The Chen family can be considered a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After three dynasties, the ancestors have produced important officials such as Taishi, Taifu, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials. There was even a royal concubine in the inner palace. Some talents in the emperor withered, and the officials in the family were not highly valued, so some declined.

But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Chen family doesn't have much say in the court, Xie Jingan never slack off. After eating some delicious snacks that cannot be bought outside, he smiled and asked him why he came, "Mr. Chen came to the mansion today to ask to see the king, why?"

It has been a few months since the last meeting, Chen Songting is still not calm, with a very rich expression on his face, he said: "Your Highness, this is asking knowingly, and I came to see His Highness, naturally for those good things that can make a lot of money for Your Highness."

Chen Songting's appearance is also considered handsome, but now he is making this winking and somewhat cheap expression, which makes people feel a little unbearable to look directly at him.

Xie Jingan only took one look and felt that his eyes were a little hot, he hurriedly looked away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen's words are not true. Didn't your family buy all the good things in this king's hands? This king But I heard that you have made a lot of money by borrowing this king's good things? What's the matter? If you think you don't earn enough, what's your plan for this king?"

"Your Highness said that," Chen Songting said casually, still smiling, "Who would think that making too much money can't be done? Your Highness knows it well, so I won't go around around it. I heard outside that His Highness intends to build a What kind of patent department, as long as you pay a sum of money, you can get the prescriptions for those good things, but really?"

"No wonder it's a family, the news is well-informed." Xie Jingan moistened his throat with a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "Mr. , It's just that the money is not low, and besides paying the money, there are many other rules. For example, the workshop must be built on the king's fief, and the size of the workshop is also required. Once a year, if there is any default or non-payment, it means that you have voluntarily given up the cooperation with the king. If you open a workshop to make it privately from now on, it will be a slap in the face of the king. The king swears To be investigated to the end."

Xie Jingan said seriously, but Chen Songting didn't take it seriously, all he could think about was how to get those prescriptions, as for those rules, he didn't say anything, but he scoffed in his heart.

King Shun took himself too seriously, but he was just a feudal lord with a small fief, and he couldn't be the master of his own fief, so he wanted to control the entire Zhou Dynasty?As long as he gets the prescription, he will set up a workshop privately outside, who knows?Even if he finds out, what can he do with himself?He didn't believe that he could stretch his hand so far and manage someone else's fief.

Chen Songting is not very old, nor is he calm and able to control his expression. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, what was on his mind still showed on his face.

Xie Jingan saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything. He smiled meaningfully, thinking in his heart, young people are indeed too young, they haven't felt the charm of public opinion, and they don't know what kind of things a businessman can do for profit. What's more, the merchants of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty?

Although Xie Jingan didn't care about such a young boy like Chen Songting, his mood was spoiled a little after all, and the following discussion was not so pleasant. Ren Chen Songting's usual discussions, Xie Jingan just talked about him, and his sentence was accurate If there were not enough words, they sent people away.

Chen Songting didn't have any city mansion after all, and he was still annoyed when he left. Cui Tong's face was also drawn when he saw it, and he said angrily: "This Chen family doesn't care what they are. In front of you, according to your subordinates, you should teach him some lessons, so as not to think that you have a grand master and grand master in your family, so you don't know your real name."

Seeing Cui Tong fight for him like this, Xie Jingan became calmer. Seeing his puffy cheeks, he couldn't help pinching him lightly, and said with a smile: "It's just a declining family, this king has so many things to do. Do it, why bother wasting time on him, if you are dissatisfied with him, just don't sell the good things to his family in the future, if you don't know how to praise in the future, even the things you are selling now will stop, after all, this king is no better than just now When we came to the fiefdom, there were so many merchants waiting to send money to me, so I don't care about the Chen family."

That being said, Xie Jing'an really quickly put the matter behind him, and told people not to see anyone from the Chen family in the future, so he asked people to summon the principal in the inner hall, and went to the study by himself.

A lot of time had passed since the publication of the newspaper, and Mr. Yu's face became more radiant and full of energy, his legs and feet were a bit sharper than before, and his waist was bent lower than before when saluting, which seemed to be effortless.

Seeing this, Xie Jingan was in a better mood, and as soon as he was seated, he asked, "It's been a while since the newspapers have been distributed, and the nearest prefectures and counties can go back and forth, so there should be a lot of feedback back to you." Here, how? What is the reaction below?"

Mentioning the newspaper, Master Yu's eyes lit up again, and he said: "If you go back to Your Highness, the sergeants who distributed the newspapers in the nearby counties have indeed returned. According to them, the people below responded enthusiastically, whether they were traffickers or pawns, or big households. Everyone knows about the newspaper, and they are still talking about it on the street. The sergeant stayed there for a few days. No matter where he went, whether it was a tavern or an inn, they were talking about the few things printed in His Highness's newspaper. For the big event, I cast aside the Liu family, but I can't stop praising General Lin. There are still many people who have no land and no ancestral property and bring their families to Mozhou to recruit workers. Mozhou is here."

Newspapers are a novelty in this era. Xie Jingan had already anticipated this scene when he decided to establish a newspaper office. Although he was a little excited when he heard the news, he was much calmer than the principal. He nodded and smiled: "The first issue of the newspaper There is such a warm response, thanks to the master’s contribution. The king summoned the master to come here today. One is to ask about the response, and the other is to think about whether this newspaper can be spread outside the king’s fiefdom. After all, the king The fiefdom sounds like there are twelve states, but in fact the population is not large, and the things that the king will do next will require a large number of people, and the young and strong that the king can recruit now is really a drop in the bucket."

"Passed outside the fief?" Chief Yu was a little stunned, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your Highness's move is a bit inappropriate, after all, the newspapers are all important events in your highness's fief, and let other vassals see it." Now, what would he think? Maybe there will be a memorial to impeach His Highness, saying that His Highness has the heart of disobedience."

There would be such serious consequences, Xie Jingan felt a little helpless, and said: "Then what should I do? Is it possible that the king will secretly send people to other feudal lords' fiefs to recruit workers? This is too troublesome."

Master Yu said: "There is a way for the young ones. If it is not obvious, let's do it secretly. After all, there are so many merchants in His Highness's fief, so we can't watch them one by one not to hide newspapers when they leave the city."

Master Yu meant to have people pretend to be merchants to transport newspapers out of the city?Xie Jingan thought about it for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was an idea. He couldn't pass it on clearly, and the merchant brought it out in private, so he can't be blamed.

The more Xie Jingan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he actually praised Chief Yu a few words, and then sent him down to ask Jiang Zheng to be brought here.

As soon as these words came out, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Lin Yan's handsome face. In addition, he hadn't talked to Lin Yan alone for a while. Gan, wanting to explain clearly to him, but afraid to explain clearly to him, struggled for a while, finally stopped Cui Tong, and changed his words: "Forget it, Commander Jiang must be busy, let's call General Lin over."

When Cui Tongchu heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, and was at a loss. Isn't it General Lin who is busy?He had just seen Commander Jiang idly instructing the guards to practice martial arts, could it be that he was wrong?That's General Lin, not Commander Jiang?

Xie Jing'an didn't care about Cui Tong's bewildered face, since he left the study door, he felt a little on pins and needles, feeling extremely nervous, as if he was about to confess his love to Lin Yan.

He reluctantly sat on the chair for a while, but couldn't sit still, so he simply turned around in the study.

While turning around, he thought about the scene where he flirted with Lin Yan after being drunk that day. He regretted it, but also felt a little throbbing. What was throbbing was that he really liked Lin Yan. From his appearance, to his temperament, to his figure, there was nothing that didn't suit him at all. It's a pity that he is too young. Although Lin Yan's words and deeds and calm temperament make people ignore his age, Xie Jingan really remembers it, and thinks that Lin Yanruo will be as he said in the future. Don't marry a wife, just adopt a younger brother's child Cheng Huan, no matter whether you succeed or not, you have to pursue it.

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. If he had known that he would do such a thing when he was drunk, he would never drink again that day, or he would tell Cui Tong that if he was drunk, no matter what he wanted to do, he would only drink. Just go to sleep.

It's just that the thing has already happened, and it's useless to regret it any more. Xie Jingan sighed, and turned to think about how to make up for it. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a soft knock on the door of the study room. Lin Yan stepped through the door expressionlessly in thin clothes. Come.

Xie Jingan raised his head subconsciously and took a look. Once he raised his head, he couldn't move his eyes any longer. It wasn't until Lin Yan bowed his hands in salute that Xie Jingan suddenly woke up. He lowered his eyelids as if to cover up, and coughed softly: "General Lin, don't be too polite. Take your seat quickly."

Lin Yan sat down on the lower chair according to his words, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know why His Highness summoned the last general to come?"

Although he knew that Lin Yan had such a temperament, Xie Jingan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with his cold expression and tone, and couldn't help but accentuate his tone, saying, "Why? If my king is fine, I can't summon you ?"

Xie Jingan didn't expect these words, Lin Yan was also stunned, looked at him in surprise, his expression moved a little, but returned to normal in a flash, and said calmly: "The last general is His Highness's official, no matter what His Highness It is appropriate to summon the last general at any time."

This is to draw a clear line with him. From now on, he will only be a monarch and a minister, and there will be no other friendships?Xie Jingan originally wanted to discuss things with him calmly as before, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't help but think wildly. In addition, his heart was really tormented these days, and he didn't know what to think. Looking at Lin Yan On that face, a ghost said: "You have been estranged from this king these days, but because of what happened in the study that night?"
