The most arrogant in history

However, Ye Kun didn't want to let Wen Axiu down, so he had to endure it.

That night, Ye Kun returned to the North Street mansion and spent a wonderful night with Tian Xiao'e.

Xiao'e has now regained her usual liveliness and laughed softly:

"Brother Kun, don't neglect Qiao Yun. At that time, she and I were both designated by Madam Liu to serve you..."

Ye Kun scratched Xiao'e's nose:

"Xiao'e, if I accompany Qiaoyun, I'm afraid you will be unhappy again. Jiaojiao said that you are prone to anger."

"No way." Xiao'e said obediently: "As long as I see Brother Kun every day, I will be very happy."

"Be good, I'll take you to Xiping Mountain for an autumn outing tomorrow to see your father, my father-in-law."

Very early in the morning.

Ye Kun set out from Bei Street and rode on horseback with Tian Xiaoe to Xiping Mountain.

Tian Xiao'e missed her father and wanted to go to Xiping Mountain to see him.

Ye Kun also wants to go and see the lime.

At the foot of Xiping Mountain, the work is in full swing.

The road widening project is halfway completed and progressing at an increasing pace.

The first cellar of qualified lime was also burned out.

Ye Kun called Tian Xiao'e's father Tian Dalong and second uncle Tian Erhu and instructed:

"We will continue to burn lime. All the qualified lime will be sealed in large jars and placed in the original caves. No one is allowed to use it. When I have time, I will bring it back to Caomiao Village."

Tian Dalong nodded and said flatteringly:

"Master Ye, Xiao'e is immature. I hope you won't despise her. If she does something wrong, you should beat her or scold her..."

"Your daughter is my woman now. I can't bear to beat or scold her. Besides, Xiao'e is very sensible and knows a lot of things."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Xiao E, chat with your father and second uncle. We will go back in the afternoon."

Tian Xiao'e thanked him profusely and went to talk to her father.

Ye Kun rode around and found that there were more and more horse-drawn carriages on the trade road.

Many merchants came for Pingye County's refined salt, as well as Ye Kun's hemp twine and soybean paste.

Ye Kun’s soybean paste is now sold in small packages, packed in one-pound jars.

There was a printed word on the can, with a very impressive name: "Ye Kun Da Jiang!"

I originally wanted to name it Lao Gan Die Sauce, but I was afraid that others would think I was taking advantage and it would affect sales.

However, there were also some scattered vagrants on the trade route, who came from the direction of Xichuan with their families.

Ye Kun made some inquiries and learned that there was civil unrest in Xichuan and that the victims were rebelling, so the situation was serious.

At noon, Ye Kun had lunch with Tian Dalong and Tian Erhu, and brought them some wine and meat.

Xiao'e said to her father, "Dad, our old tavern has been turned into a building by Brother Kun. It looks very grand and will be open for business soon."

"Then...congratulations, Master Ye."

Tian Dalong smiled bitterly.

That was originally his family's property, but now it belongs to Ye Kun.

Moreover, the daughter also belongs to Ye Kun.

"Old Tian, ​​you are unhappy, right?" Ye Kun rolled his eyes, hugged Tian Xiao'e and kissed her in person:

"When Xiao'e gives me a son, I will return the newly built Lotus Restaurant to you. So, you just stay here and help me with the work while you wait for Xiao'e to give birth to a son."

"No, no, Lord Ye, don't worry."

Tian Dalong was shocked: "Even if Xiao'e has a son, I dare not take that restaurant."

"Don't worry, Xiao'e will have a son."

Ye Kun left a few taels of silver and returned with Tian Xiao'e.

The two rode a horse together, chatting as they walked.

The autumn sun is as warm as spring.

Xiao'e leaned in Ye Kun's arms, her cheeks full of spring:

"Brother Kun, if only I could ride a horse like this for the rest of my life, walking slowly..."

"Xiao E, you are so generous, you still want to monopolize Brother Kun for the rest of his life?"

Ye Kun pinched Xiao'e and said with a smile, "I won't sleep with you tonight. I'll sleep with Qiaoyun instead."

"Then can I squeeze over and join us?" Xiao'e said with a red face and a low laugh.

"Little girl, you've become bad just like Jiaojiao." Ye Kun couldn't help but smile.

When I returned to the county town, I met Hou Qi.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, are you inviting me to your house for a drink again?"

I haven't seen Mrs. Liu Ruxue for several days.

Ye Kun missed her a little.

Hou Qi smiled and said, "Master Ye, I am not inviting you tonight. It is my brother-in-law, County Magistrate Liu, who is inviting you to a family dinner."

Ye Kun nodded, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to visit County Magistrate Liu's home.

County Magistrate Wang was also there.

County Magistrate Liu was very happy and invited his wife and daughters out to have dinner and chat together.

When they were half drunk, Magistrate Liu asked a maid to bring a tray. When he opened it, it was filled with dazzling gold.

Ye Kun was puzzled: "Master Liu, this is..."

"This is the money I made from selling salt these days. This is Lord Ye's share, one hundred taels of gold."

County Magistrate Liu chuckled and said, "I and County Magistrate Wang have calculated that next month, Lord Ye can get at least three or four hundred taels of gold!"

"Really? Thank you for the reward, sir."

Ye Kun pretended to be surprised, took the gold, and said with a smile:

"I am planning to expand the military camp, replenish the arsenal, and train soldiers for war, but I am worried about not having enough money. With this money, I can build an iron-blooded army for you, sir!"

County Magistrate Liu was stunned: "You used your own money to replenish the arsenal and train soldiers for war?"

Miss Yuejuan was also surprised and stared at Ye Kun's face for a long time.

Ye Kun sighed:

"Sir Liu, I saw several groups of refugees at the foot of Xiping Mountain today. I heard that it was because of the war in Xichuan. We are the gateway to Xichuan, so we must be on guard against the attacks of refugees. I don't have any troops under my command, so how can I protect Sir Liu and the people of the whole county?"

County Magistrate Wang also nodded: "Lord Ye is right. The situation in Xichuan is serious and may get out of control. When that happens, we will be the first to bear the brunt."

County Magistrate Liu was startled and said hurriedly:

"Then Lord Ye, quickly train your troops to protect the county!"

Madam Liu also smiled slightly: "It's rare that Lord Ye is so thoughtful. If you need to train troops and prepare for war, and you don't have enough money, Lord Liu can also take some."

Magistrate Liu nodded: "Yes, yes, I can take some."

But, the old bastard just can’t be persuaded!

"Master Liu, please rest assured." Ye Kunyi clasped his fists:

"I have already arranged the military training. I will protect the safety of Sir Liu's family under any circumstances. Anyone who wants to harm Sir Liu must walk over my dead body!"

"Master Ye said it well."

County Magistrate Liu nodded repeatedly and sighed:

"In the past few days, the trade in Pingye County has been getting better and better. Caravans have been coming and going constantly, and the tax collection has doubled compared to before. Making salt is so profitable, so we must not let anything go wrong."

Ye Kun stood up and said, "I will take my leave now and return to the barracks to continue training. I will never let Lord Liu down."

Magistrate Liu stood up and personally escorted him out of the government office.

Madam Liu was waiting in the yard and said to Magistrate Liu:

"Ye Kun is a man of action, which is rare. You should cultivate him well. I think we can give him some funding so that he can work harder."

"Ma'am, why didn't you say so earlier?"

County Magistrate Liu smiled flatteringly and said to County Magistrate Wang, "Give Ye Kun another 500 taels of silver tomorrow and let him continue recruiting and training soldiers."

County Magistrate Wang nodded.

Ye Kun returned to the barracks, called Qin Erwu, and ordered:

"Erwu, take a few brothers with you tomorrow and go back to call Yan Liuhai and Wang Dagui from Caomiao Village, Zhao Biao and Guan Yong from Guanjia Village, and Jiang Laowu from Jianghetou to see me."

Qin Erwu nodded and asked, "Brother Dalang, are you going to take action again and fight the bandits again?"

"We're not fighting bandits. This is a big deal, a thousand times more important than fighting bandits!" Ye Kun said with a serious face.

"Okay, I'll set off early tomorrow morning!"

Qin Erwu clasped his fists and accepted the order.
