Back in his courtyard, Ye Qiu waved his way back, and his memories appeared like a spring.

In this life, he traveled to a troubled era, the original owner lived in a wealthy merchant family, and the family's business spread all over the Nanxu Kingdom, as long as it was profitable, whether it was grain, cloth, horses, medicinal herbs, restaurants, etc., any business was done.

It is easy to attract people's eyes when the business is big, especially in such an era, the wealth gathered by the Ye family is enough to make all the people who are tempted, their hometown is in Jing'an City, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the King of Donghe, and it is this one who is the first to arouse coveting.

In his previous life, this person was first recruited, and after Ye Qiu disagreed, he was assassinated again, and finally took refuge in the King of the Mountains at the suggestion of the original sister, that is, Ye Lu.

King Linshan is indeed a young and resourceful vassal king, he recruited the Ye family with the sincerity of marrying Ye Lu as a side concubine, and since then the Ye family has become his logistics warehouse, and all the expenses of King Linshan are basically inseparable from the support of the Ye family.

A few years later, King Linshan successfully ascended to the throne, Ye Jiagong was named a super prince, and Ye Lu was also promoted from a side concubine to an imperial concubine.

But the birds are good and the bow is hidden, the Ye family has both monstrous wealth and noble status, and there are imperial concubines and princes in the palace, which naturally aroused the jealousy of King Linjiang.

So of course, the Ye family was finally raided on a trumped-up charge, but after the Ye family was exiled, Ye Lu was named the queen, and the eldest prince born to her was also made the prince.

What makes Ye Qiu feel even more interesting is that Ye Lu doesn't seem to be from this world, since she married the king of Linjiang, she not only researched gunpowder, but also exploited resources such as coal and iron ore on a large scale, and those technologies are by no means owned by this world.

In the first life, the original body's will is to no longer attach itself to any vassal king, and to ensure the safety of the Ye clan.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes, revealing sharp eyes, since it was a troubled time, since the imperial court did not act, the vassal kings of all places could establish themselves as kings and govern themselves, why couldn't he?

The Ye family has enough money and connections, in this troubled world, money is everything, as long as you can feed those troubled people, they can do anything for you.

As for the sister who took advantage of Ye Qiu and betrayed the Ye family with her own hands, Ye Qiu would not care about her in this life, he would let her know that it was never as good as being strong to be dependent on others.

and his stepmother Li Dezhen, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are an elder, he protects her to know who is in charge of this family.

"Someone."

"What does the eldest young master command?"

"Go and invite the second young master and the two uncles."

"Yes."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them gathered in his courtyard, Ye Qiu's second brother was a concubine, named Ye Cheng, who was raised by his stepmother to live an honest life, but Ye Qiu knew in his heart that although this second brother didn't talk much, he was the most secure in doing things.

In addition, his two uncles are also his own uncles, because the two uncles have not had a son born for many years, and they only have daughters under their knees, they treat Ye Qiu as a parent, which is why Ye Qiu invited them to discuss important matters.

"The two uncles, please sit down, and the second brother will do the same, and I came to you to discuss important matters."

Seeing his serious expression, one of the uncles frowned and asked, "Could it be the matter that the King of Donghe came to solicit recently?" The King of Donghe has always acted viciously, if he is attached, he is afraid that there will be no flesh and skin left of our Ye family's final devouring, and if he does not rely on them, he is afraid that there will be a disaster of annihilation. ”

"I also heard that your mother recently found someone to go to Linshan, and it seems that she has a relationship with the King of Linshan, but I heard that the King of Linshan is too young and lacks strength, so he has no intention of making a move."

"In troubled times, even if you don't have a momentum, you have to be forced to participate in the end, I think the king of Linshan is not that simple, you should be able to cooperate, Qiu'er, what do you mean?"

"I called the two uncles and the second brother over today, it is precisely because of this incident that our Ye family's business is too huge, and anyone who sees it wants to take a bite, if we want to transcend the world, it is impossible." Ye Qiu said with deep eyes.

"Then Qiu'er, do you have a plan in your heart? Which one are you going to attach to? ”

"I don't have any intention of attaching myself to anyone."

As soon as these words came out, not only his two uncles, but even Ye Cheng, who had never liked to talk, looked surprised.

"What does this mean? Are you going to take refuge in the imperial court? But the little emperor is young, it is difficult to succeed, the queen mother is absurd, and the affairs of those ministers are all over the world, and the people are full of grievances, I am afraid that it is inappropriate. ”

"There is another one who is now in high morale is the King of Xichuan, but the King of Xichuan is farther away from us, and now I am afraid that it is too late to contact, as for some other small vassal kings, I am afraid that they do not have the courage to cooperate with our Ye family."

Ye Qiu nodded when he heard this: "It seems that the two uncles have seen the current situation very clearly, second brother, what do you mean?" ”

Ye Cheng was suddenly asked a little unnatural, mainly because he used to be like a transparent person in this family, usually doing some small things to collect debts, and he was also used to not being reused.

However, he still answered Ye Qiu's words truthfully: "I think if we have to rely on a vassal king, the king of Linshan is the best choice, I heard my mother say that the king of Linshan has plans to marry the third sister as a side concubine, this is a signal of his sincere solicitation, but ......"

"But what?" All three looked at him.

"But I think that even if King Linchuan is sincere, we don't have to take out all the Ye family's resources to support him, I'm afraid that he will be jealous of him after the matter is completed in the future, so we can pretend to be weak."

Hearing his answer, Ye Qiu's eyes were full of brilliance, he didn't expect his second brother to have such a long-term insight, and he had always been ignored, he had already known the promise that King Linchuan had given to their stepmother.

"Well, what Cheng Er said makes sense."

"If you really grow up, you will also go out with me when your uncle goes out in the future."

The two uncles nodded to Ye Cheng when they listened, their eyes full of relief.

Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed to be praised, and looked at Ye Qiu shyly: "Big brother, what do you think?" ”

"What you said is very reasonable, that is, when your own family is divided, let alone an ambitious vassal king in this troubled world, if you are attached, we have to guard against it, but I didn't invite you to come here to discuss which vassal king to attach to."

"What's that? Is there anything more important than that now? ”

"Have you ever thought that since we have money and a way, since the vassal kings and mobbs in various places can go their own way, why can't we recruit people and horses, why can't we participate in the competition? Why do we have to be attached to others? ”

Listening to Ye Qiu's rebellious words, the two uncles and Ye Cheng both gasped.
