Chen Wenjun smiled slightly, neither saying yes nor saying no. But Chen Wenhui already understood that her eldest brother's ambition was too shocking to her.

But on second thought, what is this? My eldest brother is handsome and chic, talented, wise, scheming, responsible, kind and brave, so perfect, why can't he be the patriarch? Even someone like Liu Yan can expect to be an emperor, and his eldest brother is much stronger than Liu Yan.

Must be supportive, just, don't know if your parents know?

Wen Hui immediately asked, "Big brother, do your parents know about this idea?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Of course I know, and my parents are very supportive. My father supported him because he had a deep affection for the clan. Mother's support is for your sake. ”

Now Chen Wenhui was strange: "Why is it for me?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Because there is another rule in the clan, that is, if the girl of my Chen family is married, as long as the patriarch agrees, the daughter of the Chen family and the children born to her can be designated as members of the Chen family, and they can be surnamed Chen." ”

This Chen Wenhui doesn't understand, isn't this a messy genealogy?

Chen Wenjun saw his sister's puzzled expression and said: "This is not the case of our Chen family, the four major families are like this, and the Liu family was also like this in the past, but later their family became emperors, accepted Confucian thoughts, and abandoned the things set by Emperor Guangwu, so naturally there is no such article." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say, "It turns out that it was set by Emperor Guanglie again." There are really a lot of things handed down by this Guangwu Emperor. ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and said, "I found out that sister, don't you like Emperor Guanglie very much?" This is not good, our four major families respect Emperor Guanglie very much. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly smiled and said, "Where? I admire him too. It's just that why does our Chen family have this regulation? ”

Chen Wenjun was successfully diverted from the topic and said: "Oh, this is because Emperor Guanglie said at the beginning that his sons and daughters are all members of his own family and have the right to inherit, and also, several of our big families have intermarried with each other, and it has been a long time, which is not conducive to eugenics." By the way, I don't understand this eugenics too well, but it probably means that there are too many intermarriages, and it is easy to produce deformed children, so it is necessary to inject new blood into the family. In this way, the vitality of the family can be maintained. Not only can we accommodate the children of the Chen family's daughters, but we can also add people who have made meritorious contributions to our Chen family to join the Chen family, which is not related by blood at all. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "In that case, isn't it not from the Chen family?" Is there still the blood of the Chen family in this bloodline? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "All such people, although they have entered the Chen family and do not have the blood of the Chen family, their children can still intermarry with our Chen family or the people of the four major families, so don't they have our bloodline?" This not only injects new blood into the family, but also plays a role in strengthening the family. Encouragement is not the meaning of the people of the family. Therefore, the prosperity of our clan land, and the unity of our family has a lot to do with this. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Well, this is really smart. But what does that matter to me? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "My mother originally thought that it was because our father was a concubine. The marriage of the three of us must not be good, and we can only choose among the concubines and concubines, but then our father became the elder of the family, so that we have the status of marrying the four major families, but later. Mother and father said, I'm afraid that if you are so capable, it will be difficult for the ordinary family to accommodate you, so it is better to find you a husband, and you will be attached to the Chen family in the future, and your descendants will be regarded as the descendants of the Chen family. How nice is that. By the way, did you say that you wanted to marry a man? Mother has no choice but to hope that I will become the patriarch because of your words. If you don't rely on your father to be an elder, talk to the patriarch and arrange a way out for you in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly laughed: "That's what I said casually, how could my mother take it seriously?" ”

Although she said that, Chen Wenhui was still very moved, and her mother planned for her so seriously when she said a joke casually.

Chen Wenjun grinned and said, "So you really said that?" I didn't believe it at first. You, you're really different from ordinary ladies, and I don't know if that man will tolerate you in the future. I can't help it, I can only work hard with your second brother and my father, so that I can be your backer in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui's heart warmed, but she said: "Hmph, I'm so beautiful and smart, there are more men who want to marry me, where is it like you said, I have to help you?" ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: "Yes, yes, my sister, it's the Heavenly Maiden who came down to earth, everyone is scrambling for it, okay?" ”

The brother and sister laughed for a while, and when it came to serious things, Chen Wenhui said: "So, my brother is thinking about running Yizhou Island as his own place?" Is it better to make Yizhou Island the rear base of our Chen people in the northeast? ”

Although he didn't understand what the base area meant, Chen Wenjun still said: "That's probably what it means." Now Yizhou Island is rich in products and a large place, but the population is very small. Only a few people lived in the north, all of whom were pre-Qin immigrants who later put down roots on the island. Then there are the local natives. These immigrants are now divided into four families, namely the Gu family, the Huang family, the Hei family, and the Liang family. Now these four companies have mastered the four technologies of salt, sugar, grain, and forging, and no one can do without anyone. If we go, we're going to upset that balance. At that time, there will also be a dispute. In the midst of the strife, I will gradually infiltrate our forces and squeeze out the emperor's forces. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it in her heart and said, "Big brother, if you want to establish a rear stronghold for the Chen clan, why don't you think about Silla and Goguryeo first?" ”

Chen Wenjun smiled slightly and said: "Of course we have to think about it, but now is not the time, when the time is ripe, I must take this peninsula, so that our Chen family can have a hand to reach out to the sea." Now let's get hold of Yizhou Island first. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Brother, your ambition is really not small?" I'm afraid that you are also worried about the Japanese country? ”

Chen Wenjun smiled slightly and did not deny it.

Chen Wenhui didn't have a good impression of the people in the Japanese country and the Korean Peninsula in his previous life, and he wished that his brother would bring them all over. However, after all, they have a ruling class and a complete country, and they are not so easy to get their hands on, so they can only figure it out slowly. On the contrary, Yizhou Island is a borderless land, and it is the time to establish power, and I can't help but admire my brother's foresight.

Wen Hui said: "Big brother, since this is the case, I must do my best to help you, you can take me to Xinguang City." We must build Xinguang City well, so that the Chen people can have food to eat every year, and they will not starve and freeze and fight. ”

Chen Wenjun knew that his sister would definitely support him. To be honest, although my sister is young, she is full of wisdom, and with her help, she will definitely be able to achieve her goals faster. At the same time, deep down, Chen Wenjun felt that the Guanglie Emperor he admired must have something to do with his sister, both of them were very smart, had many incredible ideas, and their thoughts were unthinkable and unfathomable. In time, perhaps, a girl with my sister can grow into a figure like Emperor Guanglie.

Chen Wenhui didn't know that her brother had such thoughts, she only knew that since she was determined to help her brother, she had to go all out. She first had to hand over the affairs of Shanghai City, after all, she had to go for a long time, so what should she do about these accounts and other things in Shanghai City? After thinking about it, Chen Wenhui thought of one person, that is, Wan Shuhui. This person is now very loyal to her, and he is also very skilled, and it is not a problem to manage these accounts. Moreover, now Wan Shuhui and Princess Lichuan have a good relationship. Come to think of it, Princess Lichuan also supports her.

The next step is to prepare for the construction of the new city. These are easy to do, as long as Chen Wenhui makes a list, the big girls under her have grown up, and it is more than enough to deal with these problems.

After making up her mind, Chen Wenhui first talked to her brother, and Chen Wenjun was very satisfied with this arrangement and said: "The affairs of my side are all managed by a few brothers from the Chen family, and my little maid washes the inkstone to help, so it will be foolproof." ”

As soon as Chen Wenjun said this, Wan Meizhen said: "But what about me? Although there are also people from the Chen family to take over, but we also have to leave our manpower? ”

Wen Hui said with a smile: "I have a good candidate, Sister Biwen has just come back from marriage, so I will hand it over to them as husband and wife, and help us watch our business in Shanghai City." For example, my bank, your glass business, our treasure mirror shop, and those shops collect rent. ”

Wen Jun said: "Well, that's a good idea, so let's do it." ”

Wen Hui asked again: "Brother, are these brothers from the Chen family reliable?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "These are my brothers in life and death, and I want to come here by name. It's very special, and you'll understand it when you see it. ”

Wen Hui was a little curious.

Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenhui went to Ma Mingsong together, now he is the acting city lord, he is very busy, when he heard that the Chen family brothers and sisters were going to the new city, he didn't say anything, this is expected, after all, the emperor has ordered to build the new city, he was still worried, what should I do? To whom is a whole lot of business to be handed over? In fact, the Great Chu Dynasty is not without talents, on the contrary, there are many talents, but these people can't be used lightly, because the status of Shanghai City is too special, it is actually shared by the Chen family and the imperial family, so it is difficult to arrange this personnel. If the Chen family is satisfied, the emperor may not be satisfied, and if the emperor is satisfied, the Chen family may not be satisfied. So it's a lot of work.

This time, Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun told Ma Mingsong all the arrangements, and Ma Mingsong immediately agreed. That's the best arrangement. The dockyard belongs to the Chen family, and it is normal for the Chen family to send someone to take over. It is really a good arrangement for Wan Shuhui, who is familiar with Princess Lichuan and Chen Wenhui, to manage the management of the accounts.

The city lord agreed, and Chen Wenhui and they began to hand over. At the time of the handover, Chen Wenhui understood why his brother said that these disciples of the Chen family are special people, because they are all disabled people.
