The most arrogant in history

Chapter 440: Treat me as an enemy.

"I didn't!" Xiao Ruliu was also excited and retorted:

"For so many years of war, the people of Jiangdong have suffered enough. Wives and children have been separated, and there are blood and tears. Now we live in peace, all thanks to Kunlang.

Nowadays, the people of Jiangdong can eat salt as much as they want, and every family has ironware. When they are sick, they have doctors, and when they study, they have schools. The elderly have someone to rely on, and the young are taken care of. When they see an official or general, they don't have to bow down.

Do you think the people of Jiangdong will invite you back and kneel at your feet?"

Xiao Dequan was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Xiao Ruliu added: "For three generations, our Xiao family has only ruled the people of Jiangdong, but has not benefited the people. Kunlang built roads and bridges in Jiangnan, controlled water, built docks, developed ferries, and developed agriculture and animal husbandry. The lives of the people are ten times better than before.

No matter how much you talk, it can't even be one tenth of what Kunlang has done."

Ye Kun stood up and held Xiao Ruliu's shoulders:

"Madam, don't be excited. You are pregnant, so you need to take care of yourself. There is still a long way to go, and your second brother will see it himself."

Only then did Xiao Ruliu hold back.

Tears flowed from Xiao Dequan's eyes: "I'm so useless and unpopular... Even my sister sees me as an enemy."

"Your sister doesn't see you as an enemy, she just wants to wake you up."

Ye Kun patted Xiao Dequan on the shoulder and said, "I will have a meeting in Xiangyang tomorrow, you can come as well. I will announce that you will be sent to Jiangdong. This is also what Mrs. Wu wanted. She wants to go back to retire."

Xiao Dequan was still in a daze, and after a long while he said, "Thank you."

Ye Kun nodded, left Xiao Ruliu behind, and went to take care of Jasmine and visit her parents.

Cao Jiashan is still busy in the vegetable garden.

He was the general manager and did not do any work, but he had to command his subordinates and supervise production.

"Brother Cao, I'm here to see you."

Ye Kun smiled.

"Oh, Master Ye!"

When Cao Jiashan saw Ye Kun, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Master Ye, you are back?"

"Look, the kneeling ceremony has been abolished a long time ago, why are you still doing the same old thing?"

Ye Kun helped Cao Jiashan up and complained, "We are old friends and the best of friends. If you don't support me in abolishing the kneeling ceremony, aren't you going against me? If you do this, how can I promote my decree?"

Jasmine smiled and said, "Yes, Dad, I am following Uncle Ye now. I never kneel down and Uncle Ye doesn't blame me."

Cao Jiashan rubbed his hands and laughed, "That's because Lord Ye is taking care of our whole family..."

Ye Kun waved his hand and said:

"Brother Cao, you are already old. I think you should take a rest from now on. The money that Duoduo and Moli earn is enough for you and your wife to live on in your old age. If it is not enough, I will give you a little more."

All in all, Cao Jiashan is almost fifty years old.

Cao Jiashan said: "I can still work, I can't just sit there and do nothing. There are still several people at home..."

Back in Pingye County, Ye Kun found a concubine for Cao Jiashan.

Now, Cao Jiashan has two sons, a wife and a concubine, and he is also a large family.

Jasmine said, "Dad, Uncle Ye is also concerned about you."

Ye Kun nodded and asked, "I heard that Jasmine's mother is not in good health, so I came to see her. Is she resting at home?"

"Thank you, Master Ye. Please follow me."

Cao Jiashan nodded and took Ye Kun to a small courtyard outside the vegetable garden.

Jasmine was already jumping up and down, rushing back to see her mother.

There was a woman working in front of the courtyard gate. When she saw Ye Kun, she hurriedly saluted.

Ye Kun clasped his fists and smiled, "I know you, Jasmine's stepmother."

Back then, it was Ye Kun who gave her to Cao Jiashan as a concubine.

However, Ye Kun couldn't remember her name.

The concubine of the Cao family smiled shyly: "The King of Han has a good memory, it is indeed me."

Ye Kun nodded: "Are the children okay?"

"All is well. The eldest has gone to school and can write a few words."

"That's good." Ye Kun was quite satisfied and said to Cao Jiashan:

"I haven't taken care of you for so many years. Instead, you followed me, from Guanjia Village in Pingye County to Dongba County, and then to Chengdu and Xiangyang, running back and forth. Brother Cao, choose a place to retire, and I will make the arrangements."

Cao Jiashan rubbed his hands and laughed foolishly: "It's all right, whatever."

As they were talking, Jasmine came out, supporting her mother.

It looked like Jasmine's mother was very weak, thin, and almost exhausted.

"Master Ye, I kowtow to you..."

"Mrs. Cao, you must not do this!"

Ye Kun stepped forward to support her and asked Jasmine to bring a chair over: "Mrs. Cao, I heard from Jasmine that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you. Come on, sit down and let's talk."

Mrs. Cao insisted on half-squatting before sitting down and said with a smile:

"I have lived for ten more years thanks to the care of the King of Han. Otherwise, I would have died long ago. Duoduo and Jasmine are also where they are today because of the care of the King of Han. My health is just like this, and I am very satisfied to have lived for so many more years."

"Call my accompanying doctor to come and take a look."

Ye Kun ordered his soldiers to call a doctor, and comforted Mrs. Cao: "Mrs. Cao, don't worry too much, you need to be energetic. You have enough food and drink now, and you don't have any worries. You can rest assured to recover. I will let the doctor check you, and you can live to be a hundred years old without any problems!"

Mrs. Cao was very grateful and smiled, "I don't want to live to be a hundred years old, Lord Ye. I just want to see Jasmine get married and have children. I will be satisfied. I just don't know if I can wait until that day."

Jasmine was standing aside, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Ye Kun nodded: "Jasmine is sixteen years old, it's time to consider marriage. How about this, I will find a young talent for Jasmine..."

"No, Master Ye, that's not what I meant."

Mrs. Cao held Ye Kun's hand and said sincerely:

"I originally planned to let Duoduo and Moli, the two sisters, serve Lord Ye together. But Lord Ye married Duoduo off. Now that Moli has grown up, let her follow Lord Ye for the rest of her life."

Ye Kun looked at Jasmine and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry too much, Sister Cao. I will definitely arrange Jasmine's affairs so that she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."

"Uncle Ye, please don't chase me away."

Jasmine knelt down, tears streaming down her face: "I'm not going anywhere. I'll follow Uncle for the rest of my life. If Uncle Ye wants to drive me away, you might as well kill me."

"Jasmine..."

Ye Kun felt a pain in his heart and pulled her up: "No matter what, you can discuss it with me. Why are you kneeling down again? Don't worry, I won't chase you away."

Only then did Jasmine burst into laughter and stood up to wipe her tears.

Mrs. Cao continued, "Master Ye, Jasmine follows you without asking for any status. It is our blessing to let her serve you."

"Okay, Mrs. Cao, no need to say more."

Ye Kun waved his hand and asked about Mrs. Cao's condition and what medicine she usually took.

Over the years, Ye Kun has led everyone to study medicine, frequently participated in medical conferences, supplemented their knowledge of the meridians and the five elements, and learned about the medicinal properties of many herbs. He can be considered an expert in combining Chinese and Western medicine.

Not long after, Ye Kun's accompanying doctor hurried over.

Ye Kun instructed: "First, give Sister Cao a consultation. Then take her to the hospital in Xiangyang for a full set of examinations to determine her condition and prescribe the right medicine. We must make sure Sister Cao's health is well."
