In the past few days, although Ye Chen and the others have withdrawn, he is not having a good time, the state pastor's mansion has burned down, many things have come to a standstill, a lot of information is gone, even his seal is gone, and the order is to use Cai Mao's general order.

The other is Ye Chen, Ye Chen has been training soldiers and horses outside the city, and the momentum is huge.

But because of this, Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to raise money, which went surprisingly smoothly, they had all heard of Ye Chen's name, once they let them attack, all the property would not be able to be kept, it was better to donate a small part, and then let Ye Chen retreat.

The more fierce Ye Chen was, the more simply they paid the money.

Cai Mao has been very comfortable in the past few days, a large number of personnel have been replaced, the work of the state pastor has stopped, his work can run quickly, and Liu Biao can't find it at all.

He replaced a large number of low-level personnel, who usually can't get to Liu Biao, let alone the current situation.

"Haha, yes, yes, I actually raised so many treasures, leaving five carts, I want to equip dozens of more big ships, and all the other treasures will be sent to Ye Chen." A few days later, Cai Mao finally raised enough money, but it turned out to be much more than he expected, and then he took the opportunity to swallow some of it.

The entire Luoyang City can collect thousands of carts of treasures, and this Xiangyang City is also very wealthy, and it is not difficult to collect more than 20 carts of treasures.

"Wow, lord, I've really blackmailed you, and there are two more cars." When the treasure was transported to Ye Chen, Xu Huang screamed in disbelief.

"Gongming, you're still amazed at the master's ability." Guan Yu said to Xu Huang with a smile.

"My family is poor, and when I see so much treasure, I wonder if it's okay. This Liu Biao is really cowardly, and the dignified pastor of a state is so easy to blackmail. Xu Huang pursed his lips, full of disdain for Liu Biao.

"Okay, clean up, let's retreat ten miles, collect people's money, and give it to people to eliminate disasters, I'm a trustworthy businessman." Ye Chen said with a smile.

If Liu Biao heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

"General Cai, what are Ye Chen's plans for this, why haven't you retreated?" Ye Chen didn't leave Jingzhou, and Liu Biao couldn't rest assured after all.

"Report to the state pastor, Ye Chen said that he still has to appreciate the customs of Jingzhou, and he will leave in a few days." Cai Mao had no choice but to tell Liu Biao about Ye Chen's words.

"Shameless guy, don't care about him, you have to send a large army to watch him closely, and other things will be implemented as soon as possible, and help me make an appointment with the major families in Jingzhou, I want to rebuild the state pastor's mansion, and I need their support." Liu Biao was angry, but he still didn't plan to trouble Ye Chen again.

To make trouble with him is to make trouble for yourself.

At night, in Cai's mansion, Cai Mao held a banquet, inviting the major families in Jingzhou, although many of the big families were not in Xiangyang City, they also sent representatives who could call the shots.

The banquet began, and this Liu Biao also appeared here.

"Everyone, everyone is clear about what has happened in the past few days, I won't say much about the various reasons, now the state pastoral mansion must be rebuilt, which is related to the face of our Jingzhou, but the state treasury has been empty, and everyone knows the reason, so the reconstruction depends on everyone here."

Liu Biao paused for a moment and continued: "Everyone understands the rules, how much you donate will be recorded, since I, Liu Jingsheng, am in charge of the party, I will not let everyone suffer, and if any children and nephews in each family are talents, please recommend them to me." ”

Liu Biao's fundraising did not arouse everyone's disgust, but many people were very happy, because this is a transaction, I will give you money, you give me an official position, this is a very fair transaction, and many families often do this, but this time the scale is larger and the scope is wider.

Cai Mao, who was sitting on the side, sneered, if you have money, you can donate it, if you don't have money, then go aside and let our people come.

Many of the Maisons have already been scraped again, and while it hasn't hurt them, it's also drained of all their liquidity to see how they donate.

Cai Mao had already taken care of it before he came, so that the people under him would strongly support Liu Biao, and donate as much as he could, if he didn't have a quota at that time, Cai Mao would pay to arrange his own people to go in, after all, let Cai Mao vigorously place his own people like this, Liu Biao would definitely be suspicious, but Liu Biao came out to raise donations, and then their people were very supportive, and the others did not support, and Liu Biao couldn't find a problem.

Cai Mao's happy intestines were about to laugh, if Liu Biao didn't engage in this fundraising, he probably wouldn't be so easy to install people, but now it's no longer Liu Biao who can do whatever he wants.

After tonight, invisibly, Cai Mao's influence will be even greater, and many places can even gradually replace Liu Biao.

This has a lot to do with Ye Chen's behavior this time, but now Ye Chen doesn't pay attention to the changes in Jingzhou at all, his injuries are much better, at least it doesn't matter if he walks, but he can't use force yet, so he has the idea of seeing Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui.

Ye Chen sent a letter to Huang Chengyan and asked him to introduce Sima Hui.

Huang Chengyan agreed after receiving the post, he has been paying attention to the situation in Jingzhou, the meeting between the three of them that day, no one knew that it would evolve into this, but that meeting changed the situation in Jingzhou.

The day after sending the post, Ye Chen went to visit Huang Chengyan with gifts and a few of his subordinates.

Huang Chengyan has a mountain villa outside the city of Xiangyang, and he has always lived the life of a hermit and did not live in the city.

"I've seen you, sir." Ye Chen is very modest and performs the gift of juniors in Huang Chengyan.

"Ye Xiaoyou doesn't have to be like this, Ye Xiaoyou's achievements are rarely attainable, and there is no need to give such a big gift to me, a useless old man in the countryside." Huang Chengyan said with a smile.

In fact, Huang Chengyan is not old at all, he is only about forty years old, but he doesn't want to accept too much etiquette from Ye Chen.

"Ye Xiaoyou, please." After speaking, Huang Chengyan welcomed Ye Chen and his party in.

"Sir, you are so elegant here, like a paradise." When Ye Chen walked into Zhuangzi, he saw a natural wind, which was very delicately arranged.

Although Huang Chengyan didn't understand what a paradise was, he also knew that it was a compliment, and hurriedly replied: "It's just a mountain villager, you can't praise it." ”

"Ye Xiaoyou, please, the house is simple, go in and have a cup of tea." Huang Chengyan welcomed Ye Chen and his party into the living room, which was very simple and natural, making people feel very comfortable.

"Sir, when I came in, I saw that the layout of your entire villa was very unique, as if there was a mystery in it?" Ye Chen asked Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan was stunned and didn't answer, but hurriedly said: "Come, there is prepared tea here, this is still the tea made by your Ye family, I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

"Daddy, which one is General Ye Chenye, a legendary figure rumored outside." At this time, a crisp sound came from a passage next to it, and a little beauty ran out after a while.

"Ying'er is messing around, why are you here." Huang Chengyan hurriedly shouted in a low voice.

However, this drink didn't seem to have much effect on the little girl, and the girl looked at Huang Chengyan with big eyes, and Huang Chengyan was immediately defeated.

"Could it be Huang Yueying? Is this an ugly girl? ”

Ye Chen's eyes looked straight at the little beauty in front of him, this is definitely a beauty, although she is only about eleven or twelve years old, she can already see that she is definitely a big beauty when she grows up, and she is not even inferior to Ye Chen's few red faces.
