Chapter 686: The Brilliant Brightness

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast, the air was getting more and more stuffy, and it was still hot to sit there in single clothes and enjoy the orchid fan. Champa kept wiping the sweat from Chen Xie's forehead, and the bewitching orchid dancer put down the fan, took the ice drink in the maid's hand and handed it over, and took a sip of Wu Yin, who was no longer very strange: "Master, drink some ice drink and rest." ”

As she grew older, the sixteen-year-old orchid is now fuller. I've been living in this garden.,It's usually not restricted.,You can go wherever you want.,I haven't seen her say anything homesick.,There's no intention of running away.。 The life here makes her feel happy, and she won't leave if she is let go. She also gave herself a Chinese name, Lan Hong. Meaning, there are blue eyes, as deep as a pool of water.

Zhou Xiuying, who came in with iced sour plum soup, looked at the two people who were tired of being together on a hot day and were not afraid of prickly heat, and coughed. Lan Hong quickly got up from Chen Xie's thigh, stood aside and bowed his head to make a small gesture. Putting down the plate, Zhou Xiuying glared at her and said, "On such a hot day, why don't you fan the master, what kind of sass?" I still want to continue scolding, and when I saw Chen Xie's brows furrowed, I immediately shut up. picked up the sour plum soup and sent it to Chen Xie's mouth: "Master, please use it." ”

Chen Xie smiled, took the bowl and put it down, "You go and call Xianyun, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Zhou Xiuying looked puzzled, what could Chen Xie discuss with them? Now Chen Xie has a young team in charge of business, and he has never looked at the number of jù and does not ask about the details. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the business affairs of the two women?

Suspicious, Wanfu came out to find Ye Xianyun who was taking his son, these two girls both gave birth to a son, and Ye Xianyun fed herself with enough milk. Zhou Xiuying couldn't do it, so she had to ask a wet nurse. The son is naturally the heart and soul of the two, but he is also a competitor. Now that the two children are weaned, Ye Xianyun still insists on taking it by herself, and Zhou Xiuying feels that this is unnecessary.

"What's wrong? The face is so ugly? Ye Xianyun, who was in a good mood, quipped, and Zhou Xiuying stepped forward and whispered in her ear. Ye Xianyun's expression changed a few times, then he got up and said, "Then go, don't delay." It looks very indifferent, but in fact, both of them are quite nervous, and now they are in charge of each stall in their hands, Zhou Xiuying is mainly in charge of silk production, and Ye Xianyun is in charge of cotton cloth. With the continuous expansion of the scale of the enterprise, the shares in their hands have been continuously diluted. To say that there is no sense of crisis is false.

"Let's all go down!" Seeing the two of them coming in, Chen Xie waved his hand and sent the others away. There were only three people left in the room, Chen Xie pointed to the two agreements on the desk and said, "There are names on it, one for each person, take them all and take a look." ”

The two looked suspicious, holding their respective agreements and looking at them, and soon the two women began to wipe their tears. These two people did not see Chen Xie's house, and they belonged to the nature of the outer room. In Daming, he is not qualified to divide the family property. But Chen Xie's two agreements are very clear. The son born to the two of them, following his mother's surname, Huating New District belongs to the silk factory and cotton factory under the name of the group, and from today onwards, they are all under the name of the two as living expenses for their son. The ownership of this garden belongs to Orchid Orchid.

It's just that the company is in their name. They can also get 3 million silver dollars for the funds in the bank account, which can be used as working capital. Chen Xie's silk factory and cotton cloth factory are the largest enterprises in Jiangnan, with about 2,000 workers. The value of the market estimate. That's around two million silver yuan, and that's not counting the value of what will be produced in the future. Coupled with the silver dollars that can be obtained in the bank, they are now both super rich women.

After reading it, the two women knelt down, hugged their heads and cried. The qiē that Chen Xie gave them was unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty, and under normal circumstances, only when Chen Xie died, could they have the opportunity to inherit part of Chen Xie's inheritance outside. Not to mention the fact that the child has the mother's surname, it is simply unimaginable. Chen Xie gave them a treatment that was unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty, you know, they are just dispensable outer rooms, to put it mildly, there is no chance to enter the door.

Chen Xie sat there and didn't move, looking at the two of them crying with a smile on his face, and he didn't say a word of persuasion, letting them vent. Finally, Ye Xianyun was calmer, stood up and kowtowed to Chen Xie three times: "Even if the master wants the slave and maid to die now, the slave and maid are willing." Zhou Xiuying followed and kowtowed: "Slaves and maids have no words, they are all masters in their lives." ”

Chen Xie got up and helped the two of them up: "You are wrong, from beginning to end, I didn't treat you as an object, you are human beings, people like me." In my heart, we are equal. When I say this, you may not be able to understand it now, just accept it. These industries in Huating, without your huge energy, would not be where we are today. Over the years, the silver has earned enough, and even the principal and interest have long been returned. As a father, I don't have much energy to educate my children, so I have to ask you for all of this, and I should thank you for that. ”

"Master, don't you dare to say that, if you say that again, the slave can only die." The two women spoke in unison, Chen Xie had no choice but to crook his mouth, smiled and raised his hand to wipe the tears of the two and said, "Okay, that's it, my face is crying, hurry up and wash it." ”

Although they are both forty years younger, the faces of the two girls are still gorgeous, but they are not as compact as they were back then. For Orchid, a little jealousy in the hearts of these two people is gone at this moment. took out a champa and wiped his face, and each of them called the maid to come in and serve, fetch water to wash his face, clean up and then speak. Chen Xie accompanied the two of them to talk considerately for a while, and the room was happy for a while.

"It's a very hot day, and it looks like it's going to rain heavily." Chen Xie glanced outside, the clouds were getting denser and denser, and this was the door that came in and said, "Master, Lord Xia brought a few people to ask for a meeting." Chen Xie was stunned fiercely, looked at the time and said, "It's so fast." "Wu Meicun and the Du family's father and son, Chen Xie will not be too surprised. The only thing to worry about is Chen Zilong, who has a strong personality, even if the Du family's father and son and Wu Meicun refused to give in for a while, Chen Xie was fully prepared and couldn't clean it up.

Chen Zilong is a person, Chen Xie has always wanted to take it under his command, but this guy is more stubborn. Fortunately, they are all from Jiangnan, looking at the great changes in Jiangnan, and watching the Ming Dynasty develop in a good direction, Chen Xie believes that he can be moved.

"Let them in!" After nodding, Chen Xie explained to the second daughter: "You go down to prepare, and I will leave them down for dinner." For the future of the Ming Dynasty, I hope to have a few more Qian Muzhai. Chen Xie's words can be regarded as respectful, otherwise there is no need to explain. The two of them nodded, and Ye Xianyun turned back at the door and said, "Master, the slave doesn't understand national affairs, and only knows how to do what the master says." Chen Xie smiled and waved his hand, and the two went out one after another, leaving a shaky door curtain.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and it was already dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. Xia Yunyi and the others were waiting in the corridor in the front yard, watching the lightning like a snake between the dark clouds overhead, constantly tearing open the dark gaps, Chen Zilong said thoughtfully: "Ruan Xiuning is in the prefect of Songjiang, but he has done a lot of things. From the government's expenses, a lot of silver was taken out to dredge the rivers and repair the ditches, and there were no major disasters in these years. Compared with his predecessor, the folk reputation is much stronger. ”

When it came to this, everyone was silent. For Ruan Dacheng, the Restoration Society has always been a typical representative of the black to the dead. This guy is an official fan, and his heart is not big, and in terms of moral standards, he is not recognized by these so-called scholars. is also such a person, who should be useless, but under Chen Xie's command, he actually did a good job.

Xia Yunyi said with a smile: "You don't know, for officials, the cabinet attaches more importance to his ability to govern. The Cabinet believes that the issue of personal morality should be constrained by the system, rather than simply personal cultivation. Since the beginning of Yang Minggong, Mr. Yingshan has been cautious and independent, and the cabinet department is very unimpressed. In private, he once said that Daming scholars are like Liu Niantai, and Daming has no officials to do things. The first thing a competent official should think of is how to make the life of the people under his rule better every day, and the country stronger every day. If you don't have the vision of the world, how can you deal with the intricacies of national affairs? Is it possible to educate all the people of the Ming Dynasty into Liu Zongzhou? What a joke! ”

These words were really unkind, but everyone present could not refute them, and fell into silence. The Ming Dynasty started from the apocalypse, day by day, in their opinion, of course, there is the disaster of eunuchs, but what about after Chongzhen ascended the throne? The Donglin Party, which was busy with party struggles and had no specific ability for major national affairs, was thrown aside by Zhu Youzhen after a short period of glory.

Historically, Donglin and Fushe have had reflective people, and the reflection of this time and space is even stronger. Historically, the Qing Dynasty did not necessarily do better than the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Kangqian Dynasty was based on the sharp decline in population and the increase in grain production brought about by alien species. The reform of the Ming Dynasty led by Chen Xie in this time and space was based on a tattered foundation, solving the country's financial difficulties, expanding by force, and solving many internal contradictions step by step. In fact, these contradictions are not resolved, but covered up. Anyway, the literati of the Ming Dynasty can't see it.

"Boom!" A thunderclap exploded in their ears, and when everyone looked up at the sky in shock, they found that it was already dark all around, and it was difficult to see the five fingers in broad daylight. At this time, I heard footsteps, and there was a soft snap, and a light suddenly appeared overhead, and when I looked up, I found that a lamp was illuminating, and I didn't use lamp oil?

The first time you saw the electric light, all of you turned into statues, bosses with open mouths. I couldn't understand what the electric light was all about, let alone the brilliance of the light.

"Huh! Don't panic, it's an electric light! The guards who turned on the lights, with an expression of looking at the buns, led them inside, constantly pulling the switch all the way, and the lights turned on one by one. (To be continued......) R1292
