Governor's Mansion, in the study.
Wang Xuecheng, who had just returned to Dongning from the palace capital an hour ago, was bowing to report to Ye Mingsheng in front of him.
"I would like to report to the Governor, after the defeat of Shen Jianzhong and Wang Kangxin, I held negotiations with various officials and forces in the palace capital and seriously clarified our position. With the cooperation of General Yuan Song, I asked for a hundred dollars from the palace capital. Compensation of ten thousand taels of silver············"
"However, due to the financial decline of the palace, the current silver of the one million taels is only 700,000 taels. The remaining 300,000 taels of silver will be used in the next three years at the rate of 100,000 taels per year. The money is delivered to us!”
"And as the interest of the three hundred thousand taels of silver, the palace capital will give it to one hundred palace maids of our army every year for three years!"
Wang Xuecheng, who was bowing at this point, raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to quietly observe Ye Mingsheng's expression, but to his disappointment, Ye Mingsheng was still leaning on the Taishi chair, with his eyes closed and an expression on his face.
Although he was a little unclear as to what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, Wang Xuecheng hesitated for a moment, considered his words, and explained:
"Sir, the palace has not been peaceful in recent years. Peasant uprisings in various places have been uninterrupted, and God has not shown favor. There have been droughts, floods, and locust plagues. The people everywhere are in ragged clothes and exchange their children for food. Therefore, the palace capital The country really can’t produce any extra food..."
"In order to get a compensation of one million taels of silver, my subordinates have tried their best to squeeze out the last drop of their profits. There is really no other way, so I accepted the palace maidservant as interest. I have already told the palace officials Okay, these one hundred palace maids are all virgins who want to be young!"
"Although I came back in a hurry this time, my subordinates also brought back a few maids from the palace. I wonder if you are interested, sir..."
Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything but just glanced at him. Seeing this, Wang Xuecheng immediately understood.
Ye Mingsheng still recognizes Wang Xuecheng's work ability. He started his career in the palace, so he is very familiar with the difficult situation in the palace. Ye Mingsheng's previous expectation for this compensation was only 700,000. About two taels, so this time he was able to plunder one million taels of silver from the palace, which also gave Ye Mingsheng a small surprise.
As for the maids in the palace, they are also a good addition. Unlike modern society, it is a normal thing in feudal society to reward maidens to subordinates. Moreover, Ye Mingsheng’s Fengwu military regime, as a brand new young man, The political power, many of the generals and officials within the political power are also very young, they are full-blooded young people.
Therefore, rewarding them with maids donated by the palace is also a very good way to win over them...
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered:
"If that's the case, then let's do it. The maidservants from the Palace City who are donated will be handed over to Gu Sansi, and he will be assigned to the meritorious officers and soldiers. The compensation from the Palace City will be returned to the treasury as soon as possible!"
"As you command!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng approved his plan, Wang Xuecheng was also happy.
Glancing at Wang Xuecheng, Ye Mingsheng asked with a smile:
"You did a good job in Gongdu this time. Tell me, is there anything you want?"
Wang Xuecheng's mood was a little complicated when these words came out. He believed that Ye Mingsheng must know what he dreamed of. But now that Ye Mingsheng said this, it is very likely that he could not meet his requirements, so he wanted to give him some material compensation. ··········
Thinking of this, Wang Xuecheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still said:
"It is a lifelong honor to serve the Lord Warlord. I would not dare to ask for more after learning!"
Hearing what Wang Xuecheng said, Ye Mingsheng looked at him deeply, and then said leisurely:
"You have always wanted to replace Huo San as the director of the Coordination Office. I know this!"
These words directly touched Wang Xuecheng's heart. Wang Xuecheng immediately knelt down on the ground, knocked on the ground with his head and said in a deep voice:
"How dare Xuecheng do this? Xuecheng just wants to assist Director Huo and work together to contribute to your great cause!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head when he heard this:
"hypocritical!"
Wang Xuecheng was even more frightened when he heard these two words. He didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking. But just when he was at a loss because he didn't know what to say to Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng came over and asked Ye Mingsheng. Kneeling on the ground, he helped him up and said earnestly:
"Do you know why I don't let you be the director of the Coordination Office?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, although Wang Xuecheng wanted to know the answer to the question, he subconsciously wanted to refuse to cover it up. However, facing Ye Mingsheng's breathtaking eyes, Wang Xuecheng had already reached the point of speaking, but he could no longer say it. When he came out, he had a hunch that today's conversation with Ye Mingsheng might change his life...
Realizing this, Wang Xuecheng hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to put his mind to it and whispered:
"I don't know!"
Seeing that Wang Xuecheng finally learned to be honest, Ye Mingsheng pointed at his head and said seriously:
"Because your place is very useful, the Coordination Office may not be the best place for you!"
Wang Xuecheng's expression was startled after he finished speaking. The next second he understood the implication of Ye Mingsheng's words, and surprise suddenly burst out in his eyes.
He was different from Huo San, who was born in Green Forest and had been wandering around the world since he was a child. He was born as a scholar and had achieved honors. He was forced to give up the imperial examination because he was implicated. As a man who had learned the way of a saint since he was a child, he dreamed of being educated without being educated. He is a human being and a scholar who benefits the common people. What Wang Xuecheng wanted was never to be a great spy leader!
As for wanting to be the Director of the Coordination Office now, it’s just because I know there’s too much dirt on him and it’s hard to clean up, so I settle for the next best thing...
Patting Wang Xuecheng's shoulder, Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
"Our army is about to enter the border, and the command and control office still needs you, so work hard! If you don't let me down, I won't let you down either!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Wang Xuecheng's eyes became slightly red and moist, and he knelt down again and said sincerely:
"Sir, you are so kind and virtuous, and you will never be able to repay it with death! You will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
(Recently, some book friends have been saying that I update once a day. In fact, in my opinion, the number of chapters updated is not important. What is important is the number of words updated. Anyone who has read my last book, The Wizard Count, knows that my last book was a thousand. Many chapters were two chapters a day, but now it has been changed to one chapter a day and the word count is slightly more. The reason is because of the perfect attendance award!)
(Qidian’s new perfect attendance rule is that if you keep perfect attendance for the first three months, you will get a thousand yuan a month. After three months, if your bookings exceed five hundred, you can get a perfect attendance bonus of one thousand yuan if you keep perfect attendance for a month. I am now The average order is not too far away from 500, which is dangerous, and updating one ticket every day can maintain the average order, and the average order increases faster, so in order to be more secure, I try to stay away from the 500 average order red line as much as possible, so I No matter how many words you update, I will still write a chapter. I hope everyone can understand me!)
