Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family talked for a while, and Chen Wenhui asked again: "Father, who will take the county order of Ancheng?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I told the eldest sister in advance that we have some industries in Ancheng, so I want the eldest sister to get the location of the county order in Ancheng to Huang Tingfang." The eldest sister found someone to greet the ministry, and now the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are thinking about settling with the eldest sister, and the officials are no exception, such a trivial matter, I immediately agreed, and it should be Huang Tingfang. ”

Chen Wenhui said again: "Then has my father told Master Huang that he is okay?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Huang Tingfang, I have tested him a few times, and found that this person is very talented, and upright, and admires my governance very much, and has long leaned on my side. When I got the letter, I first found him alone and told him that I was going to be promoted to Deqing as the prefect. He hurriedly thanked me. But there were still some worries, so I pretended not to ask him why, and he said that the construction of Anseong had just begun, and it would take several years for the loan plan, market construction, and so on to see results, and now once I transferred him, he was worried that his successor would be gone. I think he meant it. That's when I told him, I have found a relationship to help him get the position of Ancheng County Commander. ”

After speaking, Chen Yuanheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Hey, it is actually difficult to say that an official like him who is upright and has no family background is actually promoted, even if he is promoted, it is just material for being a subordinate official, and there is no reason to be a local herdsman." So he never thought about being a county magistrate, thinking about befriending me, I should take him to continue to be a subordinate official, I am a county magistrate, he is a subordinate official in the county, I am a prefect, he is a subordinate official of the prefect, after all, everyone is like this. I didn't expect that I would seek the position of county magistrate for him. So he was surprised. ”

Bai Shi continued: "Yes, we are backed by a big family like the Chen family, and my mother's family also helped at the beginning, as well as some of our friends in Beijing, such as Sister Hu's husband Yang Hanlin, who have helped, and we spent a lot of money to get the position of Ancheng County Commander." Lord Huang doesn't know the officials of the Jingli Ministry of Officials, so he just wants to spend money and has nowhere to spend it. It's good now, I don't have to spend money to get a position, and I'm a little envious. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed: "Madam, what do you envy, don't you want to be the commander of this Ancheng County?" Did you say it earlier? I don't recommend Lord Huang, I recommend Mrs. directly, I guess the eldest sister is more willing, how can they be a family. ”

Bai Shi also laughed: "The master likes to make fun of me, this is serious." ”

Chen Wenhui also smiled and said: "Actually, if my mother made this county order, it would definitely be better than my father." ”

Bai immediately said: "Go, go, you little monkey also followed your father and didn't learn well, and even your mother made fun of it." ”

Chen Yuanheng asked his daughter with a smile: "Why does Hui'er think that your mother can do better than me?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Father, you see that my mother does not go out of the gate every day, and she does not step out of the second door, but the noblewomen in Ancheng are all good friends with their mothers, these women are not easy to get along with, some like money, some are vain, some are cowardly, some are strong, they are all defeated at the feet of their mothers, this is a skill." Besides, at home, there are a lot of servants in the family, and my mother manages them well, but I have the ability, and there are so many businesses in our family, my mother manages them well, and she is getting more and more prosperous, but is she capable? Also, our family's business is good, thanks to a few capable maids and servants, these people were brought by my mother in the capital, this is the ability? Isn't it better than my father? ”

Bai's face turned red when he said this, but Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "Hui'er is right, your mother is very capable, but it's a pity that she is a woman, or she may not be able to revive the Bai family." Now, it's cheaper for our family. ”

Bai's face turned red: "Okay, okay, don't make fun of me, let's talk about what happened to Lord Huang later?" ”

Chen Yuanheng hurriedly said: "What can I do, I must be grateful to me, and then told me some official things, that is, to set the development direction of Ancheng in the future, including how to continue to build the market, and so on." ”

Chen Wenhui put away her smile and said with a straight face: "Father, although the affairs of Ancheng have been arranged, my father also has to arrange the affairs of Deqing City." After all, everything has to be prepared in advance. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I have prepared this, at the beginning of the year, I deliberately opened a branch of the restaurant and Cuijin Lou in Deqing City to explore the meaning of Deqing City." Now our manpower is very familiar in Deqing City. Deqing City is now divided into three factions, one is the current prefect, the other is the provincial city assassin, and the other is the neutral faction. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Isn't the prefect also under the jurisdiction of the assassin? Why aren't they the same? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "They were originally a faction, but later because of some things, mainly the court dispute, which affected them, the prefect is the three princes, and the assassin is the prince's faction, which is naturally an irreconcilable contradiction, naturally it can't be a faction, not only that, but also very hard." The assassin often reprimanded the prefect, how could the prefect keep suppressing the power of the assassin in Deqing City and the five counties to which Deqing belonged, without giving any face, so that everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Oh my God, this battle for succession has already been played out in the locality, and even our land south of the Yangtze River is their battle." ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned: "Indeed, in fact, this is not a good thing, now from the court to the locality, I don't have to do things, I only think about the merits of the dragon, I only think about the battle for succession, if it goes on like this for a long time, there will be a big incident in the court." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded. Wasn't this the case with the Qing Dynasty in the previous life, the battle for the succession during the Kangxi period directly mixed up the prosperous era created by Kangxi, and troubled the successor for many years.

Chen Yuanheng said again: "Actually, these people are short-sighted, they only know that their family is fighting, why don't they want to think that our Great Chu Dynasty is not peaceful."

Now Chen Wenhui didn't understand: "Why is it not peaceful, don't I see a prosperous scene?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Our Ancheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River, which is naturally very calm, and it is the land of fish and rice, and it is very rich, of course, it is a prosperous scene." But there are barbarians in our north, they grow on horseback, the cavalry is very powerful, our army will be defeated in every battle, and every defeat will cede territory, and in the long run, one day it will lead to the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. ”

Chen Wenhui heard about the northern barbarians for the first time. I didn't expect it to be like this, and I couldn't help but think of the previous life, the rise of Mongolia, the fall of the Song Dynasty, the rise of the Manchu Dynasty, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty. One is the ethnic minorities in the northwest, the other is the ethnic minorities in the northeast, some people say that the land of China is a funnel shape, the rise of the northwest is also the destruction of China, and the rise of the northeast is also the destruction of China. I also remembered that when the Song and Ming dynasties were destroyed in history, I don't know how many tragedies there were on the land of China, and at that time, not only the people suffered, but the nobles suffered even more, like Li Qingzhao.

I didn't expect to cross over here, and this place is also threatened by the northern barbarians. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was silent.

Bai Shi looked at his daughter with a worried face and said: "Hui'er, you are a girl's family, this northern matter is what the ministers of the court are worried about, not only is it not something you worry about, even your father doesn't need to worry about it, we haven't even done a good job in Ancheng and Deqing now, how can we manage the world." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "What Madame said is, why can a lot of houses sweep the world? Let's take care of our business first. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, she hurriedly threw away those thoughts, sorted out her thoughts anew, and said: "Father, I think it's not enough for you to figure out the form of Deqing, but also to prepare manpower now, so that when you go to Deqing, you can have the strength to fight against several of them, and you can grasp power as soon as possible." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, it makes sense to say that. Dutou I still want to let Wu Dashan go, first, I can continue to call your brothers martial arts, and second, he is doing a good job in Dutou's position now. When the time comes, let him recommend one of his senior brothers in Ancheng to Lord Huang, and he will follow me to Deqing City, he is already from Deqing, it is even more convenient, and you can also find a few more senior brothers to be officials, so that I can master the government service as soon as possible, and there are people in my hands, so it will naturally be much easier to deal with. ”

Chen Yuanheng said and remembered something again: "By the way, Yuan Mao has been admitted to Xiucai, and in two days I will make up for him the position of the master of money and grain, and work in Ancheng for a while first, after all, there is still an autumn harvest, and I can't go to Deqing until the New Year to take office." With his help, I can have an easier time paying taxes this fall. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "My father arranged very well, Master Wu and Mr. Yuan are both literate and martial, with their assistance, my father will definitely be able to deal with Deqing political affairs soon." However, I think my father should also choose some trustworthy and developing businesses from our good friends to bring to Deqing, so that it is more convenient for us to develop Deqing's business. ”

Chen Yuanheng patted his head: "Hey, I haven't thought about this, what Hui'er said is very true, in fact, the best merchants belong to the Wang family and the Lan family, I will go back and give them a thorough talk, and then I will probe and then talk about it, there is time left and right now." There is also a very good relationship, that is, Wanjia Yinlou, but Wanjia is not from Ancheng, they are from the provincial city, and we will talk about it later. ”

Chen Wenhui and Bai both nodded. Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "Speaking of Wanjia, I think of something, because the eldest sister's jewelry has made such a big splash in Beijing, and the reputation of Wanjia Yinlou has also sounded in the capital, Hui'er's sets of jewelry have been sold at a high price in the capital, and the people of Wanjia Yinlou told me the day before yesterday, thank us, and the profits of these jewelry were said at the beginning, and they were all given to us. The money will be given to Hui'er. ”

The collection is still not much, please collect more, please vote for my recommendation. Thank you. In addition, the plot presumes that the clouds of war are drifting for the first time, but this time it is slight.
