Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, I'll try to do this first." I can get some of the peasants who have lost their land to follow you. There are about 300 people, and some time ago, I was worried about how to settle these peasants who have lost their land, so let them follow you. As for encouraging the population, I would like to discuss with my staff how we can do it better. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Father, now that I am in control, I want to become our own territory in the future, so we must have our own manpower." We might as well send one of our own. ”

Chen Yuanheng glanced at Chen Wenjun deeply and nodded.

Chen Wenlin said at this time: "Father, Shanghai City is almost finished, and it is enough to have my eldest brother and sister there, I want to go to the clan land to exercise." ”

Chen Yuanheng thought for a while and didn't speak, Chen Wenjun said: "Originally, I intended to let Brother Lin go to preside over the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, but since Brother Lin wants to go to the clan land, I think it's better to exercise, not to mention that this time our sea trade has collected all the investment money, and also divided the red for the first time, and the clan land has already transported back the two million taels of silver." The hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that were dividends were exchanged for materials, including grain, cloth, overseas specialties, porcelain, tea, ironware, salt, etc., there are too many of these things, and it takes someone to transport them back, so it is better to let Brother Lin go. There is merit in going to the clan land in such a scenery, and Brother Lin went to remind the patriarch that the promise to his father should be fulfilled. ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned, looked at Wen Lin with a look of hope, nodded and said, "Jun'er is right, I want to remind the patriarch that my trial task is complete." Give me what should be given to me. ”

Chen Wenlin was overjoyed, Wen Hui's heart moved, there must be something she didn't know about, whatever, there must be something strange in the clan, when to go and see it, it's very mysterious.

Cotton harvest. The cotton cloth business has gradually opened up the market, not only in our Dachu sales are very good, but also in overseas is also very popular, but the cotton in the two provinces is woven into cloth is not enough for the market needs, you have to quickly find the next cotton production place. ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "This year's cotton has brought us a lot of benefits." Lan Shanghan also told me about this problem, and I laughed at him for not being satisfied, if it wasn't for the drought, how could cotton seeds be promoted so quickly? But what we have now is money, and we have enough money and manpower to promote cotton. The question is where to promote it? Of the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, there are already two provinces that grow cotton, Suzhou Province is the silk production area, and the cotton is estimated to be difficult to push away, but even so, the history of Lu Thorn in Suzhou next year has also been said. If we want to promote cotton, it is only that the yield is definitely not much, and only part of it can be planted. ”

Wen Hui said: "I do know a place. There is a lot of land, and it is very suitable for the growth of cotton, and if it is popularized, it must exceed the sum of the three provinces. ”

Chen Yuanheng was very interested and said, "Oh, there is still such a place? Where is it? ”

Wen Hui said: "In the northwest. Originally, cotton came from the northwest, where the land is vast and people are happy, the sunshine hours are long, and the drought is just right for the growth of cotton, where the cotton is better than ours. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Northwest. Isn't that the Bai family's clan land? The Bai family's clan land is not suitable for growing grain, and they have to buy grain from the mainland every year, and they sent Bai Thorn Shi in Ha Duong Province to collect grain for Bai Thorn Shi's convenience. Hey, who knew that as soon as he took office, he encountered a drought, and the Bai family had to buy food from other places at a high price, and the loss was great. ”

Wen Hui said: "It's good to lose a lot, so they are in a hurry to turn over and make money, so we can cooperate with them to earn the greatest benefits." ”

Chen Yuanheng's eyes lit up and said, "What you said makes sense, I'm going to talk to the Bai family." ”

Wen Hui said: "Father is Tongguò, who told the Bai family? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Of course, it is the history of the white thorn, our friendship is not bad, the history of the white thorn, as a member of the third grade of the imperial court, still has some weight in the Bai family." In addition to him, there is another person who can also talk to the Bai family. ”

Wen Hui asked, "Who?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Concubine Bai. ”

Wen Hui was surprised: "Bai Yujing? A woman? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Don't underestimate Bai Yujing, she is the daughter of the eldest brother of the Bai family, and unlike those Bai family women who are married, her status is much higher." She can even speak directly to the patriarch. ”

Chen Wenjun obviously wanted to know more about the rules of the clan, so he asked: "Generally, those who marry are people from side branches, such as our family, that is, the eldest aunt is married, and we are just a side branch, the real patriarch's family, the elders generally don't marry outside?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Don't underestimate Bai Yujing, marrying Liu Yan was proposed by herself." First, she had been to the capital and met Liu Yan, she may have fallen in love with Liu Yan's peerless appearance at that time, and secondly, she felt that Liu Yan was the most promising to become the next emperor, once Liu Yan became the emperor, she would be a concubine, probably a concubine, and the Bai family would be regarded as someone in the palace. You must know that in the emperor's palace of these generations, there are no concubines of the Bai family. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "Yes, how can there be no women from the Bai family?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a strange face: "It's also strange to say, in the past, each family had its own clan girl as a concubine in the palace. But in the generation of the first emperor, the concubine of the Bai family was a noble concubine, but she died in the end, probably from the palace struggle. The children born to the concubines of the Bai family did not survive, so that the mother of the first emperor, Concubine Li, took the lead, and finally became the queen, and then the current emperor ascended the throne. When it was time for the current emperor, like the current crown prince, he married a woman from four families as Liangdi, but the one from the Bai family was the first to die. Now that the prince is here, it is actually the first death of the Bai family, which really makes the Bai family angry. ”

Wen Hui frowned, is this a coincidence? Chen Yuanheng continued: "The continuous failures have dealt a big blow to the Bai family, and the reputation of the girls of the Bai family has also been affected.

Sure enough, Chen Yuanheng said: "Now everyone doubts that the women of the Bai family have less tendons, and the family who was going to marry the Bai family also hesitated, the Bai family was very angry, and the patriarch lost his temper because of this, and he also had a bad relationship with the Wang family and the prince." At this time, Bai Yujing proposed to marry Liu Yan, and the patriarch immediately agreed. I heard that this Bai Yujing is famous for her wisdom in the Bai family, and she is a person with real power in her hands who is in charge of the affairs of the clan in the clan land. ”

Wen Hui was surprised and asked, "What, can a woman be allowed to manage affairs in the clan land?" ”

Chen Yuanheng hadn't spoken yet, Chen Wenjun said: "Life in the clan land is hard, because there is a perennial war with other races, so men, women and children have to work. ”

Wen Hui was a little shocked, isn't this like the society in her previous life? But it's also possible, after all, these clans are all from Fusu Chuangzào, and he is a traverser.

Chen Yuanheng said: "So, if we want to plant agriculture in the northwest, one wants to talk to Lan Shanghan, the other wants to talk to Bai Yujing, Bai Jiayuan said, as long as they all agree, probably half of the matter will be over." ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "There is a person who wants to make a profit." ”

Chen Yuanheng asked, "Who?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Liu Yan." Originally, through guò Haimao, he tied our Chen family to his chariot for reserves, and now, he can grow cotton through guò and tie the Bai family to his chariot. If he gets the support of the Bai family and the Chen family among the four major families, he will definitely be able to defeat the crown prince supported by the Wang family. ”

Chen Yuanheng's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, then our efforts will be successful." Well, this should be planned carefully, how to get the most benefits. I'm going to discuss it with Bai Jiayuan and the four princes. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

In the evening, Chen Wenhui sat alone in her study, looking at a piece of autumn chrysanthemum planted outside the window, and suddenly thought that maybe she didn't have to trade with Chen Wenfeng, and if she wanted to help Yaozhen, it might be better to trade with Bai Yujing. Now through Guò Yaozhen's narration, Liu Yan's mansion has been divided into two factions, Chen Wenfeng's faction, Bai Yujing's faction, Li Shuyu has long fallen to Chen Wenfeng, that is, Wang Yaozhen has not stood in line, and now, Wen Hui feels that Yaozhen can stand in line, and should stand on Bai Yujing's side.

When she added makeup that day, Chen Wenhui discovered that Bai Yujing was a very skillful person, and she was definitely a smart person. Hey, thinking of this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but sigh, Liu Yanchang's good-looking appearance was too much of a advantage. Wherever he went, there were women to help him, and any woman, as soon as she saw him, would think of a way to marry him, and then dedicate her life to him to help him on the road to the prince. Chen Wenfeng is like this, Wang Yaozhen is like this, and this Bai Yujing is also like this.

Fortunately, he was smart and wise, and he was not confused by Liu Yan's beauty. In fact, Wen Hui has long seen Liu Yan clearly. He has feelings for Wen Hui, this is not the kind of relationship that Feiqing does not marry. To be precise, Liu Yan looks like a lover, and he is also very gentle with women, in fact, he is a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, and in his heart, except for his goal, everything else can be sacrificed. This kind of person is exactly what Wen Hui doesn't like. Therefore, Wen Hui was not moved by Liu Yan's affection at all.

But this kind of person also has the advantage of this kind of person, this kind of person is a workaholic, and he is brave enough to move forward for the goal, and it is an unfortunate thing to be married to such a person, but it is the best thing if it is a partner.

Wen Hui thought of this and decided that after her father had discussed with Bai Yujing and Bai Jiayuan, she would go to Bai Yujing to negotiate.
