Chen Yuanheng said: "This trip has touched me a lot. When I arrived in Shanghai, I saw the new way of sea trade, the endless ships in the port, and the prosperous market in Shanghai, and I already felt that Princess Lichuan and his wife were really talented, how could they manage the city so well. Later, I went to Shin Kong City. This is the city governed by my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. I was even more emotional. This city is not only as prosperous as Shanghai, but also has a good integration of various ethnic groups. The rich nightlife, snacks, various nationalities, and tribes are so harmonious, which really makes me very proud of my son and daughter-in-law. However, when I arrived in Qingchun City, it was only one day, and I felt that those Shanghai cities and Xinguang City and the like still could not be compared with the city governed by my daughter. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I'm smarter than my brothers." ”

Chen Wenjun said: "I haven't been to Qingchun City before, and now I regret it, I should have brought Meizhen over earlier, this governance method is different from ours, and this governance method is the most correct." We should have come early to learn. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law has already managed very well, where you need to learn from me." ”

Wan Meizhen said: "What my husband said is very right, I also regret not coming to Qingchun City earlier, this is my ideal city, I have to ask for advice more like my sister these days, and I will also reform our Xinguang City when I go back." ”

Chen Wenhui is also humble. Chen Yuanheng has already said: "In the past, when I read the books of sages, I often wondered in my heart, can the moral society mentioned in the book be realized? However, the reality is very cruel. Da Chu is strong though. However, there are also many internal and external troubles. The four major families dominate one side. not only controls the frontier of Dachu, but also often interferes in the government affairs of Dachu. Imperial power is often hollowed out. When I was young, I traveled around the four major families, met and communicated with the patriarchs. The life of the four major families is not easy, they have been defending Da Chu against foreign enemies for a long time, and they are also living a hard life. In order to preserve their strength, there is no way, they can only guard the clan land, fight with foreign clans, and at the same time send the daughter of the family to the palace to marry the royal family. In addition to these. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in Dachu. After officials became officials, they were not thinking about how to manage the people and how to seek welfare for the people, but how to be corrupt and take bribes. How to dig three feet into the ground. How to get promoted. How to stand in line. Every dynasty has to experience the tragedy of seizing the heir, when will it end? ”

Liu Jingyuan didn't expect Chen Yuanheng to say these words to him. Although the relationship between himself and Xiao Chen's family has always been very good. But he is the prince's henchman, and the whole Da Chu knows this. Chen Yuanheng's words are actually very inappropriate for the prince to know. However, Chen Yuanheng said. Of course, Chen Yuanheng was in a good mood today and drank a little more wine, but this little bit of wine would not make Chen Yuanheng drunk, and he would not say unnecessary things in front of unnecessary people without measure. Moreover, neither Bai nor Chen Wenjun interrupted Chen Yuanheng's words, which shows that they also think that they can listen to these words. Then there are two possibilities. One is that they really treat him as their own, although they don't shy away from it. The second is that they think that they may also be cooked by rabbits and dogs in the future, and once the crown prince becomes emperor, they may be in power, or they may end up miserable one day. This is not difficult to find in history. It can be regarded as normal, Liu Jingyuan has long been mentally prepared.

Now it seems possible that there is a possibility of both. Xiao Chen's family is also a hero from the dragon. However, their family is working so hard to manage overseas forces, which is seeking a way out. But what about yourself? He was born as a businessman, has no power, no way out, every qiē was given to him by the crown prince Liu Yan, once Liu Yan deals with him one day, he will really die without a place to be buried. This may be that the people of the Xiao Chen family are hinting to themselves on Mingzhu's face that this can be their own retreat. Thinking of this, Liu Jingyuan suddenly thought that when he just entered the door, Chen Yuanheng inadvertently asked Chen Wenhui if there was a courtyard where Chen Yuanheng and his wife lived. Didn't Chen Wenhui say that there is still a yard where her husband and wife live? How could I not think of such an obvious hint? It's really a fan of the authorities.

Gratitude rose in Liu Jingyuan's heart.

These psychological thoughts were actually just a moment, Liu Jingyuan said: "Back then, I studied with the prince in the Guozijian and saw many ugly phenomena in the capital, and we all vowed that we must change the world with ideas." Now, the crown prince has become the prince, and I am also a high-ranking official, but these phenomena still exist, our ability is not enough, and the higher we stand, the more we find that it is difficult to return to the great Chu, and it is difficult to change. Once a major change is carried out, I am afraid that those of us who lead the change will not be able to resist the counterattack of the entire bureaucratic aristocracy, and there will be no place for death. In the past, I would still rely on the book business to be angry, but now that I have a wife and children at home, where can I still have that courage. Besides, none of us are outsiders here. The crown prince and I were tired of the tragedy of the palace at that time. But now? We succeeded in seizing the heir, pulled the former prince down, and the third prince also pulled down, but didn't we take the heir? As you all know, the Prince's Mansion is not peaceful. The crown princess of the Chen family and Bai Liangdi of the Bai family compete for favor, and the concubine born by the crown princess and the imperial grandson born by Bai Liangdi have begun to win the heir at such a young age. Hehe, it's really not interesting. ”

Chen Wenjun's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Chen Yuanheng, Bai and Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui looked at the stunned Mingzhu and said, "Don't worry, although I have a lot of spies from all walks of life in Qingchun City, my City Lord's Mansion is still monolithic. ”

Chen Wenjun nodded.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Jingyuan, you are really a smart person. Now that the truth is understood, do you want to create a way out for Mingzhu's mother and son in the future? ”

Mingzhu looked at Liu Jingyuan eagerly. Liu Jingyuan smiled at Mingzhu and said, "This is nature. I just don't want my life, and I can't want the lives of Mingzhu's mother and son. Sister Wen Hui has already prepared a yard for us, and I naturally want to take Mingzhu's children to live in this wonderful city in the future. However, I think it's better to ask Sister Wen Hui to buy us a house and property in Qingchun City. ”

Mingzhu was very happy and said, "Actually, I have already purchased this." Before, I sent Wan Liang's family to Qingchun City, and there is already a big mansion with five entrances here, as well as a big garden, all of which were designed by Wen Hui for me to invite the master of the Hei family. Although it is not as beautiful as the City Lord's Mansion, it is much better than the mansion in our capital. In addition, a large estate of 3,000 acres was purchased outside the city, and a tea garden of 5,000 acres was also purchased in the Acropolis. I think it's enough for my children and grandchildren to live. By the way, in the city, I also asked Wan Liang to buy ten shops, one of which is dealing in our family's tea, and by the way, I bought some specialties from Qingchun City, and the other nine have already been rented out. ”

Liu Jingyuan was dumbfounded: "Why don't I know any of this?" ”

Mingzhu smiled and said: "You are busy with the affairs of the yamen every day, you come home very late, and you don't even have time to watch the children, where can you take care of the housework." How many acres of tea are there in our tea garden? What is the gain in a year? How much tea did we sell in Dachu? How much tea was sold in the sea trade? In Yizhou Island, I also bought a tea garden and shop? We also have shops in Shanghai City. Where have you ever taken care of these things? Even if I tell you sometimes, you just tell me that I can just watch it myself, and I don't need to sue you. ”

Liu Jingyuan suddenly felt very sorry for Mingzhu, since Mingzhu married him, he didn't seem to have been idle for a day, serving the elderly, taking care of his sister-in-law, having children, taking care of the housework, and managing the entire family industry. In the past few years, although he has not asked about housework, it can be seen from the clothes of his family, the furnishings at home, and the luxury of his family that Mingzhu should have made a lot of money by carrying forward his family's tea garden. However, he didn't expect to make so much money, and there were shops in Xinguang City, Shanghai City, and Qingchun City. Especially in Qingchun City, there are still houses and manors?

No wonder his father always told him that he married a treasure, and he really married a treasure.

Liu Jingyuan said emotionally: "Mingzhu, I really didn't expect you to take care of your home so well, you must have worked very hard." In the past few years, I have been negligent. ”

Mingzhu blushed.

Chen Wenhui suddenly said: "Okay, don't show affection in front of the elders." ”

One sentence made Liu Jingyuan and Mingzhu's faces flush, and Chen Wenlin said: "The good atmosphere has been ruined by my sister's words." ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "How is it destroyed, my father's words are not finished yet, I still want to hear it, this Brother Liu has pulled out such a lot, and he has shaken off all the wealth of your family." What are you doing, showing off your wealth? ”

Liu Jingyuan laughed and said, "Where does our family dare to show off their wealth in front of you?" You're a rich man. By the way, Mingzhu, since our family has a house here, why didn't you take me to our own house to have a look? ”

Mingzhu said: "I communicated with Wen Hui before. Her opinion is that there are a lot of officials coming together this time, and it is better not to let people know about the fact that we have an industry in Qingchun City. That's why I didn't tell you. None of our properties here are registered in our name, but in the name of Wan Liang. ”

For Wanliang Liu Jingyuan knows, from Huzhou to the capital, he is honest and loyal. Chen Wenhui's thinking is very right, this time there are a lot of personnel, it is very complicated, it is better not to expose too much, for the prince Liu Yan, Liu Jingyuan is becoming more and more incomprehensible now, it is better to guard against it. As for registering Wan Liang's name, whether he is afraid of Wan Liang being swallowed up, this is no problem. First, Wan Liang is very loyal, and secondly, this city belongs to Chen Wenhui, if a house slave dares to swallow Mingzhu's family property, can Chen Wenhui sit idly by? (To be continued......)
