The news of the birth of the princess of Huiji County soon spread throughout Jinhua Mansion, and radiated to other occupied areas of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang at a very fast speed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days later, it has entered the month of La, after a period of preparation, the first batch of official ticket numbers named Guangfu in the eight prefectures of eastern Zhejiang Province in various prefectures and cities officially opened for business.

This day can be described as a long-awaited day.

For military households, the tenant rent can be collected in the official franchise ticket number directly subordinate to the Huiji County Palace, which saves the trouble and huge risk of arguing with those officials of the guard.

For merchants, domestic trade can be settled directly with flying tickets, where silver taels are stored, and a handling fee is paid, which can be paid in other regions when it expires, according to the length of the journey. Although it is not possible to receive money directly in other regions, if the object of trade also opens an account for a person or a shop in the recovery ticket number, it is very convenient to directly transfer the number represented by the silver there.

And for those households and all those who are interested in making money, regular savings is also a rare and beneficial project.

"For a one-year term, the maturity settlement benefits five percent; For two years, 11% of the benefits are obtained from the settlement at maturity; Five-year term, 30% benefit from maturity settlement! ”

The guy with the ticket number enthusiastically advertised outside the gate, attracting groups of people who stopped by. Money makes money, this is a new concept, the ancient ticket number, money deposit still has to pay storage fees, but now the official ticket number is the first to put forward the idea of saving money to interest, it is really incredible.

"Big brother, if this is not due to be taken, will you give us silver?"

Shi Daniu's old lady came to pick up the tenant's rent today, but before she entered the gate, she was attracted by this regular savings. After listening to it for a long time, I finally figured out what was going on, so I naturally wanted to ask the hidden worries clearly.

"Yes, can we not give our silver, but there is no interest. The king said, "If you don't keep your word, you won't have any money." ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, some people in the crowd quietly walked away, the little people, the family background is thin, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever, they always need money. Although you can get back the full amount before it expires, it is really distressing to lose interest. Besides, when the money is kept in the house, it is always easy to see it.

Someone left, naturally someone came, and the door was almost blocked, but a scholar dressed as a student listened for a while, but he smiled coldly.

"With this little interest, it's better to put the money in print."

Usury is a common phenomenon of private lending, and the Chinese attach importance to farming, coupled with the Confucian mode of thinking, they are accustomed to living within their means, and will not borrow from others unless they are forced to do so. Once borrowed, it means that there is a problem with their ability to repay, and borrowers tend to raise interest rates to take risks. Three points, five points, donkey rolling, nine out of thirteen, and even lamb's breath, there are many kinds of tricks, but all of them are things that cost human life.

This is still a normal situation, and there are even those who use various means to force and induce others to borrow usury, such as casinos, such as natural and man-made disasters among the people, which lead to problems in agricultural production. The former is generally the so-called heroes of the people, and to put it bluntly, it is the underworld, while the latter is more of a local gentry class.

"Phew!"

Shi Daniu's family originally lost their land in Yuyao under the oppression of the Manchu government and the gentry who rented land, and became a homeless person in Siming Mountain. If it weren't for Chen Wen's recruitment of soldiers and the two brothers of the Shi family joining the army, they would not have been able to have a good life of hundreds of acres of fertile land in Jinhua, Quzhou and Raozhou Mansion in Jiangxi today.

Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw that it was a gentry, but Shi Daniu's wife was short-tempered in her hometown, and her men didn't dare to provoke her. Not to mention that now the Shi family is also a military landlord, and their identities are almost the same, so they are naturally angry when they see this kind of goods.

A mouthful of spit was not far away, and the woman who spat still glared at him, how could the gentry be so angry, and he was about to have a seizure immediately. But when the little guy next to him pulled a hand, he said a few words in his ear, and then he looked at Shi Daniu's wife's side, secretly cursed and hurriedly fled from the crowd.

"My mother-in-law is really angry with everyone, this kind of inferior gentleman is the most hateful."

It was Shi Daniu's third brother-in-law who spoke, and Shi Daniu's mother was beside the eldest son, younger son, eldest son-in-law, second son-in-law and third son-in-law.

Now the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law have moved from Yuyao and have also entered the reserve army waiting for selection, and the eldest son and third son-in-law have already been in the war barracks, among which Shi Daniu is wearing an officer's uniform, and this time he received short training in the martial arts academy in order to better command the first bureau of the Nantang battalion where he is located.

With several sons and sons-in-law on her side, she is naturally bold, but compared with the eldest son and the third son-in-law, the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law seem a little worried. It is no wonder that they have been oppressed by the gentry in Yuyao for a long time, and they have long developed the habit of fear, and they have just become reserve soldiers.

After listening for a while, the family walked to the ticket number. Shi Da Niu and his third brother-in-law's tenant essentials, the younger son is still in the Boy Scout Academy, the eldest son-in-law and the third son-in-law have just moved in, just brought the family to Jinhuafu city to see the world, the rest of the family is in a teahouse in the city waiting to listen to the newspaper Dr. read the newspaper, just wait for them to take the tenant rent and go to the meeting, walk around the city, and rush back in the family's ox cart before evening.

Entering the ticket number compound, there were a large number of long chairs in the courtyard, and the number was received at the door, and the family sat on the chairs and waited for applause.

This is specially explained by the guy at the door, and the military families are also more accustomed to queuing, but those households are not very adaptable, and they rush into the house at every turn, and they are repeatedly bombarded back by the guards at the door, but there will always be something that they don't know.

"Master, I'm a lifter, why are I numbered with these untouchables!"

"Lift people?" I saw that the guard snorted, and then replied: "The king said, even if he comes, he must be numbered." You can still be bigger than His Royal Highness the King of the County, go back to the number! ”

Similar plots are being staged all the time, and the old ladies of the Shi family who came to see it later were a little sleepy. They received the number of the military household to receive the tenant rent, and they were not at the same counter as the ordinary people, and they got the number after a while.

"The sentry commander of the first bureau of the Nantang battalion, the captain of the imperial insult, Shi Daniu?"

"Exactly down there."

After checking the slip sent from above, and checking Shi Daniu's documents, and comparing them with those in the record, the man notified the shopkeeper, who went to the silver vault in the backyard to collect the money in person under the protection and supervision of the two guards. There's no way, the income from a few hundred acres of land is a lot, so it's not good to keep it on the counter.

"This is your tenant rent, please sign the paper, well, draw a pledge."

Shi Daniu's three words are easier to write, he has also learned them in the army over the years, even if he is still blind for most of his eyes, but his name can still be written, but it is really ugly enough to write. In the words of the supervising officer of the battalion, the Baba character in one hand is like this after practice, and there is no help.

Shi Daniu received the tenant rent, followed by his third brother-in-law, and the family quickly collected it, left the ticket number, and joined the family.

"Mother, where are we going to play first?"

The youngest daughter is still young, and her heart is still relatively serious, but her mother doesn't plan to marry her, and she tries her best to teach female celebrities and cooking, far more attentive than her sisters. Seeing that her daughter was still like this, her face immediately drooped.

"What are you playing, what a crazy girl, I have to break my heart for my mother. The princess has just given birth to a little princess for the king, and our family can survive and have a good life today, all thanks to the king. To be a man, we want to know how to repay the kindness, let's first go to the Tianning Wanshou Temple in the south of the city to pray for the princess and the little county lord to pray for blessings. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, listen to your mother."

Although the family does not live in the city, the younger son goes to school in the city's Boy Scout Academy, the eldest son has also been stationed here, and even the second son is martyred in this land. There were talks and jokes along the way, but today's events made them feel a little puzzled.

"You say, the king's ticket number is deposited with silver and interest, and this is not a loss?"

………………

"Losing money? Father-in-law, is Furen the kind of person who loses money and makes money? ”

Such questions germinate in the hearts of many people, and so does Sun Yu's father-in-law. In the past few years, Chen Wen's aftermath loan made him recover the industry, and in the following days, Sun Yu presided over Zhejiang government affairs, he did not use the public for personal gain, but his father-in-law always relied on his relationship to always get the first relevant news from the yamen, so as to walk in front of others in the shopping mall.

For businessmen, news is money, relying on this layer of advantages, Sun Yu's father-in-law has also quickly restored the true character of Jinhua's local businessmen, and even recently planned to get involved in maritime trade.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County......"

Sun Yu's father-in-law shook his head and smiled slightly, Chen Wen can compromise, but he is by no means that kind of fool. And Sun Yu's next words confirm this.

"The son-in-law has talked to Furen before, and he only has regular savings for interest, which is the same as the previous loan. Other tickets, flight tickets, etc., are subject to a handling fee, and no interest is given. ”

"And all this silver?"

Sun Yu thought about it, Chen Wen had no intention of keeping it secret anyway, and even when the amount of savings increased, he would even hype it up in the newspaper. In that case, it's nothing to say to his father-in-law now.

"Now those who run the sea trade will give some taxes, and Furen plans to participate in it, the personnel and ships are ready, the supply of goods is also available, and the amount of savings is regular, and it is used to buy more goods, and pull up the fleet to transport overseas."

The sea trade is not a million profits, but there are still 100 percent or even hundreds of percent benefits. As long as you can go on a round, let alone give a little interest, even if it is more than ten years of interest.

"This, if it goes on like this, how can the little maritime merchant be able to fight."

"Of course I can't."

Sun Yu knew what his father-in-law meant, Chen Wen is the official background, the largest military leader in the southeast, hundreds of thousands of military households in his hands, and there will be 100,000 iron armor next year. With such strength, when it comes to overseas, those barbarian kings and Yijun also have to be offered by their ancestors. However, there are only so many goods that can be digested every year in those places, and Chen Wen's fleet is stable and has a large background, so if he can give priority, the profits of other small maritime merchants will inevitably be depressed.

What's even more terrifying is that the maritime merchants in these days, who are merchants on the shore, are pirates when they go to sea, and there are almost no exceptions. Chen Wen formed a fleet, and nine times out of ten, he would also be outnumbered, and if he didn't make it, it would be another Zheng family!

"The son-in-law remembers that Furen said before that the maritime trade in this era will soon be different."

………………

The banking industry has initially begun to lay out, and the maritime trade fleet is also being prepared, while Chen Wen has been in Jinhua Mansion to watch the changes in the surrounding situation during this month.

At the end of the month, Zhou Yueying finished her confinement, and Chen Wen also held a full moon banquet for his daughter. On the second day of the first lunar month, Chen Wen went to Zhou's house to enjoy the treatment of his uncle as he did last year.

After lunch, Zhou Yueying took the child to the backyard to chat with her mother, aunt, brother and sister-in-law, and Chen Wen was the only one left with her father and uncle. It's just that these two elders are probably disparities in status and status, and they always look very restrained, but they have become Chen Wenlai's one-man show.

At the same time, in the backyard, Zhou Yueying's mother, aunt and three sisters-in-law were teasing Chen Wen's daughter. The little girl didn't recognize life much from the moment she opened her eyes, but she made these female relatives very happy.

The nickname was so decided, the ancients gave a nickname to give a cheap name, pig, dog, long, bolt, grass, wood, and even. In this way, the child is easy to feed and is not easy to die early. Feudal superstition, but anyone can believe it, so Chen Wenqi's one is logical.

As for the girl's name, Chen Wen chose the two characters Xinruo, one of which was the same as the one he had planned to give his son. It's just that he's still young, so it's safer to use a nickname for the time being, at least the people around him think so, and he will inevitably follow the local customs.

It's just that no one thought that this weak and beautiful woman who put on women's clothes as her name would become a lingering nightmare for the surrounding "weak" peoples for a long time in the future, and even her wise father and resourceful younger brother were overshadowed and became synonymous with Oriental imperialism in that era.

Teasing the children over there, in the gazebo, Zhou Yueying and her brother were chatting about something.

"My brother-in-law didn't mind that she was a daughter."

"No, husband, he likes this daughter very much, and it can be said that she is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand. I also told my little sister that my daughter was my father's little padded jacket, which was intimate. ”

For the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming military groups, whether it is the rise of the Ming Dynasty or the change of dynasty in the future, it will be an indispensable part of the political map. Therefore, Chen Wen, the leader, had no heirs before, which was also a great hidden danger within the group.

This hidden danger was not obvious at first, but as Chen Wen's status climbed, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming military groups thwarted the suppression of the four provincial capitals, and began to be taken seriously by people with intentions, and even Chen Wen himself had the consciousness of this aspect. It wasn't until Zhou Yueying was pregnant that it came to an end. But Zhou Yueying's first child is a daughter.

In the primogeniture system, the daughter is not without the right to inherit, but it is certainly under the son. But the problem is that the heir that Chen Wen needs now is to inherit the behemoth of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming Army groups after a hundred years, and his daughter is going to marry after all, so it is always a great risk to let his son-in-law inherit it.

In this way, the hidden dangers that had begun to dissipate resurfaced, and the Zhou family, who was in the center of the storm, was the first to feel it, so long before the production, the Zhou family and the Shaoxing family had a tacit understanding. In case it is a daughter, if Chen Wen takes a concubine, another daughter of the Zhou family will enter the family, which can not only keep the status of the Zhou family, but also become Zhou Yueying's help, not an enemy in the back house!

Now, as expected, she is really a girl. Even if Chen Wen didn't mind, the existence of hidden dangers made the Zhou family inevitably worried.

"There is one thing that the foolish brother does not know whether to talk about or not."

Zhou Jingting rarely used such words, and Zhou Yueying frowned every day, but she didn't stop Zhou Jingting, just nodded silently. At this moment, the interests of the Chen family and the Zhou family were so overwhelming that this very smart woman couldn't even speak, so much so that Zhou Jingting almost swallowed the words back into his stomach.

On the day my sister gave birth, the foolish brother remembered that the brother-in-law looked at the child and showed a nostalgic look. At that time, the foolish brother thought that his brother-in-law remembered his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he would be like this. But after thinking about it carefully, the brother-in-law gave the little niece such a rare nickname, for no reason. Especially the brother-in-law later wrote the song "Huanxi Sha", but it made the foolish brother have to think about some things that he may not think about. ”

"Huanxi Sha?"

Zhou Yueying also read this poem in the study, and Chen Wen also specially took it to frame, the original text of which is: "Who reads the west wind and is cold alone?" Xiao Xiao Huang Ye closed the window. Contemplating the past and setting up the remnant sun. was shocked by the wine, and the gambling books were consumed with the fragrance of tea. At that time, it was just ordinary. ”

This poem is very well written, and Zhou Yueying is also unforgettable, but Chen Wen does not admit that he wrote it, only saying that he saw it in a dilapidated land temple on the way south.

In fact, this poem was written by Nalan Xingde, the son of Nalan Mingzhu, a powerful minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, and it is a rare masterpiece in Qing Ci. Because of the birth of his daughter, Chen Wen recalled his parents, and he couldn't help but feel a little lonely and lonely in his heart, so he copied this poem casually, anyway, Nalan Xingde was born next year, and he couldn't come over to sue Chen Wen for plagiarism.

"Xiaomei remembers that the loneliness and desolation in it are soaked in words, which is a rare masterpiece."

"That's it, foolish brother, brother-in-law is the son-in-law of the Penglai Qi family......"

"This is a rumor, the little sister asked, and the husband said that he learned the art of war from Qi Shaobao's military book and has nothing to do with the Qi family."

The rumors stop at the wise, the Qi family has not produced any famous generals since Qi Jiguang, even Qi Jin is also an old qualified Qi family army who grew up with Qi Jiguang back then.

If it is like the rumors, it is said that Qi Jiguang left some secret books that are not passed on, and they were learned by Chen Wen, the son-in-law, so they are so powerful, then why did the Qi family not produce any more famous generals, but let a son-in-law be so beautiful, how this sounds like a story in a martial arts novel, if there is a daughter stealing the cheats to the lover, it will be even more like.

"That brother-in-law went south at such an age, even if he didn't get married, didn't he have a wife? His family is also a wealthy family in Tianjin Weixiang, otherwise how could he be so knowledgeable. ”

Wife-filling!

Hearing this word, Zhou Yueying was stunned. After getting married, as a close friend of the boudoir, Sun Yu's wife once privately mentioned to her the story of the hired wife made up by Chen Wen, and warned her not to expose this scar. Yi Qing is well-intentioned, knowing oneself and knowing the other is the king, and Zhou Yueying interpreted this story at that time as the source of the heavy and depressing impression that Chen Wen initially gave her.

For more than a year, she never mentioned this matter, but tried her best to warm Chen Wen with her gentleness and wisdom. Besides, a woman who has been dead for many years is no longer alive, so naturally there is no need for this.

Zhou Yueying has always done a good job, but with the prominence of hidden dangers this time, many things have immediately become different. Especially at this time, Chen Wen may have nostalgia for his wife, and this assumption really startled her.

"Xiaomei has heard that there is indeed such a sister, but she has been dead for many years. The specific situation is not very clear, and the little sister also promised others that she could not say anything more. ”

"I see."

This other person, Zhou Jingting immediately thought of Chen Wen, which was the most normal first reaction. And the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and suddenly he had an idea that startled him.

"This matter, the foolish brother will find out in private."
