The most arrogant in history

"My dear mother, you'd better strangle me to death with your own hands. I'll be happy even as a ghost if I die in your hands." Ye Kun said with a smile.

"My dear son, you are so sensible."

Ruxue gave him another bite of reward and whispered, "Let me take my time with Yuejuan. One day, I'll let you hold your beautiful girl and be happy."

"Thank you, ma'am. I will never forget your kindness."

"Okay, Brother Kun, I have to go back now. I really don't want to leave..."

Ruxue sighed, took out two gold cakes from the side, and took out a silk hand towel from her bosom, and wrapped the gold cakes: "I heard that you spend money lavishly, spend this. The hand towel is a gift from me, you have to keep it."

Come prepared, even bring money!

Is it appropriate to insult me ​​like this? Who do you think I am?

However, these two gold bars still seem to weigh about thirty or forty taels, so being insulted is not a big deal.

Ye Kun threw the gold cake on the ground, put the towel under his nose and sniffed it:

"Xue'er, your hand towel cannot be bought even with 100,000 taels of gold. I only want the hand towel, not the gold cake."

"You little fool, you don't know the benefits of money."

Ruxue smiled, bent down to pick up the gold cake, and stuffed it into Ye Kun's arms:

"Spend as much as you want, don't feel bad. Liu Zhongyu, that old bastard, has so much money that it's hard to count. But don't go to brothels, or you might get sick."

"Don't worry, Xue'er. I will sleep in the barracks and strengthen my body."

Ye Kun smiled. Who said I don't know the benefits of money? I'm just pretending to please you!

"It's up to you. Anyway, get closer to Hou Qiduo in the future. I'll come often."

Mrs. Ruxue was reluctant to leave, and finally opened the door and left.

Hou Qi arranged for his wife, maid, and the servants at home to send his sister Hou Ruxue back.

He heated up the food and wine and drank with Ye Kun.

Ye Kun said: "Seventh brother, you two have such a deep sibling relationship, it's really enviable. With your sister's care, it's no wonder that everything goes smoothly for you."

"Yes, my sister is very kind to me. She often sends me leftovers."

"Well, your sister is very nice, really very nice..."

Ye Kun was still savoring the moment.

When I first met Madam Ruxue, I couldn’t discern any charm through her clothes.

It was tonight that Ye Kun realized how good his aunt was.

It was late at night, and Ye Kun said goodbye and returned to the barracks to sleep.

It’s too late, I don’t want to go back and disturb Jiaojiao.

Ye Kun weighed the two gold cakes and found that they weighed a total of about 40 taels, equivalent to 400 taels of silver.

Madam Ruxue is really rich.

The ruthless bear got some gold and carefully made it into armor and chains and carried them with him.

But Madam Ruxue just spent forty taels of gold!

All night long, Ye Kun thought about Madam Ruxue and then Miss Yuejuan, and slept soundly.

At daybreak, Wang Bao and Zhu Dachun began training, waking up Ye Kun.

Ye Kun washed up, went to guide the training, and then gathered the new recruits of the past two days to understand the situation.

In the past two days, fifty new recruits were recruited, and the quality is pretty good.

The county magistrate ordered the recruitment of soldiers and allocated military pay, as well as a batch of bows and arrows and twenty military horses.

Ye Kun took a look and found that the military pay was paid in silver based on a structure of 500 people, which was 240 taels per month, which was quite generous.

Half of it is used for food and drink for the soldiers; the other half is used for fodder for military horses and other expenses.

It is easier to get things done if you have money in hand.

Ye Kun made a big move. First, he purchased half a month's worth of food and firewood, and then improved the conditions in the kitchen and barracks, step by step.

Wang Bao and Zhu Dachun came over and said with a smile: "Master Ye, the military pay has come, should we..."

It was an open secret in the Dading Kingdom that military officers withheld military pay.

Some are ruthless and just deduct half of it!

Ye Kun smiled and asked, "In the past, when the Shangguan County Lieutenant received the military pay, how much did he give you?"

Zhu Dachun grinned and said:

"Shangguan County Lieutenant was here for less than a month, but he left before he could get his pay. But the previous county lieutenant would give us brothers one or two ounces of silver every time the pay came down, and reward us with wine..."

"This is what I give you. Tell me if you don't have enough."

Ye Kun gave Zhu Dachun and Wang Bao two taels of silver each: "Military pay is used for fighting, it is the life-saving money of our brothers. Anyone who dares to touch the military pay or embezzle a penny will be punished by military law, and there will be no leniency!"

"Sir, how can we take your money?" The two team leaders acted hypocritically.

"Take the reward given to you!"

Ye Kun glared: "Continue training, don't slack off!"

After lunch, Ye Kun returned to the Lotus Restaurant on South Street.

The restaurant business is still booming.

Because we have refined salt and bean paste here, the shop is always crowded with people every day.

People who are a little wealthier would call their friends and come here to try something new.

Ye Kun called Jiaojiao, Sichuan sister Yulian and Sichuan sister Chunhua to have a meeting:

"Jiaojiao, I've decided to start brewing wine. I'll prepare now and start at Cangjiaolou. Let Tian Xiao'e take charge of the tavern business, and you guys focus on brewing wine."

Brewing wine is secondary, Ye Kun’s main goal is to produce alcohol.

Whether in life or on the battlefield, alcohol can be used to disinfect and treat wounds, and it is a life-saving substance.

Jiaojiao said, "But if we all leave, the tavern will be too busy with so many customers every day. By the way, Brother Kun, our tavern can now earn more than one or two taels of silver every day. My father said that it's like robbing money..."

Ye Kun chuckled. A profit of a little over one or two taels of silver a day was nothing.

That's what the dog county magistrate calls robbing money!

"If there aren't enough people, just get a few more." Ye Kun thought about it and suddenly smiled, "By the way, are there any people for sale in the Ya Market? I'll go buy some."

These days, it is better to buy people than to hire them.

The person bought back would be a lifelong slave. If you treated her a little bit well, she would be devoted and grateful.

"Tomorrow, which is the fifth day of the month, will be the day when maids and concubines will be sold," Jiaojiao said.

The official sale in Pingye County is held only five days a month. The market is open on the fifth day of each month and not on other days.

The county is so small that it is impossible for dozens of girls to be sold by officials every day.

The livestock trade in Yashi is open every fifth and tenth day, not every day.

"Okay, I'll go to the tooth market tomorrow."

Ye Kun nodded, and took Yu Lian Chunhua to select grains and purchase a full set of tools for brewing wine.

Ye Kun wants to make distilled liquor, and many tools need to be customized.

We also need to find a craftsman to build a stove.

After dinner, Jiaojiao was busy in the tavern, while Ye Kun was in Cangjiao Tower, explaining the winemaking techniques to Yu Lian Chunhua.

Because of the different craftsmanship, Yu Lian Chunhua couldn't understand it at all.

"It's okay if you don't understand. I'll show you how to do it when the time comes, and you can learn slowly."

Ye Kun was not in a hurry and asked again:

"This time I am building a road in Xiping Mountain, and I have asked the workers to repair and reinforce your parents' graves. If you want to go and pay your respects, I can arrange a carriage to take you there."

"Sir, we can never repay your kindness even if we work like slaves."

Yu Lian and Chun Hua knelt down together.

Ye Kun shook his head and helped Yu Lian Chunhua up: "It's just a small favor, you're welcome. If you have any problems in the future, you can tell me directly."

Yulian bit her lip and whispered, "Yulian has something that I dare not tell you..."

Ye Kun smiled: "No matter what it is, just tell me. We can discuss whether it will work or not."

Chunhua whispered, "Sir, my sister-in-law... is pregnant."

"Ah, you're pregnant?"

Ye Kun was stunned for a moment. This was not done by me!

Yulian knelt down again, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Kun thought about it and suddenly understood that Yu Lian should have been pregnant for a long time, and it was not done by the ruthless bear, but her husband's child.

Now that her husband is dead and she is pregnant, she is really pitiful.

Chunhua also knelt down and cried, "At that time, we didn't dare to tell the adults about this. We deceived the adults and deserved to die."

Ye Kun sighed and asked, "Yulian, how long have you been pregnant?"

Judging from his figure, I can’t tell, but it probably won’t be long.

Yu Lian cried, "It should be more than two months, sir...you can find a doctor to abort the baby. I just beg you not to chase me away."
