Chen Kang partnered with Cai Yaozong, and what he got was nothing more than money and power.

If the children and grandchildren have no income, they will not be able to hold power, and no matter how much money they have, they will not be able to protect them. Once Chen Kang falls, his son can't take his place, and he can't control the power in the dark, Cai Guangzong, who is the governor of Nanyang, doesn't directly swallow the Chen family's property, it's not bad, and it's impossible to protect his son to move forward.

Therefore, Chen Kang wants his children and grandchildren to enjoy prosperity and wealth safely, and what he wants is not money and power, but the income of his children and grandchildren.

He has three grandsons, if one of them is good at arithmetic and enters the house to take charge of Nanyang's money bag, salt and grain are all under control, Bai Dao is in his hands; One learns to paint, enters the torture room to become a painter, deals with people from three religions and nine streams, and the underworld can also eat all. That's what a shrewd man wants.

Thinking about it, Zhou Chun's eyes lit up.

He took a deep look and said in a very respectful tone: "Girl, the villain understands. ”

Zhao Ruxi said: "Don't be in a hurry to test him first, first get to the bottom and see if his bond with Cai Yaozong is very deep." Don't let people take refuge in us openly, and when we teach his children and grandchildren, he is still doing things for Cai Yaozong in private, just fooling us on his face, then he will be wronged. ”

Zhou Chun suddenly froze, and said in a deep voice: "The girl reminded me." If it weren't for the girl's reminder, maybe the villain would have done something wrong. ”

Zhao Ruxi waved his hand: "We are all inexperienced, we are all learning." It's okay, just be careful. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Ruxi turned to ask about business: "How is the business of the rice noodle shop?" ”

When Zhou Chun came, Zhao Ruxi asked him to bring a few people from Zhuangzi to Nanyang to buy a shop and open a rice noodle shop.

The family will choose a few of the children who can do business, release the slaves, and let them buy land and shops in their own names to do business, so that no matter how much business the family does, it will not be in the name of merchants, and their power can make these businesses bigger and stronger.

The children of the family must be attached to the family, and the parents, brothers and even wives and children in the family are still in the house, and they dare not give birth to two hearts, so that the business can be controlled by the family.

Releasing slaves to children is not only to make money for oneself, but also a means of showing favor to one's subordinates.

In view of the ability and loyalty of Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng's family, Zhao Ruxi released Zhou Fan and Ma Wushi as slaves this time.

Zhou Fan originally followed Zhao Ruxi to learn arithmetic, and after learning something, he is now following Zhao Yuanxun and checking the accounts for him. After releasing the slave status, Zhou Fan's son will be able to participate in the imperial examination and get ahead.

After Zhao Ruxi released Ma Wushi's slave status, he rented a few shops in his name, and took some of the money of Bailuzhuang's rich son, as well as a few people who did well in business in Zhuangzi, and started a rice noodle business.

Her purpose in opening a rice noodle shop is not to make money, but to gather information.

Restaurants and teahouses are often places where gossip spreads.

With these shops, she can not only collect news, but also spread it.

Zhou Chun said: "The business is all cooked, and the girls are all those who have done well in the capital, and they have prepared the brine flavor according to the eating habits of Nanyang people, so in just a few days, the business is on track, and now the business is very prosperous." ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "That's good." ”

When Zhou Chun retreated, Zhao Ruxi routinely shouted in his head: "System, Tong'er, baby ......"

But the voice of the system did not ring in her head.

Zhao Ruxi sighed.

It's another day without a system, thinking about it, thinking about it, thinking about it......

If there is a system, she only needs to spend a little points to grasp the situation in Nanyang clearly, where do you need Xiao Lingyan's subordinates and Zhou Chun and others to spend a lot of effort to inquire?

She really misses her family's Tongzi anymore.

After a night's rest, Zhao Ruxi changed into a set of men's clothes the next day, led a few guards out, and wandered around.

After walking for a few days, it was not until there were five days left before the deadline for taking office that Zhao Ruxi put on his official uniform and led Zhou Chun to the yamen.

When the ceremony was passed on and the royal street was praised, the Ministry of Rites customized a female jinshi official uniform for her. But when it comes to officialdom, this official uniform can't be changed casually, and etiquette needs to be followed.

Therefore, Zhao Ruxi is wearing the official uniform worn by male officials and wearing an official hat. However, she did not deliberately pretend to be a man, and others could tell that she was a woman when they looked at her.

Fortunately, she is tall and tall, she is a hanger, she can hold it up, and she does not lose her grace and beauty at all when she wears an official uniform.

"You are ......" The official guarding the door in the yamen saw Zhao Ruxi, and his expression was a little confused, "Lord Xintongzhi?" ”

This new Tongzhi is also too good-looking, right? And so young, it is said that she is still a woman?

He couldn't help but look Zhao Ruxi up and down.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruxi frowned slightly: "Is Lord Zhizhou here?" Zhao Zhiwei came to report. ”

The official came back to his senses, and said with a slight embarrassment on his face: "Yes, Lord Zhao waits." ”

He turned to go to Tongyu, but as soon as he took two steps, he thought something was wrong, and then stopped.

Although this lady is new, since she was appointed by the imperial court, she is the head of the yamen. How can you let her wait here and not let her in?

He hurriedly turned around and said to Zhao Ruxi, "Lord Zhao, please come in." ”

Zhao Ruxi and his entourage followed him into the spacious courtyard of the yamen and were led to the front of a house.

"Lord Liu, the new acquaintance, Lord Zhao, has arrived." The official shouted at the door.

There was a stir in the room, and then an old man with a gray beard came out.

He glanced at Zhao Ruxi, hurriedly raised his hand, and smiled at Zhao Ruxi: "It turned out to be Lord Zhao, you are here." ”

At this time, a person from each side of the room looked at Zhao Ruxi.

One is in his thirties and the other is in his forties, both of medium stature and ordinary appearance. He was tall and thin in his thirties, with a somewhat serious expression; The one in his forties is white-faced and slightly fat, and he looks more kind.

"Xiaguan Zhao Zhiwei, I have seen Lord Liu Zhizhou." Zhao Ruxi saluted the old man first, and then looked to both sides.

She arched her hand and said with a smile: "These two should be Li Tongzhi and Cai Tongzhi, right?" Zhao Zhiwei has seen two adults. ”

The forty-year-old white fat man first smiled and bowed his hand to Zhao Ruxi: "In Xia Cai Yaozong, I have seen Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Ruxi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Sure enough, no one should be disguised.

In the information given to her by Xiao Lingyan, this Cai Yaozong is a typical villain, belonging to the prince's lineage, and needs to be careful.

On the other side, Li Li, who has a serious face, doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, but he is actually a good person.
