The content that came out of Min Yue's mouth still touched Ye Tao a little. The princess who grew up in the royal family is naturally different from him, a craftsman-turned-businessman born in a commoner family. If it is not easy for Ye Tao to develop the original simple Ye family carpenter shop into the current IKEA and Yizhan Building, supplemented by the repair of the docks and the army, then it is even more difficult for a person who can still be called a little girl to find all kinds of opportunities in the court to poke out his tentacles, show his financial ability and be able to be trusted. Ye Tao didn't think about how much so-called discipline Princess Zhaohua's various behaviors of meddling in business, taking down shops, and making investments violated anyway, anyway, for the two of them from another time and space, there was not much difference between this kind of discipline and not. Thinking of so many complicated interpersonal relationships to deal with, especially the situation that the princess who is now "in charge of the harem" is facing, Ye Tao rose to admire.

Maybe it's really interlaced like a mountain. At this moment, the princess is also admiring Ye Tao's brilliant achievements in just a few years. It is true that the skills of various types of work in Dongping are the best in the world, but learning a technology and developing in a balanced way from many technologies and establishing its own technical system are completely two concepts. It is very difficult to perfectly combine technology and business, and to put into practice those ideas and ideas that you have in the modern era and get the approval of others.

Perhaps, the mutual admiration between these two people will continue from now until a long time later.

Ye Tao is still young, and Min Yue's strength of drinking one cup after another may not affect him in the first few years. But it was almost midnight when Ye Tao returned home, and his father Ye Laogen was still waiting for him to come back. There is also a butter lamp lit in the small workshop at home, and the orange-red light is accompanied by a very rhythmic long sound of shavings, showing a peculiar, very reassuring atmosphere in the style of the Ye family.

Although his father, Ye Laogeng, in the past few years, even the things he was most familiar with building furniture felt a little powerless. Originally, Ye Laogeng relied on his solid carpentry work and quite good carvers, although he was not very wealthy, but in Yicheng, large and small, he could be regarded as the first few brands. The small courtyard under the provision is said to have been built by a scholarly door in the past, although it is a little old, but it is elegant and bookish. Ye Laogeng bought the yard and married the woman who was a childhood sweetheart, and hoped that his children would study hard and get ahead in the future. Although Dongping did not discriminate against merchants and craftsmen, in the eyes of those scholars and those high-spirited officials, merchants and craftsmen were nothing. Ye Tao, who has been silent since he was a child, seemed to be a little sullen, but when he began to accept apprentices to teach carpenters, he forced to squeeze in. Thinking that it might not be a bad thing for a son to inherit his father's business, Ye Laogeng did not force Ye Tao to go to study and teach with the apprentices he accepted. With a set of small saws, small planers, and small files made by himself, Ye Tao began his own path of learning.

Several of Ye Laogeng's apprentices are now masters of their own craftsmanship at IKEA and in Ye's workshop, but compared with his son, he is as stupid as a stone. No matter how difficult the work is, as long as you talk about it once, Ye Tao will be able to do it, when he was a child, he had little strength, and some jobs could not be done, but Ye Tao could also do it in other ways with ingenuity. The tools that Ye Tao came up with are even more refreshing. The bow drill was replaced by a crank hand drill, and the sawing, planing, grinding, etc., which used to be done entirely by hand effort, became easier because the sorting of tools became more detailed and varied. But gradually, the days when you could do it single-handedly from the selection of materials to the painting are gone. Speaking of pure carpentry skills, Ye Laogeng is still the first brand in Yicheng, but he no longer cares about the selection of materials or lacquerwork, and completely hands over the operation of the entire Ye workshop to his 14-year-old genius craftsman son - Ye Tao. As for himself, he concentrates on managing all the carpentry work in Ye's workshop every day, ensuring that everything does not have problems in this link, which is a complicated process that he can't understand now.

Watching Ye Tao expand the Ye family's carpenter shop from scratch to today's scale, looking at the Du family, who could only look up to the Du family, the governor Peng and the sailor Master Min are now often coming and going, and Lord Min Yue Min often runs to his own small courtyard to find Ye Tao. Looking at the little change in the attitude of the bosses of Yicheng towards his family, Ye Laogeng knew that from now on, as long as there were no major accidents, the Ye family would definitely become a new big family in Yicheng in the hands of Ye Tao. And Ye Tao is the backbone of the Ye family and the entire industry of the Ye family.

Ye Laogeng didn't know where Ye Tao's ideas and methods came from, not from himself, and watching Ye Tao grow up, he knew that he couldn't learn the skills of the next family, and it could only be attributed to his talent, maybe Ye Tao was the star that God let the Ye family rise up and descend. When Du Fengchi, the son of the Du family, came to tell him what happened today, so that he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the Ye family, Ye Laogeng was even more worried. Waiting for Ye Tao to return safely at home was the only thing he could do.

"Daddy." Pushing open the door of the small workshop at home and looking at his father who was seriously cutting out slender shavings, Ye Tao's heart warmed.

"Tao'er, it's good to be back. The young master of the Du family came to tell me about today's events. Did the young lady thank you? Ye Laogeng put down the planer, shook off the sawdust on his body, and said to Ye Tao.

"Dad, Du Fengchi has asked me to tell you many times, just call him by name. You always call him the young master of the Du family, Feng Chi is very embarrassed. Ye Tao knew that the change of title reflected the rise of the Ye family's status, if it was called like respect in the past, then it would be angry to call it like this now. When he knew that the other party was menacing, Du Fengchi came to the workshop today to help strengthen his momentum, which shows the friendship between the two families. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Tao couldn't explain the identity of the princess to his father, but he needed to explain the matter, and he also had to lay the groundwork for the inevitable development of the capital in the future, he said, "The Miss Zhuo who helped today has a very high status in the capital. Miss Zhuo said that Xue Yuan's matter will be taken care of for us, and I think that I will not encounter such a thing again in the future. ”

Ye Laogeng frowned and said, "Is it appropriate to owe such a big favor?" ”

Ye Tao said with relief: "It's okay, Miss Zhuo thinks of a courtyard in Beijing, and when she should work hard, she will return this favor." Probably just this bit of craftsmanship, people can still see it. It's not easy to do, and it will take a few months or half a year to leave your hometown. ”

Ye Laogeng smiled and said, "To say that in these years, it is really not a loss to have a craft. …… It's okay, in fact, you should also go to the capital to have a look, just get up a yard time, and say what to leave your hometown. If there is a way in the capital, you might as well get the Ye family in. Didn't the old man Qi and the son of the Du family always say that the things of our Ye family have a good reputation in the capital? Ye Laogeng is not the kind of person who will worry about poverty, and Ye Tao's stability that has shown far beyond his years over the years makes him very confident.

"We'll have to see when the time comes. However, if Miss Zhuo can take care of her in the future, there should be no situation in the capital. Ye Tao said with a smile, seeing that his father had relaxed his heart, he was also much more relaxed, "Dad, it's not early now, you go to bed early." Tomorrow Miss Zhuo will come to the workshop to have a look, and Master Min and Master Peng will also come with her. I'm going to have another busy day. ”

Ye Laogen nodded and said, "Didn't they want to come a long time ago?" Those things in the workshop are good, but you don't have to be too wary of those adults, and you can't prevent them. Let them see. After twisting a cloth in the bucket on the side and wiping his body, Ye Laogeng nagged a few more words and went back to his room to sleep, and reminded him, "The girl in your room is still awake." The little girl is worried about you, and she hasn't eaten dinner yet. ”
