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.
Cao Xing nodded: "After the holidays, the new appointment will be announced."
"Master Cao has been promoted. Who will take over the position left vacant by Master Cao?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Cao Xingdao: "It should be the right minister of the Ministry of punishment who takes over."
In the middle of speaking, Cao Xing suddenly remembered something and said to Ning Chen: "Over at Dali Temple, the post of chief officer is vacant now.
I think Sun Feilan is more suitable for this position, so I had already proposed that Sun Feilan fill the vacancy.
The appointment should have been sent to Sun Feilan."
Look who said Lao Cao doesn’t understand the ways of the world. Isn’t this very understanding?
As soon as he raised his head, Cao Xing already knew what he was thinking.
"Master Cao, I would like to propose a toast to you and wish you success in the future." Ning Chen said with a smile and raised his glass.
After Ning Chen toasted the glass of wine, Lu Gao also raised his glass to Cao Xing and said: "I also borrow Master Ning's treasured land, borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and offer a glass to Master Cao."
Cao Xing put down his wine glass with a dark face and said, "I don't have a good impression of Buddhism in the Western Regions."
Ning Chen felt embarrassed for Lu Gao after hearing what Cao Xing said.
Cao Xing didn't even bother to find a reason, so he responded bluntly.
Lu Gao, on the other hand, was not angry at all. Instead, he said, "I didn't think well. I should have invited Mr. Cao alone."
Ning Chen looked at the smiling Lu Gao, and suddenly felt that Lu Gao's image was a bit brighter.
Cao Xing poured the cup directly, stood up and said goodbye: "Master Ning, I still have work that I need to return to Jing Zhaoyin to hand over, so I won't disturb you."
"Master Cao, walk slowly."
Now that things are like this, Ning Chen can no longer force Cao Xing to stay.
If you stay any longer, you will get angry.
Cao Xing left, and Lu Gao followed suit.
Ning Chen also didn't force him to stay, because forcing him to stay would also cause hatred.
And if Lu Gao hated him, Ning Chen would feel numb all over just thinking about it.
Wang Lin looked at the two people who left one after another with suspicion on his face. He had no idea why these two people, who were officials in the same dynasty, were so incompatible.
Moreover, Wang Lin had no idea that there was any unsolvable conflict between them.
"The less you know about Wang Xiang, the better. Just treat it like falling in love and killing each other." Ning Chen said to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin frowned and said: "What kind of love and death? How can two men fall in love with each other?"
After hearing what Wang Lin, a conservative, said, Ning Chen could only say hehe.
Can't two men love each other?
This can only be said that Wang Lin has little knowledge.
The emotions between men and women in this world are so easy to explain.
After sending Wang Lin away, the sun had already set in the west.
It was about half an hour after Wang Lin left that Sun Feilan came to Ning Chen's house to pay New Year's greetings, carrying large and small bags.
"Brother Ning Chen, I'm here to wish you a happy New Year." Sun Feilan, dressed in new clothes, appeared in front of Ning Chen and called out sweetly.
Ning Chen asked Zheng Da to take all the things, then took out a big red envelope that had been prepared for Sun Feilan and handed it over.
"Thank you, brother Ning Chen." Sun Feilan happily accepted the red envelope.
Sun Feilan didn't care at all whether there was money in the red envelope.
What Sun Feilan cares about is that this is a red envelope given to him by Ning Chen.
It was a gift given to him by Ning Chen.
"Why did you come so late?" Ning Chen asked Sun Feilan while asking him to sit down.
Sun Feilan said: "I was going to come in the morning. But my mother said that brother Ning Chen, you have to receive visits from high-ranking officials in the court in the morning. So I was asked to come over in the afternoon on behalf of our whole family."
Ning Chen nodded and said to Sun Feilan, "Then let's have dinner at my house. I'll have someone give it to you when you're done. I just happen to have some gifts for you to take back to your aunt."
Sun Feilan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
While eating, Ning Chen asked about Sun Kejian's situation.
Although Sun Kejian did not come back with Sun Feilan, there was a constant exchange of letters this month.
And because of Ning Chen, Kou Wenbo also gave Sun Kejian special approval for the Hongyan Biography.
Although Hongyan's letter delivery is not as fast as Bluebird's letter delivery to SF Express, it is also more timely and accessible.
If the distance from Liangzhou to Fengjing was not covered by a post station, two letters a month would be considered too much.
According to what Sun Feilan said, Ning Chen did know about the situation in Liangzhou.
Because of Ning Chen's intervention in Liangzhou, the ghost domain is progressing very smoothly.
The twelve remaining Yin-Yang monks from the Changsheng Dao Sect are now very cooperative in dealing with the ghost realm.
According to Sun Kejian, the ghost land problem in Liangzhou can be solved before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
After asking questions about Liangzhou, Ning Chen chatted with Sun Feilan about her going to Dali Temple.
Sun Feilan was obviously very happy that she could go to Dali Temple.
Six Doors is considered the goon department under Jing Zhaoyin.
Dali Temple belongs to the supervision department, and Jing Zhaoyin is also under the supervision of Dali Temple.
Dali Temple can handle all major and important cases, and Jing Zhaoyin can display his talents and case-solving abilities better than Jing Zhaoyin.
Sun Feilan was excited and told Ning Chen about his upcoming trip to Dali Temple.
In the direction of Yuezhou, three Confucian scholars who were working together to deal with the ghost domain encountered a very strange thing.
Confucianism also has records about the ghost realm. After all, even in the dynasties dominated by Taoism during the Yue Dynasty and the Japanese Dynasty, the inheritance of Confucianism was still not cut off.
Moreover, the Confucian scholars at that time also actively participated in the team that solved the ghost domain.
Confucianism has its own set of Confucian methods for solving ghost realms.
The Taoist method is mainly to absorb the strange energy, and then use Taoist classics to transform it into strange energy.
The Confucian way of dealing with the ghost realm is mainly destruction.
However, it is impossible for every ghost realm to be dealt with by a fourth-grade or above great scholar.
Therefore, the Confucian way of dealing with the ghost realm is to first divide the ghost realm with the power of sword and pen.
Then, with great righteousness, the divided ghost realm was dissolved and dissolved.
But at this moment, the situation encountered by the three Confucian scholars in Yuezhou was very strange.
Normally, when a Confucian scholar cuts the ghost realm with the power of his sword and pen.
The evil spirit in the ghost realm will also be cut, but the evil spirit after being cut should stay in the cut area.
But what the three of them are encountering now is that these strange things seem to be alive.
They actually flew out one by one.
Although these three Confucian scholars have tried their best to intercept it.
But there were still seventeen groups of strange energy that flew out of the interception of three people.
Two people stayed behind to refine the remaining evil energy, while the other Confucian scholar went to chase the seventeen groups of evil energy.
Half an hour later, more than a hundred groups of mysterious energy were eliminated, and another Confucian scholar who went to pursue them also came back.
"How is Brother Wen?" one of them asked the people who came back.
The Confucian scholar surnamed Wen said: "After the thirteen regiments were eliminated, the other four disappeared. However, I typed the word "I raised" into the other four, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
