Chapter 151: The Emperor's Sycophants Must Be Filmed Well
Cao Huachun looked at Chen Xie in a daze with a smile, finished his words with a smile, and thought to himself that this thing was crazy with joy, right? Only then did he say: "Chen Sihua, don't you want to be grateful?" "Oh, thank you, Lord Long!" Chen Xie was still a little dizzy, secretly thinking that the military attache of the Ming Dynasty was so unprecedented? How to throw it out casually is a general.
"Get up, sit down and talk!" Cao Huachun's voice is a bit sharp, and it is difficult for Chen Xie to listen carefully.
They all sat down, the atmosphere returned to normal, and Cao Huachun said: "Chen Sihua." "Grass people, uh, lowly duty!" Chen Xie reacted fairly quickly and quickly corrected his meaning. If you want to say that this general is not valuable, Chen Xie never thought of being a military general, and now he is an official given by the emperor, so it is okay to do it if you want to, but the emperor will definitely not think that you are a high wind and bright festival, but will think that you don't want to work for the emperor.
"After you go back, train well, I'm afraid your majesty will be of great use to you." Even if this is Cao Huachun's personal gift, it is useless, Chen Xie doesn't care at all. But since it was in front of Cao Huachun, this could not be said nonsense. In the current Ming Dynasty, the overall structure is still relatively stable, and there is a relatively long period of stability. Chen Xie, who didn't plan to pull the flag and rebel, just wanted to live a good life, naturally wanted to be a man and an official in peace. Besides, this evil feudal centralized monarch Zhu Youzhen doesn't seem to be so bad. Although the money is stingy, the official is very generous.
"Father-in-law Cao, you are here, don't say anything about politeness. Please report to His Majesty on behalf of his humble position, Chen Xie is willing to be His Majesty's minion. What the Holy Command refers to is the direction of the sword and spear of the lowly position. Chen Xie hurriedly showed his loyalty, and he didn't need money for good words. Besides. Recently, I've been addicted to grabbing, who is not robbing this? Besides, it is too difficult for the status quo of the Ming Dynasty to change. Chen Xie didn't plan to hurt this brain, there were too many things to do.
This reaction was still expected by Cao Huachun. After some politeness, Chen Xie accompanied him to drink and eat, and then Cao Huachun returned with a full load when he left. However, Cao Huachun, who left, did not mean to be particularly excited, but had a little regret. Chen Xie didn't even mean to throw himself into the arms of the "eunuch party". Belch. This thought made Cao Huachun shudder, Chen Sihua was willing to be His Majesty's minions, this is not something he should worry about.
When Cao Huachun left, Chen Xie found that Wang Qinian's face was excited. It's like her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for him. Kneeling in front of you and crying. Belch. Chen Xie then remembered that there seemed to be more than one confession document on the table. Pick it up and take a look. Damn, Wang Qinian also made a guerrilla attack on this goods, no wonder he was so excited. In this way, it is still worth the effort. Well, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are indeed not that valuable, but giving two positions at a time can be regarded as Longen.
The next day, Cao Huachun returned to Beijing and reported to Chongzhen, which triggered Zhu Youzhen's contemplation, and he was surprised: "This Chen Xie, are you going back to Dengzhou?" Jiannu is still in Beizhili, and I have also made him a general, why does he still want to leave? â
Cao Huachun is now one of Chen Xie's guarantors, after all, this general has his kind words. "Long live Lord, the slave also asked Chen Sihua about this matter, and his explanation was that the team had been out for several months, and the American medicine brought back and forth for the war was exhausted. His team relied on American medicine to fight the war. The slave and maid witnessed that the platoon of guns was striking with an astonishing momentum, and those who blocked it would die, but it was also consumed very quickly. These medicines, Daming could not produce, thanks to imports from the Americas, so they had to go back. â
This is an excuse made by Chen Xie, and it is also a cover, you think, the Ming Dynasty is from the Americas, how can it take more than a year to go back and forth, so that Chen Xie's troops can fight again, and it will not pose too much of a threat.
Cao Huachun's explanation, Zhu Youzhen accepted, nodded and sighed: "This time King Qin, I'm afraid that his family will also be consumed." On the side of the household, I can't take out any silver, and I'm ashamed of him. â
Cao Huachun said with a smile: "Long live Lord, the slave and maid also asked about this, listen to him, relying on the trade of goods in the Americas, he can support it." It's just that this round trip is too far, and when there is a storm at sea, the ship capsizes and there is no return. Chen Xie also said that what he was most worried about was that someone would join him and deduct him from the crime of privately forming a foreign domain. â
Zhu Youzhen listened and sneered: "Joke, if Da Ming can have ten more Chen Xie, how much silver can the imperial court save?" Go back and ask someone to bring him a message, and I will say that I know about it. "What do you mean to know? That's tacit approval! At the same time, it is also a handle, this is the art of being an emperor. Zhu Youzhen was very proud of this. Secretly, Chen Sihua is afraid that he wants to thank him.
Cao Huachun took advantage of Zhu Youzhen's happiness and said interesting things about this trip, such as Chen Xie's many faux pas, etc., at first Zhu Youzhen was also very happy, always with a smile, and then gradually sank his face and said: "The civil official is too bad!" That Song Yi, knowing that Chen Xie didn't understand, didn't even remind one or two in advance. â
Cao Huachun ......! Song Yi is really wronged in this lying gun!
As a minion, Cao Huachun hurriedly thought of something to make the emperor happy, and immediately took out a list and said: "Long live the Lord, it is the American goods that Chen Sihua paid tribute to, you look at the list." â
"Send it to the harem, I want to see the excerpts!" Zhu Youzhen is really a diligent emperor, and he doesn't care about tribute or anything. The emperor doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the harem doesn't care. Queen Zhou saw the gift list, so she naturally wanted to take a good look. Seeing the two long wooden boxes that were brought in at the end, I was very curious to open them. What's even more curious is that there is also a note posted on the box, and a dry eunuch carefully follows the seven or eight procedures of the note, and opens it layer by layer, and Queen Zhou's "ah" exclaimed.
Queen Zhou, who is not from a high background, is relatively rare in the position of queen. Strict temperament and frugal life. Take the palace maid to weave cloth in the harem and cook by yourself, which is a trivial matter.
When she looked at a one-person-high mirror in front of her, even the queen was moved. couldn't help but sigh after exclaiming: "This Chen Sihua, I don't know how much effort it took to transport such a thing back from thousands of miles away." This glass mirror is a fragile object. â
Cao Huachun faced Queen Zhou in the harem, and still replied respectfully: "Niangniang, the slave also asked Chen Sihua, what did he say that this mirror was not shipped back from the Americas, but made in the Daming workshop. It's just that this big mirror is too difficult to make, and it took a year to make two sides, and it wasn't all sent by the slaves. He also said that even if he dared to sell this mirror, no one would dare to buy it. This has to be such a noble character as Niangniang to be worthy. â
"This Chen Xie is a loyal minister." Empress Zhou didn't read much, and her worldview was also very simple.
It is not easy to mix in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's sycophants must be filmed well, and Longyan Dayue will have a way to make money. Being an official or not, Chen Xie doesn't care, being able to earn money is the most important thing.
The brigade started this time, and this time it did not take the land route, but took the sea route instead. As a result, he naturally regretted that his intestines were green, and he vomited all the way to Dengzhou at sea, Chen Xie's adaptability was very strong, and he resisted stubbornly, and drifted at sea for seven days, which was regarded as returning to his old nest Dengzhou, and his legs were floating when he went ashore. In fact, even if he doesn't resist, he can't jump into the sea.
The gongs and drums on the pier were noisy, and the crackling of firecrackers. Officials at all levels in Dengzhou and representatives of major business houses arrived. Warmly welcome the return of the God of Wealth. Don't say it, in recent times, everyone has been worried, for fear that the divine doctor will not come, and everyone's financial route will be cut off.
Chen Xie went ashore to know that when he boarded the boat, a light boat had already taken the first step to report the news.
When he landed on the shore, he saw Zhang Yao in an official uniform standing on the dock, Chen Xie was a little dizzy, stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Zhang, who are you?" "Zhang Yao's life has changed in this time and space, and when Jin Yiwei inquired about Chen Xie, he also reported it to him. Chongzhen thought about it, this Zhang Yao has Chen Xie, a cheap nephew, how can he be worthy of him if he doesn't make good use of it.
So, Zhang Yao was reinstated and served as a patrol of Dengzhou soldiers, and Wang Tingqian was implicated by Yuan Chonghuan and sent home to retire. The prefect Xiao Yu continued to do his prefect, and when he saw Chen Xie, he also greeted him warmly, and he didn't put on any show.
Chen Xie stayed in Dengzhou for a day, and without waiting to slow down, he returned to Zhangjiazhuang the next day, which was naturally lively again. In the spring of this year, there is still little rain, but there is no problem of zĂ i irrigation in the three or four villages around Zhangjiazhuang, and the benefits of Mr. Chen's drilling of wells are reflected.
The fields were green, and the people cheered along the way. Chen Xie's team is really popular, there is no way not to welcome it. The people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns can have a bite to eat, thanks to Master Chen. Landless peasants who really couldn't survive went to work in workshops, worked on construction sites, and then went to dig coal.
Well, in fact, coal digging is now the most popular profession, with a low threshold and high wages. Even if it's not safe, who cares about that? A few days ago, a kiln collapsed, Yao Laoliu found Liu Qingyi to discuss, eight people died, according to the original employment contract, one person died with 100 taels of silver. None of the family members made trouble, and they told people everywhere that the shopkeepers in the house of the miracle doctor were all good people.
Chen Xie felt ridiculous when he found out, according to one tael of silver and a thousand yuan, this is a hundred thousand yuan for a human life, this is too black-hearted, right? Nima Ming Dynasty's life is not worth much. What's even more hateful is that Yao Lao Liu's goods also deducted twenty taels from others, and Chen Xie knew about it, and asked people to arrest him, beat him up, and compensate for twenty taels of silver, not counting, but also give twenty taels to those family members. It's too reactionary to open a private court. As a result, the reactionary bureaucrat Zhang Yao found out and said that Chen Xie handled it very well, and this kind of unscrupulous businessman should let him empty both his money and his money.
Gossip aside, when our miracle doctor came to the entrance of Zhangjiazhuang's village, the scene immediately boiled. The reason for this incident is because after the big girl Yujing learned that the old man had become a general, she waved her hand: "Set up a flowing water banquet for three days, and the people in the village will come to eat casually."
