Chapter Ninety-Four: Against the Heavens
Chen Wenlin and his wife traveled all the way and lived in Xinguang City for a month. Anyway, Tianshui City has his sister Chen Wenhui to watch, which is better than watching it himself. Take advantage of this opportunity to take your newlywed wife to have more fun. It's a pity that Mei Ying doesn't have much time to play, and she is seizing the time to learn from Wan Shuhui.
It is not easy to manage a city, especially to manage a city that is different from the past, and many policies of Shin Kong City are different. Mei Ying had never even heard of these new affairs before, let alone managed them. Therefore, Mei Ying studied very hard, but she lost her mother since she was a child, she has a kind of toughness, the more difficult it is, the more she has to study hard, just like when she first learned embroidery needlework, without her mother's personal teaching, I am afraid that people will say that she is a widow and the eldest daughter has no education, and she has smeared her deceased mother's face, she overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally learned a good hand of needlework.
Now Mei Ying is like a sponge, trying to absorb all kinds of knowledge. In addition to Mei Ying's hard study, Mei Jizu's three brothers also kept visiting and studying under the leadership of Chen Wenlin, and also went to the headquarters of the Hei family, and got acquainted with the hall masters of the Hei family. In the future, these three people will be his right-hand men in managing the city, managing the city, and dealing with the black family is indispensable, so this relationship must be dealt with in advance.
In addition to these, Chen Wenlin also had to take advantage of this period of time to brainwash the children of the Mei family. They have become accustomed to the way the Great Chu City operates, and they have seen the free medical care, free schools, and so many workshops and farms in Xinguang City. There are so many maritime merchants who can't adapt to it for a while, so Chen Wenlin has to brainwash them, let them accept new affairs, and accept new thinking.
Everyone has worked hard in Xinguang City for a month, but they are all very excited, and the things they have never seen and thought about in their lives suddenly appear in front of them. Exposure to new things every day. Isn't that exciting?
But there are also people who are not happy. Chen Wenhui had long known that Chen Wenlin and his party had arrived in Xinguang City and would soon be able to reach Tianshui City, but they were delayed in Xinguang City. This can make Chen Wenhui die in a hurry. Chen Wenhui still has something to do. The construction of the three acropolis is at a critical juncture. Construction of the Quadruple City Road has already begun. There are two or three hundred thousand new victims of the Great Chu, and these people not only have to build roads, but also think about which city they will stay in in the future. Chen Wenhui also wants to leave more victims behind. If she could have half of the population, she would be able to develop Mindanao and the Spice Islands.
Thinking of the unpicked spices in the Spice Islands, Chen Wenhui was dripping blood in her heart, what a huge waste this is, this is equivalent to losing money every day, which Chen Wenhui can't bear. In the past, there was no one in her hands, she didn't have a firm foothold in Luzon, she didn't intervene in Nanyang, and she was not in a hurry, but now Qingchun City has developed very well, although it has not made money, but the framework of the city has been built. Seeing that it is about to be three years old, the agricultural tax can be levied, which is to make a profit, and after exterminating the natives in Luzon, Jian Da has trained an elite soldier.
With a stronghold, an army, and people to migrate, of course, there was never a shortage of money in hand, isn't it a crime to keep the Spice Islands there?
are all hateful Chen Wenlin, is this the second brother? I was lazy and handed over all the qiē to my sister. Chen Wenhui hated to look at the city lord's mansion that he had worked so hard to build for his second brother Chen Wenlin and his wife, it was beautiful, full of tropical atmosphere, harmoniously integrated with nature, and it occupied a large area, and in the future, Chen Wenlin would be able to share one or several courtyards for each of his ten children.
Chen Wenhui thought about it, his second brother was so unconscious, but he couldn't, he must be urged. Fortunately, every day there are merchant ships from Tianshui City to Xinguang City, so I asked those merchants to help bring the letter over, anyway, the content of the letter is too simple, only a few words: You come back soon, or my sister will be mad.
As soon as this letter arrived, Chen Wenlin couldn't help but laugh and fell. Mei Ying asked very strangely: "Is there any problem in Tianshui City that can't be handled?" Why does my sister still need someone to bring you a letter? After reading the letter, you laughed so hard, but what's the good thing? ”
Chen Wenlin couldn't stop laughing at all, couldn't open his mouth to talk to Mei Ying, and could only hand the letter to Mei Ying while laughing. Mei Ying began to think about not reading it, but she was afraid that something would happen in Tianshui City, so she hurriedly took the letter and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, half a sound, and laughed along.
It just so happened that Wan Meizhen brought her eldest daughter Shanling to talk to Mei Ying about something, and happened to see that their husband and wife were laughing. It's just that Chen Wenlin couldn't stop laughing, but Mei Ying was okay, when she saw her sister-in-law coming, she hurriedly stood up, greeted them, and asked them to sit down, while instructing the maid to make tea and bring snacks for the good spirits to eat.
Wan Meizhen sat down and asked, "What's the matter, you husband and wife are so happy?" ”
Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Today it is not the merchant ship of Tianshui City that brought the letter, it was written by my sister Wen Hui, after we read it, we all laughed non-stop, sister-in-law, you can also take a look." ”
After saying that, he handed over the letter. Wan Meizhen didn't care, she didn't think about it at all, this was a letter from her sister to her second brother, a letter about Tianshui City, can you read it. Wan Meizhen has been in the Chen family for so many years, and the one who gave birth to children has long been an authentic Chen family, originally, the relationship between Wan Meizhen and Wen Hui is good, and there is no secret between the two of them at all, so she took the letter very generously and immediately read it.
Mei Ying's heart moved. No wonder my mother-in-law has always praised my sister-in-law. It's good just that it's unpretentious. Speaking of which, I may be because of my small family, I am more delicate and thoughtful. In fact, the Chen family is a straight person, what do they say, and there is no estrangement in the family. Originally, they were all close relatives, in this family, there were no concubines, and the brothers and sisters were all born to the same mother, so naturally there were not so many rules, and there were not so many intrigues, it seems that I would have to learn more from my sister-in-law in this regard in the future.
Mei Ying thought here, Wan Meizhen couldn't laugh anymore, and said while laughing: "No wonder the second brother is smiling like this, Wen Hui, this girl, it's really weird, I can't wait for a few days." And only she can do it. ”
Speaking of which, Mei Ying remembered this sister-in-law again, although before, her sister-in-law and Wen Hui had added makeup to her, but she had never seen Wen Hui. However, since the marriage, until he became a member of the Chen family after getting married, the name Wen Hui has been mentioned from time to time.
This sister is smart, capable, wealthy, proud. It is the treasure of the whole family, the focus, the in-laws, and the husband's favorite person. Now it seems that he is still a lovely person who can write such a funny letter.
Mei Ying said: "It may be that Wen Hui is working too hard, one person has to manage the roads in the four cities, Qingchun City, and Tianshui City, and I have long been looking forward to us going back so that she can share a little burden." Speaking of which, it was not good for us to be my brother and sister-in-law, not only did we not worry about her, but let her worry about us. ”
Chen Wenlin had already controlled himself when Wan Meizhen entered the house, after all, it was not good to be presumptuous in front of his sister-in-law. At this moment, he said: "Don't worry, don't say it's two cities, even if Wen Hui manages ten cities, she won't be tired." Moreover, she must be better than us in managing Tianshui City. Even if the sister-in-law is here, I also want to say, don't look at the sister-in-law's management of Xinguang City is very good, if Wen Hui is in charge, it must be better than now. Let's be lazy if we can. It should be for the people of Tianshui City. ”
Oh my God, is there such an older brother? It's a genius to be lazy and give the work to my sister to do, and to be able to rise to the height of being for the people.
Wan Meizhen looked at Mei Ying's wide eyes and said with a smile, "What Wenlin said is very right. Wen Hui is a talent. You've been studying with me for a while, and you're tired, aren't you? You know, where would I have managed the city in the first place? Although I helped my grandfather manage a small shop when I was in my mother's house. But, you know, what a huge difference there is between running a bullion shop and managing a city. These are all things that Wen Hui taught me little by little. Many of the city's fresh ideas were come up with by Wen Hui. She's smart. It's just too smart, very lazy, and can throw it to others. You live slowly, let her be busy a little more, she will definitely take care of your Tianshui City better than you take care of yourself. Also, she has built all the frameworks of your Tianshui City, and the people and property are all smooth, so you can manage it when you go back. At the beginning, if Xinguang City hadn't been smoothed out by her, where would I have been able to manage it? ”
Mei Ying was really shocked, it turned out that the capable sister-in-law also learned from the sister-in-law. So how rebellious this sister-in-law must be.
Chen Wenlin said: "By the way, my sister-in-law is right, that's what I think." I didn't even build the City Lord's Mansion before. Didn't you go to Qingchun City to see, that city is managed by Wen Hui and called a good, like a big garden, beautiful, the officials perform their duties, full responsibilities are clear, and the efficiency is particularly high. The officials in my city can't keep up, of course, it's still better than Tongren City. So, I took this opportunity to ask Wen Hui to help me manage it, thinking about it, in the past six months, Wen Hui should have built our city lord's mansion, and the officials have all been smoothed, let's go back and do it according to the regulations she set. It's a lot of effort. So, I'd rather she go crazy than go back a few days later. ”
Mei Ying's eyes widened: "Our city lord's mansion, you also ask your sister to build it for you?" ”
This Wan Meizhen really didn't know, and asked at this moment: "Are you really like this?" A sister builds a house for her brother and marries a daughter-in-law? ”
Chen Wenlin said: "Of course. ”
Wan Meizhen's Mei Ying stroked her forehead at the same time. (To be continued......)
