Chapter 308: Chen Qiao's Great Victory Rises (4)
I have to say that today's Yu Yin is very different from the fledgling Yu Xiaoyi, who had no backing and no prestige.
After three bloody battles in Guoqiao Town, Chaoyangmen and Chenqiao, Yuyin has accumulated enough prestige.
He has risen in the market, and to a certain extent, he is quite close to the people, coupled with a large number of military exploits, as well as the influence of the crown prince Zhao Chen behind him, he can naturally gain a firm foothold. Getting the support of Zhao Chen is equivalent to getting the support of a neutral minister in the court. Coupled with Yu Yin's humility before, he also gained a certain number of contacts in the military......
Don't say anything else, but say Yao Pingzhong.
Even if Yao Pingzhong lost in the battle of Mutuogang, he has to admit that this person also has a large number of contacts behind him.
Yao Pingzhong was born in Jiangmen, and his ancestral home is Wuyuan.
His grandfather, Yao Ji, was known for his bravery and martial arts, and the official worshiped the Tongzhou regiment training envoy.
Yao Pingzhong's uncle Yao Xiong, is also a fierce general, and later to inspect the school Sikong, Fengning Junjie envoy to Shi, posthumously presented Kaifeng Yi with the three divisions, Zhen Wuxian, and many protΓ©gΓ©s. Yao Pingzhong's father, Yao Gu, is now an envoy to Hedong, and he is also a member of the imperial court who controls real power. It can be said that in the current Great Song Dynasty, there are two major families in the martial arts. One is the seed family of the seed master, and the other is the Yao family of Yao Pingzhong. According to the news revealed by Zhu Xuan, with the suspicion of the official Zhao Huan towards the Dao of the Seed Master, he intended to transfer Yao Gu to the court and know the affairs of the Privy Council.
Yao Pingzhong owes Yu Yin a favor, and the seed master Dao also feels guilty about Yu Yin.
The support of the two prominent families behind him makes Yuyin no longer have to do things like before. At least, if he wants to reopen the prince's army and form a team, a large number of people will come to defect, just like Zhang Xi.
If Yu Yin is still the previous Yu Yin, even if he makes more military exploits, he may not be able to enter the eyes of Zhang Xi or Di Ke's enemies.
But now, it's different.
A huge force has faintly appeared behind Yu Yin.
And this force, centered on the crown prince Zhao Chen, is growing.
Zhao Chen was promoted by the Great Song Times Weekly. Prestige is growing. Many neutral members are inadvertently moving closer to him.
The greater his strength, the more stable Yu Yin's position will be, and the more influential he will be.
This has become a virtuous circle, and Zhao Chen's holding of the Great Song Times Weekly is equivalent to controlling the mouthpiece of the Great Song Dynasty. Such a situation is the result that Yu Yin did not expect when he gave the Great Song Times Weekly to Zhao Chen.
In a word. That's a good thing.
The higher Yu Yin's prestige. The greater the influence, the more and more people will come to you.
Especially those talented people who have no ambition in the people, they will come to defect. Dick's enemy asked Dire to defect to Yu Yin. Suffice it to say so.
Dire?
Yu Yin was not impressed.
It's just that when I listened to "Speaking Yue" in my previous life, I knew that there was such a character in Zhu Xianzhen's four fierce and eight sledgehammers.
He also listened to Gao Pet. This Di Lei made a pair of iron maces, so it would not be the Di Lei in Yue. However, when it comes to martial arts, Gao Pet is also quite appreciative. Being able to defeat Wang Yange shows that even if this Di Lei is not as good as Yang Zaixing, he will not be too far behind.
"So let him come in two days."
Yu Yin knew that if the prince's army was reopened, it would never be as simple as before.
The formation of the prince's pro-army at the beginning was inevitably a bit of child's play. Basically, it is mainly composed of the surviving team after the Battle of Chaoyangmen, supplemented by the Qin Fengjun who joined temporarily. is the name of the prince's pro-army, and it is also a whim, and it is said casually, which is not formal. But now, the prince's army has become famous. It is said that Queen Zhu Lian ordered the embroidered girl in the palace to make a big silk overnight. Prepare to give the prince's army on the day of the reactivation of the prince's army. Even if this is just Zhu Lian's personal behavior, there are many hidden contents behind it! At least, this shows the official family's recognition of the prince's pro-army.
"In the past two days, Zhushufu can be regarded as lively."
"Oh?"
Zhu Meng said with a smile: "Many people in the DPRK have sent people to inquire about the date of the reorganization of the prince's army.
Yanai also complained to me. More and more people have invited him to eat and drink these days, and the ultimate goal. They all hope to join the prince's army, which makes him very troubled. But in my opinion, this rammer is happy and quite happy. β
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning.
I think it's some children of official eunuchs, and they also want to join the prince's army......
However, with Gao Yaoqing's cleverness of the little fox, he will not spit easily.
Thinking about it, after Gao Yu lifted the siege of Kaifeng, he resigned as the lieutenant of the former capital of the palace, and Gao Yaoqing became more careful in doing things. How to deal with those children of officials and eunuchs, I think Gao Yaoqing has an account in his heart.
Yu Yin didn't need to worry about this, so he laughed and said, "At this time, I will leave it to Yanai to manage."
Saburo needs to prepare the roster as soon as possible, and when my body and bones have recovered a little, I will report it to the prince, with a view to completing the formation of the prince's army as soon as possible.
Boyu had the talent to unify the army, so he succumbed to the post of deputy leader of the Zhurate Mansion, and handled the reorganization of the prince's pro-army with San Lang.
Now Jin Qing's injuries are not healed, and I am also sick in bed. The reorganization of the pro-army matter, so I asked Boyu to bother and work hard. β
When Zhang Xi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
stepped forward and bowed down and sang: "Please rest assured that the end will live up to the trust of the staff." β
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The formation of the prince's pro-army quietly kicked off.
Yu Yin didn't bother too much about this matter, and Zhu Mengshu and others were responsible for everything. The required soldiers don't have to be too difficult. Gao Yaoqing transferred 300 Jun Rongzhi from the front division of the palace, plus 800 under Zhang Xi, and 300 soldiers from the Di Ma battalion, which has exceeded 1,000 people. Yao Pingzhong's side was also very happy, and he took out 800 elite cavalry from the Ma Jun Division of the guards and gave them to Yuyin. At the same time, the Breeder Dao ordered someone to transfer another 500 good horses from the Heavenly Prison and give them to Yuyin as a gift. With these two bigwigs in the army as examples, Zhu Mengshu and others had no obstacles in selecting soldiers, and quickly formed a team of 3,000 soldiers and horses, and under the leadership of Zhang Xi, began to practice.
For Yu Yin, everything seemed to be going very smoothly......
Time passed inadvertently, and before I knew it, it was almost the end of February.
Yuyin ushered in another piece of good news, Liu Qing and Li Dayin's westbound caravan returned from Xizhou. Brought back a lot of wealth.
Guanyin Lane Jade Mansion is being expanded.
With the improvement of Yu Yin's status, the original mansion became a little small.
Fortunately, Yu Yin bought seventy percent of the land in Guanyin Lane at a low price, which also gave him enough space for expansion.
At the end of February, under the persuasion of everyone, Yuyin agreed to expand on the original foundation, and Guanyin Lane immediately broke ground.
It turned out that all those houses were demolished. Re-design the design.
For this. Yannu also specially invited a master to explore feng shui and design it. The whole project will take about three months to complete. Anyway, Kaifeng has a lot of small workers who are idle. The salary is not too high, and the entire project costs only 7,000 yuan. For Yu Yin, it's nothing. It's just that due to the start of construction on Guanyin Lane, Yuyin had to temporarily move out of Guanyin Lane. I found a vacant house near the West Water Gate as a place to stay.
After Liu Qing and the others returned to Kaifeng, they soon came to the door.
"Outside, this time it's going to be big, it's big!"
Liu Qing looked very excited, and shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door.
Yu Yin smiled and said, "How can the big officials lose their temper? How did you get a big deal again? β
Liu Qing calmed down and smiled. He sat down with Li Dayin and explained in detail with Yuyin the harvest of this westward trip.
Today, Xizhou is indeed short of materials.
The grain and grass materials sent by Liu Qing and others were like charcoal in the snow, which made Yelu Yu Liyan very happy.
She even personally summoned Liu Qing and others and praised them a lot. Yu Liyan told Liu Qing and Li Dayin that she would ensure that the trade routes between the two in Xizhou were unimpeded. It is also hoped that trade will be strengthened.
A large number of grain and grass materials in exchange for rich returns.
At the same time, Yu Liyan also wrote a letter and asked Liu Qing to bring it to Yuyin.
In the letter, Yu Liyan told Yu Yin. She agrees with Yu Yin's previous plan to exchange weapons for armor. and expressed his willingness to coordinate with the Western Xia to assist in trade. The content of the letter is simple. But Yu Yin can see the deep longing hidden in it.
Yu Liyan hinted at Yu Yin that he hoped that he could go to Xizhou as a guest in his spare time.
Yu Yin read the letter and didn't say anything, just put it away and put it in his arms.
"Two big officials, what are the benefits of this westward trip?"
"Xiao Di had roughly calculated on the way that if you don't count the goods to be sold to the southeast, the income of this trip will be about 400,000 yuan. When all the goods in Lao Li's hands are sold, it should be around 700,000 yuan. β
When Yu Yin heard this, he was startled.
700,000?
In just a few months, 700,000 yuan of income?
Yu Yin invested 100,000 guan in it, that is, after removing the principal, he will get nearly 200,000 guan.
Such a huge benefit made Yu Yin speechless.
No wonder Liu Qingming knew that going west was very risky, but he still remembered it.
Li Dayin said: "Xiaodi will leave for Hangzhou tomorrow and start to deal with the goods in his hands."
But I don't know, what are the next plans for the staff? This trip to the west was a success, when should we do it next? β
"Liu Daguan, what do you think?"
Liu Qing said: "This time, thanks to the outside team's planning, it can be said that the journey was smooth.
Xiao Bottom thought about striking while the iron was hot and increasing the intensity. But I don't know ......"
Today's Yuyin is no longer a little person that Liu Qing and Li Dayin can fiddle with.
More importantly, from this trip to the west, the two of them saw Yu Yin's huge energy in Xizhou.
Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "Increase the intensity, it is self-right, I have no opinion."
The next time I make a transaction, I'll still invest 100,000 yuan. The 200,000 yuan of this income will be sent as soon as possible, and it will be of great use to me. In addition, I agreed with the old breeder that the Luoyang breeder would also participate in the future. There is also the Guozhang side, who is also quite interested in this, I estimate that the two of them can contribute about 300,000 yuan, and you can arrange it as you like.
In addition, now I also have some friendship with the Yao family of Wuyuan.
The Mobei Trade Road cannot be ignored, and I am thinking about how to open the Mobei Trade Road...... Liu Daguan has been to Mobei, and he is no stranger to it. I might as well make a charter and make a decision as soon as possible. This transaction was very successful, but the next transaction will get bigger and bigger, and you two should prepare early...... I hope that the next time the caravan leaves, it will be before the beginning of summer. In this case, you can return before the winter, I wonder what you two think? β
When Liu Qing and Li Dayin heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, looked at Yu Yin, and didn't know how to answer for a while!
