……

An hour later, Chen Ji personally sent Zhu Yi out, watched the carriage leave the corner, and then sat down on the steps in front of the door, behind him, Gui Chun looked at the empty intersection suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "Young master, that's three hundred and eighty thousand taels, really don't want it?"

"Take your life? Didn't you hear that people moved out the old prince? People, you must always know how to lift, otherwise you don't know how to die. ”

"Oh......"

"Tomorrow, I will call the shopkeeper Lu and them, explain some things, and go to Dengzhou first."

"Oh......"

…… It is said that Qingzhou is troublesome, and really called people over, everyone sat in one place, and after being ordered, they all performed their duties, and the framework that Chen Ji had worked hard to build in the first half of the year has been able to officially operate, and now what needs to be worried about is the identity of the shopkeeper to Chen Ji. After all, the source of Chen Ji's shopkeeper is more complicated now, and it is inevitable that there are some thoughts that cannot be noticed, not to mention that since ancient times, there is a saying that "people's hearts are separated from their stomachs".

Chen Ji is willing to delegate some rights, which is actually equivalent to a kind of trust, and the shopkeepers in several important positions now have a part of the equity dividends in Chen Ji, and when he really wants to put something in his pocket, he will probably think about it a little.

It didn't take much time, Chen Ji explained the matter to the shopkeepers in detail, and of course gave a lot of autonomy in principle. Although Chen Ji said that he had to consider the long-term of his business, in front of him, it was still the stage of winning people's hearts, and there was no need to grasp some dispensable things.

Time flashed, it was already the twentieth day of the first month, early in the morning, the street where Chen's house was located, began to get busy very early, although Chen Ji didn't have to bring too many things this time, but it was also a home, it could be regarded as a kind of provincial relatives, so some things that were not new to him, and the things that were really new to the Zhao in front of him were still loaded with a convoy, and Chen Ji was able to foresee the scene he might face on this trip to Dengzhou, so he made some preparations.

In addition to Xiao Ran, there was also Shen Qiu.

Now that Shen Qiu is in charge of his business in Dengzhou, in order for Shen Qiu to have enough right to speak, it is still necessary for Chen Ji to go to Dengzhou to give him a platform in person. As for Xiao Ran, of course, he went to Dengzhou to report Chen Ji's situation in Qingzhou.

In the few letters sent by Dengzhou before and after, they didn't believe Chen Ji's statement at all, so they still needed to be presented in person, the overseer. In other words, several elders of the Chen family did not believe in him very much.

It's actually quite a sad thing.

Chen Ji is quite sad.

Although it's all my own family, I have a blood connection.

Lao Chen, as the elder of the Chen family in Qingzhou, had already been in Zhang Luo a few days in advance, and now he got up early and said a lot of thoughtful things to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji listened to them one by one and explained a few words, probably saying that if someone came over, he would say that he was not there.

After a few words, the convoy left Chen's alley and went out of the city.

Xiao Ran and Shen Qiu accompanied Chen Ji and sat in the most current carriage, Xiao Ran was probably not very emotional along the way because of the arduous task of going to Dengzhou this time, after all, no matter what she said, she had to deal with the side between the young master and the lady.

Shen Qiu is relatively better, of course, because Chen Ji asked him to raise money in Qingzhou before, and became an acquaintance of several money houses in Dengzhou, he was also a little afraid of the past, and it was not a good thing to invite people to tea. And just like the previous bones, where did he pay off his debts?

Chen Ji looked indifferent, relatively speaking, this was the first time he went to Dengzhou in more than ten years, and his interest in new places was enough for him to forget a lot of bad things. On the other hand, the premise of cooperation with someone has been laid out, and he also needs to go over and meet in person, which is completely up to him to make his own decisions, but for others, it is necessary for elders to come forward. In addition, in addition to official affairs, there are also some private matters that need to be redefined.

Of course, in the first news I got from Qingzhouyi, there were also some things about the Sand Boat Gang, which was also something that he needed to solve.

Then again, the Denglai Sailor Division, who was in charge of Zhang Luo, has now begun to be formed in Dengzhou, and as the actual investor, it is necessary for him to meet with many colleagues.

At the gate of the city, Song Qingming was already waiting for him.

Song Qingming, as a temporary addition of a thousand households to the Denglai Water Master, also exists as the part of the force that Chen Ji can control, and of course this trip needs to be accompanied by the past. Song Qingming got into the carriage, and Shen Qiu Xiaoran went to the rear carriage so as not to disturb the conversation between the two.

Chen Ji quipped, "Don't bring a few more people?" When you really get over there, how do few cronies do it? I heard that Fang Jingyu was forced to choke enough by those second-generation officials. ”

Song Qingming rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

Chen Ji was a little more colorful, and said: "I have already told you more things before, and now I won't be verbose." In short, you can't buy and sell at a loss. It is not without accident that after the establishment of the Denglai Naval Division, once it has formed combat strength, it may have to be relocated. As for the station, eighty percent is Liaodong Linhai. ”

Song Qingming looked over.

Chen Ji followed: "Even if you put these aside, there are many things that should be paid attention to on other aspects."

"For example, how to support the operation of the water master, those second ancestors, since there is no way to squeeze them out, how to win them over. In officialdom, there are many things you need to consider. ”

"Let's be more pragmatic, there are some sailors under our control, how to use the time outside of official business to earn the maximum profit is also a top priority, externally there are pirates who don't know where to hide, and internally there are various forces that use the sand boat gang as bait."

"In short, it's not an easy errand, everything needs to be on your own."

Song Qingming paused and said, "I recognize it."

Chen Ji bowed his head, Song Qingming is not the kind of person who is reckless and does not know the severity.

After a little leisure, the convoy was leisurely, and it was already far from the city.

When the news of Chen Ji's departure from Qingzhou reached Qingzhou Mansion, several governors were relieved, and they had finally sent away this plague god.

Since then, everything in Qingzhou has been slowly recovering in the conservative calculations of each family.

……

Half a decade later, Chen Ji's convoy had already entered the boundary of Dengzhou, but he had already left the convoy early and traveled lightly with Shen Qiu Xiaoran, like a rich boy who was on a study tour, with a booklet in his hand that recorded the customs and customs, and he had already written a lot of things.

It seems that there is no hurry to go to Dengzhou and meet with the elders.

Shen Qiu was so happy, although Xiao Ran was worried, he didn't say anything.

On this day, the three of them arrived in Zhaoyuan County, under the rule of Dengzhou, and happened to bump into an interesting incident.

It's a little story about love and love, and Chen Ji felt that he should make a note in his landscape travel book, so he stayed for the time being and waited for the follow-up.
