Volume 1: The Conquest of the Quartet Chapter 41: The Storm Rises

In the middle of Nanzhou City, it is still the earthen tile house, but it is much bigger than three months ago, the original front yard and a backyard have become like this, dozens of courtyards are combined together, hundreds of stoves are built against the wall, and utensils and ores are piled up like mountains and scattered on the ground.

"Is this where those people work? It's hard to imagine that such a miraculous thing could be made of such mortal iron. Jiang Daocheng grabbed a piece of iron casually.

"It's just a gadget. Ye Wu said humbly.

Ye Wu took the bag in Mo Wuru's hand and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen, you go to the hall to rest for a while, and I'll let you see how my craftsmanship is later." ”

Jiang has long wanted to try Brother Ye's cooking. Jiang Daocheng said with a smile.

Seeing that Ye Wu was leaving, Jiang Ruyan plucked up her courage, and she grabbed the corner of Ye Wu's clothes.

"I ...... I'll go with you. She said shyly.

"Let's go. Ye Wu smiled slightly and did not refuse.

Mo Wuyi looked at Ye Wu and was silent for a long time.

Mo ruthlessly looked at Mo Wuyi's lonely appearance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Gone. He patted Mo Wuyi's shoulder and whispered.

Mo Wuyi came back to his senses, and he followed a few people into the hall.

The meal was gathered, and several people sat around the table, looking at the dishes, the words and dishes were fragrant, and several people swallowed their saliva in unison.

"Brother Ye is really a good skill, this kind of cooking skills is not too much compared to the imperial kitchen. Jiang Daocheng praised.

"Brother Jiang praised. Ye Wu said with a smile.

Just as a few people were about to move their chopsticks, outside the door, the voice of the head of the Yue family sounded.

"Boss Ye, Yue is late, don't blame Yue. ”

Seeing this, Ye Wu got up to greet him.

"Elder Yue is not too late, come, take a seat. He invited.

Along with the head of the Yue family, there was also a young man.

"This is ......" Ye Wu looked at the young man, with a long face, a protruding mouth, and a slight resemblance to the head of the Yue family.

The young man looked disdainful at this.

The head of the Yue family put down his wine glass.

"This is Inuzi Yue Dun Mountain. He said, and then motioned, "Dunshan, I've seen the city lord soon." ”

Yue Dunshan reluctantly stood up.

"I've seen the Ye City Lord. With that, he sat down.

"You kid!" the head of the Yue family said angrily.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Ye Wu hurriedly came out to play a round.

"I'm the same generation as my brother-in-law, so I don't have to be like this. ”

Seeing this, the head of the Yue family gave up.

Yue Dunshan was not grateful, but even more proud, he left the people seated, and finally fell his gaze directly on the two women.

"Gollum ......" he swallowed, not hiding his desire in the slightest.

Jiang Ruyan was uncomfortable with it.

"Brother Cheng, I'm full, go down first. With that, she stepped back.

Ye Wu saw what he was thinking.

"You go down first, and I'll bring you some later." He whispered.

"Hmm. Jiang Ruyan smiled every day and retreated.

In the hall, there is a table of dishes and a few buckets of wine.

"The head of the Yue family should not be polite, move the chopsticks. Ye Wu signaled.

The head of the Yue family nodded.

Yue Dunshan didn't care about etiquette, and on the premise that Jiang Daocheng, the prince, didn't move his chopsticks, he took the lead in picking up vegetables, stuffed them into his mouth, and immediately spit them out.

"Phew!What the hell is this!" he said, with a disgusting look on his face, "This is what people eat?"

"You rabbit cub, get out of here!" the head of the Yue family scolded.

Yue Dunshan was not afraid at all, and said, "Hmph, that's it, master, I'm not rare here!"

After that, Yue Dunshan kicked away the stool and strode away.

Ye Wu looked at all this, his fists clenched, and Yue Dunshan's move could be seen by anyone with a clear eye.

"Lord Ye, the kid is not sensible, don't blame, don't blame. The head of the Yue family hurriedly smiled, and then followed out the door.

"Hmm......" Ye Wu waved his hand, his face was not filled with joy or anger.

People are always forgetful, especially for clowns like Yue Dunshan.

"Thank you very much for your dedication during this time, come, toast to our beautiful tomorrow!" Ye Wu smiled with satisfaction, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had laughed like this.

"In the future, I will thank Young Master Ye for more care. Mo ruthlessly raised his glass and said, and so did the rest of the people.

“......”

After three rounds of drinking, Ye Wu seemed to think of something, he picked up the clean empty bowl, thought about it, served a small half spoon of rice, and sandwiched a few dishes that basically no one had touched.

"You eat first. He said, and went out the door.

Jiang Ruyan leaned on the table, her face slightly sad.

"Who?" she looked out the door, a look of wariness.

"I, Ye ...... Honest. The voice outside the door was slightly hesitant.

Jiang Ruyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw this, and she exhaled to calm her mood.

The '......squeak' door opened.

"I ...... Got you something to eat. Ye Wu entered the house.

Jiang Ruyan glanced at it, but saw that the dishes in the bowl were all disliked by ordinary people.

"Poof...... she laughed and picked up her chopsticks, "do you remember?"

"Naturally. Ye Wu scratched his head, and the atmosphere became awkward.

"I went back. Ye Wu got up and left.

"Wait," Jiang Ruyan grabbed its cuffs, hesitated for a moment, and she sent it away, "It's okay, you can go get busy......

Ye Wu's face showed a complicated expression, he paused, and walked away.

"Brother Ye is back?" Jiang Daocheng looked at Ye Wu.

Recalling Jiang Ruyan's innocent smile, Ye Wu's face was solemn.

"Now it's time to get down to business. His voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone present.

As soon as they heard this, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"The situation in the national capital...... I guess you know that too. Ye Wu said.

Everyone looked at each other, and although they hadn't heard of it, they also had some guesses in their hearts from what the heavenly kingdom had done.

Jiang Daocheng stood up.

"Today, the demons steal the country, the people are not happy, and the world is in chaos, and we are in the old capital is the emperor's secret order to save the world!" he said impassionedly.

"Who is our enemy?" Mo said ruthlessly.

This question leads people to wonder, yes, what kind of horror should a person who can control such a huge empire be.

"Our enemies are strong. Shi Youshan said.

The crowd was silent.

"Even so, we have to fight," Ye Wuqi said, "If nothing else, just because this is our root!

Li Gou's eyes flickered.

"But can we win?" we are now struggling to gain a foothold in Nanzhou City...... "He said hesitantly.

Mo nodded ruthlessly.

"We want to pass the Nanzhou City pass......," he sighed, "Those big families seem to have said yes and boycott us, and the gossip that comes from them is also aimed at us." ”

Mo Lao sighed, closed his eyes and looked up.

"We have been pressed by others, and our sales are dismal, all of which are maintained by the money received by the young master, and we have to spend three-quarters to build the factory...... Even if the exhibition is back in the light for a few days, it will be beyond its means in a few days......" he muttered.

Ye Wu listened, his fists clenched, and he repeatedly tolerated it, opening these families is to kick his nose and face.

"How can this be? Isn't manpower not costly? How can there be such a big expense?" Shi Youshan was puzzled.

Mo Lao glanced at Shi Youshan.

"The people you invite don't want money, and they all fight against hundreds, but what about the building materials? What about the food expenses? Those are all to be purchased from the family? The things are in the hands of the people, and they can sell them as they want, and there are many people who sit on the ground and raise the price. "He didn't have a good air.

The crowd fell silent, and indeed the current situation was not optimistic for them.

"When will the factory be completed?" Ye Wu asked.

Mo Lao pinched his fingers.

"It's just a few days. He said.

Ye Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That is, the most difficult period has passed. He said cheerfully.

The crowd was puzzled.

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Daocheng asked.

"Once the plant is built, we will be able to form a closed economic chain and be self-sufficient, and the rest is a matter of time. Ye Wu said.

Everyone nodded.

Ye Wu paused and said to everyone: "You have started to prepare in the past few days, and arrange the people under your command to go out of the city. ”

Nanzhou City Inner Ring - Qijia Hall

In the hall, there were ten people sitting, who were the top ten families in Nanzhou City.

"You've seen it too. The head of the Qi family knocked on the table, he looked at the rest of the family heads, and said coldly.

"This surnamed Ye is too rampant!" The person who spoke was the head of the family who refused to cooperate with Ye Wu a few months ago, seeing that Ye Wu had made a lot of money in the past few days, his eyes were red, he really wanted to get a piece of the pie with Ye Wu, but when he recalled how he treated the envoy sent by Ye Wu to talk about cooperation, this idea suddenly disappeared, and he had to vent his dissatisfaction here.

"That's it! What has he been repairing circuits and doing in the past few months, making the whole city a miasma, and our income this month is a full thirty percent less than last month. A family owner who came from the cloth business snorted coldly.

"Not only that, but he also bought a large number of workers, and the wages were more than three times that of us...... The other day, those workers were messing with me about the wage increase! I'm fed up with him!" said a mine owner as he slammed his table.

The words of these two people completely ignited the anger of the families present, and they told the head of the Qi family one by one about the hardships they had suffered in the past few days.

"Tell me about this, is this something that a man can do?"

"Yes, he can get rich if he wants to, but he can't cut us off in order to get rich!"

“......”

Wu Changkong didn't say a word the whole time.

The head of the Qi family looked at Wu Changkong, only to see that Wu Changkong's face changed several times, obviously something big had happened.

"What? Brother Wu......"

"Bring it on. Wu Changkong snorted coldly on a row of tables, and then saw a scary man in black walking in with a broken limb.

"Who told you to check that matter!" Wu Changkong didn't care about etiquette at all, and he pulled the man's collar.

"Yes...... It's City Lord Ye! He's the one who sent me to investigate that matter! It's nothing to do with me! I'm just ......," the man in black begged for mercy.

When everyone heard that it was that, their faces immediately changed.

"Ye Cheng ......" Wu Changkong thought, his five fingers clenched, he didn't want to move Ye Cheng immediately, but today's investigation completely made him change his mind, he used his arm hard, only to hear the sound of Gaba, the man's head fell ninety degrees after screaming, he threw it away, and sat back on the seat.

Qiu Kui saw this scene through the cracks in the roof.

The young master must be notified quickly. Thinking so in his heart, he walked away with a light footstep and a flight.

"What person!" Wu Changkong suddenly looked at the roof, and the moonlight from the roof sprinkled in his fingertips.

"Someone is eavesdropping!" he frowned, and his figure turned into a streamer of light, breaking through the roof and chasing out.

"What!" Qiu Kui looked at the streamer behind him, and was shocked, he could catch up with him in such a short time, this person was by no means idle.

"I have no intention of passing by, and I ask my seniors to raise their noble hands. Qiu Kui said.

"Hmph, sophistry is useless, you will die!" Wu Changkong said, and then lined up with a palm in the air towards Qiu Kui.

Qiu Kui frowned, I see that you are a senior and don't want to do anything with you, since you are so ignorant, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.

His true qi surged, this palm was even better than Wu Changkong, Wu Changkong was knocked back two steps by such a palm, Qiu Kui hurriedly fled when he saw this, he was not suitable for a war of attrition.

Wu Changkong looked at Qiu Kui, his fingers rattling.

"If it weren't for the injuries...... I'm going to cramp you out of your bones!" Wu Changkong stroked his chest and coughed several times.

What he said was not false, in his heyday, the entire empire could compete with him, and only the great master was qualified to fight him. He snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and left.
