Huo Hongming of the Black Knife Hall said: "Our news says that the rise of this little Chen family is very fast, and it was unknown a few years ago, at that time, Chen Yuanheng, the father of the Chen family brothers and sisters, was just a concubine of the Chen family's branch in the capital, and was bullied by his brother and mother-in-law. They took their two sons and a daughter away from the capital and arrived in Huzhou, a remote place in the south of the Yangtze River. The land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, that is the prosperity of Suzhou, Huzhou is still a remote place, and his initial official position is very small, just a seven-pin sesame official county magistrate in a remote small county. No money, no power, no power. Not to mention him, even the Chen family at that time was also at the bottom of the five major families. In the Central Plains, the Liu family replaced him and became the emperor, and the other four families still stuck to the clan land. Although we have not been to what is going on in their clan, it is very clearly described in the texts of our ancestors. Their main task is to defend against foreign enemies. Therefore, those four families are constantly at war, and they need the support of the Liu family in the Central Plains, and of course they are also changing the candidates for the successor of the Liu family. Before, several generations were the Li family, and the people of the Wang family did the posterior, the Chen family, and when the current emperor first succeeded to the throne, there was a concubine, Concubine Chen. But the prince she gave birth to died, and soon, she also fell out of favor, the status of the Chen family plummeted, and even the Chen family declined, let alone a concubine of the Chen family. However, this Chen Yuanheng is really amazing, not only did his business do well, accumulated a huge amount of money, but also gradually grasped the power, and continued to promote, first becoming the prefect, and now he is the official of the feudal territory, the assassin of Huzhou. Concubine Chen in the palace also regained favor and became a noble concubine, and the Chen family has become beautiful in recent years. ”

Ding Chuan, as the city lord, knew this, but some of the city lords sitting there didn't know, so they all listened carefully.

Huo Hongming not only controls the Black Iron Army, but also controls the Black Family's assassin battalion, so he naturally has his own set of information channels. Therefore, he knew the most detailed, and at this moment he said in detail: "After the Chen family is prosperous. supported the fourth prince Liu Yan. This Liu Yan was originally a prince from a low background who was not treated by the emperor, and his biological mother died early. But in the past few years, with the support of the Chen family, especially Chen Yuanheng and Chen Guifei, he has now become a prince and has the qualifications to win the treasure. Now this Xiao Chen family. Open sea trade and do business, all in order to support this Liu Yan to take the position. Once we confess the Lord, the first thing we will do is to be drawn into this battle for succession. ”

Leng Letian, the hall master of the calligraphy and painting hall, said: "Look, let me say, if we recognize the lord, we will be involved in the disputes in the Central Plains. In the dynasty of the Central Plains, every time you take the heir, doesn't it set off a bloody storm? ”

Huo Hongming continued: "There is a danger in seizing the heir, we know it from the history books, and the Chen family has experienced it personally, can we not know?" We live far away. Didn't the Chen family deliberately come to us because they knew the danger of seizing the heir, and wanted to leave a way out for themselves? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's nervousness eased, and Ding Chuan said: "If they just want a way out, it's not that we can't agree to their conditions." If they lose, it's a big deal to let them integrate into our black family. We have recruited a wide range of talents, and we have even absorbed the talents among the natives, not to mention such a smart Chen family. For example, that smart girl Chen, if she wants to be the city lord, I can give it to her. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard Ding Chuan say this. If Chen Wenhui comes to be the city lord, I am afraid that many people here will agree, especially those arithmetic maniacs in Jin Mingpu must raise their hands and feet to agree.

Huo Hongming didn't relax and continued: "However, I think that these two brothers and sisters of the Chen family came here to compete first. Then he took out these three treasure books, and he didn't just want to find a way out. For example, now, with the ability of the little girl of the Chen family, she just doesn't take out that book, the Tang shop owner of Jin Ming Shop, are you willing to abdicate and make way for Xian? ”

Tang Guanghui immediately said: "Yes, yes, don't say it's to let the owner of Jinmingpu out, even if you worship her as a teacher, it's no problem." Hey, in this way, there is no need for her to compete like today, and there is no need to take out those three books. ”

Huo Hongming glanced at Tang Guanghui appreciatively, and thought to himself, he is worthy of being a businessman, and his brain is spinning fast.

Leng Lotian of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall said: "Yes, with the ability she revealed yesterday, whether it is entering the Meixiu Hall or entering the Jinming Shop, it will be treated as a baby, where are you afraid that there is no way out, our Hei family is eager to pull her in, where will she refuse, others are afraid of the emperor of the Central Plains, we will not be afraid." Then why did she go to great lengths to compete and take out those three treasure books? ”

Huo Hongming said: "The Chen family has been focusing on sea trade in recent years, I heard that before, in Shanghai City of Dachu, all three brothers and sisters of the Chen family worked in Shanghai City, so it can be said that this sea trade, Shanghai City is the hard work of the Xiao Chen family." So, I guess, the reason why they want us to be loyal for 50 years is not to let us fight for power and profit for them in the Central Plains, but to open up overseas for them. You know, although they have also started sea trade now, it is still much later than us. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard it, outsiders didn't know, even ordinary disciples of the Hei family didn't know, and what the people on Yizhou Island didn't know was that the Hei family had already stepped out of this island, gone to farther places, and even had their own stronghold in Nanyang. They are not completely cut off from the Central Plains Continent, otherwise they would not know the Chen family's experience in the past few years in such detail. They have their own partners. There's something special about this partner.

Huo Hongming continued: "I'm just wondering how the Chen family brothers and sisters knew that we had already left Yizhou Island? ”

This point is indeed not understood by everyone, but now is not the time to pursue this, and the top priority now is to consider whether to serve the Chen family for fifty years.

Zhou Maocai of Heigetang said: "If we only let us help them expand overseas, there is no problem in using our manpower, material resources and even overseas bases, and they will not use us in vain, but can make a profit." We're safer that way. Not only can you use the Chen family, the master, to strengthen exchanges with the Central Plains, learn the advanced culture of the Central Plains, but also make a lot of money, and you will not be involved in the disputes in the Central Plains. In this way, I agree to be loyal to the Chen family for fifty years. ”

Not only did Hei Getang think so, but Leng Lotian of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall also said with a smile: "In this way, we can accept some children from the Central Plains, and I believe that staying in our Hei family for a period of time will definitely become the new blood of our Hei family and strengthen our Hei family." ”

Tang Guanghui of Jinmingpu was even more happy: "The Chen family's means of doing business are even more powerful than our Jinmingpu, you can see that they have made so much money in such a short time, we follow them, we will definitely be able to make more money, we can buy more materials, raise more people, and still worry about prosperity?" ”

The cold and rainy day of Meixiutang also said: "I heard that the capital is the fashion capital of the world, I just want to take a look, even if I let the disciples take a look, anyway, we didn't go as a black family, we went as a member of the Chen family, and it was naturally good when learning things, and if something happened, the Chen family was in the bag?" ”

Everyone was amused by the words of the cold and rainy day.

Ding Chuan said: "Since this is the case, let's do a routine and vote to see if we accept the treasure this time." ”

The Chen brothers and sisters outside have been waiting quietly while admiring the lake and mountains, and of course the two of them are also chatting. Chen Wenhui said: "Brother, this Yizhou Island is vast and sparsely populated, and we have to move more people from the Central Plains to live." That's how we can stand. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "This can't be solved in one day, I have already communicated with Liu Yan, and I have also agreed with my father, and I have also agreed with the clan, Jiangnan and the Chen clan will come one after another." Also, haven't we already brought in a lot of widows? These are very good labors, and we have them to open mines and farm, so we have saved a lot of manpower. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In the future, after we cooperate with the Hei family, we will occupy more and more overseas land, which requires a large number of people, but I don't know if there are so many people willing to come over in the Central Plains?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "The Central Plains is different from before, Chengping for many years, all the wars were resisted by the four clans outside, the Central Plains changed dynasties once, or the bloodless relatives seized power, and the Liu family entered the customs and sat in the world. All, the people multiplied more and more, and the population gradually became denser. The history books say that in the past, every adult man could get a hundred acres of land, but now there is no guarantee of even two acres. So, I think that the ownerless land overseas will definitely be very attractive to the people of the Central Plains, who have no land for a long time. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Chen Wenjun also said: "Besides, although there are fewer wars in the Central Plains, there are droughts and floods one after another. Every time there is a disaster, the people are homeless, of course, it is also a huge burden for the imperial court, after all, it is not easy for the imperial court to feed so many people. You know about the drought this time. In the future, it will not be, and if there is a disaster, we will get the victims overseas, which greatly reduces the pressure on the imperial court and leaves room for the rest of the people to develop. Also, I have long said with Huzhou, where there is still a father in the clan, and the three continents in the south of the Yangtze River in Liu Yankong zhì, to encourage the people to have children, you see, or in fifteen years, there will be an astronomical number of people born, are you still afraid that no one will use it at that time? ”

Wen Hui was about to say something, when suddenly, a housekeeper beside Ding Chuan said very politely: "The city lord invites City Lord Chen and Miss Chen to the building." ”

Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun glanced at each other, and the result was, what is it? The two siblings walked together into the vast building.
