Chapter 277: Precipitation

The next day, Chen Wenhui looked spring, was helped into the carriage by Zhao Chongyi, and the husband and wife went to Xiao Chen's house with Langxue.

Although Chen Wenhui has been married for less than a month, and they have already met when they returned to the door, and they have also met at the banquet at Chen Wenhui's house yesterday, but today Chen Wenhui returned to her parents' house, Chen Yuanheng and his wife still went to the gate early to greet them.

Chen Wenhui was helped out of the carriage by Zhao Chongyi at the gate, and saw his parents standing there looking at them with a smile, two brothers and sisters-in-law also standing behind their parents, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but say: "The weather has turned cold today, father, mother, why are you still at the gate to greet you?" Are we not outsiders? My brother and sister-in-law don't persuade me to do it? ”

Chen Yuanheng hasn't seen his daughter for a few days, this time, he couldn't help but observe his daughter carefully, only to see that his daughter's face was ruddy, her complexion was excellent, and she couldn't help but feel relieved, and said: "Now is the time of high autumn weather, your mother and I have always been healthy, where is it so delicate, it's good to come out and walk around, okay, let's not talk about this, have you had breakfast?" Shall we go to the main room and sit? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Of course, I came after breakfast. It just so happened that my father came here today without a break, or I wouldn't be able to see my father again. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and led everyone to the main room.

Lang Xue also came to greet her, Bai helped her up, and walked to the main room with Rong Xue.

When they arrived at the main room, everyone sat down, and Rong Xue knew that they had something to say, so they found an excuse to visit the good spirits, and Bai was very satisfied with Rong Xue's knowledge. He said kindly, "You are also restrained here, and it is better to go to the good spirits to play." After a while, we will have a banquet at home, and after a while, your sister Mingzhu will come, and we will have lunch in Zhiqiu Pavilion, and when the time comes, we will order someone to invite you. ”

When Lang Xue heard that Mingzhu was also coming, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she saluted and was taken out by the maid.

After the snow is gone. Chen Yuanheng said: "You guys are here for the sake of government affairs? ”

Chen Wenhui glanced at Zhao Chongyi. Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said what the prince said yesterday.

Chen Yuanheng pondered and said, "I know some of these things. For example, the eldest princess's illness, Hui'er's third aunt has already sued me. There is also the emperor's illness, and the queen mother has already believed with us. This has been prepared for a long time. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position has been secured. Even if there is something wrong with these two. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also be able to take over the throne smoothly. Ministers of the imperial court. Those who are not the prince's faction have basically been cleaned. It should be able to pass safely. The key is the post-transition thing. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I have been friends with the prince since I was a child, and at that time, the prince had the desire to wash away the corruption and corruption of officialdom in Dachu. I wonder if this wish is still there? ”

Zhao Chongyi glanced at Chen Wenjun and said: "This wish is also the wish of me and Liu Jingyuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in obscurity for the past few years, but he has just buried his wish in the bottom of his heart, in fact, he has never forgotten it." ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned and said, "Why don't I think that the rule of our Great Chu has long been broken?" Why don't I want someone to sweep the world and give the people a blue sky? However, this anti-corruption and rectification of officials is not easy to rectify. For so many years, the officials of Dachu have colluded with each other, married each other, related to each other, and are intertwined, how to rectify it? This is the case in the capital, and the same is true in the local area, how to clean it up? Do you want to kill all the officials of Da Chu? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "This naturally can't. However, Keihara and I estimate that after the crown prince ascends to the throne, at least half of the officials in the world will disappear. ”

Chen Wenhui's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin frowned.

Chen Yuanheng was not surprised at all, these were all expected by him, he said: "If this is the case, then the prince will also be dangerous in the future, and the people who follow the prince will be even more dangerous." The first to bear the brunt was Keihara, and then it was me. ”

Zhao Chongyi did not say anything.

Bai said: "Since ancient times, all officials who have changed and rectified will be counterattacked in the end, and there will be no good end, so why should we go to this troubled water?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "However, we are all online, and it won't work if we don't do it." can only slowly figure it out, and persuade the prince not to be in a hurry. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If the world is not rectified, it will not work, it needs the momentum of thunder to return the people to a blue sky." However, these corruptions have been cultivated, and if they are cut off all at once, I am afraid that it will hurt the fundamentals, especially the officials who implement policies, such as Jingyuan, Chongyi, and fathers, will be implicated. On the contrary, a few of us in Nanyang should be okay and can escape safely. Chongyi I also thought about it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants us husband and wife to run the northwest. Then we'll go, just to avoid this trend. It's just that this involves my father and Brother Liu, what can I do? ”

Chen Yuanheng couldn't help asking: "I have already received a rumor that the emperor and the prince have discussed, and I want your husband and wife to run the northwest, I just feel puzzled, your husband and wife went to the northwest, what is Hui'er, the head of Nanyang?" What about the construction of our Nanyang? ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "My father has served the emperor for so many years, so he should know better than me. The emperor has always been suspicious, I have developed so fast in Nanyang, and our Xiao Chen family has risen so quickly, can the emperor be happy in his heart? Naturally, we want to think about slowing us down. So, come up with the idea of letting us couple go to the Northwest. At first, I wasn't happy, but when I think about it, it's a good thing that I can take advantage of this incident to get out. Moreover, the development of our Nanyang is indeed too fast, and it takes time to precipitate. Give me five years, we will definitely be able to come back, and at that time, it is the time for the great development of Nanyang. ”

Seeing Chen Wenhui's confident appearance, Zhao Chongyi was happy and proud, his wife was so smart and capable, it was really a treasure given to him by God. However, Chen Yuanheng and his wife were not very happy when they heard it, after all, their daughter was going to the bitter cold place in the northwest, could they be happy? Chen Yuanheng frowned.

Bai couldn't help but say: "The northwest is different from the South Seas, the South China Sea has a warm climate, even if there are natives, it is not a climate." However, the northwest has never really been pacified, and those steppe peoples are all very strong, how dangerous. Moreover, how can your body withstand the bitter cold of the northwest? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Mother, I didn't go to the front line to fight, I went there to do business and develop the economy, where will there be fights and killings?" I went and lived in Tiebi Pass, and I won't go forward. There are houses, restaurants, and teahouses, and it's cold in winter, and our family doesn't have no money to burn charcoal, so what are we afraid of? ”

Bai thought about it, but she also understood that going to the northwest was hard after all, and her daughter was comforting her.

Wan wanted to speak, but when she saw that her husband wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Wenhui said, "What does my sister-in-law want to say?" ”

Wan Shi hurriedly said: "If you go to the northwest, maybe our maritime trade will be affected?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "No, I have another idea to go to the northwest. I want to open up the trade line from the northwest to Shanghai City, so that your Yizhou Island and our Nanyang products can be transported from Shanghai City to the northwest, and through the merchants in the northwest to Central Asia and Europe for sale. In the same way, the special production capacity of the northwest has been transported to the sea, reaching the South Seas, Yizhou Island, and the Wa Kingdom. In this way, in the future, it will be very convenient for the sisters-in-law to need the gems of the Hu people. ”

Wan Shi immediately understood the huge economic value here, and couldn't help but take a breath and said: "This is a big deal, if it is really done, the impact on the future will also be far-reaching." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, therefore, my trip to the northwest will not only not affect our maritime trade, but should also stimulate the further development of maritime trade." Moreover, I plan to occupy another large island in the South Seas, Sumatra, so that my island chain in the South Seas can be considered to be preliminarily completed, so I will build a fourth city. ”

Mei Shi hurriedly said: "Yesterday, when I heard you and those ladies talk about this matter, I thought, we build the fourth city, everything is easy to say, that is, we are not full of manpower now, what will we do when we manage the fourth city in the future?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? We also use the old method, transfer the mature city management hands, and then appoint new people to manage the old city, anyway, like Qingchun City, your Tianshui City has been built, the development of the city is also very stable, and the various systems are also reasonable, as long as you find someone to follow Xiao Gui. ”

Mei Shi thought about it and looked at her husband Chen Wenlin. Chen Wenlin said: "Sumatra Island is very large, and there are indigenous countries on it, but these people are not worth mentioning in front of our Nanyang army, we should be able to clear them quickly, and the rest is to build a city." I'm afraid we're growing too fast and it's hard to manage. Since Wen Hui, you and your brother-in-law are going to the northwest, why don't we build a fourth city for now, and then talk about it slowly? ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I am like this, the more others want to slow me down, the more I have to face the difficulties." I not only want to develop the fourth city, but also tie the entire capital nobles to my chariot, let everyone contribute money, raise funds to build the city, in the future, these nobles will pay, all expect the construction of this city to earn them a few tens or even millions of taels of silver back, when the time comes, see what the emperor and the prince will do, you can't be angry, right? Besides, when you build the city, Chongyi and I should be in the northwest to help him run the northwest, and he still wants us to work for him, so he shouldn't dare to offend us. This is a good time for us to grow. Once the city is established. We are not busy expanding, precipitation for a few years, I have to wait for something to really mature, then return to Nanyang, at that time, is a good time for us to develop. (To be continued......)
