Chapter 46: The New Governor of the County
In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn again, and the south has gradually cooled after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since returning from Shouzhou, Ye Yu has put all his mind on business.
Although he experienced a lot of things during this period, it did not affect the rapid expansion of his business. Thanks to Liu Yuanshan's strong support, Ye Yu spared no effort to fund the construction of bridges and the consolidation of embankments.
Although the cost is not small, it is also because of these actions to benefit the people that Ye Yu has won the reputation of a righteous businessman.
The quality of the goods is far less than the quality of the reputation, which is also the so-called brand effect in later generations, and the quality of Ye Yu's cloth is obvious to all.
Therefore, after Ye Yu's righteous act of benefiting the people, he accelerated the pace of his occupation of the Chuzhou market.
And Ye Yu did not rest on his laurels, not only tried to increase the number of looms and spinning machines, but also diversified the matching of dyeing pigments.
The materials used for coloring in ancient China can be divided into mineral pigments and vegetable dyes, of which the latter is the main dye in ancient times, so the clothing in ancient times is relatively simple in terms of color mixing.
Even the clothes worn by today's royal relatives and nobles are much brighter than those of the common people, but they are too dull in color.
Although Ye Yu is not very professional in this regard, he has done some research on the method of mixing several pigments into new colors.
Even if he is a little unsure of the dosage and temperature, what he has now is time, and there is no ready-made recipe for him to explore according to the general direction.
This kind of exploration with a direction is much easier than exploring without a clue. When he got the accurate formula after repeated trials, Ye Yu had to sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was really immeasurable.
It is so difficult to explore by yourself, so how difficult is it for the ancients to be able to start from scratch?
However, in this way, the diversification of cloth colors has given the people more choices, and it has also given the wealthy nobles a vane to follow the trend and hunt for curiosities.
Therefore, all of a sudden, in the entire Chuzhou and even the surrounding states, the shops and cloth villages have sent people to Qingliu County to discuss the order. And Qingliu County is also because of the tourists who come here, and the city is more prosperous than in the past.
During the period, regarding the relationship between Guo Xiaotian and Li Ping'er, Ye Yu specially asked Guo Xiaotian about where they got married. Guo Xiaotian means to get married in the county town, hoping that Ye Yu can be his officiant.
Ye Yu didn't have any opinion on this, but Li Dayin, who was far away in Yuping Mountain, disagreed, and insisted on letting Guo Xiaotian go to Yuping Mountain to get married, and sent a letter explaining the reason.
After reading the letter, Ye Yu was a little moved, he didn't expect Li Dayin to think so carefully about him.
If the location of marriage is set in Qingliu County, with Ye Yu's current status and connections in Qingliu County, he will definitely be full of guests and friends.
At that time, there will be a lot of people, if Li Ping'er's identity is revealed, the marriage will still be secondary, and the impact on his business in the future will also be extremely far-reaching.
Imagine how a businessman who deals with mountain bandits can convince others?
Ye Yu didn't care about these out of a moment of joy, so after finally discussing with Guo Xiaotian, Guo Xiaotian also made this decision.
In fact, Guo Xiaotian didn't want to deal with the Li brothers and sisters, and Ye Yu had already seen it. Since Xindao has already agreed to the marriage, how can he regret it at will, the most important thing is that your kid picked off Li Ping'er's clothes.
Thinking that Guo Xiaotian had stripped Li Ping'er's clothes, Ye Yu couldn't help laughing, and afterwards Guo Xiaotian told the truth about it.
It turned out that after Guo Xiaotian escaped from Qingfeng Village that day, due to the rugged and rugged mountain road in Yuping Mountain, Guo Xiaotian suddenly felt a sense of confusion, and wanted to escape down the mountain several times but returned to the same place, and was finally caught up by Li Ping'er, who followed closely.
Although Guo Xiaotian was not Li Dayin's opponent, it was more than enough to deal with Li Ping'er, and after a few rounds, he took Li Ping'er down lightly.
But in the face of the minions who followed him, Guo Xiaotian had no choice but to take Li Ping'er hostage and slowly fled down the mountain. On the way, Guo Xiaotian asked several times about the way down the mountain, but Li Ping'er not only refused to give in, but scolded and scolded endlessly.
Guo Xiao is naturally wooden and quiet, so he naturally hates people who talk a lot in his ear, and Li Ping'er is not cooperative at all, so he was angry and forced Li Ping'er to comply.
Li Ping'er, who grew up in a bandit's den, has a kind of banditry and is threatened by Guo Xiaotian.
It's a pity that Li Ping'er met a stunned young man this time, and Guo Xiaotian, who has a tendon, will only admit death, which can be seen from the scene when Ye Yu and him met for the first time.
Therefore, Guo Xiaotian saw that the other party was uncooperative, and stretched out his big hand to tear Li Ping'er's clothes, revealing half of the breast shape under the red belly pocket! Li Ping'er, who was shocked, succumbed to the ......
Regarding Guo Xiaotian and Li Ping'er's affair of picking clothes, Ye Yu can only say that this qiē may be fate, otherwise Li Ping'er would not fall in love with Guo Xiaotian.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it's fun to be able to walk together in this way. However, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, on the day Guo Xiaotian got married, he couldn't go to sit on the officiant's marriage!
……
Besides, since Su Quanzhong was kidnapped, although his daughter returned safely in the end, she has not been very healthy due to exhaustion.
Now that he has seen Ye Yu's achievements in business, he is very pleased with his insight, and at the same time, he has also made an important decision.
He decided to hand over the small family business of his Su family to Ye Yu to take care of.
Ye Yu resolutely disagreed with Su Quanzhong's decision, although he knew that it was commonplace to do business, buy and sell, and annex, but he didn't want Su Quanzhong's life's hard work to go to waste.
Therefore, in the Su family's mansion, Ye Yu and Su Quanzhong were engaged in a tug-of-war on their tongues.
"Uncle Su, don't mention this matter again!" Ye Yu's attitude was very resolute and he refused to give in.
Su Quanzhong sighed slightly: "Virtuous nephew, your filial husband has received it!" But you have also seen that the old man is already sick like a dead wood, and who will he hand over this property to when the old man returns to old age in a hundred years? Yueyun? The old man has been in business for many years, and although the family business is not big, how can Yueyun and a female stream support it? The shopping mall is like a battlefield, if it is unable to maintain it, it can only be swallowed, can you bear it? ”
"This ......"
When Su Quanzhong said this, Ye Yu suddenly felt speechless, how could he not know that what Su Quanzhong said was the truth. But the reason why he refused, in addition to thinking about Su Quanzhong's kindness, there was another layer of concern that he didn't say.
"Huh! Don't worry too much about the nephew......"
Su Quanzhong seemed to have seen Ye Yu's thoughts, and after a pause, his eyes closed slightly and said to himself: "Descendants have their own blessings, and the old man doesn't want to interfere too much!" Fate is such a thing, sometimes it is forced to ask, this old man knows very well! ”
“……”
was seen by the other party, Ye Yu inevitably felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak.
As Su Quanzhong said, he was worried that this was Su Quanzhong's dowry for his daughter, and if he took it without knowing it, he wouldn't be able to tell it in the future.
For Su Yueyun, he just treats him as a friend, and he has not yet risen to the height of talking about marriage. Even for Qiulan, the servant girl next to him, he just had a grateful heart.
But now that Su Quanzhong has made his words clear, Ye Yu is also a lot relieved, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, but at the moment he has no intention of getting married.
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said with a respectful expression: "In this case, the little nephew will definitely live up to his trust!" ”
"Daddy......" At this time, a clear bell-like broken step walked into the pavilion with Su Yueyun's soft call.
Su Quanzhong slowly opened his eyes and asked softly, "Yueyun, what's the matter?" ”
Su Yueyun walked into the pavilion, first glanced at Ye Yu and smiled, and then responded: "Daddy, this is a letter from Lin'an!" ”
Seeing this, Ye Yu knew that this was a private matter, so he said solemnly; "Since my uncle has a letter from a distant guest, then the little nephew won't bother......"
"Huh! The virtuous nephew has seen the outside! At this time, Su Quanzhong had already opened the envelope and said with a smile on his face.
"What Daddy said is very true, Brother Yu, you are busy all day and it's rare to see you, can't you stay for a while?"
Although Su Yueyun was shy in her words, after all, it seemed unreserved to keep a man in front of her father, but she still did not hesitate to say it.
Just when Ye Yu felt a little embarrassed, Su Quanzhong had already finished reading the content in his heart, and then laughed heartily: "This county finally has a good county!" ”
Ye Yu couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and then asked, "How can my uncle see it?" According to the little nephew, he will go to Renzhi County in the near future to be named Yang Zheng, could it be that his uncle knows the origin of this new Renzhi County? ”
"Huh! Not only did I know that although the old man and the newcomer Zhixian are not very familiar with each other, his father and the old man have been old friends for many years! Now that the son of the deceased has taken office in this county, the old man should take the wind and wash the dust for him! ”
"Oh? That's a happy event, and it's a matter of course to catch the wind and wash the dust! If the uncle doesn't dislike it, I hope the uncle will recommend him more! ”
Ye Yu didn't expect that the new magistrate would have such a relationship with Su Quanzhong, so he would have a lot of troubles.
"Huh! That's nature! Virtuous nephews can rest assured! Su Quanzhong smiled heartily and gave Ye Yu a reassurance.
Ye Yu smiled and thanked him, and couldn't help but put down a stone in his heart. Not long ago, when he learned from Liu Yuanshankou that the new county magistrate Yang Zheng was about to take office in the near future, he was quite stunned.
In his opinion, Lu Kun has been punished as he deserves, and the vacant position left behind should also be taken over by Liu Yuanshan, but why was he reassigned to the county magistrate to take over.
Could it be that this Yang Zheng has any background, this doubt has always haunted Ye Yu's heart. It is precisely because of this doubt that he has not been less inquiring about Yang Zheng's origin these days.
Now that he knows that Su An'an has a good relationship with Yang Zheng's father, since he has this relationship, Ye Yu is also a lot more relieved. In fact, it doesn't matter to Ye Yu who will serve as the magistrate of Qingliu County.
As long as it is not a corrupt official like Lu Kun, otherwise the businessmen of Qingliu County may have another big blood draw.
Since this Yang Zheng is the son of Su Quanzhong's deceased, seeing that Su Quanzhong has a lot of praise between his words, then this Yang Zheng is at least a good official.
