Chapter 84: Going South Together
In the last class, Chen Xi doesn’t need to teach too much.
No matter how much you teach, it will be useless. The root cause of the naughty child’s future problems is not his level of education, but his playful and nepotist personality.
But Zhu Houzhao is a complete imperial embryo. At least he has a close grasp of military power. He can achieve success in Liu Jin, but Liu Jin did not threaten the imperial power. Zhu Houzhao's elimination of Liu Jin can be said to be a breeze.
Since you can't teach you how to achieve great things, just teach you how to play first.
The road ahead is very long. What needs to be maintained most now is the intimacy between teachers and students. I cannot change your personality, so I have to influence your governance path to becoming an emperor and queen.
After all, the lecturer of the East Palace was Chen Xi who had been doing an errand for nearly three years. When he stepped down, he felt a little reluctant to leave.
He was a human being in his two lives and devoted his youth to the cause of education. In his previous life, he was considered to be a talented person, but in this life he was just a coaxing naughty children to play with, not teaching the truth, but managing relationships.
Looking back, my husband really failed.
After returning to Zhan Shi's Mansion, he put down the case and Chen Xi's errands in the capital were almost completed.
Chen Xi was packing up her things, and Xie Qian came to Zhan Shi's Mansion for some reason, but he did not come over to discuss allocating money, grain or salt with Chen Xi, but to discuss Xie Hengnu's marriage.
"You boy, when will you marry my granddaughter?" Xie Qian's tone was unkind.
Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Ge Master, have you decided to welcome the third year of junior high school? Could it be?" He suddenly remembered that Xie Qian had not even returned to his family in order to hide from him these days. Xie Qian handed over Xie Hengnu's marriage to his son Xie Pi, and basically Xie Pi came forward to discuss the marriage and marriage.
"The third year of junior high school."
Xie Qian thought about it, "The third grade of junior high school is the third grade of junior high school. There is no need to be too grand, and I will not be able to go there. When you come back from Fujian and Guangdong, I may still stay in the capital at that time. If you are not here, you must remember to take my granddaughter back to Yuyao to see."
Xie Qian is already planning to retire and return home now. After entering the age of knowing destiny, people usually pay more and more attention to family affection. Marrying Xie Hengnu to Chen Xi was his granddaughter's choice, but Xie Qian felt that it was a bad thing because Xie Hengnu married into the Shen family to be a concubine for Chen Xi.
"Students understand Ge Lao, about the salt administration of Guangdong and Guangxi"
"What kind of salt administration? You just need to quell the bandits and Japanese pirates. As for rectifying the administration of officials, salt administration and local administration, don't get involved! Do you really treat yourself as a magistrate?"
Xie Qian was a little annoyed, "You kid, you cause trouble everywhere. I warn you first. If you make any mistakes, don't expect me to make suggestions for you. That's it!"
Xie Qian came over and said that Xie Hengnu's marriage was to intimidate Chen Xi, and then patted his butt and left.
Chen Xi thought to himself, Xie Laoer knows how irresponsible it is to push me out. If you don’t even participate in the marriage of your granddaughter, how guilty do you have to be?
Chen Xi originally wanted to make a fuss about salt indicative, but he couldn't get the imperial authority for the time being, so he could only find a way for himself.
Although silver will not be transformed out of thin air, you can find ways to earn it.
The business empire built by Chen Xi and Hui Niang was now frozen and disintegrated. He now does not have much connection in the officialdom. If he wants to rise and have no manpower, he needs financial support.
Chen Xi had thought about rebuilding the commercial empire before, but because the capital was not a peaceful place, even if it was rebuilt, it was very likely that he would make wedding clothes for others.
Now that he is moving to Guangdong and Guangxi outside, it is a good opportunity for Chen Xi to rebuild the commercial empire. With a strong woman like Hui Niang who is smart, she still needs a helper. She is definitely not someone like Zhou who will only restrain Hui Niang. Chen Xi also has a ready-made candidate, namely Li Jin, the second lady of the Li family.
This is like an investment. Hui Niang and Li Jin have both died once. Their original identities have been lost, and even their lives and disposal rights are in the hands of Shen Xi. There is no need to worry that they will betray them.
There seems to be no one in the world who is more suitable to be a helper than them.
Since Xie Qian has made it clear that he will not help, Chen Xi has to start his plan as soon as possible, and needs to say hello to Hui Niang and Li Jin, take them to Lingnan, and take them secretly, so that people cannot know their true identities.
It’s easy to say that Li Jin was originally a woman raised by Chen Xi as a housekeeper. Li Jin didn’t dare to ask for business again. Chen Xi didn’t tell her the details of going south. She just learned that Chen Xi was transferred to Guangdong and Guangxi, and was a local governor and had greater power than before, so she could not escape Chen Xi’s control.
By this time, Li Jin had succumbed to fate and was unwilling to make any more struggle or resistance.
But Hui Niang had many concerns. Even if she committed herself to Chen Xi, Hui Niang still had her own thoughts.
"I dare not show up in public. Many people in Fujian and Guangdong recognize me."
Hui Niang didn't want to go back to Fujian because she was afraid of meeting the people she had before, so she would rather accept that she had died and stayed in the capital. Even if she was a foreign house in Chenxi and had children for Chenxi, it would be better to go back to meet an acquaintance and let herself be ashamed.
Chen Xidao: "Don't worry, after you arrive at the place, even if you are the big shopkeeper behind you, you don't need to show up in public. Someone will help you."
"Who is it?"
Hui Niang looked at Chen Xi and plucked up the courage to ask, "Is it from the original Chamber of Commerce?"
Hui Niang was very worried that Chen Xi would call Song Xiaocheng, Ma Jiu and others to help her, which would be equivalent to leaking the fact that she was still alive.
Chen Xi shook his head: "It's a woman, like you, I've died once. Don't worry, I will protect you and keep your identity strictly confidential. As long as you don't want to, no one knows who you are."
Hui Niang lowered her head, and could see that she was reluctant, but she had no right to choose now.
Chen Xi wants to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to control military and political affairs. As Chen Xi’s woman, she must go with her. Then how to place her in the past will be a problem. Now Shen Xi asks her to help manage business and let her take over the business she was familiar with before, which will allow her to find a place for her soul and have new goals in her life.
I am no longer a useless woman who only knows how to have children, but a good wife who can make money and help him.
"Along the way, I will find someone to take care of you. You can show others in men's clothing in the future." Chen Xidao, "Your relationship with her can be claimed to be a brother to the outside world."
It seems a bit unrealistic to let two women run the business. After all, Hui Niang and Li Jin have no prestige. Even with the secret support of his local governor, they cannot deal with the merchants with deep-rooted thoughts in the local men. However, if they were asked to do things as men, it would be much easier.
Chen Xi would not let Hui Niang sway and talk about business face to face with merchants, either let Li Jin go or the hired shopkeepers. The reason Chen Xi used Hui Niang and Li Jin was because they had a business mind and loyalty to him, rather than value their ability to communicate with others. Those things could be left to the hired shopkeepers.
If you don’t have soldiers, you can raise money to support soldiers and earn money by yourself.
Chen Xi thought to himself that this really corresponded to the previous memorial. The court did not have to spend a penny, but just sent individuals to combat bandits and Japanese pirates. This time, I went to Fujian and Guangdong, not to do the job, but to be a living Lei Feng!
Chen Xi took a little dissatisfaction and returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion in the hired carriage.
Before, he asked Hui Niang and Li Jin to wear men's clothes all the way, but now there are people dressed as men to come to find him, and they are an old acquaintance.
Yu Niang.
"Yuzhuan, long time no see."
Since Hui Niang was imprisoned, Chen Xi hadn't seen Yu Niang for half a year. At this moment, Yu Niang's face was a little regretful and said, "Mr. Shen, I didn't do the last time, so I came to ask for a meeting."
Chen Xi waved his hand: "The past matters need no mention. Yu Niang is here this time. Could it be that the court has something to entrust me with? "
Yu Niang shook her head slightly: "I am ordered to take my personal side to escort Lord Shen south to Fujian and Guangdong."
"oh?"
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Niang, thinking, Could it be that Yu Niang had taken on some special errands, and then followed him to cause trouble for him at the critical moment?
But if you think about it carefully, it is already a very troublesome thing to go to combat the bandits. This time he was the emperor sent a local governor and governor. As Yu Niang, it was difficult to borrow the names of Liu Daxia or Ma Wensheng to suppress him and let him do this and that. This time, Chen Xi had absolute autonomy when he went to the local area. Without the "governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi Military Affairs", no one could suppress him on the grounds of Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi.
"Then I'll bother Yu Niang."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "I haven't seen Yunliu and Xier for a long time, are they okay?"
Yu Niang didn't expect that Chen Xi would take the initiative to mention Yunliu and Xier, and quickly said, "If you go back to the adults, she will go with you. If you need it, I will send them here at any time."
"Are you still supporting me?"
Chen Xi never acted too strong in front of Yu Niang, but after experiencing Hui Niang's affairs, Chen Xi felt it was necessary to maintain sufficient authority in front of this cunning woman.
Chen Xi has always had the idea of modern people, that everyone is equal, and no one is superior to others, so he is a brother to Song Xiaocheng and Ma Jiu.
But he understood that he could no longer get along with Yu Niang as a reciprocal person. He was no longer the seventh master of the Shen family who had no reputation before. He is now the governor of the three provinces and a third-rank official. Even if he was temporarily appointed, your Yu Niang should understand what the difference between superiority and inferiority is.
You have not helped me in some things, and I don’t need to be polite to you. This is also a kind of equal attitude.
Yu Niang saw the change in Chen Xi's tone, as if she was even more like a senior official in the court. She said respectfully: "I have raised her two very well and will never dare to ruin her innocent body, so as not to be displeased."
Chen Xi laughed: "Of course, would I pick up the leftover torn shoes from others?"
This is not polite at all. Yu Niang said that she would keep Yun Liu and Xier's innocent bodies and prepare to give them to Chen Xi intact as a gift. Chen Xi said that she would not want to have broken shoes. In disguise, your Yu Niang is just such a pair of broken shoes, so don't think you are too expensive.
Yu Niang smiled bitterly and nodded, "What sir is reminding me."
"I heard that Jiang Zhenfu would also go with him?" Chen Xi asked again.
Yu Niang said, "Yes. Jiang Zhenfu was ordered to work with Lord Shen to work in Fujian and Guangdong, but I had no contact with him." She said this, meaning that the instructions from Jiang Liwei were not from the same yamen, and the responsibilities he did went south were also different.
Chen Xi thought to himself, besides obeying my orders, do you have other errands and conspiracies?
