October 21
A team of thousands of people under the banner of "Ye" slowly entered the city under the warm welcome of Fengzhou officials.
Because Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang, was a man who would do anything to achieve his goals and his methods were very sinister and sinister. Therefore, in order to prevent his revenge, Ye Mingsheng also brought his mother Ye Cui and others to live in Fengzhou. Song Wenhui was left with an empty Ye Mansion...
After settling his soldiers and meeting the local officials in Fengzhou, Ye Mingsheng immediately found Dong Jiangchuan, the big shopkeeper of Dalongchang Company in Fengzhou City.
Dong Jiangchuan is An Zirong's confidant and is fully responsible for everything An Zirong does in Fengzhou. He is also the contact person left by An Zirong to Ye Mingsheng.
"I've met Mr. Ye!"
Entering the study room of the General Military Mansion, Dong Jiangchuan, a tall and handsome man, bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:
Looking at Dong Jiangchuan's face, which was no more than thirty years old, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised. The annual trade volume of Fengzhou Trading Road was at least six figures, and An Zhirong could trust Dong Jiangchuan to run it. This was really Very bold...
Ye Mingsheng waved his hand, and Ye Dong immediately moved a chair for Dong Jianchuan.
"Shopkeeper Dong, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for the seat!"
Although he was sitting on a chair, Dong Jianchuan's sitting posture was very respectful. His body and face were slightly leaning forward and his buttocks were only slightly sitting on the chair.
"Shop Manager Dong, time is running out, so I'll just open the skylight and tell the truth. How much money has the third master prepared for me this time?
Staring at Dong Jianchuan, Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
According to the original agreement between Ye Mingsheng and An Zhirong in Luo'an, An Zhirong would give Ye Mingsheng 10,000 taels every year, including a down payment of 3,000 taels, an additional two thousand taels when he arrived in Fengshan County to recruit troops, and an additional five thousand taels when he finally arrived in Fengzhou to fulfill his obligations. Thousand taels.
But the agreement is the agreement, the reality is the reality!
Today is different from the past!
At first, Ye Mingsheng was just a military attache in name only in Luo'an, but now Ye Mingsheng is the commander-in-chief with real power in charge of an army of 7,000 people!
The most important thing is that after arriving in Liaoyang, Ye Mingsheng has never forgotten the task assigned to him by An Zhirong...
After many inquiries, Ye Mingsheng has now roughly understood the size of An Zhirong's caravan and how profitable his business is. This makes Ye Mingsheng no longer satisfied with the initial share of 10,000 taels!
Yes, Ye Mingsheng wanted more, and he who provided protection for An Zhirong's caravan deserved more!
As his team expanded, Ye Mingsheng also needed more money. Being from the earth, he had a lot of money-making ideas, and he was just waiting to own a piece of his own territory so that he could turn them into reality. But here Before, Ye Mingsheng also needed a large amount of start-up capital.
Ye Mingsheng made no secret of his desire for money. During several exchanges of letters with An Zhirong, he mentioned the matter to An Zhirong without hesitation.
An Zhirong's reaction to this was a bit vague, and he kept trying to shirk Ye Mingsheng, saying that he would wait until Ye Mingsheng arrived in Fengzhou.
And now that Ye Mingsheng has led his troops to Fengzhou, he is not prepared to delay this issue any longer with An Zhirong...
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's sharp eyes like an eagle, Dong Jiangchuan said directly without any hesitation:
"There are ten thousand taels of silver in Dalongchang's treasury, all of which can be given to General Ye!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this, without the slightest hint of joy. According to the original plan, An Zhirong should give him another five thousand taels when he arrived in Fengzhou!
And he, Mr. Ye, who has put in so much effort now, doesn’t just want an extra five thousand taels of silver...
Seeing the unhappy look on Ye Mingsheng's face, Dong Jianchuan continued:
"The third master asked me to tell Mr. Ye that with the size of your current men, these ten thousand taels of silver are enough for you to spend for a while. The third master asked me to tell you, don't be greedy!"
Ye Mingsheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Just when he was about to have a seizure, he heard Dong Jianchuan's voice changed again and said:
"But Third Master said that if Mr. Ye is really short of money, he can take tens of thousands of taels. After all, the whole Luo'an knows that Third Master is the most generous to his family. of!"
Hearing the word "family", a strange color flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes. After pondering for a while, he asked Dong Jianchuan again:
"Third Master, what do you mean by this?"
Dong Jianchuan smiled slightly when he heard this and said:
"Master Ye is not young now. I wonder if he has ever thought about this important event in life?"
Seeing that Dong Jianchuan really meant this, Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised. He didn't know what kind of medicine An Zhirong bought in the gourd.
If he remembered correctly, An Zhirong had several daughters, but the oldest was only nine years old, not yet old enough to get married. If it wasn't his own daughter, who would An Zirong introduce to him... ··········
After careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng said very carefully:
"In the past few years, Ye has been fighting all over the country and has never had the energy to distract himself from other things. Now that he has settled down, he has not met the right person!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's answer, Dong Jiangchuan smiled again and said meaningfully:
"The third master's niece is still a virgin..."
Ye Mingsheng was stunned when he heard this. When he mentioned An Zhirong's niece, the name of the woman who had the reincarnation of Bao Si and brought disaster to the country and the people naturally came to mind!
But even though he thought so, Ye Mingsheng felt that the possibility was not high!
After all, that person is the biological daughter of Hou Anhetu of Kunshan. Although Ye Mou’s power has improved slightly, his status is still not enough to marry the daughter of the An family!
In addition, as far as he knew, the An family was prosperous and there were five or six brothers of An Zhirong's generation, so the number of nieces there was too many to count on two hands.
It seems that An Zhirong's intention is to arrange one for himself among these people!
Although he is a little disgusted with arranged marriages without feelings, if the other party is not bad in appearance and can give him a generous dowry, Ye Mingsheng does not mind sacrificing his looks and dedicating himself to his career... ········
"But the legitimate daughter?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Mingsheng asked tentatively:
Dong Jiangchuan nodded without any hesitation and said:
"Master Ye, you are a fifth-grade general soldier at a young age. You have a bright future. Of course, only your direct daughter can be worthy of you!"
After receiving Dong Jiangchuan's promise, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"In that case, please ask Third Master to make the decision!"
