Chapter 182 Changfeng Escort Agency
After Wei Jichen returned to the room, he asked Wang Huaiqing to find Zhang Zuolin. Now that the war was over, Wei Jichen had to make arrangements early.
Not long after, Zhang Zuolin, dressed in military uniform, appeared in the room.
"Wei Shuai, are you looking for me?" After so many days of fighting, Zhang Zuolin has long lost his original immaturity, and his face shows a calmness that does not match his age.
Wei Jichen looked at the future king of the Northeast, now his favorite general. After this period of inspection, he had been able to gain Wei Jichen's trust.
"Sit!" Wei Jichen pointed to the chair opposite him.
Zhang Zuolin behaved properly, with only his lower buttocks sitting on the chair, his upper body straight, his feet together, and he looked like he was sitting upright.
"Do you know why I came to see you today?" Wei Jichen glanced at him gently and asked calmly.
"I really don't know!" Zhang Zuolin quickly replied.
Wei Jichen waved his hand, smiled softly and said, "Relax, I'm not a man-eating tiger."
Zhang Zuolin thought to himself: Tigers can eat people and spit out their bones. Wei Shuai, you can eat people without spitting out their bones. Of course, he only dared to feel sad in his heart and did not dare to express it with his mouth.
"Yuting, you have been following me for a long time, right?" Wei Jichen sighed, picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip.
"Is there something bothering you, Marshal?" Zhang Zuolin asked doubtfully. The war is almost over, and he is just waiting to be promoted and make a fortune. Why is Marshal Wei still looking so sad?
Wei Jichen shook his head and said helplessly: "There is one thing that worries me, but it is not only related to me, but also to the whole Wei Zijun."
Wei Jichen pointed to the sky and continued: "I got news from above that once the war is over, all the armies will be demobilized and reorganized. I don't know what the fate of our Wei Zijun will be."
Zhang Zuolin comforted him: "We, Wei Zijun, have made great achievements in battle, so the imperial court won't dismiss us, right?"
Zhang Zuolin's own expression was a little uncertain. After all, who could tell clearly about the affairs of the imperial court.
"I don't know what the court will do for the time being, but I have to start looking for a way out for our brothers Wei Zijun. In addition to going to the capital for activities, we must also make complete preparations." Wei Jichen said calmly. .
Seeing him like this, Zhang Zuolin felt reassured and asked with a smile: "Commander, does he have something in mind?"
Wei Jichen secretly sighed that Zhang Zuolin was so thoughtful. No wonder later generations were able to lay a huge foundation in this complicated Northeast.
"Yes, you also know that we have just made a small fortune in Jinzhou City." Wei Jichen said meaningfully: "Brothers worked hard to get it, so naturally they have to take some from it, but every share There are not many of these in the hands of brothers. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. I want to use these money to open a escort agency in this northeastern land so that the injured brothers can have someone to rely on. In addition, Wan If I, Wei Zijun, are to be dismissed, it will be a good time to strengthen this escort agency."
Wei Jichen made his plans clear.
"The commander-in-chief, do you want me to come forward to handle this matter?" Zhang Zuolin asked cautiously, looking a little hesitant.
If Zhang Zuolin comes forward, he will definitely retire from the army. Now that he is a battalion officer, he will naturally be unhappy about being demoted from the regular army to a bodyguard agency.
Wei Jichen knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and said with a smile: "Haicheng is your hometown, and you are most familiar with the Northeast. Today's Northeast is in chaos, with bandits and defeated troops everywhere. Let's open a restaurant The Escort Agency is naturally rich in resources. I believe that we, Wei Zijun, have the strength to make this Escort Agency bigger and stronger. Soon, the entire Northeastern land will bear the flag of our Escort Agency. Isn’t it thousands more powerful than this small battalion officer? Ten thousand times?”
Zhang Zuolin gritted his teeth and thought to himself, if he did it, continuing to be a battalion officer would be a disaster. He might be dismissed one day. If he opened a bodyguard agency and Wei Zijun's old brother joined him, would he be afraid that it wouldn't grow? ?
"Shuai Wei, thank you for your respect for your subordinates. I will definitely handle this matter well." Once Zhang Zuolin made a decision, he was determined to get things done.
Wei Jichen nodded and said with a smile: "I will first select twenty old brothers from the army to help you, let them withdraw from the army due to injuries, and then contact some former brothers as the backbone, and the rest will It's up to you to recruit from various places. Record the amount of money needed and report it to me."
Zhang Zuolin vowed: "Commander, my subordinates must do business throughout the entire Northeast."
"Yuting, your ambition is too small! Can the Northeast satisfy you? What we want to do is to do it nationwide, to do it all over the world, just a few provinces, it's not enough." Wei Jichen heard Zhang Zuolin If he said that, he couldn't help but reprimand him. The future king of Northeast China will only be successful at this point, so how can he do it?
Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing Wei Jichen's words. This man really dared to think about it.
In fact, Wei Jichen's goal was not without purpose. Becoming a bodyguard was just the first step. On the sea, he would also build a fleet and secretly develop a navy under the guise of trade. By then, he would have both water and land, and he would have the world.
"Commander, I want you to give me a name for this escort agency. I'm a rough guy and I can't give you a good name." Zhang Zuolin touched his forehead in embarrassment and said with an honest face.
"Well, let's call it Changfeng Escort Agency." Wei Jichen casually thought of a more familiar name and settled on it.
The reason why Wei Jichen wanted to run a escort agency was that he could hide among the soldiers and escort masters, and that the escort agency's business could get in touch with people from all walks of life, making it easier for him to develop in the Northeast.
You know, Wei Jichen already had a preliminary plan in his mind, which was to first obtain the Liaodong area, and then the entire Northeast. To do this, necessary intelligence was indispensable, and the escort agency was the open intelligence network, and the red light was the dark intelligence network, one open and one dark, which was the most convenient for spying on various intelligence.
Zhang Zuolin was full of energy and left happily. Wei Jichen took out the letter left by Nie Cairong and read it word by word.
Nie Cairong left quietly before Wei Jichen returned to Gaiping.
The beauty had gone, leaving only the letter, which made him sad.
"Seeing a letter is like seeing a person. Brother, Grandpa sent a letter saying that my mother is critically ill and asked Cairong to go home quickly. Cairong thought again and again that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. Fighting for the court is loyalty, so let me do it; going home to visit my mother is filial piety, so let me do it. Brother, don't worry when you see this letter. Cairong may have returned home safely. In addition, I hope that after the war, you can come to our house to discuss important matters."
Then there are some private words, which are not suitable for outsiders.
Although there are no graceful and moving words, the love expressed directly and unmistakably in it also moved Wei Jichen.
After the war, go to discuss important matters?
What important matters? It can't be a marriage, Wei Jichen's heart jumped for no reason.
Now, he dare not marry Nie Cairong. Nie Shicheng's prestige is very high, and his prestige is not small. If the two families marry, do you think Cixi can sleep well?
Don't let this ruin Nie Shicheng's training mission, let's wait for a while.
After collecting the letter and putting it into the space, Wei Jichen asked Wang Huaiqing to send someone to guard the door and not let anyone in without orders.
Because he wanted to take advantage of this free time to enter the super teacher system and learn from Bai Qi.
