Chapter 158: Retraction

This is strict, the imperial concubine's complexion also changed, look at the emperor's face, and did not make a sound, this involves a major military matter, and it is no longer something that an inner palace concubine can say.

The Bai family is also very sensitive, and has seen the strong political smell in it, thinking that this is for his young daughter, he is anxious for a while, but this involves national affairs, that is, the imperial concubine has no place to speak, and she is a foreign woman, and there is no room for speech. How much Bai hopes that her husband can be by her side at this time, so that she can also say a word to her daughter, I am really worried that my daughter will not be able to handle such a thing.

The imperial concubine and the Bai family invariably set their eyes on Chen Wenhui, and their hearts were full of worry. The Chen concubine sisters and Shi Guiren were all surprised, they have been in the palace for so long, they are not the ladies who don't know the world, and they are also very sensitive to politics, they know very well what the princess means, Da Chu is not a princess who has not been named a princess with a different surname, but they are all women who have made great contributions to the society, how can Chen Wenhui, a young girl, let the emperor give such a big condition, this shows that the emperor has a lot of trust in the Chen family, and the pride in the hearts of the Chen concubine sisters has increased a lot. Shi Guiren is thinking about it in his heart, many people in the palace said that although the imperial concubine is now beautiful, although the Chen family is now favored, but the imperial concubine has no prince, and the emperor has always liked the peerless Wan Guifei, many people, the final outcome of this battle must be Wan Guifei to win, and when the time comes, people like Shi Guiren who take refuge in the imperial concubine will be unlucky. Shi Guiren was also panting in his heart, but today he heard with his own ears that the emperor attached so much importance to Chen Wenhui, the daughter of the Chen family. also said that he wanted to give the princess a title. This strengthened the confidence of Shi Guiren. It was right to follow the imperial concubine. In the end, the imperial concubine will definitely win.

These people are all thinking in their hearts, either worried or happy, Chen Wenhui is also thinking in his heart, this emperor will not say such things lightly, there must be a deep meaning. Come to think of it, it's nothing more than the emperor's inheritance that he also wants to dye the guide ocean. In fact, although Chen Wenhui regards Nanyang as his family's self-reserved field, but. I also understand in my heart that this fat is too big, and with the small strength of my own Xiao Chen family and the Hei family, I don't have such a big appetite to swallow it. Even if you pull the Chen family together, you can't swallow it. Moreover, Chen Wenhui, who has memories of her previous life, knows very well how big this world is, so Nanyang has never been her ultimate goal, as well as Oceania, North and South America, as well as Africa and Europe. I can't make an awkward mess with the emperor for this, so let's talk about it. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you have to pay the price, and the reason why the emperor ran out of the title of the princess to attract her, and the current title of rewarding the county lord, is to euphemistically show her that the emperor is a very generous person and is willing to pay the price.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui made a serious salute to the emperor, and said sternly: "The minister thanks the emperor for his grace, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Although the minister is young, he is also willing to contribute to Dachu and the emperor, and he must not pay the emperor's trust and do his best to build Nanyang. ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he keenly heard that what Chen Wenhui said this time was that "ministers" were not ordinary women who called themselves "concubines, people's daughters, slaves, concubines, etc., but used to call themselves "ministers" for their subordinates, what does this mean? This shows that this little girl has understood what he said, and is willing to belong to the emperor, and she calls herself a "minister", which shows that she went to Nanyang to open up territory for Dachu, not for the Chen family.

The emperor was very happy and said, "Chen Wenhui, you are really a smart child. Well, Imperial Concubine, I gave the title of Lord Wenhui, do you also want to prepare a congratulatory gift? In this way, Shi Guiren and Chen concubines should prepare a congratulatory gift, and each of them can do whatever they want. Go down and prepare first. ”

The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that her niece has passed the test this time, she is really a smart child. Moreover, the emperor and Chen Wenhui should be talking about conditions. It's just a pretext to ask yourself and others to prepare gifts, and you should withdraw and talk to the emperor and Chen Wenhui about confidential matters.

The imperial concubine said with a smile: "What Huangshan said is that we will go to prepare now, my aunt can't make a small move, so as not to lose the emperor's face, so let's go, Concubine Chen, you all go down and prepare, Mrs. Chen San will follow me to the treasury to choose a congratulatory gift." ”

The emperor is very satisfied, the imperial concubine is really smart, she knows the elegance when she hears the string song, and she understands his mind the most. The Bai family also understood that this was his daughter who had passed this hurdle, and the emperor was very happy, and the next step was to talk about the conditions. However, what worries her is that her daughter, at a young age, what if she doesn't know the severity and really bargains with the emperor? It's just that this kind of military affairs is that the imperial concubine doesn't even have a part to listen to, let alone herself, so she can only resign herself to fate, so she gave her daughter a look and followed the imperial concubine out.

Sister Chen Concubine also happily withdrew. Before Shi Guiren left, he glanced at Chen Wenhui deeply. Chen Wenhui always looked at the nose and nose, and the nose looked at the heart, motionless.

When everyone left, there were only a few eunuchs and emperors around the emperor in the huge hall, and she was there. However, how could Chen Wenhui, who is used to seeing big scenes, be nervous? In my previous life, as an elite white-collar worker, I had experienced all kinds of negotiations, where would I have stage fright.

The emperor looked at the little girl standing there straight, neither humble nor arrogant, strict and polite, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, the daughter of the family is blessed, and this kind of bearing is what ordinary noble daughters do not have.

After being silent for a while, the emperor said, "Chen Wenhui, you own 10% of the shares of Shanghai City. ”

Chen Wenhui didn't think that the emperor would say this matter directly. In fact, only a few people know about the Yicheng shares in Shanghai City, and this Chengcheng was given to her by the fourth prince Liu Yan. Chen Wenhui had long thought that the royal family would not be willing to let such a little girl take it for a long time, just like when she sold patents at home and got so much silver, how could she dare to swallow it alone? Didn't most of it go to the emperor and the Chen family? Now my profit is as good as the profit from selling patents. Every year, he can steadily get millions of taels of silver dividends, what a huge benefit, how can the emperor be willing? In fact, Chen Wenhui didn't want to take the profits of this Shanghai City for a long time, after all, this is too conspicuous and easy to attract jealousy, and now neither he nor his own Xiao Chen family has the ability to compete with these people in power. Moreover, Chen Wenhui doesn't need much money, in addition to the income of Shanghai City, she also has the income of Xinguang City. Xinguang City can't be completely regarded as the territory of Great Chu, so the emperor of Great Chu can't control the income of this city, so he can take it with confidence. Compared with the income of Xinguang City, the income of Shanghai City is already a bit chicken. Moreover, judging from the emperor's recovery of the Ma family's profits, Chen Wenhui knew that his profits would be recovered sooner or later. After all, compared to the Ma family, he is nothing, the emperor even squeezed down his brother's money in order to centralize power, can he be soft on her? It's better not to have such hot money, and, looking at the example of the Ma family, in fact, the emperor is a very righteous person, didn't he give the Ma family a prisoner of war in the northwest and the right to trade in the northwest as a subsidy? This profit is not lower than the income of Shanghai City. Therefore, I should have expressed my position as soon as possible, and I didn't wait for the emperor to knock him, so that I could come back with something.

These thoughts flashed in Chen Wenhui's heart, she was originally a very decisive person, therefore, after the emperor's words were finished, Chen Wenhui respectfully saluted according to etiquette, and then replied: "Enlighten the emperor." When the minister was young, he became friends with His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Because he saw that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was worried about state affairs, especially for the emptiness of the treasury of Great Chu, he said his immature opinion that he could carry out sea trade. The profits of sea trade are huge, and the minister has long known it from the book. Who knows, the king of Jin therefore told the emperor, the emperor Shengming, to build Shanghai City and carry out sea trade. Now Shanghai City has achieved such great achievements, in fact, it is all due to the emperor's wise decision, as well as the princess and his wife's hard work. The minister didn't do anything, but the king of Jin always remembered what the minister said so casually about the sea trade, and took it as the credit of the minister, in fact, the minister was ashamed. For this reason, the two percent of the shares divided by the king of Jin were not enough, and he wanted to find someone to join the shares, so he told the minister, saying that the minister had made a meritorious contribution and gave the minister a success. At that time, the minister just saw that the king of Jin did not have enough capital, and wanted to share the worries of the king of Jin, so he accepted the shares, and the minister later borrowed from the bank and invested. Fortunately, it has already returned to its roots in the past few years, and the minister has also received a huge amount of money because of this. Actually, the minister doesn't need this money, the minister is a girl, raised in the deep boudoir, where do you need money? All the food, clothing, shelter and transportation needed were provided by the minister's family, and asking for this money made the minister tremble, and he did not dare to get it alone, so he often did good deeds, thinking about enjoying the money with the people who needed it. However, even if the minister often does good deeds, because his ability is limited, the people he helps are also limited, so the minister often thinks that he should not take this dividend, but should hand it over to the treasury earlier, so that the court can take this money, better coordinate the strategy, and better contribute to the people of the world. It's just that the minister's dividend was originally in the name of the king of Jin, so he has not found a suitable opportunity to return it to the court, and now the emperor asked, the minister just officially asked the emperor, please take back the minister's dividend. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, is this really a little girl? is neither humble nor arrogant, it is really unexpected. (To be continued......)
