Chen Wenhui began to think seriously about her plan. Although I didn't discuss it with my brother, I listened to my brother's meaning, and it seemed that he thought the same way.

Chen Wenhui felt that she needed to find an opportunity to talk to her brother about this matter, and how to do it in order to benefit from the competition between the emperor and the Chen family and gain more freedom.

On this day, it just so happened that Chen Wenjun didn't leave at home, Wan Meizhen had already gone to the dock, and Chen Wenhui found Chen Wenjun and expressed his doubts.

Chen Wenjun said: "Actually, I have already discussed it with my father. My father agreed with me. Although we are now powerful, powerful and rich, but this qiē is a mirror, and the emperor will give an order, and we will fall apart at any time. So, my father and I wanted to have the power to protect ourselves. We have considered before, the road to seize the heir is full of dangers, and it may be wiped out at any time, what will our family do at that time? What about these people who follow us? At that time, we were thinking that if things didn't work out, we would return to the Chen family's clan land, anyway, we had money, and now we had obtained the position of elder again, even if it was in the Chen family, we could live a good life. However, now, because I have traveled more overseas, I am no longer satisfied with curling up in the Chen family's land. I wanted to lay a piece of land with my own hands and give the tired Chen family a place to rest. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned: "Brother, are you saying that we are going to fight the world for the Chen family?" ”

Chen Wenjun said: "You haven't been to the clan land, you don't know where the situation is. There is no such thing as peace, there is a daily war there, and everyone is doing their best to contribute to the defense against the barbarians. In the Chen family's clan land, our Chen family is not a nobleman, we are just the main family, and the people of our Chen family do not live in high-rise buildings, nor do they wear precious thick clothes, and all our money and strength are used in war. The territory of our Chen clan is located in the northeast. Summers are short, winters are cold, and it's as cold as you can imagine. Heavy snow can wipe people out. In such a place, the grain production is not high. We can only grow one crop a year, and we have no extra food, so we can only rob them like the barbarians. They have nothing to eat and will come and rob us, and we have nothing to eat and will come and rob them. In this way you fight me, I fight you, and the war continues. There are very few concubines in the Chen clan. Most of them live a monogamous life, of course, there are very few widows, and if her husband dies in battle, the clan will remarry for her. We don't learn those things from Confucianism. What we are learning is something that has been handed down by Emperor Guanglie, which is said to be a book of Legalism. I have seen the blood of too many brothers and uncles in the clan land, and I have seen too many people who are cold and hungry, and I thought that if there was a piece of land where the wounded people of the Chen tribe could heal their wounds, and if there was a piece of land that could provide enough food for the people of the Chen tribe, we would definitely be stronger. The people who will surely defeat the barbarians will definitely be able to expel them. ”

Chen Wenhui thought to herself, is this Chen clan land in the northeast? This place, Chen Wenhui also went there in his previous life, and deliberately went there to ski in winter, of course he knew the cold there. I know that it is spring planting and autumn harvesting, and there is only one crop a year. However, the grain produced in the northeast is generally of good quality because of the slow growing season. In her previous life, Chen Wenhui only ate rice from the Northeast.

Chen Wenjun continued: "In the past, my father always longed for the clan land, because he used to go there when he was young. I didn't know about it at the time. Later, I went to the clan land and found that it was really a good place, although there was no rich products, no entertainment, no singing, dancing and feasting, no luxury in the capital, and no comfort in the south of the Yangtze River, but the people there lived very well. I still want to go back to living in the clan land. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "But I don't have any feelings for the clan, and the clan didn't come to help us when our family was in trouble, and now we have the ability to contribute to the clan, why?" Even if it's because we're from the Chen family, but the last time we sold the patent, we gave millions of taels to the clan at once? Also, is there no one of our people who can reach out to the sea trade? Can you get so many dividends all at once? This year, the clan can have a good year with these dividends. I bought a lot of food, cloth, and daily necessities. Aren't we contributing enough? Compared with the uncle and the second uncle in the capital, we have contributed too much. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: "Yes, our contribution is much more than that of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, you don't know, their status in the clan is very low, don't look at them in the capital They are regarded as representatives of the Chen family, respected by others, and clothed and fed, in fact, they are placed outside to confuse the world." It is our father who really represents the Chen family outside, this is not only now, it is because my father has not yet married, and our brothers and sisters have not yet been born. ”

This Wen Hui didn't know, and looked at her brother curiously. Chen Wenjun said: "In a big family like ours, the power is in the clan land. We are the emperor ourselves in the clan land, and we can manage every qiē thing in the clan land, even if the holy decree comes, we can ignore it. But we still need manpower outside the clan land, communicate with the imperial court, manage news channels, and marry with the big families, as well as civil and military officials, in order to rely on. After all, we are facing aliens, and we can't do it without the support of the Central Plains. In the past, it was our grandfather who was in charge of the affairs of our Chen family. Therefore, our eldest aunt married into the palace and became the imperial concubine, and our second and third aunts all married into noble families. Our eldest uncle and second uncle are married to women from a family. Even our fathers are married to mothers from the Bai family. When it comes to the generation of the uncles, the clan is very optimistic about the eldest uncle and the second uncle, they are too stupid, too incompetent, and they are used to being authentic children by their grandmothers, who only know how to drink and beautie, where do they know how to take on the great responsibility of the Chen family. In fact, there are things like this, every family has them, and they are good in the clan land, after coming to the Central Plains, they entered the capital, and slowly became corrupted and changed, so, for this situation, generally, there are two choices in the clan, or send another family to take over the grandfather's position, and then let the uncles return to the clan land, if the uncles don't stay in the capital, eat and wait for death, when a real gentleman is counted, but our Chen family's manpower outside will definitely send someone to take over. Just like the Bai family, the mother's room has lost one after another, and now the Bai family has sent new people to take over, that is, Bai Jiayuan's room, including the fourth concubine, are all Bai Jiayuan's people in their room. Our Chen family was going to change more than ten years ago, but as a result, my grandfather didn't give up, and deliberately found an opportunity for our father to go to the clan field to hang around, and as a result, my father's ability was very appreciated by the patriarch, so he secretly selected the next person to succeed my grandfather to my father. ”

This is shocking news. However, Chen Wenhui thought about it, so it would be explained why Chen Yuanheng had such a good news network all along, and everything in the capital was in Chen Yuanheng's hands. Also, why, the people under Chen Yuanheng are all so powerful, such as Chen Cai's big housekeeper, such as Feiguang, Yin Hong, Ziyu, Qingshuang, and Qingjian, etc., how can the top of these slaves be in the hands of one of his father's concubines.

Chen Wenhui thought of this and said, "Then our father is a concubine?" Why would the patriarch be willing to marry this important task to his father? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "It's very simple, because there is no distinction between descendants and concubines in the clan. ”

This made Chen Wenhui very surprised, Chen Wenjun smiled mysteriously: "There are very few concubines in the clan, so the distinction between concubines and concubines is not strict, and most of the clans live a monogamous life. ”

Chen Wenhui was dumbfounded. Indeed, if there is no concubine, where is there a distinction between concubines?

Chen Wenjun said: "Our father is a concubine who everyone looks down on in the capital, but in the clan land, as long as you are a disciple of the Chen family, you will be appointed if you have the ability." Therefore, my father can master the huge energy and command the Chen family's news network outside, so we can live like a fish in water in Jiangnan. How can we say that the tribe did not help us in our troubles? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Well, no wonder, my mother is always the first to know the fashion news in Beijing, and after so many years in Jiangnan, she is not outdated in dressing." ”

Chen Wenjun laughed and said, "This can be regarded as a mother who took advantage of his father's news Internet café." By the way, because of our restaurant and the Cuijin Building you made, our news network has been further expanded, and the clan is very satisfied. Later, we also contributed so much silver to the clan, and there was sea trade, and our contribution directly made my father from an ordinary disciple who was in charge of the external affairs of the Chen clan to an elder of the Chen clan, so we have become independent from our grandfather's family and set up our own house. ”

Chen Wenhui was surprised: "Is our grandfather still alive?" We have not separated from the eldest uncle and the second uncle, so how can we set up our own house? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "The method of managing the clansmen used in our clan land is still handed down by Emperor Guanglie back then, regardless of the elder and younger, only in terms of talent. There is also a whole set of reward and punishment system, and you will know it when you have the opportunity to go to the clan land in the future, which is a very complicated system. The patriarch is not a family member all the time, but accumulates with the people in his own room. For example, the current patriarch, his father is not a patriarch, but an elder. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but support his forehead, this Fusu is really everywhere, it's just that he has managed the five major families well, why has his own family long since declined?

Chen Wenhui suddenly thought of a question and said: "Brother, you have such a deep affection for the Chen family, and you always think about the Chen family, do you want our father to be the patriarch?" ”

Chen Wenjun said meaningfully: "My father will not be the patriarch, my father is the elder of the Chen clan, but have you forgotten the current patriarch?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought, the father of the current patriarch is an elder, ah? No way? Chen Wenhui's eyes widened: "Brother, do you want to be the patriarch?" ”
