During this period of time, Tang Lun's Huitong ticket number has opened branches in many places, and business has become more and more prosperous.

Not to mention the eighteen military forts under the jurisdiction of the dangerous mountain, each military fort has at least one semicolon, and even on the Korean side, there are several semicolons.

And the task of the ticket number has long been more than the original exchange.

In addition to the most basic savings, loans, exchanges, mortgages, etc., the most important function of its business scope is to achieve the purpose of controlling important industrial lines for Ye Fu through equity participation.

In North Korea, for example, there are hundreds of shops of all sizes, large and small, in which the exchange pass number is owned by the owner behind the scenes. As long as you are willing to do it, among these shops, you can always find a suitable trade for yourself, learn a skill, and support your family.

Ye Fu, who came from later generations, understands very well that the so-called 'poverty alleviation' in the narrow sense that is commonly understood, such as often sending rice, flour, grain and oil, and giving a few extra clothes to wear during the New Year's holidays, will often only help the poorer and poorer. And the real good way to alleviate poverty is in line with the old saying, it is better to give them fish than to give them fish. Instead of giving them things directly, teach them how to create and get what they want with their own hands.

And this is also the difference between 'opening your mouth to ask for food' and 'reaching out for money', asking for food, that is, what to eat, if you don't give it, you don't have to eat. If you want money, you can buy whatever you want to eat, and if you work hard enough, you can get more money.

In this way, Ye Fu quickly gave the North Korean people who were not doing well something to do, and it was also through these businesses under the exchange pass number that he continued to carry out various subtle political training and education, so that the thinking of the North Korean people was slowly undergoing unknown changes.

Now, even if there is a war imminently, Li Liang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to gather so many enough soldiers for a while. You can't force people to let go of the good days they just had and go to the battlefield to die, right?

Therefore, Li Kun's complaint is not without reason.

It's not that he doesn't want to obey Ye Fu's orders, it's just that if he wants to obey his orders, it must be within his ability, but now it seems that this is a bit beyond his ability.

The army is already stretched, how can it still be divided among others?

What's more, Li Liang has seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers. Theoretically speaking, even the rest of the Ming soldiers were much worse than Ye Fu's subordinates. But compared to Li Kun's North Korean army, it should be much stronger. The Tartars can't beat the dangerous mountain army, the Ming soldiers can't beat the Tartars, and the North Korean army is even worse than the Ming soldiers.

In this way, even if the North Korean army sends troops, what is the use?

Li Kun's face was very embarrassed.

He said: "The handsome man is naturally a saint, since you know the weight of these melons and dates under Xiao Wang, you should naturally know that what Xiao Wang said is true." It's not that I don't want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, but I can't do it, and I hope that the big man can understand, and when he returns to the Ming Dynasty, he also has to bother the big handsome and convey Xiao Wang's apology on his behalf. ”

"It's natural." Ye Fu said, "To tell the truth, in fact, my Liaodong Governor Sun Lao does not have to send the corresponding army from the North Korean side. After all, everyone knows the situation in North Korea, and we naturally have to help with what we can, but we really can't force or force you to do what we can't do, right? ”

"Exactly, exactly." Li Liang listened, his heart was happy, and he nodded quickly. He is not afraid of the so-called court, after all, the emperor is far away, and if he is noisy, he will be treated as a summer worm screaming, but it is just annoying, and his heart is naturally not painful. But Ye Fu is different, this emperor is really not something he can afford to provoke.

"But again." Ye Fu's words changed, and Li Wei was almost out of shape in public. He finally stabilized his mind, forced out an ugly smile, smiled at Ye Fu, and waited for his next step. Ye Fu felt funny when he saw his appearance, so he deliberately hung him, but he didn't say it happily. scared Li Lian's heart so much that he almost jumped out of his throat, and his face slowly turned a little pale.

"Actually, this is easy to say." Ye Fu said this, looking at Li Liang's slightly relaxed expression, he secretly laughed in his heart, this is really a wonderful person.

Seeing that Li Liang was so frightened that the three souls were gone, and the two and a half souls were gone, Ye Fu said his true intentions, "It doesn't matter if there are no soldiers, isn't there still someone else!" If you don't have soldiers, you can always have someone, right? If you have someone, you can always be rich, right? It doesn't matter if you don't have soldiers, you can contribute people and efforts, money and things, in the end, just help. ”

Ye Fu's words were indeed very light, but as soon as they passed in Li Kun's ears, it obviously became an impossible task immediately. He didn't have soldiers, it's true, but he wanted people, money, and things? There's no way he's going to take it out happily!

Seeing Li Liang's reluctance, Ye Fu's face immediately sank, and he said, "What? How much silver does it cost to eat and wear every day in the huge North Korea? And how many people are here begging for a bite to eat? So much silver is spent, so many people are raised, after all, it is neither a silver waste, nor a group of idlers to eat dry rice, right? ”

Seeing that Ye Fu was unhappy, Li Liang was so frightened that he immediately stood up, "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare Xiao Wang play so handsome?" If Xiao Wang really took out a penny of money, Xiao Wang would never be stingy. But it is really poor in the territory of Korea, and when the first king was in power, what was left was a mess, the treasury was empty, and the people were easy to eat, and the food was extremely miserable! Although it is a little better now, in the end, life is still not good. ”

"I don't care if you're doing well or not." Ye Fu was unhappy, frowned and said, "I only ask you, if Liaodong uses troops, what can you come up with in North Korea?" ”

Li Liang was dumbfounded for a while, he just didn't know how to say this. In fact, everything that North Korea has now, which one, was not pulled out of his pocket by Ye Fu and filled here? The industry he put in North Korea is the only pillar in North Korea, and Li Liang doesn't necessarily have to say, I'll take the tax you handed over to me to help your army, right? Isn't that nonsense?

However, Li Liang knew this, and it was naturally impossible for Ye Fu not to know. He was deliberately forcing Li Liang to recognize the reality of the situation. The fact is that you Li Liang are now eating, wearing, and flowers, and all the expenses are Lao Tzu's silver! With Lao Tzu's bowl, you have to obey Lao Tzu's pipe! This is not negotiable!

When Li Qi completely bowed his head and recognized the current situation, Ye Fu no longer continued to force him, he changed his words: "Of course, I also know that your life is hard." Daming needs an ally like you, but he doesn't need another burden. In other words, if the court wants to use you, whether you can help or not, you must be able to help. If you can't help, then I'll have to help you until you can. Can you understand what I say? ”
