I’m The King Chapter 62: :Amount of troops
About an hour later, Lu Hong and Gao Yuan walked out of the prefect's office. Gao Yuan looked calm, but Lu Hong was a little uneasy.
Standing in front of the gate, Lu Hong looked at Gao Yuan: "Tell me, what does the **** mean? Did he agree, or did he not?"
Gao Yuan took the reins of the war horse from Yan Haibo, and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry, the prefect naturally agreed."
"Since you agreed, why didn't you sign this contract?" Lu Hong was puzzled.
"Didn't the prefect say that? The eldest son will treat us to dinner tonight."
"What's the mystery here?"
"The prefect must have agreed, but he thinks that we have given us too few shares. Uncle, think about it, Mr. Wu's wine has a yearly income of 1,000 yuan in one county of Fufeng. If the county spreads out, it will have an annual income of more than 100,000 guan, but what if the shares increase by 10%? That would be 200,000 guan!" Gao Yuan raised two fingers, "200,000 guan, to the prefect It’s a huge sum.”
"Is this too little? The prefect is a stockholder? If you don't worry about it at all, you can get more than 100,000 yuan a year. This, this..."
"The prefect's thoughts are not unreasonable. He is a dry stock, but without his support, we can't even think about getting out of Fufeng County. We can just give him 20% or more. I think Mr. Wu is Absolutely agree. When we signed this contract, we didn't expect the profit to be so big. It's just that the money is less. The prefect will not care about it. But now that there is such a big prospect, it has almost solved the most important thing for the prefect. Difficult money to ask, is there any reason why the **** doesn't do it once and for all?" Gao Yuan said: "Uncle, don't worry, the signing is certain, it depends on the eunuch's appetite."
"That's how it is. If you're dissatisfied with too few shares, the **** can just say it out. Why bother?" Lu Hong shook his head. "
"This is the brilliance of the prefect. He is the head of a county. How dare he bargain with our subordinates? He still wants this face. The eldest son's appearance represents his meaning. He can advance and retreat freely. Even if something bad happens in the future, he can get out of it." Gao Yuan laughed, and got on his horse, "Uncle, let's find a place to live quickly, the shoes and socks are all wet, and it's really a shame to soak your feet in the water Uncomfortable, after a long time, it is not good for the body, let's stay here first, and then soak your feet in hot water to get rid of fatigue!"
Lu Hong nodded, "It's a simple thing, but it has to be so complicated, it seems that I'm really not suitable for doing business, you're right, let's find a place to live and go to work, These days, I'm tired. Let's go to Ruyi Inn!"
Putting a pair of whitened feet in the hot water, Gao Yuan couldn't help but groaned comfortably. Gao Yuan would go down to help push the cart, even if he was wearing strong cowhide boots, they were already soaked in water. From this point of view, those soldiers who only wore cloth shoes with some thatch wrapped on them would be even worse.
"Uncle, are you familiar with the eldest son? What kind of person is this?" Gao Yuan asked, soaking his feet in the hot water and enjoying the comfort brought by the heat.
"The **** has two sons, the eldest is Zhang Junbao, the second is Zhang Shubao. The eldest son is thirty-one years old, but the second son Zhang Shubao is about the same as you. It is strange to say that the **** is both civil and military. Able to lead the army in battle, he is majestic, dismounts and manages the people's livelihood, but he is also well-organized, but these two sons seem to have divided the prefect into two. But he is extremely powerful, and he has been in the army since he was a child."
"Two sons, which one do you like to deal with?"
"Of course it's the second son. The second son has a violent temper, but he is a typical warrior, a character who has his guts to the end. If he doesn't like you, he won't give you good face, but the eldest son let People can't see through, they seem to be polite to everyone, but they don't dare to let people get close." Lu Hong said with emotion, "Gao Yuan, the prefect asked the eldest son to talk to us, you have to be careful. "
"I know!" Gao Yuan said. "But uncle, you still have to get closer to the eldest son. I'm afraid that the position of prefect will definitely belong to the eldest son in the future. If you lay the foundation early, you will be able to talk more easily in the future." /
"I also understand that the prefect has laid down this country, and if he wants to defend it, he must be someone like the Eldest Young Master, and the Second Young Master is more suitable to be a general who can charge forward." Lu Hong nodded, "It's just the Eldest Young Master. , it’s really not easy to make friends with.”
"As long as uncle is with you, you will be able to!" Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Everyone has weaknesses, such as a good name, a good power, a good money, or lust. As long as you have the heart, you will be able to catch him Weaknesses, make an appointment according to the symptoms.”
Lu Hong looked at Gao Yuan, smiled and said, "Gao Yuan, what is your weakness?"
Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lu Hong, "Uncle, you watched me grow up, and you are not clear about my weaknesses?"
"I was very clear before, but since you recovered from your injury, it's like a completely different person. Sometimes I really wonder if you are still the Gao Yuan I knew before?" Lu Hong shook his head .
It is indeed not the Gao Yuan before! Gao Yuan thought to himself, "Uncle, this time I was injured and lying on the bed for so long, my nephew has thought about it a lot, and every time I think of those absurd things in the past, I feel a little ashamed, uncle. I have taken care of me for so many years and tried my best. It’s fine if I can’t help my uncle, and I’ve made trouble for him. Do something well to repay my uncle for taking care of me over the years. Uncle, my nephew has grown up!"
A nephew has grown up, but Lu Hong is full of emotions, "Zi Daquan must be very relieved to know that you are so outstanding now. In the past few months, what you have done does not impress me, but even more so." Let me be gratified, my hard work these years has not been in vain, Gao Yuan, you and your elder brother must support each other in the future, and make a difference."
"Don't worry, uncle, I will do my best to help elder brother." Gao Yuan said with certainty.
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved!" Lu Hong said happily, "With your help, your elder brother will definitely be able to make great achievements. Gaoyuan, we are in Fufeng, and the three hundred soldiers are indeed a little less. Go back Afterwards, I plan to recruit all the five hundred soldiers in Fufeng. With Wu Kai's future, I can afford it. I thought about the things you said before, and it's right. You are a miser, and you only want to earn a fortune for your elder brother, but you never thought that earning a fortune for him is worse than earning a career for him.”
"Uncle is right to think so. Eldest brother has a career, are you afraid of not having a family business? The bigger the career, the bigger the family business. The prefect can fight from an ordinary soldier to the point where he is today, so why can't the elder brother ?” Gao Yuan laughed.
"I don't dare to think about becoming a prefect!" Lu Hong shook his head again and again, "The prefect is an anomaly, and it's a time of great chaos. Now, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to do it. Gao Yuan , the newly recruited two hundred soldiers, I am going to put them all under your command, you will train them well for me, the same training as your current hundred soldiers, don't worry, I will pay you in full this time of."
Gao Yuan was happy in his heart, but there was some hesitation on his face, "In this way, Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha won't have any objections, right? They are your uncle's old subordinates!"
"If you don't mention them, I'll be annoyed!" Lu Hong showed dissatisfaction, "The two have led troops for so many years, and it's not as good as when you first joined the army and saw the hundred soldiers you trained. , Look at their subordinates again, they are like heaven and earth, how can I put the newly recruited soldiers in their place with confidence, just let them train me the soldiers that are half as good as yours, and I will Thank goodness!"
"Don't worry, Uncle, since Uncle gave me two hundred soldiers, I will definitely train an elite team for Uncle." Gao Yuan said firmly.
"That's it!" Lu Hong said: "This time Fufeng suffered a catastrophe. Many families were destroyed, but many strong and strong escaped from the sky. These people have nothing to worry about. I just wanted to seek revenge from the Donghu people, so I just recruited soldiers. After returning home, taking advantage of the time before the Chinese New Year, we will immediately finalize this matter. After the Chinese New Year, you can take them to Juliguan. You Wherever I take them, far away from the county, they will not be so eye-catching. After Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha come back, I will pay them full salary, and I will give them a little more, and they will be satisfied. The two of them have no ambitions, just dawdling."
"Uncle is right! Although they are useless, they are old brothers after all, so they should not be treated harshly. They may not be good at fighting, but they are good for maintaining law and order."
The two were talking, but the water was a bit cold. Gao Yuan wiped his feet dry, put on his shoes and walked over, squatted in front of Lu Hong, and thoughtfully wiped Lu Hong's feet clean. Lu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, I really enjoy the lofty service.
There is a soft knock on the door.
"Come in!" Gao Yuan said.
**Yan Hai** opened the door and walked in lightly, "Master County Captain, Gao Bingcao!"
"What's the matter?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Bingcao, it's the first time for everyone to come to the county, and they all want to go out for a stroll, let me ask Bingcao, can you?" Yan Haibo asked cautiously.
"What's wrong?" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Go, go, by the way, Hai Bo, let the brothers go shopping with ten pennies, and if you find something you are satisfied with, you will buy it, which is rare. A trip, yes, but don’t forget the brothers at home.”
"Thank you Bing Cao!" Yan Haibo was overjoyed, "How dare you forget your brothers! If you come across something good, everyone will have a share."
"Go, go!" Gao Yuan waved his hand.
Seeing Yan Haibo walking out happily, Lu Hong said: "You are generous, but I will not give you the ten pennies."
"What can they buy, the left and right are just some gadgets. Spending a little money can make them realize that we care about him. This deal is worth it!"
"You can relate everything to business now." Lu Hong laughed.
