Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou set off for Yiwu with Chen Di's silver ticket, and Liang Erhei also went to the capital to send a letter to Yan Song. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Di was left with only one of his cronies, Old Butler Yan.

Of course, there is also his "father" Chen Kezhen in Taizhou City.

At noon that day, the second child of Wangyue Tower came to call Chen Di again, saying that Chen Kezhen was looking for him to discuss important matters.

Chen Di was on the way to Wangyue Tower, thinking about how to ask Chen Kezhen for some more money all the way.

The 45,000 taels of silver tickets were only the recruitment pay for the recruitment of 2,000 soldiers. In the future, it is necessary to pay monthly salaries, make military uniforms and armor, and prepare military rations. Everything costs money.

Fortunately, I have a father who is a Han girl, although it is disgraceful, but this father is very rich. If you don't raise money from him, from whom?

As soon as Chen Di arrived at the private room of Wangyue Tower, Chen Kezhen was overjoyed and took Chen Di's hand.

"Son, the batch of goods I said last time, Su Maocai has been delivered to all the big guys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now the money is all gone! Your father and I made a net profit of 700,000 taels! Chen Kezhen said happily.

Chen Di cried with a sad face: "Dad, you have made a fortune, but I have made a fortune!" ”

Chen Kezhen asked, "What's the matter?" What kind of wealth have you ruined? ”

Chen Di sighed: "Alas, Jingli sent a few officials to inspect Taizhou's defense, I think since they were sent from Beijing, they have to be entertained well." Don't the adults in Beijing love to play hemp? I stayed up with them all night. Who would have thought that I would lose the 50,000 taels of silver tickets you gave me, not to mention, and owe them 20,000 taels of silver! Hit the IOU! ”

Chen Kezhen said angrily: "You said that you kid, what is wrong with being at a young age, but you are involved in gambling?!" Alas, even if he became a prefect, he was still a child! Ten gambles and nine frauds, do you understand? ”

Chen Di was reprimanded by his "father", he simply acted like a child, lying on the ground and crying: "Oops! How do I know they're so good at playing hemp hanging? Paste me! What can I do now, the filial piety money for Yan Song is gone, how can my son strive to be the envoy of Zhejiang! Woowoo。。。。。。 I don't care, I want to be a Zhejiang inspector! ”

Chen Kezhen was angry and laughed. is angry that his son lost 50,000 taels of silver in a gamble and owes 20,000 foreign debts. The laughing thing is that I really don't know what Yan Song's group thinks, let such a half-old child be the prefect of Taizhou.

Chen Kezhen patted his thigh and said, "Don't cry, what does a manly husband look like when he cries?" Isn't it money, what your father and I have is money! Since ancient times, you can owe any debt, even romantic debts and gambling debts! After a while, I will give you 70,000 silver, you take out 20,000 to pay off the foreign debt, and the remaining 50,000 is filial piety to Yan Song! ”

Chen Di wiped his tears and hugged Chen Kezhen's thigh: "Dad, really?" ”

Chen Kezhen suddenly remembered something: "There is another way, Dad can let them spit out the money they won!" ”

Chen Di asked Chen Kezhen: "What way?" ”

Chen Kezhen walked to the back wall of the private room and pried off a brick with a close-fitting dagger. Inside the brick lay an account book.

Chen Kezhen took out the account book and asked Chen Di: "Son, tell me, what are the names of those people who won your money?" ”

Chen Di sobbed and said: "One is Tang Shunzhi, the director of the Ministry of War, the other is Yu Dayou, the commander of the Shanxi Datong Guard, and the other is Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Shandong Dengzhou Guard!" ”

Chen Kezhen was a little strange: "People from the Ministry of War came to Zhejiang to inspect defense affairs, which is normal. What did the people of Dengzhouwei and Datongwei do when they came to Zhejiang? Forget it, and wait for your father and I to check the account books to see if there are any names of these three people. If so, Dad will get the money back for you. ”

Chen Kezhen searched in the account books, but did not find the names of the three people. He sighed: "It's a pity that these three people are not in the account books. Then there is no way, just pay back the money honestly! ”

Chen Di asked Chen Kezhen curiously: "Dad, what is the account book in your hand?" ”

Chen Kezhen laughed and said: "Child, this thing is not an account book, it is a priceless treasure, it is an iron coupon to avoid death, and it is your father and my talisman!" ”

Chen Di asked, "Dad, where do you start with this?" ”

Chen Kezhen hid the account book back into the wall bricks and said, "There are more than 100 names recorded in this account book. Among the more than 100 people, there are 50 Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other broads, and these 50 people have spent money to buy the goods of the Dongying people. The other fifty are a list of officials. The officials on the list are all above the seventh grade, and they have all taken your father's silver! Isn't your father's silver the silver of the Dongying people? According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, these people are all capital crimes of treason! ”

Chen Kezhen paused, and then said: "The account books also record in detail the time, place, and amount of money collected by officials, and the time, place, and price of the goods bought and sold by the merchants. Let's put it this way, the names of most of the people in Zhejiang's business circles and officialdom are in my account books! ”

Chen Di was surprised in his heart. In this way, didn't Chen Kezhen seize the handle of the entire Zhejiang officialdom and wealthy businessmen? !

Chen Di said: "Dad, you are really a good means, with this thing in hand, don't the officials and businessmen in Zhejiang have to look forward to you?" ”

Chen Kezhen said: "Haha, good son, you are smart for a while and confused for a while. When you are confused, you can make people gamble and lose 70,000 taels of silver in one night, and when you are smart, you can see through your father's intentions! That's right, I only recently came up with this idea. After keeping accounts, you have the handle of these people. These leading figures in Zhejiang are subject to me, and your father will not become the shadow governor of Zhejiang? When he was an official in the imperial court, he was just a positive sixth product, and now he is a shadow governor and enjoys the right to enjoy the right to enjoy the positive first product. ”

Chen Di said secretly in his heart. Shadow Governor? Yes, if I kill you and rob you of your books, then my son will take care of the shadow governor. As long as Zhejiang is united, there is the help of Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou, plus his strategy and tactics that transcend the times. It was only a matter of time before the Japanese were exterminated.

Chen Kezhen took out 120,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Chen Di: "You can collect this money, don't use it for gambling anymore!" Of these, 50,000 taels are to be distributed among the officials of your Taizhou government. Another 20,000 taels to pay off gambling debts. The remaining 50,000 taels were given to Yan Song in installments. Eat a trench and grow wise, you will remember Dad's words, there is no pie in the sky. Ten bets and nine frauds! ”

Chen Kezhen touched Chen Di's head, his eyes were full of pity. Who made him just such a son? It's worth paying more money for your son. Although Chen Kezhen has been a Han girl, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children.

Where did he think that his "own son" Chen Di was now thinking about how to kill him, rob him of his money, and collect his account books.
