Book well, the Olympics made me update less... Niu Niu's opening ceremony is a score if it is a score, I can only give him 58, fail.

When the poppies appeared, the bones thought that Niu Niu was reflecting on the export of opium and felt guilty for the crimes of the Opium War, but he didn't think that he was silently mourning for the murderer who died in the war of aggression, which shows that Great Britain will always be ugly, and John Bull will always be hypocritical.

Of course, we don't need his apologies, nor do we need their introspection, because we believe that one day in the future, the British Isles will become the jewel of the West in the crown of the Empire.

P: Thank you Emperor Bashi for your reward in the past few days, since the restoration and update, Jun's behavior has deeply touched the bones.

Chen Yuting, known as the "rich man", is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life, and pays attention to excellence in everything, especially has special requirements for clothing, food, housing and transportation, so special that he can be described as "picky". Because he is a native of Yixing, he has a soft spot for garden-style houses in Jiangnan. When Wanli entered Beijing as an official in the 41st year, he spent a huge amount of money to build today's mansion in the east of the city, and the rockery trees in the garden were transported from Suzhou and Hangzhou at any cost.

Of course, money is not a rare thing in Chen Caiweng's eyes, he has always believed that money does not mean anything, only by using money in a wonderful way, can he be a person who can use money, and this person who can use money is a real person. Therefore, he has always looked down on the officials in the capital who exploited the local government by going out, thinking that these people are just dirt buns, and they can't be compared with the Chen family, which has a century-old heritage.

The newly appointed Shangshu Lord Zhu Guozhen packed up his things and left without covering his buttocks, which made Chen Yuting very happy, because originally this Shangshu of the Ministry should have been taken over by him, Zhu Guozhen, who was purely sideways and ruined his own good deeds.

It's good now, this guy can't steal chicken and rice on credit, and he lifts a stone to hit himself in the foot, and he has nothing to do to cause trouble, but he offended the emperor and encircled himself.

I heard that Han has already recommended himself as a candidate for the secretary of the ministry, hey, this old boy should have done this a long time ago!

Thinking that he was about to become the new secretary of the ministry, Chen Caiweng's mood was particularly comfortable, and today he was on duty again and Jiang Xu was at home waiting for the good news in the palace, of course, he did not forget to ask the housekeeper Chen Wu to take the account books of the past few days for him to check.

After Chen Wu skillfully made a calculation, he accurately reported the number: "Three antique shops, two gold shops, four cloth shops, six grain stores, plus the income of restaurants and tea shops, after deducting the expenditure, the total is 24,618 taels. Sir, please take a look! ”

After Chen Yuting flipped through it roughly, he put down the account book and nodded to Chen Wu: "Well, it's okay, compared to the previous two months, this month has earned less, but now it's the off-season, and you can't be too forceful." ”

Chen Wu said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and business will be much better by then." Thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "The second master wrote to say that he found that there was a poor talent named Du who was quite studious, very hard-working, and did a good job, and was a good seedling that could be cultivated." ”

"Oh? A Xiucai surnamed Du? ”

Chen Yuting nodded slightly, nodded and said, "Since it is a good seedling, it has to be cultivated." You wrote back to the second master, asking him to seek a famous teacher at any cost, and the visiting master must seriously teach Du Xiucai and focus on training. ”

After listening to the master's instructions, Chen Wu said a little strangely: "Master, the little ones don't understand, why are the old masters and the second master so good to those poor talents that they spend a lot of money to cultivate them?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Yuting glanced at him and said with a smile: "What do you know?" Let me ask you, if on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, this Xiucai surnamed Du was admitted to the Jinshi and entered the court as an official, from a poor scholar to a court official. Who do you think he would be thankful for? ”

Chen Wu thought for a while and blurted out: "If our Chen family gives him money to study, he will naturally feel our Chen family after he finishes his studies!" Because if it weren't for our Chen family's silver, it would be a question of whether he could read this book or not. The draught man does not forget to dig the well, if he doesn't feel that our Chen family is weird. ”

"You get the idea."

Listening to Chen Wu's words, Chen Yuting laughed and said a little proudly: "Actually, master, how could I help those poor scholars for no reason?" Do you really have a lot of money and no place to spend it? The old man is for those poor scholars who will one day feel jī our Chen family, saying that the master is a discerning talent.1 In the heart, I feel jī master, I feel jī our Chen family! How's that, got it? ”

Chen Wu nodded a little as if he didn't understand, and said with some doubts: "But the little ones still don't understand, even if these talents are admitted to the Jinshi and become officials, but what kind of favor can they repay the master with their little money?" ”

"You see, you don't understand when you should understand, and you pretend to understand when you don't!"

Chen Yuting was in a good mood, so it was rare for Chen Wu to explain: "You, everything is good, but there is one thing that is not there." ”

"What?" Chen Wuyi was stunned: I didn't have anything Chen Yuting saw him like this, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't have that long-term vision, let me ask you, sir, do I have that little bit of silver?" ”

Chen Wu instinctively shook his head, as a steward, of course he knew that his master was a real family wealth, and that bit of silver was a lot of gold in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of his old man Chen, it was a hair on the cow's body.

Chen Wu is his own family, Chen Yuting didn't think that there were some things that he couldn't say to him, so he knocked the table with his fingers, and said leisurely: "Master, the reason why I have been cultivating those poor talents who are willing to study hard all these years is for the long-term plan of our Chen family!" ”

What are the long-term plans for the Chen family? Chen Wu still didn't understand, what did it have to do with the Chen family for those poor scholars to study?

Seeing that Chen Wu was still mushy, Chen Yuting Suo said straightforwardly: "Actually, the master spends a lot of money for these scholars to test their fame, of course, it is not to waste the money, let alone to make them feel for the master and the Chen family. Becoming an official in this examination is only the first step, and the second and most important step is to tie these scholars and our Chen family together! Let them become members of my Chen family, so that our Chen family can really go on for a long time, instead of disappearing after three generations, do you understand? ”

Chen Wu shook his head and said puzzledly: "When they became officials, they were people from the imperial court, how did they become members of my Chen family?" ”

Chen Yuting smiled: "Our Chen family has so many rooms, which room doesn't have a girl?" After those poor Xiucai became officials, we will give him the daughter of the Chen family as a wife, so that he is the son-in-law of our Chen family, do you say that there is a son-in-law in the world who does not help his father-in-law's family? What's more, their official is still provided by our Chen family, if he doesn't help our Chen family, who else can he help? As long as he is willing to listen to us, our Chen family and them will be both prosperous and loss-making in the future. Think about it, there are so many officials doing things for our Chen family, isn't our Chen family more prosperous! It's not like there are always people in the court shouting to go to Jiangnan to collect our taxes, but every time they shout, the opposition will fly to the cabinet like snowflakes, and even Shoufu does not approve, you say, where is the mystery in the middle? ”

Chen Wu faintly thought about it, and said excitedly: "Little one understands, isn't the master saying that those officials who oppose it are all provided by our Chen family?" Immediately, he frowned, and said a little strangely: "Master, in this way, isn't this just a conspiracy with power?" ”

"What is the sī of power? Sling the bull! Master, I'm a sage reader, and the most important thing is to talk about that integrity, how can I do that bastard thing with power! ”

Chen Wu's statement made Chen Yuting very angry, why didn't this guy open up! hated iron and reprimanded him: "Master, I have always been high-sounding in doing things, today the lord is in a good mood, you might as well say a few more words to you, why is our Chen family so rich, the root is that we don't pay taxes, if the court wants to levy our taxes, our life will not be so good." Therefore, we must install our own people in the imperial court, so that once we encounter tricky matters such as taxation by the imperial court, we can ask those officials who are tied to us to write to the emperor, tell the emperor not to compete with the people for profit, and exempt Jiangnan industrialists and businessmen from taxes, so as to benefit the people.................. Don't you understand who these people are? ”

"Got it! Now the little one finally understands! ”

Chen Wu really understood that the purpose of daring to love the old man and being willing to spend a lot of money for those poor scholars was to get the court not to collect taxes. After a pause, he pursed his lips and said, "But what if......... The little one is talking about what if, for example, the Du Xiucai mentioned by the second master was released as a magistrate after being promoted to the jinshi? In this way, he is not an official in the capital, how can he write to help us? ”

Chen Wu's question made Chen Yuting couldn't help but laugh again: "It would be better if it was released, don't forget, master, I am the left shìlang of the ministry, and in two days, maybe it will be the secretary of the ministry, you said that the lord and I directly let the surnamed Du go to our Jiangnan to be a county prefect or something, it's not a trivial matter." The local parents and officials are all from my Chen family, no matter how heavy the board of the court is, how many points can you say can really fall? ”

After hearing this, Chen Wu looked at Chen Yuting with admiration on his face, and sighed in his heart: "The little one really admires the master!" "The master is the master, this vision can see the long term, and this method is really clever.

"Let me tell you, Jiangnan is not only our Chen family doing these things, but there are many Chen families doing it, when countless Chen families are doing the same thing with the master, and when countless Du Xiucai Du adults are raised, we are all in a group, if outsiders dare to go against us, we will unanimously defeat him, drive him out of the court, and make him never turn over!" Chen Wu's vision made Chen Yuting very useful, and in his own house, there was no door to speak, and he was a little carried away for a while. What do you think, as soon as the words fell, someone outside the hall asked on the side: "The gang that Lord Chen said is not the Donglin Party?" ”！。
