Hearing that her wedding date was approaching, she still wanted to really be a concubine, Zhao Zhenzhen did not show a happy look, Zhao Zhenzhen frowned and said, "Why is it so fast?" ”

Mrs. Han said, "Your second uncle and second aunt have returned. The situation in the capital has changed again. Now our family is also rising. Haven't you noticed that in recent days, more people have come to visit our family? Moreover, your second aunt has already communicated with me, and she seems to be going to deal with the Bai family with the Xiao Chen family and the Chen family. The queen is so smart, she will definitely seize this opportunity and quickly settle her family affairs, so that she can get on the boat of our Zhao family. ”

Zhao Zhenzhen smiled bitterly, she had long known that her marriage was a political marriage, and she wanted to be the queen in her own family to benefit the family, but why didn't the queen and the eldest prince also use the power of the Zhao family to increase their chips so that they could become the prince as soon as possible.

Therefore, even if her mother said that the eldest prince now likes Xia Yuyan, she is not afraid. Because, she is of use to the eldest prince. As long as she keeps her heart and doesn't mess around, if she wants to come, the eldest prince will give her the respect she deserves.

If you can't be as affectionate as the second uncle and aunt, then respecting each other is also a good choice.

Chen Wenhui has been very busy lately, and there are too many things to do when she returns to the capital. The northwest side came back first, but there are still many industries and manpower left there. Chen Wenhui has to slowly evacuate those industries and manpower. In fact, the letting go of the industry is the easiest. Because those industries have already been agreed to sell to the people in the northwest.

For example, Chen Wenhui's beautiful and unparalleled mansion was sold to the patriarch of the Qiang tribe in the northwest. The Qiang are a big people. It originally occupied the most fertile pastures, but in the process of dealing with the barbarians, it expanded to its own territory, and also got enough benefits from the war.

After development in recent years, the population has also increased, the cattle and sheep sold have also increased, and the natural silver has also increased. With so much money, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe has long given up living in tents. He bought mansions in both Shanhai City and Tiebi Pass. However, the mansion is beautiful. But compared with Chen Wenhui's unparalleled house in the world. It's still a few blocks away.

Now as soon as Chen Wenhui said that he wanted to sell the house, he immediately came to him and wanted to buy it. Of course, there are several of them to buy at the same time. Basically, the patriarchs of the five major clans on the grassland took a fancy to it. There is also the Xi family. The Zeng family, the Wen family, and the Ma family all want to buy it. Chen Wenhui has no way. Only a small auction could be held, and these families began to compete for the price, and in the end, the great patriarch of the Qiang tribe bought it for 300,000 taels of silver.

This one made Chen Wenhui very happy. Although this house is beautiful, when I bought it, the land in Tiebiguan was still very cheap, so it cost very little. It only cost 20,000 taels of silver to buy such a big place. The main reason is that the construction cost a lot of money later, and the bricks and tiles used are good, and the most important glass corridor and glass flower house are expensive. Even so, Chen Wenhui only spent more than 100,000 taels of silver.

has lived in vain for eight years, and after the house is sold, it can still earn back half of it, can it not make Chen Wenhui happy? Chen Wenhui immediately decided to donate 50,000 taels of the money from the sale of the house to the Maternity Hospital in Tiebiguan in the northwest. It can also be regarded as a memorial for the people of the northwest. This move once again moved the people of the northwest.

Staying at home is the easiest. Chen Wenhui has many more, such as workshops, canning workshops, wool textile workshops, these two workshops are not one, but Tiebiguan, the five cities of the grassland, one in each city, Chen Wenhui sold the canning workshop to the Xi family, and the wool textile workshop to the Wen family.

There were twelve of these two workshops alone, and in the mountains next to each city, there were huge ice cellars underground, which were used to freeze meat, and this total was sold for more than three million taels of silver.

On the Wen family's side, the Wen family's own family gave one million taels of silver, and the Wen family's children in Tiebiguan pooled one million taels of silver, and also borrowed one million taels of silver from the bank.

The Wenjia Jiangnan family, since getting the general distribution of Nanyang brocade in Huzhou and Heyang Zhou given by Chen Wenhui, has greatly increased its annual profits. Later, Chen Wenhui gave them the Jiangnan general distribution of wool textiles in the northwest, so they could make a profit of 500,000 taels of silver every year for these two items alone.

The Wen family not only earned back several times the money given to Chen Wenhui at the beginning, but also separated their children to Tiebiguan in the northwest, and now these children have stood in Tiebiguan and have a wool textile workshop. In the future, the Wen family's wool textile business will be even better. The Wen family has become a big fabric merchant that can be compared with the Lan family.

The Xi family is the same, and they spent a total of five million taels of silver to buy these six workshops. The Xi family itself is a glass workshop, and it has been given a canning workshop, which is an expanded business area. Of course, the Xi family did not have so much liquidity, and the Xi family also borrowed three million taels of silver from the bank for this.

Chen Wenhui was very happy, pulled business for the bank, and got nearly 10 million taels of silver for herself. This silver can be used to buy people for the imperial court in the future war against southern Xinjiang.

In addition to these, Chen Wenhui also bought a large number of pastures, land, shops, and houses in the northwest. When these were bought, they were all very cheap, and they only cost one or two million taels of silver in total, but now that the northwest is developing rapidly, these industries, especially shops and houses, have multiplied several times.

If they are all sold, it is estimated that Chen Wenhui can still get five million taels of silver.

However, these Chen Wenhui are slowly being sold, and there is no hurry.

In addition to these industries, even manpower is also very important. In the northwest, Chen Wenhui himself has brought people who have been trained, and in the past eight years, he has recruited a lot of talented people and talents in the northwest. These people have also been trained. It can be said that Chen Wenhui is now a strong soldier. Moreover, under the persuasion of Chen Wenhui, these people are willing to take their families to Nanyang to build a new city.

Chen Wenhui is withdrawing these people little by little. These will be Chen Wenhui's team when he built the new city in Nanyang.

While dealing with these things, Chen Wenhui also had to discuss with her parents how to deal with the Bai family.

Chen Wenhui took a car to her parents' house, and when she arrived at her parents' house, she found that her mother and father were already waiting for her in the main room. She said directly: "Come to think of it, father, mother already knows the agreement between me and His Majesty the Emperor, and we are going to start attacking the Bai family." ”

Chen Yuanheng pondered and said, "After the emperor told me about this, I thought about it for a long time. The Bai family is about to strike. If you don't deter the four major families, in the future, in the war against southern Xinjiang, in case the four major families pull back, Da Chu will have to suffer from the enemy. Wouldn't that be a great chaos in the world? Therefore, for the four major families, one must be attacked as a deterrent. Unfortunately, the Bai family bumped into it. ”

When Bai Shi heard this, he sighed and said, "It's my mother's family that is dealing with me, and I'm not very happy in my heart." However, the Bai family has indeed been too arrogant over the years. is more powerful than our Chen family, you know, after all, the queen is sitting in the position of our Chen family's concubine, and his Bai family's concubine is just a concubine, why, the Bai family is now covering the sky with one hand? Where does this put the queen mother? Where to put the Queen Mother? Where do you put our Chen family and Xiao Chen's family? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Also, the children of the Bai family used to be officials, and they were all relatively honest and restrained, which was good to the people. However, in recent years, they have been unscrupulous and arbitrarily prey on the local people, and if they continue like this, they are afraid that the people will not want to, and Dachu will also be harmed by them. We, the families who are attached to Da Chu, will also suffer. ”

"Originally, among the four major families, our Chen family, we are definitely unwilling to deal with it. Besides, our Chen family is now going all out to build the newly acquired Goguryeo Peninsula. did not interfere too much in the affairs of the imperial court. The disciples of the clan either did not serve in the clan land or the new clan land, or they were recruited by our Xiao Chen family to go to the Waguo Islands, Yizhou Island, and the four cities of Nanyang, and there were very few who served in the Great Chu region. Therefore, our Chen family is very low-key, and it will not arouse the suspicion of the court and the resentment of the people. ”

"In this way, the Bai family, the Li family, and the Wang family are left. The Wang family has always been bad, since the queen Wang has been corrupt, the people are prey, and all the bad things have been done, but the Wang family will also play a major role in the future war against southern Xinjiang. For a while, the Wang family can't be moved. Then the Li family and the Bai family will be left. ”

"Unfortunately, the Li family is very restrained now, basically not in the capital, or in the court, or in the local waves, but the Bai family bumped into it, so there is no way, you can only do it to the Bai family."

Chen Wenhui said: "I didn't think about it so much, but my father thought it through. ”

Bai said: "The Bai family has a big business, and the northwest has developed well in recent years. The threat of the Bai family is gone, and the Bai family still has our cotton business, if the Bai family suffers losses, our family will also suffer. Although our family has a lot of properties, we are not afraid of losing these two money, but after all, we are also distressed. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is true, what should I do? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "The existence of a family cannot be extinguished in a while. What the emperor said about dealing with the Bai family is just a blow to the arrogance of the Bai family, and the Bai family still can't move. So, we will have losses, but it should not be large. It's just that our family may have to end the cotton business with the Bai family in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Not necessarily. If the Bai family is really hit, in the imperial court, here in Da Chu, the Bai family can't make money, they will pay more attention to the cotton business, at that time, our Chen family is powerful, and they can only rely on our Chen family. Our share of the cotton business will not be affected. ”

Chen Yuanheng thought about it too. Laughed. (To be continued......)
