Chapter 106 - Prince!
Chapter 106: Prince!
From then on, Ye Chen began to supervise the properties left behind by the seven aristocratic families every day. Then, he would take some time each day to go to the surrounding areas of Sunset Cloud City and start setting up the great array.
Although Sunset Cloud City was protected by the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, it was unlikely that there would be any problems.
Moreover, his Eldest Senior Sister was not weak either.
With Eldest Senior Sister’s talent, in less than five years, Eldest Senior Sister would definitely be able to break through the Mahayana Realm and step into the Deva Realm.
But setting up the next array, Ye Chen also had to be at ease.
Ye Chen was like this.
Every day, he would take care of Eldest Senior Sister’s matters.
Every night, he would take care of Eldest Senior Sister.
Seven days passed very quickly.
At this time, the businesses of the seven great clans had all been taken care of by Ye Chen in an orderly manner.
Not only that, but Ye Chen had also improved the production mode of the seven great families’ industries based on his 21st century’s advanced common sense, making the production cost even lower.
It also greatly increased production efficiency.
The current production efficiency of Sunset Cloud City was ten times that of Sunset Cloud City back then.
In other words, because of Ye Chen’s reorganization, the people of Sunset Cloud City would become richer and richer.
The business was done, but it would still take some time to set up the array.
In the main hall of Sunset Cloud City.
The officers all came in front of Xu Qiuya.
Ye Chen also came.
At this time, Xu Qiuya asked softly, “Everyone, is there anything you want to report?”
At this time, the officer who reported the report stood up and immediately said, “City Lord, your junior brother said that he can take care of everything in Sunset Cloud City in seven days. Now that the seven days are up, I wonder how he is doing?”
The officer asked.
At this moment, Eldest Senior Sister glanced at Ye Chen. “Little junior brother, tell them!”
Ye Chen took a step forward and smiled. “Everyone, what you hear is false, what you see is true. Why don’t you go and take a look, and you’ll know how it is!”
The officer looked at Ye Chen and sneered, “Hmph, is that so? If you haven’t taken care of the matters of the seven great families, then you don’t have to stay in our Sunset Cloud City anymore. It’s better for you to return to your Immortal Destiny Holy Land and marry and live a good life!”
Ye Chen was not angry. He looked at the officer and said, “Then what if I take care of it?”
“What can you do in seven days?”
“If I take care of it, I will resign and not become this officer!”
Ye Chen knew that this officer was not a rebel. He also hoped for the good of Sunset Cloud City.
Since that was the case, Ye Chen did not want to make things too difficult for him.
If he was a former henchman of the Xiao family, he would have been killed by Ye Chen by now.
Ye Chen smiled. “Alright, everyone, follow me!”
Ye Chen brought his Eldest Senior Sister Xu Qiuya and the officers of the Sunset Cloud City to tour the properties he managed.
They arrived at the first house.
After the tour, everyone was extremely shocked.
They could not believe it.
With Ye Chen’s model, the production of their Sunset Cloud City’s industries would increase by several times.
No, it would increase by several tens of times!
Moreover, not only would the production increase, but the cost would also decrease by a large margin.
Take the salt industry for example.
Previously, the method of purifying salt was not efficient at all, and only those big families could afford salt.
The common people simply could not enjoy such luxury goods.
But after Ye Chen improved the method of purifying salt, the efficiency increased a lot. Ye Chen then lowered the price by a large margin, so that the entire citizens of Sunset Cloud City could eat refined salt.
However, even if the price was lowered, with the efficiency of salt production, the profits of Sunset Cloud City’s salt industry would still be dozens of times higher than before.
Seeing Ye Chen manage the various major industries of Sunset Cloud City in an orderly manner, all the officers were dumbfounded.
“Young Master Ye, you did all of this?” An officer asked in incomparable shock.
After seeing Ye Chen’s achievements, those officers all changed the way they addressed him.
From the City Lord’s little junior brother to Young Master Ye.
Ye Chen smiled without saying a word. Was this not something that was obvious?
Other than himself, who else would do such a thing?
“Young Master Ye is a great talent. Staying by the City Lord’s side will definitely allow the Sunset Cloud City to become richer and richer!”
“That’s right. Even though our Sunset Cloud City is the most remote city in the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, with Young Master Ye and the City Lord around, we’ll definitely be able to catch up to those developed cities in the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!”
“Young Master Ye is truly too amazing. With Young Master Ye’s assistance, the City Lord is truly a match made in heaven!”
At this moment, those sergeants began to flatter Ye Chen.
The face of the officer who had previously made things difficult for Ye Chen turned ashen. If he had known that Ye Chen had such capabilities, he would really not have made things difficult for Ye Chen.
At this moment, he came and knelt in front of the City Lord.
“City Lord, this subordinate doesn’t know that Young Master Ye is a great talent. He spoke arrogant words. Please punish him, City Lord!”
Xu Qiuya glanced at that officer, she said indifferently, “At that time, you also said that if my little junior brother manages these industries well, you will resign. Since that’s the case, you can resign. My Sunset Cloud City will not continue to employ you.”
After Xu Qiuya finished speaking, she did not say anything more.
The officer knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping down his back.
“City Lord, give me another chance!”
Xu Qiuya did not reply and left with everyone.
After offending his little junior brother, he would not have any more chances, nor would he have any room for reconciliation.
…
Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
After Eunuch Liu issued the imperial edict, he rushed back to Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
Within the Hidden Dragon Palace Hall.
Through the curtain.
Eunuch Liu knelt down.
“This humble subject greets Your Majesty!”
“Cough cough…” At this moment, the Emperor behind the curtain kowtowed twice, as if he was lacking in blood and Qi.
“Your Majesty!” Eunuch Liu hurriedly wanted to enter the curtain and help the Emperor up.
The Emperor waved his hand and coughed twice before asking anxiously, “Has the matter been settled?”
Eunuch Liu immediately replied, “It has been settled. The Empress’ disciple has successfully become the City Lord, and the Immortal Destiny Holy Land has also been conferred the title of City Lord. It is now under the protection of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.”
At this moment, the Emperor seemed to be very happy and coughed twice again, “Good, good…”
“Did you ask? Qingwu…is…is she well?” The Emperor asked again.
“Your Majesty, the Empress’ eldest disciple said that she is very well.” Eunuch Liu immediately replied.
“Very well? Hahaha…hearing this, I am relieved.” The Emperor said.
“Oh right, your majesty, I did some research. The Empress raised a child in the Immortal Destiny Holy Land.” Eunuch Liu said.
“What…?” The Emperor was greatly shocked and immediately asked, “You said that Qing Wu… She has my child?”
Eunuch Liu nodded. “Although only the people of the Immortal Destiny Holy Land know, the Empress does have a child.”
At this moment, the Emperor laughed loudly.
“Hahahaha…the heavens are not going to stop our Eastern Imperial Kingdom! Liu Xi, immediately head to the Immortal Destiny Holy Land again. You must bring my son back,” the Emperor immediately said.
“Then…what about the Empress?” Eunuch Liu asked.
“If she is willing, then bring her back. If she isn’t, then don’t disturb her.” The Emperor replied.
“Yes!” Liu Xi immediately accepted the order.
