Chapter 87: Talent
An ordinary businessman, no matter how big his business is, can come up with more than 600,000 taels of silver in such a short period of time, which can't help but make Ye Xun wonder.
Ye Xun also did business in his previous life, and he is very aware of some of the processes of capital operation.
Wang Dengku's nest is in Shanxi, and there is nothing wrong with the branch in the capital, and under normal circumstances, the branch should not keep so much cash.
There are several possibilities, one is that the Wang family has a big move and needs so many silver taels to operate, but Wang Dengku was kidnapped by Ye Xun on the other hand, and such a large sum of silver taels, without his consent, it is obviously impossible to concentrate on the Wang family branch in the capital.
Another possibility is that Wang Dengku borrowed money temporarily, and after dealing with Ye Xun, he was trying to find a way to return it slowly.
Of course, it's not that the things that Ye Xun brought are not valuable, but it's hard to say whether they can be worth so much, but one thing is certain, that is, it is impossible to sell so quickly.
It's not that there is no other possibility, that is, Wang Dengku will find a way to kill Ye Xun, so that he can also snatch the silver back.
Ye Xun is a relatively dark-bellied person, so he prefers the last possibility.
Came to Wang Dengku's side with a smile, patted Wang Dengku's shoulder a few times with his hand, and said, "You are very good, you didn't disappoint our family, but our family suddenly remembered something."
When Ye Xun patted Wang Dengku's shoulder, he used some internal force slightly, so in Wang Dengku's sense, Ye Xun was relieving him of the death hole on his body, because he felt a hot breath swimming around his body, and the pain under his ribs seemed to disappear.
Although I thought about it in my heart, I still asked in my mouth: "Father-in-law, the hole on the grass people's body..."
Ye Xun waved his hand to interrupt Wang Dengku's words and said, "Can't you feel it yet?" Besides, how can my father-in-law be the kind of person who doesn't count, let's get down to business! Our family just suddenly remembered that among the objects that let you deal with them, there are a few calligraphy and paintings that were originally intended to be given away, but they were forgotten in the box by our family, you go back to help our family find it, if not, it will be redeemed for our family, and the silver will be out of our family."
After listening to Ye Xun's words, Wang Dengku was so angry that he almost didn't lose his breath, how could there be such a brazen and insatiable person in the world?
The trace of gratitude to Ye Xun just rose in his heart, and he suddenly disappeared without a trace.
smiled at the moment: "It turns out that there is such a thing, please rest assured, the grass people will go back to the buyer, and they will definitely find the things that their father-in-law wanted."
Although Wang Dengku felt that the city was deep enough, the murderous intent that flashed in his eyes just now did not escape Ye Xun's eyes.
From this, Ye Xun was already sure that Wang Dengku would definitely arrange someone to assassinate him on the road, and then snatch all the silver back.
Nodding and smiling: "Thank you so much, our family will return to Liaodong early the day after tomorrow, I wonder if Wang Dong's family is interested in traveling with our family?" ”
"Huh! The grass people finally went to the capital, and at the same time there were some things to deal with, this time they didn't go with their father-in-law, and the grass people must go to Tieling to visit their father-in-law and say goodbye."
After Wang Dengku finished speaking, he left in a hurry with Hu Jiucheng like a fire.
Looking at Wang Dengku's back, the corners of Ye Xun's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, damn it, you really can't stop it!
Wang Dengku left, and Ye Xun should also go out, but before he could leave, another guard came to report, and there was a person outside the door who claimed to be looking for Ye Gonggong on the order of Fang Shoufu.
Listening to the guard's report, Ye Xun couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in his heart, what is the old man still looking for himself? Isn't your answer clear enough?
I had the heart to say no, and finally thought about it and ordered the guards to bring someone in.
It's still an old man, but it's not the old family of the Fang Mansion before.
The old man was tall, with rough skin, and a coarse cloth suit clinging to his body, although it was quite clean, it was not his.
The old man was obviously a little nervous, and when he saw Ye Xun, he knelt down and kowtowed directly, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "The villain Chen Tienu pays a visit to Grandpa Ye."
Seeing that it was such a person, Ye Xun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, although Lao Fang looked like a very honest person, but he couldn't make friends with such ordinary people! Chen Tienu? The name is weird enough, is it an iron-striker?
Seeing that the old man was still so restrained, Ye Xun said gently: "Old man, you don't have to be nervous, did Elder Fang Ge let you come to me?" What's the matter with me? ”
After a short period of nervousness, the old man Chen Tienu gradually calmed down, slowly stood up, bowed and said: "Back to the father-in-law, the villain doesn't know Fang Ge Lao, it was Fang Ge Lao's old family who found the villain, saying that the father-in-law was looking for someone who can smelt iron and make firearms to go to Liaodong, so the villain found it on his own, I heard that the guild will pay three times the salary, I don't know if this matter is true?" ”
Hearing Chen Tienu say this, Ye Xun smiled from the bottom of his heart, Comrade Lao Fang is really doing things!
Nodding his head, he said, "If your craftsmanship is excellent, let alone three times, ten times is not a problem, what did you do before?" ”
Listening to Ye Xun's words, a bright light flashed in Chen Tienu's eyes, and said: "Back to my father-in-law, the villain was originally in the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, and was responsible for building weapons full-time, but because of his age, he was laid off, although the villain's age is not small, but he still has the strength to do it, if the father-in-law is willing to use the villain, the villain will definitely create the most sophisticated weapon for the father-in-law."
Ye Xun also saw that although Chen Tienu's age does not seem to be young, his steps are calm and powerful, and he is not much old, and if this person was really responsible for building weapons before, he must be a technical talent, what Ye Xun lacks now is to understand technology, back to Liaodong, such a person only needs to be responsible for research and development and command, and he doesn't have to do it himself, so being older is not a problem at all.
"Come, bring three hundred taels of silver"
After Ye Xun's order, the guards quickly went to the treasury and took out three hundred taels of silver tickets.
Ye Xun motioned to the guards to hand over the silver ticket to Chen Tienu, and then said: "Old man, this is a settling-in fee and reward for you, go back and pack it up, and set off with me the day after tomorrow."
Chen Tienu obviously had never seen such a large denomination of silver tickets, holding it in his hand stupidly, feeling like he was in a dream, and only woke up after a while, he couldn't help but cry for a while, knelt on the ground again, and choked up: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, I..."
Chen Tienu is obviously not good at words, and when he was excited, he didn't know what to say.
Ye Xun got up and helped Chen Tienu up with his own hands, and said softly: "Old man, you are older than me, don't kneel down at every turn, you will break my life, settle down after I go back, in addition, also find more talents in this area for me, as long as you have real talent and real learning, I will not only reward you, but also reuse it."
"Father-in-law, rest assured, the villain had the most contact with this aspect of the person earlier, and the father-in-law is so open-minded, there will be many people who are willing to serve the father-in-law."
Ye Xun believes that Chen Tienu is telling the truth, there must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, not to mention the low status of craftsmen in this era, and he has invested so much, so he doesn't believe that he can't find anyone.
Sending away Chen Tienu, who was so grateful, Ye Xun thought to himself that this time he could finally go out for a stroll!
But I didn't want to hear a commotion outside the door as soon as I came to the door...
