Chapter 135: Confidential
Chapter 135 Confidence
Ye Anlan had expected it a long time ago. After all, scholars are smart. Smart people tend to think too much. Once they think too much, various conspiracy theories will follow.
She asked Yang Xiaotao and Wei Zhen to take the fishermen to sweep the tail, so as not to be followed here - the horses and captives had to be placed in hidden places in the mountains, and the horseshoe marks from the river to the village had to be cleaned up. .
In addition, she also arranged for many fishermen to guard outside the village, just in case someone suddenly came over.
After sending away all her younger brothers, Ye Anlan briefly talked with Pan Yunzheng about her experience and plans.
"I originally lived in a small village in the north, because there were always bandits and rioters raging in the village, and corrupt officials were also very exploitative, and life was really difficult, so we fled southeast with our family."
"After fleeing for many days, I finally found a decent place to stay, but because there are too many companions gathered on the road, it is difficult to bring everyone into the local people without a trace. We have no choice but to find it by ourselves. I lived in seclusion in a vast and uninhabited mountain forest."
"At present, we have built a house, opened up wasteland, farming, breeding, spinning and weaving and other things have been on the right track, and the canals and fortifications have also begun to be repaired."
"I plan to develop other businesses in the future, such as drying salt, making tea, blacksmithing, brewing wine, opening medical centers and schools. These all need manpower, but not every kind of talent is available in our team."
"I've recruited a lot of skilled people at the foot of the mountain, but it's hard for me to persuade someone like you who has read poetry and books to go up the mountain with me."
Scholars are indeed not as privileged in troubled times as they were in prosperous times, but as long as they can let go of their restraint, those rebels may not be willing to give them a place.
Organize paperwork and manage warehouses. There must be someone to do these clerical tasks, right?
Even those scholars with a bit of reputation, even if they don’t do anything, most people are willing to support them for the good reputation of "lixian corporal".
Compared to Ye Anlan, who was secretly expecting all his friends to roll in, these leaders of the rebel army who only needed their reputation and were more powerful were obviously more popular with those scholars.
Ye Anlan wants to set up a school on the mountain, also wants to open a medical clinic, and even wants to lay iron, salt, and tea by herself. She also plans to set up a caravan and secure her own people like nails It smashed into the surrounding states and counties.
"The little girl has a lot of ambition." After hearing Ye Anlan's future plans, Pan Yunzheng stroked his beard and said this in a compliment or derogation.
Ye Anlan said that she would not take the scapegoat, "This junior just wants to protect himself in this troubled world."
She wants to be peaceful, yes, but in this chaotic world, if your fists are not strong enough, how can you enjoy peace to yourself?
The reason why Xanadu is Xanadu is not because it is a paradise, but because it is "outside the world".
Her Mengshan doesn't have the geographical condition of being isolated from the world. No matter how careful she is, her Mengshan can't always be quietly hidden under the eyes of others.
As Pei Huaiyu said, once she develops Mengshan, there will be countless people around who want to take advantage of the off-the-shelf.
How can I not be taken advantage of by others? It must have the ability to cut off all the protruding claws cleanly.
There is a saying that goes, “If you don’t have a gun in your hand, everyone will regard you as a granary; if you have a gun in your hand, your granary is everywhere.” Uh, cough, delete the second half of the sentence.
In short, Ye Anlan said that she must seize all production and arming, and never leave any opportunity for anyone to take advantage of.
"Then what do you want the old man and others to do for you?"
"Teach and educate people, or help me manage things. It depends on your personal ability and my actual needs."
Ye Anlan caught a glimpse of someone's reluctance, so she added in a very understanding way, "Of course, I won't force you to work for me just because I saved you."
The most important thing about her is your love and my wish, "I am really short of people, but not so short that I don't want to be picky at all. Those who are reluctant, have different intentions, or feel that they are more capable than me, want to I don’t want anyone who climbs on top of me and tells me what to do.”
Everyone's expressions were different, but no one spoke for a while.
Ye Anlan was afraid that they would have scruples, "I still say the same thing, what I'm looking for in recruiting is your love and my willingness, and I won't force you to go up the mountain with me just because I saved you."
"Although I do have selfish intentions in robbing prisoners, I will not kill you because my selfish intentions are not satisfied. It is said that you are all willing to do practical things for the people and are also very talented. I think people like you, Living should be more beneficial to the people than being dead."
The others were somewhat moved. They didn't expect that the imperial court and the royal family that they dedicated themselves to serve failed to recognize them, and a little girl who aspired to become a female mountain king was willing to rescue them based on a little hearsay.
Pan Yun was staring at Ye Anlan with his wise old eyes, "What if we don't want to stay?"
Ye Anlan shrugged, "Then I'll let you go too. Don't look at me like this, I'm actually very arrogant. If others don't like to talk to me, I will definitely not force my head. Can't do it."
"You can see it."
Ye Anlan smiled, "A big heart is my most insignificant advantage."
As soon as she said this, more than half of the teenagers and children in the room couldn't help laughing.
These children who have been taught "modesty is a virtue" since they were young, this is the first time they have heard someone praise themselves so immodestly, especially this person is still so independent in front of their father and grandfather. Stimulate.
Ye Anlan coughed, "In short, if you are willing to do things for me, I welcome you very much. If you are not willing, then I will send you to the nearest county after you recover from your injuries here, and give you money and dry food , and let you find yourselves to find relatives and friends elsewhere."
Others were dubious, but Pan Yunzheng saw seriousness from Ye Anlan's expression and tone. Others are old and sophisticated, who is full of lies and who is true and credible, he sees more clearly than anyone else.
The old man stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "I have one more question."
Ye Anlan nodded, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Pan Yunzheng looked around at everyone present, "I won't mention the old man's family. The old man's first wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter have all hanged themselves before being imprisoned."
He controlled his tone, trying to hide the choking in his voice, "But for the others, each of their families has female relatives who are still alive. I don't know how the little girl plans to arrange these people?"
