The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"What do you mean by dreaming? I didn't dream? What happened?" Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.

Isn't it just Su Dingfang?

No matter how powerful Su Dingfang was, when he was under Liu Heita's command, he was defeated by the Tang army and had to return home to recuperate?

Su Dingfang's leadership of the troops was indeed of a certain level, but compared with several top generals in the court, there was still a gap, especially compared with His Majesty, he was not as good as him.

However, Su Dingfang was still young and had plenty of time to improve in the future.

But isn't Your Majesty also young?

"Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent to put a general like Su Dingfang in my farm?" Li Fu asked curiously, "Why did you decide to make him my deputy?"

"Su Dingfang is a bit capable, but he was once Dou Jiande's subordinate. After Dou Jiande's death, Liu Heita fought against the Tang Dynasty under the banner of revenge for Dou Jiande. Su Dingfang caused a lot of trouble for the Tang Dynasty under Liu Heita's command." Cheng Yaojin said, "If Su Dingfang is directly used now, there will be objections in the court at this juncture."

"Think about it, the court has laid off 600 people this year. Many officials, and then arrange a subordinate of a former mortal enemy to be an official, is it reasonable? Even if Su Dingfang has talent, it is not arranged just like that. "

"It just so happens that there is such an opportunity now, let him stay in your manor first. If this Su Dingfang has great ability, I estimate that he will not stay in your manor for long, and he will definitely be promoted. Once there is a war to be fought, he still has a great chance. "

"This is a talent, Huairen, you have to take good care of him when he comes to you."

Cheng Yaojin smiled and admonished Li Fu.

Everyone knows that Su Dingfang will not stay in the manor as Li Fu's deputy all the time.

"That's right, that's right." Li Fu smiled and responded.

Soon, the kitchen staff brought the clay stove, and the charcoal fire was burning vigorously. The people in the room opened the window on the kang a little.

Then a maid came in with a food box, which contained plates of cut meat and brought it to the table.

There were also dipping sauces prepared in the kitchen, which were placed in front of the two people.

Bamboo tubes and tongs were placed on the edge of the kang.

Not long after, another servant came to deliver warm wine and placed it on the table.

Only Xiaotao was left in the room to serve, and the others all left.

Xiaotao stepped forward, picked up the tongs, and placed the meat in the plate on the baking tray of the clay oven.

"Oh? This thing is novel." Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "I have eaten roasted meat, but this roasted meat thing in your house is the first time I have seen it."

"I didn't expect you to come." Li Fu said, "Originally, I planned to eat and drink in the house by myself. Even if I drank, I would just fall asleep on my own kang, which is very relaxing."

"You are someone who knows how to enjoy yourself." Cheng Yaojin praised.

"Well, that's the case. If you drink too much today, it's okay. I'll have someone carry you to the guest room. You can treat it as your own home." Li Fu laughed.

"Hahaha, Huairen, I like what you said. Come, eat meat and drink wine!" Cheng Yaojin's heroic spirit also came up.

It must be said that the man recommended by Cheng Yaojin really surprised and delighted Li Fu.

That's a famous general, Su Dingfang.

He was sent to his hands by Cheng Yaojin.

He didn't need to worry about these thousand people at all. Su Dingfang had made clear arrangements.

It's nothing more than supplying food and military pay to the farm.

Is the farm short of these two things?

No.

The granary is full. If people in Chang'an carry grain to exchange for wine, there will be no place to put the grain. They have to wait until it accumulates to a certain level and then send it to Li Erfeng for confiscation.

Four granaries are still not enough.

But if there are too many of these things, he dare not build them.

It's about making money and storing grain, and now there are a thousand soldiers.

Will the Censorate have something to say?

Li Fu is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid of the gossip of the people in the Censorate.

They are all upright and stubborn. If you say they are bad people, they are not. They are just stubborn and dedicated to justice.

If you say they are good people, they are not. Before the matter is clear, they will report it first. No matter whether the matter is right or not, they have fulfilled their duty of reporting.

How was Xiao Yu falsely accused and dismissed from office?

They also contributed to this.

Li Fu and Cheng Yaojin were on the kang, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and chatting about Su Dingfang.

Li Fu only knew Su Dingfang, and knew that he was good at leading troops in battle, but he knew nothing about other things.

Cheng Yaojin was different. He also ledThose who fight with soldiers must have a certain understanding of their original opponents.

"If Su Dingfang leaves in the future, won't we have to find someone to lead the team again?" Li Fu asked with a smile: "So, during the period when Su Dingfang leads the team, we still have to find someone and train him well. When Su Dingfang leaves here and enters the court in the future, we can also take over the affairs he left behind. You can't expect me to lead it myself, right?"

Li Fu has come to this point today. It is definitely not possible to do everything by himself.

As the saying goes, if you can't lead a team, you can only work until you die.

You are already a prince, do you still have to do things yourself? Isn't it a matter of a few words to give instructions, and others will do things for him?

"Then it's up to you to decide who to train." Cheng Yaojin took a bite of meat and stuffed a piece of garlic into his mouth: "Since Su Dingfang is going to be sent to you, he will take whoever you ask him to take. But the same thing, this person is capable, so if you want him to be convinced by you, you have to show your ability to make him convinced, so that he can work for you obediently. You know, everyone in the army has a similar temper in some aspects."

Li Fu nodded slightly.

He knew that people with ability have a little temper. As long as the temper is right, they will definitely be willing to work hard for you.

I'm not afraid of people with temper, I'm afraid of people who have no ability and still have temper.

"Well, then we still have to find a deputy, and we can choose from the one thousand people." Li Fu smiled.

Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Xiao Tao put the roasted meat on the plates in front of the two people.

"Wait a couple of days, I'll ask the people in the mansion to send some beef over." Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "I think that stuff tastes better than pork."

"Things are precious because they are rare." Li Fu smiled and said, "Each has its own merits."

Beef is a rare thing. Among all the nobles in the city, the only one whose cattle always have accidents all year round is Cheng Yaojin, a fool.
