When Chen Wenhui changed into homely clothes, freshened up, removed all the cumbersome ornaments on her head, put a plain face, and began to read, the eldest brother Chen Wenjun returned to Chen Wenhui's yard.

As soon as Chen Wenhui saw his eldest brother, he smelled the smell of wine and said, "It seems that you guys have been drinking again at night." Okay, Yujin, you go and give an order, prepare a decanting soup for the eldest young master, and a gorgeous tea. ”

Yujin hurriedly went to prepare. Chen Wenjun said: "I didn't drink too much. Listen to Meizhen, you went to the black house with her today, right? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, I have negotiated with the Hei family. ”

After speaking, he told the agreement reached between the black family and her. Chen Wenjun smiled and said, "You can really fry oil in your bones." That's amazing. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled proudly. After laughing, Chen Wenhui remembered and asked the eldest brother: "What place did you take them to see today?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I took them to see the city defense today, and tomorrow I plan to see those manors outside the city, and I plan to arrange for them to see the school, hospital, dock, market, and city in the next few days." ”

Chen Wenhui stuck out her tongue and said, "It's really busy." You did it on purpose, didn't you make them look so closely? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "It's not all for you and your second brother, and besides, they are all their own cousins, so it doesn't matter if you show them." I understand what you mean, you want them to see how our city works, so that when you build a city like this in Luzon in the South Seas, they won't stand in the way. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's really worthy of being my eldest brother." So clear what I think. However, although these cousins live inside the mansion, they are not stupid. You said, you and sister-in-law, Brother Ma Mingsong can understand what I mean. Didn't they understand it a long time ago? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Where is there anything I don't understand? They are inferior to you in other aspects, but they are much better than you in house fighting, and the officialdom is much better than you. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and said: "Forget it, you know it, it's not a big deal." This is Yang Mou, although I know that I want to change their minds. But. I think they're very willing to change their mindset. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "We are here to build our family's family business for ourselves. But they didn't build the city for themselves, they built it for the family behind them. For the sake of the emperor, they came to gild. Of course, I also came to learn. You are so generous to give them the opportunity to learn, maybe they will still be grateful to you. Besides, you're trying to subdue them. But is it wrong to subdue them? You were originally the emperor's personal governor of Nanyang, so you naturally governed them. They don't listen to you. It's against the imperial power, do they dare? Of course, they may also be unconvinced and will stumble on you. However, it was all a trick behind the scenes, on the surface. They still have to respect you. The officialdom is very strict, and age is not a problem. Grade is the problem. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's that I'm thinking too much." The main reason is that I haven't been a leader. Forget it, regardless of them, they can understand it, we are a win-win situation, and it is much easier, I can't understand it, I also want to think of ways to let them come according to my wishes, it can also be a win-win situation, but they may be more painful, the process may be more difficult, whatever. Big brother, I want to talk to you about the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I know this. Ever since the emperor said that he would give the interests of the Japanese kingdom to our family, I have been very happy. Both Wa and Yizhou Island are different. The population of the Wa State is large, and there are indeed a lot of silver mines, if we can control the Wa State in our hands, then there will be a steady stream of hired workers, and the use of silver will be too beneficial for our future development. Also, if the Wa Kingdom, Yizhou Island, and Luzon Island are connected, we don't have to be afraid of Da Chu, on the contrary, Da Chu will rely on us as their barrier. We have a place to protect ourselves. Father and mother will be able to retire safely in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes, so, the country must be taken down as much as possible." I'm afraid that the emperor's health has not been good in the past few years, and there will be variables. ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and said, "This is a problem. The people of the Wa Kingdom were large, and the people were ignorant, and they were very loyal to their Wa king, and they were tortured like this, and they were only the lords who opposed them and had the power of arms, and they did not betray the Wa king. It's going to take a long time before I can get all of it into my hands. However, I didn't expect the emperor, who has always been in good health, to suffer such a blow, so it seems that the emperor will not be able to survive for a few years. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he may not like us. However, under normal circumstances, the crown prince will not act rashly in the first few years of his succession, after all, it is the most important thing to stabilize the throne for the first time. So, I've got a few years to go. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What my brother said is very true. I think my brother has a very complete plan, right? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "The plan has been there for a long time, I have been operating the country for many years, and I have long had this heart. At present, there are two plans, one is to control the Wa King, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, use the Wa King as a puppet, and our people as the regents, and gradually eliminate those daimyo and lords. When the people of the Wa Kingdom gradually believe in us and are assimilated by us, the abolition of the Wa King is just a matter of words. This method may be longer-lasting, easier, and less expensive. However, there are many variables. What if, the king of the wo is out of control? In the event of a Ming monarch, and then meet some good generals, assisted by the Wa King, as soon as we respond to the call, our power will be very damaged, and our previous good reputation in the Wa Kingdom will be gone. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Chen Wenjun continued: "The second plan is that we use the banner of Great Chu to attract more people to Yizhou Island, give good welfare to the people in the jurisdiction, gradually win the hearts of the people, and then begin to devour the surrounding territories, and finally gradually include the entire Wa Kingdom." This one is slower, but it's more popular. It's just that we are afraid that the king of the Japanese will start to rebel, or that the nobles of the Japanese kingdom will notice it, unite and unite with the outside world, and we will be more passive. After all, it's on other people's territory, and the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Brother, you have thought through the pros and cons of these two plans. If I had to choose. I think it's better to combine the two boxes. First of all, in the name of Da Chu, let the Wa King listen to us, and then, abolish the current Wa Wang, and find a little child to be a puppet, so that we have a few years of buffer time, and when the child grows up, these years are a good time for us to slowly expand. In case, this child shows signs of Mingjun, immediately replace him, and then replace it with a younger child, anyway, the royal family of the Wa Kingdom has a large population, and he can always find someone suitable to be a puppet. In this way, after a few years, we can slowly devour the whale of the Wa Kingdom, and if there is a rebellion against us in the middle, we will first suppress them in the name of the Wa King. We stand on the moral high ground, and everything is easy to do. ”

Chen Wenjun thought about it, this is also very good, it is more secure, my sister really hates the people of the Japanese country, she has always loved children, and she actually came up with such a way to use children, it seems that my sister does not regard the people of the Japanese country as human beings at all.

Chen Wenhui said: "I think this way is also to stabilize the form of the Japanese state. The war in the Japanese Kingdom affected our family's business. Our money-making treasure mirror workshop, fine wine, preserved fruits, perfumes and other things are our big customers. The market in this country is huge, and I don't want them to disappear. It's better to be able to get it into our hands smoothly, so that we can expand and make money at the same time, how good it is. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "Yes, because of the civil strife in the Silla Peninsula due to the Japanese Kingdom, our business in Shin Kong City has also been affected. If I can stabilize the situation in the Silla Peninsula, we in Xinguang City will be able to make a little more money. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, she and her two brothers could talk about going together. She really wanted to get rid of that nasty nation as soon as possible, and it would be an eyesore to watch.

Chen Wenjun said: "There is one more thing I want to ask you. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Wenjun frowned and asked, "I heard from the people of the Hei family that you spent 100,000 taels of silver to customize a set of armor and weapons for Chongyi?" ”

Chen Wenhui's face immediately turned red. I couldn't speak for a while. Chen Wenjun's brows furrowed even more, and he was already sure in his heart. In this way, my sister's sweetheart is Zhao Chongyi. Although he had long known that his sister was going to marry one day in the future, the fact that this day came so early still made him hate it. But it's normal for a man to marry a woman to get married, although, it's normal for a sister to have a sweetheart too early, and a girl to be precocious. Chen Wenjun is not satisfied with the complicated situation of the Zhao family, Zhao Chongyi's mother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in this case, won't his sister be tortured by her mother-in-law in the future? But looking at Chen Wenhui's appearance, Chen Wenjun's heart softened again, forget it, as long as my sister likes it, let him be, it's a big deal, let the two of them come to Nanyang to live in the future, away from her mother-in-law, by the way, Chen Wenhui is the head of Nanyang, this is the emperor's order, and it is also appropriate not to serve her mother-in-law. Generally speaking, for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, why is it so difficult to solve, because filial piety comes first, even if the mother-in-law is hateful, the daughter-in-law must be filial, or she will not get a reputation for unfilial piety, not only not for herself, not for her husband, not for her children, and even for her mother's family. Therefore, most daughters-in-law choose forbearance. However, when filial piety meets imperial power, it also has to give way. has an official position, and it is normal not to live with your mother-in-law. doesn't live together, Mrs. Zhao is a female streamer in the house, how can she help her sister? Thinking of this, Chen Wenjun suddenly brightened up and said: "This is also as it should be, after all, Chongyi saved your life." Tell me what you need. It's not too early, you should rest early. ”

Chen Wenjun is gone, Chen Wenhui is still in a daze, what is the situation, my brother agreed? (To be continued)
