Chapter 5147: Setting up a base

Bai Yuxin's meaning is very simple, that is, if the land cannot be obtained at a good price, then there will be only one dead end for Ye Wudao. Now the sixth princess does not want to have too much trouble with the fifth prince, so she obviously has some scruples.

Therefore, they did not dare to let the people sent to the Ministry of Industry cause too much trouble to the fifth prince, and even wanted to share the fifth prince's cake.

Now Ye Wudao has done this. Although it is a bit bold, it is because the Holy Emperor issued the decree. This is very meaningful. Although the fifth prince will be unhappy, at least he will not touch Ye Wudao.

Bai Yuxin followed up and said: "I will give you a communication token. Before any big event, send me a message. If you kill him first and report later, you will not offend me, but may offend His Highness, and you will be dead by then."

"Don't blame me for speaking too harshly. You didn't notify His Highness before doing this. His Highness would be very angry if the Holy Spirit's will was not conveyed to you."

Ye Wudao smiled bitterly and said: "I know some of His Highness' thoughts. Although I am loyal to His Highness, I still have to survive in order to devote myself to His Highness. This is also a last resort."

"Otherwise, if the deadline for the fortifications is coming and I fail to complete the task, it will be a dead end. It will be difficult to express my loyalty to His Highness and continue to be loyal."

Bai Yuxinpi smiled and said: "Being loyal or not is not determined by words, but depends on actual actions. You are the person recommended by His Highness and the person arranged by His Highness. Please give your Highness more consideration in everything." good."

After saying that, he stood up, threw down a summons token, and walked away.

He hadn't left for long when a servant came in to report.

"Master Inspector, the Chief Inspector of Tiancheng is here!"

The Chief Engineer is also Ye Wudao's boss, and all the Ministry of Works' fortifications in Jiuzhou Tiancheng are under his control.

As soon as the people in front of him finished reporting, a middle-aged man in red robe and official uniform broke in at a fast pace, treating the guards of Ye Wudao's mansion as if they were nothing.

Ye Wudao sighed in his heart. In the eyes of these big shots, his mansion was really useless.

The Chief Engineer of Tiancheng, although he is a fourth-rank officer, is only one level higher than him, but he is also a key position in charge. In terms of rank, he is probably a third-rank officer, and Ye Wudao cannot afford to offend him.

And this person was obviously the fifth prince. The fifth prince sent someone to negotiate with him. He didn't know whether he was threatening or trying to win over him. In short, Ye Wudao had to be careful.

Thinking about it, Ye Wudao smiled and greeted him.

"I've met Shangguan!"

The chief engineer of Tiancheng also greeted him with a smile, full of enthusiasm, and even directly grabbed Ye Wudao's hand, looking cordial.

"Inspector Ye, I finally get to meet him!"

Ye Wudao was startled and hesitated: "General Manager, I have only been in office for less than three days."

The chief engineer said with a smile: "Yes, but it is not easy to be able to do some big things in less than three days and even alert the Holy One!"

It seems to be a compliment, but actually it seems to have ulterior motives.

The chief engineer continued: "My friend, don't call me Shangguan. Just call him by his first name. We don't talk about business, it's just a personal relationship. Just call me Wu Qingyan."

"Master Wu..." Ye Wudao was about to continue, but Wu Qingyan waved his hand quickly.

"I've said it all, just call me Wu Qingyan."

"That's okay, Mr. Wu." Ye Wudao didn't care about that much, pretending not to understand, and said with a smile: "It's really an honor for me to meet Mr. Wu, but I still have a lot of things to do. If it's a matter of personal friendship, I might You have to choose a day to find time.”

After speaking, he pointed to the official documents in the room.

Wu Qingyan frowned, but his smile did not diminish at all, and said: "Let's talk about business then. I heard that the Holy One thinks that the land you are responsible for in this remote part of Tiancheng can be used to build the base of the Chamber of Commerce?"
