Chapter 168(1/2)
Although Ning Chen could see that the second elder was a little moved by his proposal.
But it is only limited to the heartbeat. After all, they are old enough and the two of them are not practitioners. The heartbeat is okay, but the action may not be enough.
Moreover, apart from being close to a good marriage, this large size still has no choice in other aspects.
Of course, Ning Chen was just chatting after dinner.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen transformed into Rich Man Ning and started giving out red envelopes to everyone.
Everyone in the family got a big red envelope.
Even Ning Chen’s Maslais got a big red envelope.
Of course, this red envelope is mainly used to re-decorate my Maslais.
In addition, some elixirs were added to the two mares responsible for pulling the cart.
The two mares pulling Ning Chen's cart did not have any demon blood.
But the bloodline itself is also very noble.
It's not impossible to transform into a demon, it just depends on the opportunity.
As for the elixir, it was naturally taken from hundreds of academies.
Although Yin Yang Dao was founded less than two months ago, it has a superior spiritual field.
So ten days ago, after the first batch of elixir was harvested.
Hundreds of academies have already begun refining alchemy.
The opening of the traditional Taoist furnace for elixir refining meant that Ning Chen's elixirs began to flow continuously.
Although he opened the Yin and Yang Dao, Ning Chen never expected to become a master of alchemy.
Even if we really become alchemists, what can we do?
Aren’t you still a high-class wage earner?
How great it is now, you can just sit back and reap the dividends, and you can become the boss directly.
Moreover, Ning Chen, the Yin and Yang Dao, had a full meal in the Dao Sect Avenue.
Even those alchemy masters now have to act based on Ning Chen's face.
This is not much more comfortable than refining elixirs that you have to work hard on yourself and roasted in smoke and fire.
It was just after Mou hour and the sky was just beginning to light up.
People from all walks of life came over again to wish Ning Chen happy new year.
Wan Hong was the first to come.
Or to be precise, Wan Hong was the first person waiting for Ning Mansion to open.
This is proportionality.
Although I came early, I can wait.
"Happy New Year to Boss Wan." Ning Chen saw Wan Hong and stood up with a smile to greet him.
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Wan Hong was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
Fortunately, Ning Chen helped Wan Hong.
"Boss Wan can't even make jokes." Ning Chen said jokingly to Wan Hong.
Wan Hong smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ning, please stop teasing me. Master Ning, you are now a third-rank official in the imperial court, and you are also my major shareholder. If you wish me a happy New Year, I will feel that you are planning to get rid of me."
.”
Ning Chen didn't expect that Wan Hong would think so.
However, Wan Hong made a mistake, and Ning Chen had to correct it.
"It's not the third grade, but it's from the third grade. It's still a little short of the third grade."
If this were Feng Wudi, he would probably turn around and leave immediately.
However, Wan Hong is indeed a businessman who can take a broad approach.
Hearing what Ning Chen said, he immediately expressed his position: "My lord, you are too self-effacing. Who doesn't know that your third rank has more power than your second rank? And for adults, isn't it only a matter of time before the third rank?
What's more, according to your promotion speed, I estimate that I will be promoted to the second rank next time. No, I should be granted the title of Marquis directly next time."
"No wonder Boss Wan's business is getting bigger and bigger. It makes sense."
When it came to business, Wan Hong also took out a storage talisman and handed it to Ning Chen.
"Sir, these are this year's dividends. They are all here. There is also this year's account book. I also copied a copy and put it in it."
Ning Chen took the talisman and placed it directly into the life stone.
This is what Ning Chen got from normal business, there is nothing embarrassing about asking for it.
"Boss Wan came so early, let's stay here and have breakfast together later." Ning Chen said to Wan Hong.
Wan Hong quickly refused: "Mr. Ning, I came early because I was worried that I would be late. I won't even be able to squeeze in to Mr. Ning's house by then. Mr. Ning, you have many people to entertain later, so I won't
excuse me."
Wan Hong said as he stood up to leave.
However, Ning Chen held him down: "Fat Wan, you have to ask me to treat you to dinner, right?"
When Wan Hong heard Ning Chen's rude words, instead of being displeased, his face was filled with genuine joy.
Wan Hong is an understanding person. Those who address you with respect do not really regard you as one of their own.
Only if you are rude to yourself in this way, you can show that you really regard Wan Hong as one of your own.
Ning Chen chuckled and said, "Then I will shamelessly disturb Mr. Ning."
Although it was breakfast, Wan Hong also ate very quickly.
And after finishing eating, he said goodbye first.
Obviously Wan Hong still doesn't want to cause trouble to Ning Chen. After all, his identity is somewhat sensitive.
Ning Chen did not force Wan Hong to stay, but sent Wan Hong away.
Ning Chen shattered the space talisman sent by Wan Hong in the life stone.
The situation where a silver mountain suddenly popped up in my imagination did not appear.
What appeared was a hundred boxes and a stack of ledgers.
Ninety-seven of the boxes are obviously much larger than the other three.
Open the box and find all the money inside.
The standard ten taels of official silver.
There is exactly ten thousand taels in a box.
Ninety-seven people is 970,000 taels.
The other three boxes were not what Ning Chen expected. They were all filled with banknotes.
They are one hundred taels, five hundred taels and one thousand taels of silver notes respectively.
All the banknotes added up to two million taels.
Counting the previous 970,000 taels, it means that the wine shop has transferred a total profit of almost 3 million taels to Ning Chen in the past hundred years.
You must know that the Wu Dynasty's current annual tax revenue is only four million taels.
Although it needs to support two big money-making households, Prince Jing and Marquis Dingguo.
But Ning Chen's three million taels is not a year's income.
"It's very considerate. Even the change was taken care of for me." Ning Chen murmured as he looked at the ninety-seven boxes behind him.
The money was piled in a corner of the Lifestone. As for the ledger, Ning Chen didn't even look at it.
Wan Hong is a smart man. He can only give more to himself, but never give less to himself.
So there is absolutely no point in wasting this time.
After Ning Chen finished his work, officials from various ministries in charge of Ning Chen lined up to pay Ning Chen New Year's greetings.
Of course, not everyone can stay at Ning Chen's place for lunch.
Most officials had to leave after putting down their gifts.
Only people of this level such as Cao Xing, Lu Gao, and Wang Lin can stay and have lunch with Ning Chen.
Originally, Cao Xing refused to appear on the same table as Lu Gao, but after being held down by Ning Chen, Cao Xing could only endure it.
Unlike Cao Xing and others, Ning Chen is not so particular.
We are all old acquaintances, and there are no outsiders.
"Master Cao, I heard that you will be transferred back to Dali Temple as the minister of the temple soon?" Ning Chen asked, pouring a glass of wine for Cao Xing.
