Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 90
Cheng Yu was completely fooled by Ye Xun's unusually affectionate behavior. Although he was moved, he was still puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Eunuch Ye, did we know each other before?"

Ye Xun smiled and said, "Does it have to be acquaintance to do this? Let me guess, Brother Cheng intends to go to Liaodong to make contributions?"

Although Ye Xun talked about the central matter, Cheng Yu said calmly, "Does Eunuch Ye think this is useful?"

"Of course it can be used. Although slavery is rampant in Liaodong, my Ming Dynasty is not incapable of fighting. Liaodong has been devastated by slavery. It is just a time when everything is waiting to be done. It can be said that Liaodong lacks everything now, but in the end What is lacking are those talents who can serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. Brother Cheng, when you arrive in Liaodong, Ye will definitely let you show what you have hidden in your chest."

Hearing Ye Xun's words, Cheng Yu was really moved, because this appearance had already made him hit the wall countless times. , I gave him full trust, and if a scholar dies for his confidant, he will follow him for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu stood up, bowed deeply to Ye Xun, and said, "Yu, I will never let Eunuch Ye down."

Ye Xun said it nicely, but it was to buy people's hearts. If this guy had no real talents, Ye Xun could turn his face faster than turning a book.

He ordered people to serve wine and dishes again, and then invited Cheng Yu to take a seat, and the two chatted while drinking. After this day, Ye Xun almost became a wine companion.

After raising the wine glass and toasting Cheng Yu, he said, "I don't know what kind of knowledge Brother Cheng is doing?"

Cheng Yu knew that it was Ye Xun who was teaching him, so he smiled slightly and said, "The student studied in the academy in his early years, but because of his appearance, he was not destined for officialdom, so he began to travel around the world, including Liaodong."

Very good, what Ye Xun wants is people with knowledge and experience, nodded and said: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Brother Cheng is right. Since Brother Cheng has been to Liaodong, it will have an impact on the current situation in Liaodong." What do you think?"

These questions of Ye Xun had been thought up long before Cheng Yu came, so when Ye Xun asked, he immediately started talking.

"Under Li Chengliang's connivance in the early years, the Jianzhou Jurchen has already formed wings, and it will not be calmed down in a short time."

"On the other hand, Nurhachi has not only conquered a large area of ​​land through successive years of fighting, but also tempered the Jurchen fighters in the flames of war. How can this battle be undefeated?"

Ye Xun nodded, Cheng Yu's analysis was very thorough.

I just heard Cheng Yu continue: "Although Jurchen is strong, there is also a fatal flaw, that is, there are too few people. He can only stay strong through continuous plundering, but how can those people who have been robbed be really strong?" One heart with the Jurchen? Given time, when the father-in-law and the soldiers are overwhelming the country, these ordinary people who seem to be docile may be the last straw to overwhelm the Jurchen."

"But these are of course not enough. The first thing we need to do is to strengthen the army, and then enrich the people. While gradually growing ourselves, we must also constantly harass the Jurchens so that they cannot develop with peace of mind. When the time comes, the father-in-law will final blow to it"

When Cheng Yu said these words, the light in his eyes flickered. Obviously, he saw hope in Ye Xun, a hope to show his talent and serve the country and the people.

Ye Xun was carefully chewing the last paragraph of Cheng Yu's words. Everyone understood the meaning of strengthening the soldiers, and the meaning of enriching the people was obviously to improve the lives of the people, so as to attract the fleeing people and so on.

It can be said that Cheng Yu's ideas basically coincide with Ye Xun's.

"crack, clap"

Ye Xun patted his palms lightly a few times, then picked up the wine glass, and sighed: "Everyone is drunk and I am sober. Now there are too few people in Daming who understand like Brother Cheng. Come on! I offer a toast to Brother Cheng, thank you Brother Cheng can think highly of me, I am short of a governor like Brother Cheng, I wonder if Brother Cheng is willing to give in?"

The governor's official is not big, from the seventh rank, but don't underestimate the seventh rank officials in the Ming Dynasty, because many censors in the court who catch and bite are all seventh rank, and Cheng Yu is still white now, so he can do it in one go I don't know how many people are jealous of this position.

What Cheng Yu is looking for is not a big official position, but being able to stay by Ye Xun's side and show his talents, which is the most important thing.

Immediately stood up and gave Ye Xun a deep salute, and said: "Before I came down, I had inquired about what my father-in-law did in Liaodong in detail, and it is no exaggeration to say that my father-in-law is a genius through the ages, so I dared to come to the door. Now that I am loved by my father-in-law, Yu, I will definitely Bow down, die and die"

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Ye Xun quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't die at every turn, it's unlucky. From now on, we will work together to eliminate the Tartars in Liaodong and make him a great success."

While the two were talking, footsteps sounded outside the hall. From the sound of footsteps, Ye Xun heard that Liang Zhen had returned, so he raised his voice and said, "Liang Zhen, come in, let me introduce you to an expert."

While speaking, Liang Zhen had strode in. After saluting Ye Xun first, he turned around and saluted Cheng Yu.

"Brother Cheng, this is my personal soldier captain Liang Zhen, you can find him if you need anything in the future."

When Ye Xun said this, he looked Liang Zhen up and down a few times, and asked suspiciously: "You look so bad, did you fight with someone again? Did you suffer?"

Liang Zhen felt ashamed. Hearing Ye Xun's question, he hurriedly said: "No, no, I saw a fellow from the same country. He did not do well in the capital. I advised him to go back to Liaodong with me, but he refused. He said something. Conversation, so I came back a little late, my father-in-law forgive me"

Ye Xun's intuition has always been very accurate, he always seemed to have something wrong with Liang Zhen today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He waved his hand and said: "You go first, and give some silver taels to your fellow countrymen tomorrow. Don't let the fellow villagers live too hard in the capital, lest people say that Liaodong people don't care about nostalgia."

"Thank you, grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first."

Ye Xun didn't know that Liang Zhen was already on his back at this moment. The pressure was not only from Ye Xun, but also from this weird-looking guy beside him. Zhen panicked.

Seeing Liang Zhen walking out as if running away, Cheng Yu couldn't help but wrinkled his brows, thinking to himself, since he is the captain of Eunuch Ye's personal army, he must always be by Eunuch Ye's side. Why are you so nervous?

Thinking about it, after all, it was Cheng Yu's first day here, and if something was wrong, Liang Zhen would not be the one who offended.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu collected his mind, picked up the wine glass amid Ye Xun's persuasion to drink, and drank with Ye Xun with laughter.
