Chen Wenhui knew from her father that the fourth prince was going to come to Jiangnan as a messenger to relieve the disaster, but this news did not make her feel it, and what made her happy was that the second brother also came with her, so that she would soon see the second brother, which made her very happy.

The Bai family was the happiest, busy with everything else, mobilizing the Chen family and preparing to eat, so as to wait for his son to come back. Chen Yuanheng reminded his wife: "Madam, this time with Lin'er are King Jin Junwang and several other friends. ”

Bai Shi frowned: "The prince of the county is also coming, and we can't live in the house." ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed: "They are Qincha, so naturally they live in the official post, but they are all friends when they drink Lin'er, so they will inevitably come to our house to eat." In addition to preparing a banquet for them, we also have to prepare some daily things for them, after all, they are not outsiders, and the prince of the county is also the son-in-law of our Chen family. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I forgot about this stubble." I'm going to prepare, especially the yard where Lin'er used to live should be cleaned up well, in case they don't want to go back to the post station at night if they drink too much or something, so they live in Lin'er's place, and how many bedding and the like must be prepared. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and watched his wife busy. Chen Wenhui said: "Father, is it really strange that the emperor sent the princes out for disaster relief this time? Doesn't it mean that the son of a daughter can't sit down? ”

Chen Yuanheng pulled his daughter to the study and said sternly: "Hui'er, I was about to settle this matter with you." This time the fourth prince went out of Beijing, and your eldest aunt sent me a secret letter. The letter said that this opportunity was finally fought for the four princes in front of the emperor, so she must succeed, and asked me to help the four princes achieve results in this prince's disaster relief no matter what, and also to win over the officials in Jiangnan to support the four princes. Victory is not a defeat. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "It seems that this fourth prince is very unpopular with the emperor. Then this time is really important, if you can make achievements, you can also show your face in front of the emperor, and from then on you will begin to pay attention to the four princes, so this is the first step of the plan, and the beginning is good. Only later can it be smooth. No wonder the eldest aunt attaches so much importance to it. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

Chen Wenhui said again: "But how can you help the four princes? We only have jurisdiction over Deqing, and the areas where the four princes want to provide disaster relief are three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, including Huzhou, Suzhou, and Heyang. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I have thought of this. We are the best in Huzhou. Our Deqing Province is the best, we were the first to provide disaster relief, not only because we were prepared, the drought did not affect us, but we also rescued tens of thousands of victims. This can be counted as a political achievement for the four princes. As for other prefectures in Huzhou, there are those who are in good disaster relief, and there are corrupt officials who take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. These are as long as the four princes grasp the situation. Promote disaster relief in good condition. Suppression of those who take advantage of the opportunity to make profits. It's a credit. In this way, there must be a lot of news, this is the best thing to do in Huzhou, we have the most restaurants and ready-to-wear shops in Huzhou, and we will definitely be able to collect news for the four princes when the time comes. As for Ha Duong, there is no problem either. Although we don't have as many restaurants there as in Huzhou. However, Heyang City, the provincial capital, as well as Sheung Shui City, which is close to Deqing Mansion, and Quanshui City, we have branches there, so there is no need to ask for news. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, yes, how did you forget that the restaurant is the best place to collect information. In addition to making money, my family has opened so many restaurants in Jiangnan, and another important task is to collect information, which is what a favorable weapon. The four princes are blessed now.

Chen Yuanheng said again: "The only way is Suzhou." We don't have a branch in Suzhou. What to do? ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "I looked at your father's Da Chu Kanyu map. The provincial capital of Suzhou is the city of Suzhou, which is close to Huzhou. There is also a side by the sea, which is the most beautiful place in the world to produce the most silk and satin. I remember that the Lan family was in Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion in Suzhou, and there were several places where silk and satin were collected. In particular, there are looms in Songjiang Prefecture. ”

Chen Yuanheng patted his head and said, "Yes, how did I forget the Lan family." Half of the Lan family's business is in Suzhou. There are still houses in the provincial capital of Suzhou. There are also houses in Songjiang Castle in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are also a large number of granges, which are used to raise silkworms. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Wouldn't it be good to have news channels in the three states, as long as the fourth prince is not an incompetent person, he will definitely be able to do a good job." ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said: "I heard people in the capital say that the fourth prince is not only not an incompetent person, but also a very smart person. ”

Chen Wenhui thinks about it, the eldest aunt has been in the palace for many years, and she is scheming, she will definitely pick one with the best qualifications, or how dare she rashly take the heir.

Chen Yuanheng said: "In addition to the disaster relief, your eldest aunt also explained that she helped the four princes lay a foundation for connections in Jiangnan. ”

Chen Wenhui thought seriously for a while, and thought about the TV series she watched in her previous life, it seems that everyone who is an emperor is very suspicious, even his own son will be suspicious. seems to see the most is that in the previous life of the Qing Dynasty Kangxi, the nine kings seized the heirs, and the eight kings were the most promising, because there were too many courtiers to woo him, and the whole court praised him as a virtuous king, and he committed Kangxi's taboo and directly excluded the eight kings.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui said: "Father, can the emperor like a prince who is supported by the courtiers?" It seems that the emperor is not old today, right? Didn't there be a concubine who gave birth to a prince some time ago? ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned: "The emperor is in the prime of life, and there are still a lot of revenge, you see that he has been increasing his troops against Tiebi Pass, and he has always been thinking of attacking the nobles of the family." In fact, the current emperor is a master of Zhongxing. When he was still a prince, he didn't show his prominence, and he always acted in secret. At that time, because he was the prince of the Li family, he won the support of the Li family and finally won the crown prince. After becoming the crown prince, the first emperor was not in good health, and many things were for him to deal with. He has been to Tiebi Pass, to Jiangnan, and to all the clans of the five major families, and he is a person with extraordinary ability. Later, when he became the emperor, he couldn't leave the palace lightly. But he first used the Li family to grasp the power of the court and weakened several other major families, and later, he supported the Wang family to fight the Li family, and even put his biological mother under house arrest for this. He's a ruthless man. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, he said: "For the sake of the throne, he can even put his biological mother under house arrest, can't he attack the son who threatens his throne?" ”

Chen Yuanheng was shocked: "Yes, this point, neither I nor the concubine Niangniang thought of it." So what to do? Let the four princes keep a low profile and not make friends with ministers? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If you don't make friends with the ministers, who will support the four princes to ascend to the throne in the future?" If the ministers all support the four princes, it will attract the suspicion of the emperor. ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned and said, "It's really not easy to do." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is a question that is going to test a degree. He also has to win over his subordinates, and he must be careful not to provoke the emperor's suspicion. ”

Chen Yuanheng didn't speak, obviously this problem is not easy to solve.

Chen Wenhui had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and remembered a person who said: "Father, I think this is the beginning of the four princes, this time don't win over the courtiers, but treat them harshly, treat them fairly, rely on a lot of news, distinguish the disaster relief is done well, and promote it, so that this person must be very grateful to the four princes, this is a yang scheme, the emperor will only think that the four princes are doing things very well, and will not feel that he is trying to win over the ministers." For those who take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, they will not punish them personally, but quietly play the emperor and let the emperor punish them, so that they will not offend people, and they will make the emperor feel that his son is very obedient. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed: "I knew Hui'er would come up with a way." ”

Chen Wenhui also smiled. Although Chen Wenhui was not a politician in her previous life, she had always been the director of a large enterprise, and she still knew how to suppress and flatter. This is actually the same reason as her office in a large company.

Chen Wenhui said again: "The minister can not be wooed, but the four princes can take this opportunity to find more helpers." Visit some hermit masters more, if you can have a few more strategists by your side, it will be of great help to the future of the four princes. ”

Chen Yuanheng immediately said: "Yes, I heard that because of his bad background, the fourth prince has always had no money, no power, and no power. The third prince, the prince is surrounded by strategists, but the fourth prince has no staff, so it's not good. Now it is estimated that the money of the four princes is not lacking. Your eldest sister married him and brought a large amount of dowry. But there is still a shortage of people. I still have to think of finding a few capable staff members for the four princes. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed. Chen Yuanheng said strangely: "Hui'er, what are you laughing at?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I laughed at my father and forgot a friend of my own. ”

Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "My friend? Is there a suitable one for my friend in Gangnam? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled but did not speak. Chen Yuanheng thought for a while, and suddenly, he patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to be alone, is it the father of your friend Miss Shuyu?" Li Hanmo of Qingfeng Academy. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "It would be good if Li Hanmo could go out of the mountain, I worked with him last time I rescued the victims." He is full of knowledge, has the knowledge of the world, and the ability of a prime minister. It's that the Li family has never been out of office. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Of course, I didn't learn things for hobbies, I must want to find a place to practice, why don't I learn these?" If it weren't for the sake of his future career, he could have learned some economics and help his family, so why should he learn this? ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "It's still Hui'er who can see it through, so let's do it." I will introduce people to the four princes, and whether they can be taken for their own use depends on the means of the four princes. ”

In the new month, come on.
