The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun and others were still drinking.

Seeing that it was almost time, Magistrate Liu ordered the singer to leave and began to discuss the matter.

Ye Kun said: "We now need a large house as a transitional factory. The construction of the formal factory must begin immediately."

County Magistrate Liu said, "Across the wall, there is a large courtyard with three entrances. It is the residence of County Magistrate Wang. Wang said that he will move out this afternoon, vacate the house, and start making salt."

"That's good!"

Ye Kun nodded and whispered, "Lord Wang's house is used to make salt. The filtered brine should be placed in Lord Liu's backyard to prevent our technology from leaking out."

County Magistrate Liu nodded repeatedly: "Lord Ye's arrangement is very appropriate."

County Magistrate Wang said:

"I suggest that tomorrow, County Magistrate Liu personally bring hundreds of kilograms of fine salt and soldiers to escort him to the county governor to build connections between the upper and lower levels... Then, we will make a big move and do it in a big way."

Magistrate Liu thought about it and accepted the suggestion: "It may take me seven or eight days to come back. I will leave the family affairs to Lord Wang and Lord Ye."

Ye Kun clasped his fists and said, "I will fulfill my responsibilities and do my job well."

County Magistrate Liu added, "Oh, right, the county governor sent a message on horseback, asking us to recruit 500 soldiers and train them for war. As for the military pay, I have already arranged for County Magistrate Wang to allocate it."

"Recruiting soldiers for war?" Ye Kun frowned slightly.

"It's the county magistrate's order and it must be executed." County Magistrate Liu sighed.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Ye Kun nodded and asked about Tian Sanhuai's case again.

County Magistrate Wang said, "Tian Sanhuai and his two sons are in prison, and the files have not been sent up yet."

"Give them to me. They can be considered as exiles here. It just so happens that it's difficult to recruit soldiers." Ye Kun said calmly.

"Yes, that's a good idea."

County Magistrate Liu chuckled and said, "There are still seventy or eighty prisoners in the prison. Lord Ye, please take a look. If you can use them, use them. This will also reduce the difficulty of recruiting soldiers."

It was very difficult to recruit soldiers these days. Not long ago, Shangguan Jifu led his troops to fight and finally recruited 500 soldiers, but he took them all away.

Another 500 soldiers needed to be recruited, but County Magistrate Liu found it difficult to accomplish the task.

Throughout the ages, there has been a practice of sending prisoners to the army. It is not against the rules to use young prisoners to strengthen the armed forces.

If there is any violation, it is that one is not allowed to be exiled locally.

The country is in chaos and disorder, and discipline has collapsed. The court can no longer do much and can only turn a blind eye.

Ye Kun's evil plan succeeded and he nodded repeatedly.

After dinner, Ye Kun went to take a look at the backyard, called Xiao E, and talked to him in the bedroom.

Xiao'e lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ye Kun.

Ye Kunyi stretched out his hand, pulled Xiao'e to sit on his lap, and asked in a low voice: "What did the Madam ask you this morning?"

"Madam asked me how many times I did that last night, and I said three times. She asked me how long each time was, and I said about half an hour...Madam also asked if I kissed you, and where you kissed me, and also asked...Oh, by the way, Madam also looked carefully at the bed sheet..."

Xiao'e blushed and stammered.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "What else did you ask? Don't be shy, tell me everything."

Xiao'e bit her lip and whispered:

"Madam even asked me if I felt comfortable... I said I didn't know, and then she called me a slut and said I was a hypocrite..."

"So, are you feeling comfortable or not?"

Ye Kun became naughty again. He put his hand into Xiao'e's clothes, climbed to the top of the snow-capped mountain, and lingered there.

"Sir, I..." Xiao'e became even more shy and her breathing became heavier.

"Okay, Xiao'e, I will take you away. And your grandfather, father and uncle, I will come out too. Tonight, let your family be reunited."

Ye Kun let Xiao E go, stood up and said, "You guys work, I'll go and arrange things."

"Thank you, sir. I will do anything for you."

"I got it. Get up." Ye Kun rubbed Xiao'e's head and went out to do some work.

First, the salt refining and filtering equipment was added. Then, Ye Kun took a dozen soldiers and the case files of the county government to the prison.

There was a musty and rotten smell in the prison.

The jailer took Ye Kun to see Tian Sanhuai and his son first.

When Tian Sanhuai and his two sons saw Ye Kun, they were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly:

"Master Ye, please forgive us. I am willing to give you all my property..."

"Get up! All your property has been confiscated by the government."

Ye Kun waved his hands and whispered, "Don't scream, I'm here to save you, Jiaojiao, let me let you go."

"Ah, Jiaojiao?"

Tian Sanhuai was stunned, and then kowtowed with his two sons.

Ye Kun waved his hand again: "Your case has been changed to fighting. The death penalty can be exempted, but you must be exiled to the army."

Tian Sanhuai heard this and cried:

"Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant... But if I am sent to exile, I am afraid I will still die. At my age, I am sick all over..."

Being sent into exile, one could either do hard labor or be cannon fodder.

The possibility of surviving is very small.

"Why are you crying? I haven't finished yet."

Ye Kun rolled his eyes and said, "You will be exiled to the army and serve under me. I will arrange some easy tasks for you."

"Ah, sir, you are truly the savior of our family!"

The Tian family's father and his two sons kowtowed like crazy.

"I am doing this for Xiao'e's sake, because Xiao'e is my woman now."

Ye Kun stopped talking nonsense and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Take off the shackles from Tian's father and son and enlist them in the barracks."

Then, Ye Kun selected some young prisoners and interrogated them briefly.

Some people are wrongly accused and are innocent.

Some people are detained for minor crimes because they have no money to bribe people.

Ye Kun selected a dozen people and took them back to the military camp.

Tian's father and son escaped death, but they were both trembling with fear and treading on thin ice.

Ye Kun took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Tian Sanhuai:

"You go and rent a house, find your women and children, and settle them down. Then, you stay in the barracks and do odd jobs, tending to the horses."

Tian Sanhuai knelt down to express his gratitude.

Feeding horses is the easiest job in the military camp.

Moreover, there were only thirty horses in Ye Kun's military camp, and three or four veterans were serving them.

Ye Kun looked at Tian Xiao'e's father and uncle again:

"You two, take a rest for now, heal your injuries, and then listen to my instructions."

As for other selected prisoners, Ye Kun comforted them with kind words and asked military doctors to treat their injuries.

After everything was arranged, Ye Kun went to Magistrate Liu's residence again. He brought Tian Xiao'e out on the pretext of making salt-refining equipment and arranged for her to meet her father and uncle in the military camp.

The family reunited, hugged each other and cried, then knelt down to thank Ye Kun for his kindness.

Ye Kun ransacked her house and took her daughter away, so she has to thank Ye Kun for that.

This is Tian Sanhuai’s retribution, and also the sorrow of the lower class.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Kun pulled Tian Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, Jiaojiao misses you. I will take you to see Jiaojiao."

Tian Xiao'e nodded, bid farewell to her father and uncle, and got on Ye Kun's carriage.

The Lotus Restaurant on South Street is doing extremely booming business!

There were not enough seats and many diners were queuing outside.

Free bone soup was given away at noon, and more than a hundred bowls were distributed, which immediately became a hit among advertisers.

Diners from the county town flocked in.

Jiaojiao, Yulian Chunhua, Xiugu Yuemei were busy all the time and sweating profusely.

Aunt Wang from next door also came over to help greet the guests.

Ma Fugui collected the money and settled the accounts, his face blooming with smiles.

Ye Kun and Tian Xiao'e squeezed into the tavern and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we came at the wrong time."

Ma Fugui saw Ye Kun and hurried over to him: "My dear son-in-law, you are back? Business is so good, Jiaojiao is in the kitchen at the back, cooking and making soup..."

"Uncle, don't accept any more guests. Wait until the group that's eating here leaves and then we'll close."

Ye Kun nodded and took Xiao E to the kitchen.

"Sister Jiaojiao..."

Seeing Jiaojiao, Xiao'e rushed over, hugged her, and burst into tears: "Sister Jiaojiao, thank you for your kind words. Lord Ye saved me and my whole family."
