Cheng Wanli didn't expect it, but Cheng Wanli really didn't know who Su Wu was interacting with now.

Su Wu just said: "Zhao Mingcheng's family, Zhao Mingcheng's elder brother Zhao Cuncheng, now seems to be the secretary of the capital. They are originally from Shandong. If they return to Shandong to serve as officials, many things will be easy to handle. The Zhao family is now in decline, and they are not given important positions..."

Su Wu chose Zhao Mingcheng's brother for three reasons. First, they were a prominent family in Shandong, and their influence was unmatched by others. They could be of great help to Su Wu in integrating the prominent families in Shandong, and even the Zhao family could take the lead.

Secondly, Su Wu now has a close relationship with the Zhao family, and even has a close friendship with Li Qingzhao. The Wang family, the Li family, and the Zhao family are all on the road to decline, but they are the most orthodox aristocratic class, and they need a collaborator like Su Wu.

Su Wu's car is waiting for people to get on it. Once they get on it and their interests are bound together, it will be difficult to get off.

Third, whether it was Zhao Cuncheng or Zhao Sicheng, no matter what, they had never colluded with the enemy or abandoned the city in history.

Even in history, Zhao Cuncheng served as the Pacifier of Guangdong several years later. At that time, the imperial court was powerless, bandits were rampant in Lingnan, and even big thieves emerged. He was the commander-in-chief in Guangdong, and the bandits once numbered as many as 100,000. He withstood the pressure.

Don't underestimate this point. The bandits at that time were very powerful. Among them was a fierce general named Yang Zaixing. He plundered the Lingnan area and had no rivals.

It is no joke that Zhao Cuncheng could withstand such pressure. Even though Yue Fei later led his troops to fight against Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei was defeated repeatedly. Han Shunfu, a brave man under Yue Fei, was seriously injured and died at the hands of Yang Zaixing. Even Yue Fei's younger brother Yue Fan was killed by Yang Zaixing on the battlefield.

Of course, Yang Zaixing was defeated in the end, but Yue Fei did not kill him. From then on, Yang Zaixing became the bravest warrior under Yue Fei. He killed the Jin people as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. Even his death in the battle was a very heroic scene and he was extremely ferocious.

Therefore, from any perspective, it was an excellent choice for Su Wu to use Zhao Cuncheng at this time.

First, bring Zhao Cuncheng to Qingzhou to be the prefect. Even if Su Wu has never met him, just get him here first. It will definitely not go wrong.

Cheng Wanli didn't know what Su Wu was thinking. He just nodded when Su Wu spoke and said, "Then I'll try to communicate with Prime Minister Wang and General Liang first..."

Su Wu nodded: "Let my husband take the lead, and I will be the assistant. Let's send someone to deliver gifts and letters together!"

Cheng Wanli asked again: "Are we really going to do this privately?"

This father-in-law was really pushing him, even taking the initiative to arrange work. Su Wu just said seriously: "Husband, just listen to me, it will be right. This is a long-term plan, and it is the future of our family! If you really want to stay in a high position, how can you not manage it slowly?"

Cheng Wanli nodded and said, "Ziqing, then... then... I'll listen to you!"

(Brothers, the plot has entered a new stage. I will try harder and harder!)
