Chapter 18: Plan Early
The emperor was fatuous and incompetent. The Jing Dynasty seemed prosperous, but there were crises everywhere.
In a few years, the Jurchen tribe that emerged from the white mountains and black waters will rise. At that time, the Jing Dynasty may be plunged into dire straits. How can the eggs be completed when the nest is overturned!
If he stays at the bottom of the family and doesn't protect his family, he won't even be able to protect himself. He needs to make plans early.
If he could cultivate a force of his own during this period, he would not be unable to protect his family and friends in that catastrophe.
And the premise of all this is money!
Just after Yunze moved the required wood into the room, Ye Chen led Huang Shen into the small courtyard.
Seeing Huang Shen coming over, Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi, who were just about to call Yunze for dinner, suddenly changed their faces and their eyes were filled with fear.
They looked at Yunze with eyes full of pleading. The two sisters thought that Yunze wanted to push them out again.
"Yunze, you have figured it out and are ready to hand them over to me..." Huang Shen looked at Yunze with joy on his face.
Yunze only asked Ye Chen to go find Huang Shen and didn't say anything else. Huang Shen thought Yunze had figured it out, so he hurried over happily.
His words made Sister Luo Yanniang feel despair in her eyes and her heart was filled with despair.
When Yunze saw this scene, he looked at Huang Shen coldly, took out the three hundred taels he had on him, and said: "Here are the three hundred taels, here is the IOU..."
Hearing Yunze's words, the two sisters, who were filled with despair, suddenly became overjoyed and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Huang Shen's face was full of astonishment. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He looked at Yunze in disbelief.
Yesterday Yunze was penniless. He never imagined that in just one day, Yunze actually got three hundred taels. How is this possible!
"What? Are you trying to play tricks on me... Xiaochen, close the courtyard door and prepare to beat the dog..." Seeing Huang Shen didn't respond, Yunze's expression suddenly turned cold and his eyes were full of evil.
As soon as he heard that Yunze was preparing to fight, Ye Chen immediately became interested.
"Okay, brother... I just have itchy hands recently!" Ye Chen quickly closed the courtyard door and looked at Huang Shen with dangerous eyes.
That look made Huang Shen and his two servants swallow their saliva unconsciously, especially the two servants who were beaten yesterday. They still have lingering fears about Yunze.
"Don't...I'll take it...I'll take it..." Upon hearing this, Huang Shen was so frightened that he quickly took out the IOU from his body, his eyes full of fear.
Yunze at this time was completely beyond his understanding. The ferocious performance yesterday was still fresh in his memory. He did not dare to offend Yunze at this time.
Yunze took the IOU, looked at it, and after seeing that it was correct, handed over the money. He turned around and walked to Luo Yunniang and put the IOU in her hand.
"Yunniang, from now on, you don't have to worry that I will cheat you... Leave the IOU to you and destroy it yourself!" Yunze smiled slightly at Luo Yunniang.
Luo Yanniang held the IOU in her hand and looked at the content written on it, tears bursting from her banks at this moment.
Both sisters know how to read and have read many books together with Yunze. They are even a bit smarter than their predecessors.
Of course she knew the IOU was genuine.
However, she never thought that what Yunze said was actually true.
"Mr. Sir! Thank you..." She opened her mouth, but only these words came out of her mouth. Yunze wiped away the tears on Luo Yunniang's face with some distress.
What a good woman, she should not push her out, but she actually said thank you.
Feeling Yunze gently wiping the tears on her face, Luo Yunniang instinctively wanted to hide, but she still endured it, feeling an inexplicable sense of shame in her heart.
Huang Shen, who was opposite him, saw this scene and was so jealous that his eyes were about to burst into flames. He tried every means to get the woman he liked, but Yunze seemed to have figured it out.
This made him feel very unwilling, and the look he looked at Yunze was full of viciousness. He secretly swore in his heart that he must get this woman.
With a bitter snort, Huang Shen turned around and left the small courtyard with his servants.
Looking at his leaving figure, a cold glint flashed in Yunze's eyes. He was thinking about finding an opportunity to kill Huang Shen quietly.
This guy is too cruel and scheming. His previous life was miscalculated by him, and the entire Yun family fell, but it was because of this guy's contribution.
Keeping him around always makes me feel disconnected and worried that he will secretly bite me at any time.
However, Yunze gave up this idea for the time being, as it might not be appropriate to kill the opponent now.
He is not powerful yet, but the Huang family is now rich and powerful. If the Huang family finds out that he killed Huang Shen, he can escape, but what about the Luo Yanniang sisters?
To deal with this guy, you still have to find an opportunity. It is best to make the other person's death have nothing to do with you.
As soon as Huang Shen came out of the small courtyard, he looked back bitterly. His eyes were full of resentment.
"Yunze, you wait for me, I will definitely kill you. Those two women of yours can only belong to me..."
At this time, a servant next to him said: "Master, do you want the people from Hutoushan to take action..."
When Huang Shen heard this, his eyes moved. He leaned into a servant's ear and whispered: "Go and contact Hutou Mountain...you...this way...that way..."
The servant nodded and quickly walked towards the north city gate.
Huang Shen looked back at Yunze's small courtyard again, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Boy, I didn't want to kill you, you asked for it...don't blame me..."
With a cold snort, he turned around and left with the remaining servants.
Yunze didn't know that Huang Shen was plotting against him. After he and Ye Chen had a quick meal, they started making a new type of loom.
Ye Chen happened to be dragged along by him to help. Ye Ziyan was very busy recently, but she didn't care about her younger brother.
Ye Chen was uncomfortably bored. Although he didn't go gambling, he was very interested in following Yunze to make looms.
Moreover, Yunze discovered that Ye Chen was extremely talented. No matter what he was doing, once he taught him how to do it properly, it actually accelerated Yunze's work progress.
After sisters Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi finished cleaning up, they also came over to help.
Yunze didn't stop him. If he didn't let them do it, the two sisters would probably be very upset.
Yunze originally thought that they could not help much, but when he saw the two sisters moving the wood easily and with great strength, and imitating how Yunze taught Ye Chen to saw tenons and cut grooves, Yunze was a little surprised.
It’s not surprising to think that the two sisters have been accustomed to doing work since they were young and are smart. In this way, whether it is a heavy or light job, they can do it after teaching.
With the two sisters joining in, the progress is a little faster.
After noon, Yunze completed the production of the last part of the new loom.
Chapter completed!
