Chapter six hundred and fortieth it's time to shine the sword
No one would give Ye An an answer. Even if he told him, he wouldn't believe it. After all, after being used once, he would become wary, whether it was towards Lan Jizong, Chen Lin, or Li Zunxu and his wife.
Both of them, Ye An will remain vigilant.
In the evening, Ye An told Qin Mumu verbatim the truth he learned today in bed.
After she learned the ins and outs of the matter, she became speechless, pursed her lips for a long time and then just smiled bitterly: "It seems that we still underestimated others, underestimated the forces loyal to the imperial power in this world, and also underestimated the struggle for imperial power.
The intensity of it.”
Ye An sighed and said, "No one of us can believe it anymore. Even Li Zunxu and Zhao Qingyi can't believe it casually. They took advantage of me once, and there will be another time."
"But we are already tied to them in a sense. Puhui Company can no longer be separated from our two families. In the eyes of outsiders, the Li family and the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion are closely connected. You
I am no longer lonely at all!"
Ye An shrugged his shoulders, lying on the bed and looking at the beams on the roof, he whispered: "I think this may not be a bad thing. We have also taken control of the Li family. After all, even if they are tied together, Puhui Company is still ours."
In terms of operation, the Li family only gets dividends from it, and the shopkeepers involved in management are on the side of the company. Our subtle influence on these people has made them unconsciously reject the interference of the Li family, which is a good thing."
Qin Mumu looked at Ye An in surprise: "Did you prepare a backup plan when you made the bet in order to control the Li family's industry and business?!"
Ye An smiled coldly: "The Li family is aristocratic capital. They only care about profits and money, but they know nothing about business and various methods in business. I originally did not intend to embezzle their family's property, but who told Li Zunxu to take advantage of me?
After being played as a chess piece once? From now on, I won’t trust him too much. The last time I was played as a pawn, there is nothing wrong with seeing a person clearly. It also allows us to freely control Puhui Company. This is
A good deal, isn't it?"
Qin Mumu remained silent. Her relationship with Zhao Qingyi became even closer. She felt like relatives in the Li family. Now when she heard Ye An say this, she still felt a little knotty in her heart.
But at the same time, she also knew that the Li family should not deceive Ye An, let alone take advantage of him. One single trick would lose all of Ye An's trust, and there would be no chance of restoring the relationship between the two families.
"Will we continue with the five-year plan we set before?"
"Of course I have to continue. Don't worry, I won't quarrel with the Li family unless I have to. After all, Li Zunxu and Zhao Qingyi also regarded us as family members. I will talk to Cao Wei tomorrow. The Cao family is
I really hope to join Puhui Company."
Qin Mumu turned over and looked at Ye An: "Isn't it too obvious for you to do this? The Li family will definitely feel uncomfortable!"
"Hey, how can you let them know the pain without hitting them? Sometimes you have to use your sword when it's time to show it. Let others know how powerful you are, and also let them know that I, the Marquis of Yunzhong County, will fight back!"
Qin Mumu hugged Ye An gently and said in a very low voice: "We don't have many close people in this world. Senior officials Chen and Senior Lan treated me like their own descendants. What should we do?"
"They are two loyal dogs who protect the little emperor. They are right about this matter, but they should not deceive me! After all, Zhao Zhen is also my student... They make me feel stupid and run away like crazy.
I went to remonstrate with Liu E just to prevent her from getting into trouble with Zhao Zhen, but I didn’t know that someone was deliberately instigating her behind the scenes.”
As soon as Ye An finished speaking, Qin Mumu suddenly sat up from the bed and said: "No, if you say so, there has been a force secretly taking action, so they are probably the ones who attacked you in the first place!"
The girl finally understood. Ye An patted his side with a smile and said: "What's all the fuss about? I didn't expect it. I always felt that there was an invisible force secretly watching in the court. This
Being used by Li Zunxu and the others for the first time actually made me see more clearly. This is not a bad thing! Although I was used as a pawn by others, I can see the chess game clearly, which is good!"
It was still calm in the front, but behind Ye An almost squeezed out the words through his teeth. Qin Mumu knew Ye An's temper well, and patted his chest and said: "Then what should we do?"
"Wait! Wait for work! As long as the little emperor can safely take over the imperial power and govern personally, the power will definitely jump out. It's just a matter of time."
"Well, I understand. The foundation of our family is already good. Let's do what we want. We can't let others disrupt the layout and regulations with just one trick!"
"She is indeed my ice-snow and smart wife!"
"I will go to the Li family less often from now on."
"No, I still have to go, especially since I am about to offend the Li family and my wife. You have to go more often, lest people think that our personal ethics have been damaged. Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. It's different.
As long as the personal relationship remains, it doesn't count as a breakup."
Qin Mumu finally saw Ye An's methods, nodded slightly and said: "I listen to you."
"Then when will we create humans?!"
"Wait!"
……………………
The sun slowly revealed its light amidst the crowing of roosters, and the entire Zhuangzi began a day full of energy. Thanks to Qin Mumu's efforts over the past half month, Puhui Company won this year's rest and rehabilitation project.
However, both Wang Zhen and others felt that Ye An and his wife were crazy for daring to proceed with such a business that was obviously a sure loss but no profit.
You must know that this is a matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The Kaifeng government has also paid the money. If you do not do well, you will be pointed at and scolded. If you do well, you will lose money. It is simply thankless for your efforts!
But Yejiazhuang started construction with great fanfare. First, it started to build a dock for collecting river sand on the edge of the Yellow River. In fact, river sand is easy to collect. There is already sand in the Yellow River water. As long as the turbid river water is turned up by a water turning truck,
Just drain the water and leave the coarse sand to dry in the sun. The next step is to sift out the fine sand, which is river sand.
The ancients did not use sand to build houses, so almost no one mined the sand from the Yellow River. However, sand is indispensable for building roads and using cement to build houses.
While Ye An was building roads, he also planned to build uniform and beautiful houses in Zhuangzi outside Tokyo. With the increase and expansion of factories in Zhuangzi, the population was increasing, and the original buildings could no longer accommodate these people.
People.
Many people still live in thatched houses. Fortunately, this winter has been mild. However, compared to Yejiazhuang in Yangcheng County, Zhuangzi outside Tokyo is much shabbier.
In Ye An's view, the capital in his hands should be used to serve people, rather than just making money, causing injustice to the families of workers who worked hard for him, and letting children play in dilapidated and messy buildings.
The children's innocent laughter is incompatible with the dirty and messy environment around them. Even though each family has some money, the buildings together are still as unsightly as a slum!
So Ye An and Qin Mumu discussed it and simply combined the renovation of official roads with the transformation of Zhuangzi, killing two birds with one stone.
