Chapter 60 Exchange of Benefits
After talking about business, of course, there are other things to talk about, in fact, in addition to talking about business accidents, Guo Xun also has something to talk about with Ye Chen.
"Ye Xiaoyou, what you did in Liaodong to suppress bandits before is worthy of recognition, but now not only Liaodong, but the entire Youzhou is full of bandits, as a stabbing history, I am worried every day, and I can't sleep at night."
"Lord Assassin Shi, Chen also wants to share the worries of adults, but the loss of the Ye family's bandits last time was too great, and he has only just cultivated now, and he doesn't know when he will recover."
Ye Chen knew through the suppression of bandits in Liaodong that these adults and the family urgently needed to exterminate the bandits, although it was himself who benefited the most from the bandits, but how could he say that he would not get more benefits from them.
Guo Xun believed this very much, because the news he got from Liaodong was that the Ye family had suffered huge losses, although they had captured a lot, they could not make up for the losses.
This Guo Xun is also more worried, now the entire Han Dynasty except for Si Li, the rest of the places are very serious bandits, originally this is nothing, everyone is like this.
But if the bandit does a big case, he will be held responsible, for example, the last Qingfeng Zhai incident, although it was not done by Qingfeng Village, but the case of entering the city and destroying the door is counted on the thief.
Someone reported this matter to the imperial court, if it weren't for Ye Chen's timely extermination of Qingfeng Zhai and his own and his brother Guo Hong's efforts, his position as a assassin would probably be shaken.
So now Guo Xun is very worried about the bandits, and he wants to exterminate the bandits, but there is almost no result after several times, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have little ability to suppress the bandits.
So at this time, the Ye family was born, and in less than a few months, they exterminated the bandits in Liaodong, pacified the bandits, and gave themselves a great credit.
But now the whole Youzhou is full of bandits, he doesn't know when these bandits will come out to commit crimes again, and when the time comes, not every place, every time there will be a Ye family.
"I know the losses of the Ye family, I don't know if there is any way to make up for the losses of the Ye family, let the Ye family recover as soon as possible, and help me suppress the bandits."
These words Guo Xun came from the bottom of his heart, because the bandits had too much influence on him, and if he could exterminate the bandits, he could gain great fame, and the court would not dare to do anything to himself at that time.
But now the government's finances are too rotten, and he can't come up with much money.
It would be a fool not to take the benefits, Ye Chen thought about it, it was certain that he would continue to suppress the bandits, but not immediately, but this did not prevent him from taking some benefits immediately.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen said: "Lord Thorn Shi, I want to recommend a county order in Liaodong, and I hope you can give greater convenience when the county order arrives." ”
The resignation of the county order is in the hands of Liu Hong, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and the bid of Emperor Ling, who was called Emperor Han Ling after his death, is 20 million, and 20 million is from the Ye family.
"Oh, but Xiangping County Order?" Guo Xun had thought about many situations, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to make this request.
"No, it's Yuxian." Yuxian County, that is, where Dalian is located, is the place where Ye Chen will make an important layout next.
Why didn't Ye Chen choose Xiangping, you must know that the Ye family's base is now in Xiangping County.
Xiangping County is also the location of the Liaodong Governance Office, which is relatively prosperous, yes, but there are Liaodong Taishou Mansion watching, and there are many families staring at it, and many things are inconvenient for Ye Chen.
There are also strategic considerations, Yuxian is close to the sea, Ye Chen can only develop shipping in Yuxian, where more than one billion will be invested in the future, how can no one guard it.
Moreover, the strategic depth of Yuxian County is also better than that of Xiangping County, Ye Chen knows that in the next few years, Liaodong and even the entire Youzhou will be invaded by the northern grassland several times, and the losses will be heavy, and Ye Chen does not want the base he worked so hard to build will be destroyed.
There is also for training, training in Xiangping County is being stared at, 3,000 infantry is fine, the next cavalry can not be trained there, the cavalry needs too much space, it is not easy to hide.
The county is more desolate, with a small population, better hidden, and a larger space for operation.
Finally, there is the problem of displaced people, tens of thousands of displaced people have used up all the land of the Ye family, and then they have to find a place to resettle.
Another important point is that the county is close to the sea, where there are a lot of resources, at least the fishing and salt industry can be developed. This will become a major source of finance for the Ye family in the future.
For various reasons, Yuxian County became Ye Chen's best choice.
Guo Xun thought it would be Xiangping County, after all, the Xiangping County Order was still empty after Han Dong left office.
"Ye Xiaoyou rest assured, as long as I am within the scope of my authority, I will give the greatest convenience to Yuxian to ensure that no one in Youzhou dares to mess around in Yuxian."
This guarantee is not difficult to achieve, in fact, Ye Chen only needs to let Yuxian have enough autonomy.
"I don't know if Ye Xiaoyou has other conditions." The problem has been laid out, and the temptations of both sides have already been tested, so there is no need to hide it, so Guo Xun directly picked out the problem.
"This time to suppress the bandits, the reason why my Ye family's loss will be so big, in addition to the strength of the bandits, is that my Ye family's doormen do not have good protection, and I don't dare to let the Ye family's doormen be stubborn, I hope the adults can help solve it."
It is not something that a private soldier can do, it is an army, although Ye Chen has already made the guard battalion stubborn, but it can't be said, and it can't be put on the surface, if the defendant rebels, it will be troublesome.
"Well, this is no problem, my assassination mansion can give the Ye family corresponding power, and they can be strong and persistent during the suppression of bandits."
What is called "during the suppression of bandits, you can be stubborn", this is also Guo Xun's cunning, if someone sues the court, he is very good to shirk, I only let the bandits can do this during the suppression, but I am not allowed to do this all the time.
Besides, what is the history of assassination, if you make a small report to the imperial court, if you don't say it yourself, who else will say it in the entire Youzhou, even if you say that someone in the current imperial court will take care of such a "trivial matter".
"Lord Xie Thorn Shi, it's just that the Ye family's losses this time are too great, I hope that my lord can help solve the weapons and armor, so that my Ye family can exterminate the bandits in Youzhou within three months."
If you want me to suppress the bandits, it's okay if you want me to kill the bandits as soon as possible, you have to pay something practical.
"This, weapons and armor are fine, but now that the treasury is empty, I'm afraid it's not so, so I'll gather from all counties and give you two thousand pairs in three months."
There is always a bargain to negotiate a deal, this Ye Chen understands, and this thorn history is not bad, only cut off one-third.
The two of them agreed, they were very satisfied, and they both felt that they had taken a big advantage, which was a win-win situation.
It's just that Guo Xun never knew that Ye Chen didn't get much benefit on the surface of this transaction, in fact, the benefits Ye Chen got were too big, big enough to affect the future of the Ye family.
It was a very successful deal and a win-win situation, so both were happy and talked for a long time before leaving.
This trip to the Assassin's Mansion was very successful, and he got a lot of unexpected benefits before, originally this plan for the county had been planned, but it was not intended to be implemented immediately, because Ye Chen was not sure that he would completely control the county.
As for the best choice in Yuxian County, of course, Ye Chen is the best, but now Ye Chen is still too young, and the Ye family's base camp is still in Xiangping County, and it is not a day or two to transfer to the past, so Ye Chen plans to let Bai Feng do it.
Why White Wind? Because Bai Feng is proficient in internal affairs, and because he knows Ye Chen's ambitions, he will take the initiative to cooperate in many things.
If other people couldn't understand Ye Chen's intentions in many things, what they did would be very different.
The most obvious is Wu Xian, as the chief manager, he has always considered the things Ye Chen explained from a business point of view, and he can't fully understand Ye Chen's intentions.
Ye Chen couldn't say anything to him, so although Wu Xian did his best and his ability was good, he couldn't make Ye Chen completely satisfied.
Bai Feng does not have such trouble, I believe that Bai Feng will consider the future strategy, will operate the county according to one force, and will also prepare for the future.
Although Bai Feng has gone to the grassland and has not come back yet, it is not so fast to go to Luoyang to buy officials, and it will be almost the same when Bai Feng comes back.
It was already late when he returned to his residence, but Ye Chen was very excited, but he didn't know that a conspiracy was waiting for him.
Zhang's house, the family advocates Bin's study.
"Homecoming, it has been found out that it was the Ye family from Liaodong who injured the second son."
Zhang Bin ordered an investigation into who injured his youngest son, and finally there is news.
"What, Liaodong Ye family!" In Youzhou, the Ye family is a big family, although it is a commercial family, but its influence spreads throughout Youzhou, and the Zhang family is naturally incomparable.
"What a Ye family, he actually came to my territory to bully the people of my Zhang family, and the previous account has not been settled with you, but this time he dared to go to Jixian County to spread wild."
Zhang Bin's face showed a ruthless look, as if the Ye family had a deep hatred for him.
For the Zhang family, the Ye family did hurt his wealth, but Ye Chen still doesn't know where to offend the Zhang family, except for beating Zhang Bin's youngest son tonight.
However, this Zhang Ping is also looking for his own fight, and he dares to be so arrogant if he offends himself first.
"Do you know who is from the Ye family, and what are you here for?"
"Family master, it is Ye Chen, the young master of the Ye family, who is here this time."
"What, haha, God help me, God help me." As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Bin was very excited, so excited that his whole body trembled.
"Family master, this young master of the Ye family is here this time to see Lord Assassin Shi Guo, and the people below have come to report that this Ye Chen has just come out of the Assassin Shi Mansion."
"What? It seems that things are a bit tricky, and they need to be well planned. Zhang Bin calmed down, if the assassin had anything to do with Ye Chen, it would definitely be troublesome to deal with him openly, and he had to be careful.
"You go and give me an order, keep an eye on Ye Chen and his party, don't let them out of sight, don't alarm them, report anything to me at any time."
"Yes, Master."
Ye Chen's purpose of coming to Jixian County has been achieved, and he has even obtained very big benefits. Moreover, it had been several days since he left the Ye family, and it would take several days to go back this time, so he planned to leave the next day.
It's just that he doesn't know if the journey will be as smooth as when he came.
