Chen Xiujie pursed her lips, but began to dislike Chen Ji, "I have been in charge of money and grain all these years, I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig run!" ”

Chen Ji was slightly stunned, gave a thumbs up, and followed: "This requires us to improve the way we farm, and at the same time solve the problem of grain varieties at the root." ”

Chen Xiujie raised his eyes and said, "How to improve?" ”

"That's one of the reasons I started a newspaper!"

Chen Xiujie didn't say anything, and gave a look.

Chen Ji then said: "How to carry out the imperial court policy. It's a matter for you officials, and I am not qualified and I don't know what to say, so I can only take my own way. Of course, I am not interested in it, and I don't have the ability to change many of the existing rules, so I can only take care of some of the people around me within the scope of my own ability. ”

“……”

"If I do this, you can think I'm just collecting money." Chen Ji gave a very straightforward answer, "I heard that there is also a place like Dazhao on the other side of the sea, so whenever one day I go to dark green, I think I can always bring the people around me over." To achieve this goal, it will take a lot of money to build a large ship that can sail the ocean. Speaking of this, Chen Ji slightly diverted the topic, "Actually, I think that if the Jokhang Imperial Court wants to really prosper, in addition to making every effort to eliminate the existing carrion, it also needs to have a strong sailor...... On this point, you told me about the upcoming construction of a sailor in Dengzhou, but the situation is still not optimistic. ”

After a few words, Chen Ji pulled the topic back again: "So Lao Chen also had a psychological preparation in his heart, but if Dazhao can't hold on one day, I don't care about your loyalty, even if I attack you, I will definitely knock you out and take you away......"

Chen Xiujie frowned, and said with a straight face: "Have you ever thought of putting these things you want to do from the perspective of the court?" ”

Chen Ji said leisurely: "Dad, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, can't you still see it?" Several ministers wanted to do something, but they couldn't do it, and they were even convicted for it, and their reputation was ruined! Besides, I don't have that much ability. ”

Chen Xiujie sighed, he didn't know what Chen Ji said, but as a Jokhang official, he naturally wanted to be loyal to the monarch and the country.

“…… Let's not think about things that are too far away. Let's take care of the things at hand. Chen Ji pulled the topic back again, "Since you also asked me what I think, then I'll have a good chat with you." ”

"At present, why bother has been done, I have already filled in more than 10,000 taels of silver."

Chen Xiujie frowned, then quickly stretched out, and said lightly: "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

"The land on the village has been pledged by me to Huizhou Qianzhuang, and I got 7,000 taels of silver, and the insufficient part was collected from the two candy shops."

Chen Xiujie sighed.

Chen Ji continued: "In addition, I have pulled half of the nobles in Qingzhou City into the group, and this base is very large. ”

Chen Xiujie stopped talking, he still had some experience in officialdom, and the shopping mall was a novice.

“……”

With a sigh of joy, Chen Ji looked up at the sky, and a gentle light rain fell.

The father and son moved to the house, and Lin Yunyi brought someone tea.

Chen Ji was still talking about his "great agricultural development plan", and Chen Xiujie listened to it for a long time, but he also heard some meanings. I just want to ask a few questions, but I can't find a suitable entry point, and eighty percent of them are not a system when Chen Ji says.

“…… In short, I know what will happen after that, and when you are busy for a while, I will show you my results, and then you will decide whether you want me to give up! ”

Chen Xiu slowed down and said, "I've heard a lot of nonsense from you, and I'll ask you a few questions." ”

"Hmm. You said. ”

"First, how do you ensure that these lands can really fall into your hands, and it is not uncommon for the family to regret it, and once this happens, it will only be a loss for you."

"Second, you say to introduce a new species, where do you find this new species, and how new can it be? Can it adapt to the growth of Qingzhou! ”

"Third, assuming that the first two points are successful, who do you sell what you grow to?"

After Chen Xiujie finished asking, Chen Ji thought about it and returned: "The first one is indeed a big trouble, after all, more than half of the land of these big families belongs to Heitian, which has not been filed with the government, once they repent, in fact, they can't be bound by signing a contract." So I can only ensure that the land is produced, so good that they are reluctant to regret it. ”

This answer is the same as not answering.

"The second point is that I have my own channels, but the odds of success or failure are in half."

"Thirdly, I haven't figured out exactly where to sell it, but I believe that since I can grow it, there is no reason to let it rot in the ground."

Chen Xiujie's eyes flickered, okay, there is actually no definite answer to the three questions. I want to persuade him to stop, but in the end I feel sorry for the silver.

If Chen Xiru had never seen Chen Xiujie's concentric appearance, he said: "At least the current Qingzhou, I dare to guarantee that I will make a steady profit." ”

Chen Xiujie looked incredulous.

Chen Ji snapped his fingers and said: "In addition to newspapers, Zhizhi Bookstore has already received one-third of the paper mills in Qingzhou under its name, and this number should have been even larger, but because the negotiations with the Xingtai could not be resolved, this matter was shelved. In addition, I found a good thing in Qingxiu Mountain, and if I used it a little, it was the silver of white flowers. ”

Chen Xiujie's eyes had changed, as if he would call someone to ask for a doctor in the next moment.

Chen Ji didn't care, but he no longer "talked freely" about his great plan, but talked about practical things, "After this while, I want to go back to Dengzhou." ”

Chen Xiujie looked at it.

Chen Ji said: "I know that you want to build a Dengzhou water division, but you don't have the money, so I plan to pay this money, I want this official identity." ”

"What are you going to do? Where did you get that much money? ”

"Isn't there still 300 acres of land in Dengzhou, and that salt-drying ......?"

Chen Xiujie couldn't sit still any longer, and then Chen Ji said: "Why don't you pledge that ancestral house together?" ”

"My son is not really a loser."

Chen Xiu was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit someone.

"Qingzhou is as you toss, I will just ask, and I won't advise you not to do it, but Dengzhou, don't think about it."

"It's not interesting for you to do this, it's not a good place, and you won't give birth to cubs if you keep it! As for the salt drying plant, I am stupid to want to pledge it, and I will take out a part of it at most to join hands with others! The right to speak must be in our hands. ”

"As for my status as a sailor, naturally I am fighting pirates, and the most important thing is that I don't have the money to build ships at present, isn't this because I have taken a fancy to the few broken ships in Dengzhou Port."

Chen Xiujie glanced at it and said, "Then what?" ”

"And then we will continue to fight pirates."

Chen Ji didn't care about Chen Xiujie's stunned expression, and talked eloquently: "Korean ginseng, leather treasures, and the nets of big ships and big ships are all luxury goods in Zhaoke." On the other hand, Dazhao's porcelain, tea, and silk are also luxury goods over there, and the profits in this will not be small, enough to raise a Dengzhou sailor. And if you fight pirates again, you might get a windfall. ”

Chen Xiujie knew about Chen Ji's so-called windfall. Along the entire coast of Shandong, and even along the entire line of Zhejiang and Fujian, active pirates actually had ulterior contacts with certain clans on the shore. This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court will never end the ban, and later the imperial court can only come up with a ban on the sea that "the piece is not allowed to go to the sea".

It has only been relaxed in recent years, but there must be a sea order issued by the imperial court to go to sea.

Chen Xiujie suddenly felt that the amount of information she heard tonight was too much, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. He immediately got up and said, "I'll talk about it later, and let me ask you, what is your purpose in sending this pamphlet to the inn?" As he spoke, he took out the pamphlet from his body and handed it over.

Chen Ji took it, glanced at it, and said, "I said that I care about the court and feel sorry for the people...... Surely you don't believe it. ”

Chen Xiujie rolled her eyes.

Chen Ji said again: "In order to catch up with Xu Ge's old line, I am familiar with my face." And if it weren't for the sudden illness, I would definitely have done everything possible to pretend to be crazy and stupid to get to the old man, as far as I just told you, I believe the old man would be very interested in listening, maybe I will be glad that many of my troubles will be solved. ”

Chen Xiujie sighed: "Then who made Chen Tiao?" ”

Chen Ji said: "I did it...... Of course you still won't believe it. I dreamed one day that there was an old man with a white beard......"

Chen Xiujie's eyes gradually became unkind.

Chen Ji stiffened his neck and said: "Cheng Biting Jin can still learn an axe in his dreams, why can't I?" ”

Chen Xiujie sighed and asked, "Do you know what the three-plate axe means?" ”

Chen Ji was speechless.

Chen Xiujie then said: "Fortunately, it is somewhat useful, so I will not pursue you." ”

Chen Ji had a bitter face, "Dare I take out such a useful thing, and I still have to be suspected of character?" ”

Chen Xiujie sighed twice, "Character? If you hadn't had a good father, you would have been beaten by your character. ”

Chen Ji stopped talking, feeling that the topic had been biased.

Chen Xiujie was also tired of listening, and whether it was the matter of the booklet or the content that Chen Ji talked about just now, he needed to think about it, some ideas, he could unconsciously mention them when he visited Xu Ge Lao next time, and let's see how they reacted.

The father and son suddenly had a feeling of "not speculating for more than half a sentence", so they left separately and thought about their own affairs.

In the West Chamber, after Chen Ji sat down angrily, he called Xiao Ran to bring the chessboard over, and after losing more than a dozen games in a row, Gui Chun came back from outside.

Chen Ji then raised his head and looked at Gui Chun: "Last time, you asked you to send something to the post house?" Didn't leave my name? ”
