Chapter 16: The Human Heart

Ye Xun ran a large company by himself in his previous life, and he was also one of the partners of a boxing gym, not to mention the operation of the company, but it is not so simple to run a boxing gym well.

There is an old saying among the Chinese people, called those who can fight to death, those who can drown can water, warriors, not to mention that they are all brave and ruthless people, but they are not far behind, in other words, these are a group of masters who do not stop.

Therefore, if you want to manage a team like him well, not only must you have excellent strength, but sometimes you have to play some unsightly means.

"The tiger is not powerful, I really think Lao Tzu is a sick cat!"

Although Ye Xun still had a calm expression on his face, a cloud of anger had risen in his heart.

In fact, Ye Xun is still a little too preoccupied, nearly six thousand taels of silver is not enough for anything in his opinion, but he doesn't know that these silver are astronomical for ordinary people in this era.

In Liaodong at that time, a few taels of silver could ask for a table of banquets, and the more high-quality banquets were only more than ten or twenty taels of silver.

Ordinary people may not be able to earn a few taels of silver after a year of hard work, and the military households in those guards are not even as good as ordinary people, so even if Ye Xun only shares a few hundred dollars for each soldier who is young and strong, he can already make these soldiers and civilians grateful.

Ye Xun doesn't know this, and he doesn't want to understand it at present, his idea is that as long as he follows him, he must not suffer the slightest grievance.

The envoy sent by Huang Taiji to send a war letter had already left, Li Rulong, Gong Quanan and others were anxious and afraid, left Ye Xun, and went to prepare for the war.

Ye Xun is not in a hurry, he has already thought about it, it really can't be done, he will enter Nurhachi's camp tonight, even if he can't kill the old slave, he will kill a few Baylors or something, scare them first, let them know that Lao Tzu is definitely a man of his word.

Li Rulong and Gong Quanan couldn't accompany Ye Xun, so they sent a governor for Ye Xun to send.

The experience is named Gao Ying, from the fifth grade, it sounds like an official, but he is a military attaché, and he still has a role in the army, and he is not a civil official of the same level.

In the early years of Wanli, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, even national heroes such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou had to kneel when they saw superior civil officials, even if the civil officials were of the same grade as them, because the ancestral system was based on the civil system, and the ancestral system must be implemented unconditionally regardless of whether it is right or wrong.

And the eunuch is even more magical, everyone knows that the emperor believes in these eunuchs who lack parts on their bodies, and civil officials also have to stand aside.

So although Ye Xun is a little eunuch with no grade, through a series of performances, he has conquered including this experienced official from the fifth grade, such a magical eunuch, who dares to say that he is not an undercover agent sent by the emperor here?

Gao Ying accompanied Ye Xun very carefully to report what Ye Xun told him to do, with a respectful and not flattering attitude.

Ye Xun has a good impression of him, this is a practical person, better than Li Rulong and Gong Quanan.

Another governor surnamed Wang is also a small official from the seventh grade, and his attitude towards Ye Xun is even more exaggerated, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Ye Xun is not in the mood to listen to other people's flattery now, so he didn't pay much attention to Governor Wang, after listening to Gao Ying's report, he frowned and muttered for a while: "Although according to what you said, two hundred yuan per person is a lot, but this is not the will of our family, we can't let the soldiers and the people shed blood and tears, in this way, you immediately use these silver taels to purchase pigs, sheep and other livestock in the city, and the grain should also be fine, and then all of them will be picked to the head of the city, cooked on the spot, and I want everyone to eat meat."

Gao Ying was taken aback, nearly six thousand taels of silver, how many pigs, sheep and grain had to be bought!

You Zi was a little unbelieving in his heart, and said carefully: "Father-in-law, are you saying that you don't keep a tael of these silvers?" ”

"Lord Gao, do you still need to say this? My father-in-law worked so hard, how could he not receive a little..."

The governor surnamed Wang interjected in a strange way on the side, but before he finished his words, he was thrown out by Ye Xun's neck violently.

Li Rulong and Gong Quanan each sent a general flag to protect Ye Xun, and they also served as Ye Xun's followers.

Ye Xun pointed to the Governor Wang, who was thrown out by him, and turned to Governor Wang, who didn't get up, and said to the two general flags standing outside the door: "Find a place to lock him up first, and when our family finds out that he is greedy for military salaries, we will correct the law on the spot."

What Ye Xun said to Gao Ying in the room just now, the two general flags heard it.

It can be said that the general flag in the army can be regarded as the most basic officer in the army, compared with those hereditary hundreds and thousands of households, their temperament is more simple, and there are not so many twists and turns in their heads.

What level of officers in the army does not deduct military salaries? Now this little father-in-law has not only convinced them in terms of force, but is obviously still the kind of master who thinks about the soldiers, in this case, who is not willing to give him his life?

Zhang Zongqi, who was tall and strong, strode over and dragged Governor Wang away like a dead dog.

Ye Xun turned his head to look at Gao Ying, and said lightly: "Does Lord Gao understand what our family means now?" ”

Ye Xun's move has undoubtedly shown his attitude of never embezzling a penny.

Gao Ying glanced at Ye Xun deeply, then gave a deep salute, turned around and strode away.

At this time, another general banner surnamed Liang came over and bowed and said: "Father-in-law, according to your orders, eleven families who raise flying pigeons have been arrested in the city, and two of them have confessed at present, and they are indeed spies planted in the city by the Tartars, do you think you should continue to interrogate or..."

Ye Xun nodded and said: "In troubled times, there is no need to re-interrogate, all of them will be taken to the city and cut down, and the family property will be confiscated."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked up and down at Liang Zongqi, who was not tall but strong, and continued: "Are you from Kaiyuanwei?" Mr. Ma is still alive, have you ever thought about going back to Kaiyuan? ”

After listening to Ye Xun's question, Liang Zongqi said without thinking: "If the father-in-law is willing to take him in, the villain is willing to follow the father-in-law to the death."

Ye Xun couldn't help but wonder in his heart, he hadn't given this guy anything real, why did he follow him with all his heart?

As soon as I wanted to ask, I heard the sound of footsteps, but it turned out to be Zhang Zongqi coming back.

"My father-in-law asked Rong Xiaoren to answer this question on behalf of Brother Liang, because he was homeless, the land in his family was occupied by the superior officers, and his father and mother passed away one after another."

Ye Xun finally understood, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for this seven-foot man, got up and patted Liang Zongqi's shoulder, and said warmly: "Don't worry, he won't end well, I hope that after you become a high-ranking official in the future, don't learn from him."

Liang Zongqi's eyes were red, and he hugged his fists and said: "Obey the teachings of the father-in-law"

"There you go! Let's go around the city too."

Liang Zongqi agreed, turned around and strode away, while Ye Xun, accompanied by Zhang Zongqi and a group of guards, stepped on his horse and ran in the direction of the city wall.

The seeds in Liang Zongqi's heart have been planted, and Ye Xun still needs to sow more seeds, but he knows that now is not the time.

Gao Ying's work efficiency was very fast, and on the way to the city wall, Ye Xun and the others saw carts pushing pigs, sheep, and grain running in the direction of the city wall.

Gao Ying was also very thorough, and while sending food and meat to the city, he also publicized Ye Xun's good deeds by the way.

When Ye Xun and his entourage came to the city, the cheers and praise of Ye Gonggong had already resounded through the city, and they almost didn't shout long live.

This effect was something that Li Rulong and Gong Quanan didn't expect at all, seeing this scene, they knew that the military spirit was available, and they couldn't help but have more confidence in holding Tieling.
