Chapter 15: Family Matters (I)
Family affairs can be described as complicated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The dense documents on the desk were all transferred from the Great Elder's office to his study last night to wait for him to deal with.
Before the Grand Elder transferred the documents to his study, he had reviewed them and written down his own opinions.
If he hadn't dealt with it today, the guards of the Yang Mansion would have returned them tomorrow to the children of the Yang Mansion who had written these documents or to the many civil and military officials attached to the Yang Mansion, and they would naturally follow the advice of the Great Elder.
Slowly picking up the top note, Yang Shen read it carefully.
This is a document from a military general attached to the Yang family asking the Yang family on how to deal with other families.
This general belongs to the marginal figure of the Yang family's forces, and has very little contact with the Yang family on weekdays, and almost no one will think that he is the Yang family, so he will be attracted by one of the three major lords in the near future, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he wrote to ask the Yang family.
Yang Shen's review is simple: euphemistically refuse.
Faithfulness does not stand the test.
The Yang family did not invest too much in this general, his ability was only average, and it was not worthy of the Yang Mansion's careful cultivation.
This general is still loyal to the Yang family, which does not mean that he will always be loyal to the Yang family. After being co-opted by the eldest grandson family for a long time, he may feel that the eldest grandson family takes a very high opinion of him, far from being comparable to the Yang family's attitude towards him. If the Changsun clan is willing to pay him more than the treatment given by the Yang Mansion, maybe he will secretly take refuge in the Changsun clan.
Therefore, to prevent the slightest slight, Yang Shen had to cut off this possibility at the beginning.
He said lightly, "Where is the dark guard?" ”
A faint figure seemed to float out of Yang Shen's shadow: "Please command, the Lord." “
Ye Lingbo raised his head, glanced at the man, and then reimmersed himself in the book.
This person was one of the six breaths that she had just sensed, and with her superhuman spiritual sense, she had naturally clearly sensed that he had come to the study one step ahead of them, but he hadn't revealed it.
Yang Shen handed the note to this person: "Send someone to pay attention, if there is any dissent in the person, report it." ”
The man answered yes, took the note in his hand, and disappeared in a flash.
For such peripheral members of the family, because the Yang family has invested too little in them, they don't know the secrets of the Yang family, so although the Yang family is unwilling to see them betray, it will prevent this from happening to a certain extent, but if they really want to turn their backs on the Yang family, it is not worth the Yang family to make a big deal about it, let alone send someone to assassinate them. Most of them write down their behavior in a small book in their hearts, or as an idle move, they may be able to use it in the future to give the eldest grandson, or if they have a better opportunity in the future, they will be disposed of.
Yang Shen said to Ye Lingbo: "Madam, the person who appeared just now is the leader of my Yang family, who is called the head of the secret guard, and they are the ones who inquire about the news and do some private things. ”
Ye Lingbo nodded: "I understand, the Ye family also has this kind of person." ”
Yang Shen smiled and said, "Well, Madam doesn't know, there are still a lot of things they do, wait for me to tell you slowly." ”
Regarding the matter of the "dark guard", he told Ye Lingbo eloquently.
Spying on messages. Doing things like spreading rumors, assassinations, etc., is just the basics.
The Yang family will continue to remember some poor scholars who they think have a future for development, and some of these people may have extraordinary achievements in the future, and some of the core strength of the Yang family today comes from this.
The ones who do this kind of thing are the "Secret Assistants" department in the Secret Guard, they are distributed all over the world, and the members often rotate in various places, and their vision is trustworthy, even if the people they sponsor are not rich and noble, they can often make achievements in a certain field, and they will also be helpful to the Yang family in the future.
In addition, they will also sponsor some extremely poor ordinary people regardless of the gains and losses, and take over a good relationship with them.
Every year, the Yang family collects some orphans abandoned by their families in various places, and the Yang family will foster these orphans in the homes of ordinary people who have received their help.
These orphans will be paid for by the Yang Mansion for their growth, and when they grow up to the age of five or six, the local Yang family will gather together in the name of the academy to cultivate them, instill in them the kindness of the Yang Mansion to them, and the seeds of loyalty to the Yang Mansion will be planted in them at a young age.
When they grow up, they are often diehard loyalists of the Yang Mansion. And because their identities are secret, it is not easy for people to detect the connection with the Yang family, so there are no hidden dangers for them to do many things that the Yang family wants to do but are inconvenient for them to do.
In the court, in the army, and in the shopping mall, these people are the greatest strength hidden in the secret by the Yang family, and they are of great help to the Yang family.
After listening to Yang Shen's narration, Ye Lingbo let out an "oh", his little head swayed slightly, and his appearance was very cute.
Yang Shen stared at her in a daze, and Ye Lingbo realized how attractive his appearance was, and said with a slight annoyance: "Do your thing!" ”
Yang Shen smiled and went to look at the document again.
Ye Lingbo knew that if the Yang family's secret guard power was exposed to the eyes of the royal family and other families, it would definitely be a major blow to the Yang family.
Those families don't need to know the specific personnel of the secret guards at all, they even need to know the existence of the secret assistance department, and know the hidden strength of the Yang family represented by the orphans who were hidden in the court and the army, and follow the clues left by the Yang family and these people in the military and political forces over the years, they will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Yang family.
For Yang Shenken to tell himself such an important thing about the Yang family, Ye Lingbo was very happy in his heart.
How could she know that in Yang Shen's heart, her status was still above the Yang family.
Where she is, there is a "home".
Without Ye Lingbo's wife by his side, even if he is the head of the Yang family, a super gate valve, and holds monstrous authority, what is the meaning of him as a traverser lost in a foreign land?
These documents can be roughly divided into court, military, business, and family affairs.
The children cultivated by the Yang family who can enter the court, but those who can stand firm can basically handle their own affairs. Most of the documents they sent were reports. What happened in the court, which officials they befriended today, what they said, and everything that they thought was valuable happened around them would report to the Yang Mansion.
Of course, if they encounter trouble that they can't solve on their own, they will also choose to ask the Yang Mansion for help. For example, if he wants to compete with others for an official position, he needs the help of the Yang family.
This is because in today's Great Chu court, the positions of civil officials and generals are almost all held by the family lords, and the children of the commoners have almost no entry ranks, which also makes the contradiction between the commoners and the aristocracy in society more and more great. Of course, as long as the people can live, they will not rise up.
