Sure enough, the banquet of the Chen family and the Ye family was rumored to be boiling early the next morning, and no one in Xiangping City knew that the Chen family had lost face at the banquet last night, but the Ye family had gained huge benefits.

"Dad, are we going to leave it at that? This Ye family is too deceitful. ”

Chen Qi was like a wounded mad dog, in a rage. He had the best face, but what happened last night happened, and now he doesn't even want to go out.

"Hmph, sooner or later, we will return the profits we lost in the Ye family, but I didn't expect the Ye family to really have the ability to play a hand."

Chen Ming's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, revealing a cannibalistic vision.

"Dad, we have invested more than 20 million yuan in the restaurant before and after, and now the family's funds are in an emergency."

Chen Qi was still very anxious about the urgency of the family's funds, he would spend tens of thousands of dollars one night when he went to Chunxianglou, and now that the family had no money for him to squander, he couldn't help but hate Ye Chen to the core.

"Let the Ye family be proud for a few days, and sooner or later they will have to pay the price." Chen Ming said fiercely.

Compared with the decadence of the Chen family, the Ye family was jubilant, and the huge success made the Ye family quickly come to their senses.

And Ye Chen took advantage of this opportunity to reform the Ye family, and the first knife of the reform was cut at the grain store and cloth store.

Grain and cloth have always been the pillar industries of the Ye family, but Ye Chen didn't want this, because it was going to be a troubled time soon, food and cloth were strategic materials, and they would become the objects of plunder from all sides.

Therefore, the first step of Ye Chen's reform is to abolish the grain stores and cloth stores, before they did not dare to move these stores because of the Chen family's attack, but now the Chen family is temporarily suppressed, the Ye family has the upper hand, and the reform will not cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

Of course, Ye Chen did not lay off all of them all at once, but step by step, the first batch of 50 grain stores and 50 cloth stores were cut, and the personnel of these stores were given priority to be arranged to go to the Ye Family Restaurant, and some were arranged to grow vegetables.

Vegetables were not the focus in the past, and few people even went specifically to grow vegetables, but Yejia Restaurant needs a lot of vegetables.

After the store was dismantled, the remaining grain and cloth in the store were transported by Ye Chen to the warehouse where the Ye family was located, the Ye family's warehouse could store a large number of materials, and there was still a lot of space left, Ye Chen's goal was to fill the warehouse within half a year, and then build a new warehouse.

Food is definitely the next focus, maybe the Great Family didn't feel much before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the price of food is slowly rising, it has no impact on them.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, then the importance of food will be beyond imagination, food is life, food is strength, as long as there is food, you can recruit a lot of people.

Therefore, the first step of Ye Chen's reform is to eliminate grain stores and cloth stores, and although he will buy a lot of grain in the future, he will sell it less and hoard it all.

Ye Chen's hoarding was not for Juqi, but to raise soldiers and support the people.

The second step of the reform was to integrate all the caravanserais.

Ye Chen had already asked all the caravans outside to come back, and then reorganized, and the reorganization was to integrate all the caravans into several large caravans. The caravan alone consisted of several hundred guards.

Nowadays, the people are not happy, there are bandits everywhere, and the small caravan is not only uneconomical but also dangerous, and the caravan is larger and transports more things, and it is more cost-effective to go down in one trip.

The second purpose of the caravan integration is to concentrate the forces near Liaodong, and the distant caravans are no longer going, although the far road is highly profitable, but the danger is also great, not to mention that now Liaodong is lurking to deal with the forces of the Ye family, and it is not a matter if there is no force around to protect it.

After the integration, Ye Chen set up five super large caravans, each of the caravan guards was close to a thousand people, and the rest of the personnel had more than 3,000 people, and the caravan only operated in and around Youzhou. In fact, Ye Chen's main purpose was the grasslands in the north.

Ye Chen of the Northern Grassland arranged two caravans, and planned to secretly train a group of intelligence officers to join, of course, this was another arrangement and did not do it together with this reform, this had to be done in secret.

The reform of the caravan is obvious, with a large single volume and high security.

After integrating the caravan, the Ye family still had nearly a thousand extra guards, and Ye Chen, the guard of more than 1,000 people, only arranged 300 people in the Ye Mansion, because the guard camp was near the Ye Mansion, and it would not take ten minutes to arrive.

The remaining 200 personnel were arranged in Xiangping City to protect various restaurants and shops. There are still five hundred people, where Ye Chen plans to arrange it in the craftsman workshop, and the craftsman workshop has been upgraded to the strategic level of the Ye family.

Today's Ye family workshop produces in addition to Quyuan plough and Du Kang wine, which are all big money-makers, and the proportion may not be high now, but it will definitely be higher in the future.

And the third point of this reform is the workshop.

Ye Chen will build a new workshop, the original workshop will continue to produce, and Ye Chen has arranged a large open space around the guard camp to prepare to build a workshop.

The fourth point of Ye Chen's reform is the reform of personnel arrangement, first of all, all managers must learn Arabic numerals and four arithmetic, as well as simple modern accounting methods.

For some important positions, Ye Chen also has a deputy, and once it needs to be expanded or someone changes, it will not be affected.

After some reforms, the overall cohesion of the Ye family has been significantly improved, and the efficiency has also been much higher.

At this time, the Ye family can be regarded as the first family in Liaodong, not counting the armed forces of the guard battalion, there are more than 6,000 people, although the combat effectiveness is not high, but the army at this time, especially the county soldiers, has even worse combat effectiveness.

In terms of financial resources, the Ye family also got rid of the predicament, because Ye Chen took back the caravan and sold some assets far away from Youzhou and transported them back to Liaodong.

In this way, the Ye family in Liaodong, which originally had business all over the Han Dynasty, only a few states around Youzhou had the Ye family's business at this time, and all the other places withdrew back.

Of course, if you sell a lot of industries, you have to buy some industries, and Ye Chen bought tens of thousands of acres of farmland in Liaodong.

In this era, it is too normal for rich families to buy land, which family does not have a large piece of land, of course, Ye Chen's purpose of buying land is different from them only thinking about collecting land rent and exploiting farmers.

In addition to ensuring his own food, Ye Chen's purchase of land is to cultivate his descendants, how to cultivate his descendants, of course, first of all, he wants his own people.

Where do people come from, you can recruit displaced people, there are too many displaced people in this era, and if you want to train them into descendants, you have to have land for them to live in, let them take root, and once they take root, they will follow you.

For five days in a row, Ye Chen was busy with the group, and he had to go to the guard camp for training sooner or later, and the rest of the time he had to deal with a bunch of things.

Dongxue was distressed when she saw it, and she massaged Ye Chen every night, and Ye Chen also enjoyed the life of this maid very much.

Although it was hard, the results of the reform were very great, and Ye Chen's absolute authority was first established.

The old man took advantage of the situation and completely withdrew from the management of the Ye family, so that Ye Chen completely grasped the power of the Ye family.

The second effect is that the Ye family is a behemoth in Liaodong and has strong strength, and it is estimated that if you want to attack the Ye family now, you have to weigh it.

In the past, although the Ye family was one of the four major business families, its strength was scattered, giving people a very weak feeling, but now the Ye family has gathered its strength together, and it is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch if they want to.

Even if the first step of the reform was completed, some things were arranged, and Ye Chen began to be much more relaxed. It's really tired enough for him these days.

The Chen family and the people behind the Chen family looked back, and suddenly found that the Ye family was a behemoth, and gradually showed their sharp fangs, and suddenly died down.

Originally, the banquet that night made the Chen family so embarrassed, it really made the Chen family angry, and Chen Ming, who was going to fight hard with the Ye family, saw the true strength of the Ye family, and had to swallow this breath first.

Ye Chen hasn't paid too much attention to the Chen family recently, if the Chen family doesn't mess with him, he will not know for the time being, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and he will settle accounts with them when he finishes dealing with them.

Wu Xian has also been busy in the past few days, many of Ye Chen's things have been arranged for him to execute, and he has just taken office, many things are not very familiar, fortunately, his father and old Wu housekeeper are by his side.

But even so, Wu Xian also had two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Young master, you have to make up your mind about this matter, I can't stand it."

Wu Xian said to Ye Chen very aggrieved.

Ye Chen was dazed for a while, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Steward Wu, what's going on?"

"Young master, it's all caused by your Du Kang wine, now many people are addicted to it, and you have a limited supply, and now many people are blocking the door of our Ye family restaurant and Ye Mansion, shouting and shouting to buy Du Kang wine."

Ye Chen finally understood, it was indeed he who asked for a limited supply at the beginning, and secretly released all kinds of news to hype Du Kang wine, and now Du Kang wine has been hyped as synonymous with luxury enjoyment.

Many rich families want to have a good time, but if they want to drink, in addition to a small amount of external supply every day, they think they can only go to the Ye family restaurant.

However, Yejia Restaurant does not have a place for anyone who wants to go, and the private rooms are limited, and the requirements can only wait in line.

And because most people go to the restaurant to drink, the time occupied by this private room has become longer, so the number of guests in Yejia Restaurant has decreased every day, and only accepts 80 guests per day.

In fact, Ye Chen began to think about how to do Du Kangjiu a long time ago, but he never had time, and now it seems that he can't do it if he doesn't want to.

"Well, Wu Xian, tomorrow you go and announce that the Du Kang wine is sold off, and now some of it is hoarded in the workshop, and the re-fired wine bottles are enough, and they can start to sell big."

"Young master, it's not a big sale now, since the morning, a large number of caravans have blocked our Ye door, shouting to buy Du Kang wine."

Ye Chen was sweating profusely, before it was just consumers shouting around to consume, but now it is a wholesale.

The businessman's sense of smell is very sensitive, and after so many days, everyone sees a business opportunity and wants to make a fortune.
