Chapter 210: Respect for Talents
Tian Jingye returned home, although he was a little drunk, but he was not drunk, and when he inquired, his grandfather was still talking to his grandmother in the house. There are also cousins of the Bai family, as well as aunts and county lords, their parents, and the uncle's family.
Tian Jingye hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the upper room. Walking on the road, Tian Jingye couldn't help but think of his own aunt. The county lord of Shuyuan was originally the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, and her status was respected. But this branch of the Bai family declined, and the aunt moved out of the Bai family's mansion, of course, the aunt was not impoverished. You must know that my aunt's dowry back then was ten miles of red makeup, even if the Bai family became poor, my aunt could still live well. But my aunt was not reconciled and often returned to the eldest princess's mansion. Relying on her grandmother's love for her, she tossed endlessly. As the serious grandson of the eldest princess, she and her cousin are cautious, but the cousins of the Bai family are very arrogant as the grandsons of their grandmother. At this time, my mother advised herself to be patient. Hey, no wonder people say that the women of the Chen family are good, just look at their mother, they know that they are capable, the city is deep, they are filial to their mother-in-law, they are deeply pleasing to their mother-in-law, they are also noble and generous, and their family background is also incomparable. The father was lucky to find his mother, but his wife was a little worse by comparison.
Just thinking about it, he had already arrived at the upper room, and Tian Jingye was busy greeting the elders. The county lord Shuyuan originally liked her nephew very much, but her nephew snatched her son's position as the city lord, so she was naturally unhappy. Lord Shuyuan turned his face away and didn't say a word. Chen Yuanfang saw it, but didn't say anything, can her sister-in-law's temper still not know?
Chen Zhaonan asked: "Jingye, how did you go to your third uncle, why did you go for so long?" Did your third uncle leave you to eat? ”
Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "The child is not eating at the third uncle's house. It's a meal eaten in a restaurant outside. ”
As soon as I said that. Lord Shuyuan couldn't help but say, "Oops." Lord Chen is really, he is already rich and rivals the country, why is he still so small, he doesn't even leave his nephew for a meal, and let his nephew eat in a restaurant? ”
Chen Zhaonan's face immediately pulled down. The eldest princess looked at it and said, "Shuyuan, don't talk nonsense." ”
The county lord of Shuyuan originally wanted to lose the face of the second sister-in-law, but forgot that Chen Zhaonan was also here. I also knew that it was said that it was a time, so I was busy and shut up.
Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "It's not that the third uncle doesn't keep to eat, it's really that he did too many things this afternoon, where can I care about eating in the third uncle's house." Chen Wenhui's cousin said that one should pay attention to efficiency. ”
Chen Zhaonan smiled when he heard it and asked: "Oh, your cousin is a girl's family and also talks about efficiency, how many things have you done in the afternoon?" ”
Tian Jingye was very excited when he heard this, and he hurriedly told him about the afternoon.
After saying that, everyone was stunned, especially the two brothers of the Bai family. Bai Junda and Bai Junyi said in surprise: "Cousin, you went out and got 50,000 people in such an afternoon?" There are also meals along the way. Boat? ”
Tian Jingye said proudly: "Yes, not only that, but I also negotiated the clothes of 50,000 people with the shopkeepers of Cuijin Building, which is nothing, and the most important thing is that I have negotiated with the Hei family about the weapons, tools and other things that the people who want to go to Nanyang." It is said that the farming tools of the Hei family are more advanced than our Dachu, and there is no need to transport them all the way from Dachu, just go directly to Nanyang and take them in the city of the Hei family. ”
Chen Zhaonan was moved and said: "This is a big problem." I know this black family, their farm tools are very advanced, and ordinary people can't sell them if they want to. ”
Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "Not only can we buy it, but the Hei family also gave me a preferential price." ”
Chen Zhaonan hurriedly asked how much it was. After asking, he gasped and said, "This price is not high." We also want this home from Da Chu Lane, but we still have to have freight, which adds up to not this price. The Black Family gave you this discount just because of your cousin's face? ”
Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "The first is because of my cousin's face, and also, the reason why I went to the restaurant to eat was to invite the Tang shopkeeper of the Hei family to dinner. Second, there is a condition for the black family. ”
Chen Zhaonan hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" ”
Tian Jingye said: "The Hei family wants to open their shop in the clan land of the four families. Because there are a lot of special medicinal materials that the black family likes in the clan land. The black family doesn't really care about money, nor does they care about power, what they care about is the study of knowledge. If there were precious medicinal materials, their Black Family's Alchemy Hall would be able to take their skills to the next level. Make a better medicine to come. That's why they're willing to give a good price. ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she looked at Chen Zhaonan with a smile and said, "The emperor should also hope that the shops of the Hei family can enter the clan land of each family." We all know now, some of the doctors of the Hei family are more skilled than the doctors of the Tai Hospital, if the Hei family's medicine, the medical skills can be better, it is also a good thing for our Dachu, the emperor is especially happy. ”
Chen Zhaonan hurriedly said: "What the eldest princess said is that in fact, our Chen family also hopes that the Hei family will be stationed in the clan land, after all, we have been fighting all year round, if we can have the Hei family doctor, our clan will lose less." It's just that I don't know if the emperor can agree, and I have to ask the eldest princess for instructions, and the other three, let me come forward to say. It's still no problem to think about it. ”
The eldest princess nodded and said, "Is there no problem with this princess?" However, tomorrow, I will go into the palace and ask for a precise word. ”
Chen Zhaonan nodded.
Lord Shuyuan's eyes are green, and he really let his nephew build this first credit. It is also a ready-made credit, if his son becomes the city lord, he will definitely be able to do it, after all, his son and Chen Wenhui are also cousins. She didn't want to think about it, Chen Yuanfang had always been very good to the third brother of the concubine, but she was the county lord and never took a second look at the concubine's sister Bai. Now that she needs someone else, she says that she is her sister, but before, did she ever look at others?
Chen Zhaonan said: "No matter what, the business has made the first contribution and is worthy of reward. ”
Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "This is all the reason why Sister Wen Hui helped. In addition to this, there is even better, the Hei family promised to provide us with talents, some who can design cities, some embroidery houses, some smelters, and some who teach the people how to grow food in that place in Nanyang. ”
Chen Zhaonan was overjoyed and said: "This is good, this is a great achievement, and the practitioners will definitely succeed this time." Jingye, a few of you must be more courteous to the people of the black family when you get there, such people are temperamental, you don't want to put the temper of your son-in-law brother, you know? If anyone spoils the emperor's affairs, he will be punished when he comes back. ”
The two brothers of the Bai family, Hetian Jingye hurriedly agreed.
Chen Zhaonan said: "Although Jingye is young, Jingye is the city lord of Nanyang New City who is personally sealed by the emperor, although you are cousins, older than him, but they are all controlled by him, as in the imperial court, if you commit the following crimes, there are naturally laws waiting for you, do you know?" ”
The two brothers of the Bai family were in their hearts, and they all looked at their mother, Lord Shuyuan. The county lord of Shuyuan is naturally unhappy, this Chen Zhaonan is naturally towards his grandson, why? Lord Shuyuan sneered and looked at his mother. Mother has always doted on herself, and she also loves Junda, and the two Junyi brothers will definitely speak for them.
Where do you know, the eldest princess said slowly: "What Old Man Chen said is yes, although Jingye is my grandson, he is now the lord of Yipin City appointed by the emperor, in charge of the construction, management, and affairs of Nanyang City, and the emperor gave him the right to arbitrary, and he has the right to appoint and dismiss his officials, as well as the right to live and kill." ”
Everyone was shocked when these last three words were said, and the face of the county lord Shuyuan changed, and he couldn't help shouting: "Mother? ”
The eldest princess looked at her daughter and said, "I'm in the capital, and I can't control me, if one day, I go to the city of Nanyang business, if I violate the rules of business, even I can kill me." ”
The tea bowl in the shocked hand of the lord of Shuyuan fell down. Bai Junda and Bai Junyi were also frightened, and hurriedly said, "What my grandmother said is that our brother naturally listens to the city lord's order. ”
The eldest princess nodded and said: "You go out to do things for the emperor, and you have the emperor's order, and you also know how big the construction of this city is. The first battle of the industry has been successful, the personnel, things along the way, and most importantly, the need for technology and tools for farming in the South Seas have been arranged, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, if you have a bad accident, for your own selfish interests, so that this mission is messed up, can you imagine what the consequences are? The last sentence was said to his daughter Lord Shuyuan. This daughter is good at everything, but she is too pampered, too proud, too short-sighted, and she can't do it if she doesn't remind herself.
The county lord Shuyuan shuddered when he thought of the thunderous methods of the emperor's uncle in the past. Chen Zhaonan also remembered the grievances his daughter had suffered over the years, and he couldn't help but feel chilled for this contemporary emperor, a generation of heroes, this eldest princess was definitely not an exaggeration. This time, the food of this city is too important to Da Chu, and there is no room for failure, if it is messed up, what will happen to the emperor, I don't want to know.
The eldest princess continued: "Jingye, you have a heavy responsibility, if you can't be strong and can't control your brothers, what should you do if the Wang family, the Li family and others pass in the future?" You'll have to be careful with your little life then, understand? ”
Tian Jingye was in a cold sweat, and for the first time paid attention to this trip to Nanyang, this is not to gild them, this is a test of life and death for them, if they can't stand the test, they are naturally not worthy of becoming the cultivation object of the family, and it is natural to be abandoned. From this, he suddenly thought that Chen Yuanheng reminded him today that he should respect Chen Wenhui, the head of Nanyang, and the mistake that the Bai family's cousin made against him had actually been made today, and Tian Jingye suddenly became a little uneasy.
