Chapter 90: Self-nomination

Cheng Yu was completely confused by Ye Xun's unusual affectionate behavior, although he was moved in his heart, he was not without doubts, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa Ye, we knew each other before?" ”

Ye Xun smiled: "Does it have to be an acquaintance to be like this?" Let me guess, does Brother Cheng intend to go to Liaodong to make a contribution? ”

Although Ye Xun said the central matter, Cheng Yu said quietly: "Does Grandpa Ye think it can be used?" ”

"Of course it's available, now although Liaodong is rampant, but my Ming Dynasty is not without the power of a war, Liaodong is not the same as being harmed by Jiannu, it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, it can be said that Liaodong is lacking everything now, but the most lacking is those talents who can devote themselves to the country and the people, Brother Cheng, when you arrive in Liaodong, Ye will definitely let you show what you have hidden in your chest"

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Cheng Yu was really moved, because this appearance had made him touch the wall countless times, but the father-in-law Ye in front of him not only did not dislike his appearance, but the first time they met, they gave him full trust.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu stood up, bowed to Ye Xun, and said, "Yu, I will never let Ye Gonggong down."

Ye Xun said it nicely, that is to buy people's hearts, if this guy has no real talent, Ye Xun turned his face faster than turning a book.

ordered someone to put the wine and food on the table again, and then invited Cheng Yu to sit down, and the two chatted while drinking.

After taking the wine glass and toasting Cheng Yu, he said, "I don't know what kind of knowledge Brother Cheng is doing?" ”

Cheng Yu knew that this was Ye Xun teaching him, and said with a slight smile: "The student studied in the student prison in his early years, and then because of this appearance, he began to travel the world, and Liaodong has also been there."

Very good, what Ye Xun wants is someone with knowledge and experience, nodded and said: "It's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, Brother Cheng is doing the right thing, since Brother Cheng has been to Liaodong, what do you think of the current situation in Liaodong?" ”

Ye Xun's questions had been thought about long before Cheng Yu came, so when he heard Ye Xun ask, he immediately began to talk eloquently.

"In the early years of Jianzhou Jurchen, under the connivance of Li Chengliang, the wings have been established, and they cannot be pacified in a short period of time, and the reason why the imperial court has the defeat of Salhu, and the reason for correcting it is nothing more than improper use of people, misjudging the situation in Liaodong, and overestimating the army of the imperial court"

"In addition, the guards in various parts of Liaodong are eroded, and many of the soldiers in the guards are no longer called soldiers, but more farmers who farm for the officers."

"On the other hand, Nurhachi has not only laid down a large area of territory through years of conquest, but also tempered the Jurchen warriors in the war.

Ye Xun nodded, Cheng Yu's analysis was very thorough, at least better than those civil officials in the court who could only play with the pen.

I only heard Cheng Yu continue: "Although the Jurchen is strong, there is also a fatal flaw, that is, there are too few people, and he can only remain strong through continuous plunder, but how can those people who have been robbed really have the same heart as the Jurchen?" In time, when the father-in-law's soldiers overwhelm the territory, these people, who usually seem docile, are likely to be the last straw that overwhelms the Jurchens."

"But of course, these are not enough, the first thing we have to do is to strengthen the army, and then enrich the people, while gradually strengthening ourselves, we must continue to harass the Jurchens, so that they cannot develop with peace of mind, and when the time comes, the father-in-law can strike the final blow to them."

When Cheng Yu said these words, the light in his eyes flashed, and it was obvious that he saw hope in Ye Xun, a hope to show his talent and serve the country and the people.

Ye Xun was chewing on Cheng Yu's last words, everyone understands the meaning of strong soldiers, and the meaning of enriching the people is obviously to improve the lives of the people, so as to attract the fleeing people and so on.

It can be said that Cheng Yu's ideas basically coincide with Ye Xun.

"Smack, smack..."

Ye Xun gently slapped his palm a few times, then picked up the wine glass and sighed: "Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, now there are too few people like Brother Cheng in Daming who understand, come!" I toast Brother Cheng, thank Brother Cheng for looking down on me, I am lacking a governor like Brother Cheng, I don't know if Brother Cheng is willing to give in? ”

The governor's official is not big, from the seventh grade, but don't underestimate the seven-grade petty officials of the Ming Dynasty, because many of the imperial histories in the court who catch and bite who are the seventh grades, and Cheng Yu is still white, and he can achieve this position at once, and I don't know how many people will be red.

Cheng Yu is not interested in how big an official position is, but being able to stay by Ye Xun's side and show his talents, which is the most important thing.

stood up at the moment and bowed to Ye Xunshen, and said: "Before coming down, I inquired in detail about what my father-in-law did in Liaodong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that my father-in-law is a genius through the ages, so I dare to dare to come to the door.

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Ye Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't die at every turn, it's unlucky, in the future, let's work together to eliminate the Tartars in Liaodong and make a thousand achievements for him."

As the two were talking, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Ye Xun could tell from the footsteps that Liang Zhen was back, so he raised his voice and said, "Liang Zhen, come in and introduce you to a master."

As he spoke, Liang Zhen had already strode in, first saluted Ye Xun, and then turned around and gave Cheng Yu a salute.

"Brother Cheng, this is Liang Zhen, the captain of my own soldiers, you can find him if you have anything in the future"

When Ye Xun said this, he looked Liang Zhen up and down a few times, and wondered: "Your face is so bad, is it fighting with people again?" Have you suffered any losses? ”

Liang Zhen was ashamed, and when he heard Ye Xun ask, he hurriedly said: "No, no, I saw a fellow villager, he mixed very badly in the capital, I persuaded him to go back to Liaodong with me, but he refused, and talked for a while, so he came back a little late, forgive me."

Ye Xun's intuition has always been very accurate, and he always seems to be a little wrong with Liang Zhen today, but he can't say that it is wrong.

waved his hand and said: "You go first, tomorrow I will give some silver taels to your fellow villagers, don't let the fellow live too hard in the capital, lest people say that our Liaodong people don't talk about nostalgia."

"Father-in-law Xie, if it's okay, I'll go down first"

Ye Xun didn't know that Liang Zhen was already on his back at the moment, and the pressure was not only from Ye Xun, but also from the strange-looking guy next to him, who seemed to have penetrating power, and Liang Zhen panicked in his heart.

Looking at Liang Zhen, who walked out as if he was running away, Cheng Yu's brows couldn't help frowning, and he thought to himself, since he is the captain of Ye Gonggong's personal army, he must always be by Ye Gonggong's side, since he is taking care of him every day, so why be so nervous?

Come to think of it, Cheng Yu is the first day after all, if there is something wrong, then it is not Liang Zhen who will be offended.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu packed up his mind, picked up the wine glass in Ye Xun's persuasion, and drank it with Ye Xun with laughter...
