Chapter 130: Arrange for the Brothers
Zhao Chongyi's sunny face couldn't help but darken, and he drank the wine in his hand and said, "Hui'er, you may not understand, I am going to use this money to take care of the families of my comrades. ”
Chen Wenhui suddenly understood and said, "I can understand." Although the imperial court gave relief to those soldiers who died in battle, the families of those who lost their relatives were still very pitiful, because those already few pensions were already very small, and after layers of exploitation, there was not much left in the hands of those family members. Of course it's pitiful, if we have the ability, we should take care of it. It's just that I think for those orphans and widows, you can give money, buy some land, so that the children can grow up smoothly, the widows can live, and the old parents can live in peace. For those who can afford to work, we can help them either to start a business, or to introduce them to the workshop, so that with the money you give, plus the money they earn, they can live a good life, even better than before. ”
Zhao Chongyi was afraid that Chen Wenhui would not approve of him doing this, but Chen Wenhui not only agreed, but also gave ideas in a clear manner, which were much better than his idea of just giving money. Zhao Chongyi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
After half a sound, Zhao Chongyi said: "Thank you, Hui'er, I really appreciate that you agree with me so much, and besides, your method is very good, more thoughtful than I thought." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, like a white gardenia: "Don't thank me, I was moved by your kindness." Actually, you know why I'm so thoughtful? Because I've been helping my brother with this for the past two years. Back then, the eldest brother fought the barbarians on the battlefield with those comrades in the clan land. Many of my colleagues have died, and many of them are disabled. The eldest brother is very concerned about them, and the two of you should be in the same mood. That's how we divide into different groups. For those who really don't have labor. We give money and arrange their lives. Moreover, they all try to take them to Yizhou Island, because the weather there is warm and very suitable for living. For those who can work, we all arrange an errand, for example, the current captain of the guard in Xinguang City is the one who fought with his eldest brother at the beginning. It took a hand to be the eldest brother of the Chen family. He was originally disabled in the clan land and could no longer be a soldier, and his life was unsettled. But the eldest brother got him to Shinguang City, and now he manages the escort team well and has become a respectable captain, not only happy himself, but also because he has found self-esteem. His family was also happy. Because his family has now arrived in Xinguang City on Yizhou Island, where the weather is warm and suitable for living, his monthly income is very high. It's enough to feed a large family, and it can also buy some industries. The family is living a prosperous life now, and his eldest son has grown up this year. is very talented, passed the test of the black family, became a disciple of the black family, and took more money than his, it can be imagined that he will definitely be able to become a small family in Xinguang City in the future. ”
Zhao Chongyi was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, I just thought about giving them silver, why didn't I think that they also have self-esteem." How many years will my money last? How much difficulty can it be solved? After all these years, what will they do? It's better to do it your way. But. How do I learn it? I don't have a foundation like Shin Kong City. ”
Chen Wenhui thought for a moment and said, "This is really a problem. I can't say it, but I still have to create some jobs. By the way, Brother Yi, how much money do you have? ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "There is not much gold and silver, about more than 30,000 taels, most of them are some jewelry, utensils and other things. I can't estimate it either. By the way, at this point, I don't have a way to turn these things into silver? Who can have such a large amount of money to eat so many treasures at once? Moreover, I don't have the time and energy to get these things, and I don't know much about them, and if they are sold cheaply, I will also suffer, and I plan to use each of these silvers on the blade. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a way, you take me to see it in the afternoon, do you know that there is an auction house in the capital?" That is the property of the Qi family, and the daughter-in-law of the Qi family is the sister of Princess Lichuan's concubine, and she has a good relationship with me. This auction house is what I gave them the idea. At the beginning, the Qi family was already in decline, but this auction house brought their family back to life. If they knew that I had commissioned the auction, they would not even charge a commission fee. Their auction house is growing very fast, and they can easily take ten times more things than yours. You can rest assured. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "That's a good feeling, but please don't tell them that it's mine, I don't want my grandmother to know." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Don't worry about this, I will say that it is mine, because I always entrust them to auction things, and I am not inferior to you." They won't doubt and won't ask. ”
Zhao Chongyi was surprised: "What do you have to auction?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, it's all my aunt's things in the palace, so the Qi family is very smart and never asks." ”
Zhao Chongyi suddenly understood, the ladies in this palace also need money, of course, they need to take things into money, this auction house is really good. No wonder the Qi family can come back to life with this.
Zhao Chongyi said: "Hey, the things that have plagued me for a long time have all been solved." It's just wonderful. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Where is it all solved? I still have a way, can't I just have money? It is also necessary to turn this money into an industry, which can make money and arrange an industry for many people. ”
Zhao Chongyi hurriedly asked: "What industry?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Didn't I say it? I plan to go to Nanyang with my second brother. Actually, let me tell you. I've made a lot of money in the past few years, probably a few million taels. I invested all this money in Nanyang. The land there is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is very cheap, and one or two pieces of silver can buy two acres. I bought a large piece of land, including mountains and rivers, and I wanted to build a city of my own to manage the land. ”
Zhao Chongyi was completely shocked, he had long known that the Chen family was rich, and he even knew that Chen Wenhui, a little girl, would be the best at making money, but he didn't expect that Chen Wenhui would have so much money: "Hui'er, what are you talking about, is it your Chen family's money?" ”
Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled and said: "No, it's my own money, of course, our family is also very rich, probably so much, so, my family also wants to build such a city, sending my second brother over is this matter, this is our family's foundation in Nanyang in the future." Of course, I also want to have my foundation in Nanyang. ”
Zhao Chongyi's heart was about to be cold: "Hui'er, you, you don't want to, you want to be a female city lord." ”
Hearing the word female city lord, Chen Wenhui suddenly appeared in his mind a person wearing Wu Zetian's clothes, sitting there to manage the civil and military officials, and couldn't help but shudder.
In Zhao Chongyi's mind, Chen Wenhui wore clothes like a female village owner, and the majestic Zhanshan was king, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Wenhui said angrily: "Brother Yi, where did you think of it?" I don't want to be a city lord, just to make money, in fact, it's just a manor owner, it's just a little more well-equipped, in that place in Nanyang, it must be fully equipped, there must be city walls, streets, guards, or else, where wild beasts and wild people are rampant, how to protect yourself? ”
Zhao Chongyi understood now and said, "Well, this is the case." By the way, Hui'er, can I get a manor like this in Nanyang? You can let my retired comrades go to Nanyang as guards, what beasts, savages and the like are not afraid, you also know, you see, that day, they are very easy to kill wolves, what beasts are afraid, they can win battles with barbarians, what savages are you afraid of? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean, give me these properties of yours, I'll get you a big manor, you get your manpower over, and take care of it for you in Nanyang, so that you can take care of them again, and you can also manage the industry, there must be a lot of production, believe in my ability to make money, these earned money, you can expand the manor, so that you can arrange more people to come, okay?" ”
Zhao Chongyi felt beautiful when he thought about it, and he was very excited: "Yes, maybe for the first time, my money can only be a small Zhuangzi with a hundred people, and when I make more money in the future, get more loot, get more rewards, and become a bigger official, won't I be able to expand Zhuangzi?" Wouldn't that allow more people to live in the past? ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Zhao Chongyi grabbed Chen Wenhui's hand: "Hui'er, you are so good, I really know what to say, thank you so much." ”
Chen Wenhui's hand was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Chongyi's hand, feeling that the hands were very strong, a little rough, and very warm, Chen Wenhui's face involuntarily turned red: "Brother Yi, what are you doing?" Still not ready to eat? ”
Only then did Zhao Chongyi notice that he was grabbing Wen Hui's hands, those hands were like white jade, white, soft, and slippery, he was a little reluctant to let go, but when he thought about it, this is really not good, how can it be so abrupt, he hurriedly let go, his face couldn't help but turn red, and Nuo Nuo didn't know how to say it.
The maids and the little maids were all snickering, but they were afraid that the master would be embarrassed, so they had to hold back desperately.
Zhao Chongyi was okay, his face was thicker, he coughed twice, and said as if he was fine: "Well, today's meal is exceptionally delicious, but I'm going back to the northwest in a few days, where can I still eat such a delicious meal?" Hui'er, when will your Qinghelou and Tiebiguan branches open? ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help asking, "Do you want to go back?" So fast? (To be continued)
