Chapter 15 Jiangling Collar

Looking at the familiar and strange name on the sender's column, Ye Liu was very surprised. After writing a few reply letters, he immediately left Tyuming City and rode his little white horse and galloped south.

Godeng cheng, Ye Liu didn't expect to return to the city so soon. When he saw the group of familiar figures at the agreed place, Ye Liu immediately went up and gave the big hugs to the people one by one.

After making out with the visitors, Ye Liu, who had met again after a long separation, came to the famous Tianhe Hotel with these old friends from his hometown.

"Uncle Leng, how did you find me?"

Everyone sat down, and Ye Liu asked this question.

"Shara heard from the master say that your address is in the imperial capital. We sent someone to find it but we didn't find it. Later, we knew that you came to Tianfu College, but we didn't have a permit to find you in the North District. Later, Xiaowen said that we might find you in the origin, so we had to try it. Originally, we haven't replied to reply after sending the message. We I thought the young master was not here, and then I waited for your reply to get in touch.

Ye Liu naturally knew why he didn't reply to the message immediately. At that time, he was sunk by a kiss from a star and moon, not to mention the pigeon flying around him. Even if a dragon flew in front of him, he probably didn't notice it.

"Young master, since you left Jiangling two years ago, the master has also disappeared, and there is no one at home who can preside over the overall situation. Recently, Sha Lao's health is getting worse and worse. This winter, Sha Lao may be..."

The owner closed the source mine. Originally, it was okay for everyone to live on the eastern cotton tree, but in the past two years, the climate has been abnormal. A large number of cotton trees have withered, and the people have become more and more difficult. Therefore, we have entrusted a few to plead with the young master to allow us to mine the source minerals again.

After saying that, under the leadership of Uncle Leng, the three young men who were sitting in the chair just now also knelt to the ground.

Ye Liu quickly stood up and wanted to help these uncles who had grown up with him, but Leng Feng and others couldn't stand it. Ye Liu had no choice but to say angrily. If he didn't get up again, he would turn his head and leave. There was no need to say anything, and the others stood up again.

"Grandpa Sha..."

Ye Liu still remembers that when he was a child, the kind old man followed him running around in the field all day long, always smiling and drying the dirt on his body and comforting the crying figure.

Speaking of 300 years ago, after the disaster, Ye Liu's ancestors also rebuilt the empire with the emperor. After the emperor established the imperial city, he was awarded the title of meritorious ministers. In addition to four generals who fought for the empire and made great contributions, Ye Xingchen, as the first civilian official, was awarded the title of hereditary Jiang. The Earl of Ling became the first owner of the Imperial Prime Minister's Office. At that time, Liancheng was just Ye Xingchen's deputy.

Unfortunately, in the fourth year of the Epoch, shortly after the assassination of the emperor, Ye Xingchen also died of illness for a long time and died young at the age of 40.

Ye Xingchen has no brothers or sisters, and the descendants of the Ye family have no intention of politics. In addition, the Ye family has been single-generation for 300 years. By the sixth generation of Ye Liu, there is only one male in each generation, which can be called an imperial miracle, but in any case, the Ye family has completely fallen, ranking among the top among the people of the empire. The son of the ten-hereditary count, after Ye Liu reached the entrance age, not only the emperor, but even the Pearl College did not send the admission notice.

This move was intentional or intentional, so that Ye Liu was admitted to Tianfu College as an ordinary imperial civilian at the moment before the start of school. Otherwise, Ye Liu, who could not get the graduation certificate of higher learning, did not even have the power to inherit the family title and territory, although Ye Liu also I have never cared about these.

But now, Ye Liu really realizes that as a lord, even a lord's heir, he is responsible for his own people before he has power.

Although he is very dissatisfied that his father doesn't care about anything and left a mess for himself, what Ye Liu has to solve now is the problem of eating for thousands of people who can continue to live by himself. He entrusts the ancestors of the Ye family to have worse management ability than Jianglingzhou, which is twice as big as Zhangye, and now he feeds. The population is worse than that of other people.

"How much money is left in the Earl's Mansion?"

Leng Feng, as the bodyguard leader of the earl's palace, was forced to take over all the management tasks of the earl's palace after the former chief manager fell ill. He still has the right to answer this question.

"Young master, there is no more."

"Ah, you don't have a penny?"

"When the source mine was still under construction, the profits were enough to maintain the normal operation of the Earl's Mansion. Now... In the past two years, everyone was planting the East Cotton Tree, but the income was not good, so the owner did not collect taxes and fees. In the past two years, the East Cotton Tree has died a lot, and it can't receive any money. Some time ago, the House of Nobles has sent a notice letter. If Jiangling does not pay the annual fee, the Earl of Jiangling's right to vote in the House of Lords and propose objections will be revoked.

Ye Liu wanted to laugh when he heard this. His father had not been to the Empire City since he remembered, and he still voted for something. I don't know how long the annual fee has been paid. What a waste.

"Young master, the owner is not here now. As long as you agree, the source mine can continue to operate. At that time, whether it is the earl's mansion or the territory, it will get better after this period of time."

Ye Liu frowned and did not answer the cold front, but looked behind him.

"Xinqi, how's your uncle now?"

Xinqi was also Ye Liu's childhood playmate.

"It's still the same, lying in **, can't move, and can't say a word. Fortunately, someone takes care of it, and the condition has not deteriorated, but the doctor said that there is no hope of cure."

"Xinqi's uncle has only worked in the mine for a year and has become a waste person. You still have to continue to dig source minerals. Don't you think about the consequences? It's not that those big mining companies don't have digging machines. Why do they hire people to mine? It's just because the source mine radiation is too large and remote control can't be used. The operation was too harmful to people, and that's why my father closed the mine. Uncle Leng, I will not agree to open the mine again anyway.

"But...

Uncle Leng, this matter is not negotiable. You let me think about it. Anyway, I will give you a reply tomorrow.

Ye Liu, who was suddenly weighed on a heavy burden, was not in the mood to continue to stay in the origin. For more than a year, it was very rare to take off the thinking connector on his head during the break. In the real world, the night outside the dormitory was already deep. The clock just turned 12 o'clock. A Jiang, who was in his upper bunk, smiled and drooled. It's about to flow to the pillow, and I don't know what I'm doing with the thinking connector.

Next to Jiang Feng, there was still a large pile of paper and pen beside his bed. This guy didn't clean up before going to bed. Jiang Feng was Zuo Jing, who locked his eyebrows even if he fell asleep. In the past two days, there was news that Sheng Jing's battle was very fierce, so Zuo Jing's face was getting darker and darker.

Hu, Ye Liu was on the balcony, looking at the stars in the sky and sighed. Jiangling used to be an important mineral base of the empire. There was no shortage of copper, iron, tin and aluminum, but for 300 years, even if Jiangling's mountains were all iron mountains, they were all hollowed out.

Although I left the territory when I was young, I still heard something about my family. Fifteen years ago, the year I was born, the last family mineral company in Jiangling announced its closure. As a result, the living standards of residents in the territory have become worse and worse, and many people have to move with their families. Move, now more than 5,000 people are not loyal to the Count of Jiangling, but there is no way. Instead of going to other territories or imperial cities to be free people who have no identity and are discriminated against and oppressed, they are at least frozen to death at home.

At this time, I finally can't stand it. Although I know that my father has always been pointless, he didn't say a word and suddenly ran away without even a responsibility at all. It's really abominable. Next time we meet, even if I can't beat him, I will teach him a good lesson.

But now is not the time to hold the former leader accountable. The current problem is how to feed more than 5,000 mouths in the territory and ask others for help? This matter is going to be spread. It is estimated that it is not only the problem of the loss of voting rights in the House of Lords, but also such a serious blaspousness is enough to hold a deliberation meeting of the House of Lords directly. The aristocratic qualification of the Count of Jiangling has been revoked. Although he has never been interested in his identity, the family tradition and the glory there have never been known. If it is broken in his own hands, it is still a little strange.

Ye Liu scratched his head, which was really a big problem.

The next day, it was still in Gordon City, but more than two days had passed in the origin. Ye Liu, who had just appeared in the hotel, was buried by a group of pigeons again.

When Leng Feng and others, who had been waiting for a long time, learned that Ye Liu was online, immediately rushed to the room.

Ye Liu, who was surrounded by this group of big men, smiled bitterly, "Uncle Leng, don't do this, I won't run away."

Leng Feng awkwardly ordered, Chen Zhu, stand back, what are you doing so close to the young master? You, Xinqi, get out of the way, I didn't see you in charge, Dongxing, you really don't have eyes, where are you standing, are you itchy?

He taught his subordinates a lesson one by one, and Leng Feng turned around and knelt down on one knee. "Young master, Leng Feng's discipline is not good. Please punish him."

Ye Liudao, everyone has been waiting for a long time. I can also understand this mood. Don't worry about it. But the cold front just didn't move, bowed his head and repeated, "Please punish the young master."

Ye Liu persuaded a few words. Seeing that it didn't work, he had to say that he would fine your salary this month. Only then did the cold front get up. However, the earl's palace can't open the pot now, and you can't get money without punishment.

To solve this problem, Ye Liu asked several people to sit down in the room and said a few ideas to improve everyone's quality of life last night.

"Jiangling has many mountains and rivers. I remember that Longtanling and Qianshi Mountain are all places with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and they are not far from the Empire City. As long as the mining road originally built is slightly expanded, it can go directly to these two scenic spots. There is also an old resort. After renovation, people can live in it, so we can develop tourism. How about this? Green and environmental protection, profits are not bad. As a service industry, men, women and children can participate. At that time, go to the Imperial Bank to lend some money and advertise, and it will immediately become popular. Well, why are your expressions so strange?

Ye Liu, who was planning the future of Jiangling with great interest, stopped asking when he saw Leng Feng and others with big eyes and small eyes.
