Chapter 131: The Great General Ye

  The two of them chatted and laughed as they drove to where Ye Pingyu was, and when they arrived, they saw Ye Pingyu waiting there. As soon as he saw them coming, Ye Pingyu waved his hand, and the car stopped in front of him.

  Ping Yu saw him and smiled, beckoning: "Ping Yu, get on the car!"

  After glancing at Mu Mei Hui, who was driving, Ye Ping Yu smiled and got into the car. They drove all the way to a coffee shop, where the three of them jumped out of the car and walked in.

  After entering, the three people sat down. Ping Yuxue asked Ye Pingyu what he was doing in Beijing, and Ye Pingyu told her about his situation. She then learned that Ye Pingyu had become a village head and came to Beijing on business.

  Seeing Ye Pingyu so young and already becoming the village head, and thinking of doing practical things for the people as soon as he took office, made Mu Mei look at him with a new gaze. Although Ye Pingyu didn't have a good background, what he did was surprising and admirable. If this situation continues to develop, Ye Pingyu may have a bright future ahead.

  Three people chatted together, Ye Pingyu felt very happy in his heart, but he faintly felt that Ping Ruxue's attitude towards him had changed, because if she was still the same as before, she should not have brought Mu Meiying over and would have chatted with him alone for a while. However, from start to finish, Mu Meiying had been accompanying her by her side, although Mu Meiying was also very pleasing to the eye.

  After chatting for half a day, Mu Mei Hui looked a bit tired, so she urged Ping Ru Xue to leave. Seeing her appearance, Ye Ping Yu thought for a moment and then stood up to bid farewell to them. He had already met with Ping Ru Xue once before, otherwise he wouldn't have come without contacting her.

  Ping Ru looked at him gloomily, wanting to say something but not saying it out loud. When they parted ways, she only said "take care" and left with Mu Mei Hui.

  Watching Pingru Xue disappear into the distance, Ye Pingyu couldn't articulate what was on his mind, he just felt a sense of desolation. He wasn't from here and didn't belong here either, this place wasn't where he should be staying, and the people here wouldn't have a close connection with him. Only Qingyun was the place that belonged to his life.

  Yue Pingyu thought for a moment and was about to head back to Qingyun with Chang Fang when You Zhibing suddenly called, asking where he was, saying his dad wanted to see him.

  I don't know why Yì Xiūpíng wanted to see him, but Yè Píngyǔ gave an address and Yóu Zhībīng drove over to pick him up. After picking him up, he went straight to Yì Xiūpíng's residence.

  It's not the first time he came, Ye Pingyu got off the car and saw Feng Qin, that very noble and elegant woman, but in her expression, it was still possible to clearly see that kind of superior and disdainful attitude.

  Ye Pingyu greeted her and walked into the house, where he met Yi Xiuping who was waiting there. After seeing him arrive, Yi Xiuping stood up to greet him, appearing relatively enthusiastic.

  After sitting down, Yi Xiuping first asked about his grandfather's situation, and then asked him what he was doing in the capital. After Ye Pingyu finished answering, Yi Xiuping took out the bronze ancient sword that Ye Bingyi had given to him and said: "Little Ye, where did your grandfather get this bronze ancient sword from?"

  Ye Pingyu didn't expect him to ask this question, so he said: "This was passed down from my grandfather's ancestors, I don't know much about the others either. Is there something wrong with this ancient sword, Uncle Yi?"

  Yi Xiuping laughed and said: "No, I just asked, so do you know what your grandfather's generation did?"

  Ye Pingyu hadn't heard his grandfather talk about these things before, so he said: "My grandfather didn't tell me about these things, only told me that our family moved from outside to Qingyun, and I don't know the specific situation, I have to go back and ask my grandfather."

  As soon as he heard that his grandfather was an immigrant, Yi Xiuping stopped talking and smiled: "Then go back and ask your grandfather, look at the ancient sword in your grandfather's hand, there are still words on it!"

  "Are you still writing?" Ye Pingyu hadn't noticed this before. Grandfather had never let him take a good look at the sword, how did it have words on it?

  Bring it over and take a look, Ye Pingyu saw that the ancient sword processed by Yi Xiuping really had a few words engraved on it. It read: General Ye of the distant dynasty!

  As soon as he saw the words "Great General", Ye Pingyu was shocked. How could his grandfather have such an ancient sword? Was the owner of this ancient sword a general? And also surnamed Ye, were their ancestors a great general?

  Feeling more excited than ever before, Ye Pingyu was taken aback as he stared at the ancient sword in his hand. Yi Xiuping looked at him and said: "Pingyu, I told you last time not to bring this ancient sword. This is a treasured sword passed down from your ancestors, take it back to your grandfather and ask him about the specific situation. If there's anything, call me, okay?"

  "This was given to you by my grandfather, how can I take it back? When I get back, I'll ask my grandfather and clarify the situation before calling you."

  Ye Pingyu insisted on not taking it back, and seeing his insistence, Yi Xiuping could only say: "You don't take it either, the road is not safe, put it with me first, and we'll talk about it after asking for clarification."

  Seeing that Yi Xiuping was no longer willing to return it, Ye Pingyu also stopped saying anything. After a while of conversation, they asked Ye Pingyu to stay for dinner at home, but he didn't agree and bid farewell to leave.

  After leaving Yì Xiū Píng's home, Ye Ping Yu returned to the hotel. Since everything had been taken care of, he went back with Chang Fang together.

  All the way, Ye Pingyu was thinking about that ancient sword, and when he got back, he would ask his grandfather. Chang Fang didn't lean on him again all the way, but seemed to be closer to him, Ye Pingyu's character had indeed deeply moved her.

  After returning to the countryside, Ye Pingyu did not go home to ask his grandfather, but instead reported the registration of Jinhu Tribute Rice trademark to the two committees. Everyone listened and was amazed that he had indeed registered the trademark. It's not easy to do things in the capital city, and now it's been done so quickly, they can't help but admire Ye Pingyu's ability to get things done.

  After reporting this matter and registering the trademark, the next step is to standardize the order of Jinhu Gongmi, do a good job in identifying the quality of rice, and create its own brand. The phenomenon of inferior products being passed off as high-quality ones can no longer exist.

  On the one hand, contact Han Yuanqing and let them try to create a brand for Jinhu rice, see if they can open up the market. On the other hand, we also need to think of ways to establish our own rice mill, produce and package ourselves. There is a small rice mill in the village, but it does not meet the requirements for creating a brand, so we must build a large-scale rice mill, but to do this, we need capital, which is a difficult problem.

  Ye Pingyu started working on this aspect, but soon the village spread the news that he and Chang Fang went out together, and there must be an improper relationship between them.

  This kind of news has never been in short supply, from the moment he started working, he heard a lot of rumors about Yang Maojun and Cao Dafu, now that he's become the village head, he's also starting to have rumors, anyway this thing is very unreliable, let alone when it comes to his own body.

  After a few days, before Ye Pingyu was about to adjust the cadres, Zhao Yuangong started to find him to discuss the adjustment of cadres. The cadres in the countryside had not been adjusted since the two of them took office. If they didn't adjust several cadres, the work would not be able to make progress. Once an official has been in office for a long time, he will become complacent and must have new blood, so at least several cadres need to be adjusted.

  Zhao Yuangong now wants to adjust the most is the head of the finance department, this position he as a township party secretary has been eager to get his hands on, but behind Liang Jun's back is now Ye Pingyu, if Ye Pingyu disagrees, then he can't make adjustments, so he called him over to discuss this matter.

  Ye Pingyu now most wants to adjust is Yan Bengli, this person is both greedy and overbearing, has been in the position of Water Station Master for seven or eight years, it's time to move him, otherwise the work of the Water Station can't be promoted.

  So the two men had different ideas, and after Zhao Yuangong called him over, he tentatively asked Ye Pingyu which departmental positions were needed. As soon as Ye Pingyu saw that he wanted to probe his bottom line, he smiled and said: "Secretary Zhao, you are the secretary, your opinion is the main one, I have no opinion."

  Zhao Yuangong also smiled and said: "You are the village head, how can you not have your own opinion? I suggest adjusting the positions of several important departments, this is the only way to promote work, what do you think?"

  Zhao Yuangong said this, the goal is to aim at the finance department, and the finance department is of course an important department. Ye Pingyu listened to him say this, and immediately understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Secretary Zhao, since our goal is to promote work, I think the focus should be on adjusting unqualified cadres, as well as those who are old and have held their current position for too long. Only by adjusting these positions can we inject fresh blood and achieve the goal of promoting work."

  Zhao Yuangong smiled and felt that Ye Pingyu was not simple, he immediately understood his intention and also put forward his own proposal. If Liang Jun became the head of the finance department soon, if according to his words, it would definitely not be adjusted, which of course did not meet his requirements.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Yuangong smiled and said: "Ye Xiangzhang, can you clarify which positions need to be adjusted?"

  Zhao Yuangong wanted to first satisfy Ye Pingyu's demands, and then put forward his own demands. When Ye Pingyu saw his attitude, he thought that things had come to this point, and he couldn't play tricks anymore. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I think the positions of the Statistical Station, Family Planning Office, and Water Conservancy Station need to be adjusted. Firstly, they have been in office for a long time; secondly, they are relatively old; thirdly, their work is not very satisfactory. If adjustments are to be made, it's better to adjust these positions first."

  Ye Pingyu then mentioned that these positions need to be adjusted, but he didn't put the Water Conservancy Station first. His intention was still to conceal his insistence on adjusting Yan Bengli's position, so as not to let people know that he was determined to adjust Yan Bengli, which would lead to Yan Bengli secretly resenting him and causing unnecessary trouble.
