Sorry, the previous chapter was repeated, and it has been revised, so I'm sorry again.

Li Xun thought for a while, then said, "There are people with simple backgrounds and real talents and knowledge."

Xue Chengsong was meditating and did not rush to ask questions and answers. Li Xun said it very general, but he still heard the meaning of it. His origin was simple, which was equivalent to excluding all the children of those aristocratic families, who had real talents and knowledge. Besides, as long as he was not from a family, his social relations were not too complicated, and he was indeed talented, Li Xun was ready to vigorously use it. After all, he was also the prime minister of the State Council, and this identity was the core of everything he had.

And from another perspective, Li Xun is too careful in the affairs of the Ministry of War, so the meaning of Li Zhong is too obvious. Li Xun has a certain gap in prestige, qualifications, and even official positions. If he wants to expand his influence and power in the Ministry of War, he will definitely not be able to directly intervene. Many intentions and means can only be accomplished through the people below.

"Liu Shaocong and He Zhu are very talented and sincere. If the Prime Minister promotes and uses them with such kindness as being known, Liu Shaocong and He Zhu will definitely be confused with the Prime Minister."

Xue Chengsong pondered for a long time and finally mentioned Liu Shaocong and He Zhu.

Li Xun said in surprise: "I thought you would take the opportunity to recommend Wang Shaoqun and Huang Que. The personal relationship between you three is quite good."

Xue Chengsong bowed and said with a very sincere expression: "A person like a low-ranking ants is valued and unwilling to be given to the Prime Minister. I must be polite. Although Wang Shaoqun and Huang Qun and I have a very good personal relationship, I also know their nature very well."

“How to say it?”

"Wang Shaoqun is a man with strong abilities and is versatile in his work. If the Prime Minister gives him something, Wang Shaoqun will definitely be able to do it very well, but he has too much thought and will retain three points in everything. When it comes to a critical moment, he will never go all the way."

Li Xun nodded: "Speak."

Xue Chengsong continued: "Huang Jue is also very capable, but he has a bad character. If the benefits are big enough, he can sell his wife."

Li Xun frowned slightly: "Since that's the case, why are you so close to them?"

Li Xun had to suspect that Xue Chengsong was suspected of saying bad things behind his back. Li Xun used the two men Wang Shaoqun and Huang Ju, but he had no intention of Xue Chengsong. Perhaps he said this out of jealousy.

Xue Chengsong smiled bitterly and said, "I am dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. I am from a poor family. I have been an official for ten years and I am still a small seventh rank. In the Ministry of War, I have always been walking on thin ice. There is only one who can really be considered a friend, that is Wang Zhong. As for Wang Shaoqun and Huang Xu, I also saw that Wang Zhong had the possibility of development, so I got close to Hu Jun. I hope to get into a relationship with Wang Zhong through Hu Jun. Although Wang Shaoqun is very thoughtful, he is still sincere to his friends. He is not good at making friends with him. As for Huang Xu, he is capable, but he is a villain. Hu Jun dares not offend him, so he can only make friends with him."

Li Xun nodded, so that's what happened.

Li Xun already understood what Xue Chengsong meant. Li Xun, Liu Shaocong and He Zhu, had some social interactions recently. In his opinion, these are the two of them who are stubborn in their work, average in their ability, but good in their character. Wang Shaoqun and Huang Qun are very capable, but their character is average. Xue Chengsong is telling Li Xun that whether to use people is worthy of morality or ability depends on how you choose.

Li Xun tapped the table gently with his fingers, and he fell into deep thought.

After a while, a knock on the door interrupted Li Xun's thoughts.

"What's up?"

"Lord, Wang Shaoqun is asking for a meeting."

Hua Shaosheng reported.

Since Wang Zhong came once that time, although Wang Shaoqun was very enthusiastic and flattering to Li Xun, he was obviously very sensible and would not disturb Li Xun too much, which would make people annoyed. That is, when he was working in the Ministry of War, Li Xun and Wang Shaoqun often met and came to visit him privately. This was the first time.

"Take him here."

Li Xun thought about it and finally decided to meet Wang Shaoqun.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

When Wang Shaoqun arrived at the backyard, he saw Li Xun, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Wang Shaoqun twisted a pot of wine with his left hand, which was packed in a very rough leather water bag. He looked like a bargain, and his right hand was holding a lunch box with the words Xiaofu on it. It was a famous roast chicken in Fengjing. It was eaten as much as it was very popular among the lower class people and very cheap.

Li Xun looked at Wang Shaoqun with some surprise. If he came here to give him gifts, these things would obviously not be on the table. If you say no, what is his purpose for him to come to visit him suddenly?

"Wang Shaoqun, are you here to come to me with these things?"

Li Xun pointed to the things in Wang Shaoqun's hand and said with a smile.

Wang Shaoqun laughed and said, "Last time I promised to invite the Prime Minister to drink, I have never forgotten it. I originally wanted to prepare some good wine and dishes, but unfortunately I was too tight recently and I was penniless. The things I held were still bought on credit."

Li Xun smiled and said, "You can invite me after a while when you have money."

Wang Shaoqun smiled bitterly and said, "There is an old mother in the humble family. In order to treat her illness, she owes too much money. She has to pay back half of her monthly salary. If she waits for the future, she will definitely have no money. It is better to have short pain than long pain. Please feel at ease early, so as not to make the Prime Minister think that humble job is a person who has no faith."

Li Xun looked at Wang Shaoqun deeply. The postures that everyone showed, whether true or false, had their goals to achieve. Wang Shaoqun's postures may be real, or just pretending to be pretentious in front of him, but for Li Xun, these things don't matter. If Wang Shaoqun is really useful, even if he is a villain with corrupt character, Li Xun will definitely use him. If it is useless and even if he is an enemy of himself, no matter how noble his character is, Li Xun will not say a word to him.

"It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. I can still swallow a pot of wine and a roast chicken."

Wang Shaoqun thought Li Xun was joking, but then, Li Xun really brought a chair and a table. In this small yard, there was a roast chicken and several side dishes, all of which were brought by Wang Shaoqun. He and Xue Chengsong and the other three started eating and drinking, but did not ask his family to cook some food to deliver it. This made Wang Shaoqun look at Li Xun with some surprise.
