"Dang! Dang...... In the courtyard, the hammer sounded regularly with the beating of the workers.

Inside the house, Ye Wu was experimenting with a person on a thing, and next to him, Ye Ling was reporting to him on his recent situation.

"The blacksmith's shop has stabilized, there is no news of the veins so far, and the students in the academy are starting to get used to the teaching content, and everything is getting better. She was delighted.

"Hmm," Ye Wu nodded, he frowned and looked at the human body drawing in front of him, "You said that the direction of people's meridians is like this?"

Gou Yu nodded.

"I saw it when I was in the sect. He was convinced, and then pointed to a few veins, "That's how the fire spell goes......"

Ye Wu looked at the direction of Gou Yu's fingers, and he looked at the things that Gou Yu had made.

"Look, what do you think?" he said, looking at the people around him.

The people around shook their heads.

Ye Wu kept looking at it, and he didn't see the reason for it for a long time. In fact, he is not to blame, they are relatively new to these things, just like deciphering ancient characters, ancient characters are still pictographic, but they don't have any basic theories, these are only two things, and these two things have one thing in common, and it is even more difficult to convert these two things into each other than to ascend to the sky.

"Forget it, let's put it aside. Ye Wu said, "Are the things for the exhibition ready?"

Gou Yu nodded and said, "Ready." ”

"Let's go. Ye Wu beckoned Ye Ling beside him to go out, and as soon as he went out, he ran into Jiang Ruyan.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Ruyan said in a slightly questioning tone.

Ye Wu did not hide it.

"We're going to visit a couple of families and invite them to the exhibition. ”

Jiang Ruyan thought for a moment.

"I'll go with you. She said and stood beside Ye Wu.

Ye Wu did not stop him, with Jiang Ruyan's identity as the county lord, it was a lot easier to invite, and a few people went out of Central, and the first stop was the Qing family.

The Qing family is a small family in Nanzhou City, and it belongs to the kind of existence that is almost the last in the family rankings, but fortunately, its family occupies a small piece of minerals, coupled with the foundation accumulated by the ancestors and some shady transactions, the Qing family's life is quite okay, Ye Wu visited the Qing family first, obviously not just inviting the head of the Qing family, but has other plans.

"Ling'er, you take my token and go in and report it. Ye Wu came to the gate of the Qingfu, he handed the token of the city lord on his waist to Ye Ling, and commanded.

"Wait, you bring mine too. Just as she was leaving, Jiang Ruyan stopped her, she took out the jade palpa from her arms, opened it, and handed over a palm-sized phoenix jade pendant.

Seeing this, Ye Ling hurriedly went up to catch the jade pendant, nodded and then went to knock on the door.

After a while, I saw the red door squeak open a small crack, and a servant's head poked out of it, and after Ye Ling said something to him, he saw that the servant was pacing away with the two tokens.

When I came back again, I saw that the door of the house suddenly opened, and the servant led a group of subordinates in two rows side by side, standing left and right, and behind him, a round ball of meat rolled towards the door in fear, yes, you read it right, it was indeed a meat ball, this person was really too fat to eat, and it really looked like a ball at first glance.

"The little people don't know that the little princess and the Lord of Ye City are here today, and they are far away, and they are far away. The man arched his hand at the two of them from a distance, and said angrily, during which the fat on his face squeezed the already small eyes into a slit.

Ye Wu also smiled slightly when he saw this, arched his hand and saluted back: "Ye happened to pass by here, and when he heard about the name of your mansion, he came to visit. ”

"Master Qing shouldn't be welcome, right?" Jiang Ruyan quipped.

"How dare you, the three of you, please, let's go to the hall and talk about it. Master Qing warmly invited.

Ye Wu nodded, and followed Master Qing into an elegant large room in the mansion, at the strong request of Master Qing, Ye Wu and Jiang Ruyan entered the upper seat, Ye Ling accompanied him, and Master Qing took his son and daughter into the guest seat.

Ye Wu looked at the brothers and sisters of the Qing family, and was curious in his heart, to say that these two brothers and sisters of the Qing family looked really strange, the man was white and pure, with long hair and fluttering, he looked very handsome, but this woman looked a little miserable, especially the large bruise on her face, Ye Wu found it hard to believe that they were actually brothers and sisters.

He took a cup of tea from the person next to him, put it to his lips, took a sip, and then exchanged a few words with the old man Qing before getting to the point.

"I don't know what my little low-class family can have to attract you, don't worry, as long as you say it, we will give it to you. Master Qing put down the tea and asked tentatively.

Ye Wu waited for the other party's words, only to see him put down the tea in his hand, and said loudly: "Since Master Qing is so refreshing, then I won't twist and pinch, I can't hide it, I came here today to talk about business with the head of the Qing family?"

"Oh, talking about business?" Old Master Qing frowned, and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized, "Is it an iron ore business?" I heard that Young Master Ye has been vigorously buying iron ore these days, let me tell you, although the iron ore occupied by my Qing family is not large, the storage is still considerable......

Ye Wu looked at the appearance of the head of the Qing family, and didn't say much, after all, making and smuggling gunpowder without permission is not a trivial matter, once discovered, the whole family will be confiscated at least all the property and the whole family will be retained, and at the worst, it will be punished by the nine clans, and it is precisely because of this that he puts the Qing family first.

"No, no, no, I'm not here to ask for iron ore today. Ye Wu said, after a few months of acquisition, he now has no shortage of iron ore.

Ye Wu put down the tea in his hand and supported the table with one hand.

"I'm here to talk to you about the black powder business. He said.

When Master Qing heard this, he was immediately shocked in his heart, and the tea that had just entered his throat was spit out, and Jiang Ruyan was also slightly surprised.

"Brother Cheng, what do you want that? That thing is a military item, and we must not touch it. She quietly leaned into Ye Wu's ear and said a little anxiously.

"I know. Ye Wu replied.

"Then you still ......" Jiang Ruyan wanted to speak and stopped.

Ye Wuze said vaguely: "Don't worry, I'm just just curious, buy some long knowledge." ”

"Okay......" Jiang Ruyan didn't say anything more when she saw this, she closed her eyes and didn't ask about it anymore.

The head of the Qing family rubbed his hands.

"City Lord, aren't you joking? We are all good citizens, how can we do this kind of business?"

"Really?" Ye Wu looked at Old Man Qing's squinted eyes.

"Really. Old Man Qing nodded like a rattle, and he looked at Ye Wu very sincerely.

Ye Wu naturally would not be fooled by his appearance, before that, he had already ordered the secret guards trained by Qiu Kui to monitor the Qing family, and his understanding of the Qing family now was even better than that of the head of the family.

"Twenty-four in, seven out, five into ......" Ye Wu reported a series of inexplicable words, and everyone present was confused.

"This ......" Old Man Qing's face changed, obviously he knew what this sentence meant, this was the money he earned from black fans, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Ye Wu's words were by no means untargeted, he threw out this sentence not for anything else, in order to tell this young man that he knew everything he had done in the past few months, but he wanted to get involved with it, so he didn't break it.

"What's the matter? Now you can consider cooperating with me?" Ye Wu looked at Master Qing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Master Qing swallowed his saliva again, he looked at Ye Wu, the smile that was originally so gentle in the eyes of others was indeed like a devil in his eyes at this moment.

"Good...... Good...... Good. "Master Qing wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said three 'good' in a row, but in the face of Ye Wu, he could only say 'good'.

"Very good!" Ye Wu nodded and smiled in a row of tables, but then he changed his words, "This price ......"

"The price is easy to say! The price is easy to say!" the old man hurriedly agreed, and he could only echo now.

"By the way, I invite Mr. Qing to participate in the exhibition the day after tomorrow, and there are many products on display, such as glass that can emit light, and equipment that can generate heat and heat...... We will introduce them to you one by one, and you will decide whether to invest or not after the exhibition is over. ”

"What is investment?" Old Man Qing looked at Ye Wu with a look of asking for advice.

"Investing means that you can pay us a sum of money upfront, and then we will pay you a percentage each month based on how much you invest. Ye Wu explained.

"Oh, hey...... You two go and see, whether it's good or not, vote. Master Qing instructed his children, perhaps because he was too emotional, and when he spoke, the fat on the two cheeks shook and shook.

"Well, it's not too early, I should go too, see you later. Ye Wu arched his hand at him, smiled very satisfied, and then strode towards the door.

Seeing this, Master Qing breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and casually pointed to his son beside him and said, "Qingyue, you go and send off City Lord Ye and the little princess." ”

"Father, my name is Qingping, I am your son, and Qingyue is beside me. Qingping was a little speechless and pointed to the woman next to him and said, then got up to see off the guest.

"Alas...... Young Master Ye is not strange, my father has a hole in his brain, please forgive me. Outside the door, Qingping said to Young Master Ye.

Ye Wuze waved his hand disappreciably and touched his chin.

"Heh, your father is not stupid, on the contrary, he is shrewd. He said.

"The day after tomorrow, the Mo family's blacksmith shop, I will wait for you. He dropped the sentence and left.

Hearing this, Qingping's body trembled slightly, but then it returned to its original state, only to see him standing outside the door with a smile, watching Ye Wu and the others leave.

After Ye Wu and the others left, he went to visit the rest of the family, but the location he said was not in the Mo family's blacksmith shop, but in an abandoned square in Central.

"Brother Makoto. After the visit, Jiang Ruyan took Ye Wu's hand, his eyes full of expectation.

"What's wrong?" Ye Wu looked at Jiang Ruyan.

"What! you forgot?" she looked at Ye Wu, a look of disappointment written on her face.

"Hey......" Ye Wu sighed, "Okay, let's go, I'll accompany you shopping, just pick whatever you like." ”

"Great!" she put her arms around Ye Wu's neck.

Ye Wulao's face flushed.

"You girl, come down!"

"Not really!"

“......”

"I'm here, Qingping, those ancestors are gone?" Old Man Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qingping coming from the door, stood up from the ground, patted his robe, and asked.

"Gone. Qingping replied respectfully.

When he heard this, he waved his sleeves and scolded: "It's good to go! Alas, it's only been a few days since the good days, and things have come again." ”

Qingping listened to his father's words, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the city lord's intention today?"

The old man drooped his somewhat blackened face, sighed and said: "What can there be, it's not to ask us to stand in line, let me tell you, I've had enough, originally our Qing family had a big fortune, it was because of your grandfather who accidentally stood in the wrong place back then, and lost his life, not to mention losing most of the family's savings." ”

Seeing that his father did not mention the bill reported by Ye Wu in the whole sentence, he was also very knowledgeable and did not ask too much.

"Then we can just refuse, why do we have to promise him?" Qingyue walked over, she wiped her face with a towel, and asked, after wiping it a little, she saw that her original face was revealed, how did it drop? The ugliness just now turned out to be deliberately made by her.

But don't say it, this Qingyue looks really good, and her voice is the same as her name, pleasant to the ear, so it's not surprising to think about this makeup, after all, a woman like her who was born in a small family and has outstanding appearance, if she doesn't protect her, she will definitely be favored by the children of other big families...... That really wronged this child, this old man has good intentions for this daughter.

"Are you stupid? If you refuse on the spot, it will anger others, even if people are not good, there is a father behind them, his father is famous for protecting his shortcomings, and he directly copied the largest family at the time, the Qin family, in order to prevent his own subordinates. The old man said to himself as if talking to himself.

"What Dad said is very true. The woman nodded, bowed her head in shame, and said no more.

After that, I saw that he was an urn and ordered his son and daughter angrily: "Let's say okay first, I just said it to him, it is estimated that he will also go to other families, you two will inquire tomorrow to see if there are other families to send people, and then you will go with them, remember, don't do anything over there, just listen to him in the crowd, by the way, the clothes should be worn darker, don't let him notice, and Yue'er, I heard that this little prince is extremely lustful, you will continue to paint ugly makeup tomorrow...... ”

The two of them heard their own father say a lot of words, so they quickly nodded and wrote them down.
