Chen Ye felt that he was an official, how much official position he could do, he couldn't become a prime minister in his twenties at a young age, did he have to lean towards the government and the opposition and also implement a policy, a thing that is beneficial to the country, through this incident, Chen Ye does not plan to honestly rise from the grassroots level, it doesn't matter if Chen Ye is an official or not. The main thing is to cultivate talents for the country, talent is the first, business is the first, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure.

Chen Ye's enthusiasm for being an official was pushed away, and he just wanted to do business well, reshuffle through business, and control the flow of capital. There is also the army that he is now in charge of, he still has to train well, or dig the canal well, after all, the canal is an indispensable part of his commercial system. Once the canal is dug up, it is not only Chen Ye who will benefit, but the people along the river, who can enjoy the convenience of hundreds of thousands of years.

In the past few days, Chen Ye simply went to the canal to work with the soldiers, and he didn't see anyone directly, as long as he didn't want to see anyone, these soldiers would help Chen Ye stop him. After Chen Ye resigned, Chen Ye didn't care about some difficult cases in the Criminal Department, although Song Ci was taught by Chen Ye, he was still inferior to Chen Ye for some things, so many cases began to pile up slowly, and the efficiency of the Criminal Department began to slowly regress.

Some officials and ambitious people in the court also followed Chen Ye's example and resigned one after another, so the efficiency of a small part of the court began to slow down.

The construction of the canal has a backbone and begins to speed up, and Zheng Xin of Hangzhou also brought a group of people to join in, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

"Brother, I'm not in charge now, I'm building this canal by myself, and I ended up calling you so far away" Chen Ye began to feel a little guilty.

"Why are you talking about this between our brothers, I know brother, you are a person who does great things, no matter what, I support you. Besides, through the section of canal you built before, how many people are grateful to you, and how many people don't have to worry about the disaster of floods, this is a great merit" Zheng Xin gave Chen Ye an affirmative fist.

Chen Ye was very moved in his heart, it was good to have this brother in his life, he could help himself many times, this kind of feeling was pure and not mixed with any impurities. It will not be involved for a little benefit, where this kind of affection is rare, and it must be cherished.

Chen Ye thinks that this kind of life is actually quite good, there is not so much intrigue, there is no deceit, everyone lives simply, and it is not easy to work simply.

On the construction site of the canal, it was hot, and some of his subordinates said that his father-in-law Du Jilong was coming, Chen Ye hurriedly put down the work in his hand and came out to greet him. Fortunately, Du Jilong didn't have any shelves, and the two of them sat together, drinking tea, watching the scene in full swing and the struggle in the court formed a great irony.

"Your fate is not good, if it is troubled times, maybe you can achieve great things. It's a pity, it's an era of peace and stability, it's a pity for you" Du Jilong didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly said this sentence.

Chen Ye was frightened: "Lord Yue, don't talk nonsense, I don't have the intention of being an emperor?" It's also impossible."

"What if that's possible?" Du Kiron continued to ask

"Then I don't want to do it, I'm too tired" Du Jilong was speechless, this should be the first time such a strange reason, that is, because I am too tired to be an emperor, how many people want to be an emperor with their heads squeezed, but you don't want it, but there are some things that you don't want.

Du Jilong was pondering alone, Chen Ye was inexplicable, what the two of us said, you just pondered hard, as if you didn't talk about any important point.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Du Jilong said that the purpose of his trip was that this was the topic that should be discussed between the two of them.

"Does having a baby count?"

"You can't have children?" Du Jilong looked at Chen Ye with strange eyes, thinking in his heart that it was no wonder that Du Lian had been married for so long and had no children, could it be that Chen Ye had a physical problem?

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that Chen Ye had a problem with his body, did he want to find a doctor to take a look, and felt the strange eyes of his father-in-law, and hurriedly explained: "We have nothing wrong", Du Jilong only relieved himself on the surface this time, and decided to take a time to ask Du Lian if he had this problem in the future.

In order to prevent embarrassment, Chen Ye said his purpose, "I want everyone to enjoy fairness, so that everyone in Zhongshan can be fed and clothed, and solve the country's surrounding enemies, I will have a hot kang head for my wife and children, my thoughts may be relatively naïve, that's what I think, I don't need 3,000 beauties in the harem, I just need a few confidants, good for me." ”

"If you follow what you think so much, will Chen Ye have a good end for you?" Du Jilong knows that the consequences of doing this are basically no problem with the founding of the country, even the current majesty can't do it, Chen Ye has such a grand dream, this is a good thing for the people, and it is also a sad thing.

Du Jilong guessed Chen Ye's life experience based on himself, even if Chen Ye did it, wasn't the emperor afraid, and the people under Chen Ye didn't have any other ideas. At that time, Chen Ye couldn't help himself, and some things could not be decided by himself.

"I have a complete plan and filing, and I have already started to do it, but I can't say it now, I think that as long as a person's power or influence is too great, his life is not threatened, and no one dares to touch him, what do you say, Lord Yue" Du Jilong nodded approvingly.

"How can you exert influence if you don't enter the court? It takes time, it takes power" Du Jilong still feels that this matter needs to be slowly figured out.

"No, I don't have that much time, and I don't want to have to sacrifice a lot of offspring on the way to solve the problem, if there is any problem, I will try to solve it. I think the first is business guidance, and the second is to cultivate talents. The change of business needs a lot of talents, and this kind of talent can only be cultivated by me, and I can also cultivate many talents or jinshi, as long as I can control the business of Zhongshan Country and control most of the talents of Zhongshan Kingdom, I can be foolproof" Chen Ye said heroically.

"You were very dangerous at that time," Du Jilong was still worried about this son-in-law who dared to fight.

"Am I not in danger right now?" Chen Ye said such a sentence, Du Jilong thought about it, it is indeed the case, this is not Chen Ye was given poisoned wine by the queen a few days ago. Chen Ye doesn't have any threat now, someone has already killed him, isn't it the same now and in the future?

"How can I help you?" Du Jilong is very fond of Chen Ye, in fact, Du Jilong did not have no dreams when he was young, but his dreams could not be realized because of reality, and now he is old and does not have such a big momentum. Seeing Chen Ye's big wish, he felt that he was very naïve before, if Zhongshan Kingdom realized Chen Ye's vision, then how beautiful the world would be.

"Help me reduce resistance in the officialdom, just support me" Of course, Chen Ye hopes that there will be a large wave of forces in the court to speak for him, and in this way, many places can directly show their cards and pass.

"The people in charge of the canal, which is the whole north and south of the region, try to replace it with our people, so that the speed of the canal will be accelerated, and the canal is an indispensable part of my business system."

"Okay, no problem, I'll discuss with Jianren, and it can be achieved through the exchange of interests"

"Do you have to exchange benefits? Doesn't he see the great value of the canal? Chen Ye asked a little strangely.

"You don't know him as a person, he only has power in his eyes, and he doesn't care about the long-term future, and slowly you will understand it when you get in touch" Du Jilong briefly told Chen Ye about Lu Jianren, and also analyzed other people in the court, Chen Ye learned a lot.

"I'm going to build the academy, you find me a few kilometers of land, I'm going to start construction"

"Is there anything else?"

"No" Chen Ye finished speaking, Du Jilong thought that Chen Ye would say a lot of conditions, Chen Ye directly said that there was no more after speaking, in fact, these things that Chen Ye said need to be accumulated in the early stage, and they can break out when the accumulation is to a certain extent, and there are more problems at that time.

"Your Majesty also asked me what compensation you need?" Du Jilong said that he had come here for another purpose. The emperor wanted to ask Chen Ye what compensation he wanted, and when he said that it was compensation, he actually wanted to ask Chen Ye what conditions he had, as long as it was not too much, it could be achieved.

"I want to meet Ouyang Zi as a teacher" Chen Ye's words made Du Jilong a little embarrassed.

"It's not hard, is it?"

"Virtuous son-in-law, you don't know, Ouyang Zi has decided not to accept disciples, your request to the emperor now does seem to be a little difficult to achieve, back then His Majesty wanted the prince to worship under Ouyang Zi, and directly refused in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, which made His Majesty very faceless.

After listening to what his father-in-law said, Chen Ye originally thought that his request was very simple, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to achieve.

"Then why is Ouyang Zi so supportive of the crown prince?"

"It's compensation, it's compensation for Your Majesty's face, Ouyang Zi has read a lot, this person is a little stubborn and a little strange, he always thinks that the prince should be the emperor anyway, the prince is not very smart, it is okay to have a smart minister, and he advocates restricting the emperor's rights. So ......"

"So this is a political transaction" Chen Ye himself didn't expect that there was such a story behind this matter, I said why Ouyang Zi supported the prince so much, Ouyang Zi's character would definitely not support the second prince, the second prince was too tough, the second prince was definitely not particularly obedient to Ouyang Zi after he ascended the throne, and the second prince was still relatively good at unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the second prince would definitely be reckless after he ascended the throne, which was not a good thing for Zhongshan in the long run.

The crown prince is not a particularly strong person by nature, but this kind of emperor will listen more to the opinions of the courtiers below, and the courtiers can better express their opinions.

What Du Jilong thought about was whether he could pull Ouyang Zi into Chen Ye's camp, and with Ouyang Zi recognizing Chen Ye, Chen Ye's power would definitely increase greatly.
