The sacrificial text was originally decided to be written by Cai Yong, and the stone tablet had been carved, so I waited for the tile to be raised. Sun Ce temporarily decided to be written by Cai Yan, and everything would have to be pushed down and started over. But these are not a problem. It is too late to carve the stele, so you can write the elixir first, so that Cai Yan can show off her calligraphy.

Cai Yan was quick and almost finished in one stroke. Sun Ce was semi-illiterate and barely knew what she was saying, but couldn't see the wonderful things. After Du Xi read the manuscript, his eyes lit up and praised him. He even called Cai Yan the leader of the girls, no less than a man. Not only did he write well in the article, but his calligraphy was also good. Sun Ce joked with him, then ask her to write a thumbs up to your great-grandfather's portrait. Du Xi smiled and said that he couldn't get what he wanted and happily prepared. He had a very good rule of doing things, and he prepared a lot of stones, which was not troublesome, just say it.

Seeing that the time had been delayed and it was useless to hurry, Sun Ce simply delayed the trip for two days and took this opportunity to contact the family. At his warning, Yan Xiang released a message that Sun Ce intended to transfer some technology, including the transfer fee, and could be paid in installments, and also purchased some bulk office supplies, with large quantities and high prices, and could also pay in advance to help expand production.

As soon as the news was released, someone immediately moved. Yan Xiang and Huang Chengyan were also busy like Cai Yong. People kept coming to greet him, either bypassing the bush or straight to the point, asking what projects can be cooperated with and what materials to purchase.

Yan Xiang and Huang Chengyan have a tacit understanding. They only talk about intentions and do not make promises. Only Sun Ce can decide who they give to in the end.

Seizing the time gap, Sun Ce discussed with Zhou Yu, Yan Xiang and others and drafted a list of to-do business, which was the first draft of the five-year plan. Sun Ce had little actual administrative experience, and he only provided a general direction, and the specific affairs were still handled by Yan Xiang. Although Du Xi decided to leave his post and return home, he still participated in the meeting and put forward some opinions.

Yan Xiang admired Du Xi very much and expressed great regret for his resignation, but he, like Sun Ce, never forced anyone. He would rather work hard for the time being than force anyone to stay, and strive to get together and part.

As the list of people who left and returned home was determined, the determination of substitutes was quickly put on the agenda. In the list reported by Yan Xiang, Sun Ce saw a familiar name: Li Yan and Li Zhengfang. He didn't know if it was the Li Yan in history, but it should not be wrong in terms of age and hometown.

Usually, Sun Ce just checks the list reported by Yan Xiang. He usually won’t make an appointment or reject it, even if some people in it may not be suitable. Yan Xiang is the most cooperative among Yuan Shu’s old subordinates. It is really inappropriate to give Sun Ce this little face. If he has an assessment and speaks, Yan Xiang will not have any objection.

But this Li Yan and Sun Ce really want to meet him.

Without saying a word, Yan Xiang immediately called Li Yan over. Li Yan is now a member of the prefect's office. However, he had been urging money and grain in various counties some time ago, not in Wancheng, so Sun Ce did not see him. It was precisely because of his diligence in the work that Yan Xiang felt that he was a talent that could be made and was included in the promotion list.

Li Yan is very young, two years younger than Sun Ce. He was only sixteen years old and only worked in the prefect's office for a few months. He was a newbie who only joined Nanyang after Sun Ce took over Nanyang. However, his eyes were firm and courageous. Facing Sun Ce, he looked straight straight, without any timidity.

"What books have you read?"

"The Analects of Confucius, the Book of Filial Piety, Zuo Zhuan." Li Yan paused and said: "The Warring States Policy, Sun Wu's Military Art."

"Like commanders?"

"I... want to come up with the generals and ministers."

"Since you want to lead the army, why didn't you go to the martial arts lecture hall to study, but became a county official? At your age, if you go to the martial arts lecture hall to study for a year or two, and then work in the army, you should be able to make a name for yourself soon."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, raised his head again, his eyes sharper. "The land outside the city was divided by the general, the houses in the city were destroyed by war, and life was difficult. Being a county official can receive salary, support the family, and solve the urgent problem."

Sun Ce's heart was so nervous that his eyes stung, and then he smiled again. "So your family is very rich?"

"It's not considered rich. It took generations of hard work to accumulate 250 acres of fertile land and a district of the house."

“How many people are there in the family?”

"Grandmother, parents, unmarried uncle, sister-in-law, three brothers, and two sisters."

Sun Ce roughly estimated that the situation of the Li family is at most considered food and clothing, and it is still far from being a powerful man. It should belong to the category of being accidentally injured. Otherwise, Li Yan would not have two uncles unmarried. This is not unusual. One policy will definitely be out of shape during the implementation of a policy, let alone this time it is a storm-like struggle against us.

"Do you have such a situation in your family?"

"Many, I have visited various counties in the past few months and have seen no less than a hundred and ten cases. I have recorded them all and submitted them to Yan Fujun."

Yan Xiang expressed his approval and did receive Li Yan's report, but he had not reported it to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce nodded and looked at Li Yan's promotion plan. Li Yan was originally just a minor official in the household, and Yan Xiang planned to arrange him as an official under the county magistrate of Wan County. His salary was 100 stones, which was a very appropriate arrangement. Sun Ce returned the plan to Yan Xiang.

"Arranging personnel to check for such medium-sized portals that have been accidentally injured, those who can be repaid, and those who cannot be repaid will be compensated according to the price, and they will be properly placed."

"Here." Yan Xiang took the plan and gestured to Sun Ce with his eyes to arrange Li Yan. He could see that Sun Ce admired Li Yan very much. Sun Ce said nothing. He just encouraged Li Yan a few words and told him to have the opportunity to listen to the martial arts hall. Li Yan thanked him and bowed back.

"General, do you want to re-adjust?"

Sun Ce looked at Yan Xiang. "What did you plan before?"

"I admire him very much, but he is only sixteen years old. If he is promoted too quickly, he can easily cause exclusion from the old officials. He is tough and may cause something to happen, so he has promoted him halfway through the level. He will be familiar with him for a while, make achievements, and then promote him."

"Your plan is very good, I don't think there is any need to adjust it." Sun Ce hugged his knees with his hands, raised his head, and looked at the three or two groups of famous scholars in the distance. "Yan Jun, the famous scholars look down on us, and we look down on them, and we don't do the Yuedan rating. They don't have a horse, they only race horses. They are mules or horses. They are pulled out to walk, and those who can't let them go. It doesn't matter if they are slower. Ten years of trees and hundreds of years of tree people, and the fire and cooking oil are watching the excitement, but they can't hold on for long. Dong Zhuo made the mistake before, and Wang Yun will follow in the footsteps again, so we can't learn from them."

Yan Xiang's eyes flashed slightly. "General, do you think Chang'an is in peace?"

Sun Ce smiled. "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Wang Yun's age cannot change."

"Then are we going to postpone the repatriation of Guanzhong people?"

"Don't slow down deliberately, let it go. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, and some prices are inevitable. If you try hard to save them, they may not be grateful to you, and maybe they will even treat you as an enemy." Sun Ce paused and said, "But it's still good to make some preparations. I guess some people will come back soon even if they leave."
