The third uncle sighed and said: "It can be seen that Your Majesty is at ease with you, our Chen family has finally escaped this catastrophe, hey, thanks to Zhengtai, who made him a disciple of His Majesty, Your Majesty has so many sons, but there is only one protégé."

The third uncle's eyebrows danced: "I never imagined that our Chen family will have a day when the salted fish will turn over, Zhengtai, you must seize this opportunity, whether you can cheer up the family and shine on the lintel, it's up to you."

Chen Zhengtai subconsciously said: "Third uncle, don't you say that our Chen family can't be officials?" ”

The third uncle squinted his eyes, trying to make his eyes shine with wisdom: "This time, that time." Li Erlang has the best reputation, and he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, so he ...... As long as we are sure that you are his protégé, the Chen family can enter the office with peace of mind, and in this way, it is not disgraceful to the lintel. The only thing the old man is worried about now is that our family Zhengtai is too honest, and he doesn't know how to slap the horse, and it is inevitable that he will inherit the upright character of our Chen family, and he will offend that Li Erlang when the time comes, hey...... Zhengtai, you must know that the most important thing in being a person is to know how to be flexible. ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "I will definitely study hard. ”

The third uncle was very relieved and made a sound of praise.

Then, the third uncle looked at Chen Jiye and said, "Jiye, now you are going to the salt and iron envoy to be on duty, but I am afraid that this family will ...... I can't take care of it, the old man thinks about it, Zhengtai has grown up, it's time to take on the family business, you might as well call the uncles and elders in each room, everyone get together, in front of everyone, let everyone be a witness, and hand over this business to Zhengtai to take care of. ”

Chen Jiye felt that what the third uncle said was very reasonable, and he was busy.

The next day, the Chen family gathered again.

They all heard the wind, and many of them straightened their backs.

Many old people who have passed the ancient age also came, and when they arrived at the ancestral hall, the children and grandchildren knelt down to worship their ancestors, and then Chen Jiye Zheng'er passed on the family business to Chen Zhengtai.

After a while, many people dispersed.

The third uncle pulled Chen Jiye and Chen Zhengtai to sit high in the ancestral hall, he looked very pleased, and repeatedly said that the ancestors were fortunate and so on.

Father Chen also cheered up: "Then the third uncle, now, the nephew needs to take care of the salt and iron envoys, since Zhengtai has come to be the family, then you say, ...... next"

"Next......" The third uncle closed his eyes: "In this regard, salt and iron make it fat, so naturally we must be extra cautious, and we must not let people grasp the handle." In this second aspect, the current crown prince Li Chengqian's position is stable, and sooner or later in the future he will have to overcome the unification, if he can befriend Li Chengqian, the revival of our Chen family is just around the corner. ”

Call...... Father Chen thought about it, and his heart warmed up again, to be honest, he was quite afraid of settling accounts after the autumn at the beginning, so he was afraid that the Chen family would be officials, but now, it seems to be different, it seems to be ...... The glory of the Chen family is coming back again, and he nodded his head: "The third uncle is far-sighted and understands everything."

Chen Zhengtai stood aside, looking confused, and he was ......

The third uncle and father were only male yesterday, and their IQ dropped today.

Do you want to tell them that Li Chengqian in history tried to force the palace to rebel, and finally ended up in solitary confinement? And Li Chengqian was a henchman, and in the end he was all wiped out?

What a sinkhole!

Chen Zhengtai grimaced and said, "Third uncle, my lord, is enough to say?"

"What?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Since the emperor has appointed the lord as the salt and iron envoy, then the lord is subject to the king's favor, so he naturally has to be diligent in the king's affairs and be on duty with peace of mind." As for the third uncle, you are old, you should take care of your old age, and it is better not to worry about the affairs of this family. ”

Father Chen was a little confused.

The third uncle's face changed, and with his years of experience in intrigue, the situation seemed to be a little bad.

Chen Zhengtai said that, and suddenly yelled: "Chen Fu, Chen Fu, you dog thing, come over to me."

This loud roar instantly made Chen's father and third uncle tremble.

Chen Fu hurriedly trotted forward: "Gong...... What does Childe command?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "From now on, follow me to clear up the people and land in this family, and the housekeepers and accounts of the family must all sort out the accounts clearly, and not a penny will be missing."

Chen Fu subconsciously glanced at Father Chen.

Father Chen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

The third uncle seems to feel that his face is a little unbearable, but the eldest husband can bend and stretch, no matter what, Chen Zhengtai is also the grandson of the eldest family, not to mention the ...... It seems that Chen Zhengtai has come to take care of the family business, which is witnessed by the whole Chen family.

But...... How do you feel that CHINT is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge......

Chen Zhengtai ignored them, but said to Chen Fununu: "Follow me."

The master and servant, one in front of the other, left.

Chen Zhengtai actually didn't want to give his father and third uncle a look, but before he had to run naked and eat dung, and then he pondered to attach himself to the prince Li Chengqian, these two sinkholes, sooner or later, they will let themselves fall into the streets in the future, they can't count on it, the Chen family has to be their own master, to grasp the initiative, they must show their strong side, anyway, I, Chen Zhengtai, am in charge, what's the matter, who dares to disagree?

As soon as Chen Zhengtai left, only Chen's father and third uncle were left in place.

The two looked at each other and looked at each other.

Father Chen said embarrassed and difficult: "Third uncle, ......what do you say?"

"Ignore me." The third uncle glared at him: "The old man doesn't want to pay attention to you now."

"This ...... Why?" Father Chen was a little confused.

The third uncle said with a straight face: "The old man has already seen it, you are indecisive, except for reading and making articles, you are useless, Zhengtai is better than you, oops, I said that Zhengtai has a strong posture, it is the tiger of our Chen family!"

After that, he shouted at Chen Zhengtai's back: "Zhengtai, Zhengtai, my virtuous grandson, and wait, wait."

A cigarette slipped and chased after him.

Chen's father: "......"

............

Chen Zhengtai is feeling good now, the third uncle happily surrounds him, and the housekeepers and bookkeepers are obedient and obedient, and they go to check the accounts.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be the head of the family......

The third uncle took a sip of tea excitedly: "Zhengtai, they all say that three years old looks big, five years old looks old, the ancients don't deceive me." When you were still an infant, the old man thought you were very extraordinary, one thing, you also know, your cousin Chen Zhengde, has nothing to do all day long, you see...... Is it to find him something to do, lest he fly eagles and dogs all day long, and look upset. ”

Chen Zhengde is the grandson of the third uncle.

is counted as Chen Zhengtai's cousin.

Now that the third uncle is begging for help, he still has to give face.

"Third uncle, don't worry, let Zhengde come tomorrow, I will naturally arrange a good errand for him."

The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief: "He is the best at arithmetic, and I think it is very suitable to manage the accounts."

Chen Zhengtai frowned: "This can't be done, I have a good errand for him, just call him tomorrow."

When the third uncle heard it, he was very pleased, and it was worthy of the old man who suggested that Zhengtai come to be the family.

Better than his father.

The third uncle nodded his head with a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, okay, I'll call this kid tomorrow, but there is a saying, I don't know if to ask, I don't know what this fat difference is?"

"Pig farming." Chen Zhengtai said sincerely.

The third uncle's face changed suddenly.

"Well, now the sow is happy, and soon it will be born. In addition to the need for care of the piglet, the postpartum care of the sow is also important. On the other hand, this pig raising is beneficial to the country and the people, our Chen family is a hairpin family, rich and noble for generations, and today it is peaceful, but the people's livelihood is withering, the people are not clothed, and they are hungry, how can the Chen family sit idly by? Therefore, the third uncle, this pig raising is the top priority of our Chen family, and the piglets will be treasures in the future, worth tens of thousands of gold, let others take care of them, after all, I don't feel at ease. After all, Ma Zhou still has to be on duty, and he can't take care of it, Zhengde is my brother, how can I Chen Zhengtai treat my brother badly, such a big task will be handed over to him in the future. ”

The third uncle felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he opened his mouth to say something...... But I feel tired. Although he is not a descendant in this house, the old man is also a man with a head and a face, and his grandson goes to raise pigs......

This......

Chen Zhengtai is very busy now, and he has no time to discuss the great truth of raising pigs to get rich with his third uncle, this is the Rongchang pig, once it is raised and promoted in the future, it will be the king of pigs. What's more, Rongchang pig also has the reputation of the little prince of the white horse among the pigs.

Think about it, in the pig breeding industry of Datang, suddenly a new pig breed was born, they are beautiful, a talent, fast meat, the same pigweed and feed, the meat rate is much higher than those ugly and thin peers, and the meat is delicious, which is a gratifying thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty who can't eat a mouthful of meat all year round.

And whoever raises these pigs will be the king of the pig breeding industry in the future, of course, the third uncle does not understand, and it is difficult for him to explain it.

Chen Zhengtai took advantage of the prostration of the third uncle's face, and the whole person was still in the fugue kung fu, so he ran away as soon as he slipped away.

took Chen Fu and checked the accounts of the Chen family.

Sure enough, as Chen Zhengtai expected.

The Chen family owns tens of thousands of acres of land in Chang'an and Mengjin, but in fact, the income from the land is very low.

As for the Chen family's shop in Chang'an, most of them are not well managed.

It can be said that although the Chen family has a large family business, it also spends a lot of money, in fact, there is already a deficit in the accounts.

His father doesn't have many business genes at all, and if he continues like this, he will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Chen Zhengtai looked at the accounts, couldn't help but sweat coldly, and couldn't help gritting his teeth......

Early the next morning, Chen Zhengtai got up and led Chen Fu to Chang'an to check on Chen's shop.

This place is located in Yongchunfang, and the shop is not small, and it is sold...... It's just some groceries, a few guys, actually quite talented in mathematics, squatting on the ground and counting ants, looking bored.

Chen Zhengtai's eyes straightened when he saw it.

This is the legendary grinder?

This is the Chen family's money.

So with a straight face, looking like he was going to kill, the shopkeeper inside was busy coming out and saluting Chen Zhengtai: "I've seen the son."

Chen Zhengtai put on a high-minded look, no way, he is still young, if he doesn't do this, there is no way to be awe-inspiring: "The account of the shop, I looked at it, not only did it not make a profit, but it also lost money, Li Xiao, my father is not thin on you on weekdays, is this how you do things?"

The shopkeeper's name is Li Xiao, and he suddenly stiffened his head and said with an embarrassed face: "This ...... This ......"

He actually knows a little bit about the head of the Chen family, as if now this Chen Gongzi is beginning to control the power of the family, and now when he sees this Chen Gongzi personally coming to inspect the shop, he chuckles in his heart, isn't it..... Once a son of heaven and a courtier.

Li Xiao coped carefully: "The business has not been very good recently......

Chen Zhengtai said: "A few years ago, this shop could make more than 30 profits per month, but now, the monthly profit is not even 10% of the past."

Li Xiao was already sweating, and sure enough, the son of the Chen family came to clean up his own.

Chen Zhengtai hated these people for not being angry, and when he thought of this group of guys eating the Chen family's food and grinding foreign workers, he hated it in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Bastard, such a good shop, are you tossed like this?"

Li Xiao was already a little panicked.

Really......

He hurriedly said: "Childe, the shop is ......"
