Chapter 227 Future trends
It's night, in a house in Wenfu.
The house is brightly lit, with a pot of boiling water and several tea cups on the table. Wen Han and Xilong sat opposite each other, and Xilong's face was a little solemn.
Because they are discussing the future direction of Wenhan Group. The original article Han also invited Guan Yu and Xu Huang, but the two of them did not seem to like the arrogant character of drama, and each refused with different excuses. Besides, it's good for Wen Han to judge and make decisions.
Wen Han's arrogant personality made him arrogant and arrogant. The two brothers were not happy and no longer forced him. But Wen Han believes that over time, the relationship between the three will gradually improve.
"Lord, as I and the two of you analyzed just now, the world will not only be chaotic, but also chaotic in the future! Within five years, the world will enter the era of princes.
Lord, there is a place in Hedong. Hedong is the mouth of the lifeline of the world and a place that soldiers must fight for. In the future, it will become the heart of all princes. The lord should be prepared as soon as possible and accumulate strength to avoid being passive at that time.
"Well, I understand. But how to do this accumulation power?
Earlier, Xilong has analyzed and confirmed with Wen Han that there are some things that can't see the light. Wen Han knew that there was no need to hide people like Xilong, because he could see them at a glance.
So Wen Han unreservedly expressed his thoughts and intentions to the play. After Xilong learned what Wen Han meant in his heart, he called Wen Han in private.
Wen Han feels a little strange about this name. Although Xilong can call him directly, Xilong asserts that he refuses. The reason is that this master's name can be used as a reminder and spur.
As a later generation, Wen Han knew that it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to make a difference at this time. Sooner or later, the world will be in chaos. No matter what Wen Han thinks, this is something that can't be changed. And Wen Han is now surrounded by a lot of soldiers, and their future and lives are in Wen Han's hands.
As the leader of this group, Wen Han needs to be responsible for them. Therefore, he must become a prince, so that the people of this group can have a future and survive in the troubled times of the future princes.
As for Xilong, with his vision and intelligence, he has long analyzed the future direction. When he confirmed that Wen Han was going to become a prince, his worried heart also calmed down a little.
The reason why he chose to follow Wen Han is that he was moved by Wen Han's character and the righteous deeds he did, and the other was that he had a common ambition with Wen Han.
In order to realize the world driven by public opinion, this road is long and long and full of thorns, and Wen Han's becoming a prince is just the first step.
"Please tell me all the forces you hold under your surface. In this way, I can decide where to start first."
Xilong knows that with his background in Wenhan District, he can achieve a lot of power in this world. Of course, he has a lot of cards. Xilong's words can be said to hit the nail on the head and go straight to the core of Wenhan's power.
However, Wen Han did not hesitate to say it all. These include the gambling house opened in Hedong, this capital income, and the use of the gambling house to secretly collect manpower, the combat power of the black wind horse, and some of the hidden troops in Xie County. Tell the drama without any omission.
Xi Long was moved. Just one day after he came, Wen Han dared to tell him these life cards related to his power. This unconditional trust made Xilong shout that his choice was right.
"So, it's a rough estimate. There are about 12,000 people under the command of the lord. The generals who are good at fighting are about Xu Gao and Pei Zhou. Among them, the three generals of Guan Xu Gao have the talent of generals, and the two generals of Pei Zhou can be used as pioneers.
In terms of funds, the gambling house can be supported for a period of time. But the troubled times are coming, and I'm afraid it's impossible to rely on the income of the gambling house to maintain the expenditure of one side in the future. Therefore, the lord should find a second way to make money as soon as possible.
Although the lord's military strength is not much, as the lord said, most of them are elite soldiers. In terms of military strength, it is still sufficient.
The origin of the lord is not the same as that of Cao Mengde and the Yuan family in Runan. They come from a rich family. After arriving at the territory, as long as they shake their arms and cooperate with the forces behind them, it is not difficult to gather troops.
Fortunately, the soldiers and horses under the command of the lord are all elite divisions. In this way, I don't have to worry about this force. The lord only needs to do a good job in the training of these 12,000 soldiers and improve their combat effectiveness.
However, in the future, this 12,000 troops are not enough, but the good thing is that the emperor ordered the lord to eliminate the surrounding rebellions. The lord can secretly subdue the thief soldiers and increase the troops. It is best to have 30,000 troops within five years. In this way, we have the strength to challenge other princes.
But these are not the things I have to do. If we want to develop, we must first stabilize it. The identity of the lord is destined that after you take office in Hedong, you will not be as smooth as Cao Mengde and the Yuan brothers in Runan. There will be a lot of difficulties. The lord must first stabilize the land in Hedong before he can make other plans.
Well, there are three points of gravity I just mentioned. If it is urgent, we should first stabilize Hedong, then eliminate the chaotic forces, increase the strength, and then find a financial road that can support the operation of our forces.
Wen Han nodded comfortably. Xilong really had the talent of heaven and earth, and this analysis was thorough and hit the nail on the head. Wen Han filled a cup of tea for Xilong. Xilong was not polite and picked up the teacup and drank it all.
After Xilong put down the teacup, Wen Han asked again.
"According to Zhicai's words, stabilizing Hedong is the top priority, but how should I stabilize it?"
There was a flash of light in Xilong's eyes, and his spirit suddenly concentrated and said two words heavily.
"Change the blood."
Wen Han's wisdom is not bad. Xilong doesn't need to say something too clearly, and he already understands. After Wen Han heard the word change of blood, he immediately meditated. This is a big project, and it is extremely difficult to implement.
"In Hedong, 80% of those who hold real power are all officials from rich families. These people only care about the family and their own interests, just like a moth rice worm, which is harmful to Hedong and has no benefit. Lord, if you don't clear them, it will be difficult to walk in Hedong, because the Lord is not the Lord of Hedong at all!"
Xilong's words made Wen Han's body tremble. Wen Han's face suddenly turned dark.
"In this way, these people have to take it. However, the clans behind these people with talents are all important rich families in Hedong. Whether it is the land they own, private soldiers or their family business, it is the key to the land of Hedong. If you turn against them, I'm afraid that the whole Hedong will be paralyzed.
"Of course, I have thought about this a long time ago. And there is a plan that can temporarily paralyze them. At that time, the lord will sweep away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, reduce their power and power, and make them a toothless tiger.
"What's the plan? Let's talk about it quickly."
"The rise and fall! The lord can give these people some irrelevant and powerless official positions. On the surface, they have been promoted, but in fact, they have been deprived of their power by the lord. At that time, the Lord will promote some capable people from your command and occupy their positions, and then you will be able to collect the power in the hands of these people in your hands.
"This is just a short-time strategy. If they react, won't they make trouble?"
"Ha ha, my lord. My plan is just to buy you time and take away the power in their hands. The lord should quickly increase his strength. In troubled times, no matter how much land there is, gold and silver are more precious than military strength. As long as the lord has enough troops at that time, these people want to counterattack and also weigh their strength.
And the lord secretly collected their land and relaxed the policy to attract a group of merchants from other states and counties. At the same time, the master can also secretly cultivate some small businessmen and let them become the riches of the master.
At that time, these rich families will not have enough land and commercially to affect the lord, and they dare not rebel against the lord with heavy soldiers. In order to survive, they will naturally bow to the lord.
"Haha, good! Zhicai deserves to be my brain."
Wen Han's eyebrows unfolded. How to rectify Hedong has always been his problem. Although he also has some plans, it is much worse than the plan of Xi Zhicai. What Xi Zhicai said just now can be said to be a brain spirit that is about to twist Wen Han's mind into a ball.
After that, Wen Han and Xi Long have been talking about late at night. Wen Han's importance to Xi Long allows Xi Long to let go. He has arranged the direction of the Wen Han Group in the next three years and almost all the general things to do.
It is getting closer and closer to the day of taking office. Wen Han greeted the drama with the carriage of five horses and the gift of Wang Shi. Surprisingly, among the poor scholars, he actually caused a frenzy of officials.
Many hesitants, or secretly observing, gathered in Wenfu to enter the official residence. Compared with Wen Han's surprise, Xi Long had a predictable and determined posture to receive these scholars for Wen Han.
And Guan Xu and the two of them are not as good as they used to treat Xilong. They are not clumsy people. This very different situation must have changed because of Xilong's participation.
Or, his arrogance that day has a certain deep meaning.
