Chapter 121: Li Ge's Worries

While the three of them were talking, a maid came in and brought tea to the three of them, and then quietly retreated.

Yang Feng took a sip of tea and then said leisurely: "Mr. Wu, Lord Lan, I believe that both of you also know that this official has done some small business in Nanjing, right?"

Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou laughed at the same time, and a hint of envy flashed in Wu Zhenliang's eyes and nodded, "Of course I know this. I heard that Lord Yang and Duke Wei and Duke of Britain had some misunderstandings, and it was also because of business."

Yang Feng shook his head helplessly. He looked at him and felt the smiles of these two people scent of gloating.

"That's right!" Lan Shanyou also said: "I heard that Lord Yang specializes in selling glass and various treasures from overseas to sell in Nanjing. He can be said to be fighting gold every day, so he has brought up such a army that dares to fight."

I got... Yang Feng smelled a strong sour smell from this person's tone.

But it is no wonder that as the glass Yang Feng got from modern society gradually spread from Nanjing to surrounding areas, Yang Feng's name has gradually become known. Not to mention anything else, Yang Feng has received more than 200,000 taels of silver from Donglaishun Silver House in the past three months, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is making money every day. No wonder Lan Shanyou spoke in that sour tone.

Yang Feng smiled slightly and said disrespectfully: "The two adults don't know that the risks at sea are very huge. From the Ming Dynasty to Oubaro, if there are five ships of cargo, it is God's blessing. People only see that I have made a lot of money in Nanjing, but who will realize that these things are transported from Oubaro, a thousand miles away, after many hardships, it can be said that these money was summoned by countless sailors and friends with their lives. If anyone is not convinced, he can go to Oubaro to buy goods. I will never be jealous."

Yang Feng said this, but Lan Shanyou and Wu Zhenliang couldn't speak.

They are right. These silvers are exchanged for their lives. If you are not convinced, you can sell them in Obaro, no one will stop you.

After a while, Lan Shanyou said a little disappointedly: "Mr. Yang specifically told Lan and Mr. Wu today?"

"Of course not." Yang Feng smiled slightly and showed his snow-white teeth, and said slowly: "I intend to start a branch in Zhenjiang Mansion, which is specifically responsible for selling glass and some gadgets. I hope the two adults can take care of them."

"Mr. Yang wants to open a new store in Zhenjiang Mansion?"

Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with joy.

"That is, Zhenjiang Prefecture is backed by the canal transportation, and it is also the intersection of Yangzhou, Liyang and Changzhou Prefecture. It is also an important transportation hub. It is also necessary to open a shop here. Of course, the official of the rules understands that he will follow the rules for every expense, so please rest assured."

Yang Feng said so clearly and so "the best way", so Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou could no longer pretend to be confused. As the prefect, Wu Zhenliang nodded first: "As a local parent, I naturally hope that local people and gentry can use good things. When Lord Yang's new store opened, please send an invitation to explain that I and Lord Lan will definitely give me a gift."

"Thank you, sirs!" Yang Feng knew that this was done as soon as he heard it. He stood up and thanked them with a smile.

"You are polite, Lord Yang, I wish you prosperity and prosperity again."

Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou also smiled. They also heard how popular Yang Feng’s glass was in Nanjing. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily wage of gold. As the first and second leaders of Zhenjiang Prefecture, they will have a large amount of "filial piety" every month, according to the convention. This is already the latent rule that the Ming Dynasty has almost disclosed.

After the three of them chatted for a while, Yang Feng then stood up to say goodbye. Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou got up and sent him to the yamen.

When Yang Feng took the reins handed over by Song Ye and turned over the horse, his eyes flashed past Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou, who were still standing at the door watching him leave, were also feeling a little emotional in their hearts.

It is so realistic in the Ming Dynasty or modern officialdom. If he were still the small fifth-rank thousand households, although Wu Zhenliang and Lan Shanyou were definitely polite, he would never personally send him to the door after the talks. This is the change brought about by the improvement of official positions and power. After all, there is a big difference between a fifth-rank thousand household and a third-rank commander. Moreover, Yang Feng is now a third-rank, which is two or three levels higher than Wu Zhenliang's fourth-rank and Lan Shanyou's fourth-rank. Although he is a military position, he is also a third-rank.

On the last day of late June, Yang Feng led the soldiers from the Qianhu Station of Jiangdongmen to the Qianhu Station of Jiangdongmen, and was warmly welcomed by all the military stations of Qianhu Station and the refugees who were working.

As soon as the team returned to the Qianhu Station, they saw some soldiers' families standing on the side of the road and waiting for them, and many of them looked worried.

When the team arrived at the competition, the baggage soldiers walking behind placed more than a dozen spiritual positions on the competition, which immediately caused bursts of crying.

When Yang Feng saw the family members of the soldiers who were crying sadly, he was also very sad.

There are wars and casualties. Although Yang Feng was ready for this expedition, more than a dozen soldiers were still killed in the battle in the past half month.

However, this is the result of Yang Feng's efforts. You should know that without the complete armor and weapons provided by Yang Feng and the antibacterial drugs obtained from modern society, the team's casualties would definitely be even greater.

Next, Yang Feng convened the owners of the Thousand Household Institute to hold a plenary meeting and announced the rewards to the soldiers who went to the expedition.

In addition to receiving 30 taels of silver per person, the soldiers who went to the expedition also praised some sergeants who were particularly brave in combat.

The few of these soldiers received dozens of taels of silver rewards, and the more than a hundred taels, and some even promoted one level.

Finally, Yang Feng announced that each of the soldiers who died this time was compensated 100 taels of silver, exempting their families from 20 years of taxes. If there are children underage, the Qianjia Office is responsible for raising these children until they are 18 years old. If there are elderly people but no siblings in the family, the Qianjia Office is responsible for raising the elderly for their elderly. Yang Feng arranged for them to arrange a job for them at Qianjia Office, and there are 30 kilograms of rice and flour and certain silver subsidies every month, which are distributed until they die.

When Yang Feng announced the decision, the whole competition was sensational. Not to mention the families of soldiers who were so excited that they could not be themselves, even the surrounding military households were shocked.

What is the most feared thing for those who are in the army? It is nothing more than being injured and living a helpless life or having no one to take care of their family after they die. Now, you are injured and Lord Yang is responsible for raising you. If you die, Lord Yang will be responsible for helping you support the elderly and raise your children. Don’t even hear such a good thing in the past, I have never heard of it.

From ancient times to the present, no one in the army has ever heard of such a good thing. For a time, some cheered and some cried on the school grounds, and some even knelt down to kowtow to Yang Feng to thank him.

When Yang Feng got off the stage, he was held back by Li Ge.

"Mr. Yang, do you really want to do this?"

"What? Li Limu thinks that this official is lying?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Li Ge quickly waved his hand, "The adults misunderstood. The students are not suspicious of the adults' sincerity, but... just..."

"Just what?"

Seeing Li Ge stuttering, Yang Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and his face darkened.

As Yang Feng became an official for a long time, his official position became stronger and stronger. In addition, his evil aura had not yet disappeared after he had just returned from the battlefield. Therefore, when he got so angry, Li Ge felt a great pressure shrouding on him.

"Sir, don't be angry." Li Ge quickly said: "Students heard a few days ago that the emperor specially appointed you as the commander of Jiangning Guard. I believe you will be in a few days. This was a good thing, but you must know that once you serve as the commander of Jiangning Guard, your troops will be more than our Thousand Households.

There are four thousand-household military households and their families in Jiangning Guard, and at least tens of thousands of people. You gave us thousand-household conditions such as good conditions, what about the remaining three thousand-household offices? Do you give it to it or not? If you do this for every thousand-household office, the villain is worried that no matter how much money you have, you will be able to survive."

Looking at Li Ge's anxious expression, Yang Feng's face calmed down. He patted Li Ge's shoulder with some relief: "Li Limu, it is really difficult for you to think about me like this. But I can tell you here that you underestimate me too much. If I don't have that diamond, how dare I take on the job of porcelain?

Not to mention, the money I earned from selling glass these days is enough to support the owners of the other four thousand households. In addition, I will have to add several more shops in Zhenjiang Prefecture and other places in a few days to develop our business to the surrounding states and prefectures. Then, let alone four thousand households, it will be fine if there are a few more."

Hearing this, Li Ge suddenly realized and said with shame: "So that's it, that's because the students are thinking too much. I hope the students are talking nonsense just now, but I hope you don't blame me."

Yang Feng smiled and said, "You don't need to apologize. At least from here, you can see that you are a careful person and considerate of your own. I should praise you based on this alone. Let's do this. When a few Japanese officials go to Jiangningwei to take office, you should also follow me and serve as the chief clerk in Jiangningwei."

"Chief's Regiment?"

Li Ge was a little stunned for a moment and did not report it for a while. After a while, he said tremblingly: "Sir, do you really want to appoint a villain as the chief clerk?"

"What, don't you want to be?"

"No...No...the villain just can't believe it. The chief clerk...Isn't it necessary to have the fame of a juren to be a scholar? The villain is just a scholar."

Li Ge was knocked out by this pie falling from the sky. You should know that in the garrison, the chief clerk can be said to be the top leader in charge of logistics and property, and all accounts must be passed through his hands. The most important thing is that the chief clerk already belongs to the official rather than the official.
