After the New Year, it was only the tenth day of the first month, and there were already ships coming and going in Xinguang City. Some of these ships belonged to the Chen family, and some belonged to other merchants. Chen Wenhui learned from Green Sprouts that his bank business was very prosperous, so Wan Shuhui had paid off the one million taels of silver owed to Wang Yi and Jusheng Bank before, and now it has become Wenhui's debt to his own bank, so even if he pays interest, he will hand it over to his own bank.

In addition, the dividends of his own industry at the end of the year, many of them were directly given to Wan Shuhui, including the dividends of Shanghai City, and the dividends of Baojingfang were given to his bank to repay his debts, and as a result, he now only has more than 600,000 taels of debts left.

Chen Wenhui smiled, although she had never taken this one million debt seriously, but she was still very happy to know that it had been reduced. After encouraging Green Sprout for a few words, he instructed Green Sprout and Qiu Bi to hand over, and Qiu Bi was ready to go back to Qingyang City.

When Qiu Bi left, Chen Wenhui not only made down jackets for her family's parents, but also brought her parents a lot of Yizhou Island specialties. After finishing all this, Chen Wenjun also transported the grain, salt, sugar, and silk from Yizhou Island to the Chen family, as well as the down jacket for Wenlin, to Shanghai City, ready to be transferred from Shanghai City to the Northeast, but, calculating the time, these things will probably be transported to spring. Chen Wenjun wrote a letter to the patriarch, and in his heart he hoped that the patriarch would keep the names of the prisoners of war as much as possible in the future war against the barbarians, and he offered the patriarch a price to buy the prisoners of war of the Chen clan. In the past, when the Chen people encountered prisoners of war in wars, they all killed them, after all, there was a shortage of food, where did they get the food to feed these prisoners of war? Now that Chen Wenjun has proposed to buy prisoners of war, this will definitely be agreed by the patriarch of the Chen clan, which is tantamount to turning waste into treasure.

When these are all over, it will be the fifteenth day of the first month. At the age of fifteen, Chen Wenjun and Wan Meizhen held a lantern festival in Xinguang City. Of course, most of the lights are made by the black family, so they are beautiful, and they are even better than what Chen Wenhui saw when he was in the Central Plains, Chen Wenjun said. This lantern festival is even more beautiful than the lantern festival in the capital, because there are many novel machine lights, which cannot be made by those skilled craftsmen in the capital.

After the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan, all kinds of commercial activities have been vigorously carried out. The construction of Xinguang City has accelerated the pace, and the natives on the nearby mountains have rented shops in Xinguang City, and some have bought shops, the three major families, the Jinming Shop of the Hei family have bought shops in Xinguang City, and the Xinguang City School of the Hei Family Calligraphy and Painting Institute has also begun to enroll. Those merchants in the Central Plains also bought warehouses and shops in Xinguang City. bought a house, therefore, Shin Kong City for the first time from a loss to a draw. However, the good times were short-lived, and the construction of new roads began. Xinguangcheng fell into a state of loss again, but Chen Wenhui had the backing of the bank and borrowed money on a large scale, so the money was still not nervous.

The Chen family's business also began to do vigorously, and the Qinghe Building in the Black Iron City opened. The response was very good, the Hei family and those natives, the people of the three major families had never eaten such a delicious meal, so the business of Qinghelou has always been full. The merchants of the Central Plains who came and went also began to treat the Japanese and Silla people. The Goguryeo people were sold to Shin Kong Fortress, and then transported by the Chen family fleet in Shin Kong Fortress to Feixia Port, some of which were directly transported to the mines of overseas bases, and some of which were left to work as coolies.

The Hei family tasted the sweetness and became more enthusiastic about cooperating with the Chen family. Chen Wenjun left Yizhou Island. With the Chen family's fleet full of goods from the Central Plains, he went to the Nanyang Hei family's stronghold with the Hei family's fleet.

In Shin Kong City, Wan Meizhen was still in charge of the affairs of the construction of Shin Kong City, and Chen Wenhui was responsible for directing the people left behind by Chen Wenjun to occupy the territory of the Wa Kingdom, transporting the population, buying the population of the Wa Kingdom, supporting the agents of the Chen family, and the Yuejian family and other families to wage war in order to win more prisoners of war. For a time, the Wa Kingdom fell into civil strife.

In addition to these, Chen Wenhui is also responsible for accepting some of the people who migrated from Huzhou by his father, arranging for them to open up wasteland, building houses for them, and distributing food to them, fortunately, the climate of Yizhou Island is warm and humid, and some crops can be harvested quickly, such as some vegetables, and sweet potatoes and the like. Only then did Chen Wenhui breathe a sigh of relief.

When these news reached the Central Plains, those people received letters from their relatives and knew that they had gained a foothold on Yizhou Island in a short period of time, cultivated a large number of fields, and were able to make ends meet, and they were all envious. You must know that these people who go are really poor people who can't live in Huzhou, in such a short period of a few months, they have a family property, a house, a child, and a family business, which is really incredible, in this way, it is more effective than the government propaganda, many people are willing to go to Yizhou to live, and Yizhou suddenly won a dozen migration tides.

This spring, the Bai family in the northwest was also very busy, and the Lan family not only brought cotton seeds, but also brought good hands to plant cotton.

The Chen family in the northeast also lives better, first, the severe cold of winter has passed, the spring is the time to cultivate and start a war with the barbarians, the Chen family after a winter of cultivation, full of food and drink, sharpening knives Huohuo, the barbarians are through the iron wall pass Those imperial army blows life is very difficult, so the first battle in the spring, the Chen family won a big victory, captured a lot of barbarians, in the past, these barbarians were directly killed, this time it was transported to Shanghai City, took a sea ship directly to Xinguang City, sold to Chen Wenjun. Chen Wenhui accepted these people and bought all kinds of food and daily necessities needed by the Chen people with the silver. This was praised by the patriarch of the Chen clan. Of course, along with the captives came a letter from Chen Wenlin. Chen Wenlin wrote that he was now fighting with the team, killing many barbarians, and gradually creating a reputation in the Chen family.

Chen Wenhui is very proud of her second brother, who was a little naïve at the beginning, but now he has grown into a young general.

The Qinghe Building of the Chen family in the Central Plains has always been in good business, and now it has launched a new dish, which is a series of spicy dishes. These dishes with chili peppers are all first, which suddenly stimulated the taste buds of the Central Plains people and pushed the reputation of Qinghelou to a peak again. For a time, there were wealthy merchants from the south to the north of Dachu, and the eunuchs discussed this exciting food. At this time, when all the restaurants and restaurants were about to be angry, the Chen family began to find a cooperative shop and began to sell all kinds of seasonings, not only chili peppers, but also pepper, star anise, spices, nutmeg, etc.

The people of the Central Plains were dazzled by these strange spices for a while, and then they knew that in the south of Dachu, there are so many things that stimulate the taste buds in the land of Nanyang, and they can use these things to make delicious meals. For a time, there was a lot of talk about Yizhou Island and Nanyang.

Shanghai City took the opportunity to launch a route to the South Seas, which immediately attracted many adventurous businessmen. Once again, Shanghai City has won the peak of income.

The most excited person is Liu Yan, who ushered in the birth of another son at this moment. Wang Yaozhen lived up to expectations and gave birth to a son. Although this is a concubine, because he hates Chen Wenhui and Chen Yuanheng and his wife, Liu Yan still held a grand full moon banquet for him.

As the child grew up, Chen Wenhui's maid Cuiqiao also left the palace and went to Yizhou Island. By this time, it was almost autumn. The leaves of the trees in Jiangnan have begun to turn yellow, and Cuiqiao returned to Yizhou Island with Qiubi.

Chen Wenhui was very happy to see her two maids, and pulled them to ask about the situation at home, although the correspondence between her and the family has never been broken, and it can even be said that it is very close, but Chen Wenhui still wants to listen to the description of her two maids.

Cui Qiao said: "When I came, Aunt Wang's son was already full moon, and the prince loved him very much and was very good to Aunt Wang, but the most favored person in the house was not Aunt Wang, but a new aunt named Linghua. She was sent by Li Shuyu's family, probably because Aunt Li has been married for so long and has not been favored by the prince, nor has she given birth to a child, the Li family is in a hurry, so they sent a dancing girl who can sing and dance, I heard that she bought it from Suzhou City with a lot of money. The white concubine in the palace also gave birth to a child, she is a small county lord, and the prince also likes it, because this is the eldest daughter of the prince. Concubine Bai was not very happy, however, it was almost autumn at that time, and I heard that the Bai family in the northwest had a bumper harvest of cotton, and the Lan family had already gone to buy it, and this year, the Bai family's income from cotton alone could be considerable, so the Bai family specially sent a rich gift to express their importance to the eldest daughter of the prince. ”

Cui Qiao just said this, Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "I saw this in my father's letter." Because of the cotton, the Bai family tasted the sweetness, their cotton was going to be sold to the Lan family, the Lan family is our people, we support the Jin prince, naturally they also began to pay attention to their son-in-law. I heard that the patriarch of the Bai family has openly supported Liu Yan. This time, the patriarch of the Chen family and the patriarch of the Bai family supported a prince at the same time. The Li family did not express their position, of course the Wang family supported the prince, but the strength of that family and the strength of the two families cannot be compared, it seems that this time the emperor has a headache. ”

After saying that, she laughed, and several of her maids also laughed, these maids are her henchmen, so they also know about these courts, and they all understand that their family's road to winning the heir is a little more certain, who doesn't want their master family to succeed?
