Wang Fu's mood is very excited now, because Wang Fu fully understands the great value of the young master's creation, and sincerely hopes to create a great cause with such a wise young master, but from Wang Fu's point of view, although the young master's future is limitless, but it is still in the rising stage, and all aspects are a little chaotic, Wang Fu has been in the officialdom for many years, knows the stakes, and really hopes that the young master will pay more attention, so Wang Fu arched his hand and said to everyone:

"Young master, the old man admires the wisdom of the young master, to be able to create such a divine thing, it can be said that in the future, if the soldiers on the battlefield distribute a large number of this compressed grain and grass, it will greatly reduce the burden of grain and grass supply in the rear, in the past, the army of 100,000 people fighting, if the battle line is too long, the same amount of 100,000 people is needed to ensure the logistics supply, this person eats horses, money and food are consumed like a bottomless pit, and one or two major wars may hollow out the family of the imperial court. If the army brings some of this kind of compressed grain and grass in the future, it only needs a small number of people to transport a little more, which may be less than 20,000 people, and this kind of compressed grain and grass is convenient to transport, and the shelf life is several times longer than that of ordinary grain and grass, and it can be stored and arranged in advance in various border passes. For this alone, the old man asserted that the army can save more than forty percent of the expenses in combat! ”

"However, anything, there is a benefit, there must be a harm, this kind of militaristic weapon created by the young master, in addition to military value, there are also unusual money and financial benefits, as long as there is a little vision, just a finger, mastering this skill, it is equivalent to mastering a cash cow, the profit is immeasurable, such a great temptation, it is bound to make the courtiers red, if the young master does not do a good job, I am afraid it will cause disaster!"

Where would everyone think of this layer, they all calmed down from the surprise, and even a few deputy captains began to worry that this was a hot potato, looking at Zhang Xian with a blank eye, Zhang Xian smiled, and said to everyone:

"Mr. Wang is really from the army, and his vision is indeed superior! You are all my Zhang Mansion's cronies and confidants, and this son does not hide it from everyone, this thing was created by this son, then, this son will not allow anyone to take it, even if the emperor comes. In this troubled world, the people are not happy, the Tartars are cruel, the government is dark, if you want to save your life, it is not enough to just be an official, there are officials in the official, maybe you will be framed when you will be, Wang Lao's predecessors are a living example! Even if he is a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people, there is still an emperor above, and he is also a companion like a tiger! ”

Wang Fu nodded and said:

"What the young master said is very true, over the years, the old man can be regarded as understanding, being a military general of the imperial court, sooner or later he will be mistaken by the court's mediocre ministers, and as a civil official of the imperial court, they are all vying for fame and fortune, and there are few officials who really do things. Now the young master can have a cash cow, according to the old man's estimate, after the compressed grain and grass open up the market, it is no problem to raise tens of thousands of horses with income. ”

Zhang Xian also liked this Wang Fu more and more, and he said with a smile: "Therefore, this son believes that in the troubled times, only swords and guns, only supporting the army and protecting oneself are the fundamental guarantee for one's life, not to mention the emperor, even if the Tartars come, you have to ask the soldiers if they agree with the swords and guns!" Therefore, this son decided two things, the first thing is arranged by the fifth uncle, in addition to completing this imperial mission, the two thousand four hundred stone grain and grass are all compressed, the fifth uncle, you also have to take out all the money of the family, you can also take the title deed mortgage loan, purchase a large number of grain and forage, expand the scale, full speed production, the fifth uncle needs to send a competent manpower, to Yangzhou thought that the area to vigorously promote this compressed grain and grass, the convenience of compressed grain and grass, as long as you are not a fool, you will like it, profit, Charging 30% is enough to make a profit! The money earned, except for the needs to continue production and operation, is given to my father, but the fifth uncle, this formula and process of compressing grain and grass must not be outflowed, and all the workers involved in the processing, you tell them that they will never be allowed to step out of this valley within ten years, and bring their families in, and their wages will be doubled. If someone wants to run out and leak the recipe and process, the fifth uncle must do it, and such a person must not be kept. ”

After hearing this, the fifth uncle stood up and said to Zhang Xian:

"Don't worry, patriarch, I know the severity, this is a matter of the rise and fall of the family, and I will never let the cash cow be dug up by others!"

Zhang Xian motioned for the fifth uncle to sit down, as long as he had a firm attitude and determination to do things, Zhang Xian continued: "The second thing, this son originally planned to recruit troops and horses to expand our team after escorting the grain and grass back, but our visible enemies and invisible enemies will appear soon, and we can't afford to be unprepared. Now it seems that we have to make adjustments, this matter needs my father to work hard, even if you use the money earned by the fifth uncle to recruit innocent and strong family members, with a limit of 1,000 people, we will not be able to support it for the time being! But don't be too ostentatious, all the training is arranged in this valley, no matter what the situation, you are not allowed to go out of this valley! The child doesn't want any outsiders to know that we've got a team hidden here! ”

Everyone listened carefully, this is indeed a matter of great importance, related to the rise and fall of the family, the fifth uncle is even more grateful to the patriarch for his trust, in the face of such a big profit, the patriarch can not hesitate to hand it over to himself, just with the patriarch's trust, it is really a kind of life to go to the soup and fire is also moved to come out, the fifth uncle stood up two steps, and said to the patriarch:

"Patriarch rest assured, we originally had business sales channels outside Yangzhou City, coupled with the huge advantage of compressing grain and grass, all merchants who went far away, businessmen who ran to sea, fishermen, and then to the army around the country, will need this kind of compressed grain and grass, and profit is definitely not a problem, what I am worried about is that once the son escorts the grain and grass to Ezhou, how many families should he take to go? Ezhou is far away, bandits are rampant, Tartars are reckless, and there are fewer people in the family to bring it, it is not safe, if you bring more, I am worried that the three major houses and the county order may be unfavorable to us, and we can't deal with it for a while! ”

Zhang Xian was very pleased that the fifth uncle could think of this, which showed that the fifth uncle was doing things with his heart and considering the problem from the perspective of the long-term interests of the family, so he said to the fifth uncle:

"What the fifth uncle said makes sense, the three major houses and the county order are all in one place, and they have been thinking about finding trouble for us, and after I leave, they will inevitably take the opportunity to make waves and make trouble for everyone. However, don't worry, Ben Gongzi has already found a way to make them stop temporarily, at least until I come back, they won't take the initiative to find trouble! If you want the enemy not to trouble yourself, then you have to let the enemy have trouble, let them take care of themselves, and there is no way to separate themselves, and everyone will know when the time comes"

A few people in the family team actually wanted to follow Gongzi to Ezhou, Niu Dameng smiled and said: "Gongzi is right, this time I went to Ezhou to escort grain and grass, I Niu Dameng definitely followed Gongzi, if anyone is not convinced, he will beat his mother!" Hit him to serve! Childe, you must take us with you! ”

"Yes, yes, we are willing to go with Gongye!" Several vice-captains followed.

Wang Fu listened to everyone on the side, thought about it carefully, and felt that the title of this mansion was chaotic, and this title must be changed, so that the young master could subtly establish authority over the people around him, and the fastest way to establish authority was official authority! Wang Fu arched his hand to everyone and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing, the old man hopes that everyone can be unified, the young master is not only the patriarch, but also the son, but also the young master, and also a meritorious tribute, and now he also has an official body, although the official rank is no grade or rank, but after all, he is an official of the imperial court, if we are even confused with the title, it will be a great faux pas! Therefore, the old man hopes that everyone will call the young master an adult, and this matter starts with the old man! ”

Wang Fu turned to Zhang Xian and arched his hand, and continued:

"The old man doesn't know what the adults think? The so-called improper name is not good, and the title of the young master is strange, which will make the subordinates feel close or separate, which is not conducive to the establishment of prestige by adults, and please make a clear judgment. ”

"Well, it makes sense, then the official is as good as a stream, thank you for the reminder from the head of the king! By the way, I would also like to tell you that this time to escort the grain and grass to Ezhou, the official needs to bring a hundred family members to go, and the others stay to guard this valley, the importance of this valley, I think everyone also understands, in addition, it is also necessary to draw a few capable candidates to practice the recruited family members, Wang Jiaotou, this official will ask you to practice the newly recruited family members this time, and the deputy captain Li Jinde will assist you, maybe the training method of the official. It is different from the ways and methods that Wang Jiaotou has seen in the military before, I hope that Wang Jiaotou can find a way to integrate it, and we must meet our elite soldier standards as soon as possible. ”

Wang Fu nodded with satisfaction, the temperament of this young master's superior is really natural!
