Chapter 5 Recruiting Guards

Cai Yong left early the next morning and left in a hurry. Although he was exempted from exile with the help of the Wei family, according to the law, he had to go to Luoyang to thank the emperor first, and then return to his hometown to farm. It had been delayed in Hanoi for some time, so Cai Yong left in a hurry.

"Young Master, what did you talk to Mr. Cai just now?" Uncle Liang looked at Ye Zhao curiously. The two of them had retreated and talked for a quarter of an hour before saying goodbye. As an old man who served the three generations of the Ye family, Grandpa Ye Zhao had already been the head of the Ye family since the beginning. Uncle Liang even saw the rise of the Ye family again more than Ye Zhao.

"The matter of becoming an official." Ye Zhao shook his head. Since he was talking about it with his left and right, he naturally could not tell others, even his uncle could not say it.

"Young Master." The maid Xin'er trotted to the two of them and gave Ye Zhao a land deed.

"What is this?" Ye Zhao looked at Xin'er in confusion, wonderingly.

"It was the title deed sent by the Zhao family." Xin'er said: "The young master was not at home just now, so Xiner brought the title deed here."

"Lot deed?" Ye Zhao opened the title deed and looked at it. Uncle Liang frowned and said, "This is the title deed we mortgaged to the Zhao family before. What is the purpose of sending it back now? Could it be that they are going to kill them all and take our shop?"

Ye Zhao shook his head, took the land deed back to his arms, and thought for a while and said, "I will send the piece of glass from the Western Regions to the Zhao Mansion later. I heard that the old man of the Zhao family is so jealous of this piece of glass."

"Young Master, this... is the master's favorite thing in his lifetime. Is it a gift to others like this..." Uncle Liang frowned.

"It's impolite to come but not to go. Mr. Zhao is willing to let us go, so we can't be stingy." Ye Zhao said with a smile. This is a signal of showing goodwill among these gentry in the city. Before, Wei Xian took advantage of his position to seize the property of the Ye family, and the gentry in the city. Now that the things have returned to the original owner, it can be regarded as these people willing to shake hands with Ye again. The real benefit in the court yesterday was not the physical objects in front of him, but the connections.

Ye Zhao didn't know when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. His impression of this era had already become blurred with the passage of time, but it was enough to know the general direction.

The appointment of the court cannot come too quickly. Even if Cai Yong is in a face, Ye Zhao estimated that in less than a month or two, he would not be able to wait for news. The next few days would be calm, and even Wei Xian seemed to have really realized his mistake and was quite honest during this period.

Ye Zhao moved to a manor outside the city the next day. Although the place where he was about to take office was uncertain, it would definitely not be in Hanoi. However, Ye Zhao did not intend to give up the industry in Hanoi. In the past few days, Ye Zhao spent almost all his time restoring his body.

This body is too weak. You should know that in the grand environment of the end of the world in the previous life, as the leader of the side, in addition to strategizing, he must also have strong strength. After ten years of exploration and later gathering a lot of talents, Ye Zhao gathered more than a dozen top talents in his previous life to develop a practical solution to improve his physical fitness.

The combination of his own exercise, food and medicine can tap human potential to the extreme. Unfortunately, this plan was sold before it could be promoted and came to this time and space. However, as a participant throughout the process, Ye Zhao was very clear about the entire process. However, after years of fighting in his previous life, his body left many hidden injuries and was no longer suitable for these trainings. However, although his body in this life was weak, it was well maintained, and he could use the genetic enhancement plan of his previous life on himself.

Moreover, this era has advantages that cannot be compared with previous lives. Many medicinal materials were considered very precious in previous lives. In this era, they are not a big deal, but they are definitely not related to preciousness. Unfortunately, the industrial level in this era is limited and cannot directly act on the body through injection. They can only be taken by oral means. Such results will be much slower than direct injection, but the benefits are that there are no side effects.

According to Ye Zhao's estimate, this plan will take about one to three years. After all, the experimental subjects in previous lives were basically completed through injection, and the cycle was only three months. The one to three years of oral administration cycle was estimated by professional talents, and no tests were really conducted, so the error range was very large.

However, without the external environment of doomsday, life is quite relaxing for Ye Zhao at the moment. There is no need to worry about it every day, nor do you have to worry about where to collect supplies, and how to maintain the virtuous cycle of the base city. As for life, although many things are very primitive, Ye Zhao even gnawed the bark and grass roots in the most difficult time in his previous life. He is quite satisfied with the current living environment.

In the eyes of the few remaining people in the Ye family, Ye Zhao has become a little weird since he woke up. Not only does his thinking no longer be as old as before, but his behavior is also very different from the past. The most important thing is that in the past, Ye Zhao would not practice martial arts at all. It was only after the poor and rich martial arts were poor after the emergence of printing technology and the learning cost was greatly reduced. In this era, cultural heritage relies on bamboo paper, and the preciousness of books is far beyond the cost of practicing martial arts. Therefore, if you study this era carefully, you will find some interesting things. For example, the top strategists basically came from big families, and there are many poor strategists, but very few can reach the top level. Moreover, these poor strategists also have a close relationship with the aristocratic families.

However, top families rarely have excellent generals or commanders. On the contrary, some wealthy families are more likely to have good generals. As for those who really come from the bottom, there may be top-level generals, but it is difficult to have excellent commanders or advisers.

This is the rule summarized by Ye Zhao after studying the history of Han after training these days. Of course, it is not boring. Judging from these superficial data, the more uneven the distribution of talents goes to the later stages, the proportion of talents at the bottom is gradually shrinking or even disappearing, and differences between aristocratic families and wealthy families have begun to appear. This difference can almost be said to be solidified now, and the class is born.

The solidification of classes is often the foundation for the demise of a dynasty. The subversion of dynasties is not so much a game and reshuffle between the upper class society than a game and reshuffle between the upper class. Although China has a history of 5,000 years, if carefully divided, from the pre-Qin to the last Qing Dynasty, there were many dynasties, but if carefully analyzed, in fact, during this period, the Chinese civilization was actually in a vicious circle of continuous reincarnation. The change of dynasties did not drive the progress of the times, and even regressed in many cases. It was not until the Western powers invaded China that this vicious circle was terminated.

The aristocratic family is really right. Every era has its characteristics. In this era, the aristocratic families have formed a circle of cultural monopoly. They have mastered the top talents and the upward channels left to the bottom are shrinking. The shrinkage of this channel will gradually arise in the hearts of the lower class, which is the so-called public resentment. When this public resentment reaches a certain CD, once it breaks out, it will be invited by the era of dynasty changes.

It is not difficult to break it. Printing itself is not something that requires too many skills, but at the moment, Ye Zhao is not ready to break it because he is now a member of this circle. No matter what he wants to do in the future, his current identity will only benefit him and not harm him in the early stage. Moreover, if he takes too much, the greater the backlash he will suffer. The pioneer usually has no good ending. Ye Zhao did not intend to be this pioneer, or he was not going to do it himself.

As for the future... Ye Zhao has not fully planned his future now, having foresight is a good thing, but if he sees too far, he will easily ignore it. At present, it is most important to accumulate strength first. This is not only because he is doing this, but many people are doing it.

But he has a clearer view of his future direction than others and has a stronger purpose.

"Young Master, you have brought you all the people you are looking for." In the manor outside the Ye Family City, Uncle Liang brought a dozen strong men with wide arms and round waists forward, bowed to Ye Zhao and said.

The Ye family has been recruiting guards recently to prepare for Ye Zhao's upcoming official career. Although the Ye family is now in decline, it is still aristocratic family. In this year, the court's taxes are getting heavier. After all, the Ye family is also aristocratic family. There are still many people who can make money with them. It is not difficult to recruit guards.

"Everyone, this is Ye Zhao, my son of the Ye family." Uncle Liang looked at the dozen people behind him and smiled.

"We have seen Mr. Ye." More than a dozen strong men bowed together.

"Well, there is no need to be too polite." Ye Zhao stood up, walked forward, and looked at these strong men carefully.

"Young Master, these people are all famous rangers in my Hanoi." Uncle Liang followed Ye Zhao.

The so-called Ranger is just a general term. Under this title, all kinds of religions and all walks of life are included. For example, Hu Laosan, who was killed by Ye Zhao before, called himself Ranger. Among this group, most of the rogues accounted for, and the rest were basically bandits who occupied the mountain and became king. Of course, there were also some willful second-generation people who learned martial arts and swayed around and stood up to their dissatisfaction, but these people were generally only a few.

"Since Uncle Liang said that you are famous rangers in Hanoi, I think you have some amazing skills. Can you show it to Ye?" Ye Zhao waved and two servants walked up with a box.

"Open." In the puzzled eyes of the strong men, two guards opened the box, and saw that the box was filled with Wuzhu coins.

"The Ye family recruits guards, and there will inevitably be dangers in the future. They are willing to stay and have real skills. This box of money is considered to be the settlement fee for you, one box per person. I will not treat my own people badly. Of course, if your skills cannot make me moved, I can only ask you back. Uncle Liang will give you hundreds of dollars each, which is considered a blessing fee." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said calmly: "Now, who will come first."

"I'll do it!" A man with muscles all over his body, a beard and blushing face came up, looked left and right, and in Ye Zhao's unexpected gaze, he raised a stone the size of a millstone on the ground, raised it high above the top, and walked more than fifty steps back and forth before he put down the bluestone with panting.

"No," Ye Zhao said with a touch of his hand. The bluestone is at least 200 kilograms. It can be lifted up and walked back and forth like this. Not to mention the natural divine power, it is not worse than those weightlifters in previous lives. With this kind of strength alone, ordinary people can't afford to offend him. He nodded and said, "Very good, a hero can get his name."

"Someone is called Ding Li." The strong man said hurriedly.

"Can you know martial arts?"

"This..." The strong man scratched his cheek and said, "Young master, I am just a farmer, martial arts... I don't know."

"It's rare." Ye Zhao nodded: "Stand behind me with money. If you have Wuyi, someone will teach you in the future."
