Just when the cavalry, these terrifying heavily equipped killing machines, walked up to Ye Mingsheng and the civil and military officials on the stage, Guo Zhiping suddenly shouted:
"mighty!"
Following Guo Zhiping's order, all the cavalrymen also let out a loud roar, and then everyone stood up and raised their heads high. Under the sunlight, the swords raised by the cavalrymen reflected the breathtaking light. Cold light.
Feeling the chilly air emanating from these cavalrymen from top to bottom, Cui Shao, Yun Hanjie, and Zhao Yu all had uncertain and ugly expressions... ·
As the cavalry troops concluded their review, amidst the admiration and congratulations of the gentry, the victory parade was officially declared over. After flexing his muscles to frighten the unruly people, Ye Mingsheng also began to be gentle and took over Dongning. Ruifuxuan, the best restaurant, held a banquet for everyone to eat.
At the banquet, Ye Mingsheng had cordial conversations with celebrities from all walks of life and representatives of the squires. Under Ye Mingsheng’s firm and soft approach, each of these squires and celebrities also promised Ye Mingsheng that they would work hard with Ye Mingsheng to build A better Liaoyang, willing to devote his whole life to him, Governor Ye, and die.
Listening to the promises of these people, although Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded frequently on the surface, he disagreed in his heart. This group of people shouted the loudest slogans, but if they met the real ones, it would not work. They would work hard and die. In a really critical moment, it would be a good idea if they didn't sell you...
If you don’t see Song Wenhui, what will happen to Chen Dechang?
The banquet lasted for more than three hours. Ye Mingsheng met nearly a hundred people. It was not until the evening that Ye Mingsheng finished his work and returned to his Governor's Mansion under the escort of his personal guards. Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Ye Mingsheng Ming Sheng got two pieces of news from Qi Dechao.
The first news is that Yun Hanjie and Zhao Yu have asked to meet Ye Mingsheng again. In addition to the two of them, a close friend of the Cui family who has a good relationship with An Miaoyi has come to Dongning. I am going to hold a women's tea party and want to invite An Miaoyi to attend and express my feelings for the girl.
The second news is that the negotiation between Gu Sansi and Hu Jian is basically complete. Gu Sansi is going to report the results of the negotiation to Ye Mingsheng, so as to obtain Ye Mingsheng's approval and officially start the transaction.
Hearing this first news, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but smile. Now that these aristocratic families are so eager to come and see him, it means that the military parade he has prepared for a long time has half of its effect. ··········
As for how big the effect is, let’s see how things develop next!
Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and said:
"Tell them that I will meet them in three days. As for these three days, the Xiaoanshan shooting range is almost completed. You ask He Jingyun to accompany them to visit and let them see the scene of thirty red cannons firing together. !”
During this military parade, Ye Mingsheng originally planned to display some red cannons in order to better deter those with evil intentions. However, later taking into account the hidden plan made by Gu Sansi, in order to prevent Zhao Fuqu of Youyan from feeling threatened, As a result, more troops were mobilized from Jizhou on the eastern front to fight, so in the end Ye Mingsheng canceled the plan to display the red cannon after repeated considerations.
Although the red cannon cannot be allowed to appear openly for the sake of military confidentiality, it is also very good to let these three families secretly go to the shooting range to experience some of the earth-shaking power, so that they can become more aware of the power of the Fengwu Army. Military strength and development potential, this will help Ye Mingsheng give them a piece of cake in the next meeting.
In order to develop Liaoyang and ease social conflicts, Ye Mingsheng is ready to operate on them. However, in order to enter the border and compete in the Central Plains, Ye Mingsheng needs these three families to contribute their strength and make his backyard more stable. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng must both While suppressing, we must also win over, let them see the broad prospects for the development of the Fengwu Army, and fully mobilize their enthusiasm and subjective initiative...
Compared with thinking carefully about the first news, Ye Mingsheng didn’t think so much about the second news and directly ordered:
"Gu Sansi's matter is more important. Dechao, please postpone the things originally planned for tomorrow morning. I want to hear Gu Sansi's report tomorrow morning!"
Although there is no report from Gu Sansi, Ye Mingsheng also got some news from the discussion between Gu Sansi and Hu Jian. It seems that Hu Jian's visit this time is only about firearms technology. On the other hand, there are other civilian issues. Trade, this made Ye Mingsheng very interested.
Although Ye Mingsheng has adopted policies such as eradicating banditry and encouraging people to open up wasteland, and is preparing to implement further policies in the near future to carry out reforms to improve the people's power in Liaoyang, this reform will not happen overnight. He needs time to accumulate. Reflecting the results of the reform, Liaoyang's unoptimistic financial situation cannot be immediately improved.
If you want to change your financial situation, the best way now is to get a windfall!
Isn’t there such an old saying?
A man will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night grass!
And Hu Jian, who comes on behalf of You Yan, may bring some business opportunities to Ye Mingsheng! Therefore, Ye Mingsheng is very much looking forward to the report that Gu Sansi will give him!
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's instructions, Qi Dechao immediately went down to make arrangements. Ye Mingsheng first participated in the military parade, and later met so many people at the banquet and drank a lot of wine. At this time, he was already Exhausted, very tired.
After a simple wash, Ye Mingsheng was ready to go back to his room and get ready for bed, trying to get a good night's sleep and face the new day's work with a full spirit...
Without thinking much about it, Ye Mingsheng was just about to sleep in his bedroom. His Warlord's Mansion was big enough, so Ye Mingsheng also reserved a room next to his study as his bedroom. He usually took a nap at noon or did not sleep at night. Preparing to go to the ladies' place to rest, Ye Mingsheng took a peaceful sleep in this room.
Although Ye Mingsheng wanted to have a good sleep, things often backfired. Although for his own health, Ye Mingsheng had tried to drink as little as possible at the banquet in Ruifuxuan, but on such an occasion, he met so many people Man, Ye Mingsheng also drank several large glasses of wine without knowing it.
Although Ye Mingsheng doesn't drink much, he actually has a pretty good drinking capacity, so the wine didn't play much role at the banquet at first, but now the wine has some back-up effect, making Ye Mingsheng feel nauseous and unable to sleep. In order to make himself feel better, Ye Mingsheng inserted his fingers into his throat to induce vomiting.
Ye Mingsheng obviously felt much better after spitting out some dirt on the ground. Just when he was about to call someone in to clean it, there was a sound of footsteps outside his room... ·
Just when Ye Mingsheng was thinking about who the other party was, the footsteps came from far and near, and they were about to enter the room where Ye Mingsheng was. This also made Ye Mingsheng immediately realize who the other party was. In the entire Warlord's Mansion, There are only two people who can meet directly without asking, one is his mother Ye Cui, and the other is his first wife.
It was so late at night, and Mrs. Ye Cui had already gone to bed early, so if nothing unexpected happened, the person coming now should be An Miaoyi!
When Ye Mingsheng reacted, An Miaoyi had already walked into the room. After looking at Ye Mingsheng who was smelling of alcohol and not looking very good on the bed, as well as the filth on the ground, she immediately asked Qi Qige next to her. He ordered:
"Go get a basin of hot water and bring in a cup of hot tea."
Qiqige heard the words and nodded and followed the order. The other maids were also very discerning and took the initiative to clean the floor with brooms and dustpans. An Miaoyi came to Ye Mingsheng's side and carefully Massaging Ye Mingsheng's temples.
Enjoying An Miaoyi's service, Ye Mingsheng relaxed physically and mentally. At the same time, he was a little surprised that An Miaoyi didn't say anything. If Pei Zhixiu was here, although he would definitely take care of himself, he would definitely blame himself for not paying attention. body, to drink so much wine.
As if she saw something in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, An Miaoyi said softly:
"When I was young, before my father was injured on the battlefield, he often went out to socialize. He would often drink until he was unconscious and vomited all over his body. Every time, my mother would complain. My father would always say something about people in the world. I couldn't help myself. I didn't understand this sentence at the time, and I just thought it was my dad's excuse. But later, after my dad came home injured, I gradually understood the meaning of this sentence... ·······”
"I know Mingsheng you have your own ambitions. As your wife, I can't stop you, but I still hope you can take care of yourself."
Ye Mingsheng was slightly moved when he heard this, and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. At this time, Qiqige also brought a basin of hot water and a cup of hot tea.
After the hot tea entered Ye Mingsheng's stomach, Ye Mingsheng felt very comfortable. Immediately afterwards, An Miaoyi washed a hot towel, took off Ye Mingsheng's clothes, and wiped Ye Mingsheng's body. There was no problem with Ye Mingsheng being naked, but in An Miaoyi Next to Miaoyi, Qiqige, who had helped her, blushed when she looked at Ye Mingsheng's strong muscles. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ye Mingsheng.
Although as An Miaoyi's personal maid, Qiqige has already understood her fate, she is still a young girl after all. She is naturally extremely shy when she sees a man falling for the first time... ···········
Seeing that Qiqige, who has grassland blood, is tall and exudes wild charm, and has always been fearless, is suddenly so shy, Ye Mingsheng just thinks it is very funny. Under normal circumstances, he might take advantage of this opportunity to spend money. They were together and flying together, but now they are a little helpless.
But it doesn’t matter, Qiqige is in his backyard, that’s why the meat in his bowl can’t fly!
After wiping Ye Mingsheng's body, An Miaoyi massaged Ye Mingsheng's head as usual, trying to coax Ye Mingsheng to sleep. But at this moment, the drunkenness was almost gone and Ye Mingsheng was completely awake, but there was no Without any warning, he asked:
"What's matter?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, An Miaoyi's eyes flickered. After a moment of hesitation, she said frankly:
"The Cui family's third sister-in-law, Mrs. Dong, invited me to a tea party. The tea party was just a cover. The Cui family's purpose was to get a taste of me."
Regarding An Miaoyi's confession to him, Ye Mingsheng said nothing but nodded secretly in his heart. An Miaoyi came so late at night. It was obvious that something was going on. Before the marriage, Qi Dechao reported the news to him. Ye Mingsheng said Then I understood what was going on.
Although Ye Mingsheng could see at a glance that the so-called tea party was a cover, and he even felt that the so-called tea party was just a way for Cui Shao to test him to see if he would really let An Miaoyi attend the tea party, but Ye Mingsheng also felt a sense of comfort when he heard An Miaoyi tell him so frankly.
Although he and An Miaoyi were in a political marriage where each got what he wanted, and they had no real feelings for each other before, Ye Mingsheng was not a hypocritical person. He said he disliked marriages filled with interests, politics, and the like. I feel that when it comes, let's make peace with it. Now that it's done, it's done. People should face the reality...
Ye Mingsheng doesn't want his marriage to be too painful. He wants to manage this marriage with An Miaoyi and start a relationship with An Miaoyi from now on. Anyway, with An Miaoyi's appearance, figure, and family background, it doesn't matter. It was all because of him, Ye, who got a big deal.
Even so, if you want to build a relationship, you must trust each other and be honest with each other, otherwise it will be like classmates but different dreams!
Although Ye Mingsheng asked himself that he could not be honest with An Miaoyi, he still hoped that An Miaoyi could do this to him, and now An Miaoyi's performance did not disappoint Ye Mingsheng.
Patting An Miaoyi's little hand, Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
"It's okay, go ahead! You've been in Dongning for so long, and you've always been here in the Governor's Mansion. It's time to go out for a walk!"
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's attitude, An Miaoyi nodded and said softly:
"I know what to do!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and took An Miaoyi into his arms and hugged each other to sleep. In his opinion, Cui Shao's move was not to test his tone through An Miaoyi, but to test his own reaction. Test your attitude towards Mrs. Cui. After all, the so-called tea party excuse is not a very clever method.
Ye Mingsheng is also happy to take this opportunity to express his goodwill to the Cui family. As long as the Cui family is willing to surrender and accept his reforms, then Ye Mingsheng will naturally not reject the strongest family among the three clans in Liaoyang. With the Cui family's Not to mention helping other places, just saying that in Liaoyang is definitely getting twice the result with half the effort...
