Invincible son

Chapter 889 888 [Point General]

Time flies, like a white horse passing by.

I still remember that before entering Hengduan Mountain to suppress the bandits, Pei Yue stood in the courtyard of the old house in Luliuzhuang, looking at the eighteen young people with bright eyes, and had high hopes for their future.

In the years that followed, except for Deng Zai who was transferred to the army to lead the Beiwei camp, and Geng Yi who was bewitched by the secret agents of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and was dismissed, the remaining 16 people lived up to Pei Yue's expectations and gradually grew into Pei Yue's huge The core skeleton of the business layout.

The world's high-ranking officials and nobles basically don't manage merchants and low-level businesses in person. They are managed by housekeepers. It's just that these people are good and bad, and there are very few people with outstanding abilities. Most of them only have the advantage of loyalty.

The reason is that there are very few rich and powerful mansions that treat stewards and servants as talents, and it is even rarer to act like Pei Yue.

These 18 people have grown rapidly under Mr. Xi's precept and deed for nearly three years, and then directly entered Xiangyun to practice. At the same time, geniuses such as Ye Qi and Gu Fan often guide martial arts practice. Such conditions are enough to make many powerful children envy.

For these sons of village households, the reason why they were able to change their own and their family's destiny was entirely because of the young Marquis who was sitting on the throne.

Facing these young and fiery gazes, Pei Yue said with emotion: "Today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only 20 days before the New Year's Eve. It is supposed to be the time to reunite with your relatives to celebrate the festive season, but I want you to go out of Beijing to go to the north and south on errands. guilty."

Everyone shook their heads, and Qi Min was the first to speak: "Master, we have lived in the capital these years so comfortably, everyone wants to go out and do things for the young master. Take Yang Hu as an example, he has nagged in front of me more than once, Said that the young master is partial to Feng Yigaiju's gang who came later, and also said that if he is a personal soldier for the young master, he must be better than those guys."

Cheerful laughter resounded in the meeting hall.

Yang Hu is now more mature and stable, but at this moment he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "When did I say that the young master is biased? But if the young master is willing to let me be a personal soldier, will I be worse than those people?"

At the beginning, there were only more than 18 people in Luliuzhuang. After Pei Yue selected the first batch of 18 people, he selected another 36 people in the autumn of the fourth year of Kaiping, making a total of [-] people.Feng Yi and Gai Ju were the leaders of the later group of people, and now they are in charge of the soldiers around Pei Yue.

Pei Yue glanced at Qi Min. In fact, when he discovered the clue of the inner thief, he was the first to suspect this person, because he had an extremely strong sense of utilitarianism.But after a long period of observation, Qi Min was considered loyal, and Pei Yue gradually came to his senses.For this kind of smart person who wants to get ahead, as long as he doesn't fall completely, he won't change his family.

Pei Yue has no spiritual obsession, and he will not ask his subordinates to be saints, so he smiled and said: "Qi Min, I heard that your old man has found a girl for you, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back when he leaves Beijing this time. , how about I give you a half-month vacation first?"

Everyone laughed, and Qi Min hurriedly said: "Young master, there is no such thing. I am only 24 years old this year. Why should I be in a hurry to get married? The task on the young master's side cannot be delayed. Please tell me, we will leave Beijing tomorrow." !"

"Yes! Master Tian Dadi has the most important thing!"

"Master, please tell me, no matter whether I go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, I will not frown."

"Qi Min's words are correct. I have been living in the capital for these years, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

The enthusiasm of the crowd broke out, Pei Yue raised his right hand, and everyone immediately quieted down, only to hear him say with a gentle expression: "After the tasks are arranged today, I will give you five days off, and spend this time with your loved ones, it is considered an early holiday." New Year's Eve."

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to accept it, Pei Yue smiled and said: "There is no need to be so anxious, I still need to make some preparations, even if you want to leave, you can't leave."

Only then did the young people die down. As Pei Yue's confidantes, of course they knew the vicissitudes of the city during this period of time. Everyone held their breath in their hearts, angry at the cold reception and suppression that Pei Yue encountered.They knew that they couldn't tell the outside world about this emotion, because the person who suppressed Pei Yue was the emperor, so they desperately hoped to do something for Pei Yue.

Not only these young people think so, but all their elders think so.

Pei Yue understood their thoughts, so he was naturally moved, and said in a more gentle tone: "You all know the situation in the capital, so I won't repeat myself. From this winter, the business of Xiangyun and Qinyuan in the capital will be closed. stagnation, and may even take the initiative to choose to downsize. You don’t have to think about the underlying reasons for this, just remember that in the future, I will focus on the development of the lower state capital.”

The crowd listened intently.

Pei Yue continued: "The situation abroad is slightly different from that in Kyoto. You not only need to support the operation of the firm, occupy the local market as soon as possible, but also train two groups of people. One is the operation personnel of the firm, because this time you After leaving Beijing, it will not be as safe as before, and we need to spread the stalls as soon as possible. The second is true confidantes, I need you to establish information channels in every place you go, not only to collect local business information, but also to inquire about government and private information. intelligence."

"Yes, young master." Everyone agreed in unison.

Pei Yue began to call names: "Wang Yong, Yang Hu, Cheng Zhonghe."

The three of them stood up tall and straight, with firm eyes.

Pei Yue said with full expectation: "The three of you are going to Lingzhou. Qi Min has already started to investigate the situation there before. Let him transfer the manpower and information to you later. Build the Xiangyun first, and wait until the time is right. Then build Xingyang Qinyuan."

"Yes, sir."

"Lingzhou has a vast territory. It can not only radiate Dengzhou and Yuzhou, but also communicate with Western Wu. The market potential is huge. The governor Tang Youzhi is close to me, and there will be no official obstacles. You should take Xingyang City as your The core spreads to the surroundings. It needs to be noted that after the Xiangyun enters Lingzhou, it does not have to abide by the previous rules, and it can do whatever it takes to make money, and I want to see results as soon as possible.”

Wang Yong pondered: "Master, if you pursue speed, you need to invest a lot of capital."

Pei Yue said approvingly: "You're right, but I've already made up my mind about this matter, so I'll talk about it later."

The three nodded in unison.

Pei Yue asked them to sit down, and then said to the others: "Wang Yong and the others went to Lingzhou to develop, and the rest went to the south. Now that Mr. Xi is in Qinzhou, you report directly to him, and he will tell each of you specific tasks."

All the people were all overjoyed and excited.

Pei Yue said: "Lingzhou should try their best to make a big noise, and they must obey Mr. Xi's instructions in every action in the southern border. Besides you, each of you will pick five shopkeepers and fifteen assistants, and tell them that their salaries will increase again." Thirty percent, and it will increase every year in the future.”

Yang Hu said cautiously: "Master, will this cause a shortage of manpower in the capital?"

Pei Yue's mind flashed in the minds of the stewards of the former noble mansions. When he said that the silver for the recovery of shares was drawn from the dividends, the eyes of those people intertwined, and they smiled calmly: "Xiangyun has 100 yuan in the capital. There are many branches, and I don’t know how many people are jealous, so I just let them go.”

This question was briefly mentioned by him, and then he said solemnly: "Next, let's talk about the silver issue."
