I’m The King Chapter 357: : Generous
Ye Tiannan looked at Gao Yuan in front of him. This young general in his early twenties had a calmness that was unmatched by his peers. In two years, such a country has been laid down, and the self who rejected him so much at the beginning now has to count on him.
"What do you think about the future?" Ye Tiannan asked.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Didn't my father-in-law and the two elders already make plans for me?"
Ye Tiannan smiled, "Are you a person who can act according to other people's plans? If so, you will not be as lofty as you are today, and you will never be able to sit in front of me. I think Listen to your own true thoughts."
Listening to Ye Tiannan's words, Gao Yuan was a little silent. He didn't know whether he should believe Ye Tiannan's words, but he was not without suspicion in his heart about the man in front of him who was about to become his father-in-law.
Ye Tiannan seemed to have guessed Gao Yuan's thoughts, and instead of asking further questions, he lowered his eyes and quietly waited for Gao Yuan's answer.
Time only passed for a short moment, but in Gao Yuan's mind, many things passed by. Finally, he decided to take a risk. No matter what, Jing'er was about to become his wife, Ye Tiannan Even if you disagree with your own approach, you will not betray yourself in the end.
"Father-in-law, I think that only the power you hold in your own hands is the most real. It is also the most secure. If you count on others, you may end up with the moon in the mirror. A flower in the water. So, always Since then. What I seek is to have a territory that truly belongs to me, a power that truly belongs to me, and not subject to anyone." Gao Yuan said softly.
Ye Tiannan straightened up all of a sudden, Gao Yuan's words were very short, but they revealed too much information inside, Gao Yuan didn't want to surrender to anyone.
He clenched his fist, let go, and clenched again.
"Gao Yuan. The power you can use now is already very strong. You have the support of Zhang Shouyue, you have the full support of Langya County, and now you have the full support of Tianhe County and the king. Follow this path If you go down the road, you will go smoothly. It is very easy to become an important person who can influence the political situation of Dayan and reach a very high height. But if you want to choose the road you mentioned, I am afraid There are many dangers along the way, and out of ten, one or two percent of the hope of success is difficult to guarantee."
"Father-in-law, you said that Langya County will fully support me, I believe it, but if you say that Liaoxi and Tianhe, the king also fully supports me, I don't believe it." Gao Yuan shook his head.
"How do you say this? Could it be that today you, Chunyuyan and Ji Wugui are just pretending to be nothing?" Ye Tiannan was surprised. And also a little angry, kid. He even lied to himself.
"No, it's not a lie!" Gao Yuan laughed, "Didn't I get a large amount of silver and weapons and armor from them?"
Ye Tiannan's face darkened, "Gao Yuan, credit is nothing to a politician, but sometimes credit must be talked about."
"Father-in-law, I didn't say that I don't support the king, but we must not tie ourselves to their chariots. Have you ever thought about it? The king just took out some money and armor. In exchange for my absolute allegiance, they won't lose money from this business. However, once I fail in the confrontation with Zhou Ning and the other two, can I expect them to come out to save me? No, they will do it as quickly as possible. The king's status is aloof, and there will be no loss. It's great that he threw Ji Wugui back to calm the anger of Zhou Ning and the two, but we will be miserable."
After a pause, Gao Yuan continued: "Langya is rich and can indeed give me the greatest support, but Langya is water without a source and a tree without roots. You can understand when you open the map , if there is a day when he really turns his face, Langya will not be able to hold back."
"As for Zhang Shouyue in Liaoxi, he really values me and supports me very much, but father-in-law, you should understand that Zhang Shouyue is a man who values the land in Liaoxi most. When I am useful to him , he will naturally try his best to support me, and once I lose my strength, I am afraid that he will be the one who beats the dog in the water. Moreover, Zhang Shouyue is old, and his two sons are now fighting to the death. Take a look at the attitude, if you want to pick the winner from the battle between the two brothers, if it is a peaceful age, that's fine, but this world is about to be chaotic, the Zhang brothers' internal fighting, Is there any reason not to be used by others? I am worried that Zhang Shouyue will not be able to control it."
Listening to Gao Yuan's analysis, Ye Tiannan's expression gradually turned serious.
"Father-in-law, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. After you returned to the country and defeated the Linghu Clan successfully. After ascending to the position of Prime Minister, your steps were too hasty and your methods too fierce. If you had been able to compromise for a while, maybe it would not have ended like today. Zhou Ning and I were very afraid of you, but as soon as you came to power, you not only controlled government affairs, but also reached out to the army. How can you not make people suspicious? Ning and the others, didn’t they find a knife to hang over their heads? They are definitely going to bring you down.”
Hearing Gao Yuan accuse him of acting too hastily during his tenure as Prime Minister, Ye Tiannan's face became a little uneasy.
"It's a good move for you to make a quick decision and return to Langya to recuperate, but do you think that Zhou Ning and the two will let you get what you want?" Gao Yuan looked at Ye Tiannan's face that had gradually turned black, and asked in a low voice One sentence.
Sure enough, Ye Tiannan was moved, "You mean, I've taken a big step back, and they still won't let me go?"
"If you can't kill a snake, you will suffer backlash. Do you think that with the means of Ning Zhou and others, you will tolerate you running Langya and echoing me? If my guess is right, your troubles must be coming?" Gao Yuan said lightly. .
"What's the trouble?" Ye Tiannan raised his head and thought for a moment, his face changed slightly, "In order to encourage the powerful people in Yan Kingdom to overthrow Linghu Chao, I made promises to some people but didn't keep it, you mean What's the trouble here?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "It should be here. Don't worry about Liaoxi, as long as I still have the strength, Zhang Shouyue won't come to make trouble, and you don't have to worry about Hejian County, I will make him forget to look for it at all. Your troubles, but Kaiping and Yuyang, I can't do it."
Ye Tiannan stood up and walked around the room, looking very upset. "Gao Yuan, in your opinion, how to break this situation?"
Gao Yuan shook his head, "If we can't break the situation, Langya's geographical location has already been decided. If Kaiping and Yuyang are pressing against each other, you can do what they want!"
"But once this hole is opened, the consequences may not be dealt with."
"Langya can only be used as a springboard for us to take off, not a foundation!" Gao Yuan said seriously.
Ye Tiannan paced hurriedly in the room, gradually, his pace became slower and slower, he suddenly turned around, looked at Gao Yuan, "You just said that you can make Hejian not hesitate to come to me for trouble?"
"Yes!"
"But how can you trouble them?"
"Not long ago, I was on the grassland, and I just wiped out a 3,000-strong elite army of Yan Shenghao in Hejian County. I think Yan Shenghao is a little flustered now." It's started, and I will continue to attack him."
"Where did you get the soldiers? And this is a taboo!"
"How could it be my soldier?" Gao Yuan raised his head and laughed, "It's the Huns' rout who are looking for trouble for him."
Ye Tiannan suddenly moved, "You can control the Hun cavalry?"
This is the end of the matter, and Gao Yuan doesn't want to lie to Ye Tiannan anymore, "I've already started building a new city somewhere in the grassland, where will be my real old nest, this place is very close to Hejian. Yan Shenghao I have already suffered a heavy blow, and next, I will slowly devour the territory of Hejian. Zhou Yuan is in a hurry to fight Donghu now, and he can't control it for a while. When he reacts, it will be too late. Of course, this matter has to boil the frog in warm water, there is no rush, and if you are in a hurry, you will be exposed."
"That new city already has a certain scale?" Ye Tiannan asked.
Gao Yuan nodded, "That's right, it does have a certain scale, and now the city has begun to build. Father-in-law, my army, will move there little by little during the conquest of Donghu."
Ye Tiannan sat down again, but judging from his heavy breathing, he was in an extremely agitated mood at this time, and he even couldn't help himself. Gao Yuan didn't speak, and gave him time to slowly digest this shocking event.
"What do you need now?" After a while, Ye Tiannan finally spoke again.
"There is no shortage of money for a while." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "I have made a lot of money in the past two days. I got Ning Zecheng 300,000 taels and Zhou Yu 200,000 taels. This is a million taels of silver, and I have enough money to build the city. What I lack now is people, especially skilled craftsmen. Young and strong labor force. I have been in Fufeng Juliguan for two years, and I have accumulated a lot of experience in iron smelting and weapon making, but because of the lack of manpower, the scale has not been able to increase.”
Ye Tiannan raised his palms up, "I understand, I'll give you these. Gao Yuan, now we, the son-in-law and weng, can be considered to be in the same spirit, both prosperity and loss, you want to gamble big, Then I will accompany you for a while. Taking this opportunity of marrying a daughter, I will give you the one thousand soldiers that Ye Zhen has just trained as part of the dowry. In addition, I will also send another ten thousand craftsmen. As for the young and strong, I will slowly send you batches.”
Listening to Ye Tiannan's words, Gao Yuan was stunned. Although he has been in this era for a long time, he is still not used to some rules and regulations of this world. He would never have thought of sending things like Ye Tiannan.
"Father-in-law, are these craftsmen willing? Leave the affluent Langya, go to the grassland, go to the west of Liaoning, are they willing, and don't make trouble." Gao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"These people are all slaves." Ye Tiannan said lightly. "What you have to do now is to grow up as soon as possible, and Langya will provide us with a steady stream of labor and money. I don't hesitate, as you said, Langya, I can't keep it."
