Chapter 103: See Zhang Rang
The words were divided into two ends, Yuan Shu's face was not angry after he went back, and his face, which was not handsome, was a little crooked, and this time it was even uglier.
When I went back, I happened to see Yuan Shao chatting with his father Yuan Feng, and I immediately thought that that person had admired Yuan Shao for a long time today, but he had never heard of him.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu glared at Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao didn't know what was going on, but he knew that this younger brother must have been deflated outside.
"Brother Shu, I don't look angry at you, but I was bullied outside, if that's the case, I should go and teach him a lesson." Yuan Shao said with a smile.
Yuan Feng and Yuan Shu had different tastes when they heard this, Yuan Feng felt that it was normal when he heard it, and Yuan Shu was about to be angry in his heart.
"Hmph, fake mercy, deliberately made me make a fool of myself in front of my father." Yuan Shu snorted coldly in his heart, of course he would not admit it, otherwise he would have the impression of being incompetent in front of his father, which would show Yuan Shao's goodness even more.
Although Yuan Shu was angry, Yuan Shao made a move, and he had to take it. "Who in the world dares to bully my Yuan family's children, it's just that I saw someone bullying men and women on the road, and I was not angry in my heart."
Yuan Shu said so, then he couldn't use the power of the family to deal with Ye Chen, he originally wanted to come back, ordered someone to find out and then came to the door to retaliate, but now that he was stirred up by Yuan Shao, he definitely couldn't use the power of the family.
Today, in front of Yuan Feng, he said these words, if he was using his family strength to deal with Ye Chen, then Yuan Feng would definitely know, then he would look very villain and hypocritical.
After Yuan Shu saluted and said goodbye to Yuan Feng, he left with a black face, scolding Yuan Shao hundreds of times in his heart, and the enmity with Ye Chen could only be noted down first, and then he would find an opportunity to report it.
Yuan Shao was also very happy to see Yuan Shu like this, but his face was normal.
And Ye Chen forgot about it after he went back, he found the person in charge of Luoyang and asked him to prepare a huge sum of money.
There are quite a lot of deposits in Luoyang, although they were transported back by Ye Chen before, but the business in Luoyang is good, and a large amount of money has been received every day, and a large amount of money has been accumulated.
The next day, Ye Chen went out with a huge sum of 10 million, and he was going to find a way.
Zhang's Mansion, Ye Chen actually arrived at Zhang's Mansion.
Ye Chen knew his identity, if he relied on conventional methods, or took refuge in He Jin's gang, don't think about it, those families don't look down on him at all, because the Ye family is a business family, and no one in his ancestors has ever been an official.
The ancestors of the Zhen family also served as Taishou, and Zhen Yi also had the status of a hereditary official, so they could be assigned to the side of the family, but Ye Chen had no choice.
It stands to reason that Ye Chen didn't come to buy officials, but he was just promoted to filial piety, so why bother to bring so much money? This money to buy a county order is a matter of handy.
This is related to Ye Chen's future strategy, he must hand over Zhang Rang in advance, although he gave Zhang Rang 10 million, but several other ten permanent servants also gave generous gifts. He had money, and in one fell swoop corrupted the ten permanent servants.
When he came to Zhang's Mansion, someone received him, but Zhang Rang hadn't come back yet, Ye Chen was just here to explore the door this time, so he wasn't in a hurry, and sat in the side hall of Zhang's Mansion and waited.
Zhang's mansion is really luxurious, I don't know if it was built according to the miniature version of the palace. There are a lot of partial halls inside, there are many people waiting, there are many pavilions and pavilions inside, and there are many rockeries and small lakes.
Ye Chen also saw that many people came to beg Zhang Rang, most of them just handed over the money, left the post and left, but there were not many who stayed and waited.
Needless to say, Zhang Rang's credit has not been in default for so long in trading, but there are many officials who have not been in default for a long time, but there are also those who have been excused by the emperor for reasons, which just means that they have declined.
This time, Tai Shi Ci came with Ye Chen, but Tai Shi Ci had no good impression of these eunuchs at all, Ye Chen was afraid that he would do bad things, so he told Tai Shi Ci about part of his strategy, and Tai Shi Ci also understood Ye Chen's approach, so he did not object, but came with Ye Chen.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Rang returned home, and when he came back, he actually met Ye Chen.
Of course Ye Chen wouldn't know that he had already registered with Zhang Rang.
"I don't know what kind of official you're asking for." Zhang Rang leaned back against the chair, his eyes half-squinted, and asked.
"Back to Lord Zhang, I didn't come to ask for an official this time, I came specifically to honor Lord Zhang." Ye Chen said respectfully, while Tai Shici stood behind Ye Chen with a serious face.
"Oh, that's interesting, I didn't come to our house to ask for an official."
"There are also small things to ask Lord Zhang, the small one was promoted to filial piety this time, and he should be a Lang official in the palace, but the small one is a businessman, and he can't let go of the small business at home, so he just wants to ask for the name of a Lang official, and go back to run that small family business."
What did Ye Chen say, of course Zhang Rang believed it, thinking that Ye Chen was just asking for an official status, but in fact, he was not interested in being an official. This Lang official is similar to an apprenticeship or internship, that is, to serve as a guard by the emperor's side, learn political experience, and then be released as an official after a period of time. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also from Lang officials.
This Lang official has to stay in Luoyang all the time, and wait until he is released, where is Ye Chen, so looking for Zhang Rang to help him with this little favor is not a matter at all for Zhang Rang.
"Is it just a little thing? Our family knows, there is nothing else, if not, just retreat. Zhang Rang still looked like he did just now, and he couldn't see what he meant at all.
"Lord Zhang, there are some small things to ask Lord Zhang for help."
"Hmm." Zhang Rang answered casually and didn't move.
"I have some industries in Luoyang, running a small business, and I want to ask Mr. Zhang to help take care of it, of course, I will naturally repay Mr. Zhang." Ye Chen not only wanted to send money to Zhang Rang this time, but also planned to give benefits to Zhang Rang for a long time.
"Hmm"
Zhang Rang replied again and then disappeared, obviously asking Ye Chen to speak by himself, if the conditions are right, he will naturally agree, if it is not in line with his wishes, it depends on his mood.
"I brought 10 million yuan to honor Lord Zhang.
Ye Chen didn't have much reaction when he said this, although 10 million was a lot, but it was just a small meaning for Zhang Rang, and it didn't interest him.
"In addition, I want to give the agency of Du Kang wine in the whole of Luoyang to Lord Zhang, of course, my Ye family restaurant still has to sell Du Kang wine, after all, Ye family restaurant can't do without Du Kang wine."
As soon as he heard the Du Kang wine, Zhang Rang opened his eyes, obviously he was very interested in this Du Kang wine.
"This is interesting, Du Kang wine is a good thing, His Majesty the Emperor also likes it very much, and he can't do without it every day." Zhang Rang said with a smile.
"That's an honor in the next, our Ye family is developing better wine, if it is produced, it will be dedicated to Lord Zhang as soon as possible."
Zhang Rang listened to Ye Chen's words and felt comfortable, not to the emperor, but to him, which made his distorted psychology extremely satisfied.
"Don't say that, you are dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and our family is just helping to accept it." Zhang Rang said to Ye Chen solemnly, although his tone was blaming Ye Chen for saying the wrong thing, but this meaning was not the same thing as his demeanor after speaking.
Of course, Ye Chen also heard it, so although he nodded yes, he despised it very much in his heart, he knew that it was more effective to give good things to Zhang Rang than to Emperor Liu Hong, and whoever called the mediocre emperor loved to listen to him.
"You can dedicate the agency of Du Kang Liquor to our family to prove your loyalty, but I don't have the talent to run it, so this Du Kang Liquor is still managed by you, as for your business, whether it is in Luoyang or other places, as long as it is a big place, no one can mess around."
Ye Chen is loyal, and this one can't help but show that after all, he is very honest in doing business and trading with others.
Ye Chen listened to the secret joy in his heart, although he relied on Zhang to make this big tree easy to do, but the sequelae were also very big, he believed that Ye Chen had left the gate of Zhang's mansion, and his reputation among Qingliu and the family was completely stinky.
However, the stinky is stinky, the effect is still there, anyway, he used to be a businessman, and he was not treated well by the major families, even if the Ye family's business was big, they would look down on him, the times were like this, Ye Chen couldn't help it.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, Chen will definitely manage the affairs of the adults well, and will give the profits to the adults every month." Zhang Rang finally returned the agency of Du Kangjiu to Ye Chen, but he had to make him filial piety every month.
The profit of this Luoyang's Du Kang wine is tens of millions every month, and when the time comes, he will give Zhang Rang twenty or thirty million every month, and he can also satisfy his appetite, and then send some gifts from time to time, so that the relationship will not be broken, and there are people in the court who are easy to do, and the court, no one can make trouble for him.
"Okay." Zhang Rang responded, he was very happy that Ye Chen was so good.
"Lord Zhang, this Liaodong County was also an official bought by my Ye family from you before, I don't know if you still have an impression."
"yes, I see." After speaking, Zhang Rang half-squinted his eyes again.
With Zhang Rang's words, there will be no changes in the county, even if someone wants to do something, Ye Chen doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Ye Chen bowed and said goodbye with interest.
"Second brother, this eunuch is really greedy." Back at the residence, Tai Shici said very dissatisfied.
"Yes, the people of this world have been harmed like this by them, and they have half of the credit."
"Second brother, you said we can't kill them." Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists, he entered the Zhang Mansion and saw that the Zhang Mansion was extremely extravagant, and it was too much compared to the people who couldn't eat.
"Without our help, they won't be able to jump for a few years, and I will take back the people's fat and ointment they collect and return them to the people." Ye Chen said firmly.
Of course, Tai Shici believes that Ye Chen has done it, Ye Chen has already told him part of the strategy before, Ye Chen's visit to Luoyang this time is just the first step in the layout, and his goal is to seize Zhang Rang's wealth, so he is not sad about giving Zhang Rang a huge bribe, and he will get it back sooner or later.
If Ye Chen was a child of the family, this thing really couldn't be done, and Ye Chen wouldn't have a reputation to get mixed up with Zhang Rang, anyway, he was not from a good background, and he was not much better in the family than now, so Ye Chen could collude with Zhang Rang so disregarding his image and influence.
