Just like in this era, when farmers bought things, most of them had to settle accounts after autumn. The silent meeting with Cui Xiushan was also the time when the Xu Party and the Jin Party settled accounts after autumn and paid the reward. The Xu Party achieved an extremely important victory with the Jin Party, and also had to pay a high price... In addition to Yang Bo who could only choose one of the three-sided governors and the Minister of War, the Jin Party asked Wang Chonggu to be transferred from the Shandong Governor to the Fujian Governor; Zhang Siwei was transferred from the Hanzhong Prefect of Shaanxi to the prefect of Ningbo, Zhejiang, and the other seven local officials were transferred from the north to the southern coastal areas, two of which were prefect and five magistrates.
The request of these ten personnel mobilization shows the style of the old Xier of the Jin Party... First, they were pragmatic, they did not ask for any position in the court, and even Yang Bo, who was respected, abandoned the Ministry of War and chose three sides, unintentionally mixed in the struggles of the court; second, wealth was the priority, and after the sea ban was lifted, silver rolled out from overseas, and Shanxi people who had already occupied the trade of Huaiyang Yanli and northern borders extended their tentacles to the southern coast... Although they avoided the ban of Xu Ge Lao and Shen Mo... Nan Zhili, they made a big move to Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong... These guys with superior financial literacy obviously realized that with Su Song's wealth in the world, with a better geographical location and a longer maritime trade, the southeast coastal provinces, which had a longer ban, would inevitably demand the ban to be released, and get a share of this huge increase in wealth.
Yu Chenmo naturally did not want the Jin party and the Shanxi merchants to get involved in the south, but it was not his turn to decide on such a thing... In his letter to Yang Bo, Xu Jie had already promised to give him ten officials a quota, so although Chenmo felt deeply painful, he still had to agree generously.
Seeing that all the requests were met, Mr. Cui was very happy and twisted his beard and smiled: "We Shanxi people will always be friends of adults. I also ask the adults to tell Mr. Xu Kuo that if you have any problems in the future, just a message is required, and we will go through fire and water, and we will never refuse."
Silently nodded and smiled, "I will bring it." He said, and stood up and said, "We have been out for a long time, so it's time to go in."
Cui Xiushan slowly stood up with a stick, and smiled as if he remembered something, "Look at my memory and a gift to the adults. 4 I feel no respect, please accept it." As he said that, without any slightest breath, he took out an envelope from his sleeve, placed it gently on the table, and then floated away.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Mo did not go out with Cui Xiushan, but sat down by the stove and played with the envelope for a long time. He thought to himself that it was so heavy and thick, how many silver bills did he need? He tore open the seal and took out the things inside, but it was not the silver bills I imagined, but a deed like this article. When he opened it, he turned out to be a half-final dry stock called "Riyilong Piaohao"... Chen Mo was very familiar with this Piaohao... Ruohan integrated Suzhou Piaohao pawn shop and created Huilianhao', in Shanxi, Huaiyang The merchant wanted to spend a huge amount of money to acquire Huilianhao, but Ruohan firmly refused. Then when Huilianhao's business was in full swing, a money shop called Riyilong was also listed for business. Whether it was business scope or service methods, they were all exactly the same as Huilianhao, and were jointly guaranteed by the eight major Shanxi merchants! Relying on the deep influence of Shanxi merchants in the Yangtze River, Riyilong's business was booming, and they were divided into north and south with Huilianhao, at least on the surface.
Cui Xiushan's clear identity is the "headquarters" in Riyilong's area in Xuanda... In general, the shopkeepers are responsible for the semi-colons in the general capital city. Only the five most important places, such as Beijing, Yangzhou, Taiyuan, Jinan, and Xuanda, can shareholders take charge, supervise and guide, and recruit customers.
Now Cui Xiushan takes out 5% of Riyilong shares, which is definitely a big deal. Even with the most conservative algorithm, it can still be worth 300,000 taels of silver, and it will be distributed every year and will continue to spend money... Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, Riyilong's business will always flourish.
"These old Xi'er, the abacus is loud." Chen Si handed the Wen Qi to Sanchi and said, "It seems that if you want to march into Jiangnan, I will give me these five cents of the stocks first. I feel that I will not make things difficult for them for the sake of wealth." As long as the business of Riyilong is booming, this thing will continue to increase in value and pay dividends every year; if the business is not good, this thing will depreciate, or even be worthless... So in Cui Xiushan's opinion, in the future, in the competition with Huilianhao, Chen Si will at least not help the latter, and will be equal.
"It seems they think," Sanchi carefully put Wenqi away and chuckled, "The adults are also taking advantage of the dry shares in Huilianhao."
"Hehe," Chen smiled silently and suddenly said, "I don't want my wife to know about this."
Sanchi was stunned and said, "Are you going to buy a lot of money?"
"Yeah." Silently nodded, and said guiltily: "Please put it away, open your account directly, and the dividends will also be directly distributed. Don't your wife know.
"Oh..." Sanchi said suddenly: "Does sir want to save money on your private house?"
"Go to you," Chen Shu rolled his eyes and said, "This is called... This is called mobile capital. Do you know if the cunning rabbit three holes?"
"I understand." Sanchi nodded and thought to himself that this was still private money. However, he asked worriedly: "If you become their shareholder, will you speak for them?"
"Ball!" Chen Shu laughed and cursed: "If I dare to help them, I'm afraid I can't even get in." He said, "I'm called using a plan, you will understand in the future."
After the banquet, the banquet ended and the silence came to the time to return to Beijing. However, before leaving, he walked to the Jinyiwei stronghold. Accompanied by Nian Yongkang, he came to the backyard, a separate courtyard.
At this moment, the snow clears and the sky is clear, and the haze is just beginning to begin. Chen Lian and his son are holding bamboo brooms in hand, sweeping the snow seriously... Because the father and son have been decisively decisive by the emperor, they must wait for pardon to regain their freedom. What Silence can do is to try to improve their living environment.
Seeing Chen Si come in, Chen Gun saluted respectfully; "Master Shen."
Chen Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior Brother, please call me junior brother." He said respectfully and said, "Master."
Chen Lian nodded and said softly: "Talk in the house.
Chen Si said to Chen Gun and Nian Yongkang: "Come in."
"You are waiting outside." Chen Lian said.
Chen Si had to go into the house alone. Facing his enlightened teacher, this decisive and decisive official seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the Shen clan school. He calmed down and sat upright, looked at Chen Lian secretly, but saw that he seemed to have grown much older. Although his waist was still straight, his head was pale. More importantly, the cynicism that always hung on his face disappeared.
"Teacher..." Seeing Chen Lian also looked at himself) quietly called out: "You have suffered.
Chen Lian shook his head and chuckled, "I have such a good student, so I am very lucky.
Silently sighed: "Let the teacher stay here for six years, and the students are ashamed." He bowed: "As soon as the matter is over, the students will immediately send someone to pick the teacher up and take the teacher back to Shaoxing."
Chen Lianxiao Taoist "You are wrong. I have been in Baoanzhou for six years and have lived and worked in peace and happiness." He sighed and said, "I don't plan to move any longer. I will live in Baoanzhou for the rest of my life."
"Teacher..." Chen Si said softly, "Is there anything difficult about you? Just tell the students that it is "no," Chen Lian shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. If you have the chance, go to the new security guard to see where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and sing loudly. Isn't it great? Yan Zhao is heroic, beating the drums and swords, and enjoying life, isn't it great?" He said with a smile, "I think it is more suitable for me than the South, which is full of powdery smell, sour and rotten smell and copper smell, I think it is more suitable for me."
"But?" Chen Si asked softly, "Where are my two senior brothers? And my junior brother, what should they do?" In this era, they could only return to their hometown to participate in the imperial examination. Of course, at the level of silence, it can benefit the loopholes in the user registration system and allow candidates to participate in the imperial examination in another place, but with Chen Lian's personality, they would never agree. Therefore, Chen Gun and Shen Bao either do not participate in the imperial examination in the future or have to go back to Shaoxing to take the examination. The teaching quality there is a hundred times stronger than Xuan Da. If you study here and just go back to take the examination, you may not even be able to pass the scholar.
"They can do whatever they want," Chen Lian said: "It's just that my descendants of Chen Lian can't be officials... So it doesn't matter whether they return to their hometown or not.
"Can't be an official?" Chen Si said in surprise: "Why?"
"This... Chen Lian can't say... I think it's too hard to be a clean official, too tiring to be a good official, being a stupid official, being a corrupt official embarrassing his ancestors, and being a bad official can't escape death. After thinking about it, being an official is not a job that can be at peace and comfort. If you don't do it well, you will be ruined and have no descendants?
After all, silence is an official.
Chen Lian smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic, "My words, you have done enough to be a teacher. From now on, you don't have to worry about me anymore, and I will not cause trouble for you anymore."
"Teacher, where are you talking about this?" Silent whispered, "Your kindness, my father will never pay it back in his lifetime."
"Being a good official and doing more good things that benefit the country and the people is the best reward for being a teacher.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of the silent mouth and said, "The student is just a priest of the Imperial College. Even if he wants to do things, he has no chance."
Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "The Yan Party is about to lose its power..."
"Oh? How did the teacher know?" said silently. Has it become a well-known secret?
"Boy, underestimate me!" Chen Lian laughed and cursed, regaining some of his former spirits and said: "Yan Party wants to kill me, but you can get me down and you can take down the Governor-General of the Yan Party's Xuanda Department directly. Can't these obvious phenomena explain the problem?"
"The teacher is wise." Silently said, "The Yan Party is indeed over.
Chen Lian's face darkened and he asked lightly, "What did Xu Jie say to you?"
After thinking silently, he said the truth: "He told me that although the Yan Party will not die soon, the deterioration of the rivers is a foregone conclusion, and I can do something appropriately." He paused and said softly; "He told me that he would let me go to Jinan and become a governor of Shandong, and to hone his qualifications... He said that I was too young and it was not a good thing to be in a high position." He said, looking at Chen Lian, "What do the teacher think?"
"Your biggest weakness is indeed too young. You became a fourth-rank official at the age of 25. This is both your luck and your misfortune." Chen Lianqianxu looked at the silence and slowly Taoist craftsman. "It's not to mention why luck is, why is misfortune? Do you understand?"
Chen Si shook his head gently. Although he didn't know at all, he just liked to listen to Chen Lian's teachings. He listened to Chen Lian's words, "Generally speaking, people who have become fourth-rank high-ranking officials have gathered a certain garden around them. This garden is composed of all kinds of people, maybe older than him, younger than him, maybe they meet him all day long, or they are out of touch with him... This is what we often say... Force, only when a person has power can he be able to do something big!"
He nodded silently, with a thoughtful expression on his face. He listened to Chen Lian and continued, "Didn't you show up? Apart from fellow villagers and friends, and Jinshi on the same list, it is difficult for you to gather such people around you. Everyone is polite to you, even respectful, but he refuses to make close friends with you, and will not introduce you into his own garden, right?"
The silent face became heavy, and he nodded slowly and said, "The teacher said it well... I asked myself that I cherish my reputation very much, treat others sincerely, be generous, never care about it, and do not offend colleagues, but the kindness released is always treated negatively, especially the censors of the Taoist censors, who seem to be reluctant to deal with me..." Except for those brothers who were in the same year, all those who had a close relationship with him were Taoist priests, eunuchs, spies, etc., while there were very few serious court officials.
This made Chen Si feel very frustrated and said, "Take the incident in the past few months, the Yan Party attacked me, not only no one helped me, but also put in the wrong hands, almost letting me be finished." As he said that, he looked at Chen Lian and said, "Teacher Zhu solved the students' doubts?"
"Haha..." Chen Lian smiled comfortably and said, "If you are not twenty-five years old now, but fifty-two years old, sitting in the same position and encountering the same experience, even without the protection of the emperor, you are likely to be safe... You Dao is a fence with three stakes, a hero and three gangs, and others have helpers in the court, but you don't have them, of course you will suffer a loss." He sighed and said, "There is no way. People in this world are not worried about poverty but unevenness. At your age, you should be unknown, serving tea and water in the yamen, and waiting hard, but now they are famous all over the world, and their official positions are too high, which makes people unable to catch up with them in their lifetime. For most officials, this is too uneven!" He pointed to Chen and laughed: "So it makes sense that people don't like you. No matter how they hate you or how they deal with you, you have to accept it and you must get used to it."
After a moment of silence, he asked softly: "The teacher said, what should I do?"
"One word, wait." Chen Lian said: "Suffer slowly, but you can't be confused. You have to endure it carefully, carefully, and carefully, so that you can get through it, endure it, and endure it will be successful!"
"Wrong." Chen Lian shook his head and said, "You have to wait for your qualifications and be released from Shandong... Can't you survive in Beijing?"
"If you are in Beijing, I will be the Minister now." Chen Shu said softly: "It's really too conspicuous."
"Why must it go up?" Chen Lian said in a deep voice: "Remember, Cabinet auxiliary is your goal. For this lofty ideal, even temporary patience, stagnation, and regression are acceptable."
"What does the teacher mean?" Chen Silent said softly.
"I think of a way to serve as a Hanlin Bachelor!" Chen Lian waved his hand and said with some annoyance: "If Yuan Wei refused to give it to you, you would have to get a bachelor's degree to teach Shuji, calm down, and teach him two classes in a down-to-earth manner, which would be enough for you to benefit for a lifetime!" He said with a happy smile: "Six years later, your fellow villagers in the same year should all be promoted to the fifth grade or above, and your students have also begun to take root in the court. Your foundation will be consolidated, and your age is not so abrupt. You can plan to enter the cabinet, and then... continue to endure." Speaking of this, he said a little disheartened: "If you don't look at your ability, you will be ranked behind you when you enter the cabinet one day later, and you have to wait until all the fronts retreat before you can get promoted."
"But you don't have to be too discouraged." Seeing Chen Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, Chen Lian shook his head and said, "The status in the cabinet also depends on who has a good relationship with the emperor, who has an influence among all officials, and who has great abilities. If it is powerful, it is not impossible to come from behind."
"Haha, let's talk about it then." Chen Si smiled and said, "The student should go to the pavilion first and then talk, Ba Chen Si poured a cup of tea for the teacher: "So what's wrong with going to Shandong?" From his heart, he yearned for being a rank-up official and a provincial chief, and he could gain the power he longed for and do something he wanted in his dreams.
"It's good to go to a place. If your goal is to benefit the people..." Chen Lian looked at him meaningfully and said, "But if you want to join the cabinet or even become a supporting role, you must not let go." He waved his hand irritably and said, "Anyway, Xu Jie did this inappropriately. He just wanted you to suffer a secret loss, and he had to be grateful to him."
"Why?" No one had ever said this to him, and asked in silence.
