As soon as midnight passed, it was ten years of worship.

Li Chuan and Su Xiaomei sat in the main hall, Li Changyue took the family and the servants, and took turns to come in to bid farewell to the two, this is the proper procedure, even after more than three hundred years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the juniors have to bid farewell to the elders.

"Hurry up!"

Li Chuan had a smile on his face and kept handing out red envelopes.

The servants and family members are also very happy, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there are also red envelopes to take, everyone thinks that a good person like the young master should live a long life, so that he can live a few more years of good life.

After leaving the main hall and opening the red envelope, the housekeepers and servants laughed even more happily.

The red envelope is not silver, but a piece of paper.

The paper ticket is not silver, nor is it a treasure money that no one wants, but a silver ticket that only circulates in a small area.

Ten taels of silver, that's a lot.

The family members were smiling, and they were all thinking of the young master's generosity and kindness in their hearts.

There are also people who don't know Arabic numerals, so they ask Jiading: "Chen San, how much is this for me?" ”

"Daddy He, your one is the same as mine, it's ten taels of silver."

"So much!"

The old man gasped, and then his smiling nose was gone.

There are also servants who said: "This silver ticket is really beautiful, I heard that only our Li family has it, and there is no other place." ”

An informed family member said: "That's natural, this is specially printed by the young master, no one else can make it, and the Arabic numerals on it represent the amount of silver." When the young master runs a school, he will also let your kid go to school in the future, lest you don't even know a single Arabic numeral, and the young master doesn't know how much the silver ticket is, don't let people deceive you. ”

"That's, I really envy you, not only can you read, but you can also listen to the young master's lectures!"

The servant was envious, and said, "I don't know when the young master will build the school!" ”

The family didn't know very well, so he said: "Wait for now, the school will definitely be done, the young master has already said that the key to the rise of that is education, especially children, must read and write." ”

"That's a good feeling!"

The servants were all refreshed and looked forward to it.

Li Chuan was a little excited, in the first Spring Festival of Daming, he was a little afraid of quiet, so he wanted to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve lively, so he engaged in vice mahjong, pulling Li Changyue, Li Man, and Su Liang to make a table and make trouble.

Su Xiaomei was originally a little interested in the mahjong made of Fang Zheng and didn't know what materials, but when she heard that it was a gamble, she immediately stayed away, pulled the screen and went to the room to whisper, but she was thinking about whether to go back to Jiangyin to have a look.

Li Changyue and the three of them were guilty, and they formed a table with the young master, not to mention the number of etiquette, but also to gamble on silver, several of them had a bitter gourd face, the key is that they don't know how to play cards, and playing while learning is completely paying tuition.

But if you don't fight, you can't do it, several people can see it, and the young master seems to have something in his heart, so he can only bite the bullet.

When it was almost the fourth watch, Li Chuan finally fell asleep a little.

Li Changyue and the three of them were even more unbearable, they were busy all day during the day, they were already tired, and they were forced to hold on to the fourth watch, and they had already fought with their upper and lower eyelids, and as soon as they heard this end, they quickly got up and ran, and they couldn't even take care of losing the silver.

Back in the inner room, Su Xiaomei hadn't slept yet, and was talking to Ping'er without a match.

The little girl yawned when she fell asleep early, and when she saw the old man coming in, she immediately slipped away.

Su Xiaomei waited for Li Chuan to go to bed with a strong spirit, showing the gentleness and thoughtfulness of women in this era to the fullest.

Early in the morning of the new year, Li Chuan slept until three o'clock in the morning, and when he got up, the officials of the health center who came to pay New Year's greetings had been waiting for more than two hours, and he didn't know what he was thinking, anyway, after Li Chuan passed, he didn't see a little impatience.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, no one wanted to go out, and the military households hid at home and seized the opportunity to eat and drink.

I finally had white flour and meat, and finally had a good year, and if I didn't comfort my stomach, I was sorry for those good things, and the military families were rare and generous, and they didn't reduce their meals, and they all let go of their bellies to eat.

Li Chuan was a little bored, he originally wanted to go to see the military households, but he remembered that during the Chinese New Year in the past, the unit did not have a holiday and waited for the leaders to come to the group worship, thinking about his mood at that time, he decisively extinguished this idea.

The so-called upward and downward effect, it is better not to toss the people.

Although I have good intentions, I can't help but think about the consequences of doing so.

Society is like this, it's not like you want to do it, sometimes good intentions can do bad things.

On the third day of the new year, Wan Youqing and other Jiangyin businessmen rushed to Jinshanwei to pay New Year's greetings to Li Chuan.

Calculating the time, the seven of them are afraid that they set off early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, that is, they only spent the first day of junior high school at home.

Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to make money these days, and even the Chinese New Year could only be spent at home for the first day of the new year. However, everything has two hundred natures, which also reflects the mercenary nature of businessmen.

While kidnapping these businessmen with profits, it is also necessary to be vigilant at all times to prevent the recurrence of the example of Jin merchants.

Li Chuan took a few people to the study, and it was also the first time that several businessmen entered his study.

As soon as they entered the study, several people saw a map that occupied most of the wall in front of them.

"It's ......"

Several people's eyes froze, and then they were taken aback.

"This is a map of the world!"

Li Chuan walked over, stood sideways under the map, took a silver metal rod more than one meter long, pointed to the location of Da Ming marked by the indicator, and said: "This is the location of Da Ming, the blue is the ocean, and the rest is land." After reading this map, what do you think, do you think that the Ming Dynasty is still the central country? ”

The seven looked at each other, all a little shocked, and more in disbelief.

According to Li Chuan, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, it is less than one-tenth of all the land on the map?

It's hard to believe, it's so shocking after all, I've never thought about it before.

"Look at this again!"

Li Chuan came to a table next to him, pointed to the globe on the table and said: "This is the earth under our feet, here is the Ming Dynasty, this is Europe, that is, what we call the Western Ocean, and Europeans came from here." ”

As he spoke, he turned the globe: "As you can see from the map, Europe is small, but there are many countries, those Europeans don't have much land, in order to survive, they have to cross the ocean to expand outward, you have all seen foreigners, now the southern part of Taiwan is occupied by the Dutch, and the northern part is occupied by the Spanish." ”

Several people were shocked, and they couldn't believe that the ground under their feet turned out to be a ball.

Li Chuan continued: "Let's go to Taiwan, take a few boats and go here......"

pointed to Taiwan, then returned to the big map on the wall and pointed to the north of Taiwan, and said to the seven people: "Go here, this place is now occupied by the Spaniards, find out the situation clearly, I want to know the details, who wants to take the risk?" ”

A few people look at me, and they are shocked by the assertion that the ground under their feet is a round ball, and they can't turn around for a while.

Li Chuan was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

Even if he has a golden finger, many things cannot be done by him alone, and he must rely on the power of these businessmen, such as going to Taiwan to explore the way, and he has no available people, so he can only rely on the power of these businessmen.

As long as there are enough benefits, let alone for him to drive, even if he calls him his own father, I am afraid that these businessmen will not hesitate.
