Chapter 1174: Rich Merchant

"Brother, why don't you let the city lord help us?" Out of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Cheng, who had been holding back and not speaking, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't he already promise to help us?" Ye Qiu's old god is at ease.

Ye Cheng frowned: "But the city lord just promised not to help each other, if he doesn't send troops, how can our family resist the men and horses of the Donghe King and the Linshan King?" ”

"Do you think a single ginseng plant can get that old fox from the Willow City Lord to help us?" Ye Qiu shook his head, "As long as the city lord doesn't help deal with us, it will be the best help for us now." ”

"In that case, what are we going to do against the people of the King of Linshan and the King of the East River?"

"Then let them kill each other!" Ye Qiu chuckled.

Ye Cheng still frowned: "But I don't think the people they sent over would be so stupid and fooled." ”

"Don't worry, your brother and I still have a back hand, there is the entire Ye family standing behind me, I will not risk the lives of the whole family to risk with me, since I have the heart to fight for hegemony, naturally there are hole cards in my hand that others do not have, second brother, the business of the family may be handed over to you in the future, and you will be responsible for the scheduling of all logistics supplies in the future."

Ye Cheng was taken aback, and hurriedly excused himself: "Brother, how can this work?" I've never been in charge of such a big thing, what if I mess up? ”

Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder: "I naturally believe that you will leave these things to you to do, second brother, I understand your ability, you don't have to be arrogant, in the future, I will be in front of you and you will be behind, and our brothers will work together to break the gold." ”

Ye Cheng is just a concubine, and even their father didn't pay attention to him when he was alive, not to mention that after their father's death, people outside only knew that the eldest young master didn't know that he was the second young master, but fortunately, his brother had never treated him badly, and he himself had no ambitions, and his life was like this.

Unexpectedly, since his brother called him over for discussion yesterday, he actually informed him of all the decisions, and even handed over the family property to him to take care of, what kind of trust is this in him?

After being ignored for a long time, and suddenly being taken so seriously, Ye Cheng looked at Ye Qiu's eyes with emotion, he thought that he was not so useless, since the eldest brother believed in him like this, then he would definitely do his best to assist in the future, and never embarrass the eldest brother!

"Big brother, don't worry, I will work hard to do everything you explain in the future."

"Okay, I'll give you a task now, notify it, our Ye family wants to recruit guards, twelve to thirty years old, regardless of birth, including food and accommodation."

"Big brother, will you be a little younger at the age of twelve? If you fight, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pick up a weapon. Ye Cheng said hesitantly.

"It's not small, those civilians look young at the age of twelve because of lack of nutrition, as long as we are fed enough, we will soon be able to use it, and I have some exercises here, which are only suitable for young people to practice, but not for the elderly."

"Exercises?" Ye Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Well, I accidentally got some books, and the records on them are some exercises, I didn't believe it at first, but I tried to practice it, and I really practiced the sense of qi, and the book said that even if you only practice to the second layer, you can fight against ten with one, and it is precisely because of this that I moved to fight for hegemony, second brother, think about it, if we have an army of 5,000 people, it is equivalent to 50,000 people in other people's combat power......"

Listening to Ye Qiu's description, Ye Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, if that was the case...... So who are they still afraid of?

"But after all, it's just a statement in the book, I don't know if there is so much ability, and I don't know how many people can refine it, but children's bones are soft, and their receptivity is higher than that of adults, so I let you start recruiting from the age of twelve, if you are less than twelve years old, but the seedlings look good."

"Big brother, I understand what you mean, I'll start preparing when I go back."

"Well, come to my courtyard after you're done, and I'll teach you first."

Ye Cheng was even more excited now: "Yes, thank you, big brother." ”

The carriage swayed all the way to Ye Mansion, and there were already people waiting at the door.

"Young Master, Madame asked you to come over."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng glanced at Ye Qiu worriedly, he didn't have any pursuits before, and he didn't bother to fight for any family property, but he didn't have a mind, it didn't mean that others didn't have that mind.

Now Mrs. is not the biological mother of the two brothers, his biological mother is just an aunt, who is gone in the early years, and his eldest brother's mother is the first lady, and I heard that she also went in two years after giving birth to her eldest brother.

As for the current mother, it is the stepfamily of their father's later marriage, and when she was pregnant at the beginning, she did something to him and her eldest brother, but later her father saw through it but was afraid that she was a pregnant woman, so she didn't deal with it.

Fortunately, God is eye-opening, the stepwife failed to give birth to a son, but even so, she still does not stop, since she can't do anything to the stepsons, then she starts with the business, and now the stewards of many shops in the Ye family are from the Li family, Ye Cheng remembered what his eldest brother said yesterday, thinking that he was afraid that the people of the Li family would be slowly cleared out in the future, who let the Li family like and attach to the king of Linshan?

"You go and do something, I'll go visit my mother." Ye Qiu's face was as usual, and others couldn't see what crazy decisions he had made in the past two days.

Only Ye Cheng secretly admired it, and secretly said that his eldest brother was really worthy of being a person who did great things, and his stepwife's little means were only afraid that he would not be able to please the eldest brother.

"Mother." Ye Qiu saluted respectfully, and looked at Ye Lu on the side and smiled, "The third sister is also here." ”

"Big brother." Ye Lufu gave a salute, looking at her cheap eldest brother and admired in her heart, it really deserves to be a wealthy businessman's family, and the wives she married are all very good-looking, she thought that she was already a national beauty, but every time she saw her eldest brother, she couldn't help but marvel.

Especially today, she always feels that her eldest brother seems to be different, there is nothing else, but the momentum seems to be stronger.

"I didn't come to greet my mother in the morning, and I asked my mother not to be surprised." Ye Qiu was apologetic, but he didn't say anything about the reason why he didn't come to ask for peace.

He is now the ruler of the Ye family, and even if he is an elder of the Li family, it is not good to embarrass him on the surface: "You have a lot of things, and it is nothing if you haven't come for a day or two, but I heard that you went to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I heard that the city lord's wife is sick again, so I brought some medicinal herbs to visit, after all, our Ye family is rooted here, and it is thanks to the city lord's care on weekdays." Ye Qiu explained reasonably.

Li nodded absentmindedly: "You did the right thing, it's just what I told you yesterday, how did you think about it?" ”
