Chen Yuan doesn't want to be a man's public enemy, and now when he is with several wives, because he is too familiar, he no longer has the passion he had at the beginning, and he feels that their skin is not so slippery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few days ago, Chen Chunmei found a little girl who was going to send her off, and the little girl's eyes always shot an ambiguous light at Chen Yuan, looking at her skin that seemed to be able to squeeze out water, which really made Chen Yuan's heart itch, and there was an irrepressible impulse.

He is having the idea of going back and taking two more houses, and leaving the protection of women's rights and interests to his children and grandchildren.

Chen Yuan's heart, which had been calm for a few years, was a little stirring, but now is not the time, even if it is accepted, it will have to wait until after going to Qiongzhou, and it is best to get a woman who can belly dance back.

Now the women of the Chola Kingdom are very happy in the Great Song Dynasty, and the scholars who are used to hugging the waist of the little man seem to be particularly fond of those women who have some flesh on the belly.

The heaviest taste is Song Qi, I don't know from which channel, he actually found an African woman to come back, once he took the woman to a banquet, and it suddenly had a sensational effect. Although those scholars made fun of his woman, they were secretly asking where Song Qi got it.

It's sad to be a concubine, at least in Bianjing, you can't be a grandiose pickle, otherwise wouldn't it be ugly for Renzong?

This kind of bitterness is coming to an end, when I go to Qiongzhou, I have time and money, our Chen Shimei is also chic, although he is in his forties, he can still be said to be a charming man, and the level of pickling girls will definitely not be worse than Ouyang Xiu.

In order to better soak those better girls, Chen Yuan must get those foundations right, so that he can have a good reputation that can be admired, which is related to whether he can have the happiness he wants in the future.

Also, if you want to be a stable pickle girl in the future, you must find a suitable assistant to help you take care of your business in Qiongzhou. This candidate is really important. On the surface, he only established a few workshops on the islands, but in fact, Chen Yuan wanted to build those islands into an impregnable base of the Great Song Dynasty, which was destined to be not enough by economic means alone, but also to have the all-round ability to handle foreign affairs, internal affairs, and even be proficient in military affairs.

Except for Pang Xi and Han Qi, no one under Chen Yuan's current command was willing to go with him to Qiongzhou. Just as he and Renzong had estimated at the beginning, as soon as Chen Yuan told the news that he was leaving, his brothers immediately went to find a new way for him.

This is not to blame them, everyone has their own ideals, Xia Sui and Wang Anshi want to be ministers through the ages, when Chen Yuan can help them realize their ideals, they follow behind Chen Yuan, but if Chen Yuan wants them to go to Qiongzhou, they may not refuse, but then Chen Yuan will feel that he owes them all his life, and they themselves will suffer.

Chen Shizhong didn't want to help Chen Yuan go to Qiongzhou to do business, and after he was sure that Chen Yuan was really preparing to leave the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, his eyes immediately stared.

As time went on, more and more of those businessmen gathered in Bianjing, and except for a few cronies from the Pai family who had traveled far away, they basically attended the meeting in person. For them, this election is not only related to who the next president of the chamber of commerce is, but also whether the election system is fair or not is what they are most concerned about.

A fair system is far more important than a good leader.

Chen Shizhong originally thought that fighting for that position was as simple as taking out something from his pocket. But what he didn't expect was that there was a very strong opponent who faintly showed his edge, which made him a little uneasy.

That opponent is Xu Ji. Really, not only did Chen Shizhong not expect this, but even Chen Shimei did not expect that Xu Ji had so many supporters in the few years since he entered the Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, the development of Xu Ji is a microcosm of the development of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce. Over the years, he has been helping Chen Shimei with some cultural things, and he has done quite well, whether it is in capital or prestige, he has earned the first pot of gold for his life.

Those businessmen with the color of scholars and doctors who joined the chamber of commerce, such as Hu Tongju of Hejian Prefecture, were more receptive to Xu Ji. It also shows that the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are entering a new stage, and some of the current merchants are wearing long shirts when they go out, holding folding fans in their hands, and they are no longer much different from the scholars.

When it was much easier for them to make money than their predecessors, they began to care about their reputation, and the previous unscrupulous behavior for the sake of business was slowly ostracized.

There is a contradiction between these businessmen and the traditional chambers of commerce that support Chen Shizhong. They have a sense of superiority in their hearts, and they don't want to let those guys who are covered in copper smell sit on their heads, although they now pursue copper smell themselves.

On the other hand, Chen Shizhong and those people are also quite disgusted by the methods of these guys in doing business. As a simple example, let's take the example of building a workshop. From buying land, to hiring workers, starting a business, and all kinds of business in the future, they may have to spend a lot of time and money on the government.

But Hu Tong judged these people differently, those things that seemed difficult to traditional businessmen, they often got all the letters and a table of flowers and wine, and they could also ensure that there would be absolutely no people from the government looking for trouble in the future. This is simply an unfair competition in the eyes of those traditional businessmen.

When Chen Yuan was still sitting in this position, they could all accept Chen Yuan and tolerate each other. But who is the new president of the Chamber of Commerce, then both sides have to think about it. The votes are in their own hands, that is, whether they can make their side stronger is obviously the key to whether they can defeat their opponents and make their side become the mainstream.

Chen Shizhong is really a little embarrassed, his methods have already come out as someone else, but Xu Ji is also his own person, and he is about to become Chen Yuan's son-in-law, and the "degree" of this is really difficult for him to grasp. I had the heart to ask Chen Yuan a few words, but Chen Yuan stuck to his promise and never interfered.

This made Chen Shizhong really depressed, he once thought that if he wanted to get this position, someone might fight with him, but he never dreamed that it would be Xu Ji, and it was so amazing when he saw it.

Now the election of this chamber of commerce can be said to be the biggest thing in Bianjing, although the army is still preparing for war, the common people have little interest in that Arabia, and in their opinion, it has nothing to do with them. Moreover, the long military war of the Great Song Dynasty also made the topic of war no longer feel fresh to them.

In contrast, who will be the next president of the Chamber of Commerce is really the topic they are most concerned about after dinner. The common people who work think that the new president has come to power, should they add some wages to the workers, or will they deduct some money? This is directly related to whether there is meat in their rice bowls.

The common people are staring, the businessmen are watching, and the big officials of the imperial court are also looking at whether the election of the Chamber of Commerce can be fair and just as Chen Yuan said.

This is destined to doom that even if there is no relationship with Chen Yuan, Chen Shizhong will not dare to use some shady means.

Of course, Xu Ji is not willing to let the opportunity to get his hands be missed, although it has not officially started, Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji have already begun to compete between the two sides on some occasions. When every businessman with a vote came to Bianjing, both of them would visit their home and try to find support.

The two of them really felt that Chen Yuan didn't help them with anything, but in the eyes of others, one was Chen Yuan's brother for many years, and the other was a person who was about to become Chen Yuan's son-in-law, which was somewhat suspicious of changing the soup but not the medicine.

Fan Zhongyan originally wanted to talk to Chen Yuan again because of this problem, but when he heard that Chen Yuan was already liquidating the bank's assets and was about to let the imperial court intervene, he calmed down again and wanted to take another look. When he heard that Chen Yuan had formed five so-called foundations with all his assets, Fan Zhongyan was really relieved.

Chen Yuan has done so much, if he still stares at the president of the Chamber of Commerce a little dissatisfied, it is obviously a little too suspicious, after all, Chen Yuan's original promise to him is that anyone who has a membership in the Chamber of Commerce can compete for this position as long as he is elected by everyone.

Anyone, naturally, including his son-in-law and brothers.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Yuan did not interfere in the election, Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji were elected by those businessmen, and there is no reason to deprive them of their qualifications because of their relationship with Chen Yuan, which is also unfair.

Therefore, Fan Zhongyan felt that he could let Chen Shimei go on like this, as long as he really chose to break away from the power center of the Great Song Dynasty in the end, it would be a good thing for him and the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan can also rest assured, and Bao Zheng can also be dumbfounded when he wants to.

However, Fan Chunyou is not as generous as Fan Zhongyan, in his mind, Chen Shimei let his brother and son-in-law come out, just to show everyone. He can use this attitude on the issue of the Chamber of Commerce, and he will also play some petty tricks on the problem of the bank.

People are like this, once they have prejudice against another person, it is wrong to see what the other person does. Regarding Chen Shimei's recent spending on the establishment of several so-called "foundations", Fan Chunyou also believes that Chen Yuan is trying to win people's hearts in order to do something.

When he told Fan Zhongyan his opinion, he was scolded by Fan Zhongyan, Fan Chunyou was doing what Fan Zhongyan also knew about some time ago, he warned Fan Chunyou to stop immediately, don't make some small moves when Chen Shimei is ready to retreat, once Chen Shimei notices something unusual, then Chen Shimei's surname will inevitably try his best to protect himself, and things may become very troublesome.

Fan Chunyou sat alone in the restaurant drinking stuffy wine, and all he heard in his ears was the praise of the people for Chen Shimei, and he was really unhappy in his heart, and some of the sadness of no one in my generation rose from the bottom of his heart, and he drank two pots with his head down, and he didn't realize that he was already slightly drunk.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two pots of good wine immediately, and then cut some vegetables, and I will invite this son to have a drink."
