Chapter 16 Planning

The moonlight fell like water. Although it was a waning moon, it shone the earth without darkness. Wang Li stood under the moon and stood with his hands behind his back. In the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, there were no electric lights. The entire mansion dispersed after the banquet and then turned off the lights.
In this era, there were no electric lights, candles, oils, etc., which were not available to ordinary people. Only nobles could use them freely. Therefore, when it was dark, the whole of Handan became dark.
At this time, there were only a few places in Handan that were brightly lit, either brothels or wealthy families were still having fun late at night and singing and dancing were not over.
"Shaolong, come to see me so late, but what important thing is there?" After the banquet, Xiang Shaolong asked Wang Daxiong to inform him of the appointment. If it was a normal thing, he could say it in the daytime, so Wang Li temporarily let the others go and talk to him.
"Sir, there is indeed something important. Today, Zhao Ding, the general of the military camp stationed around our mansion, came to me and said he wanted to invite me to go to his camp as a battalion officer and train his soldiers?"
Xiang Shaolong said directly to Wang Li, and Wang Li frowned: "Did you agree?"
"No." Xiang Shaolong replied, "That's why I came to discuss with the sir."
"Hmph." Wang Li snorted coldly: "Fortunately you didn't agree, otherwise you wouldn't be so easy to mess in Handan in the future."
"How could this happen?" Xiang Shaolong looked at Wang Li with big eyes: "Last time, I said I would train my slaves here first, and there will be other placements soon? I thought Zhao Ding..."
"Shaolong, do you know that although talents are precious in this era, there is something more precious than talents." Wang Li looked at Xiang Shaolong: "That is loyalty."
"A disloyal talent is hard to use even if it is talented. Some cruel people are afraid that you can use it for others, so they are just wary of using you everywhere, but they can simply kill you directly."
"And your current identity is my guest minister and my fellow countryman. It can be said that in the eyes of the entire Handan City, you are one of the core figures in my mansion and are born with my label. At this time, if any Zhao Ding takes you away in a few seconds."
Wang Li smiled and said, "You will have a new label on your body, that is, lack of loyalty? Shaolong, this world is not our era. If you want to make a name for yourself in this era, you have to pay attention to many places."
Xiang Shaolong didn't expect that there were so many invitations for just Zhao Ding. "Fortunately, I didn't agree immediately."
"It's good if you don't agree." Wang Li looked at Xiang Shaolong: "Even if Zhao Ding obeyed the king's order, don't agree. I will arrange everything for you."
"To be honest, Zhao Ding is here to invite you, but this is what I expected. Otherwise, why would I let you train a slave? It is just a chance to show your face in front of the confidant of the King. After all, he just heard about it. But he could see this skill directly."
"When he sees your ability, he will definitely think that if such a capable person is a guest minister for me and just trains a slave for me, wouldn't that be too incompetent?"
"So, once you determine your ability, he will definitely come to you."
After Wang Li's explanation, Xiang Shaolong was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Li would have such a deep plan for him to take office. "It's so amazing. Fortunately, I came to discuss it with him."
Wang Li looked at Xiang Shaolong and smiled and said, "As long as you act as I say, I will arrange you well in your future. You don't have to worry about this."
A person's body is born with a sense of laziness. When someone can arrange something for him and doesn't have to worry about it, he will naturally not spend any effort on this aspect, which will often form a support for the arranger.
Wang Li kept building his own wise and profound image in front of him, so that Xiang Shaolong knew that in these major aspects, he would always arrange them ten times better than he did himself. In this regard, Xiang Shaolong would naturally respect him, and even would not have his own ideas in such matters.
"Then I will follow my husband's arrangements. What should I do next?"
"Next, if Zhao Ding asks you, even if the King of Dai comes, you will refuse. The reason for refusing must be me. You must reflect your loyalty."
"Zhao Ding can't invite you, and in the end, everything will still come to me. Maybe one day, the king may ask me for you and ask me to release him."
"So that's the case, so that I won't be labeled as an infidelity that can be easily won over, and then I can get on the throne?" Xiang Shaolong looked like this and said, "And, the king came to ask for someone for him. The effect is completely different than the teacher's direct recommendation. Are you right? "
"How can it be that simple? If I agree at this time, the king will send you any position, which will make me put my face in the air. Oh, I'm planning to find a small position for you? You're wrong."
Wang Li shook his head and said, "The king asked me, I would not respond. I would only shirk my words and say that you have great talents and value them very much, so now you are unwilling to let others go. The more I do this, the more the king will value you."
"Now in the eyes of the king, I am already extremely talented, and the people I value will not be bad. But I will never let go, which will make him feel that you are talented."
"The more you feel talented, the more you want to use you. Of course, I will not keep pushing you. After the king said a few times, I told him that when Xiang Shaolong trained me as a slave, he would train me to create a group of useful guards before handing them over to the king."
"In this way, it is to sell the king for a while and let the king wait for a while. At this time, I still have to think about how to reflect your talents higher."
"Shaolong, think about it, the king has wasted so much saliva and told me that it is so difficult to get you. How will he reuse you once he succeeds? It must be a hundred times better than Zhao Ding just giving you a battalion official."
"And this is the beginning. If you have a good impression in the king's heart, if you make some achievements in the future, the king will promote you. With my help behind you, how can you not reach the top?"
"You are also from modern times. You should also know something. Many officers in the army have not made meritorious contributions, but they have never been promoted in their lifetime. Some people who make small contributions will be rising step by step, and the difference is big."
Wang Li said this and shocked Xiang Shaolong again: "Oh my God, sir, this plan..."
"Okay, it's already very late. Go and rest quickly. ** It's worth a thousand gold at a moment, but don't let the beauty wait for resentment." At the end, Wang Li said jokingly, then turned around and left.
In the night wind, only Xiang Shaolong's contemplative figure was left: "In this era, it is really a blessing for me, Xiang Shaolong, to meet such a good fellow villager. Now he has such a beautiful wife and concubine, and he can reach the top in the future?"
Xiang Shaolong thought so, but he didn't know that if Wang Li didn't come, his fate would be completely different. At this time, the many top beauties in Wang Li's arms should be his pocket.
