Chapter 148: Tree Rings
Chen Ji went out with Chen Xiushe, and several people in the courtyard came around, Chen Xiushe said a few words of encouragement and left with people. The brothers gathered to Chen Ji's side again, and they stopped talking. It didn't take long, but I was inexplicably familiar with it.
Chen Ji looked at the faces of several guys, how could he not know what they wanted to ask, and immediately stretched out his palm, and said with horizontal eyebrows: "I really ate a meal of precepts."
Chen Shi took over, "Blame me for this." In fact, it is a bit of "schadenfreude", and they have not experienced the concerned greetings of their elders. Among them, he is the most experienced, and as an elder brother, he should not only set a good example, but also may give his brothers all kinds of "warnings".
Even if he has an official body and is a father now, Chen Shi is still a big playful in his own family and brothers.
Chen Ji sighed helplessly, and the funny part was skipped.
——
In the blink of an eye, the sky is turning cold.
Chen Ji's vacant house in the old mansion was still not vacated, and the clansmen who occupied the house said at the beginning that they had more or less looked for him in private, or if they asked the clan, but under the righteousness, it seemed that it was wrong for him to come back. On the other hand, Chen Ji is not aware of the many involvements within the Chen family for the time being, and he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism for a while, after all, Chen Xiujie's ability to "hide and hide" for family affairs.
Chen Ji's focus seems to have shifted elsewhere. In November, Chen Ji participated in a literary meeting organized by the Dengzhou Han Society, but there was not much affection for the landscape, but after receiving a reply from Xue Jin, who went to Guizhou to be an official, everyone summed it up, thinking that Chen Ji should be informed.
As a result, the discussion was about the subsequent publication of the "Stone Record". Chen Ji didn't want to conflict with the people in Jinan for a while, whether it was reputation or silver, as long as there was nothing to do, he didn't mind much.
After the "Stone Record" printed in Qingzhou spread, in addition to the initial wave of pioneers, there have been many pirated copies since then, and there is not much possibility to make money. But the heat really didn't drop much, so after Dengzhou settled down, Manager Chen planned to continue to start the days of copying the public. Limited to the level, he just listed the story outline in as much detail as possible, and then handed over the work to the members of the Han Society. By the end of the month, the one hundred and first sequel would be available.
According to Chen Ji's plan, this "Stone Record" will be roughly disassembled into nearly 200 times in the end, so there will be 100 times of work in Dengzhou, which is a big project.
Dengzhou Hanshe originally rented a bookstore in the county, but after Chen Ji came over, he directly poured the family's shop over, with a shop in front and a small courtyard in the back, but he planned to make a "guild hall". After all, there are no big names in the Han Society, and it is impossible to rely on a certain academy to teach and develop, so we have to borrow the form of a guild hall to recruit talents as much as possible.
However, the purpose of the Han Society is to give priority to learning, and the purpose of Chen Ji is to be a training institution, and the reader is the most willing to spend money, and the only thing he is not too much is silver.
As for more details of the Han Society, it is not too much to be involved in the end because of the conflict with Jinan.
The brothers of the Chen family were all dragged onto the boat by Chen Ji, and now they are the backbone of the Dengzhou Han Society.
These things were all done behind Chen Xiushe's back.
The year is approaching, the year of the apocalypse ushered in the tail, next year will be a new era name, the new emperor has been well-behaved and clever this year, cultivating and consolidating his strength, so for next year's subject, it can be said that it is the most promising subject. After all, if the new emperor wants to do something in the court, he must have someone who can use himself. Today's imperial court is not very peaceful for an emperor like him, who is inherited by the son of a vassal king.
Chen Ji still spends most of his time in Songxi, and he is almost a line between ethnology and the guest house. As for the foothold of their own home in the county, there really isn't much time to pass. For those who are familiar with Chen Ji, most of them are surprised, thinking that the young master of the Chen family is really a prodigal son.
Putting aside all kinds of things for the time being, Chen Ji is rarely a little leisurely.
Occasionally, my grandmother would ask people to call him, and when I went back, I was probably distressed. Of course, after clarifying the stakes with Lao Chen, the Chen family may soon add another Ding. The old lady still focuses more on taking care of her daughter-in-law. Although the whole family does not have a lot of "wishes" for the old lady to be too busy, she can't stand the old lady's hopes for her future grandson. No matter who says it, I can't wait to do it myself.
Chen Ji talked to Lao Chen privately, but it was not easy to say too much about the elders, but he just reminded Lao Chen not to blindly think about making up for his aunt, otherwise this would really fall on her The nutrients will not be too much, and the child in the womb will absorb too much nutrients, which may invisibly increase the risk to production in the future. Lin Yunyi herself is considered "old", and in this era of backward medical conditions, it is really a ghost door to have children.
Lao Chen wrote it down, and probably asked the doctor of the medical hall later, and the old lady was also a little worried, and she was worshipping the Buddha devoutly every day.
Chen Ji was in this home, and suddenly it seemed redundant.
Chen Wenxuan and Yangzhou Sun Jiayu are making good progress, although Chen Ji is worried, after all, although Sun Jiayu's intentions are there, the Sun family behind him still has a lot of complicated and unspeakable relationships, in the final analysis, he feels that he should also be happy. As for those hidden worries, let alone he stands behind.
So he found Sun Jiayu privately and directly interrogated the media's appointment, Sun Jiayu was shocked for a while, thinking that Chen Ji had set him up again.
As for others, such as the three little guys around him, now they have their own experiences, and they are gradually "estranged" from him, Shen Qiu is "alone" in Qingzhou, and Gui Chun will also devote himself to Dengzhou in order to go back to Qingzhou. Xiao Ran is by the old lady's side, and now the old lady is in charge, and she has promised others.
To say that the state changes quickly, it seems that it is only a moment, and he really means that he is a little alone.
Fang Jingyu set up the framework of the sailors, the three 200 large ships assisted by the Tianjin sailors arrived, and they were anchored in Dengzhou Port to be repaired, and the sand boats rented and bought from the Sun family earlier were still the main force for the training of sailors for the time being, and one-third of the gentry in Dengzhou participated in a part of the shares through the sailors' yamen, and the warships named after their families or businesses were being built in the south. Song Qingming is directly responsible for this matter.
As far as Chen Ji is concerned, after the incident of Dazhudao, the veteran of Qingzhou can wait for the Qingzhou veteran to "conquer the city" in the Yellow Bohai Sea, and the progress is good, and a small force has already logged in Goguryeo as a Jokhang merchant.
A large net has been quietly rolled out, and with it comes a large sum of silver.
After the end of the year, Chen Ji will inevitably have to be busy looking for investment and sponsorship to draw a pie.
The emperor died, and the end of the apocalypse will inevitably not be too lively.
In Kaifeng, the Yellow River was dug before the rebel army evacuated, and the water crushed the mountains and rivers, and the eyes were devastated.
