Chapter 325: Voyage
The day after the ceremony, when everyone was still immersed in the aftertaste of the ceremony, a new shop opened in the city. In fact, the Black Iron City is very prosperous, with shops opening every day and shops closing down every day. This shop is just a relatively good location, relatively large, and nothing, but the news of the opening of this shop quickly spread to every corner of Black Iron City.
Because of the confession ceremony held yesterday, when everyone was still very curious about the new owner of the Yiba Black Family on Yizhou Island, the Chen family's shop pΓΉ opened. This is enough for everyone to go to Chen's house to see the excitement and see if they can know some news about the Chen family through the shop guΓ². This is nothing, this Chen family actually invited the city lord of the black family, the hall masters, and the leaders of some big tribes, and the patriarchs of the three major families to go to the Chen family business house to cut the ribbon on the opening day.
Yes, the word that the Chen family said is called ribbon cutting. On a wide strip of festive red satin, many people were reaching out to help, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be the patriarchs of the three major families, the heads of the halls, and the leaders of the indigenous people, standing densely. In the middle of the red cloth is a red flower made of gorgeous satin, and there are two people standing next to the flower, one is the city lord of the Black Iron City, the contemporary patriarch of the Hei family, and the other is the new master of the Black family, Chen Wenjun, the city lord of Xinguang City.
At this moment, the two people were holding scissors, and they cut the silk at the same time, and then the blowing music sounded, and Chen's firm was opened.
Chen Wenjun beckoned everyone to come into the store and take a look around, and invited everyone to the restaurant that had been booked for dinner, and the rest of the residents and outsiders of Black Iron City crowded into the store. The job in the store was loudly advertised: "Because of the large number of customers, please queue up, and only 50 customers can enter at a time." Please come in one after another. Today, all goods are 20% off. β
The crowd that originally wanted to swarm in was blocked by the black iron army of the black family, and only fifty people were allowed to enter at a time. Therefore, the order of the scene is maintained very well, and a lot of goods are sold. Chen Wenhui was still a little worried, but now she nodded with satisfaction, and followed her brother to the restaurant to invite those VIPs to eat and drink.
This scene lasted for three days, and the Chen family announced the restoration of the original price. before it becomes normal.
However, the grand opening scene of Chen's Commercial Bank, and the strange goods in Chen's Commercial Bank, have always been talked about by the people of Black Iron City.
That's all for later. The next day, Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenhui came to the City Lord's Mansion in Dingchuan. As a family, they had their first meeting.
First, Ding Chuan said: "Now, our Hei family is the master of the Chen family, let's first introduce our situation, and then ask the Chen city lord to assign tasks to our Hei family." β
Chen Wenjun nodded.
Ding Chuan said: "Our Hei family was called the Mo family before Emperor Guanglie, and we were one of the hundred families of all the sons. Our ancestor was Mozi. The Mo family continued to grow during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, the First Emperor unified the six countries, burned books and pit Confucianism, eliminated hundreds of schools, and respected the Legalists alone. Everyone was hit hard, and our Mo family was forced to go underground and change its name to the Black Family. Later, we adhered to the Mohist idea of "both love and non-attack", and helped some genres. Let them integrate into our black family. Among them are soldiers, painters, musicians, farmers, miscellaneous families, doctors, and yin and yang families. Zonghengjia, Taoism, famous scholars, Confucianists, novelists, square technicians and so on. The integration of these people has led to the reform of our black family. There are now five halls and one shop, each with its own heritage. Each has its own research, but all of them are based on the Mohist idea of "both love and non-attack". After the appearance of our Hei family, the development was very good, and then Emperor Guanglie succeeded to the throne. He has made earth-shaking changes, expanding his territory and opening up the wisdom of the people. Our black family has received a lot of help from him. Of course, our black family also contributed a lot to him. Later, in his later years, his harem struggle was very cruel, and several concubines and princes who had been accompanying him to fight the world died died, which made him a little disheartened. He may think that our Hei family may not meet the descendants of the monarchs who are integrated with him in the future, so he will move to this isolated island of Yizhou with his loyal Gu family, Liang family, and Huang family. β
Although Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenhui know some of this, they are not so detailed. At this time, when I heard it, my heart was surging. Chen Wenjun is thinking about how glorious and shining the era of Emperor Guanglie was, and what a magical and great person Emperor Guanglie was. But the dynasty established by such a man did not escape its demise in the end. Even in his later years, he couldn't control the world, and he couldn't even control his harem. Come to think of it, it is exactly as my father said, it is precisely because Emperor Guanglie is too lustful and the harem is too complicated, so the court has always been turbulent, and in the end, their Ying dynasty also perished in the palace struggle and was seized of imperial power by relatives. It can be seen that this concubine is really evil.
Chen Wenhui thought, this Fusu is really capable of tossing, there are traces of him everywhere, he has been dead for a thousand years, and he has such a great impact on future generations. Moreover, people in such a modern society, after traveling to ancient times, change history, why did they become like the ancients with three wives and four concubines, okay? The fate of the stallion harem is like this, he lost a qiΔ, and I don't know if he regretted it in his later years.
Ding Chuan continued: "Our Hei family multiplied on Yizhou Island, defeated the natives, established the Black Iron City, and later, we built big ships to sail overseas. We have traveled all over Europe, Africa, Oceania, North and South America, and of course, the snow-capped Antarctica on the map left by Emperor Guanglie. For this, we have also paid a great price, so far, we are only active in the Nanyang generation, other countries such as North and South America, Africa, and the like are too far away, and we have not occupied a stronghold anywhere. But in North and South America, we brought back some local seeds, such as chili peppers, which Miss Chen loved. These peppers are thought to be produced in the Americas, so they are exceptionally spicy. β
Now Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun understand.
Ding Chuan said: "Because we have many bases overseas, we also have transactions with people somewhere, therefore, food, sugar, salt and other things, we can get them at any time, and we don't have to rely on the three major families on the island, therefore, we can not be coerced by them, but they need us, so it has become the current situation, although Yizhou Island is said to be the four major families, in fact, we are the only family." The secret of this sea trade is the biggest secret of our black family, and the people of the three major families do not know. β
In this way, Chen Wenhui understands why the Hei family can handle the three major families at will.
Ding Chuan continued: "We also have trade with people on the mainland, so we have always known about the situation in the Central Plains. β
At this moment, Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun were surprised, although they had long known that Black Iron City knew too much about the situation in the Central Plains, and there must be people who traded with them, but it was just speculation, and they couldn't believe it was true, because the strength of the Hei family on Yizhou Island was strong, and if the Central Plains family traded with them, they would inevitably use the power of the Hei family, but no, in the long history of the Central Plains, there were no footprints of the Hei family. Now that Ding Chuan personally admitted that the Hei family had a deal with the mainland, they were all surprised, and they couldn't wait to know which one this family was?
Ding Chuan smiled mysteriously and said, "This person who traded with us is a Baiyue person. β
"Ahh Everything is explained at this point. Why is there a picture of lychee on the teacup in Dingchuan Mansion, and why can the family on this continent not be discovered by others to trade with the black family on Yizhou Island.
The land of Baiyue is a mysterious place, where miasma is rampant, and people in the Central Plains are not accustomed to living there. There are a lot of ethnic groups, and the Central Plains people are collectively referred to as Baiyue. In that year, Emperor Guanglie's army went out to conquer and included that piece into the scope of the Central Plains Dynasty, but since Emperor Guanglie, the imperial court's control over the land of Baiyue has gradually weakened. Up to now, the land of Baiyue is basically autonomous and managed by local tribal leaders, but these tribal leaders respect the emperor of the Central Plains as their supreme leader, and every year they make a little sacrifice like the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, the land of Baiyue is rich in products, and Yizhou Island can communicate and trade with the land of Baiyue, so it is strange that you have to look at the eyes of anyone on Yizhou Island.
Moreover, the land of Baiyue is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it pays tribute every year, and there has always been a transaction, so it is normal to know the news of the Central Plains, no wonder the Hei family knows the information of the Central Plains so clearly when they live on Yizhou Island.
After saying this, Ding Chuan continued: "I'll talk about our black family now. First of all, the Black Knife Hall. The Black Knife Hall has two parts of power, one is the Black Iron Army. The Black Iron Army is okay to fight, because we have been sailing, so we often fight with those natives, and now the number of the Black Iron Army on Yizhou Island is not large, only more than 5,000 people, and most of them are lent out to help the three major families guard the city. We have only 2,000 troops in Black Iron City. β
Chen Wenjun frowned: "It's not too little, in this case, you dare not close the city gate at night?" β
Ding Chuan laughed and said: "Black Iron City, we have been in business for many years, there are organs in the city and outside the city, these are all made by Heigetang, if there is an enemy to attack, there is no need for many people, we will definitely be able to do it in one place." β
Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenhui understood it, remembering the deeds of Mozi, thousands of years ago, Mozi, the ancestor of the Hei family, was able to create many opportunities to defend the city and attack the city, and the way of defending the city made a generation of skilled craftsmen willing to bow down. Now that it has developed for more than a thousand years, it is naturally only stronger.
Ding Chuan continued: "In addition to the Black Iron Army, the Black Knife Hall also has an assassin department. β
