The Ye family has completely become a big construction site. The workshop has begun to take shape as a priority for construction, and the construction of the warehouse has also begun, and Yejiabao, which is the latest to be built, broke ground at this time and began to dig the foundation.

However, because more than 30,000 people were working at the same time, the construction progress was also very fast. It's just that the Ye family's money is consumed very quickly, and it didn't take long for Ye Chen not only to spend the money for the previous auction agency, but also to smash the tens of millions of dollars that came to pull the goods in the future.

At present, the Ye family only has the basic operating expenses left, and there is not much money left in their hands to use.

This is also Ye Chen's layman for engineering construction, but it is not a difficulty that cannot be helped, at least the development of the Ye family has not been affected.

On this day, Ye Chen was inspecting various construction sites, Wu Xian sent someone to find him, and Ye Chen returned to the study.

"Young master, this is someone sent by the Taishou Mansion, and I want you to go to the banquet in the evening." Wu Xian gave Ye Chen an invitation, which turned out to be given to him by Taishou.

This couldn't help but make Ye Chen feel strange, this scholar clan had always discriminated against merchants, and Ye Chen rarely dealt with these people, and he didn't have much contact with these people after crossing over to the Three Kingdoms.

Although in this era, because of the relationship of interests, the merchants and the scholar class are also very close, but the gap in concept and status has always existed.

This Taishou suddenly gave him an invitation and invited him to a banquet in the evening, he was really surprised, and he didn't even expect it at all.

Not to mention being too guarded, even a small leader in the county looks down on businessmen, and even the declining scholars will feel that they have a sense of superiority.

"Wu Xian, did you have any peace with my Ye family before this Taishou?" Ye Chen couldn't figure it out and was very puzzled, so he asked Wu Xian.

"Young master, as far as I know, this Taishou has just come to Liaodong to take office, and he has not had any dealings with my Ye family." Wu Xian thought about it for a while, and he didn't have much impression of this Tai Shou, because he was very low-key after he took office.

"It's even stranger, how could you suddenly invite me to a banquet, and not my grandfather to a banquet, which makes it even more strange." Although Ye Chen is already the actual controller of the Ye family, but to the outside world, Old Man Ye is still the head of the Ye family, and this is too guarded to invite Old Man Ye if he wants to treat him.

"Young master, this is really incomprehensible."

"No matter, there won't be anything to do, you go and prepare a generous gift, and collect some information about this Taishou for me, and I'll meet him in the evening."

According to the data, this Taishou is called Li Wei, a person from Jizhou, who is a middle-class scholar, and was just transferred to Liaodong as a Taishou last year. After taking office, he did almost nothing, and of course he didn't do anything to poison the people, and in general, he didn't do anything, and he didn't do good or bad things.

The more Ye Chen looked at it, the more he didn't understand, this could be said to be a completely inactive Taishou, how could such a person suddenly find Ye Chen.

Anyway, since the other party came to the invitation, it was still too guarded by one party, and it was not okay not to go, as for what the purpose was, I would know if I went at night.

Ye Chen asked Wu Xian to prepare many gifts, and finally brought two bottles of the highest grade Du Kang wine.

"But Ye Gongzi."

In the evening, as soon as Ye Chen arrived outside the Taishou Mansion, someone stepped forward to greet him, and he probably looked like a housekeeper or something.

This seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door can let the housekeeper come out to greet him, which is a very high standard for Ye Chen's identity.

Ye Chen handed over the gift to the people of the Taishou Mansion and asked the ten guards of the escort battalion to wait outside the door.

With the guards, I am afraid that the city will not be peaceful recently, and I am afraid that the road will not be safe, just in case.

Brought into the Taishou Mansion by the housekeeper, there were quite a lot of guards in the Taishou Mansion, but judging by its momentum, it was not as good as his own guard camp, which made Ye Chen a little proud.

Entering the two mansions, the guards here were dressed as family soldiers, and they were not wearing armor, thinking that this was the private soldiers brought by Taishou himself, these people were obviously much better than the guards outside, but they were only a little better.

Through observation, Ye Chen found that no matter whether it was the county soldiers or other soldiers, their training was lax and their armaments were not neat, how could such a big man not fall.

"Lord Taishou, Ye Gongzi is here."

Ye Chen was taken to a place similar to a banquet hall, and there were already wine and dishes on the table, this wine was Du Kang wine, and it was five thousand dollars a jar.

"Welcome Ye Gongzi." Although Li Wei didn't stand up, he expressed his welcome to Ye Chen, Ye Chen is a junior, and Taishou is not rude, but respects Ye Chen very much.

Ye Chen saw that this Taishou was about forty years old, relatively thin, with a long beard and neatly dressed, and he was a well-dressed person.

"Chen was terrified, and he didn't dare to be the invitation of Taishou." Ye Chen stepped forward and made a deep salute, from the seniority and the identity, he had to do enough to give the gift.

"Come, sit, you're welcome."

Taishou is very kind, but Ye Chen also knows how to communicate, after all, the vice president of the group in his previous life, the kung fu at the wine table is a must.

The two of them drank and talked happily, only talking about the wind and the moon, not about the world, but they were also happy, like friends who had not seen each other for many years.

That is too guarded to enter the topic, and Ye Chen is certainly not in a hurry. Halfway through the banquet, the Taishou put down his glass and began to talk about business.

"Virtuous nephew, I'm really ashamed that the Ye family was robbed before, but as a taishou, I can't keep one side peaceful." After the two talked, Taishou began to call the virtuous nephew and the virtuous nephew, as if the two had been friends for a long time.

"Lord Taishou doesn't have to blame himself, the bandits are all outlaws, lawless, and it really has nothing to do with Lord Taishou, but my Ye family will never let it go, and I will definitely revenge the burning of the Ye family." Qingfeng Village was destroyed, but the revenge of the Ye family was not avenged, because the mastermind behind the scenes still did not give the head.

"Well, of course, the old man believes that the virtuous nephew has the ability to take revenge, but the enemy may not be the thief of Qingfeng Village."

As soon as Ye Chen heard that the meat drama was coming, it was impossible for him to have nothing to do with the invitation, so he chatted with his young descendant.

"Oh, it was indeed the Qingfeng Village thief who robbed my Ye family that day, I don't know what is behind this."

Of course, Ye Chen knew the secret story, and he knew who the person behind it was, but he had to save face, and he had to probe his bottom to find out why.

"On that day, the Ye family was on fire, illuminating the whole city, but none of the soldiers defending the city dared to go out of the city, and they watched the Ye family almost be engulfed in the fire." Tai Shou stopped when he said this, looking at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen frowned, could it be that this Taishou wanted to tell himself that the captain who guarded the city was a fellow party of Qingfeng Village, although he had long known that he was related to Qingfeng Village, but Taishou told himself why.

"What Taishou-sama means is that there are people in this city who are making trouble."

"That's right, the captain who guarded the city didn't plan to go out of the city to rescue that day, but the old man couldn't do anything about him, even if he asked him, he could say that the situation at night was unknown, and besides, they went out of the city early the next morning to check."

Of course, Ye Chen knew that it was useless to start with them in this regard, and no one in the court would care about it, so Ye Chen planned to take revenge in his own way.

"Then I don't know what Taishou means?" Ye Chen really didn't understand what Taishou was going to do, he didn't have the ability to take down the captain who was guarding the city, so wouldn't telling himself these things add to the blockage?

"It's a shame to say that the old man has done nothing since he took office, it's not that the old man doesn't want to act, but he can't do anything." Taishou sighed and said leisurely.

Ye Chen somewhat understood, this Taishou was probably looking for himself to cooperate. However, you don't need to be busy taking a stand.

Ye Chen didn't speak, Taishou continued: "The old man is an outsider, and he has never been an official in Liaodong or Youzhou at all, so he has been completely hollowed out by the local officials. ”

"Headed by the county magistrate Shi Huangfei, the main officials under me are all from his line, and I am too conservative to be set up."

In fact, Li Wei knew that if he wanted to fight for it, he could also win a large part of the power, but when he first came to Liaodong, he had no foundation, no support, and he didn't want to go against the local strong officials, and now he thinks that the opportunity has come.

Ye Chen probably understood that this Taishou wanted to cooperate with him and seize power. Use the Ye family's influence in Liaodong to help him gain more power.

Ye Chen thought about it, he had to do something to the characters on the official face, and someone covered him would indeed reduce a lot of trouble.

"Taishou is the head of a county, and my Ye family is very supportive of Taishou being able to take charge of Liaodong and revitalize my Liaodong." Ye Chen's words were undoubtedly expressing his position.

After Ye Chen said his position, the two of them could be regarded as talking, and they didn't have to worry too much about it, and they didn't have to be tempted anymore.

So this Taishou told Ye Chen what he knew, what Ye Chen didn't expect was that Li Wei knew quite a lot, although the power was almost hollowed out, but Taishou was too shou, and many things were still very convenient to do.

This county magistrate Shi is a local and has a lot of power, and Zhu Ming, the lieutenant in charge of the soldiers and horses of a county, only pays attention to interests, and the most important officials in the county are not on the side of Taishou, and they are tied up when they do things, so Taishou Li Wei chooses to forbear and find a time to get all the power back.

Ye Chen talked with Taishou Li Wei for a long time, and did not talk about any specific measures, but both of them understood that they each had their own plans, as long as they could cooperate with each other at that time.

This Taishou Mansion and his party did not disrupt Ye Chen's plan, if there was, it was so that Ye Chen could let go a little. At least it's okay to make a little more noise.
