Chapter 169: Heading to Dongjun

One of the advantages of Yingchuan is that it is very close to Luoyang, and it will not lose money to develop here, Yingchuan has always been a rich place, although it has been looted by the Yellow Turban, but it will not take long to recover.

Ye Chen plans to build a base here, of course it is not a permanent base, I believe that in a few years, this will be someone else's territory, so Ye Chen will not get some industries here that are difficult to evacuate.

When the princes compete for hegemony in the future, Ye Chen will definitely not put his property in other people's bowls, but there are still several years in between, this time is very safe, and it is close to Luoyang, and it can be well developed.

First of all, Ye Chen bought most of the fields around Songshan, and then placed those Yellow Turban captives here to become farmers again. Otherwise, although Songshan is big, it can't support many people.

Ye Chen also transferred a group of people from Luoyang to buy some properties here, and restaurants will also be opened. The current Yejia Restaurant also undertakes some intelligence collection functions, and there are many trained intelligence personnel in it, and these intelligence personnel are managed by the intelligence system, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant does not know their existence.

The people who come and go in and out of the restaurant are people with status, and the wine table is an important place for them to discuss things, they think that they are very private in the private room, and they can discuss some important things, but as a result, a lot of information has been discovered by intelligence officers, of course, it is not useful information for the Ye family, and the Ye family will not disclose it after collecting it, and most of it will be destroyed.

Ye Chen is determined to develop Yingchuan There is another point, that is, in order to collect talents, Yingchuan is one of the gathering places for scholars in the world, although for the time being, those scholars from big families can't pry, but Yingchuan has a characteristic, that is, there are a lot of poor students, some of these people have no view of the door at all, and even if they do, they are not like those families, which make water and fire incompatible.

Ye Chen gave Yingchuan's intelligence system a task, which was to collect some information about poor students, some of whom could be contacted privately, and those who were willing to go to Liaodong would be given great convenience, help arrange everything, and if they felt that the other party was indeed a talent, they could promise some conditions, such as giving them positions.

Although there is still a war on the front line, Yingchuan City has calmed down, and it is still quite lively, because the Ye family's team has arrived, and a large number of materials, food, production tools, etc. have been transported.

Huangfu Song, who was commanding the battle in Yingchuan City, couldn't understand it, because Ye Chen had invested a lot in these captives, and according to his thoughts, Ye Chen was a profiteer, and he should be squeezed from them to death, not invested a lot. In the end, Huangfu Song really couldn't understand it, he didn't understand business, and he could only sigh that the Ye family was really rich.

Of course, Ye Chen will not waste it in vain, these people are all laborers, or free labor, buy a lot of land for them to plant, Ye Chen has to collect a very heavy tax every year, except for leaving them enough food, the rest will be collected.

However, compared to many homeless people who can't eat enough and can even shelter from the wind and rain, their future life can be said to be very good, so in the end, although the Ye family has made huge profits, these farmers are very grateful to the Ye family.

Those who farm can't eat enough, this is indeed the sadness of the times, Ye Chen can't change it, but he can still make his own decisions on his own territory, he also squeezes the labor of farmers, and there is actually a lot of surplus food grown by farmers, but the Ye family has more than others, in addition to making fertilizer, that is, the Ye family will equip farmers with enough farm tools, plows and ploughing oxen.

Although the farmers of the Ye family plant more than others, they will not be more tired than others, because there are a large number of ploughing cattle and farm tools, but the fields here will be turned into fields by Ye Chen, regardless of whose land, everyone will plant together, and the harvest will belong to the Ye family, but the Ye family will ensure that all of them can be fed.

The problem of peasants is no longer a difficult matter in the Ye family, there is already a mature system, and these peasants will soon be resettled, placed around Songshan, and secretly provide logistical support to the people on Songshan.

Ye Chen didn't plan to open a workshop for the production of Du Kang wine and weapons here, but only to build some ordinary farm tools here. After some investigation, Ye Chen found that compared with Liaodong, it has a large population and fertile land, which can be used as a grain production base for the Ye family.

Although it is not very ideal as a grain production base because the distance is too far and the transportation is inconvenient, it is much better than having money and no place to buy grain.

After arranging the affairs of the peasants, Ye Chen went to Songshan, the scope of Songshan is very large, and it is too simple to hide thousands of people in it.

On Songshan Mountain, the tiger head has already begun training, and the weapons and equipment have been captured from the yellow turbans, and the personnel are now very small, only a few hundred people have been recruited. But this is not in a hurry, and it will not be used in a short time.

Ye Chen didn't stay long on Songshan Mountain, because the war here was about to come to an end, and he was also thinking about where to go next.

After the main force of the Yellow Turbans was wiped out along the way, the Han army quickly regained the city with a sweep, and the next arrangement of the imperial court also came down.

The imperial court ordered that Huangfu Song led the army to exterminate Bu Ji on the back of the activities in Dongjun, and Jianwei general Ye Chen assisted.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment after receiving the order, not because he asked them to attack Bu Ji on their backs, but because he asked Ye Chen to assist. The meaning of this assistance is not to be led by Huang Fu Song, but as an independent existence, this is interesting, which makes Ye Chen a lot more flexible all of a sudden, and many things can be arranged freely without being controlled by Huang Fu Song.

Of course, Ye Chen was very happy about this result, what he didn't know was that this was a small trick played by Zhang Rang, so that he could make more contributions, and he would be able to operate well in the future.

Zhang Rang knew that his subordinates were all cavalrymen, with high mobility and high mobility, and could do a lot of things independently, with him, the credit for what Ye Chen did independently would be his, and others would not be able to share it if they wanted to, and when the war was over, he would report Ye Chen's merits, and who would dare to oppose it at that time?

Ye Chen began to prepare to go north, and Huangfu Song still had to wait, because the army that went out to collect the city had not all returned.

"General Jianwei, the emperor's order is difficult, His Majesty ordered us to set off for Dongjun as soon as possible to suppress the bandits, but it will take three days for my soldiers to return, so I would like to ask you to be the vanguard and set off first, so as not to delay the emperor's order and be punished." Huangfu Song found Ye Chen and discussed with him.

Because Ye Chen is not directly under his control, although he has a temperance, Huangfu Song does not want to take too much military power on his body.

"Okay, I am willing to be the vanguard of the whole army and set off tomorrow morning." Ye Chen agreed to come down in one bite.

The pioneer is also a credit, and Ye Chen is indeed fine here, it is better to go to the yellow scarf of Huidong County as soon as possible, step on it first, and make some preparations.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen replenished the arrows and grain and grass and set off. Cao Cao watched Ye Chen leave enviously, although he had been back for two days, Huangfu Song asked him to rest and set off with the army.
