Coming out of the palace, Chen Yuan immediately returned to his home. The family members www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun pavilion had already received the news and were waiting for him, and that kind of long-lost warmth really made Chen Yuan feel a warm feeling in his heart.

"Teacher Ouyang said, my handwriting is already very good, but because I haven't fully understood the culture of the Han people, so my attainments in poetry should be limited to a certain extent, and he asked me to go out and walk more, which will help me."

When Chen Yuan sat down, Yelu Nian Chen reported his results to him.

In that competition, Yelu Nian Chen won the third place, and was accepted by Ouyang Xiu as a protégé, he sat in Chen Yuan's lower position in a long shirt, although he was still young, but he looked very regular, and he already had the bearing of those scholars.

"Okay, you learn from him, Ouyang Xiu is a talented person, and being able to be favored by him means that you are very good." Chen Yuan can be said to be very satisfied with Yelu Nian Chen.

Yelu Nianchen smiled: "The teacher said, Dad, you are also a talented person. ”

Chen Yuan was very happy to hear it, it was not easy to be praised by this most scratching customer, which made Chen Yuan a little fluttery, but he now knew how much modesty was: "Hehe, that's just a kind word he said modestly, don't take it seriously." By the way, what is the attitude of the gentlemen of your academy towards you now? ”

"They never mentioned that my surname was Yelu again, and they often talked about me in front of my classmates, so that everyone could learn from me. When the new students entered this year, my husband asked me to give them a lecture. ”

Chen Yuan laughed: "Not bad! Not bad! It's all the result of your own efforts, better than your older siblings, and I remember that they were never praised by their husband when they were in school. ”

Brother Chen Dong next to him smiled, and the corners of his mouth also grew a beard, which was very thick, and he looked like an adult: "Dad, I met my husband when I was a child a few days ago, and he recognized me at a glance, and said that he still remembers me and Brother Ning." ”

"That's because you've caused too much trouble to my husband! I'm embarrassed to say. Chen Chunmei muttered beside her.

Brother Chen Dong was not ashamed of his naughtiness when he was young, and actually said unashamedly: "I invited my husband to drink two glasses, and he said that I kept the record of that school, and I was the last student to be punished for standing, and no one has been comparable to me so far." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Qin Xianglian slapped him from behind: "Can this kind of thing be taken out to show off?" Keep your mouth shut. ”

Really, Chen Yuan feels that happiness is so simple, as long as the family can be so happy together every day.

Brother Chen Dong straightened his hat that was beaten crookedly: "By the way, Dad, how is Brother Ning now?" The last letter he sent me was half a year old, and he told me that he was now commanding 5,000 Mongol cavalry, is this true? ”

He also has some childhood friends, and at the same time, Brother Ning's achievements have also aroused his restless heart to some extent.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, he did a good job in Mongolia, Xu Huaide said that Ning Ge'er's surname is very gregarious among the Mongols, and this time to form Mongolian mercenaries, Ning Ge'er can already command 10,000 people." Some time ago, the Liao Kingdom was in turmoil, and I thought that the messenger was unable to communicate, so he should write to you immediately. ”

There was a hint of loneliness on Brother Chen Dong's face.

Chen Yuan smiled at him: "Your opportunity has also come, this time Di Qing went to Arabia to fight, and he has already planned to integrate the first batch of students in the military academy into the army, and you will appear in the army as a captain, a capital head, and these grassroots commanders, as long as you perform well, you will definitely be promoted faster than those ordinary sergeants, because you are the protégé of the Son of Heaven in the army." ”

Brother Chen Dong's eyes became hot, although Brother Ning had gone far away, Brother Chen Dong knew that his foundation was more solid than him, and his path was wider than Brother Ning'er. If he shows his strength, he can take on the heavy task of expanding the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, or he can pick up the burden of defending the party. But Ning Ge'er can't do it, even if the emperor of the Song Dynasty is generous, he will not let Ning Ge'er have the opportunity to lead the army alone.

"Dad, it's going to take two or three years for us to go. I'm not around, and I'm a little worried about my mother's body. ”

Qin Xianglian was very relieved by these words, she was a little reluctant, but the road was taken by the child herself, and she would never stop it, and said in a choked voice: "You are not at home, one less person is angry with your mother, and your mother is very happy." ”

Chen Yuan didn't want them to say such things, so he turned his head to look at Xu Ji, who was sitting on Chen Chunmei's hand: "Xu Ji, you go home, go back and talk to your mother, and take advantage of the past few days to handle the affairs of you and Chunmei." ”

Xu Ji has already mentioned kissing three times, basically once a year. But Chen Yuan found an excuse to reject him every time, and the fundamental reason was that Chen Yuan couldn't accept Chen Chunmei marrying at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

To say that they are not in a hurry is false, hearing that Chen Yuan took the initiative to agree At this time, Xu Ji and Chen Chunmei both smiled very happily. Really, in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, there are really no people who have talked about free love like them.

Five or six years of practice finally came to fruition, and the people next to them were happy for them, Zhao Yi said busily: "This is a happy event, we have married a girl for the first time in the Horse Mansion, we must do it more lively, Xu Ji, you will go to your mother tomorrow, and set the date first, the sooner the better, and we will also inform the guests." ”

Xu Ji hurriedly got up: "Yes, thank you uncle and aunt for your accomplishment." ”

Xu Ji had already brought his mother to Bianjing, and the proposal was just to find a good and auspicious thing, as long as Chen Yuan nodded, his lifelong event would be decided.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, let's see if the food in the room is cooked, to be honest, after being outside for so long, what I think about most is our cook." ”

The next day, Chen Yuan began to prepare for the chamber of commerce election. For Chen Shimei's actions to be so fast, those who did not believe that Chen Yuanken gave up power at all were a little incredulous.

In just three days, the preliminary election plan was drawn up.

The election of the Chamber of Commerce is divided into three steps, the first step is to distribute the so-called "ballots" printed by Chen Yuan, to all the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, which lists more than a dozen prestigious merchants, and those businessmen tick the names of the merchants, and whoever is elected will be ticked.

The second stage is to let the top five businessmen with the most votes come out and make a so-called debriefing report, explaining to all the members of the chamber of commerce that they are going to change those things after becoming the president and are going to do those things.

Then everyone votes for someone they think is okay to be the new president of the chamber.

Chen Yuan has made it clear that when the first round of the election is over, for the sake of fairness, Chen Yuan will leave the Great Song Dynasty and will not support anyone among them. Various recent events are resolved through negotiation among those who are running for the new president in order to test their ability to deal with problems.

The matter of presiding over the election will be supervised by officials appointed by the imperial court, mainly the city change department.

Regardless of who the next president is elected, Chen Yuan will accept his management as an ordinary member of the chamber of commerce.

The first stage took the longest, because it took a certain amount of time for the merchants to get the ballots to be delivered to them, and then for them to come to Bianjing in person or send someone who could speak on their behalf. Chen Yuan estimated that it would take at least four months.

In the past four months, he has not just waited for the results, there are still many important things Chen Yuan has to do.

The first is the problem of the banks.

When Chen Yuan set up a bank before, he had to ask the imperial court to come forward to occupy a certain share, but the imperial court did not do it, for fear of bearing the reputation of the so-called "competing with the people". Now that the bank is developing faster and faster, and there are more and more places where those local governments rely on the bank and need to deal with the bank, Chen Shimei and Renzong can talk about things with one sentence, but what if Chen Shimei quits? What if Renzong doesn't become emperor?

Will the relationship between the bank and the imperial court still be so harmonious? Can the imperial court continue to support the banks? Therefore, letting the imperial court take control of the bank is already the consensus of many people in the Great Song Dynasty. Including the scholars and merchants, they all wanted to get the imperial court to intervene directly.

Chen Yuan is also willing to sell most of his shares to the imperial court, if he grasps this kind of business, he may end up losing his business and his life, and it will also affect his family.

How to transfer is a very technical work, everyone benefits if you play well, and if you don't play well, both parties may suffer losses.

It is impossible to get the imperial court to come up with so much money. Besides, Chen Yuan doesn't care about money now, these are just a string of number symbols for him. What Chen Yuan hopes is that he can exchange this string of numeric symbols that mean little to him for what he wants.

The imperial court can slowly transfer the money to those small islands in installments to support its own plan to build that island chain.

Also, the remaining part of the shares that belong to him Chen Yuan also intends to give up. What do you think? Generous enough, right?

The horse master is not short of money now. This time he resigned as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce had to pay Chen Yuan a commission for these eight years, and this sum of money alone was enough for him to build Qiongzhou first.

As for those shares, Chen Yuan plans to set up several foundations according to the model of the foundation in the future. Take out the annual income to sponsor local construction schools and support those outstanding students to complete their studies.

Also, now Zeng Gongliang Those who are engaged in scientific research are purely voluntary labor, and they don't even have military merits except for the imperial court, and Chen Yuan feels that this is an extreme injustice to them.

Then set up a scientific research foundation, like the Nobel Prize in the future, to reward those projects that have breakthrough significance in a certain field, so that those who engage in scientific research can also make a fortune! At the very least, let them earn the respect of others.

There is also a foundation dedicated to caring for the disabled soldiers on the battlefield, a foundation dedicated to helping those who are affected by disasters, and a foundation for helping the poor who are seriously ill and have no money for treatment...... Money is not a problem, and the master doesn't even know how much money he has now! These foundations are all called "Chen's XX Fund".

I believe that the name Chen Shimei will be passed down through the ages.

Why not set up a foundation dedicated to protecting women's rights? This question was tangled for a while and he vetoed it. Really, he thinks that the attitude of the women comrades in the Great Song Dynasty at this time is very correct, and it is a kind of happiness to be born in the Great Song Dynasty to be a man, and if he guarantees the rights and interests of women, he will definitely become the object of contempt for many men.
