Bai and Hu immediately took action. Bai called the red carp and Mr. Yuan, the bookkeeper, to sort out the account books, calculate the money, and take them out. The Hu family also went to bring all the silver tickets hidden in the house, and the money of the two families was handed over to Chen Cai. Chen Cai is very busy, and there are too many things to do to build a market.

Bai Shi thought for a while, and said to Yuan Mao: "This matter is actually very easy, Mr. Yuan will work hard, I asked people to find the broker who is commonly used in our house, you take the silver ticket and go with him to buy a large amount of land, shops, and even yards around the Chengbei Market, you don't need to look at it, as long as the price is cheap and close to the market." ”

Yuan Mao was surprised: "The north of the city is very remote, and there are few people living there, and there is usually no business in those shops, what are you buying there?" ”

Bai said mysteriously: "Mr. Yuan, let's go, anyway, you can buy this silver, our family's 20,000 taels, Mrs. Hu's 20,000 taels, buy them separately, keep accounts, and get the deeds and the like ready." ”

Yuan Mao had no choice but to do so.

Here, the market has been built, but it will take some time to prosper, so Chen Yuanheng has thought of a lot of methods, such as preferential shop rents in the early stage, and finding buyers. There's a lot to do, and it's a busy day.

On this day, Chen Yuanheng was rare at home, and Chen Wenhui looked at his father? C circled, very distressed, and said to his father: "Father, you are too hard like this, in the final analysis, there are too few capable talents under your command, it would be nice to have a few more, I can help my father share his worries." ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "It's much better to run the market this time, because of the help of Lord Huang of the Grain Dao, I used to do it alone with my family." Besides, I am a small Qipin county order, where can I make people who have the ability to follow me? ”

Chen Wenhui thinks about it, but now her family is still too weak. This is not conducive to development. It's still necessary to think of a way. said to Chen Yuanheng again: "Father, now we can't recruit talents, can we cultivate talents ourselves?" ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled bitterly: "Hui'er, these are all official matters, and they can't be solved by cultivating a few capable family members." Like Chen Cai, he is capable, but he only helps me, and he can't do things alone, because the imperial court has a system of the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenhui asked: "What are the officials who can help my father?" ”

Chen Yuanheng was not impatient, but explained to his daughter carefully: "The best thing is to be a scholar, a little famous, for example, a showman, a person, so that you can be a bookkeeper in the yamen, a master, a servant, a head and so on." ”

Chen Wenhui asked again: "The secretary, the master, and the officials, how big are the officials?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "The secretary and the government have no quality, but they are people from the yamen, who take money and food, and have the power to do things. Manage the officials. The head can arrest people, urge food, and do many things. But the head belongs to the military attaché, not a show to be competent, you have to be able to do martial arts, because sometimes you have to arrest criminals. ”

Now Chen Wenhui understands that the secretary and the official are ordinary staff members and law enforcement officers, the head of the public security bureau is the director, and the master is the secretary.

After understanding this, Chen Wenhui said again: "Father, what about these people you use now?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said sullenly: "People who have the ability to take office will bring all the personnel with them, and after they take office, they will put their own people into it, and naturally there are people to do everything, where to use personal experience, just grasp the overall situation, and write some famous poems in the landscape." Where can I take office like I didn't have anything, and I can only barely use what my predecessor left behind, this is not my own person, so I have to worry about it more, so I am so tired. ”

Chen Wenhui now understood, because his father is a concubine, where will anyone follow him and help him, he is not treated well in the house, how can he be favored by whom? Chen Wenhui asked again: "What about those scholars, many of them come from poor backgrounds, where can they afford to ask someone to help them do things?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "These people are easier than those of us who came from a family, they have already become famous all over the world by the time they come out to be officials, and naturally there are many disciples, these disciples are all capable scholars, and ordinary people can't invite them." is like your Aunt Hu's father, although he is now downtrodden and has been assigned to the frontier, but there are many disciples around him, and it is estimated that he can't bear much suffering. Isn't it better than us from a family? Therefore, everything in the world is inferior, but reading is high. ”

At this moment, Chen Wenhui knew why in his previous life he saw that those famous poems and masterpieces were all from the hands of ancient high-ranking officials, and thought to himself, they were busy with government affairs, where did they have the time to chant poems. So that's what happened.

Chen Wenhui thought about it and went to his father and said: "Actually, even if my father is busy now, it's nothing, after all, this Ancheng is so small and there are not many affairs, but if he becomes a prefect in the future, he will become a bigger official, so my father still has to pay attention to the people around him, and start cultivating some talents now, such as the local talents in Ancheng, and the government officials also have a way, you can find the local martial arts hall in Ancheng, and my father will train some good players by himself, and it will naturally be easy in the future." By the way, my father also said that Mr. Yuan in our house is very good, my father can encourage him to take the exam, and then let him be the master of money and grain for you, he is grateful for his father's kindness, and he will naturally work hard for his father. ”

Chen Yuanheng was reminded all of a sudden, and he pondered for a long time. Bai continued: "I think Hui'er is right. Didn't the old man have a reputation in Shilin because of the chrysanthemum poems in the previous paragraph? Now because of Sister Hu's affairs, the master has a lot of good reputation all of a sudden, the master observes carefully, finds out the capable and loyal, promotes, or gives a talent to the fame, or hires him as a secretary, master or something, doesn't the master cultivate his own people? There is also Master Wu, the fist and foot master of Jun'er and Lin'er in our house, who has traveled from south to north and knows many martial arts masters, so he can recommend a young and capable person to be the head of the capital, and ordinary talents will be the official servants, wouldn't it be good? ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "I think your mother and daughter are smarter than me, and it seems that I didn't consider it before to say this to Hui'er and Mrs. I'll do it in the future. I'll talk to Master Wu sometime, and he's actually very competent. In fact, even if you are the head of the capital, you still have time to teach Jun'er and Lin'er. You can ask him to find a few more local good people to be servants, and Mr. Yuan, I will also take the time to talk to him. By the way, Mr. Yuan was sent by you to do something, right? Last time, Madame, you seemed to have told me, and I was so busy that I forgot about it. ”

Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "Master, I've told you several times, and it seems that you haven't taken it to heart." ”

After that, I talked about buying a property. Chen Yuanheng clapped his hands and said: "Hui'er is really agile, many big businessmen in Ancheng haven't thought of it yet, you guys are fast, you have already taken action, and we will definitely be able to make another profit now." It's just that we can't use the idea of renting out this matter, make a fortune and leave, after all, we are not locals, it is inconvenient to take care of, and I am afraid that the market business will get bigger and bigger in the future, and the imperial historians will know that it is not good. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly said: "I save this, that's what I think, don't worry, master." ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

The days passed quickly, Chen Yuanheng and Yuan Mao said, Yuan Mao was very moved, and just after the matter of buying real estate was done, he went to study seriously, and often followed Chen Yuanheng to participate in literary meetings, Chen Yuanheng also introduced some local Confucians to him, got their guidance, and made rapid progress. Coupled with Chen Yuanheng's release of water, there should be no problem in seeing a show.

On the other hand, after Chen Yuanheng talked to Master Wu, Master Wu was very moved, he never dreamed that there would be a day when he would be able to become an official, although he was only a nine-rank official, which made him very excited that his ancestors had been civilians for generations. Master Wu's name is Wu Dashan, he is born with great strength, his family conditions are okay, and he is a small and medium-sized citizen family. The family lives in Deqing City, just a courtyard of five rooms, and there are dozens of acres of land in the village on the edge of Deqing City, and the tenant is enough for a year to live. Wu Dashan has been fond of fists and feet since he was a child. His father saw that he was a piece of material, and the family had been there, so he sent him to Anseong Martial Arts Hall to learn art. Later, he was sent to Qingcheng to learn martial arts. After Yicheng came down the mountain, he was already a young man in his twenties. His father died a long time ago, leaving a widowed mother, and even his sister was taken away by the Tianshan faction. Fortunately, there are few people in the family, Tian is still there, and his mother still saved some money and married him a wife, Yan. Yan married him at the age of fifteen, and he was already in his twenties, ten years older than others. Naturally, everything is left to the wife. After getting married, he went to the capital to find the same brother, the same brother introduced him to a big dart bureau Weiyuan dart bureau, starting from the executioner, because the martial arts are very good, many times to help the dart bureau to save the day, in the rivers and lakes to break through the fame, but also to do the big dart. But that kind of life of licking blood with a knife head tired of him.

Later, the old mother found someone to send him a letter asking him to go back, because he had been married for many years and rarely went home, and his wife only gave birth to one child, and he was still a girl, and his mother asked him to go back to pass on the lineage. There was no way, so he found a way to be recommended to the provincial dart bureau by the boss of Weiyuan Dart Bureau. After a few years, his son was born, more attached to his family, besides, he is older, no longer a young man with strong blood, it is very hard to walk darts, he has saved some money from the capital to the provincial capital for more than ten years, and his mother and wife have bought the land, and now the family has one or two hundred acres of land alone, which is enough to live, so I want to go back to Deqing City to retire.

Crazy for recommendations, for collections.
