The most arrogant in history

Chapter 245: Apologize.

Zhuge Feng nodded and asked, "Then shall we take Madam Baochan with us?"

"Without."

Ye Kun did not hesitate.

Zhuge Feng smiled slightly, went to find Tan Bamao and Jiang Youbao, and asked them to prepare.

Ye Kun returned to the inner hall to accompany Jiang Yourong.

The Chengdu prefectural government was very large and had many manors.

Xie Baochan was also tactful and cleaned up Chunhui Garden early and arranged for Ye Kun's mother, Jiang Yourong and others to live there.

At this moment, Jiang Yourong was taking care of the child while chatting with her mother-in-law.

Ye Kun greeted his mother and said to Jiang Yourong:

"Madam, Chengdu is very big. I will take you out for a walk tomorrow to see the prosperity and local customs of Chengdu."

"Husband, aren't you busy tomorrow?" Jiang Yourong asked with a smile.

"Not busy." Ye Kun smiled.

"Tomorrow we will go out for a walk. As the wife of the governor of Yizhou, you should also show yourself and let the people of Chengdu know you. There are also some widows and orphans. You should also comfort them and give them some food and money."

Jiang Yourong was kind and simple, and said with a smile: "I am not good at this kind of thing either, let Baochan go, she is a local."

"How can that be possible? You are the eldest lady, and no one can replace you."

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. I don't understand anyway, so I'll listen to you." Jiang Yourong finally nodded.

Ye Kun stayed in Chunhui Garden, accompanying his mother and Jiang Yourong, and trying to make his son happy.

The next day, we had breakfast.

Ye Kun and Jiang Yourong set out with a dozen carriages to tour the city of Chengdu.

Tan Bamao and Jiang Youbao each led 200 soldiers to protect them from the front and back. There were also the assassins trained by Ye Kun, who wore ordinary clothes and blended into the crowd to protect them secretly.

Jiang Yourong appeared in a gorgeous dress and looked radiant.

People passing by on the street stopped and looked.

Jiang Yourong asked Tan Bamao to take out food, fruits, copper coins and small change and distribute them to the beggars on the roadside and the poor people in ragged clothes.

While distributing gifts, Tan Bamao shouted at the top of his voice:

"Madam Governor, it's time to give out gifts and money to everyone... Don't push, there's everything!"

The poor were delighted and grateful when they received the money and property. They bowed and thanked him: "Madam, you are a good person. I hope you will live a long life!"

Jiang Yourong smiled and nodded at everyone:

"My fellow villagers, if you have time, please visit Chunhui Garden in the prefectural government, bring me some fresh fruits and vegetables, and chat with me, just like relatives. It would be better if we visit each other often."

The villagers all shouted, "Madam, what vegetables and fruits do you like to eat? We will send them to you!"

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Anything is fine. I think Chengdu is a good place with everything."

The four hundred lü in Chengdu refer to four hundred residential communities.

Ye Kun selected several communities and took Jiang Yourong to visit the widowed, lonely, elderly, sick, disabled and pregnant women.

For those who have difficulties in life, give them money, rice and gifts.

At noon, Ye Kun booked a few more taverns, sent in wine and food, and invited a group of neighborhood elders and village heads to hold a buffet in the alleys, inviting everyone to eat and chat about family matters, and asking about any difficulties in life.

Anything that can be solved will be solved on the spot.

If the problem cannot be solved, it will be recorded and solved within a time limit.

Continue visiting and giving money in the afternoon.

At the end of the day, a total of more than two thousand taels of silver were spent like water.

The city of Chengdu was shaken.

The neighbors all praised the beauty, virtue, dignity and kindness of the wife of the prefect.

It was not until dusk that Ye Kun brought Jiang Yourong back to Chunhui Garden.

Jiang Yourong was very tired, but also very happy: "Chengdu is so big. I used to think that Dongba City was the biggest."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Luoyang and Chang'an have been devastated by the war. In the current Dading Kingdom, Chengdu is probably the largest and most prosperous. The population of the city is more than all the people in Dongba County combined."

Jiang Yourong nodded and exclaimed: "I see that all the rich people are here. There are tall buildings everywhere. There are also countless city gates, countless streets... and many people are wearing beautiful silk clothes. In the past, in Caomiao Village, only Zhou Taigong could afford to wear silk."

Ye Kun nodded: "Shu brocade is famous all over the world. Look at the merchant ships on the river outside the city. Many of them come from Dongwu thousands of miles away. Now that we have porcelain, sesame oil and tea, there are more merchants coming and going."

The great poet Du Fu of later generations wrote a poem: The window contains the eternal snow on the Western Hills, and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu that have traveled thousands of miles. This poem is about Chengdu.

In Chengdu, you can see the snow-capped mountains to the west.

After dinner, Xie Baochan came to see me.

Jiang Yourong took Xie Baochan's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Baochan, your Chengdu city is so big and lively..."

"Madam, you are wrong. It is our Chengdu City." Ye Kun corrected Jiang Yourong and said:

"Madam, you have been touring Chengdu and visiting the neighborhoods today. It is really tiring. Go to bed early. We will visit other neighborhoods and streets when we have time. You are the eldest lady, so I have to trouble you with these things."

Upon hearing this, Xie Baochan forced a smile, chatted for a few words, and then stood up to say goodbye.

The next day, Ye Kun announced that Zhuge Feng would preside over the meeting, and he would stay at home and do scientific research with Lao He.

Before lunch, Xie Tong, Han Chun, and officials at all levels came to ask for a meeting.

These guys knew that Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong to visit Chengdu yesterday, and finally they couldn't pretend anymore.

Ye Kun pretended to be confused and asked, "What is the matter with you, gentlemen?"

Han Chun smiled and said, "The old lady and the first lady are here, and we should pay them a visit. The adults have discussed it and decided that tomorrow is an auspicious day, so we should arrange for the family members to come and pay a visit to the old lady and the first lady..."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "My wife, Jiang, is from a small place. I'm afraid she has never seen the world and may make you laugh at her."

Xie Tong bowed and said, "Madam is Madam, extremely honorable, who dares to laugh at her?"

"Well, I'll ask Madam what she thinks. Wait for a moment."

Ye Kun deliberately left Xie Tong and the others alone, returned to the inner hall to drink tea, and talked about this matter with Jiang Yourong.

After a while, Ye Kun came out and said, "Madam said that she will be waiting for the families of all the adults after breakfast tomorrow."

Xie Tong breathed a sigh of relief and led everyone to retreat.

After lunch, Guan Yafu reported that the supply of sesame oil could not keep up and he had received advance payments from merchants but was unable to cash them.

The oil press workshop in Dongba County has sufficient productivity, but the supply of raw materials is insufficient and there is not much rapeseed left.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "This is easy to solve. Early soybeans are already on the market. You can buy a large amount and use them to press oil. Regarding the technical aspects, I will communicate with the person in charge of the oil mill. As for the fruits of peaches, plums, apricots, and hazelnuts, you can also buy them and use them to press oil."

Soybean is one of the three major oil crops in the world, so there is no problem in extracting oil from it.

Anyway, the selling price is very high, so it’s a sure profit.

Sunflower seeds can actually be used to produce oil, but unfortunately they are not available in the Dading Kingdom yet. It is said that they originated in America.

Hazelnut is mountain chestnut, the kernel has a very high oil content, but its production is limited and it is difficult to supply in large quantities.

After breakfast the next day, the family members of Han Chun, Xie Tong and others came to visit Ye Kun's mother and Jiang Yourong.

A total of more than thirty noble ladies entered Chunhui Garden in a mighty procession.

Unexpectedly, a group of civilian women came to the door, bringing fruits, vegetables and special snacks, to thank Jiang Yourong for the gift yesterday.

Ordinary people don’t have much good stuff, just some fresh fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps.

Jiang Yourong left the noble ladies aside and received the common women first.

Fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps were all bought at high prices, and some small gifts were given to everyone.

An hour later, Jiang Yourong summoned those noble ladies.

When the noble ladies saw Jiang Yourong, they all bowed and presented their gift lists.

Jiang Yourong returned the greeting and said with a smile:

"My mother-in-law has an eye disease and cannot see. She is afraid of neglecting the ladies, so she asked me to entertain the guests. I will convey your greetings to the old lady. Everyone, please feel free to sit down, have a cup of tea and chat."

Having been the wife of a county magistrate and a county governor for more than a year, Jiang Yourong can now be considered a person who has seen the world.

The noble ladies then sat down and began to fawn on Jiang Yourong, acting servile and fawning.

Dai Xi took out the gifts that had been prepared long ago and gave them to everyone.

It is a set of exquisite teapot and teacups.

On the other side, Xie Baochan came to see Ye Kun, knelt down as soon as they met, and said with tears in his eyes:

"My dear husband, my father and his men were rude and neglected my mother-in-law and Sister Yourong. I am here to apologize. From now on, I will ask my mother to come and pay respect to my mother-in-law on the first and fifteenth day of every month..."
