Great ideals have been fulfilled, and the rest can be left to those who want to do them better. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoChen Yuan is not a person who takes it as his mission to save the world, he thinks that he also has the right to choose to live the life he wants to live for a few years.

Qiongzhou is good, where the shipping is developed, the scenery is pleasant, Chen Yuan has already thought about it, in the future, he will go there to do transit trade, that is, to sell the goods of the Great Song Dynasty to other countries, and then import goods from other countries and sell them to the mainland, which is a good deal, and it is easy. It is best to find a clever second shopkeeper to help him take care of it, then he can spend more time with his wife and children.

So when he went back this time, Chen Yuan had to prepare for his departure, and let Bao Zheng's spirit in the sky rest in peace.

Chen Yuan rushed back from Zhongjing as fast as possible, he was only two days slower than the fast horse, and when he returned to Zhongjing, Bao Zheng's funeral had passed, and the people had also gotten rid of their grief, Bao Zheng was their hope, but without Bao Zheng, they still had to live.

The earth is not driven by one person, Bao Zheng can make the people of the whole country cry for him for a few days, which is already very envious of Chen Yuan.

The news of the victory he brought back from the north once again made the whole city boil, although they had long been accustomed to victory, but when they heard that the old enemy of the Liao State had completely surrendered, the people of the Song Dynasty were still very excited.

Of course, those businessmen will not let go of the news of this momentum, they inquired about the date and route of Chen Yuan's return to the city, and waited at the city gate early, when Chen Shimei's figure appeared, they began to set off all kinds of fireworks and cannonballs, and at the same time, the invited drum band also began to play hard, from the city gate to the palace, the sound of artillery and drum music did not stop all the way.

And those students of the Spring and Autumn Society also came to join in the fun, showing their talents, each of them wrote a poem for Chen Yuan, stood at a distance, and when Chen Yuan's horse team walked in front of them, they read it out loud, which was nothing more than an affirmation of Chen Shimei's pacification of the Liao Kingdom.

These people didn't think much about it, they just felt that maybe the people's impression of the horse master was a little bad some time ago, and they wanted to take this opportunity to mend Chen Shimei's reputation, and at the same time, those students also had the right to be a poetry competition to show their talents.

But what they did really made some people very angry.

"Hmph, did you see it? This Chen Shimei's posture is really good, even if the army is triumphant, it may not have his momentum. ”

They sat on the second floor of the tea house drinking tea, eating exquisite snacks, and watched Chen Yuan riding on a tall horse surrounded by the crowd to the palace, which was very delicious. It's not jealousy, it's just that the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty all pay attention to a self-cultivation, and they are swaggering through the market like Chen Yuan, which really makes them very angry.

Fan Chunyou kept seeing Chen Yuan disappear, so he stood up: "Brother Sima, my father asked me to tell Chen Shimei as soon as he came back, and I will leave first." ”

Sima Guang got up and sent him off: "Childe, I think it's better not to tell Ling Zun first, Lord Fan's current body really worries you." Chen Shimei has always been domineering, if she collides with Lord Fan, what should she do? ”

Fan Chunyou is also worried about this, the current Fan Zhongyan is not what it used to be, it is very troublesome to walk, in case something goes wrong with Chen Shimei, Fan Chunyou will not be finished with Chen Yuan in this life!

But he knew Fan Zhongyan's temper very well, Fan Zhongyan asked Chen Shimei to come back and immediately tell him that if he was an hour late, he might be scolded: "I also know, Brother Sima, don't worry, I should accompany my father into the palace, if Chen Shimei is rarely disrespectful, I must let him taste my fist." ”

Fan Chunyou said like a martial artist, in fact, as the martial artists entered the court, some of the spoken words of those military generals were also accepted by the scholars and doctors unconsciously, just like Fan Zhongyan thought, if the Great Song Dynasty can continue to maintain general peace, then the martial artists, scholars, and those merchants will slowly find a way to get along and integrate into one.

The scholars in the court were better, and the local literati often regarded going to the army as a supervisor as a way out for themselves to enter the court. More of them are doing business in private, and the Great Song Dynasty does not have an explicit rule that scholars are not allowed to do business, but most of the scholars and doctors with status in the court are unwilling to do that kind of "competing with the people", and those people below are different.

For example, after the Chen Yuan Chamber of Commerce had just absorbed a group of members, there was actually a general judgment from the Hejian Mansion. Most of those people have a little money in their hands, but they have a few children to support in the family, and the system of sealing wives and shadows in the Great Song Dynasty has been changed, and the children's future is not as secure as before.

Han people are like this, they always want to use their own efforts to leave a better future for their children. At the age of forty or fifty, I don't think I can enter the court again, and doing business seems to be a way.

Of course, sometimes many changes are made quietly and the person concerned is not aware of it at all.

When Fan Chunyou hurriedly returned home, Fan Zhongyan had already received the news from the porter. This time, Chen Shimei's return to the capital was very big, and the news spread quickly. The two of them put on their court clothes together and went straight to the palace in a carriage.

Chen Yuan was reporting the details of his situation to Renzong at this time, and when he had just talked about the death of Yelu Gollum in battle, Renzong was a little sorry when he heard it, and the palace people took Fan Zhongyan and his son to ask to see him at the door.

Renzong smiled bitterly on his face: "Chen Shimei, you are ready, Master Fan may be here to find your trouble." ”

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't understand where he offended this old man who was worried about the world, he had done things wholeheartedly for a period of time, just to let them, the old ministers who had worked hard all their lives, enjoy some blessings, so that they could also offend people?

Renzong looked at Chen Yuan's incomprehensible expression and shook his head slightly: "He is here to let me limit your power, this is also for the sake of my country, if the words are too radical, you listen to it, don't contradict him." If you make him angry, I only ask! ”

Chen Yuan understood a little, if Renzong didn't say this, he wouldn't contradict Fan Zhongyan, first of all, he really admired this person, and respecting the elders is the virtue of the Chinese nation, which Chen Yuan still has to uphold.

Renzong got Chen Yuan and asked the people of the palace to bring Fan Zhongyan's father and son in. He also specially asked Chen Yuan to bring a chair and put it underneath, afraid that Fan Zhongyan would not be able to support his physical strength if he stood for too long.

"Old minister, participate in the emperor!"

Fan Zhongyan was about to salute after entering the door, but Renzong hurriedly waved his hand: "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, sit down." ”

Fan Chunyou helped his father to the edge of the chair, and Chen Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to support Fan Zhongyan's other arm, and waited for him to sit down before leaving a little.

"Aiqing, you don't recuperate at home, why are you running around so much? Didn't I tell you? If there is anything to say to Chunyou, it's really not good, I just go to see you. ”

Renzong is a good person, in terms of pure life, he is very honest. Fan Zhongyan was very moved when he heard it: "Old minister, long live Xie is considerate, but there are some things that are better for the old minister." ”

His eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and Fan Zhongyan saw Chen Yuan smiling at him again, and the smile seemed so calm, that he couldn't help but put down a stone in his heart. If Chen Shimei can also be more honest, he believes that he can at least talk about a clue this time.

Renzong sighed: "Hey, in fact, there are some things, you don't have to worry too much, I have already told Shimei what you mean, now let Chen Shimei tell you about his plans." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "Oh? Chen Shimei, do you know what the old man means? ”

Chen Yuan made a slight salute: "I know a little bit about it, and the lower officials know that what the adults are worried about is nothing more than the excessive power of the subordinates, which will cause disasters to their relatives." ”

Fan Zhongyan nodded, Chen Yuan was so happy, he also admitted very simply: "Yes, that's what the old man meant." The current Da Song Dynasty can have today's situation, and it is also thanks to you Chen Shimei's efforts, walking outside, I hear others saying that you are good, Chen Shimei, this reputation is not easy to come by, you should cherish it. ”

As if thinking that saying this might not have much effect, Fan Zhongyan also quoted scriptures: "Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, everyone praised his talent, which was quite a situation in the middle of the Han family. It's just a thought, the big man was almost destroyed in his hands, and Wang Mang was even more ruined. ”

Chen Yuan said: "Thank you Lord Fan for the church, the lower officials should keep it in mind." Please rest assured, Lord Fan, tomorrow, I will hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

When Fan Zhongyan heard Chen Yuan say this, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, what is the Chamber of Commerce? That is the foundation of Chen Shimei, and his handover to the Chamber of Commerce means that he has handed over the fundamentals, which at least shows that Chen Yuan's attitude is very correct.

However, he was still a little unconvinced, and turned his head to look at Renzong, and when Renzong nodded at him slightly, Fan Zhongyan made up his mind, it seemed that he was really worried.

"Who does Shimei plan to hand over the Chamber of Commerce to?"

Chen Shimei's attitude is correct, but it still depends on the action, if he hands over the Chamber of Commerce to Chen Shizhong, it is equivalent to changing the soup but not the medicine, everyone knows the relationship between him and Chen Shizhong.

Fan Chunyou, who had been listening to the guest next to him, finally spoke at this time: "Long live, the minister thinks that officials can be selected from the Ministry of Rites." ”

Chen Yuan didn't think about this proposal, and immediately vetoed it: "The idea of Chunyou Gongzi is absolutely impossible, the Chamber of Commerce is a non-governmental organization, and what they get is only the title of the emperor, and they must not have anything to do with officialdom." ”

Chen Yuan is experienced in this regard, what is the most in the Chamber of Commerce? The most disputes. There are disputes between those who do business, both internally and with merchants from other countries. This is an inevitable phenomenon, and the merchants have their own way of dealing with these disputes.

But if the Chamber of Commerce is nationalized, the meaning will be different, the businessman can carry the official brand of the Great Song Dynasty when he goes out, and Chen Yuan cannot guarantee that every businessman will take care of the face of the Great Song Dynasty. When they cheat a sum of money and run away, or use the official name to coerce the other party, the court will have to come forward to clean it up, and it will be too busy.

Fan Chunyou didn't know the clues, he had never done business, and he had never been in contact with the Chamber of Commerce. Hearing Chen Yuan refute his opinion so quickly, look at Chen Yuan, and don't say anything.

Chen Yuan didn't care about Fan Chunyou's attitude at all, and said to Fan Zhongyan: "Boss, I came back this time to do this, when I established the Chamber of Commerce, I had already said that it would be elected once every four years, and this is the eighth year, and I am still the one who does this position." This year, I will come up with another rule, the president of any chamber of commerce is not allowed to serve three consecutive terms. As for who they choose to do, that's their own business. ”

Fan Zhongyan didn't say anything, he was silent there, but Renzong smiled: "Boss, if you are in good health by then, I will go with you to see how the election of the Chamber of Commerce will be?" Let's see if it's fair. ”

When Renzong said this, Fan Zhongyan naturally didn't want to say anything. Even if you still have doubts, you have to let Chen Shimei dispel it, you can't even give such an opportunity, that's a bit too much.

clenched his fists at the moment: "Yes, the old minister must go." ”
