The income from the Golden Jade Bead Field was as satisfactory to Zhang Chen as always, so the silver he took away from here this time increased by one percent compared to the previous year.

Xu Yong suggested to him to expand the scale of the bead field, but Zhang Chen refused. In his opinion, the annual supply of pearls is relatively stable at such a scale. In addition, he actually intends to wait for the pearl field that has mastered the bead planting technology to increase, and then get rid of the industry in his hand.

When Pan Daining sent people to help him set up a bead farm, he once revealed to him that in a few years, he planned to transfer the bead planting technology to some bead farms with economic strength. At that time, it also means that the monopoly position of him and Pan Daining in the pearl industry is gone.

If you expand the scale at will at this time, it will be too cumbersome to transfer at that time.

Although Zhang Chen only invested tens of thousands of taels of silver in total, when it came time to transfer, it was more than that.

After the pearl farm was put into operation, plus the money from the original purchase of the land and the unformed pearl oysters cultivated in the pearl farm, it was already worth a lot of money, and this was not counting Zhang Chen's transfer fee.

The pearl field needs to invest so much money in it at once, the risk is too great, and not everyone has the courage. If the scale is expanded at this time, there will be fewer people who dare to take over, and it will be more difficult to transfer.

What Zhang Chen wanted was not so troublesome. He needed to get out of the way and get the money out of the way.

Although Xu Yong can't do any heavy work, after a few years of training, he has given full play to his advantages, is shrewd and capable, and strategizes, which makes Zhang Chen very satisfied.

So Zhang Chen planned to wait for the matter of the Golden Jade Bead Field to be over, ask for his opinion, and if he wanted, take him with him in the future and cultivate him as his right-hand man.

After explaining the matter of the pearl field to Xu Yong, Zhang Chen took his sister Chunni and left the razor clams.

Chunni has been staying at the razor clams for the past few years, and has never left, and when she got along with the second girl, a friendship was established between the two little girls, but they soon separated. However, the correspondence between them has not been interrupted in the past few years, and through Zhang Chen, they have also given each other many gifts.

This time, she was invited by the second girl to go to the capital to meet the second girl.

Zhang Chen's next destination was Taikang Town, but it was inconvenient to take her there, so when he passed through Qingming County, he simply sent her there. Let the master Yang Shuping take care of her for a while, and then return to pick her up after he has dealt with the affairs of Taikang Town.

Because he had to come back again, Zhang Chen didn't stay in Taikang Town for a long time, but he still let him hear a news.

Xiao Jingtian begged for two concubines at once in one day.

And that's to be expected. Originally, he and the second miss of the Jing family did not get married because of any deep relationship, so Xiao Jingtian will definitely hug left and right one day.

However, Zhang Chen is still glad for the timely withdrawal of the second girl, concubines are indispensable, two a day, which shows how casual this man is in treating feelings and women.

Although he can use the disagreement with his wife as an excuse, Zhang Chen feels that even if he was really with Erniu at the beginning, he would still find other reasons to be with other women.

Although this judgment is too subjective and may not be fair to Xiao Jingtian, Zhang Chen would rather wronged him than let his only sister be wronged.

……

When everyone in Taikang Town saw Zhang Chen's arrival, it could be said that they had any reaction.

When they first knew that Zhang Chen was the son of General Weilin, everyone was envious of him, and they were all jealous of Zhang Nianjun, who had been mistaken for 20 years, and they all wished that they were the baby who was held by mistake back then.

For him not to recognize his ancestors in time when he knew his life experience, he always ridiculed him in words.

Now Zhang Nianjun has returned to Taikang Town for several months because of the scandal in the capital, and with his communication skills, he has subdued a large number of people to stand on his side.

One by one, they all praised him for being affectionate and righteous, and he was very good to Sun Zhou and even everyone in the Sun family. Compared with Zhang Chen at the beginning, he is even more outstanding, because even Sun Qi's family praises him.

Several uncles, even because he was the biological flesh and blood of the deceased Li Yating, couldn't wait to dig out his heart and lungs for him.

Zhang Chen was not surprised at all by such a situation, after all, the blood relationship was there, and it was impossible for them to be indifferent.

Fennel secretly told Zhang Chen that before Zhang Chen came back, Zhang Nianjun slandered Zhang Chen a lot in and out of his words, but because the family still has a good understanding of what kind of character Zhang Chen is, after so many years of feelings, it is not something that others can provoke in a few words, and the Li family has never echoed even a single sentence of what he said.

In this way, Zhang Chen is already very content.

Since someone is willing to believe in himself, he is also willing to let the other party know the truth of the matter, so he told Fennel in detail what happened during that time.

However, he didn't intend to tell anyone the truth about why Zhang Nianjun returned to Taikang Town in the end. It's not that he's kind, it's that he lets himself say it, and it's definitely not as credible as the news that people get after word of mouth.

If it comes out of his mouth, most people will not only not believe it, but will also doubt Zhang Chen's character because of this, which is simply more than worth the loss.

Although Taikang Town is not big, there are always one or two people who are begging for a living in the capital, and when they return to their hometowns, even if it is used as a talking point to show off, it will slowly spread in everyone's ears.

"I didn't expect that! Zhang Nianjun looked like a dog, but he did so many inauthentic things? Fennel doesn't have a good mouth when she speaks, but she will never have doubts about Zhang Chen's character, so she will naturally choose to believe Zhang Chen's words, and at the same time, she also made it clear that she disagrees with Zhang Nianjun.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, not to mention that bad guys will never write a 'I'm a bad guy, don't provoke me' signboard on top of his head, and we interact with people like this, just like you think, the whole world is too peaceful~" Zhang Chen teased her.

"Originally, I didn't care much about other people's opinions, but I didn't want to be misunderstood by relatives and friends like you, so I told you the truth of the matter, but don't worry, I definitely don't have any intention of slandering Zhang Nianjun."

"Brother Chen, there is no need for you to say such things at all, because I am on your side no matter what the situation."

"Of course, my sister is not close to me, who is close~" Zhang Chen smiled and scratched Fennel's nose.
