The most arrogant in history

On a template are four bars of soap, each the size of a cigarette box.

Tonight, Mrs. Liu and Miss can take a bath and use it.

I am so happy to see Madam Ruxue and Miss Yuejuan again.

The house of County Magistrate Liu was brightly lit.

Hou Qi and County Magistrate Wang were also there.

The blackboard was hung on the wall, and Magistrate Liu's two silly sons were having fun with their chalks.

Ye Kun clasped his fists, greeted everyone one by one, and then everyone took their seats.

Miss Yuejuan was much more relaxed today. She took the initiative to greet and serve tea to Ye Kun.

Madam Ruxue smiled and said, "Lord Ye is really creative. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making a blackboard and chalk like this? My two sons just don't like writing. When they saw the blackboard and chalk, they rushed to play with them."

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning." Ye Kun smiled modestly and praised the two silly sons of County Magistrate Liu:

"The two young masters are very talented and now they like writing. Their future is limitless. It is understandable that the voice of a young phoenix is ​​clearer than that of an old phoenix."

Magistrate Liu and his wife knew that their son was stupid, but they still enjoyed Ye Kun's flattery and were very happy.

Miss Yuejuan took the initiative for once and toasted Ye Kun, then asked:

"Master Ye, is the poem on the blackboard also written by an adult?"

"I'm just making this up. Miss Yuejuan, please give me some advice!"

"Yuejuan doesn't dare..." Miss Yuejuan smiled and sat down.

The singer in the mansion had already composed the poem and performed it on the spot.

County Magistrate Liu was very happy and asked, "Master Ye, what have you been busy with these two days?"

"Recruit soldiers, train them, supervise the opening of Xiping Mountain, inspect local security, and manufacture filter elements for salt refining."

Ye Kun said he was very busy, took the soap template, tapped it lightly, and four bars of soap came out.

Madam Ruxue asked, "Master Ye, what kind of snack is this?"

"This is not a snack, it's soap, used for bathing and washing hair. It's much better than soap nuts, and it leaves a fresh fragrance."

Ye Kun handed the soap to Madam Liu and Yue Juan: "I have taken the time to make a batch of soap. Madam and Miss can take a look. If it works well, I will send another batch over."

Yuejuan took the soap, smelled it, and nodded slightly.

Madam Liu smiled and said, "Master Ye, how do you use this?"

Ye Kun ordered the maid to go to the kitchen and get a piece of raw meat and a basin of water.

Soon, the maid brought half a pound of pork.

Ye Kun rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the pork on his hands, smearing lard all over his hands.

Ye Kun then squatted down and washed his hands, demonstrating the soap's cleaning power.

After washing his hands, Ye Kun stretched out his hands and asked everyone to check them.

County Magistrate Liu and County Assistant Magistrate Wang inspected it and nodded in praise.

Mrs. Liu was not polite and touched Ye Kun's hand:

"Soap is so useful. It washes cleanly and leaves a scent of chrysanthemum. Lord Ye, you are really amazing. You can do everything!"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Soap can be used to wash clothes, wash hair, and bathe without hurting the skin. Tonight, you can give the two young masters a bath and try out the effect."

Madam Liu was overjoyed and ordered the maid, "Quick, take the two young masters to wash their hair and take a bath."

Everyone continued drinking.

County Magistrate Liu suddenly frowned and sighed:

"Master Ye, in the past two days, more and more refugees have fled from Xichuan. Many refugees have poured into the county town to beg. I'm worried that these refugees will cause chaos and unrest."

County Magistrate Wang was even more worried: "Our county is short of soldiers. If the refugees become violent, I'm afraid the county will be hard to defend..."

"Don't worry, my lords. I have made proper arrangements to ensure the safety of the county."

Ye Kun had already received the tip-off and said with a fist:

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Xiping Mountain to check and study the deployment. The 500 new soldiers have been recruited and are being trained. Seven days later, please have Lord Liu inspect the new soldiers I have recruited and the results of the training in the past few days outside the south gate of the county."

Ye Kun also had a headache about the refugees.

If the refugees dared to rebel and attack the county town, Ye Kun would kill them like cutting melons and vegetables.

I just can't bear it!

County Magistrate Liu laughed and said, "Okay, in seven days, I will bring my wife and my daughter to see Lord Ye's tiger and wolf division!"

After a few more drinks, the two idiot young masters took a bath and were brought out.

Mrs. Liu checked the hygiene of her two sons and was very satisfied. She smiled and said:

"Master Ye, this soap is so good. If you have time, please make more for me. I like the scent of jasmine. I wonder if Master Ye can make it?"

It is true that a merchant woman does not know the sorrow of losing her country. The refugees are about to rebel, but Mrs. Liu is still thinking about jasmine soap.

Are chrysanthemums bad?

"That's easy, but I need dried jasmine petals." Ye Kun nodded.

"Don't worry, I will have the maids collect jasmine petals, dry them, and send them to you."

"Okay, I will do it as soon as possible."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Miss Yuejuan: "Excuse me, Miss Yuejuan, what kind of fragrance do you like?"

"Thank you, Lord Ye. It smells like chrysanthemums. It's very good." Miss Yuejuan smiled and lowered her head.

Ye Kun was also full, and seeing that it was getting late, he bowed and said goodbye.

Miss Yuejuan was very well behaved tonight. She accompanied Ye Kun for drinks and meals from beginning to end and did not leave early.

Ye Kun felt that there was hope.

When they returned to Cangjiaolou on South Street, everyone was still awake, waiting for Ye Kun to come back and show them how to use the soap.

Wen Axiu has made more than 40 bars of soap. Everyone sniffs the soaps and can’t let go.

Ye Kun demonstrated the usage and effects of soap, and several girls each took a bar of soap and ran away!

Can't wait to wash my hair and experience it.

Only Wen Axiu stayed.

"Hey, you can only use it for bathing, washing your hair and hands, don't use it for other places..."

Ye Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pressed the remaining ingredients in the pot into the mold and asked Wen Axiu to take a rest.

Chunhua, a girl from Sichuan, was the first to wash her hair. She came over and said with a smile, "Brother Kun, your soap is really good. It feels so good after washing my hair."

Ye Kun lifted Chunhua's wet hair and took a sniff:

"Not bad. I'll make other scents for you later. By the way, Chunhua, I'm going to Xiping Mountain early tomorrow morning. You can come with me to pay tribute to your parents."

Chunhua's eyes turned red when she heard this. After thanking him, she asked, "Brother Kun, can my sister-in-law go?"

"Of course you can go. Go to bed early. I will prepare a carriage for you tomorrow."

Ye Kun nodded.

Going to Xiping Mountain to pay homage to Chunhua's parents comes second.

Mainly those vagrants, Ye Kun has to find a way to deal with them.

The next morning.

Ye Kun rode on horseback with his personal soldiers, while Chunhua and his sister-in-law Yulian took a carriage to Xiping Mountain together.

When they arrived at the graves of their parents and family members, Chunhua and Yulian fell to the ground and cried.

Chunhua's family was buried in a hurry at that time. Later, Ye Kun had the grave repaired and a new tombstone erected.

Now it looks like it is.

Ye Kun brought a jar of wine and poured it in front of the grave one cup at a time. Then he bowed in front of Chunhua's parents' graves and said:

"Rest in peace, both elders. I have eliminated the bandits in Xiping Mountain and avenged you. I also brought Chunhua and Yulian out. As long as I live, I will treat Chunhua well and take care of Yulian. If you two are still alive, please bless Chunhua and Yulian, and may they live in peace and happiness for the rest of their lives."

Chunhua Yulian burst into tears and thanked Ye Kun again.

Ye Kun helped Yu Lian up: "Yu Lian, you are pregnant, you can't be too sad. Get up, I will accompany you to worship later."

Chunhua also comforted her sister-in-law.

Only then did Yulian hold back her sadness, wiped her tears, and went to the camp with Chunhua to rest.

Ye Kun took his personal soldiers and some local men to check around.

The road development project is about to be completed, and it is expected that the scheduled task will be completed in three to five days.

There are indeed quite a few homeless people on the road.

They came in groups of three or four, with their families, all of them looked pale and thin, and their clothes were tattered.

The number of caravans coming from Xichuan gradually decreased.

Ye Kun stopped some vagrants, gave them food and asked about their situation.

Most of the vagrants were illiterate and could not speak clearly. They only knew that while the government troops were fighting for territory, the bandits were also fighting for territory.

Some of the refugees came to visit relatives and friends, while others came out to beg and try their luck.

Ye Kun ordered his personal soldiers and civilians:

"At the westernmost side of the official road, at the intersection of the four roads, set up five marching stoves and cook porridge in clay pots. Give each refugee passing by a bowl of porridge. Make sure it's finished after lunch!"

He also instructed Tan Bamao: "Go to the county town immediately, buy 1,000 kilograms of corn, 50 kilograms of dried meat, bring some refined salt and Yekun soybean paste, and cook porridge to help the refugees."

Tan Bamao was surprised: "Godfather, you paid for it yourself?"

Ye Kun threw down a golden cake and said, "Do it immediately!"

At the westernmost side of the trade route, Ye Kun personally designated the location and arranged the military stove.

He also asked the local people if there was any place where these refugees could be accommodated.

An old man said: "Xiping Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, and there are three valleys that are actually habitable. In the past, bandits also cultivated land in the valleys..."

Ye Kun nodded and asked a few local men to accompany him to see it.

The nearest valley is just three miles away.

There are hundreds of acres of land, including many sloping lands, which are suitable for building a village.

There is a stream not far away, which can also solve the water problem.

Ye Kun looked at the other two valleys and immediately had an idea.

The development of Xiping Mountain can accommodate thousands of refugees and increase the county's population, which will be of great benefit to the future development of one's own power!

You can also earn a good reputation!

Therefore, Ye Kun selected craftsmen who knew how to build houses from among the laborers who were opening up the mountains, and asked them to immediately use lime to lay out the lines and build a new village in the first valley.

Of course, the house is basically just a shack, which can only ensure that the refugees have a place to sleep and will not freeze to death.

After lunch, the camp stove was built and porridge was started.

Half a pound of chopped pork, salt, and Ye Kun soybean paste were added to each pot of white rice porridge.

This was originally a four-way intersection, leading directly west to Xichuan.

Go north to Tianmen County and south to Cigu County.

The refugees naturally came over when they smelled the aroma of porridge and meat.

A soldier with a loud voice waved his hand and shouted:

"Hirano County Lieutenant, Lord Yekun, is here to provide porridge to help the refugees, so that everyone can taste the delicious Yekun soybean paste and Yekun refined salt!"

Dozens of refugees knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Ye, for saving our lives!"

Ye Kun personally made porridge for everyone, while chatting about family matters and asking about their situations.

Most of the refugees brought their families with them, and the clay pots, ceramic bowls, quilts, mats, and coarse linen clothes they carried were all their possessions.

As for those who came to visit relatives and friends, Ye Kun asked them to eat porridge and then leave.

For those who have no relatives or friends and nowhere to go, Ye Kun said:

"I will build a village in the valley, take you in, and give you fields and woodlands. You will help with the work, clear the land and plant the crops, and I will do my best to ensure you have a safe winter."

The refugees, who had nowhere to go, immediately knelt down and shouted, "Master Ye, we are willing to listen to your arrangements."

"Well, I promise you, no one will starve to death!"

Ye Kun nodded and asked the soldiers to take everyone to the valley, and under the guidance of the craftsmen, they built shacks for temporary shelter.

Tan Bamao laughed and said, "Godfather, you are crazy, right? There are no pretty girls among these vagrants..."

The refugees were all ragged, unkempt, and skinny, and there were indeed few good-looking ones.

"If you don't understand what Godfather is doing, don't ask. Just follow Godfather."

Ye Kun gave some instructions and took Yu Lian Chunhua back to the county town.

When we got back to the city, it was already dark.

After dinner, Ye Kun brought some gifts and two bars of soap to visit Aunt Wang to ask for new clothes for his mother and Yourong.

Aunt Wang had just finished her meal and was now helping Duoduo and Moli make clothes while explaining things to them.

Seeing Ye Kun, Aunt Wang was naturally very happy.

Duoduo and Jasmine were also very happy and came forward to kowtow to Ye Kun.

"Get up, Duoduo, Jasmine."

Ye Kun pulled up the two girls, looked them over, and praised them, "Godmother is really good at training people. Duoduo and Jasmine have become more beautiful in just a few days."

"That's because Lord Ye has good vision."

Aunt Wang sent Duoduo and Jasmine away, poured tea for Ye Kun, and then laughed softly:

"Lord Ye has a good eye, and he is so lucky. Duoduo and Jasmine will both be peerless beauties in the future. I am afraid that if they are sent to the palace, the emperor will be so envious that he will definitely make them imperial concubines."

"Godmother, I don't have that intention towards Duoduo and Jasmine. I'm here to get the clothes and take them home tomorrow."

"I'll give you the clothes when they're ready."

Aunt Wang smiled and took out two sets of silk clothes.

One set belongs to Ye Kun’s mother, and the other set belongs to Jiang Yourong.

Ye Kun took a look and suddenly smiled: "Godmother, this dress is very nice, but it lacks vitality when no one wears it. Can you put it on and let me see the effect?"

Aunt Wang was stunned: "My Lord, you want me to put it on and see?"

Ye Kun nodded: "Yes, it will look even better when godmother wears it."

"Okay, I'll try it on..."

Aunt Wang was still shy and went into the bedroom with her clothes on.
