"Qiu'er, do you know what you just said?"
"You... why do you have such thoughts?"
"Why can't we have such thoughts? What's lacking in our Ye Family? In these troubled times, if we want to recruit soldiers, as long as we provide the money, who can't we recruit? As for horses, our family has two ranches, and weapons can be made too. Why must we depend on others? Uncles, haven't you had enough of doing business at the mercy of others?" Ye Qiu said passionately.
"But this is outrageous, we're just merchants."
"Outrageous? Now those Vassal Kings each act independently, which of them isn't outrageous? In these chaotic times, with heroes vying in the struggle, if others can, then so can our Ye Family. Haven't the two of you already analyzed it, whether we depend on anyone, there's still a hidden danger? Why should our Ye Family spend all our wealth yet still obey others?"
