Chapter 248: Fang Xuanling's Plan
(Thank you for the support of Profyellow and White Fat Man, thank you!) )
A few days have passed since the Three Dynasties banquet of Yi Feng's two sons, but the major high-end inns in Huaihuang are still full of people who want to wait to meet Yi Feng. Among these waiting people are not only wealthy businessmen from all over the world, but also many officials from surrounding states and counties, as well as wealthy parents from many places. They came here to get a glimpse of Yi Shuai, who is now famous outside the Saiwai.
When Fang Xuanling stayed in the White Horse Inn for the seventh day, he finally waited for the White Tiger Terrace guards to come and summon him. Three handsome young men entered the inn lobby with steady steps, they were wearing navy blue lapel leather coats, nailed to them with two rows of gold copper buckles, and a black otter skin coat draped over their shoulders, a pair of knee-length high-top leather boots under their feet were shiny, and the heels of the leather boots were decorated with shiny silver spurs, and the leather boots struck the ground with a sound as they walked, accompanied by the crisp sound of spurs. Each of the three of them had a slender ring-headed sword hanging from their waists, but the ring on the hilt of the sword was replaced by a golden bear. The trio wore a peculiar brimmed hat on their heads, and the brim of the shiny black fur hat depicted a white tiger with a shield and halberd, which seemed to match their outfits better than the hats that were common in the Huai Wilderness. Even their trousers are no longer so fat that they need to be tied between their knees, and although their trouser legs are still a little fat, they are much thinner than before, especially the two red lines on the outer edges of the two trouser legs, which make these soldiers seem to be more upright.
The three of them stepped into the hall, and the lobby of the originally noisy White Horse Inn suddenly fell silent.
"Who are these?" Someone asked carefully. seems to be oppressed by the momentum of the three people, and even the voice is much quieter. Someone next to him also whispered back, "It must be Yi Shuai's soldiers." A certain can be regarded as having seen a lot of the world in the north and south, but if you want to say that this soldier, it is the most majestic and mighty soldier in our wilderness. Someone next to him immediately sneered, "You are obviously a Guanzhong guy, what are you doing." The merchant in Guanzhong immediately blushed and whispered, "Lao Tzu just bought a shop in the West Market a few days ago, and bought a house in the East City. According to Huaihuang's agreement, I am already a native of Huaihuang. Damn, there was no one in this wilderness. It's not all from all over the Central Plains, don't be a local to Lao Tzu, you go up for a few days, aren't your ancestors the border prisoners of Huaihuang Town in the Northern Wei Dynasty who were sent from the Central Plains to Huaihuang. What's the big deal. ”
A few merchants quarreled quietly there. Soon they all became a pot of porridge. A gorgeously dressed businessman snorted impatiently, "Noisy bird, who is going to tell So-and-so what the origin of these three soldiers is, why has So-and-so never seen them before?" ”
Several businessmen who were fighting hard had a bad look when they heard that, but when they turned around and saw that it was Zhang Qilang, a big businessman from Hedong, who was talking, they all had to shut up. This Zhang Qilang is the nearest luxury guest in this White Horse Inn, and he has a good yard and is generous. It is said to be from Taiyuan, Hedong. It is a frosting business, and the Zhang family has always sent people to Huaihuang to get the goods in the past. This time, Zhang Qilang came to Huaihuang in person, it is said that he wanted to see Yi Shuai, and wanted to get more Huaihuang rock candy and snow sugar from Huaihuang. However, although this person is not small and generous, he has lived in this White Horse Inn for a month, but he has not been able to see Yi Dashuai until now.
Now Zhang Qilang tried his best to see Yi Shuai, and he couldn't even touch the door of the Shuai's mansion. As soon as I saw these three samurai who were so well-dressed and mighty, my eyes immediately lit up.
"Zhang Qilang, these three soldiers seem to be the guards next to Yi Shuai." A businessman who was also in Hedong immediately stepped forward to sell it and said to Zhang Qilang, he knew that Zhang Qilang's extraordinary net worth had a great influence in Hedong, and he was just a small trader, who originally lived in the same inn and wanted to have a relationship but never had a chance, but now the opportunity was sent to the door, and he immediately stepped forward without hesitation. "Oh, the guards around Yi Shuai turned out to be in this outfit?" Zhang Qilang said suspiciously.
"Actually, I only learned some news from a friend yesterday, it is said that Yi Dashuai has built a new chamber since the triumph, of which there are three rooms, among which the guard room is dedicated to Yi Shuai's guard attendants. These guards wearing new big caps and navy blue fur furs are the newly selected guards who were transferred to the guard room, and it is said that all of them are warriors who have made great military achievements in the north this time, and each of them is a good man who has seen blood with a knife head and can fight ten against one, and he is proficient in everything. The total number of such guards is only eight hundred. Unexpectedly, three of them came to the White Horse Inn today, and it seems that the guy with good luck is about to be summoned by the handsome. ”
This little businessman's news is indeed very well-informed, and the three cap guards are all the guards of the young guards in the two rooms and three guards of Yi Feng's newly established chamber of the chamber, which is equivalent to the emperor's Praetorian Guard and the Central Garrison Regiment, and they are all young and brave loyal soldiers who have experienced several battles. And the entire attendant room is actually Yi Feng's direct office. It is equivalent to a simplified shogun shogunate that is one size smaller. Just as the Qing Dynasty had a large military aircraft department, and those small Zhangjing were also called small military aircraft offices, Yi Feng's attendant room was actually equivalent to a streamlined staff group, providing Yi Feng with behind-the-scenes support anytime and anywhere. Originally, Yi Feng had a great shogunate by his side and had a large staff team, but the staff of the shogunate also held important positions in both Wuzhou and the Wuzhou army. During the last battle in the north, Yi Feng already had a group of soldiers, clerks, and translators who followed him to deal with all kinds of letters and official documents. After the triumph, Yi Feng simply used this group of people as the basis to establish a new institutional attendant room. The chamber of attendants belonged directly to the shogunate, but in fact it fully performed the functions of the shogunate.
The full-time guard price attendant of the guard room, with a scale of 800 young guards. There are also 1, 2 and 3 attendants, as well as the counselor's room. He is in charge of military and intelligence affairs, and is Yi Feng's military and intelligence adviser. The second service department deals with the government affairs and business of Huaihuang. The third service department is engaged in supervision, assessment and other businesses. The Counsellor's Office specializes in some specific strategic issues for Yifeng's reference, and is a think tank organization.
There are not too many people. However, the two rooms and three departments involve various aspects such as military, political, business, intelligence, supervision, and assessment, and it is not an exaggeration to call it Yi Feng's assistant team.
"Huai'an County ordered Fang Mingfu to be available, and Li Shunwen, the head of the guard in the Shuaifu's attendant room, came to invite Fang Mingfu to the Shuaifu by the order of the marshal." The tall guard of the Guards said loudly.
Fang Xuanling's entourage had already run to the courtyard behind to sue him, Fang Xuanling put down the hardcover version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms printed by Huaihuang Bookstore that he had just read much, and a slight smile appeared on his face. After waiting for so many days, he finally made him wait. His staff looked at their lord with some concern. He knew that his young employer had the audacity to pass off a fake that he had written as a treasure of 100,000 yuan. The Shuaifu sent someone to summon the lord to the Shuaifu at this time, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing.
"Don't worry. If that Yi Dashuai really came to me because of that fake word, he wouldn't have waited until now. Fang Xuanling wasn't worried at all, "Mr. put away the few folds that he had prepared these days and bring them, and he will definitely be able to use them later." ”
Fang Xuanling and Mr. Staff and two entourages came out. As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw the three tall young guards. The three of them had the momentum of a hundred battles, which made Fang Xuanling marvel at a glance, compared to the Wuzhou soldiers he saw a few days ago, the three in front of him were on a higher level in terms of image and momentum.
"Yi Shuai is invited, Fang Mingfu, please come with so!" Li Xiuwen recognized at a glance the guy who dared to take ten yuan of fake goods and pretend to be one hundred thousand treasures to deceive the handsome, and said in a somewhat cold tone.
"The handsome man called, Fang Mou was very honored. Please lead the way in front of the three tiger heads. Fang Xuanling smiled slightly.
White Tiger Terrace, inside the White Tiger Hall. Yi Feng and Fang Xuanling had a formal meeting for the first time, both of them smiled slightly, Yi Feng deliberately stepped down from the tiger seat and came to the door to greet him, Fang Xuanling had a hint of surprise in his eyes that could not be concealed, but his face was very good, and he maintained calmness.
"Brother Xuanling, the talented son of the Fang family in Licheng, has heard of the name for a long time, and I will finally see it today, and I will be fortunate to meet it." Yi Feng stepped forward to salute. Fang Xuanling saw that Yi Feng was so polite, and replied with a smile: "I heard that Yi Shuai has also gone to Hedong Wen Neutron Teacher many times to listen to classes, but unfortunately we have not been able to meet, it's a pity." It's an honor to see the handsome man today. ”
After some polite words, the guests and hosts sat down, accompanied by Wei Zheng and many other Huaihuang civil and military officers.
Fang Xuanling didn't be polite either, and said directly the purpose of his request to see Yi Feng.
His purpose is also very simple, to put it bluntly, he wants to cooperate with Huaihuang, and to put it simply, he wants to attract investment from Yifeng. Fang Xuanling is the new commander of Huai'an County, Huai'an, which is the state seat of Yanzhou, but the entire Yanzhou is newly established. Originally, this area belonged to Northern Yanzhou, but in the early years of the Great War of Qi and Zhou, coupled with the invasion of the Northern Turks when they were strong, this area at the intersection of the three major mountain ranges of Yinshan, Yanshan, and Taishan has long been withered, and the already small population has long been withdrawn to Daizhou in Hedong and Youzhou in Hebei. Although this place is still within the Great Wall, in fact, this crossroads between the inner Great Wall and the outer Great Wall has been abandoned for many years. After Yi Feng reorganized in Huaihuang, Huaihuang changed from a bandit den to a trading bazaar between the Central Plains and the grassland and other forces, especially the many hot-selling exclusive commodities made by Yi Feng make this place more and more prosperous.
Huaihuang prospered and lived, and Guannei Fuzhou, which is close to the south of Huaihuang, naturally got better. But this kind of good is still visible, and the biggest trouble is that it is only doing passing business, but there is a lack of population. In a state, there are no more than 1,000 registered households, and although there are always tens of thousands of people, most of them are floating populations. The situation in Huai'an County is exactly like this, the county seat is still a little popular, but it is more like an inn, as soon as you get out of the city gate, there can still be merchant convoys on the road, but on both sides of the road, it is full of barren grass and forests, and there is not even a shadow of a village, let alone the cultivation of grain fields.
Fang Xuanling is a newly appointed young county magistrate with ambitions and wants to be, and of course he doesn't want to just come to Huai'an, a frontier where the north wind blows for a few years, and then go back. Since you are here, you have to make political achievements. And what are the achievements? For a small county order, the government decree is an increase in household registration, an increase in the number of acres of land, an increase in taxes, and good public order. But to do these things, it is really difficult for Huai'an today.
Fang Xuanling has no start-up capital, and second, no manpower. So after thinking about it, he still ran to the prosperous Huaihuang and came to find Yi Feng to cooperate.
Yi Feng carefully read a cooperation plan made by Fang Xuanling himself, and the one in his hand should only be the first step in the cooperation plan. Fang Xuanling is not the kind of utopian who has no practical work ability, and his plan is still very realistic. In response to the problem that Huaihuang is becoming more and more prosperous and the population is growing, but Huaihuang does not produce food locally, Fang Xuanling put forward his own cooperation plan.
"Yi Shuai, Huaihuang is located on the dam, which is the grassland Xunzi forest terrain, which is an arid climate, and is not suitable for growing food. But Huaihuang has more than 400,000 people, so many people, the daily consumption of food is a huge number, this qiē is all transported from the Central Plains, it is too difficult. First, the freight is extremely expensive and consumes a lot, and second, after all, the grain is all dependent on being transported from Jianghuai, which is really dangerous. Therefore, Xiaguan has a win-win cooperation plan here. Huai'an is not suitable for farming, but we Huai'an is located in the Guannei, Zengnei is the Sanggan River and other rivers, the perennial clear water is continuous, along the banks of the river is more flat and fertile plains since ancient times, and the annual rainfall is also sufficient, although not as rainy as Jianghuai, but there is no problem at all to grow food. Our Huai'an County is willing to give out the land, and Yi Shuai is responsible for recruiting the people to hoard land in Huai'an and cultivate it, so that the land in Huai'an is no longer barren, and the county can also collect money and grain taxes for the imperial court. And Dashuai no longer has to put all the food needs in the distant Jianghuai land, and can have food output at the doorstep and can supply it at any time, so isn't it a win-win situation? ”
Fang Xuanling's eloquence is good, and the explanation of the whole plan is quite tempting.
Fang Xuanling wants political achievements, but he wants money and no money, but he sees Yi Feng's demand for food, and Yi Feng has money, so he goes out of the land, Yi Feng comes out of people, so that Yi Feng gets grain, and Fang Xuanling gets taxes, of course, after the fields are reclaimed, Huai'an will definitely be lively, and then there will be a qiē. Although there are many things to be done in the future, this first step is really accurate.
Yi Feng smiled: "Brother Xuanling, this is to borrow chickens to lay eggs!" Honestly, this is a good plan, but there's a problem, I don't have any extra people under me right now! ”
