"My lord, that young man is awake!"

Sun Dayong ran into the door and said with a happy face.

Hearing Sun Dayong's words, everyone put down the wine glasses in their hands, Yang Yingqian waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue, and he and Sun Dayong went over to see the situation, after Yang Yingqian left, Xie Shangzheng took over Yang Yingqian and continued to drink with Tang Ruowang, and the priest Nan Huairen was already too drunk at this time, and he was lying on the table unconscious.

Even though Yang Yingqian drank a good amount of wine and drank with a few people for two or three hours, his footsteps were a little erratic at this time.

The young man was temporarily arranged by Sun Dayong to be in the wing room in the backyard, Yang Yingqian pushed open the door and walked into the room, a strong smell of gold sore medicine came to his face, and there were still clumps of gauze covered with blood stains scattered on the ground.

"Brother Ye, my family has come to see you!" Sun Dayong said to the young man who was lying on the bed.

"Villain Ye Changqing, thank you for saving your life!"

When Ye Changqing woke up, Sun Dayong had already told him that the person who saved him was Yongningwei's Tongzhi, he thought he was a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect to be so young, and when he saw his life-saving benefactor coming to visit him, Ye Changqing hurriedly stood up and was about to get out of bed to salute.

Seeing his weak appearance, Yang Yingqian hurriedly took a few steps forward and held Ye Changqing down.

"Don't move, the wound on your body is very serious, so I'm afraid the wound will collapse!"

Pressing Ye Changqing back on the bed and lying down, Sun Dayong brought a brocade stool from the side and put it behind Yang Yingqian, and Yang Yingqian took the opportunity to sit on the side of Ye Changqing's bed.

"Ye Shaoxia, why were you hunted down by those people that day, is it your enemy?"

Hearing Yang Yingqian's question, Ye Changqing sighed slightly, and there was some sadness in his eyes, as if he remembered something he didn't want to recall.

"The villain was originally from Caozhou, Shandong, and since he was a child, he followed his master to learn art in Tushan, and last month a person who claimed to be the protector of the Wenxiang Sect came to my master and asked us to disband the sect to join them in a big event, my master knew that they were not good, and he did not want to be an enemy of the imperial court, so he sternly rejected him!"

Speaking of this, a few lines of tears overflowed in Ye Changqing's eyes.

"I didn't expect them to see that my master did not obey, so they gathered a group of people and horses to attack our mountain gate all night, our blood sword gate is a small sect, has always been indisputable with the world, but I didn't expect to suffer this catastrophe, more than 20 people from the sect were all slaughtered, I escaped a catastrophe because of going down the mountain to buy, but they chased all the way here, fortunately met adults, only to save a life."

Speaking of this, Ye Changqing sighed heavily.

After listening to Ye Changqing's description, Yang Yingqian's brows couldn't help but lock tightly in one place, the Smelling Fragrance Sect in Ye Changqing's mouth should belong to a branch of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect has a long history, and has been spread among the people since the Tang and Song dynasties, originating from the Pure Land sect of Buddhism. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Kunshan monk Cizhao founded the White Lotus Sect on the basis of the popular Pure Land Association, which was the White Lotus Sect in later generations.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court strictly forbade the White Lotus Sect. Hongwu, Yongle and Shandong broke out many times in the armed rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, although they were all suppressed in the end. However, there are still remnants of iniquity that have wandered around the country and established various branch sects, and this Smelling Fragrance Sect is one of them.

Like this kind of cult, they talk about "vacuum hometown, no old mother" all day long. Rebellion is commonplace, whoever is in power will oppose whom, when the Song Dynasty is in the Song Dynasty, he is against the Song Dynasty, when the Yuan Dynasty is in the Yuan Dynasty, he will oppose the Yuan Dynasty, and when the old Zhu family sits in the world, he will jump out against the Zhu family.

Now that the eastern border of Daming Liao is in serious trouble, if the backyard is burned by the Smelling Fragrance Sect again, it will really be impossible to clean up.

However, at present, he can't take care of Shandong so far, and although the 800 soldiers in the guard post have been trained a little, 800 people are still too few.

Yang Yingqian patted Ye Changqing on the shoulder: "I will report the situation you said to the commander and the commander of the department, and go to the Fujian Metropolitan Division." These days, you take care of your injuries first, and then take care of the rest of the matter. ”

After comforting Ye Changqing again, Yang Yingqian took Sun Dayong out of Ye Changqing's room.

Standing in the courtyard and looking at the moon in the sky, Yang Yingqian suddenly felt that the wine was a little upsurged, thinking about the current situation of the guard, and couldn't help but say to himself: "In the end, eight hundred people are still too few, too few!" ”

Sun Dayong, who was standing behind Yang Yingqian, heard this, and seemed to have something to say, hesitated for a long time, and finally took a few steps forward.

"I don't know if the adults are embarrassed by the number of soldiers in the guard, if the adults want to make up for the lack of the guard, I don't know if the small one has a plan."

Yang Yingqian suddenly became interested, turned to look at Sun Dayong and asked him to listen.

It turned out that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu created an unprecedented hereditary household registration system for the convenience of national management, and divided the people of the world into artisan households, military households, civilian households, etc., and all kinds of hereditary occupations of household registration cannot be changed, so that when the country needs it, it can be levied in a short time according to the household registration to collect the required personnel.

The officers and soldiers of the guard house are hereditary military households, the sons of military households have been soldiers for generations, and the sons of officers have been officers for generations, and Yang Yingqian's own official position is also in this way.

However, there are exceptions, this kind of hereditary military household can often only be inherited by one son, and many families often have two or more sons, so that only the eldest son can be hereditary household registration, and the remaining Ding Kou is called "Yu Ding", and can only fend for himself.

Sun Dayong's idea was to recruit these remnants by recruiting soldiers to fill the shortage of soldiers in Yongningwei, in fact, this kind of recruitment system was not new in this dynasty, and the Qi family army of Megatron adopted the recruitment system.

However, one of the biggest drawbacks of this method is that it costs money, the livelihood of the guards mainly depends on Tuntian, and the recruitment of soldiers has to use real money, Sun Dayong can't figure out Yang Yingqian's thoughts, so he didn't dare to speak at the beginning.

After hearing Sun Dayong's idea, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but pause, raised his hand and patted Sun Dayong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Dayong, I haven't found out before, you are really a talent!" Sun Dayong was stunned, and was a little embarrassed by this sudden compliment.

At this moment, at this time, the old housekeeper Yang Fu hurried back from Lingyan Pavilion, he had watched Yang Yingqian grow up since he was a child, and he had a deep feeling, and he really missed the young master in his heart after not seeing him for more than a month.

So after learning the news of the young master's return to the house, he hurried back after handling the business at hand, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the young master patting Sun Dayong's shoulder and laughing.

Yang Yingqian also saw Yang Fu who came at this time, so he walked up to Yang Fu and asked with a smile: "Uncle Yang, you came just in time, how is our tobacco business progressing during this time?" ”

Yang Fu heard Yang Yingqian's question, and hurriedly took out a thick account book from his sleeve.

"The old slave is in a hurry to return from the store, and he also wants to tell the young master about the current situation, our tobacco business has been going very smoothly in the past few months, except for the expenses such as hiring cigarette workers, the old slave roughly estimates that we will make a profit of 35,000 taels of silver in just the first month."

Yang Fu lowered his head and looked at the account book carefully, for fear of missing a line.

"In the second month, according to the recipe provided by the young master, we launched mint-flavored and herb-flavored tobacco, and the profit directly doubled, so the rough and rough total, these three months ......."

Yang Fu flipped through the ledger back and forth again to confirm it.

"A total of 155,000 taels of silver!"

Although he had long known that tobacco was very profitable, Yang Yingqian was still taken aback when he heard Yang Fu report the specific amount. But then came ecstasy, so that the start-up capital for the recruitment was enough.

Immediately, Yang Yingqian turned his head and said to Sun Dayong: "Dayong, go to the front hall and invite Master Xie and a few of them here, and work overtime tonight!" ”

"My lord, at this time, Lord Xie and a few of them may have been drunk!" Sun Dayong sneered.

"Then get a bucket of well water to splash them up, and tomorrow, I will post a recruitment list in the health office!"
