Chapter 31: Don't Find Your Way
Looking at Lu Hong's angry expression, Gao Yuan knew that he was really angry. What he had seen before was Lu Hong's caring and sheltering side of himself, but it seems that his behavior this time has pierced his sore spot. To be more precise, it made him feel that he could not control the situation. He had paid full wages here. Then Zheng Xiaoyang's team must have asked for this. When the team from Curie Pass came back, they must have done the same thing. It doesn't matter whether the money was raised privately by himself or given by Lu Xianwei, there is no problem with the widow, but the problem is uneven. In the past, everyone didn't have it. It was like this. Although poor, people would not starve to death. If someone like him makes a fortune, he will inevitably be jealous. If Lu Hong does not agree, the army will inevitably be unstable. , As Lu Hong said, Zhang Shouyue's subordinates are numerous, but there are only a dozen county magistrates, so I don't know how many people are staring at this son!
However, it is not acceptable to give full pay. Because as Lu Hong said, there are more than a dozen counties in Liaoxi County, and Fufeng County is only one of the Communists. If Lu Hong does this, he will become a target. Maybe Zhang Taiyue is the prefect The soldiers of Liaoxi County in Liaoning Province have not been paid full salary. Lu Hong set such a precedent that even Prefect Zhang would be unhappy.
It's no wonder that Lu Hong was angry. Gao Yuan did this, and it was the cheese of all county magistrates and even Zhang Taishou in the entire Liaoxi County.
After I figured out this section, Gao Yuan's mind quickly turned around. How can I get Lu Hong to agree to this matter and let him participate? In the previous life, Gao Yuan could not control his own destiny at all, and the people he followed were only some Money is far from being a power. Although it is said that it has a lot of responses in the underground society, it is still vulnerable in the face of the state power, but even so, they will easily take their own lives. Live again, Coming to this era, Gao Yuan wants to understand a lot of things. The era he is in now is more cruel than his previous life. If he wants to live well, he can make himself and his loved ones no longer hurt. Then you must have enough power.
Lu Hong pinned his hopes on Zhang Taishou, Gao Yuan was noncommittal, Zhang Shouyue could achieve the position he is now, I don't know how many people's blood climbed up, such a person, how high and far to Enyi I don't know, but Gao Yuan knew that when it was time to make a choice and make an exchange, Zhang Shouyue sold Lu Hong without even blinking his eyes.
Without strength, no one will respect you.
But Gao Yuan wouldn't tell Lu Hong about these ideas, and even if he said it, he didn't necessarily understand. What kind of method could he come up with to get Lu Hong to support him?
Looking at Lu Honghu's stern face, Gao Yuan suddenly remembered a person, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Uncle, I did this not for others, but for eldest brother. I want you to do the same with me, and for eldest brother!" Gao Yuan stood up, walked behind Lu Hong, and gently massaged him shoulders, whispered.
"What does this have to do with your eldest brother? We are warriors, and your eldest brother has taken a different path. What I have to do now is to provide him with enough funds so that he can study with everyone at ease, etc. He has learned to be a teacher, and with the reputation of the Li family, he will definitely find a good position for him, Gao Yuan, I have treated you like my own since I was a child, you must be aware of this matter!" Lu Hong narrowed his eyes, Dao, "This matter has ended so far, and it will be posted this year. Starting from tomorrow, it will never be allowed, even if you use your own money to post it upside down."
"Uncle, don't be angry, you heard and told you in detail!" Gao Yuan laughed, "After you told me about the eldest brother last time, I have been thinking about it since I went back. As you said, Li Everyone is famous all over the world, and it is a blessing to be admitted to his door. Once you leave the apprenticeship, you will become a guest of the monarchs of various countries. It is not a problem to find a half-official position, but uncle, have you ever thought about it, you are just a county lieutenant , In Fufeng County, you are the number one person, but once you go out, how many people in Liaoxi County will recognize you, Uncle?"
Lu Hong hurriedly turned his head and looked at Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, what do you mean?"
"Uncle, what I mean is, the eldest brother should be in the county in the future, and get a seat that matches his knowledge in places like Jicheng, but if you want to take a firm seat in these places, sit well, or even take a step up, it's up to you. District magistrate, can you do it?" Gao Yuan turned to Lu Hong and said softly.
"You, you mean?" Lu Hong looked suspiciously.
"Uncle, so we have to plan as soon as possible to lay a solid foundation for the eldest brother in the future, and grow a pair of strong wings for his future take-off. To do all this, we must have a strong force, and let all No one dares to underestimate us, and dare not underestimate the elder brother."
"But what does this have to do with how you pay the soldiers?" Lu Hong was puzzled.
"Uncle, you are such a shrewd person, why are you confused at this time?" Gao Yuan said: "In this world, what makes the most sense? Fist, whose fist is hard, whoever says is the truth, don't you think? Zhang Isn't the prefect also a commoner, why he can sit firmly in the position of the prefect of Liaoxi County now, isn't it because he has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hand? Gather a few thousand more people for him?"
"I understand!" Lu Hong's eyes showed a trace of panic, "But Gao Yuan, I'm just a county lieutenant with only three hundred people."
Gao Yuan laughed, "Uncle, if 300 people are well trained, how can one block ten? Besides, didn't you say before that the county magistrate can lead 500 people, but they can't afford to support them? That's it, that is to say, we can justifiably recruit another 200 people. That's 500 people. If you have a team of soldiers whose combat strength is far superior to those of Zhang Taishou and are loyal to you, you can tell me that Zhang Taishou dares to do whatever he wants. replace you?"
"You're right!" Lu Hong was also a soldier, so he naturally knew the truth of political power in the barrel of a gun. Zhang Taiyue, the prefect of a commoner, was able to make a way out of the pattern of aristocratic domination of the world. There are such a group of people. The subordinates who dare to serve him." But raising soldiers requires money, where do we get the money?"
"Uncle, why did you forget Magistrate Wu?" Gao Yuan smiled.
"Does this wine business really have such a big profit?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Uncle, it's only in Fufeng County at the moment, the profit is definitely not too much, but it's enough for you to support the three hundred soldiers, but if you want more, it won't work, so we will do our best to help him expand his business, To promote the whole business to the entire western Liaoning county, this is the reason why we want to bring in Zhang Taishou as well? The bigger the business, the more money we make, and the more money we make, the more we can support Soldiers, if you raise more soldiers, you will have enough strength to expand the area where we sell wine. When Zhang Taishou tastes the sweetness, he will definitely support it. It will be like a snowball, which will get bigger and bigger. This forms a A virtuous circle, not to mention extending outside Liaoxi County, a single Liaoxi County is enough for us to feed a thousand soldiers without a problem. Uncle, to be honest, our soldiers are really easy to support, and it is a bit difficult to have food and clothing. They are very satisfied with more salaries." Gao Yuan said confidently.
"When we have enough strength, we can even sell wine to the Huns and the Donghu people. It is colder than ours, and this kind of spirits can sell better."
Lu Hong said with a smile: "If you sell wine to the people in Fan, you probably won't be able to get your money back. Those people don't have any faith, and they might rob you if they like it."
"That's why we have to have a strong force. If you dare to rob me, I will cut you off, and then rob you all!" Gao Yuan's eyes flashed fiercely. gesture.
Looking at Gao Yuan's fierce expression, Lu Hong blinked his eyes, as if he just knew Gao Yuan.
"Gao Yuan, why didn't I find out that you have such abilities before?" Lu Hong asked.
"What kind of ability does nephew have?" Gao Yuan smiled and said: "This is not the last time you said that the eldest brother has a great future, I was just thinking, how can we make the eldest brother have a better future? No, I can't study well, so I can only play with my fists and swords, and I can only think of a way from this."
"Have a heart!" Lu Hong patted Gao Yuan on the shoulder, "Gao Yuan, I really didn't hurt you in vain over the years."
