Half a Day

The money and food in Jiangnan mattered more to the Ye family than to the imperial court. Regarding the soldiers in Jiangnan, the Yuan family's words carry more weight than the imperial court. Among the officials in Jiangnan, the Yang family recommended more officials than the imperial court used. When these three sentences are put together, no emperor can sleep. When Ye Yi was eighteen years old, he only did one small thing right: he uncovered a fake Cao sign on the dock. He would not have thought at the time that behind this sign were the blood debts of four generations, the covenant of three surnames, and a secret water transportation channel that could drag the dynasty into trouble. The family is united throughout and all knives come from outside. The official system, water transportation, salt production, and firearms are written according to the Ming Dynasty system.
