Chapter 108: Once and for all

"You know, you are making money for me, and you are also making money for you in disguise, but you are my Chen Cao's person."

In the study, Chen Cao looked up at the beam, and then said: "If you want to make the signboard of the Daming Foreign Trade Group loud, first of all, you have to trade with the Taixi countries, and the sea ships in Longjiang Shipyard are almost built, and in terms of Taixi numbers, there are now three 1,000-ton sea ships in my hand..."

Shen Zhuangling had just swallowed the last bite, then raised his head and asked, "Uncle, how much is this thousand tons?" ”

"Three thousand materials..."Chen Cao let out a long breath: "Zheng He's treasure ship is so big... You have to familiarize yourself with Tessie's arithmetic, to tell you the truth, their arithmetic is simple and fast, and it is easy to remember and record, which saves time and manpower compared to our old-fashioned way of recording. ”

Chen Cao continued: "There are seventeen remaining five-hundred-ton sea vessels, plus there are dozens of sea ships of various sizes under your own name, it is still feasible to make a fortune by relying on this." ”

"Uncle, what is our foreign trade group mainly involved in?"

"You are the boss of the group, and according to the name of Tessie, you are the general manager of the group."

"General Manager?" Shen Zhuangling wiped her tears, and Chen Cao's movements gave her a warm feeling: "Slave... The concubine is the general manager? ”

"Yes," Chen Cao turned around and sat on the chair: "Annan rice and Zhancheng rice are all brought in, their grain is cheap, you can buy as much as you want, and then I will let the sailor escort and sell our porcelain and embroidery cloth to Taixi, this matter will be handed over to you, as for the location of the group, it is on Zhengyangmen Street;

As for the other ideas, I plan to hand over all the business to you in the future, and I can trust you to do it. ”

"Hmm..." Shen Zhuangling nodded, actually reflecting the appearance of a little bird.

"Shen Lingmin's matter is coming soon, Mu Qilin has already agreed, I believe that before July this year, I can take your daughter over." Chen Cao said and handed her the key: "This is the key to the shop, and you will be the master in the future." ”

"Uncle," Shen Zhuangling was a little worried: "Madame's side?" ”

"Uncle, Madame is here."

Zhao Xin was guarding outside the door, at this moment Shen Zhuangling had just said something, and someone came, which made her nervous, she was Chinese New Year's Eve four years old today, fourteen years older than Chen Cao, thirteen years older than Li Xiang, the key is that her daughter can get married.

"Uncle, I..."

"Don't worry," Chen Cao had received Li Xiang's approval before, so he was naturally not afraid, so he smiled: "Let Madame come in." ”

Squeak...

"Husband... Madam, the concubine has seen Madame..."Shen Zhuangling still saluted Li Xiang first.

Li Xiang is also a person who knows the general situation, nodded lightly with a smile, and then looked at Chen Cao: "Husband, have you forgotten something?" ”

Chen Cao frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

But seeing that Li Xiang was silent, Shen Zhuangling hurriedly saluted: "Madame and uncle talk slowly, and the concubine will retire first." ”

Li Xiang was very satisfied with Shen Zhuangling's knowledge, and nodded with satisfaction, after seeing Shen Zhuangling go out, Li Xiang changed his face and said angrily: "The study is also a quiet place, husband, why do you always like to do these boudoir things in the study?" Don't you think it's hurtful? ”

Chen Cao smiled, then hugged Li Xiang and said, "I know, but isn't your husband good at this?" ”

...

"I heard that the white girl has been going to the Baoguo Temple to offer incense recently, and her subordinates have asked the receiving monk and said that the white girl has the intention of taking refuge." Zhao Xin said behind Chen Cao.

Chen Cao stopped, looked at the plaque in front of the door and was stunned, and said after a long time: "Send someone back to the house immediately to pick up Mrs. Xinlan, I will wait here." ”

"My subordinates will do it personally."

Chen Cao stood outside the Baifu Gate, and the people at the door recognized Chen Cao, opened the door very interestingly, and then went in to pass the word, but Chen Cao just didn't lift his feet to go in.

"Won't you come in?" Magnolia smiled bitterly: "It's really all a lie." ”

"Miss," the maid trotted in, "the eldest lady and the aunt came together." ”

Magnolia's eyes blinked, and then she said indifferently: "Well, I see." ”

Bai Xinlan's figure is still maintained well even if she has given birth to a child, among the many wives and concubines, only Zhang Chunyao and Bai Xinlan are the most popular with Chen Cao, and the charm of the two is Chen Cao's favorite material, especially Bai Xinlan, who gave birth to a child, has a unique flavor.

"Master," Bai Xinlan was a little worried: "My sister is not usually such a character, I think it's because of my master...."

Chen Cao nodded, and then walked into the lobby, only to see the maid in the hall: "Where is the second young lady?" ”

"Back to my aunt, Miss had a cold a few days ago, and she was resting after drinking medicine, and after the slave maid went to report, Miss asked her aunt and eldest lady to take a rest, and then got up to see her uncle and Miss."

Bai Yulan was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, how did she know that Chen Cao didn't shy away from this at all, and entered her boudoir with Bai Xinlan, Bai Xinlan sat on the edge of the bed, and Chen Cao stood in the distance in front of the bed, looking at this beautiful jade person, his heart suddenly became calm, if it wasn't for someone in the room, he would definitely rush up desperately.

"Ahem..."Chen Cao coughed: "Xinlan, Yulan lives alone in the house and no one takes care of it, even if there are so many people who are sick, it is still very hard to live alone, so let's wait for someone to pack up the important things, or take Yulan to our house and live with you, the two of you can also take care of each other." ”

"No need..."Magnolia refused, "I have a minor illness, and it doesn't hurt." ”

Chen Cao immediately took out the momentum of cutting the world: "I have made up my mind about this matter, I said this in front of your sister today, I Chen Cao is going to condemn you, propose to Lord Bai another day, and marry you." ”

After Chen Cao finished speaking, he turned around and went out, leaving the stunned Magnolia lying on the bed in a daze.

"His temperament is good, my sister is happy, naturally she won't joke with you about such things."

After Chen Cao left, Bai Yulan kept whispering to Bai Xinlan between sisters.

...

"How is it, what does Master Sun think?"

On the general platform of the first division, Chen Cao sat on the handsome seat, and next to him stood Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng respectively.

"When Ben Bo took over the right guard of Nanjing, they were just a group of rabble, Zhejiang was in turmoil, and the then commander Zhang Tiande took the lead in escaping, if it were not for this battle, Ben Bo would not have fallen into the title of the commander of the right guard, it was this rabble, Ben Bo disrupted their reorganization, with the homeless and untouchables as the backbone, creating this brave army;

Now that the thousands of households among them are now transferred to the Dingwu New Army as generals, and the most junior soldiers have become military attachés of the seventh grade, do you think that after the successful training of this new army, can it become a division of a hundred battles? ”

Chen Cao was more satisfied with Song Che's training, after all, he accepted his whole set of thoughts, not to mention that the two are now in-laws, and Chen Cao's army is Song Che's army.

Under the warm spring sun, the officers and men of the First Division wearing new-style military uniforms held their heads high one by one, and they could hear each other's breathing quietly.

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were amazed in their hearts, looking at the Ming army, no team could compare with the Dingwu army, even Lu Xiangsheng, who had seen the white pole soldiers of Shizhu Tusi, also felt that compared with them, the white pole soldiers were just a group of slightly quieter noisy people.

"Uncle Dingwu, Xiaguan..." Lu Xiangsheng spoke first, this kind of military appearance is a division of a hundred battles, he has never seen such a quiet and neat queue.

Chen Cao knew that he was embarrassed to say it, after all, he was a hot-blooded and insightful person: "Ben Bo knows, Ben Bo has already written to Zhang Wenda, presumably there will be a reply in a few days, you can rest assured, when the reply comes, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the ministry, Ben Bo is in charge and will transfer you to the army." ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, just bowed to Chen Cao and stepped aside.

"Although Ben Bo is a eunuch, but what Ben Bo does is all good things for the benefit of the people and himself, of course, you also know that Ben Bo has never framed the integrity and integrity of your Donglin Party, Ben Bo's thinking is very clear, people don't offend me, I don't offend people..."

As soon as Chen Cao's words came out, Sun Chuanting didn't want to say a few more words, although Chen Cao had worked with Tian Ergen before, it was indeed the other party who found fault first.

"Dingwubo..."

"Master Sun," Chen Cao didn't turn his head: "You follow me Chen Cao first, if you think what Ben Bo has done makes you feel that you are not motivated or harmful to the people, you can leave," he said and gave Zhao Messenger a look.

Zhao Xin stepped forward and handed an envelope to Sun Chuanting.

Chen Cao continued: "If you agree, you will accept this letter of appointment appointing you as the chief of staff of the Dingwu Army..."
