When Chen Kan strode to the auditorium, he saw the little eunuch who delivered the decree walking around the hall with a panicked face and a floating dust.

Chen Kan slowed down, as if he didn't see the panic on the little eunuch's face, and arched his hand: "There is an angel who has been working for a long time, and this hou is also wrong, please don't blame the angel." ”

Chen Kan didn't want to offend these little eunuchs with crippled bodies, especially Xiao Huangmen, who could get into the little yellow door to deliver a message to Zhu Di, so he changed his face in a second, and when he looked up again, he already had a warm smile on his face.

Hearing Chen Kan's voice, the little eunuch hurriedly withdrew an ugly smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

At this moment, the little eunuch seemed to see 20,000 ghosts hanging from Chen Kan's shoulders, and he said that it was okay, but his calves were already trembling uncontrollably.

This is a trick to death, killing 20,000 people, it's terrible.

Chen Kan took the opportunity to sit down on the main seat, took a sip of tea, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty's will is conveying?" ”

The little eunuch used his last courage to pull the male duck's voice and said: "Your Majesty said that the Yuan Zheng is about to pass, and it is rare for the Ming Dynasty to usher in a stable time, I hope you can take Her Royal Highness the princess into the palace to accompany the queen mother as soon as possible." ”

"Ben Hou knows, and asks the chamberlain to tell Your Majesty that Ben Hou Yuanzheng will bring Her Royal Highness the princess into the palace early in the morning."

Chen Kan put down the teacup in his hand, and as soon as he wanted to get up to see off the guests, the little eunuch had already fled.

Seeing this, Chen Kan simply turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

On the edge of the small lake in the inner courtyard, Zhu Yuelan was taking Yun Niang and a little boy about the same age as Zhu Zhanji for a picnic.

With a heartfelt smile on his face, Chen Kan walked towards the place where the few people were.

There are too many shackles on women in this era, even if Zhu Yuelan is Her Royal Highness the princess, most of the time she can only be trapped in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and it is good that someone can come and be her companion.

"Husband is here, sit down first, I'll be fine right away."

Zhu Yuelan greeted Chen Kan, and the whole person began to get busy again.

On a stone stove, a roast chicken tied into a rice dumpling with iron wire was roasting, and on the fire beside it, the crockpot was boiling and steaming.

The little boy held a large white porcelain bowl the size of a human head in his hand, stretched out his head to smell the fragrance coming out of the crockpot, and took a breath from time to time.

Yun Niang saw Chen Kan walking straight away, with a cramped expression on her face, and hurriedly dragged her son over and saluted Chen Kan.

Hua Shi is a very beautiful little boy, who has completely inherited Yun Niang's excellent genes, and the little fat man Zhu Zhanji are simply two extremes.

is also very polite, and when he saluted Chen Kan, he did not forget to put down the white porcelain bowl the size of a human head in his hand first.

The small body learned the appearance of an adult and arched his hand towards Chen Kan and said, "I have seen Master Hou when I was a flower." ”

"No need to be polite."

Chen Kan smiled kindly, this is not the first time he has seen this child.

It's just that he was too busy in the past, even if Yuncheng took him to the mansion to play, it was Zhu Yuelan who took him to play, and Chen Kan would take a look at him at most.

However, this child is polite and intelligent, and Zhu Yuelan is nagging in his ear.

And this time, Chen Kan asked Yun Cheng to call the child over to the house for the New Year, and he also wanted to test him.

Chen Kan is now in great need of some children who have not yet been poisoned by Cheng Zhu's Confucian teachings, firstly to prepare for a retreat, and secondly, to select some playmates for Zhu Zhanji.

Although Chen Kan has begun to instill some of his own thoughts in Zhu Zhanji, intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Fat Dun has been staying in the deep palace after all, and Chen Kan's influence on him is limited.

And Chen Kan wants to turn Daming into what he imagined after thirty or fifty years, it is impossible to rely on Zhu Di, Zhu Di's self-thinking is too strong, and his ideology has been stereotyped.

The only thing Chen Kan can count on Zhu Di is to take advantage of his iron-fisted methods to solve all the shortcomings that Daming should solve.

To really let the Ming Dynasty enter the modernization process, it must be after Zhu Zhanji takes the throne, but Zhu Zhanji has only one person, even if Chen Kan helps him at that time, the Confucian doctrine after their power comparison has been emasculated is still weak.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji still needs some partners.

Hua Shi is the second school-age child that Chen Kan has come into contact with besides Zhu Zhanji, and he is also known for being intelligent.

With such a piece of good material and jade in front of him, Chen Kan had no reason not to carve it.

Signaling the two women to go their separate ways, Chen Kan came to the recliner and lay down, and when he saw the flowers, he had a very discerning eye to bring a pot of warm rice wine to Chen Kan.

Chen Kan didn't say anything polite to him, took the wine jug, didn't use the wine glass, and directly put the spout on the spout to suck water from a long whale.

After drinking half a pot of rice wine in one gulp, Chen Kan looked at the little boy in front of him with a smile and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Hua Shi's face showed a puzzled look: "Why should I be afraid of Master Hou?" ”

Chen Kan handed the wine jug back to him, and said lazily: "Now people outside are rumoring that I am a murderer, aren't you afraid?" ”

Hua Shi shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not afraid, my mother said, the people killed by Hou Ye are all bad people, and Hou Ye is a good person, I am not afraid." ”

"Huh!"

Chen Kan smiled and asked, "Then how do you judge whether a person is a good person or a bad person?" ”

Hua Shi didn't think about it and responded: "My mother said, those who don't hurt others are good people, and those who bully others are bad people." ”

It's a simple truth, and the little boy said it very seriously.

was so simple that Chen Kan couldn't help but have the intention of teasing him: "If according to what you said, I not only bullied many people, but also killed many people, why do you still think that I am a good person?" ”

This time, Hua Shi didn't answer quickly, but frowned and thought for a while.

Then he said: "This is different, Master Hou, you kill all bad people, and those bad people are people who want to be punished, this is to eliminate harm for the people, so Master Hou, even if you kill someone, you are still a good person." ”

"Oh!"

Chen Kan narrowed his eyes, barely agreeing with Hua Shi's words.

Hua Shi is indeed smart, but after all, he is only a five-year-old child, and he can only see things by simply distinguishing between right and wrong.

However, a five-year-old child can pass the language trap of Chen Kan is not bad.

It's just that there is still a gap compared to the cunning fox-like little chubby dun.

But considering the different environments of the two, Xiao Fat Dun got the personal teaching of Hongru and Zhu Di as early as when he was enlightened, and Hua Shi only had a widow mother, Chen Kan decided not to be so biased.

Chen Kan beckoned, and Hua Shi handed the wine jug in his hand to Chen Kan again.

Taking a sip of sweet wine, Chen Kan asked, "Have you ever been enlightened?" ”

Hua Shi sat in front of Chen Kan seriously, and responded: "Back to the Hou Ye, my mother has invited Mr. for me." ”

Chen Kan continued to ask, "What books did you read?" ”

When he spent his eyes, he replied: "Mr. taught "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics", and "Thousand Character Text"

Chen Kan nodded, they are all commonly used books in the Ming Dynasty, and the main purpose of memorizing these books is to be literate.

In other words, Chen Kan doesn't have to worry about this child's literacy.

Chen Kan put his hand on his knee, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Recite a paragraph of "Thousand Character Text" to me. ”

The conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of the two women not far away.

Yun Niang heard that Chen Kan asked her son to memorize a thousand-character text, and hurriedly gave her son an encouraging look.

You must know that in addition to Chen Kan's reputation as a ruthless person in Beijing, there is also a teacher of reading seeds, Fang Xiaoru.

And Chen Kan's attainments in poetry have long been recognized by Shilin.

Therefore, in terms of learning, no one has doubted that Chen Kan's knowledge is not good.

And now that Chen Kan suddenly compared her son, she already had some vague guesses in her heart.

Got the mother's eyes signaled, and spent time thinking back to the old days when he endorsed his mother.

began to shake his head and said: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than adulthood, Lu Lu tunes the yang ......"

In the inner courtyard, the other voices suddenly disappeared, leaving only the sound of Hua Shi reciting a thousand words.

And Hua Shi lived up to expectations, and soon memorized the thousand-character text completely.

Chen Kan opened his eyes and glanced at the little boy in front of him with appreciation: "It's not bad." ”

A five-year-old child can memorize a thousand-word text completely, which can indeed be called a smart sentence.

Don't look at the thousand-character text is just an enlightenment book, but many of the rare words in it may not be completely memorized even by many adults.

After hearing Chen Kan's praise, Hua Shi's face instantly bloomed with a proud little expression, and the child's heart was fully revealed.

After memorizing the thousand-character text when he spent the time, the things on Zhu Yuelan's stove were also stewed.

Looking at Hua Shi's slanderous look, Chen Kan stopped and said, "Go!" ”

Receiving Chen Kan's consent, Hua Shi suddenly jumped up and down with a white porcelain bowl bigger than a human head and trotted towards Zhu Yuelan.

Then he raised the big bowl in front of Zhu Yuelan, and shouted with burning eyes: "Aunt Princess." ”

Zhu Yuelan didn't disappoint him either, and filled him with a big bowl of broth.

Then he served a bowl for Chen Kan and said with a smile: "The spicilla soup I stewed with cordyceps flowers, the imperial doctor said, is very good for your body's deficit." ”

Chen Kan touched his nose, although it was a little weird to have a picnic at home, but thinking that these were two boring women, Chen Kan immediately understood.

So Chen Kan took the soup, took out the chopsticks from the folding table on the side, and began to attack the barbecue on the grill.

Halfway through eating, Yun Cheng came to Chen Kan and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening to the news brought by Yun Cheng, a smile appeared on Chen Kan's face.

"You keep eating, I'm going out for something."

After instructing the two women, Chen Kan followed Yun Cheng to the outer room.

An unsmiling eunuch was guarding the door, and when he saw Chen Kan appearing, he came up and whispered: "Master Hou, it has been ascertained that the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Wuyang are uniting to replace a large number of treasure money in the hands of the people, and the slave suspects that they are coming for the bank. ”

Chen Kan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then summoned the guards: "Go to the bank!" ”

These days, due to Chen Kan's fraudulent death, the news that the bank can exchange treasure money for gold and silver has been suppressed by Chen Kan's death.

But as the matter of Chen Kankeng's killing of the White Lotus Sect gradually fermented, the people knew that Chen Kan was not dead, not only did he not die, but also uprooted the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

So the bank took advantage of Chen Kan's popularity among the people to take advantage of the trend to push the treasure banknote to the market.

With Chen Kan's endorsement with the royal family, coupled with the bank's introduction of gold and silver treasure banknote replacement channels, the new treasure banknotes quickly gained a firm foothold in Beijing once they were promoted.

But this matter inevitably reached the ears of the upper nobles.

Many nobles are afraid that His Majesty is standing behind the bank, so they dare not have any bad thoughts for the time being.

But the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Wuyang, one is His Majesty's son-in-law, and the other is His Majesty's own nephew.

So they decisively thought of ways to make a profit from it.

Chen Kan didn't expect that before he could make a move, the two of them would send the handle to the door by themselves.

What two kind people.

It's a pity that Fuyang Hou Li Rang didn't get involved, otherwise, Chen Kan just took this opportunity to wipe out all the people who bared Chang Ning's teeth.

After regretting for a while, Chen Kan brought people to the bank.

It can be seen that the banks at this time are extremely lively, and many people are waiting in line with old treasure banknotes issued by the imperial court.

At the beginning, the imperial court opened ten counters, but later found that ten counters could not satisfy the enthusiasm of the people of Jingshi at all, so they had to dismantle the duty room on the side and set up five counters, which barely evacuated the flow of people.

On each counter, there is a blonde and blue-eyed person with an abacus crackling.

Originally, this scene should have appeared half a year ago, if it weren't for the damn White Lotus Sect, in half a year, the treasure money of the people of Jingshi would have been replaced a long time ago.

Fortunately, although the time has been pushed back a bit, the bank is still on the right track.

Chen Kan looked at this scene silently, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The people exchanged the same amount of gold and silver with the old treasure money, and under the persuasion of the professional managers in the hall, they deposited a large amount of gold and silver in the bank.

And what most people take away from the bank is either an encrypted passbook or a corresponding new treasure banknote.

Through Chen Kan's observation in the past few minutes, the majority of the people choose to replace the treasure banknotes, after all, gold and silver are indeed inconvenient to carry, and now that there are treasure notes that can be replaced with gold and silver at any time, the people are of course more willing to use the treasure banknotes that are beautifully made and easy to carry.

Of course, there are also some people who are skeptical of the new treasure banknotes and take away the gold and silver.

But the gold and silver that were taken away were still a minority.

It was just a simple way of turning the left hand into the right hand, and the treasure money was replaced, and the market value of the treasure money was restored silently, which is the role of the bank's existence.

Chen Kan stood at the door and watched the process of the people replacing the treasure money, and then walked into the hall.

"This son, please come here and line up to get the number."

The young man from the gang led Chen Kan to the counter where the number was taken.

A middle-aged scribe handed a ticket number to Chen Kan without raising his eyelids: "The counter will call the number, go over there and wait, don't block the people behind." ”
