Generally speaking, the eight great families of Jingxiang are not encroached upon for their own interests and prevent the Xuzhou family from infiltrating the Jingxiang area, so they came to cut off Hu.

Their beard cutting was very successful, Ye Chen agreed to their request, as long as they could eat, then Ye Chen would directly cooperate with them in the business of the Jingxiang area.

The Cai family actually proposed that Ye Chen should help them build ships, and the shipbuilding industry in the south is developed, but Ye Chen has been immersed in development, and in a few years, the shipbuilding industry has caught up with the south.

In fact, technically speaking, the shipbuilding industry in the south is no worse than Ye Chen's, but they have no motivation and are stagnant. Shipping in the south is mainly carried out in the Yangtze River and several large lakes, and there is no need for too large ships.

They only produce enough ships, and if they don't go to sea, there is no need to build such large ships, because ships are not so easy to build, they have to cost a lot, and they can't operate without capital.

The Ye shipbuilding industry has been aiming at navigation from the beginning, so it is full of power, has invested heavily in research, and has built a large number of ships, not only the workers are skilled, but also the scale is large, and now it can manufacture more than a dozen large ships at the same time, and there are countless small boats.

Ye Chen worked hard to develop the fishery, firstly, in order to settle the people, after all, the Ye family could not provide a large amount of land, seeds and farm tools at once, and could only arrange part of it to the fishery, and secondly, in order to develop the shipbuilding industry, the fishery was developed, and the shipbuilding industry naturally developed.

Therefore, the Ye family's shipbuilding industry has surpassed that of the south, and they can make bigger ships, but this does not mean that the south cannot build ships as big as Ye Chen, it's just that they are unwilling to invest and are unwilling to build them.

However, they found that the larger the ship, the larger the cargo capacity, and the corresponding freight will naturally be lower, but if they want to build their own large ships, the investment is too large.

Not to mention how many shipwrights to be gathered, let alone tens of thousands of people, if you build a large ship for a long time, it is fine, if you only build a few, then you have to raise tens of thousands of people, the cost is too great, so it is better to buy it.

So the Cai family found Ye Chen and asked Ye Chen to help them build a big ship.

Ye Chen is naturally very willing, a big ship is at least 20 million yuan, even if the profit is 20%, it is very profitable, and it can expand the Ye family's shipbuilding industry.

However, this also has drawbacks, that is, the Cai family has obtained big ships, and these big ships can sail far, so they will inevitably enter the sea and compete with Ye Chen for the market.

But it doesn't matter, because this market is too big, even if the Ye family is given a few more years of development, it will not be saturated, then everyone will have money to make, and there will not be much competition.

Ye Chen agreed to the Cai family's request to build ten big ships for them, which is ten, with tens of millions of profits, although it will take nearly a year to deliver them to them, but this is the first order of the shipbuilding industry to the outside world.

The Cai family paid a deposit of one percent, even if this matter is settled, it doesn't matter if they don't want it after it is built, the big boat Ye family still needs it very much at present.

Several other companies have different needs, some want furs from the north, some want to sell materials from the south to the Ye family, and there are business cooperation in restaurants, as well as business dealings in money villages, and so on.

In short, several of them are large-scale, they are originally big families, and their strength is strong, and there is no need for ordinary business to be so bothersome.

And Ye Chen also put forward his own cooperation plan, which was to borrow chickens and lay eggs that Ye Chen did in Xuzhou before.

The Ye family contributed money, seeds and tools to open up some wasteland in the south, and they helped organize the displaced people to reclaim and plant. Reclaiming wasteland and feeding displaced people is exactly what those families are not willing to do.

And Ye Chenken can prosper the south by doing this, which is beneficial to them, this is a matter of mutual benefit, of course they are willing to do so, and their cost is very small, and all the investment to feed the displaced people is paid by the Ye family.

All they have to do is use their connections to help organize the displaced people and protect these places from encroachment.

What Ye Chenken did was to see that they had a huge network in the south, and Liaodong had a small population and not much arable land, all of which were available in the south, so it was only a bit of investment, but the benefits were also real.

After the first year, you can harvest a lot of grain, and although it will take a few years to recoup the cost, it doesn't matter, just take your time.

After getting rid of the eight great families of Jingxiang, Ye Chen had time to sort out what had happened recently.

This big wedding caused Ye Chen a lot of accidents, Wei Zi, General Manager Lin and Jingxiang Eight Families were all accidents.

However, compared with the accident, Ye Chen got more benefits, and the gift money alone was hundreds of millions of dollars, mainly because the family that came this time was too much, and many people who couldn't come in person also gave heavy gifts.

Ye Chen mainly invited those families who cooperated with the Ye family, but there were dozens of families who cooperated with Du Kang wine alone, plus Ye Chen used ships to go south, and a large number of northern furs were transported to the south for sale, these were also cooperated with major families.

There is also a need for the Ye family to buy a large number of materials, and these materials are also through the hands of the family, so there are many families related to the Ye family, and this time Ye Chen got married, many families who had not cooperated with the Ye family before also came to congratulate Ye Chen.

What surprised Ye Chen the most was the reaction of the people of Liaodong, their reaction was too crazy, Ye Chen's wedding, they were like a festival, not only worshipping heaven and earth, but also celebrating together.

They also gave a lot of gifts, although a gift may be a few big bucks, but this is all their heart, you know, a few big bucks can make them live for many days.

Most of them had just gotten rid of poverty, but they were still very enthusiastic about celebrating Ye Chen.

Many places come here as an important holiday, and they celebrate the harvest with more enthusiasm than they do.

Many homeless people who have wandered from other places are only here in Liaodong who really regard them as human beings, and help them in all aspects, so that they can live in peace and survive.

They have a very strong sense of belonging to Liaodong, Ye Chen did not regard them as outsiders, and they gradually regarded themselves as people from Liaodong. As soon as they heard that the Ye family was going to get married, many ordinary people thought very simply, they just wanted to express their gratitude.

Many people near Yejiabao went to Yejiabao, and many people who couldn't go to it celebrated at home, put tributes, worshiped heaven and earth first, and prayed for Ye Chen.

"Alas, how many people give gifts, what should I do." Ye Chen said with a frown.

The gift has already been handed down, of course, it is impossible to return it, and there are too many people, and I don't know who to return it to, but this gift is still exchanged, and Ye Chen can't help but express it.

But there are so many gifts that it becomes a problem to return them.
