Chapter 171: Give it all

Chen Wenhui returned home and talked to her mother for a while, and Chen Yuanheng came back. Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "It's not time to go down to the yamen yet, why did my father come back?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Aren't I worried about your mother and daughter entering the palace, don't worry, and run back quickly?" How was it, what did you say when you entered the palace? ”

Bai said: "Master, your daughter has done a few big things today. Let her talk to you. ”

Chen Yuanheng was busy looking like his daughter, why did his daughter do a few big things when he went to the palace? Chen Wenhui hurriedly said everything one by one.

After Chen Yuanheng listened to it, he pondered for a while, this amount of information is too much, it is really a big deal, and it is not one. I can only ask little by little: "So, Hui'er, are you going to help the interests of Shanghai City?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, this interest must be conceded, and if it is not allowed, it must be conceded. The city of Shanghai is no better than overseas. Shanghai City is an inland city, on the mainland, in the sphere of influence of Great Chu, which family, which courtier can cut the land? Rather than taking such a sum of money to make the emperor feel uncomfortable, it is better to give it away and please the emperor. After all, our net worth and life are in the hands of the emperor, and no matter how big the interests are, we must have them. It's okay to enjoy it. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Hui'er, you're right. It's just that it's hard for you to be so decisive, and you don't give it away immediately, and you haven't made excessive demands, the more this is the case, the more the emperor treats you badly. You're such an elf child. The emperor has been calculated by you. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Originally, I didn't want these anymore, our foundation is not in Shanghai City." Our foundation is on Yizhou Island. in the South Seas. Doesn't the father know? Da Chu our grange. Shops, I have dealt with almost everything before, and our main investment direction now is Nanyang. Forget it here in the inland of Dachu, it's too unsafe. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "You are very right to say that. In this way, should we also give up this benefit of our family? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Before, I also persuaded my eldest aunt to let her discuss it with Princess Lichuan's cousin in a few years." After the construction of Shanghai City, he also gave away 20% of the interests in his hands. The emperor will eventually take back the city of Shanghai completely. If you give it up, you can still get the emperor's reward, why don't you just build a city of your own in the Nanyang close to the place on the mainland? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "That's right, it seems that not only the one percent of our family has to be sacrificed, but the two percent that belong to the Chen family, and I also want to talk to the patriarch." I give it and make it overseas land. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually. I also have this idea. I want to take out the Ichicheng of our family and exchange it for the eternal income of the Japanese country. There are also 20% of the Chen people who can be taken out and exchanged for the income of the adjacent Silla and Goguryeo regions. The emperor will definitely agree. Because these two regions are not the territory of Great Chu, if we want to take it down, we want the Chen clan, and we will send our own troops to fight it. In this way, for us, the original territory of the Chen people is in the northeast, and if we can have Silla, the interests of the Goguryeo Peninsula can be connected with our own territory, and it is a good place to produce grain, which is enough to supply the food problems of the Chen people. Also, the sea trade has been started there for a few years now, and the Chen people can start the sea trade after they occupy it, isn't it a good way to make money? Originally, the Chen people have never had time to breathe in the face of this barbarian attack, but now is a good opportunity, the barbarians have been defeated, and they will not attack the Chen tribe much in recent years, so that the Chen people can concentrate their forces to attack Silla and Goguryeo. These two small nations are not as difficult to attack as the barbarians. The population is small, the rulers are very brutal, and the people have a lot of complaints, and I believe that the Chen family will be able to clean it up soon. Isn't this a permanent inheritance? It's much better than the 20% income of Shanghai City. What about us? The eldest brother has put a lot of effort into the Wa Kingdom. And has occupied a territory. The Wa Kingdom is a good place, far away from the mainland, not under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu, there are many silver mines, and it is still a grain-producing area. With the support of Great Chu, we will be able to take the Wa State with all our might, and in this way, we will form a chain in this ocean, the Wa State, Yizhou Island, and Luzon Island. We can support and protect each other, and in the future, we can also use these three islands as supply depots to explore further afield. ”

Chen Yuanheng was dumbfounded, and said half-paid: "Hui'er, you think very long-term? Calculate everything clearly, you must not think about it now, have you already had this idea? ”

Bai Shi was also surprised and said, "It seems that you are really confident, why haven't you heard from your parents?" Even your eldest brother doesn't necessarily know, right? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, the eldest brother still knows. Therefore, the eldest brother is very attentive in managing the affairs of the Japanese country. From the very beginning, my eldest brother and I regarded the Wa Kingdom as our own territory, and generally rarely let people go over, and we handled the affairs of the Wa Kingdom single-handedly. It's just that it's all secret, and if you can get through the guò method and cross the clear way, it's also a good way. ”

Chen Yuanheng said half-paid: "Hui'er, why are you so ambitious as a girl? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Father, I am not ambitious. I was afraid because at the beginning, after we got the money for the patent, we didn't dare to use it for ourselves, and we wanted to give it to the imperial court and the clan land, and I felt scared. No matter how much money we make or how high our official position is, it is all a passing thing, and the emperor's words can make this qiē come to naught. How insecure it is. Not to mention, money is something outside of the body, and the most important thing is our lives. Living in Dachu, under the imperial power, where can we live a stable life, even if we follow the rules, but in case the eldest aunt, or someone from the Chen family in the capital loses the struggle, they will be raided and exterminated, and it will be pitiful at that time. Therefore, I thought that our future, our happiness, our lives, and our destiny cannot be controlled by the Chen family or the royal family, and we must think of our own destiny. Come to think of it, the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's ministers, as long as we are in Dachu, we will be controlled by these powerful people. At this time, I got the chart left by Emperor Guanglie and went overseas to start my own business, and this idea arose. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Hui'er, you are really thoughtful. How ashamed is your father? I can't protect you, I have to work your own. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled sweetly and said: "Father is already a very good father, and he is the best father of Da Chu." Other people's children have to face a lot of things as soon as they are born, and we don't face these things. There are still many children who are born and are calculated by those favored aunts as soon as they are born, and we don't have these things. Over the years, my father's official position has become bigger and bigger, but my brothers and I are very grateful to me for still guarding my mother alone. It was our parents who gave us life, raised us, and gave us a happy childhood. As for hard work, this is also very fun and fulfilling. At least, I think it's much better than drinking tea, admiring flowers, talking boring things, doing boring things, intriguing, and competing with a group of girls in the capital. ”

Bai smiled and took Wen Hui, and Chen Yuanheng also felt very happy. It seems that his persistence is so correct, if he really can't stand the temptation to get a few aunts to come, can he still have such a happy life, capable children, and a family with a bright future?

Chen Yuanheng said: "It is foreseeable that in the future, our little Chen family will surpass the Chen family and become a behemoth." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "As long as we all work hard, we will definitely achieve it. It's just that, father, mother, you must discipline your brothers well, and let them insist on not taking concubines, and besides, you must marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, and you must not covet fame and fortune, and your character is better than anything else. Look at the sister-in-law that my mother chose for my eldest brother. was born in a merchant family, but he didn't know how much stronger than those women from families, scholars and eunuchs, and high-ranking eunuchs. It is very important to marry a good daughter-in-law to enrich three generations. If there is no aunt at home, it can be harmonious, and everything is prosperous at home, what else is not good? ”

Chen Yuanheng thought so.

After calming down for a while, Chen Yuanheng thought of the matter in front of him again and said, "Wen Hui, the second thing you just said is about the origin of Concubine Wan, is it true?" ”

Bai was busy telling how he found out, how Wen Hui analyzed, and how in the palace of the imperial concubine, Wen Hui recited a word and sang a song again.

Chen Yuanheng said: "I know that you got the true inheritance of Emperor Guanglie, or where did our family's charts come from." It's just that this Wan clan was sent by the winner, which is really incredible. But when you think about it, it's not surprising. How can these people who are winners be willing to be taken away. Of course, those who are scheming to take it back. In fact, in the previous dynasty, most of those emperors were ridiculous, otherwise how could they let the Liu family take away the country. The lives of the people of the previous dynasty were in dire straits, but in fact, the Liu family's victory over the world was a good thing for both the people of the world and our four major families. At the beginning, our four major families were also suppressed and had no way, so they had to join forces with the Liu family and abolish the winner's dynasty. This change of dynasty is a great joy, and the only one who is not satisfied is the winner. For the sake of the family's selfish interests, their family disregards the general trend of the world and is deliberately trying to restore, which is really annoying. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Listening to my father's meaning, winners have had such actions before." ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said: "Of course, but these are all palace secrets, and they will not be written in the history books, so you don't know." I'll tell you another day. (To be continued......)
