In this couplet competition, Chen Le won a big victory, and Zhao Kuo and others left in a hurry with 100,000 taels of silver tickets under Zeng Zhili's cynicism.

Zeng Zhili directly took out 50,000 taels and handed it to Chen Le: "Xiao San, you are simply amazing, I don't think you will leave tomorrow, after watching the bow and arrow competition, I will get drunk with you tonight!" ”

The degree of wine in this world is not so high, but Chen Le has learned the lesson of drinking with Zhou Zhengzong last time, even if Zeng Zhili persuaded him to drink, he refused to drink more.

In fact, it's not that I can't drink, it's that the amount of alcohol in this body hasn't been cultivated yet, Chen Le silently comforted himself in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed, and Chen Le slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, at this time, a handsome little maid was already in a hurry outside the door.

As soon as she saw Chen Le wake up, she hurriedly walked into the room and said, "Xiao Gongzi, are you awake?" ”

Chen Le nodded and looked at the little maid suspiciously.

"Xiao Gongzi, my third son-in-law asked me to leave a message for you, he has already gone to the school field, saying that you will go directly to him after you wake up!"

"Just go straight over? I can't find it! Only then did Chen Le realize that he had overslept.

"Zhu Xiaolin is waiting for you outside the mansion, he will take you there." The little maid hurriedly said.

Chen Le responded, got out of bed and hurriedly washed up, then came to the door of the mansion, and saw Zhu Xiaolin rubbing his hands there like an ant on a hot pot.

"Oh, Childe, you're up!" As soon as Zhu Xiaolin saw Chen Le, he eagerly greeted him: "The third master asked me to take you to the school." ”

Chen Le nodded, and after getting on the horse, he and Zhu Xiaolin headed towards the south of Daliang City.

There are 10,000 permanent soldiers in Liangzhou City, which are stationed in the south of the city, and the school field is naturally the school field of the army, Liangzhou Assassin Shi is Zeng Zhili's eldest brother, even the Liangzhou general in charge of the army has to sell Zeng Zhili a few faces, not to mention that there is also the third son of King Zhao is included, so in addition to the soldiers who are normally guarding, there is no team in the school field.

As soon as Chen Le entered the school field, he found that this place was much larger than the school field of Jixia School Palace, and after all, it was the school field of the regular army, so the facilities should be more complete.

From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounding the middle of the school field, it was Zeng Zhili, Zhao Kuo and others.

He and Zhu Xiaolin rode directly into the school field, and after a while, they came to the front and saw that the decorations in the middle of the field were very fancy, not like the ordinary scene of comparing arrows.

"Xiao San, are you here? Come here! Zeng Zhili had already seen Chen Le riding into the school yard, and went over to pull him to the chair next to him and sit down.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you!" Zeng Zhili pointed to a burly young man beside him and said, "This is the number one marksman of our beam, known as the star picker, Yuwen Feng!" ”

Chen Le looked at the young man and bowed slightly, Zeng Zhili continued: "Yu Wenfeng, this is Xiao San, the first talent of our Liang!" ”

Yu Wenfeng glanced at Chen Le, and the corners of his mouth showed a faint mockery: "The first talent? I have always heard that there is no first in Wen, there is no second in Wu, where is there any first talent, even if it is the first in the Wenhua list, he never stands first, but the number of four people and four squares, unlike the Wuying list, the first is the real first! ”

This person is very arrogant, Chen Le blinked and didn't speak, what is the first in the text, the second in the martial arts, how can there be a ranking of the champion in the scientific examination, how can the first in the scientific examination still have the nickname of the word saint poet, everything is just that the literati are contemptuous and never want to admit that someone is better than themselves.

Zeng Zhili saw Yu Wenfeng's appearance, smiled awkwardly, and whispered to Chen Le: "This thing is like this, I am used to being arrogant and arrogant, Xiao San, you don't want to be like him." ”

Chen Le nodded, but unexpectedly, this Yuwen Feng was furious and said: "Zeng San Gongzi, a certain family is not proud, a certain family just looks down on these scholars, and they are powerless, and when it is really time to fight, they will only run away and drag their feet, which is useless to the country at all!" ”

As soon as he said this, Zeng Zhili's face immediately darkened, their Zeng family is the descendants of Yasheng, and they have been studying for generations, this Yuwenfeng actually scolded their family with one sentence!

Zeng Zhili heheed twice, turned his face around, and said in a low voice: "A donkey!" ”

Although Chen Le didn't know what the background of this Yuwen style was, he couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that he was so arrogant that he seemed to be a little too much, and at this moment, he only heard Zhao Kuo next to him shouting here: "Zeng San, you can start!" ”

Zeng Zhili was angry in his heart, and sneered when he heard this: "Start at the beginning, what are you going to bet on this time?" ”

Zhao Kuo said with an unkind face not far away: "Bet on the small mine under your three names!" ”

"What!" Zeng Zhili was slightly stunned, as the son-in-law of the head of the Zeng family, he still has some industries, but the most profitable of these industries is nothing more than a small iron mine under his name, this small iron mine is very small and not large enough, but if he owns it, he still has energy to bring wealth, and this wealth is also his main income.

This is to dig up the lifeblood of Lao Tzu, this Zhao Kuo is too ruthless!

Chen Le's expression also changed slightly when he heard the word mine, what is the most valuable thing in this era? It's not those restaurants and shops, it's not those real estate farmland, it's salt, iron, and copper!

After 500 years of the Great Xu Dynasty, most of the salt and iron were contained by the family, and copper as a currency material can be directly equivalent to currency like silver and gold, and almost all of them are directly controlled by the royal family and the royal family, so salt and iron are the most valuable things.

Salt is indispensable for eating, and iron is indispensable for war, these two things are the lifeblood of the country, and the gradual weakening of the country is also related to the loss of control of salt and iron.

Zeng Zhili's face changed continuously, and finally he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said fiercely: "Zhao Kuo, if you lose, what do you give me!" ”

Zhao Kuoyin smiled: "Zeng San, what do you want?" ”

Zeng Zhili snorted coldly: "What do I want, I want the salt well on the side of the mountain for you!" ”

"What? Zeng San, Zeng San, you are really ruthless, you actually want my salt well! ”

"If you want my iron ore, I want your salt well!"

The two of them stared for a long time, although their faces were fierce, but they were a little worried in their hearts, although the two of them had a small iron mine and a small salt well in their hands, but it was a steady stream of wealth, once the loss of financial resources would be greatly reduced, even if they were in the same family, their status would be affected.

is also a son of a family without an official position, what are you looking at? It's that you have money or not! How many assets do you have! Are you rich!

A child of a family with no money, even if you are a descendant, if you have no money, you will be inferior, no money is no partner to take you to play, and your status in this circle has greatly declined, and you will not even be able to integrate into this circle over time!
