Li's house in the east of the city, father and son bureau. Li Yuan looked at Li Yong who was sitting opposite him, blew on the tea, took a sip, and said with a click of his tongue: "Tell me, what else did the immortal entrust you with in his dream, besides the matter of the Jiaofang Division?" Son?" Since it was proved that the Jiaofang Division had the person he was looking for, Li Yuan didn't care what he did after he went there today, and wanted to know what else was more worthy of attention.
Li Yong was just perfunctory at the time, but now he has thought about a few things, so he said calmly: "Father, don't ask, what did I do in the Jiaofang Division?" Li Yuan snorted and asked "Then what did you do?" When Li Yong explained what had happened, Li Yuan looked strange after hearing this. He looked at Li Yong suspiciously and said, "If you hadn't changed like this, I would have suspected that you were not a descendant of our Li family." ." Li Yong rolled his eyes and said, "What dad means is that you fell in love with my mother on the street and came to ask for marriage that night with a betrothal gift, regardless of whether my mother's family was willing or not, and almost took her away directly. , is it in line with the family tradition of our Li family, and should it be the seed of the old Li family?"
"Hmm, cough, cough..." Li Yuan almost choked when Li Yong told him about his glorious deeds in his youth. Li Yuan couldn't help but blush. He thought of his deceased wife again, sighed, and then asked: "Is it possible? Do you still want to make that girl fall in love with you and take the initiative to follow you?" Li Yong smiled and said: "Although I am not good at taking advantage of others, I am also too lazy to play the trick of a talented man and a beautiful woman, but I just want to lay a foundation there first. , We will talk about the rest after we help their sisters get rid of their lowly status." Li Yuan nodded and said, "I will find someone to handle this matter, so you can rest assured." The Lehu's lowly status was directly controlled by the Jiaofang Division. However, the Jiaofang Division in Qiantang is directly led by the Jiaofang Division in Bianjing, so it is difficult for local officials to intervene directly.
However, a small Lehu is not involved that deeply. It is easy to operate. If you have money and connections, you just need to spend some time and some favors.
Just like in the drama, something that Gu Qianfan, a member of the Imperial City Division, could handle with just a few words, had to be postponed until the finale, when the emperor issued an order. What else was going on?
The slogan "Those with low status may not necessarily be low" is really a forced sublimation of self-motivation. Knowing that Li Yuan couldn't wait, Li Yong quickly got to the point. His face straightened, but he asked first: "Father, do you want to destroy those water thieves?"
"I've always dreamed about it, and all I've lost is money. It would be weird if I didn't think about it." Li Yuan paused for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Did the immortal in the dream tell you about suppressing bandits? "Li Yong's lips curled up slightly, and he shook his head and said: "That's not true, but he told me that this bandit suppression is related to the prosperity of my family, so this water bandit must be suppressed, and we even have to do it ourselves. Okay." Li Yuan stared intently and asked, "What are you going to do?" With the immortal's endorsement, Li Yong once again mentioned that he wanted to suppress bandits, but Li Yuan passed it easily.
Of course, Li Yong knew that he had to have a comprehensive plan to convince the other party. Otherwise, no matter what kind of immortal he was, he would definitely protect his son first. After all, he was the only seedling of three generations and the only incense inheritance of the Li family.
"First is military training..."
"Training troops?" Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "My son wants to rebel?" Fortunately, there was no one else here, otherwise it would not be a joke if this word spread.
But when Li Yuan called out, he immediately vetoed it. Since it was to suppress bandits, those water thieves were the ones who rebelled. At most, they were counterinsurgency.
But this training, I always feel like something is not right. What kind of soldiers do their merchants train? But Li Yong said: "Since the government can't suppress it, we will do it ourselves. If the officers and soldiers can't do it, we will train our own soldiers. Of course, it cannot be said to be military training to the outside world. This is only known to us."
"What's that name?"
"Escort agency!"
"Escort agency?"
"That's right," Li Yong nodded and said: "The so-called escort agency, a traveling escort, is a person who escorts and transports goods. The guarantor also protects the goods. When the time comes, we will not only protect our own goods, but also the goods of other companies."
"Then you just said to suppress the bandits?" Li Yong sneered and made a gesture: "If you can't fight, you can only protect yourself; if you don't fight, you will naturally kill people." Li Yuan somewhat understood what he meant. Yes, it means fighting to support
The "soldiers" eventually swallowed it up. In this way, in addition to the initial investment, they don't have to spend too much money, and they can earn back later, and they may even earn a lot.
Even if they are more ruthless, they may or may not finish the bandits, so they can continue to run escorts, and the escort agency can continue to exist, and then they can take advantage of both sides and make more money.
Of course, he suppressed this idea as soon as he raised it. He still wanted to draw the bottom line. At this time, Li Yong had a dark look in his eyes and said, "Father should also think that what we can think of, others should also think of. So why is this The water thieves can't be wiped out no matter what, but whenever the officers and soldiers attack, they can evade on time. If no one delivers the news, you believe it, dad, but I don't believe it." Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and of course he didn't believe it either.
But sometimes, you have to believe it even if you don’t believe it. Unless they can directly find out which company is colluding with them.
He didn't doubt the magistrate, mainly because this was a mess left by the previous magistrate, and the magistrate just didn't know the military, and to put it bluntly, he was just a dishonor. This was a question of ability, not character.
Although his character is actually...
"My son's idea is wonderful, but it must be handled by a trustworthy person, and he also learned about military affairs..." Li Yong smiled and said: "Isn't it far away in the horizon, but close in front of you?" Li Yuan said in surprise: "You mean, you..." He immediately shook his head and said, "It's necessary, the war is dangerous, and if you're not careful... you are the only one in our family, and my father will never agree to let you take risks." Li Yong said helplessly: "The father loves and protects the child, and the child will naturally remember it in his heart. However, if the young eagle wants to fly high, it is impossible not to leave the nest, and as soon as it leaves the nest, it is in danger of falling to the ground. If the child does not experience a beating, it will be dead when the father passes away. When the time comes, who can the child rely on?" Although Li Yong cursed himself inexplicably, which made Li Yuan feel filial, the words did speak to his heart, and at least made him seriously consider whether he should agree to let Li Yong let go. for.
Seeing that he was still undecided, Li Yong said: "Otherwise, let's start recruiting people to 'train troops' first to see if there is any talent among them. If there are people who can afford this, then naturally there is no need for children to take action. "Furthermore, this is his first time experiencing such a world. Even if what he says makes sense, it's hard to tell how he will actually do it.
This martial arts training relies on one's own physical fitness and intellectual talent. It is certainly not a problem, but military training is a matter of another level.
Of course, it is enough for modern people who are proficient in management to become management talents in ancient times. It's just that people at this time are generally not well educated, which makes it a little more difficult, and you need to take measures according to circumstances.
Li Yuan finally agreed. Although he didn't agree to Li Yong, he would find a way to do it himself, but with him as his backing, many things would be easier to do and there would be no worries.
In a blink of an eye, it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The county magistrate held a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the largest banquet building in the city. Qiantang's dignitaries showed up one after another. Li Yong followed Li Yuan and got to know each other.
