As the governor of Liaoyang, Song Wenhui must have known that Fengzhou at this time was all under his control, Ye Mingsheng...
Under such a situation, he also deliberately emphasized in his letter that he should let Murong Yuliang and himself take charge of civil and military affairs and make a career.
This made it difficult for Ye Mingsheng to wonder whether Song Wenhui intended to let Murong Yuliang restrain him and go against him!
Thinking of the expressionless Ye Mingsheng, he raised his head and shifted his gaze from the letter to Murong Yuliang, and said lightly:
"Mr. Murong, Fengzhou is located on the border with many bandits and the public security is not very good. I am not afraid of your jokes. I, the commander-in-chief of Fengzhou, don't even know if my head was cut off in my sleep that day..." ····”
Ye Mingsheng's voice sounded a little depressed, just like ordinary officials and colleagues complaining, but when these words entered the ears of Cui Dakai and Murong Yuliang, they had a different meaning.
Cui Dakai's face turned very ugly, and he looked at Ye Mingsheng with a hint of fear. Although he knew that Ye Mingsheng was very courageous and his methods were very wild, he did not expect that Ye Mingsheng would be so rampant and dare to threaten Murong like this. Yuliang.
This Murong Yuliang is the second master of the Murong family. In the future, he is very likely to be the master of Shangshuge of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Ye Mingsheng really wants to kill Murong Yuliang here, he will inevitably suffer the most crazy revenge from the Murong family!
Although the Murong family does not have much power and influence in Liaoyang, as the top clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have too many methods to deal with you, a border general, and they can use the method of exchanging interests to kill people with a borrowed knife. ·······
I believe that as long as the benefits are large enough, Song Wenhui and even Chen Dechang will be very willing to deal with Ye Mingsheng for the Murong family.
Compared to Cui Dakai, Murong Yuliang, who had experienced great storms, seemed much calmer when faced with Ye Mingsheng's death threats. However, the calmness on the surface did not represent his inner thoughts, and the same was true!
Looking at Ye Mingsheng's calm eyes, Murong Yuliang's experience told him that Ye Mingsheng was not trying to scare him, Ye Mingsheng really had the courage to kill him!
Although Murong Yuliang had already expected the boldness of these border town warriors when he was preparing to take up his post in Fengzhou, he still had expectations. When they actually encountered them, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. It's really like a scholar encountering a soldier, and it's hard to explain why...
Now Murong Yuliang has some regrets. He originally wanted to use Song Wenhui's letter to try to make Ye Mingsheng compromise and give up part of his power to him, but he did not expect that this letter actually stimulated Ye Mingsheng and inspired him to Showing Ye Mingsheng's ferocity, if he had known this, he would not have taken out this letter and showed it to Ye Mingsheng...
Although Murong Yuliang wanted to compete with Ye Mingsheng, after all, the current situation was stronger than others. As the saying goes, "people have to bow their heads under the roof." So in order to prevent the situation from developing into a worse situation, he decided that it was necessary to soften it appropriately. Ye Mingsheng stabilized his attitude and immediately said:
"Master Ye is joking. This Khitan man, Master Ye, is not a big deal. How can this little gangster threaten Master Ye?" Murong Yuliang said with a pun:
After speaking, Murong Yuliang looked deeply at Ye Mingsheng, and then said meaningfully:
"Master Ye, I'm dissatisfied with what you said. My ambition when I come here this time is not in Fengzhou, but in the temple in the future. I just want to make some achievements this time so that I can add a lot of color to my resume." I have no intention of making enemies with anyone!"
After hearing Murong Yuliang's words, Ye Mingsheng's expression remained unchanged. If Murong Yuliang wanted to make political achievements, he must have power. Now that the power was in Ye Mingsheng's hands, how could Ye Mingsheng give it to him? ?
However, Ye Mingsheng values reality, while Murong Yuliang values reputation. The conflict between the two is not necessarily life-or-death, irreconcilable...
Ye Mingsheng pondered for a while, restrained the murderous intent in his eyes, and asked Murong Yuliang:
"I wonder, Master Murong, what do you think of the future development of Fengzhou?"
Murong Yuliang was a little surprised when he heard Ye Mingsheng's question. He was a little confused for a moment as to what Ye Mingsheng wanted to do by asking this question. But since Ye Mingsheng asked, he naturally wanted to give Ye Mingsheng an answer, but here Before that, he wanted to ask Ye Mingsheng a question.
"Master Ye, how confident are you that you can defend Fengzhou?"
"Master Ye, this question is very important. Your answer is related to my next development measures for Fengzhou!"
"Oh? What if I can hold on? What if I can't?" Ye Mingsheng was not in a hurry to answer Murong Yuliang's question, but asked with interest:
"If Mr. Ye can defend Fengzhou from the Khitan threat, then I will fully support Fengzhou's current immigration policy and strive to accept 100,000 immigrants in the next year, and at the same time overhaul water conservancy. Open up wasteland and expand farmland to turn Fengzhou into a land of plenty."
"If Mr. Ye, you are not sure, then the immigration matter can be slowed down. At the same time, I will mobilize the masses to overhaul fortifications in Xinfa County and other places connected to Khitan, and try to ensure the safety of both sides!" Murong Yuliang said in a deep voice:
Hearing Murong Yuliang's answer, Ye Mingsheng was somewhat satisfied, but not particularly satisfied. After thinking about it, he asked Murong Yuliang again:
"Then Master Murong, do you think I can hold on?"
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's question, Murong Yuliang shook his head and said very sincerely:
"I don't know. Mr. Ye, although you encourage immigration, actively expand the army, and replace food and salary with land, although the progress is rapid, judging from the current strength comparison between Fengzhou and the Khitan people, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has not been fundamentally changed. Fengzhou The state is still at an absolute disadvantage!”
"And the key point is that I don't know how deep your relationship with the An family is, Mr. Ye..."
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard Murong Yuliang talking about Anjia. It seems that this old guy must know about the deal between Dalongchang Company and the Khitan people!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng undoubtedly sighed silently in his heart. How powerful the interest group behind An Zhirong is. So many people know about it, but it has not been exposed yet. How powerful is it?
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng said: "Mr. Murong is a civil servant. The Khitan people are not a problem that you should consider. As the commander-in-chief of Fengzhou, Ye has the unshirkable responsibility to protect the country and the country!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's answer, Murong Yuliang's face suddenly relaxed a lot, although he was skeptical about whether Ye Mingsheng could stop the Khitans.
But he knew that Dalongchang Company was doing business with the Khitan people, and both parties had great interests involved. Ye Mingsheng was the protective umbrella of Dalongchang Company in Fengzhou, so currently the relationship between Fengzhou and the Khitan people was very complicated. It is complicated and not simply a relationship between ourselves and the enemy.
And precisely because of this complex interest relationship, it might be possible for Fengzhou and the Khitan people to reach a tacit understanding...
Knowing that safety was guaranteed, Murong Yuliang began to elaborate on his governance philosophy to Ye Mingsheng, as well as the various measures he planned to implement in Fengzhou.
Next, Ye Mingsheng and Murong Yuliang discussed the development of Fengzhou for nearly an hour in the lobby. After several rounds of arguments, Ye Mingsheng and Murong Yuliang finally settled in. Consensus was reached and unanimous opinions were reached on important issues such as land distribution, water conservancy construction, and border control.
After talking for such a long time, Ye Mingsheng, who was somewhat dry and thirsty, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and finally made up his mind and promised Murong Yuliang:
"As long as Master Murong can carry out work within our consensus and benefit the people of Fengzhou, Ye will fully support you!"
"Then thank you Master Ye and all the colleagues in the Zhenwu Army!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng finally made a promise, Murong Yuliang's face finally showed some joy. In the discussion just now, in order to reach an agreement with Ye Mingsheng, he had made considerable compromises and concessions, and now he finally It was Ye Mingsheng's promise.
Cui Dakai, who was sitting on the side and couldn't get a word in at all, looked at Murong Yuliang and then at Ye Mingsheng. He originally wanted Ye Mingsheng to take back the immigration policy, but he may have realized what he said. In Ye Mingsheng's place, it's worse than farting, so he very wisely refrained from talking...
"Master Ye is very sorry. It was my lax discipline that allowed my housekeeper to attack the military attache of your department. I am willing to donate five thousand taels of silver to make up for your department's losses!"
After reaching an agreement with Ye Mingsheng, Murong Yuliang apologetically raised his hands to Ye Mingsheng and said:
As soon as he heard that Murong Yuliang's words were five thousand taels of silver, a flash of strange color flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes.
Mahler Gobi, the top family member of the Murong family is really a top family member!
It was five thousand taels of silver at the outset, enough to pay a battalion of his own for half a year...
This Zheng Xu was just a tool used by Ye Mingsheng to manipulate Murong Yuliang. Now that he had reached an agreement with Murong Yuliang, Ye Mingsheng was ready to let him go, which would be regarded as releasing some goodwill to Murong Yuliang. Now that Murong Yuliang If you are willing to spend money to redeem someone, that would be great.
"It's my first offense, so let's do this this time. Master Murong still needs to keep strict supervision on his subordinates. Next time, Ye will not be able to suppress his brothers!" Ye Mingsheng nodded and said:
"Thank you Lord Ye for your extra mercy! If someone in my house commits such a thing again, I will have nothing to say if I let Lord Ye kill him!"
Murong Yuliang, who was completely relieved when he heard that Ye Mingsheng was willing to return Zheng Xu to him, also promised Ye Mingsheng:
"That's the best!" Ye Mingsheng nodded and said:
After the official discussion, Murong Yuliang invited Ye Mingsheng again. Three days later, they went to Nanfuxiang Restaurant to entertain Fengzhou officials. Ye Mingsheng knew that he wanted to use this to convey his support to all officials, but After careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng agreed to his request...
After talking about everything, Murong Yuliang said goodbye and left. He did not stay in Ye Mingsheng's headquarters for a long time. Ye Mingsheng originally thought that the real masters were gone and the people who were invited to help would be dejected. He left, but he didn't expect Cui Dakai to be quite thick-skinned. He said that he hadn't seen Ye Cui for a long time and wanted to see his cousin Ye Cui.
Ye Mingsheng originally wanted to reject this shameless guy directly, but then he thought about it. He, as an old woman, lives in seclusion in the General Military Mansion, and usually only one of his relatives can see her.
Although this Cui Dakai is not a thing, he is still Ye Cui's mother-in-law. Meeting and eating together to talk and laugh can make Ye Cui feel better, so he agreed to Cui Dakai's request.
After finishing all these matters, Ye Mingsheng returned to the study, leaned on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and rested, and reviewed his meeting with Murong Yuliang today.
Ye Mingsheng did not lack the courage and determination to kill Murong Yuliang, but because he was concerned about the Murong family, a top family member, Ye Mingsheng really did not want to kill Murong Yuliang unless he had to...
During this period of intense work and a steady stream of official documents, Ye Mingsheng gradually had the idea of delegating power!
People's energy is limited, and Ye Mingsheng feels that he should invest his limited energy in some technological trees, instead of focusing on those trivial and nonsense things in Fengzhou!
And Ye Mingsheng is not good at those things either!
Although he wanted to delegate power, this power could not be delegated just because he wanted to. Although there were many Fengzhou officials who took refuge with Ye Mingsheng, there were very few who could be used by Ye Mingsheng.
I know that although Liu Zhengxian is honest, he values his reputation too much and his abilities are really mediocre. It's okay to be a man of integrity, but if you expect him to be a leader, it's sheer nonsense!
Judge Wang Jin is the next person Ye Mingsheng wants to kill as a warning, not to mention naturally...
The only suitable person in Ye Mingsheng's mind is his current mastermind Gu Sansi. He has the ability and skills to help share some government work.
Unfortunately, Gu Sansi has more important things to do now. He has to facilitate the deal between Ye Mingsheng and the Khitan people, and also wants to win over and divide the Khitan people. The task at hand is also very difficult*** I have no time to be distracted by these government affairs.
Every time he thought about this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but lament that he, who came from a poor family, was really short of talents and didn't even have anyone who could share the burden.
But if you were a child of a noble family and had a family name, it wouldn't be so difficult. That person would rush to seek refuge without looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but secretly look forward to his marriage to An Miaoyi. He didn't know if he married An Miaoyi. With the tiger skin of Hou An's family in Kunshan, his current situation could be improved... ··········
