The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

After a night's rest, Ye Xiaoyang got up at around nine o'clock the next morning. It was really tiring to drive continuously.

Wen Qiu Sheng didn't ask him to get up, but Luo Qiushan and Mei Zihan still got up on time to practice.

There are only seven days left until New Year's Eve, so this year is worth celebrating.

Before going to bed last night, Ye Xiaoyang gave him three boxes containing large gold bars.

He counted them and found a total of 450 large yellow croakers.

I heard from his disciple Ye Xiaoyang that the other two boxes were mainly French currency, and he had not had time to count them yet.

My disciple is really filial to me. This time he comes back and gives me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I now have a sum that I never dared to dream of before, and $20 in cash is of no use to me.

Nowadays, the caravan only takes one route, transporting supplies from Wanling City to Xiaoshantou Village.

Moreover, the eldest and second disciples said that they did not need him to take money for the marriage, saying that their junior fellow apprentice had given them some money.

As long as they don't spend it recklessly, they will never spend it all in their lifetime. Besides, they now have a salary of 20 yuan per month.

Going out with their junior brother Ye Xiaoyang doesn't require them to spend money, and they have no place to spend the money they have.

Wen Qiu Sheng felt that he was a little behind the times, as the world was changing too fast.

The most important thing is that his disciple Ye Xiaoyang said that he had millions of dollars and he could not spend it all.

"Han'er, Ye'er, you two will follow me to the market today.

Today, the three of us are going to buy some food and take it back to Xiaoshantou Village. I'm afraid we'll have to spend the New Year there."

"Okay, Master."

“On the way back, I told my junior brother that we would probably spend the New Year in Xiaoshantou Village this year.

The three uncles are all in Xiaoshantou Village, so Master must be going there. I guessed it right."

"Han'er, you are right, it's because your three uncles' families have all moved to Xiaoshantou Village.

The four of us, master and apprentices, also have our own house in Xiaoshantou Village.

This is the first New Year in a new house I built this year, so I definitely want to spend it there."

"Master is really thoughtful."

"The matchmaker that Master asked is from a small village not far from Xiaoshantou Village.

Look for suitable girls for both of you in the villages near Xiaoshantou Village.

After you get married, you can bring the girl's parents to live with you.

There are few tiled houses in the mountains, and we have built more than 100 blue brick and tiled houses in and around Xiaoshantou Village this time."

"Han'er will rely on Master's arrangements."

Ye Xiaoyang finally woke up and looked at the time on his pocket watch. He felt a little embarrassed.

He quickly got up from the bed. It was the first time in recent years that he had slept in.

Maybe because he had avenged his great hatred and felt relaxed, he slept so soundly.

After getting up and washing up, Ye Xiaoyang found hot food in the pot. He knew at a glance that this was specially left for him by Senior Brother Luo.

The three brothers suggested finding a companion for their master, but Master Wen Qiusheng refused to agree.

For so many years, every Qingming Festival and his wife's birthday, he would go to the grave alone.

He always went out early and came back late, and he didn't let the three of them go with him. I guess the master missed his wife.

After quickly finishing his breakfast, Ye Xiaoyang saw his master and two brothers preparing to go out, and hurriedly asked:

"Master, are you three going out?"

"Yang'er, Master heard from your two brothers that you were driving for a whole day and night and are too tired, so you should rest at home.

The three of us are going to the market to buy some New Year's goods. After the Spring Festival, the matchmaker will come to our house, so we need to prepare more food."

"Indeed, Yang'er will wait for you at home."

Luo Qiushan went to the stable and led out a horse, which pulled a cart. The three of them, master and apprentice, went directly to the nearby market.

The rest of the caravan had already gone to the market early in the morning to buy supplies. Their business was particularly good during this period.

After closing the courtyard door, Ye Xiaoyang returned to the room and began to count the spoils of this operation, all of which were French currency.

After returning to Hujiang, I have to go to a foreign bank to exchange it into US dollars.

It took Ye Xiaoyang half an hour to finally count the two boxes of French currency.

面值500元的法币68叠，每叠5万，光面值500元法币就有340万元。

There are 100 stacks of 102-yuan French francs, and each stack contains 1 French francs, which means 102 million French francs.

The total amount of French francs in the two large boxes was 442 million.

Based on the current exchange rate of 3.75 between the French franc and the US dollar, 442 million French francs can be exchanged for 117.8 million US dollars.

I'm really lucky.

My two senior brothers are getting married soon, so I’ll give each of them another $5, which should be enough for them for the time being.

After returning to the Bund, I will take a few senior brothers to Jinling.

In addition to visiting the second brother, he also visited the homes of important officials of the deep blue government.

Especially after the Japanese invaders occupied Nanjing, he went to the home of Wang, the second-in-command of the Nanjing Light Green Government, who was supported by the Japanese invaders.

If so much money can be found in the home of a small mayor of Gusu City, wouldn’t the deep blue government officials have even more money?

We must also take this opportunity to find some Japanese devils to deal with. They have arranged many spies to lurk in Jinling City.

Of course, you can’t make a fortune by relying on these alone. You have to find other ways to make money and make quick money.

It would be best to make money from the Japanese devils.

The most important thing he needed to do right now was to find a suitable place to store the weapons and ammunition shipped from the United States.

One hundred thousand HX1935 automatic rifles and corresponding magazines, but I can’t use so many.

First of all, we have to find a way to find a visible backer in Jinling City.

With this support, it will be very convenient to get special passes for our own people in the future.

This backer must be able to sell this batch of weapons and ammunition to the Jinling Deep Blue Government Army so that both parties can make a profit.

After the Jinling Deep Blue Government Army acquired the HX1935 automatic rifle, its combat effectiveness increased.

In the future, when they fight against the Japanese devils, they can eliminate more Japanese devils.

Ye Xiaoyang thought and thought, and finally thought of his hometown, Gusu City. To the west of Gusu City is Taihu Lake.

There are many mountains around Taihu Lake. The altitude of the mountains is average, but they can easily hide hundreds of people.

There should be no problem in building a weapons and ammunition storage warehouse in these mountains.

After the New Year, arrange for someone to go and conduct reconnaissance.

If there are bandits in the mountains near Taihu Lake, we can kill them and occupy their stronghold.

Now that we have the territory, it shouldn't be difficult to find a hidden place to store weapons and ammunition.

At this moment, the courtyard door was opened, and Ye Xiaoyang understood that it must be the master and two senior brothers who went to the market to buy things.

With a plan in mind, Ye Xiaoyang became confident.

Walk out of your room and into the yard.

"Master, two senior brothers, you have worked hard!"

"Yang'er, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

"I've had enough rest. If I continue to rest, I'll become a lazy bum."

After Ye Xiaoyang finished speaking, he walked forward and started moving things into the house.

After a while, the three brothers moved all the goods on the carriage home.

"Yang'er, let's go back to Xiaoshantou Village together tomorrow, and Shan'er will stay here to look after the house.

The caravan didn't have a holiday until the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, so he returned to Xiaoshantou Village on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Yang'er will follow Master's instructions."

"During the New Year holidays, there are only two members of the caravan on duty. The nobles' belongings must first be taken to their homes in Xiaoshantou Village."

"Yang'er understands. This sedan should be fine with the caravan, right?"

"It's okay, aren't there two people on duty?

In addition, after the three-day New Year holiday, I will ask your uncle Chen to come to the caravan to take charge.

I stayed in Xiaoshantou Village and followed the matchmaker to meet the parents of several girls.

It would also be good to settle Han'er's marriage as soon as possible."

"Master, Yang'er will be going back to Gusu City after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to see if his second brother is home."

"Yang'er, I know you're busy. You don't have to attend your senior brother's engagement ceremony, but you must come back for the wedding."

“Okay, Master.

However, Yang'er is a little worried. What if Yang'er goes out and cannot be contacted? "

"Yang'er, marriage is a big deal. Your senior brother got engaged right away even after the Lantern Festival.

It will take at least three months to get married, and we will calculate the date in advance with the girl’s family.

With this amount of time, it’s impossible not to be able to contact you.”

"Yang'er is stupid."

The master and disciple continued to chat, and Ye Xiaoyang told his master Wen Qiu Sheng what he was going to do next.
