Life Winner Training Guide

, not to mention she also vaguely guessed that Mr. Wang Ke, the master of Shenyouyuan in the side courtyard, was probably Sun Yifang's most valued adviser.

As a prince, Sun Yifang has his own team, which can help him handle affairs on weekdays and help him sort out the situation in the court. With this team, when Sun Yifang is named king in the future, he will naturally be promoted to the position of chief minister. Shi Si. But among those people, no staff member could be as valued by Sun Yifang as Mr. Wang Ke, and Princess Zhao would not neglect those whom her husband valued.

"Intense temperament, fond of fantasy, valuing feelings..." Zhao Han looked confused. She felt that a woman with this kind of personality was not a good wife candidate. Why was Mr. Wangke so strange and liked this kind of thing?

"If there is no candidate, please ask Your Highness to find out slowly. It is best not to be a girl from a famous family, but from an ordinary scholarly family or from an innocent family." You Hongyin added: "Don't want anyone with a good reputation."

Although he thought his taste was strange, Zhao Han still took the matter to heart. Mr. Wang Ke was already in his mid-twenties, and he was not married yet because of his strange hobbies. You have to solve this problem no matter what.

On the other side, You Hongyin began to systematically build Sun Yifang's reputation. At this moment, his extensive travels around the world and his experience in later generations came in handy.

The first step is the ultimate move. He has been engaged in maritime trade for several years and has collected many fine varieties, including corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Corn and potatoes were purchased from Persian merchants, while sweet potatoes were discovered in Southeast Asia. These three things have been reproduced in the Shenyou Garden greenhouse for three or four years. There are already a large number of grain varieties that can be promoted on a large scale. At the same time, You Hongyin also sorted out the cultivation methods, eating methods and precautions. In today's environment where agricultural output is so low, these three high-yield grains are a huge credit and a huge reputation. He, a poor scholar with no background, cannot afford such credit and fame, but Sun Yifang, the third prince's son, can.

And the reason why he made a big move in the first step was to take advantage of the fact that the prince was not wary yet, so that Sun Yifang could truly compete with the prince by solidifying his achievements and reputation. It is better to increase your own strength by only pinning your expectations on your opponent's mistakes.

Sun Yifang handed over the memorial at the court meeting with a look of emotion on his face. He felt that You Hongyin, as a confidant and friend, really had him in mind. Such a huge contribution was given to him silently to build his reputation, but he himself Look down on fame and fortune, and quietly do this kind of meritorious deeds behind your back that can bring millions of people to life.

It can only be said that this move allowed You Hongyin to gain enough trust from Sun Yifang.

Chapter 8 Dream Lantern Turned to Ashes (8)

Saibei camp.

"Have the army rations arrived?" Li Pin, the commander and envoy to the town, asked.

When the world was conquered in the past, everyone had a good life, and the food and grass reward military merits were sufficient. However, since the world was peaceful, even the jackals in the grassland were afraid of Dayin's army. After they fled far to the grassland further north, the army's Life became difficult.

Behind the glory and pride is the crisis of being ignored and even facing disarmament.

To be honest, we are poor in culture and rich in military affairs, so how can any general who fights in the war not take free pay? Otherwise, with the meager military rations of a real person's hair, I'm afraid I won't be able to support these brothers who are going through life and death. This matter was brought to the forefront by several civil servants two years ago. The emperor himself had also led troops, so he naturally understood that these things were unspoken rules that everyone knew well, but when it was brought to the surface, he had no choice but to deal with it. .

However, it is precisely because of the emperor's seemingly light-hearted treatment without actual punishment but showing his attitude that all armies have a difficult life. The soldiers in some other areas can still support themselves by working in the fields, but the several large armies guarding the border have suffered. Most of the border conditions are harsh, and there is nothing they can do if they want. There is basically no harvest in the fields, and they can only rely on the money sent by the court. Live on military pay.

Among them, the Saibei camp under Yan Nanshan was the most miserable.

Yan Nanshan is a relatively upright person. He was a personal attendant of the emperor at that time, so other generals would also engage in heretical things. If you think about it, he is a bit of a sideline and wants to make a fortune, but this Yan Nanshan doesn't have any extra money. In the past two years, the army has been able to To keep it going, it turned out to be relief from the emperor's private treasury.

A governor in charge of food and grass said happily: "I'm here. As expected, as His Majesty's decree said, the army rations are 50% more than usual. Brothers don't need to go hungry."

Li Pin immediately stood up and said: "It's really 50% more? Where did the treasury come from with so much grain? You can see clearly what it is, don't just make up for it with a pile of gravel grain or bran."

Governor Tian said: "My subordinates have seen it. They are all good food." He paused: "It's just that my subordinates have never seen some of them and don't know what they are."

Li Pin said: "Is the escort officer still there?"

"We have arranged for the big tent to rest."

"Why don't you take a break? If you ask clearly, everyone can rest assured." Li Pin was brought out by Yan Nanshan. His temper was exactly the same as that of Yan Nanshan. He was upright and did not know how to adapt, and he was not afraid of offending others.

Governor Tian had no choice but to take the people to the big tent where they rested.

The grain officer was not angry when he arrived. He explained in a good voice that the extra military grain was a newly discovered grain variety by His Highness. They were all produced in His Majesty's Imperial Manor and had been promoted around Kyoto. The extra grain was harvested They are all supplied to the border defense armies everywhere. The grain guard also explained the cooking, preservation and planting methods of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes before being put back to rest.

In many border guard camps, such scenes happened frequently, and many people silently remembered the third prince in their hearts.

The generals who are now guarding the border camp are all veterans who fought with the emperor himself in the past. They can't see anyone else in their hearts except today. Even the prince is just a symbol of the next emperor, and the other princes cannot be excluded. The fact that he is remembered by these people today is the success of Sun Yifang.

This is only the second year of the promotion of these grains. In a few years, people all over the world will benefit from this, and the reputation of the third prince will be even higher.

"Sir, you are a great talent," Sun Yifang said happily: "Although I have not made friends with the courtiers, many people have shown goodwill to me openly and secretly, and several court elders have also softened their attitude towards me."

You Hongyin said: "Your Highness, please don't be deceived by this situation. For the gentlemen in the temple, things that are beneficial to the people are what they want to see. The goodwill released is just to express gratitude for His Highness's service to the people and the world." It's just a contribution." He paused and sighed: "Even if they come from a wealthy family, these elders are still sages and nobles who worry about the world. The identities of humble scholars and counselors have never been incompatible with each other. Those who can gain His Majesty's trust are all great talents in the world. Although they will seek benefits for their own families, they will also keep the people in their hearts. . It can be said that they have found the best balance between the interests of both parties, and their choices are what His Highness should learn the most. "

Sun Yifang listened very well to the advice, and couldn't help but nod in agreement after hearing this. He also admired these people: "Then what should we do next?"

You Hongyin said: "I heard that His Highness has fallen in love with another beauty recently?"

Sun Yifang was a little embarrassed: "It's a dancer sent by the Zhou family. I haven't used it, but she dances very beautifully. Recently, I often enjoy it with Lian'er."

You Hongyin said: "As His Highness's counselor, I should also do what a counselor should do."

Although he did not speak harshly, Sun Yifang often saw this man scolding Fang Qiu while he was chatting and laughing. When he heard this tone, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression became serious: "Sir, please tell me."

"First advice, even if Your Highness likes beauties, don't accept gifts from others, and don't act too openly just because you have a clear conscience. In this world, reputation is the easiest thing to be destroyed, and reputation is the hardest thing to change. "If your Highness doesn't want to be labeled 'lecherous' for the rest of his life, then he shouldn't pay any attention to it and act more cautiously on weekdays."

"Second advice, how long has it been since your highness began to practice in the court? As the saying goes, you will miss a book when it is used. If your highness just wants to be an ordinary royal child, what you have learned is indeed enough, but if your goal is more than so, so What you have learned in the past is lacking, and you need to work harder. If you wait until the big thing is done, you will have neither time nor energy. Read ♦ Read ♦ Netizens ♦ Organize ♦ Upload ♦

"The third advice is actually something I hope Your Highness will convey to His Highness Zhao. The Imperial Prince's Mansion is not very large, and there are not many people in His Highness's Mansion, but even so, after what happened in the Mansion, word spread everywhere. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of His Highness Zhao. Before fighting outside, one must first put the house in order. If the chaos in the mansion is not sorted out, I am afraid that all the achievements will be lost in the future."

Sun Yifang, who had three words of advice, broke out in a cold sweat and saluted: "Thank you sir for the advice. I know what to do."

Then he left immediately and went to make up for his shortcomings.

Liu Mengzhi came out after the others left and said, "You would have discovered this kind of thing as soon as you moved into the Prince's Mansion. Why didn't you tell me about it until today?"

You Hongyin chuckled softly: "At this time, it is said that the counselor is dedicated and hard-working, but his loyal words are hard to hear. When he first came here, he said that he was just pointing fingers and having ulterior motives. Tsk, it seems that not only are you not very good at turning around, but your emotional intelligence is also quite low. "

Liu Mengzhi secretly cursed himself for being a bitch and disappeared immediately.

You Hongyin also added slowly: "You are such a glass-hearted person. I only said this for your own good. Why did you leave? Every winner in life grows up from the abuse of others."

For You Hongyin, time is leisurely. He drinks tea and admires flowers on weekdays. If he is interested, he goes back to Shenyou Garden to have a meal. Even though he was doing something as tiring as seizing an heir, he didn't feel even a little anxious.

In the past two years, he has secretly trained a group of young people. The number is not large, and each person has been trained according to their talent. However, the time is relatively short, and they have not yet been put to great use.

The crew members who were brought back to Beijing all got married, took on apprentices, and started a new fleet. However, they were not engaged in maritime trade, but were responsible for transportation and management.

You Hongyin bought a lot of slaves in batches, and then had the fleet transport them directly to Nanyang. He was very familiar with the location of the minerals outside. As a maritime trader, he went directly to mine. What the fleet brought back had been refined. A lot of money. Of course, this business model is full of risks, and if one step goes wrong, the consequences will be unpredictable, but he has taken adequate warning measures.

The fleets responsible for transportation and management have all married and started businesses, and their families still live near Shenyou Garden. The food source of the slaves he bought was all transported by fleet, and he couldn't understand the local indigenous language, which was not a big deal. Moreover, the treatment he gave to the miners was not bad, and he often bought female slaves to do logistical work, so naturally he liked them. Those who get married in Nanyang cannot make trouble even if they want to.

Ha, it's hard to make everyone in the world live in peace and happiness, can't you be a slave owner who orders people around? This world has thousands of years of experience in enslaving slaves, and those who are enslaved have long lost the consciousness of pursuing freedom.

So, You Hongyin is now rich, and it is estimated that the emperor is jealous.

You Hongyin still has only one servant, Mo Qi, but Mo Qi is really a blockhead and can't do much. Later, You Hongyin found a more special person among the people he bought. His name is Zhuo Leng. He is a descendant of a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty. When the nest is overturned, no eggs are left intact. When the previous dynasty was overthrown and the new dynasty was established, he had become a slave who had no choice but to be a slave. This person is ambitious and capable, but he has no good background. In the end, he became the most capable subordinate around You Hongyin. Now the fleet and overseas mines are managed by this person. You Hongyin lets go of these detailed matters and doesn't worry too much.

The turmoil brought by the new grain seeds gradually subsided. When Sun Yifang was in high spirits, he gradually felt something that he had never discovered before. The father who seemed to be very good to his children did not seem as kind as imagined. It was just that what he had always seen was the father's side, not the emperor's side; the mother who seemed content with having two sons was not really indifferent, but seemed to have deeper desires; the crown prince who was friendly and respectful to his brothers and devoted to assisting his father was not as confident as he seemed.
