After ending the somewhat surprising conversation with Dong Jianchuan, Ye Mingsheng sent someone to take out the 10,000 taels of silver from Dalongchang's warehouse.
Although ten thousand taels of silver was not as much as expected, it was enough for Ye Mingsheng to start the first step of his plan.
After seven days of chatting with officials of all sizes in Fengzhou, Ye Mingsheng called a person over. He wanted to see what kind of answer this person would give him, and whether it was worth risking his life on him. risk··········
Wearing a very shabby but cleanly washed gray suit, with a thin figure, a high nose, and fair complexion, Gu Sansi slowly walked into Ye Mingsheng's study and raised his hand to Ye Mingsheng.
"Mr. Gu, how have you been these past few days?"
Looking at the famous talent in Liaoyang in front of him, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"Please take care of me, Lord Ye!" Gu Sansi said calmly:
Feeling Gu Sansi's attitude, Ye Mingsheng also gave up his plan to say a few words and asked directly:
"I wonder if Mr. Gu has an answer to my question?"
"I already had the answer to your question at that time, but during the time I was with you, I did have a new understanding..." Gu Sansi nodded and said:
"Mr. Gu, you might as well say something, I'm all ears!"
"Although I don't know why Mr. Ye attaches so much importance to the dangerous land of Fengzhou, I think Mr. Ye must have wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!" Gu Sansi said in a deep voice.
At the end of the sentence, his eyes glanced at Ye Mingsheng's facial expression intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see something, but to his regret, Ye Mingsheng's expression was always as calm as a pool of stagnant water, which made him Return without success
"Although the imperial court has set a limit of 30,000 troops for the Zhenwu Army, judging from the information you provided, Mr. Ye, this is nothing more than a cover!"
"Now the strength of the Zhenwu Army has reached 30,000, but Commander Chen Dechang has still not stopped expanding its strength. If this rate continues, without external intervention, Gu dares to say that a civil war in Liaoyang will break out within a year!"
"One year is the deadline. Although Song Wenhui was indecisive and wary of the imperial court's conquest, he did not resist forcefully at the beginning.
"But this person does not lack the courage to risk everything. Within a year, Song Wenhui's chances of winning will be. After a year, the chance of him having the last laugh will become smaller..."
"Fengzhou is located in a remote place. Although the area is vast, it is close to foreign tribes such as Khitan and Shiwei. The situation is not stable. Therefore, the population is sparse and it is not an important place. Neither Song Wenhui nor Chen Dechang will pay too much attention to this place!"
"But if there is a strong man here who can stabilize the situation and even conquer the foreign tribes, then the situation in Liaoyang may become a snipe and a clam, and the fishermen will benefit!" When he said the last eight words, Gu Sansi deliberately emphasized it. tone.
Seeing that Gu Sansi had said exactly what he was thinking, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but have a little more approval in his eyes, and then asked again:
"Mr. Gu, what do you think of Ye?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Gu Sansi was silent for a while. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng's eyes were sincere and did not seem to be fake, he spoke:
"Those who look down upon wolves are too scheming..."
Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng looked at Gu Sansi, and his eyes immediately became a little complicated.
Under Ma Runchuan's recommendation, he decided to get in touch with Gu Sansi after careful consideration.
Everyone knows that Gu Sansi is a great talent!
But unfortunately, there are too many factors that determine success in this world, and talent is not the first, or even the first few...
Gu Sansi was born in a small aristocratic Gu family in Gannan County, Liaoyang. Although he was not a direct descendant and lost his mother at an early age, he was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He could write at the age of three and write poems at the age of six, so he became the pride of the Gu family. He was fully cultivated by the Gu family.
Back then, when Gu Sansi was twenty-one years old, he was selected as a scholar. He was the most prosperous and prepared to obtain the Jinshi title. When he was going one step further, someone deliberately dug up his life experience!
Gu Sansi, who was originally from the Gu family, not only had a clean background, but was also a child of an aristocratic family, making him a good candidate for an official career!
But it's a pity that he was harmed by his life experience...
According to the evidence found, it can be confirmed that Gu Sansi's mother is not from Zhou, but a brown-haired and blue-eyed alien!
In fact, due to Gu Sansi's unusual appearance such as fair skin and tall nose, some people have suspected that Gu Sansi has alien ancestry since he was a child, but there has been no evidence.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the civil servants always regarded themselves as aloof and regarded foreign races as barbarians. Many people firmly believed that those who were not of our race must have different minds.
Therefore, Gu Sansi, who was confirmed to have foreign blood, could be said to have been ostracized by the entire officialdom, and his future was completely ruined!
From then on, Gu Sansi's life situation plummeted, and he was even kicked out of the Gu family and became a homeless person.
Over the years, there are not many people who value Gu Sansi’s talent and want to accept him...
But faced with the inherent prejudices and stereotypes of the entire officialdom, these people, without exception, did not persist until the end!
After looking at Gu Sansi for a few seconds, Ye Mingsheng said:
"I plan to set up a position of marching commander in the army. I wonder if Mr. Gu would be willing to give in?"
"military attache?"
Gu Sansi frowned slightly. He originally thought that Ye Mingsheng could help him regain his official career in Fengzhou, but he never expected that Ye Mingsheng could arrange for him an official position in the Zhenwu Army.
"To be precise, military attaché and civilian!"
"Mr. Gu, a stereotype cannot be changed overnight, and there are many people like you in the army. I can guarantee that you will not receive any unfair treatment in the army!"
"And it's just a temporary measure now. When you help Ye achieve great things, I will naturally be able to let you return to the ranks of civil servants!"
"Sir, you might as well think about it carefully!" Ye Mingsheng said solemnly:
Standing there, Gu Sansi's expression changed a few times. It's not like he hasn't tried in recent years to return to officialdom with his reputation as a scholar, but it was all in vain. If it weren't for such a predicament, he wouldn't have put his hope in Ye. Ming Sheng, a military attache...
Although Ye Mingsheng's conditions were not very good, Gu Sansi thought carefully and felt that this might not be a different path. Although the military attache was not his first choice, the military attache was still an official after all, and in these troubled times, the military attache might It will be more practical than civil servants!
