One emperor

Chapter 87
Ye Dong was a little angry, and couldn't help but let out a cold snort, and when he heard the sound, Ye Yuanjun's voice came from the room immediately: "Who is outside!"

"Grandpa, it's me!"

Now that he was discovered, Ye Dong simply pushed the door open and went in. Seeing Uncle San and Grandpa, he greeted him with a smile: "Grandpa, Uncle San, I heard your conversation just now, but I still don't understand clearly. .”

It is normal for Ye Dong not to know. Among the three generations of Ye family disciples, only Ye Ming has formally participated in the family business. Although Ye Ling is old enough, she is a girl and will marry sooner or later, so She was not allowed to participate. As for Ye Dong, he was young and his task was to cultivate hard, so Ye Yuanjun naturally wouldn't let him worry about these things.

But now that Ye Dong asked, Ye Yuanjun felt that he really should know more, so he motioned Ye Yunteng to explain.

"Dong'er, you don't know. It seems that our Ye family is the head of the three major families, and our business is also good. But if we hadn't settled in Yifeng City three years ago, I'm afraid we would have tightened our belts to live a long time ago. It’s just our family, and the Luo Lin family is the same.”

Just as Ye Yunteng started, Ye Dong felt a little unbelievable. When he thought about it, even if the Ye family wasn't rich and powerful, but they could earn ten thousand taels of silver every year, it was considered a small savings. How could it be so... …poverty!

"Third Uncle, where did all the money we earn go?"

Ye Yunteng smiled wryly and said: "There are more than 100 people in the Ye family now. These people eat and drink, and we are practitioners, so we need more money, and the number of people is still increasing. We must We need to expand the Ye family, otherwise we won’t be able to live there, and all these will cost money.”

"Our Ye family dare not say that we are willing to do good things, but for the people of Qiuye Town, whoever has a problem, as long as they find us, we will help as much as we can. These are money. There are two commodities, salt and metal. Support, there is still some surplus every year, but now the Wang family has suddenly cut off business with us... Alas!"

Sighing heavily, Ye Yunteng closed his mouth.

It was only then that Ye Dong realized that despite the fact that the entire Ye family business was very busy, even the elder brother had to give up concentrating on cultivation and join the family business, so the cost was actually so high!

Indeed, if an aristocratic family wants to truly grow and prosper, it cannot rely on strength alone, and money is also an indispensable lifeblood!

"Then can we buy these two commodities in another place?"

Ye Yuanjun shook his head with a smile and said, "Silly boy, do you think anyone would dare to sell these two items? Any force will strictly control these two items in order to prevent the common people in their jurisdiction from rebelling."

Practitioners, especially those in the world of dust, will naturally not be afraid of the force of ordinary people. They are worried that after the rebellion, they will lose popular support and let the people flee. Therefore, any practice force will never give the people a chance to rebel and escape. Naturally, they basically treat them kindly on weekdays.

"Wang Jinqiao, the head of the Wang family, is a friend I met when I was young, and their Wang family is backed by mountains and facing the sea. They have such unique conditions, and they don't pay less tribute on weekdays, so they can sell these two things. I want to change one If you buy it somewhere, don’t say there is no connection, even if there is a connection, the cost of opening up all the joints is not a small expense.”

After speaking, both Ye Yuanjun and Ye Yunteng fell into deep thought.

As a member of the Ye family, at this juncture, Ye Dong naturally has to do something for the Ye family. Ye Dong calmly touched the six bottles of pills in his arms. If so, the Ye family should be able to support it for a while!

If it still doesn't work, I will stop cultivating for the time being and devote myself to alchemy. If the first-grade elixir is not enough, I will use the second-grade elixir, and if the second-grade elixir is not enough, I will use the third-grade elixir!
Alchemists can make money faster than any other profession!
After making up his mind, Ye Dong was ready to go to Yunyao City to sell these pills first, but at this moment Ye Yuanjun suddenly looked up at him and said, "I think there must be something we don't know about the Wang family doing this. The reason is, I don’t believe he would treat me Ye Yuanjun like this. How about it, Dong’er, you and your third uncle, take my autographed letter and go to Linhai Town where Wang’s family is located to meet Wang Jinqiao. After he reads the letter , give us an answer!"

Ye Yunteng said: "Father, I'm leaving, what about the business in Qiuye Town?"

Ye Yuanjun sighed, "Then I have to go!"

"Are you going?"

Ye Yunteng and Ye Dong blurted out almost at the same time, and then they shook their heads at the same time!

"Father, since ten years ago, you have stopped managing the family business in public, and now you want to manage it yourself. I absolutely disagree!"

"Then what should I do if I don't go? Your eldest brother and Ye Ming are in Yifeng City, and the business in Qiuye Town can't be left alone. I'm the only one going!"

In fact, if Ye Dong's father, Ye Yunfei, was present at this time, there would be no need to be so entangled. Unfortunately, Ye Yunfei's life and death are currently uncertain.

Ye Dong suddenly said: "Grandpa, I can go to Linhai Town alone. Third Uncle will continue to take care of the business in Qiuye Town. As the head of the family, you old man should sit at home. If even you go to manage the business At that time, other people will definitely know what happened to our Ye family, and people like the Lin family may come to deal with us."

Ye Yuanjun was silent again. What Ye Dong said made sense. Even the patriarch himself had to manage the business by himself. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what difficulties the Ye family encountered at a glance, and because of Ye Dong, the Ye family had just erected a point. Prestige and reputation may also be lost again.

"But, you go alone..." In the end, Ye Yuanjun was still worried about Ye Dong going out alone.

"Grandpa, didn't I come back safely when I went to Yunyao City last time? Linhai Town is just far away, and I will pay more attention on the way. It will definitely be fine."

In the end, Ye Yuanjun had no choice but to agree to Ye Dong's proposal and let him go to the Wang family in Linhai Town with his own letter.

In order not to let others know the news of Ye Dong leaving Ye's house, Ye Dong sneaked out during the night, and Ye Yuanjun watched the back of his precious grandson with a look of pride and sadness on his face.

Although Ye Dong is just 16 years old, he has already carried at least half of the entire Ye family's life on his shoulders!
