The emperor also became interested in Zhu Chang'an.

The martial master he selected for Zhu Changan was a serious teacher in the palace, and he was a stubborn and upright old guy, and it was impossible to look away or be bought.

Master Wu will enter the palace almost every other day to report on the martial arts practice of the four princes.

It is said that the four princes have practiced swords for just a few days, which is enough for ordinary people to achieve the results of half a year......

After the dispersal of the dynasty that day, the emperor left Zhu Changan and took a few generals to watch him practice a few moves with the martial master. Several generals were amazed and congratulated the emperor.

And the emperor's eyes were also shining, full of praise, for the first time he was a little happy with this son, and he rewarded a few good things at once......

The emperor's favor also added a bargaining chip to Zhu Changan.

For a time, the originally inconspicuous Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince became the two dark horses with the most momentum and neck and neck.

And Zhu Changan's rapid progress is largely due to his familiarity with sword moves.

Of course, he also works hard.

Since he had promised the princess to abstain from sex before, in order to successfully win the princess, he could only find various reasons to avoid sexual intercourse with Wang Yue.

And he wanted to get Wang Yue's property, so he couldn't let Wang Yue feel left out. So he simply devoted a lot of time to sword training every day. In order to increase the power of the sword, he even got up before dawn every day to practice qi and run......

In this way, he has to be busy with the southern tour every day, and he has to seize the time to strengthen his body and practice martial arts, and he naturally has an explanation from the princess and Wang Yue.

And the more he practiced, the more the martial master felt that he was improving by leaps and bounds every day. Plus, who doesn't like hard-working and motivated disciples? Master Wu is more serious about teaching, and he is even more diligent in praising the Four Princes in front of the Holy Lord and everyone!

And what Zhu Changan wants is such a reputation! Does he really plan to rely on the force of his three-legged cat to fight the world?

He has no interest in fighting, killing, and killing, what he wants is to seek the world!

That's why he's willing to work so hard. As long as the emperor and courtiers think a little bit higher of him, it will be enough!

And what he insisted on was just a few days. After all, the southern tour has been back and forth, and it will take two or three months. Who will be staring at his swordsmanship during this time?

Zhu Changan's abacus played very loudly!

His reputation has almost been restored, and more and more of his subordinates and staff have come to take refuge. Because of the relationship between the more officials and the secretary's book, he also successfully installed and secretly picked up several henchmen who were favored by Ni Lao in the sixth department......

The list of the Southern Tour is out.

There are more than 2,000 royal family members, some officials, palace maids and palace maids, plus the accompanying Imperial Forest Army.

The Queen Mother is not happy, she is willing to celebrate with the whole world but does not want to work for the people and lose money. She is afraid of complaining, she is afraid of losing her blessings! So the list was reduced, and in the end, there were still more than 1,000 people.

In order to ensure safety, the emperor also ordered Li Chun to secretly transfer thousands of people to be responsible for the defense of the dark places, while General Bai led a royal forest army to ensure the safety of each stop by land......

In mid-September, the mighty royal fleet finally began its southern tour.

And during this period of time, Cheng Ziyu has been making pottery in the mountains.

Several of her gifts have been completed.

The mess that the Cheng family fell into due to Cheng Hao's departure is gradually getting on track.

And her good deeds were praised by merchants from the north and south, and soon spread. During this time, in addition to her reputation as "the best pottery rookie today", she also gained the title of "the great benevolent person of the world".

The money used by the Cheng family to do good deeds was not in the hands of others, and all of them were implemented by Ziyixuan, so the effect was very good, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen good halls have been erected in the entire Jiangnan.

Originally, many people who were skeptical of her good deeds closed their mouths when they saw that the clean, tidy and open charity hall was built, and the daily distribution was not stale rice gruel but crystal rice.

Seeing this, there are a lot of rich people who are willing to contribute to the bricks, and they contribute one by one.

And Cheng Ziyu specially instructed all the families or individuals who had added donations to engrave their names and donations on the outer wall of the charity hall, and secretly took the larger ones as examples, and carried out a lot of erection and propagation......

As a result, many people are eyeing the benefits of doing good.

the official gentry who want to make a good name; a rich man who is poked in the backbone by fearful people; The girls who wanted to ask for a good name opened their fanny packs......

For a time, the upper and middle classes in the entire Jiangnan area suddenly became popular for doing good deeds, and a large amount of donations were gathered to Ziyixuan from all directions......

Cheng Ziyu's move does have the purpose of adding fuel to the fire, and the more the better. Although doing good deeds is beautiful, it is also a bottomless pit. Good deeds are always inexhaustible, and the Yangtze River basin in summer is already waterlogged, and she has allocated several sums of money one after another, which is inevitably a little difficult.

She didn't expect that the donation would be more and more, and she would no longer have to worry about it.

Zi Yixuan has to deal with a large number of bits and pieces of money and accounts every day, even if Cheng Ziyu hires five more account offices and allocates a number of subordinates to be responsible for the money for good deeds, he still has some spare energy.

On this day, the Cheng family ushered in a rare guest.

The richest man in Jiangnan is here.

Wan Jia came from their second son, Wan Mingyang. Cheng Ziyu was startled when she heard his name, and quickly got up to greet him......

In his previous life, like Li Chun, this Wan Mingyang was the guy that Cheng Ziyu and Zhu Changan had worked hard for many years to climb. Wanjia has been a first-class wealthy family since the past. The huge family business has been steadily expanding for many years, until this Wan Mingyang began to enter the helm of the Wanjia family......

Wanjia suddenly showed explosive development. Wan Mingyang is proficient in several languages, and his means of making money are very simple and effective - Tongfan!

In this era, the silk, grain, and tea in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty were delivered to the Fan country by sea in exchange for a large number of gold, silver, gemstones, and pearls. And those jewels that people don't look down on, but in the Great Zhou, they are the existence of the upper class.

Even in some island countries, a pound of tea can be exchanged for a handful of pearls.

Therefore, the profit of a trip is at least dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, compared with domestic trading! However, the risks associated with such a lucrative trade are also enormous! Such as natural disasters, such as man-made disasters.

However, this Wan Mingyang is capable of doing this business. He became famous at a young age, and in just over ten years, he has accumulated the wealth of thousands of families to an uncountable position.

It is rumored that he has real estate in various countries, has dealings with high-level officials in various countries, and even colludes with pirates......

Wan Mingyang's rich industry behind him is naturally coveted!

However, he did not hesitate to pay a huge amount of taxes every year, and he was keen to build bridges and pave roads in the local area, so although he was worried, it was expected that the court where he paid the golden eggs every year would not kill him for eggs, but also gave his father and brother two official titles......

Such a person is naturally something that everyone is willing to befriend! If he has his support and relies on a steady supply of funds, even if he builds his own army, it may not be impossible to conquer the world......

But this Wan Mingyang, like Li Chun, is the smartest thing about being unwilling to stand aside, he is unwilling to participate in any political struggle, he only befriends the court and the emperor, and no one else is in his eyes.

In the previous life, such a big man who couldn't see him came to the door in person, and Cheng Ziyu was naturally a little frightened.

Cheng Ziyu's imagination of Wan Er Ye should be silk and satin, full of gold and jade, and full of belly fat, but in reality, Wan Er is a dark-skinned, slender figure, and a son-in-law without gold and silver, which makes people feel good at a glance.

It's just that he has a pair of eagle eyes, and his eyes seem to be bottomless and deep, and he can't explore to the end, but at the same time, he is mysterious and fierce, and people dare not despise him.

Wan Er didn't stay long, and only stayed in Cheng's Mansion for a cup of tea. He admired Cheng Ziyu, not only because Cheng Ziyu took out the tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go, but also because Cheng Ziyu only used a small method of four taels of thousands of catties to make those rich people who had nothing to do in the past generously......

Wan Erye said that he was willing to contribute and add a handful of firewood. He brought 20,000 taels of silver and donated 300 quintals of rice and 5,000 pieces of cloth. He even made a promise that as long as the charity hall was in one day, he would give out this amount of money unconditionally every year......

"You don't fit this matter on you, hand it over quickly!" Wan Mingyang specially instructed Cheng Ziyu before leaving. "You know what I mean?"

Cheng Ziyu nodded again and again.

She originally did her own way to do good, but at the moment, all the money was flying into her hands, which was obviously inappropriate. She is hated and coveted, and it will be sooner or later that she is defiled by others.

"You go to the Liangjiang Yamen! Such a good thing, they will definitely take it! Hand them all over, don't be afraid of being greedy, even if you are greedy, it is better than getting into trouble! This is all about doing good deeds and accumulating blessings, and you just do your duty! ”

"That's what I thought too! Thank you for your advice! ”

Cheng Ziyu was deeply blessed.

She felt the kindness of this Second Master Wan. They have no friendship, and it is indeed commendable that he can speak such a loyal word!

"Good girl! If you give something, you will get it! It's a big deal! Wan Mingyang looked at Cheng Ziyu, "It's abrupt when you come down, you should have brought some courtesy!" But the girl doesn't love jewelry, gold and silver, and I, who only have a blockage, don't know what to give. ”

He touched around him, and finally took a jade pendant from the pendant.

"I'm a man who loves to make friends. Today I saw that the girl was still speculative, so I sent a jade pendant as a token, if the girl needed help, he took this jade pendant to my family of any industry squeak, as long as it is within the scope of the ability and not too excessive, in the decision to help. ”

Pingshui got such a benefit?

Cheng Ziyu subconsciously wanted to resign.

But the second master left without replying after speaking.

"Silly girl, the promise given by my second master is not acceptable to others, so don't accept it quickly!" Wan Mingyang's girl shook Cheng Ziyu's arm and persuaded with a smile......

Cheng Ziyu personally took the money to the Liangjiang Yamen in Jinling that day.

The yamen watched her take the initiative to bring several boxes of money, both silver tickets and cash money, and almost laughed and trembled.

The yamen decided to organize a small department for the disposal of these donations...... Like Miss Cheng, they will also be transparent about the whereabouts of all the money, and release it every ten days, so that everyone's kindness will be implemented......

The Yamen gang was the same as Wei Zhixian, and they were eager to accumulate merit in front of the approaching royal family. It can be said that Cheng Ziyu came just right! And Cheng Ziyu also believes that for the sake of these people's black yarn and future, these donations will definitely be used to the best in a short period of time......

The head of the yamen patted his chest and agreed, these days, the Cheng family and Miss Cheng Si will be reported to the court by 1510, and they will definitely seek an honor and reward for Miss Cheng!

Cheng Ziyu's "acquaintance" has gained great satisfaction from the Liangjiang Yamen, and although Wei Zhixian, who was skipped, has a lot of complaints about this, he only dares to be sour secretly, and when it comes to the face, he still nods to the Cheng family......

In the support of Jingxi artists, Cheng Ziyu's people really found a lot of manufacturable materials that were hindered by the constraints of silver money and were difficult to develop high.

After receiving the help of the Cheng family, they were grateful to Dade and made a vow, saying that if they had the ability in the future, they would only follow the Cheng family and devote themselves to the growth of Jingxi and the promotion of good deeds......

The chamber of commerce of Jingxi pottery industry was also organized. Several major families take turns to be the president. For a time, the entire Jingxi market was regulated a lot. The market is in good order, attracting more merchants......

However, due to the gradual southward movement of the royal family, merchants who wanted to enter Jingxi began to be restricted. At the beginning of this period, there were significantly fewer merchants in Jingxi.

After that, Ziyu received a letter from Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin got the approval and the royal invitation to participate in the birthday banquet of the Pan family in Jinling on September 28......

At dusk that day, Cheng Ziyu had just come out of the kiln, and was loosening his muscles and planning to eat something, when he heard a commotion in the backyard.

A large circle of subordinates is surrounding Lao Gui in the backyard.

High in the canopy, there is a silver-gray figure.

didn't see his face, just a glance, Cheng Ziyu already recognized him.

Who else but him? Who else could make her subordinates open the courtyard without any scruples, without asking her?

And what Cheng Ziyu was really surprised about was that the first reaction in her heart was...... Surprise? There was no rejection or dislike, she actually welcomed him so uninvited?

Well, it must be because I owe him several favors! It's because she subconsciously wants to return the favor!

After making excuses for herself, Cheng Ziyu took a closer look at the person on the tree.

At this time, Li Chun was picking the osmanthus flowers at the top of the tree. He skillfully pulled strings of finely chopped osmanthus flowers from the branches into the open placket of his clothes......

Cheng Ziyu suddenly felt a little funny, so she hugged her chest and leaned on the pillar to watch......

After being reborn once, the general was like a different person, which often surprised her.

He also picked jasmine before, and the pavilion was also repaired, and even the osmanthus was picked at this time, so next time, should he pick up the hoe and go to the ground?

Oh no, last time he dug bamboo shoots...... Haven't you already picked up a hoe?

How did Cheng Ziyu not know his intentions? I had made it clear to him last time, but he didn't seem to be moved...... She couldn't help but sigh.

This season is the time when osmanthus flowers bloom at their most lively.

The slanting sunset hit him, and he was covered in a layer of golden-red light, even if the man was so focused on his work, he still had a compelling brilliance.

Xu felt her gaze, Li Chun looked back, and then smiled happily at her......
