In the thirtieth year of Qianlong (1765 in the Western calendar), Lushan County, Ruzhou (Zhili Prefecture).

Chen's house in the south of the city.

Outside the gate is the South Street of Lushan County, which has already been full of traffic, people come and go, and it is lively. But the inside of the gate was quiet, and even the subordinates didn't dare to raise their voices.

Chen Dian, the only son of Master Chen, Chen Ming, who is only 15 years old, suddenly fainted when he was enjoying the shade in the small courtyard six days ago. This made Master Chen and Mrs. Chen anxious, and even the old lady of the old house in Tumen hurried to the city on the second day.

Chen Dianguan spared no effort to save his son, and when Lushan's doctor was not used, he quickly sent someone to the state city to invite a famous doctor, but the eldest lady of the state city had not yet arrived, and the young master Chen, who had been upside down by the doctor in Lushan County for three days in a row and did not get better, woke up on the fourth day. The Chen family hurriedly asked the famous doctor in the state city who had just arrived to consult with the doctor in the county, and a group of people pulled off their beards, and they couldn't say why. But you can't lie to Chen Dian's nonsense, Chen Hui, the old man Chen, the ancestor has been begging for a living in the county government since the last three generations, and has been in charge of the household house in Lushan County for ten years, and the weight of a sentence in Lushan County is not as heavy as the county lord's seven points, but also comparable to five points, the ghost knows that he is messing nonsense here, whether there is a 'ghost' in the head to sue, don't eat mutton and get fishy.

In the end, the famous doctors told the truth that they could only prescribe a dose of a warm prescription to calm the nerves and nourish the brain, and then asked the Chen family to take care of it carefully, and told the Chen family not to make noise.

So in the three days after that, the Chen family even slaughtered the guard dogs.

The sun shone on his buttocks, and Chen Ming got up from the bed with a lazy face. There is no watch in the house in this era, and looking at the sunshine outside, it is estimated that it is after nine o'clock.

The little maid and maid waiting in the outhouse hurriedly came in after hearing the movement, or hurriedly waited for the young master to get dressed, or carried a copper basin, a towel, and green salt and a toothbrush, yes, there was a toothbrush in the middle of the Manchu Dynasty, and this thing refreshed the impression of the Manchu Qing in his mind.

"Are there any relatives here today?"

"Back to the young master, the seventh prince in his hometown has arrived a long time ago and is talking to the old lady and the lady. The lord is also there. ”

"Oh? Didn't my father go to the county office today? ”

Chen Ming was slightly surprised. It has been three days since he crossed, and after three days of seeing and hearing, combined with the memories in his mind, he can already clearly know the weight of the Chen family in Lushan, and he also knows what kind of person his father is now.

This is a person who is very similar to his father in his previous life, he is not good at expressing his feelings, although he seems to be gentle and easy to speak, but in fact he is the appearance given by his profession, and he is a person who expresses his feelings with actions on the inside. This made Chen Ming have more affection for Chen Hui, and with the assimilation of memory, Chen Ming still accepted the cheap parents in this life. I just don't know how sad my father and mother in my previous life would be after receiving the notice of my death, but fortunately I still have a big brother.

Perhaps, Chen Ming in this time and space may also 'travel through' to himself in the 21st century.

No matter how much Chen Ming misses, he can only bury it in his mind, or find a trace of his father from Chen Hui's style in his memory.

Chen Hui treats her son very harshly, never lets her enter the women's branch casino, and implements strict financial control. But on the other hand, every birthday and New Year's Day, Chen Ming can always receive a generous gift from his father.

-- Not gold or silver, but unsellable objects. For example, jade chess pieces, antique carvings, or good horses!

15-year-old Chen Ming has been learning the skill of settling accounts with his father for seven years, and began to apprentice with his father three years ago - it can be regarded as a very good insight into the dark side of society.

Through 'memories', Chen Ming found that **** is really good. No matter how black the officials in the previous life were, they were not as black as they were in this era. In the 21st century, there is still a constraint, but now? It's really Wang Fa, and he can't beat his father's mouth.

Today's county government, there are not so many bureaus and sections, a total of three classes and six rooms, among which the household room is the most expensive and the torture room is the most powerful. Chen Ming's father is the number one in the household - the warden, as long as the household and the torture room do a good job of communication, in the local security chief and other land snakes slightly share the profits, when the time comes to collect taxes, the tax paid by the fat sheep who is not long-eyed will be reduced by one or two, and then say that he conceals the property and evades the national tax, and the officials of the torture room can directly go to get people.

The bitter master can go to the complaint, the prerequisite is that you can hand over the pleading, and then how much will you use to file a complaint? I don't know that the yamen is famous as 'the yamen opens to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money'?

You have endured so much hardship, spent so much effort, and spent so much money, but you may not be able to win the lawsuit. Why bother to fight with a bunch of people? When you are blackmailed, don't you have nothing to do if you give the money directly to the house? Nine times out of ten, the cost of that money is less than that of a lawsuit.

Chen Hui had been sitting in the position of the warden of the household for ten years, and before that, he had been in the yamen for sixteen years. The Chen family has been working in the county government since the generation of Mrs. Chen Ming, first as a white servant, and only 20 years to make up for a vacancy. From Chen Ming's grandfather's generation, he touched the position of the pawn, and it took as long as 30 years, even though Chen Ming's grandfather died a little early, and the interval was interrupted for six or seven years, the Chen family really established a foothold in Lushan County. That is also the history of the development of the Chen clan in Lushan Tumen.

So don't look at the Chen Hui family in the county, if they don't touch the family's shop business, it is the fifth uncle who is running it; The second does not take care of the mineral deposits in the mountains and the porcelain kiln in Tumen, which is his second uncle who is taking care of it, this second uncle is a concubine, living in the old house of Tumen, and there is a Lafayette who is dead on the head of the family on weekdays, which is very sad; But Chen Hui is the well-deserved patriarch of the Tumen Chen family, the head of the family, and the title deed of the entire Chen family's 800 acres of public land, the title deed of the store, and the documents of the porcelain kiln deposit are all held in the palm of his hand. And as the main vein of the Chen family, Chen Ming also knew that he still had a full 1,500 acres of land. No one in the entire Chen family will say a word, this is the deterrence and influence of a 'warden'. Of course, there is also Chen Ming's eldest brother's strength, his eldest brother is the eldest son, Chen Ming's wife gave birth to him after eight years, before Chen Ming, Chen Hui only had a son of Chen Gang, and the concubine accepted four or five, and there was a Chen Gang, not even a daughter, according to Chen Ming's thoughts, this is definitely Chen Hui's own physical problem.

Chen Gang was succeeded by Chen Hui at the age of twelve to his brother Chen Qingping, this Chen Ming's uncle is a rare cultural person in the Chen family, 17-year-old high school talent, 19-year-old daughter-in-law died of illness less than a year after passing the door, and did not leave a follower. Chen Ming's aunt returned to her parents' house with the dowry, the Chen family is not a big family, and Chen Qingping didn't even leave a son and a half daughter, so there is no reason to let the aunt of that clan stay hard.

Chen Hui succeeded Chen Gang to Chen Qingping, the time has been separated by seven years, and the good thing to say is to inherit the incense, so that Chen Qingping can still eat a tribute in the Qingming Dynasty in the future, and the province will also live a hard life underground, in fact, Chen Qingping Xiucai's name will wash away the stain after the eldest son has been cleaned.

Yes, since Emperor Yongzheng pardoned the top ten lowly titles, the government can also test his fame after that. But even if he really has a future in the future, he will be 'looked at differently'. even affected the reputation of Shilin, so that no matter how good Chen Gang's talent was, he couldn't go to Beijing.

Speaking of which, it is also Chen Hui's fatherly heart.

When Chen Gang went out, Chen Ming was only five years old, and now his relationship with this eldest brother is not close, but it is not too estranged.

Anyway, everyone has passed out, and there is no inheritance right to the Chen family's family business, and it is not a threat to Chen Ming. And Chen Ming's mother, Gao's family, and his maternal uncle Gao Pengqi, donated his prison students in his early years, drained the Gao family's family, and obtained the position of Luyang Pass inspection in Lushan County. That's a tyrant in Lushan County! If the Chen family doesn't want to turn against the Gao family and turn their relatives into enemies, Chen Ming's family business is as stable as Mount Tai.

So to be precise, the Chen family is a deep-rooted sitting tiger in Lushan County. As long as there is no big mess that collapses, the Chen family's wealth can continue for decades or hundreds of years. If Chen Gang can really be named on the gold list, the Chen family can even become a scholarly family in the future, and enter the stage of Lushan and even Ruzhou.

Chen Hui didn't go to the county government today, it was the county government today. Are officials also human beings, and if they are human beings, they should rest?

Chen Ming washed and dressed neatly, and breakfast was already set on the table in the outhouse. There are no big fish and big meat, he needs to be warmed now, and big fish and big meat have nothing to do with him. A bowl of boiled golden millet porridge, a stack of pickles, a mix of cucumbers, a mix of ears, Lushan is a well-known fungus township, and then there is a cut salted duck egg, the egg yolk is red and red direct oil, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it. Of course, there are two snacks that are indispensable.

Ten years ago, when Chen Hui's eldest son Chen Gang passed out and sat on the throne of the household warden, people's ideological concepts may have changed. It may also be that in order to establish his image, anyway, the 'taste' has become lighter, and he even has to eat lightly, Chen Ming is so sick, his breakfast is even lighter. For the Chen family, this kind of breakfast is simply simple and simple. If it was the original Chen Ming, he would have been tired of eating like this for many days. But Chen Ming has changed the core, and for Chen Ming from the 21st century, this is definitely delicious!

How can millet porridge on the street breakfast stalls in the 21st century taste like this?

He never understood why Yuan Chen Ming fainted all of a sudden, and he himself was not struck by lightning in the 21st century, nor did he touch the electric door, why did he wear it? Or is it clear?

This is the 30th year of Qianlong, and the national situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still at a peak. His own family is so rich......

Chen Ming was secretly entangled in his heart while chanting 'clean wear and not rebel, chrysanthemum set electric drill'. This was not the end of the Qing Dynasty, and rebellion in that era was the general trend. It wasn't even the last years of Qianlong, there was still a White Lotus Sect as an ally at that time.

In the middle of Qianlong, when the Manchu Dynasty was at its most victorious, if you want to rebel, you must succeed in the rebellion, how easy it is to say!

How good is Chen Ming's family now, how good is it? 1,500 acres of land, of which 400 acres are on the shore of Zhaoping Lake, which is the best location in the entire Lushan County. The 400 acres are all high-quality paddy fields.

In Lushan, in Lushan County, where there are seven mountains, one water and two fields, the number of acres of land recorded in the county's fish scale book is only more than 36,000 mu, and the county's acres of land do not exceed 350,000 mu when you count the private fields reclaimed in the big ravines and the hidden fields concealed by the powerful landlords. In the middle of Qianlong, the peak of the imperial power of the Manchu Dynasty, Lushan County could still hide more than a million pieces of land, and Chen Ming didn't know how to judge. Say this is a sign of the end of the Manchu Dynasty? Chen Ming, who is not well-informed, let alone profound, has no say in this point. However, the best paddy fields in the entire Lushan County are only 13,000 acres. All of them are on the shore of Zhaoping Lake, and everyone can see them with the naked eye. The Chen family can occupy 400 acres of land in it, which shows the status of the Chen family in Lushan.

With such a family property and such wealth, Chen Ming, who has worked hard for many years in the 21st century and has a monthly salary of less than 6,000 oceans, cannot refuse. People are greedy for comfort and enjoyment. If he doesn't know history, he doesn't know the history of China's shame a hundred years later, and it is also a very good thing to quietly enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity like this.

The Chen family also has its own porcelain kiln, and Ruzhou was a major porcelain production center thousands of years ago. It's declining now, but Chen Ming knows the formula of bone china, and let the craftsmen of the Chen family follow the recipe, and they can always make it. In Chen Ming's cognition, there should be a certain market for this thing. It's not a blockbuster!

And he also knows how to use the soil method to go to the blast furnace and make steel, although it is also the kung fu of the mouth cannon, it is all the talent that the singularity gave him to open, but Chen Ming knows the place of Lushan, in his previous life, he worked in Luohe [Henan], Luohe is very close to Lushan, and it belongs to Pingdingshan! There is coal and iron in Lushan, and Chen Ming's original memory also reflects this.

The Chen family opened two small mines in the mountains in the northwest of Lushan, one digging coal and the other digging iron ore, which was not far away. At the same time, the Chen family also runs a small coal mine. In Chen's real hometown, Xiaonangou to the west of Tumen, the Chen family's ironworks and blacksmithing shops are all there. That was the Chen family's real nest.

There are more than 100 aboriginal households in Xiaonangou, 80% of whom are surnamed Chen. So since the time of beating Chen Ming's grandfather, he has run an iron shop and opened a private mine, and the place is placed in Xiaonangou, the old base where the Chen family can rest assured.

The Chen family took private salt from outside, and through their own connections, they opened up with those villages in the ravines and ravines, and even the villages that were not recorded in the official brochures, and exchanged salt, cloth, grain and other necessities for life with these villages for iron, fur, and medicinal materials, and then used these proceeds to move outward, and even some of the iron materials that they could eat were turned around in the blacksmith shop, and what came out were kitchen knives, scissors, iron pots, sickles, shovels, and so on. The Chen family has made no less than five times the profit back and forth! Even after sharing the profits up and down, the Chen family can still make a lot of money.

Chen Ming is confident that he will make the Chen family more prosperous in his hands, and by the way, he also knows how to make glass.

Therefore, Chen Ming thinks that he will live a very comfortable life. If Chen Gang, the eldest brother, can be promoted in the examination, and then he will be admitted to the Jinshi, even if it will affect Chen Ming's status in the Chen family, the Chen family will be more stable in Lushan. This kind of life is very attractive to Chen Ming, a ** silk from later generations.

However, kneeling on the ground to be a slave for a lifetime, Chen Ming's products are not strange. Let's take it one step at a time!

Now the Chen family is still in charge of his father Chen Hui, and no matter how hilarious Chen Ming thinks, it is also a pipe dream. Take one step at a time, what you want to do, you must at least have strength in your hands. He's a very practical guy!

Therefore, Chen Ming will not forget history, he wants to change the fate of the whole of China, this is the lowest bottom line! But it will not be arrogant and have no one in sight. Now all he has to do is accumulate strength little by little!
