The most arrogant in history

Jiaojiao nodded, turned around obediently, turned her back to Ye Kun, and sat in his arms.

Ye Kun gently scrubbed every inch of Jiaojiao's skin, as if he was facing a fine work of art, unwilling to be even slightly rough.

The sound of water is like a cheerful mountain spring.

"Brother Kun, are you tired? I heard... you were panting..."

"Jiaojiao, you are also panting, and your heart is beating very fast."

"I'm not tired, I'm happy. I'm very happy to marry Brother Kun. Even if Sister Yourong beats me and scolds me in the future, I'll still be happy..."

"Yourong is very nice, she won't hit or scold you, don't worry."

Ye Kun and Jiaojiao finished washing until the water in the basin was almost cold. They wiped each other's bodies and walked towards the big bed.

Jiaojiao was like a bud about to bloom, pink and tender, covered with dew, and appeared delicately in front of Ye Kun.

That night, Ye Kun couldn't help himself.

This night, Jiaojiao fully blossomed...

Fortunately, the newly bought big bed is very sturdy and there is no creaking.

The oil lamp had run out of oil, but Ye Kun and Jiaojiao were still awake and whispering to each other.

"Jiaojiao, does it hurt?"

"Brother Kun, you feel sad for me, but I am very happy... I don't feel any pain..."

"Good sister, I will always feel sorry for you." Ye Kun felt warm in his heart and hugged Jiaojiao tightly.

It felt like I hadn’t slept for long before daybreak came.

Jiaojiao got up quietly and prepared to work.

Unexpectedly, Ye Kun also woke up and grabbed Jiaojiao's arm: "Jiaojiao, sleep a little longer."

Jiaojiao kissed Ye Kun and said, "Brother Kun, I am married to you now. I am your wife. I can't sleep in anymore. I have to work."

"nonsense."

Ye Kun smiled and pulled Jiaojiao into his arms again: "You didn't marry me, I married into your family and became your son-in-law, so you can sleep in without worry."

"I don't have the good fortune to have the county lieutenant as my son-in-law." Jiaojiao came up again.

However, Ye Kun stopped at the right time.

I’m worried that Jiaojiao’s body can’t handle it.

Delicate flowers need love and care.

After washing up and having a meal, Ye Kun went to the county government to work.

Since I'm the acting county lieutenant, I have to do something to show it.

When County Magistrate Wang saw Ye Kun, he smiled and said, "Master Ye, you've come just in time. Master Liu wants to have a meeting with us."

Ye Kun nodded, and went to see County Magistrate Liu with County Magistrate Wang.

County Magistrate Liu ordered tea to be served and said with a chuckle:

"Master Ye, the bean paste in your house is really delicious. My family all eats it with gusto and eats an extra bowl of rice at a meal."

Ye Kun clasped his fists and said:

"I'm at the South Street Tavern. I asked Ma Fugui to sell me bean paste. If you like it, you can send someone to get it. I also hope that you can promote my bean paste. If everyone buys it, I can also make some change to support my mother."

Ordinary people are very poor, and bean paste is a luxury item that most people cannot afford.

To open up the market, we have to start with the high-end population.

"Master Ye, I've been having a headache these past two days because of the tax issue, and I don't have the mood to eat."

Magistrate Liu sighed again: "The people below are in arrears with their taxes, and we have repeatedly urged them to pay, but to little avail. Lord Ye, do you have any good ideas?"

County Magistrate Wang also said, "Master Ye, today we are discussing the tax collection."

Ye Kun frowned: "Isn't the county lieutenant only responsible for training and leading troops, suppressing bandits and catching thieves? I can't help with things like collecting taxes, right?"

County Magistrate Liu was not satisfied: "Why can't you help? You take the troops down with the tax collectors and arrest all those who owe taxes or just rob their homes of valuables. Take whatever you can!"

Damn, just rob it?

Why don’t you go to Xiping Mountain and become a bandit?

"Sir, please listen to me." Ye Kun thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said:

"If we go down to rob things, it might provoke a civil uprising, which is not worth the loss. Besides, the villagers are very poor, and they don't have anything good worth robbing. Even if we rob and sell them, the money will only be enough for the soldiers to eat."

The common people are all poor, Ye Kun can't bear to collect taxes!

I no longer want to be a county lieutenant and I won't do such things.

Moreover, collecting taxes is not the responsibility of the county lieutenant.

County Magistrate Liu was annoyed: "Then what do you say we should do? Where can we get the money?"

Ye Kun smiled slightly: "If you are not in a hurry, there are many ways to make money. Moreover, the people will be convinced and respect you very much."

County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then his anger turned into joy: "Haha, I knew Lord Ye had a way. How do you get the money? Tell me now!"

Ye Kun was not in a hurry and deliberately kept the suspense going: "If you follow my advice, the tax revenue of this county can be doubled or even quintupled in one year."

County Magistrate Liu was so anxious that he stood up and left the table, bowing to Ye Kun: "What are we going to do? Lord Ye, please tell me!"

"There are many ways to make money, too many to list all at once."

Ye Kun sat down and said with a smile:

"Xiping Mountain is located in a strategic location, at the junction of two counties, and is often a no-man's land. Although the ruthless bear was wiped out by us, new bandits and refugees will soon gather there to form bandits."

County Magistrate Liu frowned: "Does this have anything to do with making money? Should we wait another two years until there are bandits in the mountains, and then go and suppress them to make money?"

"It does matter. I haven't finished yet."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "The Shili Avenue at the foot of Xiping Mountain is an important passage for this county and one of its economic lifelines."

County Magistrate Wang asked, "What is the economic lifeline?"

"The lifeline of the economy is the road to making money. If there is a road, there is money to be made. I suggest setting up an official merchant protection team in Xiping Mountain and stationing it in Xiping Mountain to protect merchants and ensure they pass through Xiping Mountain Avenue safely."

Ye Kun smiled:

"In this way, we can collect some protection fees and prevent banditry from happening again in Xiping Mountain. With the protection of soldiers, merchants will be willing to take the Xiping Mountain Avenue. Then, the commerce in this county will be more prosperous. With more merchants, won't the tax revenue in this county be more?"

To the west of Xiping Mountain is Xichuan, the land of abundance.

Ensuring the smooth flow of key areas is crucial to the economic development of a place.

This is a small strategy to build a nest to attract the phoenix and attract investment.

The cost is close to nothing.

County Magistrate Liu thought about it, his eyes lit up: "Lord Ye really has a good idea. I entrust you to set up a merchant protection team immediately!"

"Don't worry, sir. The Xiping Mountain merchant caravan I just mentioned can make money, but it will be slow at first. Far water cannot quench near thirst. Moreover, the money earned is small."

Ye Kun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I have another way to make a lot of money, and it will be effective immediately."

"Master Ye, I was not wrong about you!"

County Magistrate Liu took two steps forward excitedly and held Ye Kun's hand: "As long as you can make a lot of money, I will never treat you unfairly. I will give you 30% out of 100%!"

Ye Kun laughed: "My lord, I still say the same thing, no matter how much you give me, it is your reward."

Money is a good thing, but when you don’t have enough strength, too much money will cost you your life.

It's like a three-year-old child showing off gold ingots in front of a robber, which is tantamount to seeking death.

Ye Kun is not in a hurry to make money, he wants to develop his own strength first.

Slow development is the right way to go.

County Magistrate Wang was so anxious that he could not sit still and asked repeatedly: "Master Ye, what is the solution? Tell me quickly!"
