Chapter 129: Reasonable Next
"Pooh!"
The Shi Daniu family lost their land and became refugees in Siming Mountain in Yuyao under the heavy taxes of the Qing government and the rotational oppression of the gentry who rented land. If it weren't for Chen Wen's recruitment of soldiers and the two brothers of the Shi family joined the army, they would never have had the good days of hundreds of acres of fertile land in Jinhua, Quzhou and Raozhou Prefecture in Jiangxi today.
Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw it as a gentry, but Shi Daniu's mother had a bad temper in her hometown, and her men dared not provoke her. Not to mention that the Shi family is also a military landlord now, with similar identities. After seeing this kind of person, they naturally became angry from the heart.
He spitted not far away, and the woman who was spitting still glared at him with an expression. The gentry had never suffered such anger and was about to have anger immediately. But when the servant beside him pulled him and said a few words in his ear, he looked at the side of Shi Daniu, cursed about bad luck and hurriedly ran away from the crowd.
"My mother-in-law is really angry with everyone. Such a bad gentleman is the most hateful."
The person who spoke was Shi Daniu's third brother-in-law, and Shi Daniu's old lady was surrounded by her eldest son, younger son-in-law, eldest son-in-law, second son-in-law and third son-in-law.
In addition to the younger son, these five men were either big-sleeved soldiers or strong-wed farmers. Now that the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law moved from Yuyao, they also entered the army to prepare for selection. The eldest son and the third son-in-law were already in the military camp, among which Shi Daniu was wearing a military uniform. This time, he received short training in the martial arts school to better command the first bureau of Nantang Camp where he was.
She is naturally full of courage when she has a few sons and son-in-law, but compared to her eldest son-in-law and third son-in-law, the eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law seem a little worried. It is no wonder that they have been oppressed by gentry in Yuyao for a long time and have developed the habit of fear. They have just become the preparations for military replenishment. Here, their mother-in-law is still extremely frightened.
After listening for a while, the family walked into the ticket number. Shi Daniu and his third brother-in-law's rent-tenant key points, while the youngest son was still in the Boy Scouts Academy. The eldest son-in-law and the third son-in-law had just moved here and happened to take the family to Jinhuafu City to see the world. The rest of the family were waiting in a teahouse in the city to listen to the doctoral degree in the newspaper. They just waited for them to get the rent-tenant to meet up, and they walked around the city, and rushed back in the ox cart before the evening.
When I entered the Piaohao courtyard, there were a large number of long chairs in the courtyard. After receiving the number at the door, the whole family sat on the chairs and waited for applause.
This was specifically explained by the client at the door. Military families are also used to queuing. On the contrary, those households are not very adaptable and often break into the house. They are bombarded by the guards at the door, but they still don’t know.
"Master, I am a juren, why should I be with these untouchables?!"
"June?" The guard laughed and then replied, "The king said that even if he comes, he must be ranked. You, a juren, can be better than His Highness, go back and get a rank!"
Similar plots are staged every moment, and the Shi family's mother who watched it later was a little sleepy. They took the military households to collect tenant rent, and they were not at the same counter as ordinary households. After a while, they got the number.
"The chief of the armored whistle in the first bureau of Nantangying, Shi Daniu, the captain of the imperial insult?
“It’s right down.”
After checking the notes sent above, Shi Daniu's documents were checked, and compared with the records, the guy notified the shopkeeper and went to the bank warehouse in the backyard to collect the money under the protection and surveillance of the two guards. There was no way, the income from hundreds of acres of land was also quite large, so it was hard to keep it on the counter.
"This is your tenant rent. Please sign the document. Yes, it's okay to write it."
The three words Shi Daniu are easier to write. He has learned them in the military over the years. Even though he is still half blind, he can still write his own name, but it is really ugly. In the words of the military officer in the base camp, the word "Ba" with one hand is like this after practicing it, and it is useless.
Shi Daniu received the rent, and then his third brother-in-law. The family quickly finished collecting it, left the ticket number, and met with his family.
"Mom, where are we going to play first?"
The youngest daughter is still young and has a lot of fun, but her mother doesn't plan to marry her whole. She is taught to cook and other things with all her best, and she is much more attentive than her sisters. Seeing that her daughter is still like this, her face immediately drooped.
"What a crazy girl, I have to worry about my mother. The princess just gave birth to a little princess for the king. Our family can survive and have a good life today, thanks to the king. We must be grateful for our kindness. Let's go to Wanshou Temple in Tianning, south of the city to burn incense and pray for the princess and the little princess. Are you the leader of the family?
"Yes, yes, yes, listen to your mother."
Although the family did not live in the city, the younger son went to school in the Scouts school in the city, and the older son was stationed here. Even the second son died in this land. The Shi family is not unfamiliar with this place and followed the familiar road to the south of the city. They talked and laughed along the way, but today's incident made them feel a little puzzled.
"You said, if you deposit the money in the king's ticket number and pay interest, will you not lose money?"
……………………
"Lost money? My father-in-law, is Fu Ren the one who loses money and makes a lot of money and gains publicity?"
Such questions have arisen in many people's minds, and so is Sun Yu's father-in-law. In recent years, Chen Wen's aftermath loan made him take back his property. In the following days, Sun Yu was in charge of Zhejiang's government affairs. He did not use public interest, but his father-in-law was always the first to get relevant information from the yamen through his relationships, so he was ahead of others in the shopping mall.
For businessmen, news is money. With this advantage, Sun Yu's father-in-law quickly restored his true nature as a local merchant in Jinhua, and has even recently planned to get involved in the maritime trade.
"Your Highness, Prince..."
Sun Yu's father-in-law shook his head and smiled slightly. Chen Wen could compromise, but he was definitely not that kind of fool. Sun Yu's next words confirmed this.
"The son-in-law had talked with Fu Ren before. He only paid interest on regular savings, which meant the same as his previous loan. Other tickets, flying tickets, etc., are charged a handling fee, and no interest is given."
"Then these silver?"
Sun Yu thought about it and said that Chen Wen had no intention of keeping it confidential anyway. Even when the amount of savings was too much, he would even make a big publicity in the newspaper. Since that's the case, it's nothing to say to his father-in-law now.
"Now those who go to the sea trade will give some taxes. Fu Ren plans to participate. The personnel and ships are ready, and the supply of goods is also available. The amount of savings is regular. Take it out to buy more goods and pull the fleet to transport them overseas."
The profit of the sea trade is not worth a thousand yuan, but there are still 100% or even a few hundred percent benefits. As long as you can go ahead, let alone give some interest, you will get interest for more than ten years.
"If this continues, how can the small sea merchants compete for it?"
"Of course I can't fight."
Sun Yu knew what his father-in-law meant. Chen Wen was the official background, the largest military leader in the southeast, with hundreds of thousands of military households in his hand, and would have 100,000 iron armor next year. With such strength, when overseas, those barbarian kings and kings would also be supported by their ancestors. However, there were only so many goods that could be digested in those places every year. Chen Wen's fleet was stable and had a large background. If he could give priority, the profits of other small sea merchants would inevitably be lowered.
What’s even more terrifying is that these days, there are merchants on the shore and pirates when they go out of the sea, and there are almost no exception. Chen Wen has to form a fleet of ships, most of whom he wants to overthrow the weak. If this is not done well, he will be another Zheng family!
"My son-in-law remembered that Fu Ren had said before that the maritime trade in this era will soon be different."
……………………
The banking industry has begun to make initial arrangements, and the sea trade fleet is also preparing. Chen Wen has been watching the changes in the surrounding situation in Jinhua Prefecture this twelfth lunar month.
By the end of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Yueying finished her confinement period, and Chen Wen also held a full moon banquet for his daughter. On the second day of the first lunar month, Chen Wen went to the Zhou family to enjoy the treatment of a son-in-law as she did last year.
After lunch, Zhou Yueying took the child to the backyard to chat with her mother, aunt, brother and sister-in-law. Chen Wen was the only one who was left with her father and uncle. However, these two elders were probably very disparate in status and status, and always seemed very restrained, but Chen Wen came to sing a one-man show.
At the same time, in the backyard, Zhou Yueying's mother, aunt and three sisters-in-law were teasing Chen Wen's daughter. The little girl didn't recognize her child since she opened her eyes, but she made these women very happy.
The nickname was decided like this. The ancients wanted to name a cheap name, pig, dog, grow, tie, grass, wood, and even shit. This way, children are easy to support and not prone to premature death. Feudal superstition, but anyone believes it, so Chen Wenqi's one is natural.
As for the name of the boudoir, Chen Wen chose the two words Xinruo, one of which is homophoned with the one he planned to give to his son. Even now he is still young, it is safer to use a nickname for the time being. At least everyone around him thinks so, so he will inevitably follow the local customs.
However, no one expected that this beauty who was as weak and beautiful as her name would become a lingering nightmare for a long time in the future for the "weak" nations around her. This terrifying reputation even the limelight of her wise and powerful father and resourceful brother would be covered up, becoming synonymous with Eastern imperialism in that era.
There was kidding over there, and in the pavilion, Zhou Yueying and her brother were talking about something.
"My brother-in-law is not worried that he is a daughter."
"No, my husband likes this daughter very much. He can be said to be regarded as the pearl in his hand. He also told his younger sister that his daughter is his parents' little cotton-padded jacket, which is caring."
For the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army Group, whether it is the Ming Dynasty's revival or the dynasty change, it will be an indispensable part of the political territory in the future. Therefore, the leader Chen Wen had no descendants before, which is also a huge hidden danger within the group.
This hidden danger was not obvious at first, but as Chen Wen's status rose, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group defeated the four provincial capitals and began to be valued by those who are interested. Chen Wen himself even had this awareness. It was not until Zhou Yueying became pregnant that it came to an end. However, Zhou Yueying's first child was a daughter.
The eldest son inherits the system, and the daughter does not have the right to inherit, but it must be under the son. But the problem is that the heir Chen Wen needs now is to inherit the huge monster of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group a hundred years later. The daughter will eventually get married. Should she let her son-in-law inherit it? This will always be a huge risk.
In this way, the hidden danger that had already begun to dissipate once again surfaced, and the Zhou family, who was at the center of the storm, could feel it first, so long before giving birth, the Zhou family and the Shaoxing family had a tacit understanding. If it was a daughter, if Chen Wen took a concubine, another daughter of the Zhou family could not only maintain the status of the Zhou family, but also become Zhou Yueying's arm helper, rather than an enemy in the back house!
Now, as expected, he is really a daughter. Even though Chen Wen doesn't mind, the existence of hidden dangers will inevitably cause the Zhou family to worry.
"Brother Yu has one thing that I don't know whether to talk about it."
Zhou Jingting rarely uses such words, and he heard Zhou Yueying wrinkle every day, but she did not stop Zhou Jingting, but just nodded silently. At this moment, the interests of the Chen family and the Zhou family were so that this very intelligent woman could not even speak, so that Zhou Jingting almost swallowed her words back into her stomach.
"On the day my sister gave birth, Brother Yu remembered that my brother-in-law looked at the child and showed a look of nostalgia. At that time, Brother Yu thought it was my brother-in-law who remembered her in-laws and mother-in-law, so that was so. But when I think about it carefully, my brother-in-law gave her such a rare niece for no reason. Especially when my brother-in-law later wrote the song "Huanxisha", which forced Brother Yu to think about more things that might not have thought about."
"Huanxisha?"
Zhou Yueying also read this poem in the study, and Chen Wen also specially framed it. The original text in it: "Who remembers the coolness of the west wind alone? The yellow leaves closed the sparse windows. I pondered about the past and stood in the setting sun. Don't be shocked by wine and sleep heavily in spring. I gambling books to get rid of the fragrance of tea. At that time, I just thought it was ordinary."
This poem is well written, and Zhou Yueying is unforgettable. However, Chen Wen did not admit that it was written by him. He only said that he had read it in a dilapidated land temple on the road when he headed south.
In fact, this poem was written by Nalan Xingde, the son of Nalan Mingzhu, the powerful minister of the Kangxi Dynasty. It is a rare masterpiece in the Qing Dynasty. Because his daughter was born, Chen Wen recalled his parents and felt a little lonely and lonely. He copied the poem casually. Anyway, Nalan Xingde was born next year, so he couldn't come to sue Chen Wen for plagiarism.
"My little sister remembers that the loneliness and desolation in it are scattered in words, which is a rare masterpiece."
