Chapter 9 Coming and going, everywhere is not alarmed

When Mrs. Chen was alive, her sons were already half divided, but because of the old man's temperament, he still moved around from time to time and kept in close contact, and he didn't divide too much money and ancestral property, but they all had their own houses, and Chen Zhi's house was no exception. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Chen Zhi reported Chen Chi, the Chen Mansion arranged a few servants to rush back with Chen Zhi's brothers and sisters.

Chen Zhi's house is located in the south corner of the city, covering an area not big or small, from the outside it is also the appearance of a rich and noble family, which is purchased by his father Chen Mai with the money he has accumulated for most of his life, he wanted to share his family with his children, but he died young, and the real estate and fields were inherited by his eldest son according to the rules.

This heir is Chen Zhi.

It's a pity that Chen Zhi, who has not been reborn for a long time, has not had time to enjoy the happy life of the landlord and young master in feudal society, so he can only look at the dark rubble and cry without tears.

"Burning so badly? It's all wooden, can't it? If it is really a side effect, it will not be a fire for no reason, there must be a cause and effect in it, and when you get out, you should investigate it carefully, but the immediate priority is to deal with the aftermath. ”

In fact, according to the standards of Chen Zhi's previous life, the side effects of burning his own house are not serious, as long as people are fine, everything is fine, and everything else can be solved by money and manpower. But looking at the mess in the courtyard, Chen Zhi also had to sigh at the huge power of the side effects of the lottery holder, but before he had time to think about the cause of the fire, his attention was attracted by a wail on the side.

Following the sound, the sight was a young woman, slumped in a corner of the courtyard, hiding her face with her sleeves, and crying loudly.

Chen Zhi's third brother Chen Xi and younger sister Chen Man were whispering something in front of the young woman, and Chen Man wiped her tears as she spoke.

In this case, Chen Zhi, as the head of the family, had to come forward, he stepped forward and said, "Ahem, this...... Aunt Liu, don't you want to cry......"

This crying young woman is Chen Zhi's aunt Liu, that is, Chen Maina's concubine, and she is half of Chen Zhi's elders.

However, according to the fragments in his memory, Chen Zhi never regarded this aunt as a relative in the past, let alone any polite actions, but reprimanded a lot. Therefore, when he spoke, Aunt Liu suddenly buried her head lower and cried more fiercely, even with her little sister Chen Man, she also cried bitterly, Chen Xi, who was not very old, also had red eyes, and Chen Zhu, who was not far away, also showed sadness.

The three family members sent by the Chen family stood next to them, whispering, looking like they were not afraid of big things, they came to put out the fire, but when they came, they were almost burned, and there was no place to contribute.

Chen Zhi was not embarrassed, thought about it slightly, and suddenly had an idea, and saw that his face was tense, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "Don't cry!" ”

At this moment, whether it was Aunt Liu or the little sister Chen Man, they all trembled and stopped crying.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhi couldn't help but nod secretly, Chen Zhi was rampant at home and outside in the past, so as soon as he raised his voice, the people who were afraid immediately restrained a lot.

"Sure enough, I have to imitate the past behavior first, and the change is too fast at once, and no one else can accept it."

Chen Zhi muttered in his heart, but he heard the onlookers muttering quietly, and a few words drifted into Chen Zhi's ears-

"Rumors say that he is the most unsympathetic, and it is true."

"It's ruthless! The house was burned, and he reprimanded others. ”

"yes."

Words like these made Chen Zhi's eyelids jump, he pretended not to know, and glanced at Aunt Liu's face, which was full of black ash, but he could vaguely see a delicate appearance.

When Chen Zhi's father took a concubine, his aunt was not very old, and now she is only in her thirties or less than forty, and she still has charm, but after Chen Mai died, the family was declining, and she was not treated by her predecessor, and under the heavy blows of economic pressure, mental pressure, and survival pressure, this Aunt Liu already had a trend of aging before she got old.

At this time, she looked at Chen Zhi with a cower, and cried quietly: "I don't blame me, I don't know the reason for the sudden fire." ”

Chen Man also said nervously beside him: "Big brother, my mother was stunned by smoke before!" ”

"Dare to be so sad, are you afraid that I will put the responsibility on her? Even if my predecessor is a bastard, I won't dump the pot everywhere, right? The top priority now is not to hold accountable, but to think about how to live in the future......" Thinking like this, Chen Zhi recalled slightly, but got a lot of embarrassing memory fragments, which had to be forcibly terminated.

"This kind of thing happens, everyone doesn't want it, now it's time to work together to overcome the difficulties......" Chen Zhi planned to appease his family, but no matter what he said, everyone was still shocked, this is also normal, the house was burned, the money and goods were destroyed, and no one could calm down, that is, Chen Zhi, who had already become someone else inside, would not be brought in, so there was no panic and chaos.

After talking for a long time, with little effect, Chen Zhi no longer insisted, and instead thought about the next thing.

There is a mess in front of him, but in the final analysis, it is still a word of money, the yard was burned to ruins, and the family's money and property have lost a lot, but there should still be remnants, his predecessor had specially explained to Chen Fu, asking him to choose a hidden place to store some money, these money may not be affected, but the money is not much, and it is probably not enough to rebuild the house, let alone maintain life, and it is more of a headache for those gambling debts.

"In addition, we also have to consider the problem of excavation, and it is a lot of expense to find someone to come and help with the excavation, but money can be earned, and it just takes some time."

Through the memory of the predecessor, Chen Zhi estimated the current labor cost, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Inflation is a bit severe in this era, huh? The source can be traced back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Dong Zhuo minted a small coin, this ......"

With a slight frown, Chen Zhi shook his head secretly.

"I didn't pay attention to these at the beginning, I didn't remind Emperor Zhaolie, I didn't pay attention to it from the source, so that after the New Han Dynasty was established, although there was also suppression, but prices still soared, taking Tian as an example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Xia Tian was about 500 yuan per mu, and now it has risen to 1,200 yuan per mu, Zhongtian has risen from 1,600 yuan per mu to 3,700 yuan, and Shangtian has risen from about 2,000 yuan per mu to nearly 5,000 yuan! As for the houses, they started at 9,000 yuan a piece, and in terms of purchasing power, the housing prices in the third-tier cities in later generations were about the same. ”

With the help of the comparison of memories of several lifetimes, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smack his tongue.

Prices have skyrocketed, even if it is a feudal small-scale peasant economy, labor costs will rise, Chen Zhi knows that with his current situation, he is afraid that he will not be able to afford to hire someone - his money is still buried under the rubble, and now it can be said that he is poor and white, and the money on his body may not be as good as Chen Fu.

"That's right, Chen Fu!" Suddenly, Chen Zhi clapped his hands, which frightened Aunt Liu, who was finally calmer, and sobbed softly again, causing another round of whispering from several onlookers and servants.

Chen Zhi couldn't care about these anymore, thinking of Chen Fu, he remembered the money that Chen Fu asked Chen Fu to give to the informant, and had an idea.

"If Chen Fu hasn't sent the money out yet, he can use the money for emergency purposes first, and the problem will not be big, at least he can build a temporary shed and settle people down first."

With a plan, Chen Zhi was ready to instruct his brother to go to Chen Fu, his servant had received an order before, to use both grace and power for that family, which seemed to be a means of display, but in fact, Chen Zhi wanted to collect fame, only by accumulating enough fame, can the function of the hundred schools of lottery holders be completely liberated.

Just before he could speak, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and then Chen Fu, who looked anxious, squeezed out from the lively neighbors outside the door, and then walked quickly.

"Uncle Fu, you came just in time......" Chen Zhi was about to ask, but was interrupted by Chen Fu in a panic, so he heard him say urgently: "Young Master, it's not good!" The debt collector heard that the house was walking water, and he was bringing people to come, looking at the posture, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, I saw the famous scoundrel Chen Asan in the south of the city in that group of people, I am afraid that the person who came is not good! So come and report in advance, young master, what should we do! ”

His legs trembled slightly, and it could be seen that he was running wildly all the way, without any rest, and his face was flustered, looking like a six-god owner.

These words also made Chen Zhu and Chen Xi listen to it, and the two of them, along with their little sister and aunt, all changed their faces greatly.

"How's that okay?" Suddenly, Chen stopped and was stunned, not knowing how to deal with it, even those few family members also changed slightly, looked at each other, and had the idea of slipping away in advance.

All of a sudden, the people in the courtyard were scattered.

"Chen Asan?"

Chen Zhi's expression was as usual, his thoughts turned, and he found a fragment of memory in the corner of his mind, and asked, "The person who clashed with me in the casino that time?" This person suffered a loss at that time, and he has always held a grudge, this time I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to do ......" He glanced around, his eyes swept over the faces of his aunt, brother and sister, and others, and suddenly made a decision, "I'll go back to the Chen Mansion first, by the way, Uncle Fu, did you give the money to that family?" ”

"It's already been given." Chen Fu showed a bitter expression, he also knew what Chen Zhi meant, "This is really ......"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal," Chen Zhi looked calm, but secretly admired Chen Fu's execution, "Don't panic, get ready to leave, but before that, there are still things to be clear." He turned his head to look at Chen Fu, "Uncle Fu, which street are the debt collectors from, and how many people are there?" "In his previous life, he was a military advisor, and of course he knew that the performance of the commander determined the morale of his soldiers.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi's composure infected Chen Fu and the others, making them more or less relieved.

Immediately after listening to Chen Fu's slightly nervous reply, he quickly said what he saw.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi smiled slightly: "About twenty people?" This person is no more, no less, but he will never dare to go to the Chen Mansion to find trouble, but he can't rule out the possibility of ambushing people on the road, and someone may intercept him on the way to the Chen Mansion, so he has to take a detour, aunt, two younger brothers, and little sisters, the scorched earth at home, and there is no need to clean up things, so let's go......"

Chen Zhi commanded in an orderly manner, Chen Zhu, Chen Xi and the others finally felt at ease, and Aunt Liu stopped crying, and they all nodded in response.

Chen Zhi looked at several family members again, and warned with a little seriousness: "Several, although this matter started because of me, but it involves the face of the Chen Mansion, you must not make a noise, otherwise it will damage the reputation, you should not be lucky, thinking that you can still watch, once something happens, you can't run, it's time to contribute, you should protect me and wait for me to return home." ”

Several Chen Mansion family members and servants are also afraid of harming the pond fish, they were sent to save the fire of Chen Zhi's family at this time, in fact, they have no status in Chen Mansion, and they have no master of the six gods when they encounter changes, Chen Zhiyi gave them the master, and nodded busily, but after responding, they came back to their senses one after another, and their eyes at Chen Zhi became strange.

"This ridiculous young master is not useless, at least he is not shocked."
