Volume 1, Chapter 290: I am not a saint, weigh the pros and cons!
Chu Yiyi did not refuse but accepted it gladly. The Chu family was willing to pay any price as long as her brother could be saved.
He quickly stood up and thanked Ye Tingmu.
"Thank you, my Lord."
Ye Tingmu waved his hand nonchalantly.
"This is just a transaction. There is no need for Miss Chu to thank you."
Although Ye Tingmu said this, it seemed to be the case.
But Chu Yiyi knew that Ye Tingmu was not short of this little money.
She knew very well the family background of his apprentice Wan Jin, and they were going to compete in financial strength.
I'm afraid even ten Chu families wouldn't be enough.
How could he be short of money?
The bigger reason why he agreed was because he had helped in Shangyunju.
A swordsman honors his promise. Although the marquis in front of him was a scholar before, he is also a swordsman.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries again.
However, it was already late at night, and Ye Tingmu did not keep Chu Yiyi any longer.
The two said goodbye and Chu Yiyi headed out of the mansion.
Ye Tingmu looked at her receding back and couldn't help shaking his head.
Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to repay is the debt of favor.
But what you owe must always be repaid.
He is not a saint and is not that reserved.
In fact, among the four of them, as long as the leader Chao Ping died, the effect he wanted would be achieved.
Of course, there is another reason why he killed Chao Ping. Lin An once found out that Chao Ping's father, King Wu, had set an ambush at the exit of Shuiyunjian.
Although he ran away in the end, he was there after all.
Isn't this clearly a fight with me?
When facing an enemy, it is natural to take advantage of the situation, make a big deal out of it, and then use the excuse to whip the other side.
This is what Ye Tingmu likes to do the most.
As for the other three, it’s up to you.
Time passed day by day, and several days had passed in the blink of an eye.
The South City also began to prosper.
At this time, there was no longer a beggar to be seen on South City Avenue.
Because a building complex is being built on the riverside land in the south city.
Ye Tingmu issued a notice.
All beggars in the south city can come here to work.
Food and accommodation are provided.
If you do a good job, you can get paid.
Of course, among these people, there are bound to be some dishonest ones.
There are also those who don't want to go.
But they were all completely subdued by Ye Tingmu.
Ye Tingmu will have anyone who is unwilling to change the status quo through his own efforts thrown out of South City.
You are never allowed to come back as a beggar again.
The first time was an expulsion, the second time was a broken leg.
The third time, it was chopped off.
In Ye Tingmu's opinion, it is a crime for poor people to be lazy and eat too much.
With this operation, there is naturally no beggar to be seen.
For those who are old, physically disabled, or too young, food and accommodation are all free.
Just so arrogant.
In Ye Tingmu's words, if you have money, you can build whatever you want.
In just a few days, nearly 100,000 children, not counting the elders, had gathered here.
In addition to those in South City, homeless children from the other three cities also came over after hearing the news from somewhere.
The architectural drawings were also forced to be revised several times and could only be continuously expanded.
Ye Tingmu accepted the offer.
After all, there are now three more rich people willing to pay.
In addition to the Chu family, the Zhenbei Marquisate also paid money to buy the life of their young prince, as well as the Xiao family.
Ye Tingmu did not refuse and still accepted a very high sum of money.
The Xiao family made their fortune by dyeing cloth.
Ye Tingmu even asked for an additional 60% of the Xiao family's annual profits to be used for the annual expenses of the orphanage.
The head of the Xiao family had no choice but to compromise with Ye Tingmu in order to preserve his bloodline.
As for Chao Qian, Ye Tingmu also understood that if he really went too far, he was afraid that the five elders of the temple would have opinions.
It can be considered as a favor.
In the world of high-level martial arts, the strong prey on the weak.
Although he said that, the reality is reality.
To achieve this goal, you need enough support.
As Wu Yanwang said, success cannot be achieved overnight.
Both open and secret strategies should be used.
Use gentlemen and also use villains.
Of course, these two people still have to work on this construction site.
Accept another punishment.
Look, aren’t the three of them doing it?
Ye Tingmu took a quick look and found that among these children, the youngest was only 3 or 4 years old, and the oldest was only 13 years old.
Those who are older will help the workers with their work.
And no wages are required.
Because Wan Jin told them that this was the new home built for them by Ye Tingmu and Shu Jianhou.
Although they are still young, they know the meaning of home.
That's what they dream of having.
On this day, in the Nancheng government office, Ye Tingmu finished the things in his hands as usual, and then stretched.
"Lin An, come here for a moment."
Lin An also put down the pen in his hand.
"What's the matter, my lord?"
Ye Tingmu looked at the sun outside and said, "It's still early today, so you don't have to work any more. Let's go see how Wan Jin is doing."
"Yeah, I'll have someone prepare the car."
Looking at Lin An's departing back, Ye Tingmu sniffed angrily.
Lin An is good in every way except that he is too bookish and is always respectful wherever he goes.
When being with him, Ye Tingmu always felt strange and not very good.
Ye Tingmu and Lin An came to the site of the construction.
Ahead is a vast lake, with summer breeze blowing from time to time, bringing with it a heavy dose of humidity.
This was specially selected by Wanjin.
In his words, the feng shui of this place is excellent.
Why? Because there is wind and water, so the feng shui is naturally excellent.
Ye Tingmu was very satisfied with this.
At least Wanjin is a quick learner.
He had only said it once when he understood the true meaning of it.
The sun was still very bright at this time.
Chu Ze and the other two, who were originally slacking off, saw Ye Tingmu's carriage coming.
He was so scared that he rolled and crawled, then quickly picked up the bricks on the ground and started working.
Ye Tingmu also saw the three people, but did not recognize them.
He also said to Lin An beside him: "These guys are good, they work very hard and have a bright future."
This can’t be blamed on Ye Tingmu.
In fact, the original three were all delicate and tender, and they were also elegant gentlemen.
After working for a few days, it has been tanned black by the scorching sun.
He was covered in dust and looked grey and dirty, no longer having the demeanor of one of the Four Young Masters of South City in the past.
Not to mention that Ye Tingmu didn't recognize them, even if their parents came, it would be difficult for them to recognize them.
Only after Ye Tingmu left did the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.
Such a heavy burden.
Water was dripping from Chu Ze's crotch.
"Chu Ze, why did you pee?"
"Woo, woo, stop talking. I get scared when I see him."
"I'm scared too. Look at my legs. They're still shaking."
Ye Tingmu was wearing black Tianhou clothing today.
It looks particularly tall and straight, and even more domineering.
The hair is tied up and hung high.
Full of chivalrous spirit.
The lightning on its back shone with a dark and cold light under the sunlight.
Extraordinarily cold and chilling.
When people saw him coming, they stopped what they were doing and gave him the highest courtesy.
Kneel down to greet.
He even shouted the title of Shujian Hou.
Ye Tingmu also always had a gentle smile on his face.
Greeted everyone.
"Everyone, get up. No need to be so polite. No need to be so polite."
This kind of satisfaction is just too great.
At this time, Wan Jin also ran over from not far away.
"Master, why are you here?"
"Come by and see how it's going."
"You still don't trust me to do things."
Looking at Wan Jin's smug face, Ye Tingmu just smiled awkwardly.
He really wanted to tell him that it was because he asked you to be responsible that he was worried and came to check on him.
But this child has performed well. He has been running back and forth between the school and the construction site these days.
Look, he looks thinner.
It really is thoughtful.
He patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, go ahead."
Then he asked, "What time does dinner start?"
Wan Jin said: "Soon."
"Then I'll eat here tonight."
"Well, I'll ask someone to prepare a few more dishes."
Ye Tingmu waved his hand and refused: "No, I will eat whatever they eat."
