Chapter 196: VIPs
There is no venue, no silver, no personnel, a typical three-no-state.
That's it, Wanli is also embarrassed to let Ye Xun reopen the West Factory, if someone else is replaced, he will definitely think, Wanli Boss is trying to play me to death, right?
Ye Xun can understand Wanli's distress, because Wanli knows that if he asks the court for everything, this western factory will not be able to open at all, and he can't even mention it.
In that case, let's start from scratch!
Located in the southwest corner of the capital, the old ash factory is now dilapidated, with more than a dozen beggars living in waist-high weeds, infested with cats and mice, and under the beams that could collapse at any moment.
Although he has been prepared, Ye Xun still has an urge to scold his mother, is it really Lao Tzu's silver that is blowing in the wind?
Angry is angry, but you still have to do work, but fortunately, the most important thing in the capital is the homeless.
Ye Xun had silver, and secretly had Hu Jiucheng and Xiang Biao to help, and in less than half a day's effort, hundreds of young and strong homeless people were hired to come and start cleaning up here.
There are many people to work, and in two days, the entire old site of the ash factory was cleared, and then it is necessary to build some necessary office space and accommodation for the fans.
This project will take time, but fortunately, Ye Xun is not in a hurry, and the project is in progress, and he will start recruiting his subordinates.
During the Chenghua period, the West Factory Fanzi was recruited from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but Ye Xun didn't plan to do this, because it was likely that they would be thrown into the sand and finally make a wedding dress for others.
The ideal is to transfer troops from Liaodong, but that is easy to arouse Wanli's vigilance, so it has to be recruited nearby.
The guards around you can be used as stalls, but what about the soldiers?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Xun finally decided to come to Zhang Weixian, although there were many vacancies in the Beijing camp, even the military households in the camp were mostly poor and middle peasants, and they were living very poorly.
As long as Zhang Weixian opened his mouth and wanted some soldiers to come over, it shouldn't be a difficult thing, anyway, they are used to eating empty salaries, and if they eat more, I am afraid they will only be happier.
Zhang Weixian obviously also knew that Ye Xun would come to him, so he did not receive Ye Xun in the study today, but placed a few small dishes and a pot of old wine on the stone table in the courtyard.
"The old man is so interested"
Ye Xun saw that there were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and knew that they must have been prepared for himself, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he sat opposite Zhang Weixian in his robe.
Zhang Weixian looked at Ye Xun with a smile, and suddenly said, "How is the matter of the West Factory?" ”
Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and then understood, I am afraid that it is the matter of this West Factory, it was this old guy who brought it up, this old guy supports himself so much, is he not afraid of raising tigers? But it's okay to save yourself the trouble of making up excuses.
With a wry smile: "It's okay if you want anything, the old man really found me a good errand, but then again, you pushed me to the front line, you old man can't leave it alone!" ”
"You've been cleaning up the place, and you're not missing money in Liaodong, and now the most lacking thing should be people, what's the idea, want to fight the old man's fifth military camp?"
"Old man, what you said is not right, when did I pick up the silver? If you let those well-fed and idle imperial historians know, you can't spray me to death? ”
Ye Xun called out to hit the sky, as if he was innocent, in fact, how much silver he had made in the past few months in Liaodong, I am afraid that even he can't remember it clearly, anyway, it was Liaodong who left with his sleeves in gold.
Zhang Weixian pursed his lips, and did not mean to expose Ye Xun, and said: "I can allocate 1,000 military households to you, but the old man also has a condition, that is, you must also take care of their families."
Listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Ye Xun almost didn't jump up in anger, a thousand military households doesn't sound like much, but if you add their families, it's not like that, five or six thousand are less.
Old man, you're helping me! It's clear that he's helping himself.
looked at Zhang Weixian quietly and said, "These thousand military households belong to me, and their land is probably gone long ago!" Lao Guogong's business is not bad! ”
Ye Xun's sneering words did not anger Zhang Weixian, only to see a trace of pain flash in Zhang Weixian's eyes, and said: "Since you know everything, you should know the difficulties of the old man, many things, the old man is also involuntarily, but the old man also has to persuade you, don't think about picking this cover, otherwise no one will be able to protect you."
"Old Guogong, I really can't see through you more and more, I want to push me up, but I am not allowed to do this, what do you mean?"
"The old prince is also a person who leads the troops, he should know why Jiannu is so rampant, now the guard is erosive, the military system is corrupt, and my Ming soldiers have become a group of farmers who can only dance hoes, how can such an army not be defeated?"
"The Beijing camp claims to have seventy-two guards and hundreds of thousands of troops, but how many can really pick up swords and guns and go to the battlefield? In case Jiannu or the Mongols call that day, what will we use to protect Your Majesty and protect the thousands of people of my Ming Dynasty? ”
In the end, Ye Xun became excited, but this was not what he deliberately pretended, but that he really had the kind of anger that hated iron and steel.
The dignified Ming Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death, and these vampires still only think about their own interests, regardless of the life or death of the country.
Zhang Weixian still had that calm expression, until Ye Xun's mood stabilized, and then said: "The old man was like you when he was young, I can't immediately change these bad habits and make my Ming army return to its former glory, the old man has also worked hard and fought hard for this, but what about now?" There are more and more vacancies in the battalion, and the armament is becoming more and more useless, and the old man's efforts are only exchanged for a long sigh."
"Also, do you think that Your Majesty does not know about these things you are talking about? But why didn't he care? It's because he doesn't dare to care."
Listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Ye Xun was also silent, he knew that he was a little angry just now, as Zhang Weixian said, how could Wanli not know these things?
Wait a minute!
Ye Xun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't explain it for a while.
Wanli and Zhang Weixian both knew their own style, but they pushed themselves out almost at the same time, and this old man Zhang also intentionally or unintentionally led himself to the serious shortage of the Beijing camp, what did they want to do?
Zhang Weixian kept saying that he would not let himself remove the lid, but he still showed a state of worrying about the country and the people.
Old guy, I almost didn't let you fool me!
Thinking of this, Ye Xun also had a sad look on his face, and said: "That's it, then our family will leave, and we will go to Your Majesty to resign from this errand in the West Factory."
Zhang Weixian was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, is his performance not enough? Didn't you say that this little eunuch never refused to admit defeat, why did he retire just after knowing some difficulties?
"That, you don't want anyone anymore?"
Ye Xun turned his head and smiled slightly, and said, "I have to hand over the errand, what else do I need people to do?" ”
"You..."
In a hurry, Zhang Weixian couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Ye Xun, and said after a while: "You dead eunuch, why are you so cunning?" ”...
