"My lord is very good, but Mr. Zhen seems a little tired, you should pay attention to rest." Situ Chen asked Liu Yu to serve Zhen Zhibang a pot of newly brewed Pu'er tea.

Jia Amnesty said how could Situ Chen give Zhen Zhibang a good look, so they were all arranged in the back.

Zhen Zhibang had a bumpy journey, and now he was trying to schmooze with Situ Chen, if he drank a pot of newly brewed Pu-erh tea, he would not be able to fall asleep.

The more Situ Chen put on a welcoming look, the more Zhen Zhibang felt that Situ Chen seemed to be messing with him behind his back.King Qin didn't have this style of painting before, looking at the tea that Situ Chen poured himself, Zhen Zhibang didn't know whether to drink it or not.

However, everyone else had already tasted it, and Zhen Zhibang couldn't take Situ Chen's face too seriously.After all, he wanted to come to Situ Chen's territory to get a piece of the pie, and it wouldn't do them any good if they got stuck.Thinking it was for future money, Zhen Zhibang finally drank Situ Chen's tea.

"Good tea, good tea."

Zhen Zhibang didn't know that Situ Chen gave him a "big gift" as soon as they met, and after drinking it down, he praised Situ Chen for the tea he poured for him.

Since Zhen Zhibang and his party arrived in Yunnan very late, it was almost time to go to bed when they arrived at the inn.

Jia Amnesty got up and cupped his hands and said: "It's late today, you can eat whatever snacks you want. Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will hold a banquet to clean up the dust for you all."

As the governor can be so polite, many merchants stood up and saluted Jia Amnesty, and Zhen Zhibang also nodded his head to rest.

After Situ Chen and Jia Amnesty left, Zhen Zhibang tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.Knowing that everyone else fell asleep, Zhen Zhibang only thought that he was insomnia because of too many things in his mind and too much pressure.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, there is no need to cover the red fox fur blanket when sleeping at night, but Jia Amnesty likes it so much that Situ Chen asked Liu Yu to use the blanket as a mattress under his body.Just after Jia Amnesty finished soaking his feet, lying on the bed, he was a little excited when he thought of the special cup of tea that Situ Chen gave Zhen Zhibang.

"My lord is really bad, Zhen Zhibang won't be able to fall asleep tonight, and Wu Qing will definitely be listless tomorrow morning."

"I didn't learn it from you."

As Situ Chen said, he reached out and pinched Jia She's nose, and only let go when Jia She kicked him. After lying down, he asked Jia She what it felt like to sleep on the red fox fur.

Jia Amnesty lay on it and rolled over in a circle, touching the fur under his body inexplicably feeling like a king of the mountain.

It would be more like a tiger skin on the chair.

Situ Chen gathered the thin blanket around his body, put his arms around Jia She, and told Jia She to sleep quickly.If he doesn't sleep anymore, he will turn into a big tiger and eat Jia She.Jia She put his arms around Situ Chen's arm, bared his teeth and asked Situ Chen how he planned to eat him, but Situ Chen was not polite, he got up and patted Jia She's neck...

Those merchants have been running around for so many days, and they will definitely not get up too early tomorrow morning. Situ Chen "eats" Jia She completely without any burden.

Jia Amnesty wiped his hands clean and touched the slightly tingling spot on his neck. He knew without looking that it must have been kissed red.Fortunately, the location is not too high, and it shouldn't be seen if you pull the collar tomorrow morning.

"My lord has been getting stronger and stronger recently, did you steal some good food behind my back?"

Hearing what Jia She said, Situ Chen clenched his fists, and felt that his body had become much stronger recently.There was no such thing as what he ate behind Jia She's back. Except for the time when he went to meet the King of Nan'an, they separated for a few days in the past six months. They were always together for the rest of the time, and they ate exactly the same food.

If something happened... Situ Chen remembered what Huaxiu said to them that night when he was poisoned.

If he did something like that with Huaxiu, Situ Chen would get half of Huaxiu's power, become strong and free from all diseases...

"I think that Huaxiu is so scheming, if she had been with her at that time... she would definitely have benefited a lot, but we haven't discovered it yet."

Situ Chen expressed his conjecture to comfort Jia Amnesty who felt that he had suffered a great loss.

Jia Amnesty finally felt a little drowsy again, gave a hum and stopped arguing with Situ Chen, and went to sleep with a sigh of relief.

When Jia She changed his clothes early the next morning, he deliberately looked at the hickey mark on his neck in front of the bronze mirror, and he was relieved to see that the color had faded a lot.

Could it be that the quick recovery of the body is the advantage he got?

Just when Jia She felt that this was the case, Jia Hu, who said hello to Jia She and had breakfast together, noticed abnormal marks on Jia She's neck.

This mark was made by Situ Chen. Before Jia She could explain it, Situ Chen opened his mouth to help Jia She: "Your father has been on fire recently, and he talked too much last night, and his voice hurts. I pinched him twice to get rid of the fire."

Situ Chen's ability to tell lies with his eyes open became more and more proficient. If Jia Hu was not still by his side, Jia Amnesty really wanted to applaud Situ Chen.

The matter of lighting the fire was said to be to remove the fire.

But Situ Chen was able to fool Jia Hu, a child who didn't know about men and women, but he couldn't fool Xue Qian who was a father again.Xue Qian could tell whether it was a pinch mark or a... trace, thinking that the previous rumors seemed to be not groundless.

But since His Majesty the Emperor suppressed the previous incident, he should just treat the traces as His Highness King Qin pinched them out.

Some things should not be known but know, and you can only rot things in your stomach.Xue Qian has always adhered to this point, otherwise he would not be alive today.

Jia Amnesty and Situ Chen hadn't realized that the relationship between the two of them had aroused Xue Qian's speculation. After dinner, they talked with Xue Qian about their plan for the Zhen family and other merchants to come to Yunnan to buy goods.

Xue Qian summed up Jia Amnesty's plan in three points.

First of all, it must not let the Zhen family earn so much money, and at the same time, it must not scare away other merchants with less strength.Second, they must be willing to spend money to buy things.In the end, the more you can buy, the better. If you don’t have enough money, you can leave an IOU first.

"Master Hou's idea is very feasible. I'm going to communicate with the Xia family now. As long as the Xia family is taken down, other merchants will be able to talk a lot."

Those merchants originally took a wait-and-see attitude. If the Xia family, the biggest one of them, was persuaded, then the other merchants would definitely act according to the Xia family.

Xue Qian went to communicate with Xia's family, Jia She went to visit other merchants, and Situ Chen stayed to teach Jia Hu to read.

Zhen Zhibang and the others live in the newly built inn, which is not far from the yamen where Jia She and Situ Chen live. They don't need to take a sedan chair, just walking a few steps can be regarded as exercise.

When he arrived at the inn and found that most of the merchants were still asleep, Jia She waved his hand to signal the children in the inn not to disturb the merchants, and waited until [-]:[-] before waking up.

Knowing that Zhen Zhibang was still asleep and the Patriarch of the Xia family was already awake, Jia Amnesty followed Xue Qian to meet the second richest man in Jinling first.

Unlike Xue Qian's low-key, the gold ring held by Xia Hongyun, the head of the Xia family, can indeed make people faint.If it weren't for only ten fingers, Jia She felt that Xia Hongyun could still wear two more gold rings.

When Xia Hongyun saw Xue Qian and Jia She found him alone, he immediately cheered up and felt that there was something important to tell him.Doing business is not something that can be enjoyed only by having money, but timely and accurate information is needed to make more money in the pocket.

"I don't know if the Governor needs to let the little one do it?"

"Everything in Yunnan is waiting to be done now, and you can't lose money if you come to Yunnan to do business." Jia Amnesty first drew a big cake for Xia Hongyun, and then asked Xue Qian to tell Xia Hongyun about their plan. "If Master Xia is willing to cooperate, I can give you a [-]% discount in private."

Xia Hongyun didn't have any objection to the fact that they had to pay 20 taels for a steam boiler. After all, the profits of these things were so large that the cost of their trip could be ignored.

And when the time comes, it can be sold at a higher price, and no one stipulates that a steam pot must be sold for 30 taels of silver.

Xue Qian saw that Xia Hongyun had no intention of refusing, so he continued: "After the road is built, the governor will ask craftsmen to build a stone tablet at the intersection, and engrave on it the names of the merchants who bought Yunnan specialties during the road construction period. , to commemorate that these roads were built with money "donated" by these merchants."

There is a big difference between donating and buying.Xue Qian's words immediately aroused Xia Hongyun's interest.

"Dare to ask, is there any requirement for the donation amount?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head without waiting for Xue Qian's reply.There is no hard and fast rule for this, of course, the more money you pay, the better.At that time, it will be counted how much each business has invested, and it will be arranged from high to low.

Xia Hongyun understood Jia Amnesty's intentions, and he would definitely buy as much as possible by then.

After all, after this matter is publicized, it is equivalent to permanent publicity for them.Now that they came here to make money, and they can still have such a "cheap", it is simply an incomparable bargain.

Is there any reason to refuse?

"Don't worry, Governor, I, Xia, will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment. This time I am familiar with the road, and my Xia family will definitely send out five more cars next time!"

Xia Hongyun mentioned the issue of the carriage, but it was convenient for Xue Qian to talk about the possibility of hiring a carriage and escort from the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

If someone else had said this, Xia Hongyun would have immediately said stop joking.The king of Nan'an County is also the king of the county after all, so he will send you some money?But this matter came from Xue Qian, who had already passed by several times, and the governor guaranteed his safety...

The silent Xia Hongyun was tempted again.

After all, it is a matter of all benefits and no harm. Xia Hongyun patted his chest and said that he would definitely do as Jia Amnesty ordered!

After talking with Xia Hongyun, Jia Amnesty went out of the room to see how Zhen Zhibang was doing. Seeing that the black and blue Zhen Zhibang was sitting on the stool in a daze, Jia Amnesty immediately asked Xiao Er to boil two eggs and bring them over to Zhen Zhibang. The servants brought here give Zhen Zhibang a roll.

Zhen Zhibang has already called his servants, and Zhen Zhibang thanked Jia Amnesty for his kindness first.Seeing that Jia Amnesty's neck seemed to be injured, Zhen Zhibang also asked symbolically.

Ever since his son found out, Jia She didn't hide it anymore, anyway, he couldn't hide it...

"Hey, I've been getting angry recently and feel uncomfortable. Last night, I was uncomfortable sleeping, so I grabbed a couple of them randomly. I didn't think about it and hurt myself. Fortunately, the doctor said it's nothing serious, but it looks ugly."

Zhen Zhibang didn't really care about Jia She, he just nodded no matter what Jia She said, and then asked about the purchase.

But he heard that even the Xue family who came here for the first time can only buy things from the yamen and then sell them in Jinling and the capital, why not raise the price a bit more?

Can Jia Amnesty be the one who doesn't steal his money?

"Master Zhen, don't worry, this official has a clear distinction between public and private, and will not target every merchant who comes to help Yunnan."

Jia Amnesty told Zhen Zhibang clearly that he would not cheat the Zhen family on this matter.Seeing that Jia Amnesty's words were not polite, Zhen Zhibang believed in Jia Amnesty's promise.

Thinking over Jia Amnesty's words again, Zhen Zhibang snorted coldly.

Because this matter is a public matter, Jia Amnesty will not target the Zhen family.According to this, it was deliberately targeted at the Zhen family before!

Jia Amnesty also rolled his eyes at Zhen Zhibang's reaction, why is the Zhen family targeting their business?

Don't think he doesn't know that Zhen's family secretly asked people to imitate sugar roses...

It just so happened that Zhen Zhibang's servants came in with a freshly boiled egg and applied it under Zhen Zhibang's eyes, so Jia Amnesty went out to prepare the banquet for many merchants later.

Many merchants had already arrived at the banquet hall, and they didn't find it strange to see that Jia She was the only one here.It was already lucky to be able to catch a glimpse of His Highness King Qin in Lord Zhen's light yesterday, and it is an honor for them to be able to receive them in person today.

Jia Amnesty planned to come just once, and the magistrate will receive all of them in the future.Only when the owners of big merchants like the Zhen family and the Xia family came over in person, would he personally receive them again.

After Zhen Zhibang took his seat, Jia Amnesty clapped his hands to announce the official start of the banquet.

Because drinking would affect the important things to say today, Jia Amnesty asked everyone to bring wine with tea.After everyone had finished eating, Jia Amnesty left the table and went to the stage in front of the banquet hall, ready to explain his plan.

The merchants listened to Jia She's explanation with a more serious attitude than listening to the master's lecture, and some even took notes on paper so as not to forget something later.Zhen Zhibang heard the end without saying a word, and understood Jia Amnesty's plan.

"Master Jia wants to use the money from merchants to build Yunnan. Mr. Zhen admires it, but Mr. Zhen also has a question, please ask Mr. Jia to clarify. How can Mr. Jia prove this money..."

Zhen Zhibang asked Jia Amnesty how he could guarantee that all the money he got would be used for construction, instead of filling his own pockets and flowing into Jia Amnesty's pocket.This question was asked sharply, and the merchants who had been discussing it in a low voice stopped discussing it, and waited with bated breath for Jia She's explanation.

"If there is corruption in this official, Mr. Zhen will be the first to hand over the bullet to impeach this official. These are all recorded in the account book. If the money is not in the account, I will take off my head and kick it for you!"

Jia Amnesty's words were tough enough that Zhen Zhibang didn't know how to answer Jia Amnesty for a moment.Xia Hongyun felt a little cold at the sight, and immediately applauded and shouted: "We believe in Master Jia!"

Zhen Zhibang glared at the provocative Xia Hongyun, and felt that Xia Hongyun, who couldn't tell when to make a fuss, deserved to be suppressed by the Xue family all the time and couldn't become the richest man!

With Xia Hongyun taking the lead, the others also applauded.Zhen Zhibang wanted to doubt Jia Amnesty's words again, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch Jia Amnesty get off the table waving his hands, and accept inquiries from merchants who still didn't understand.

No matter what, the Zhen family can make money.Zhen Zhibang temporarily let Jia Amnesty go, thinking about sending more people to keep an eye on him...

If the money Jia She earned did not match the progress of the road construction, Jia She would definitely know how powerful the Zhen family is!

After explaining everything clearly, Jia Amnesty will hand over the matter of showing these people to the magistrate, and he will go back to the Yamen to have a look.

Situ Chen asked Jia Hu to write two more articles after dinner, and guided Jia Hu through these two articles.Different from the angle Jia Hu had heard before, Situ Chen's explanation brought Jia Hu a lot of new understanding.

After Jia She came back, Situ Chen asked Jia Hu to rest for a while, and then told Jia Hu that Jia Hu was going to study at Bailu Academy.

"Hu'er is very knowledgeable, and there is no problem in getting in with her ability. White Deer Academy will start recruiting again in September this year, and then I will handle the fake household registration that Huer needs."

When the son grows up, he will eventually need to go out on his own. Jia She holds Jia Hu's arm and tells him what needs to be done.

"We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. If someone dares to bully you, don't talk nonsense to him. Write a letter and tell Dad. Dad will go and deal with him! If Dad doesn't have time, he will ask Uncle Lin and Uncle Xue to vent your anger on you." ...and pay more attention to your body, don't wear yourself out from studying. If you can't pass the Jinshi exam, you can't pass the exam..."

Situ Chen heard what Jia She said was getting more and more outrageous, and stepped on Jia She with his foot.Now that Jia Hu hasn't entered the White Deer Academy yet, why did the father arrange the way out for his son first?

Jia Hu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Jia She's words, knowing that his father was doing it for his own good.

"Father also pay more attention to his body, son sees that the situation is pretty good now, so don't light the fire..."

When Situ Chen mentioned getting angry, he held back his laughter. Jia Amnesty kicked Situ Chen under the table immediately after seeing it.When he goes to bed tonight, he's going to nibble on Situ Chen's body twice!

However, Jia Amnesty just felt refreshed.

In the evening, Jia She, who had been running all day, was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyelids. Even sitting on the bedside and soaking his feet, he had to rely on Situ Chen's arms, or he would have fallen to one side.

"Enhou worked hard today, let's go to bed earlier."

Situ Chen said, helped Jia She to lie down, and tucked the quilt for Jia She, and then lay down on the side of the bed.

"Uh-huh……"

Jia Amnesty fell asleep not long after his head touched the pillow.

However, when Situ Chen was still in a daze of sleep, Jia Amnesty started talking in his sleep.Situ Chen listened attentively, unexpectedly Jia She was still thinking about business in his dream.

"Where did the second prince go? He can't really return to Xinjiang. It's been so long since I sent the letter...why didn't there be any reply..."

After hearing Jia She's sleep talk, Situ Chen held Jia She's hand, trying to comfort Jia She who was not sleeping soundly.However, it didn't take long for Jia Amnesty to change a new topic, talking about Zhen Zhibang's suspicion that he would embezzle money.

"I haven't lived enough, how dare I be corrupt. If I am corrupt, Situ Chen will not have me exiled for three thousand miles..."

Hearing the exile for three thousand miles, Situ Chen chuckled, how could he be willing to exile Jia Amnesty.

When Jia She is transferred to other places in the future, if he wants to accept the filial money from the officials below, he will help Jia She analyze and judge what money can be received and what money cannot be received.

The big deal is to return the money in the end, be scolded by his father, fined some salary, and be confined in the mansion for a few months to reflect...

In a daze, Situ Chen also fell asleep, but the emperor who was far away in the capital was so worried that he couldn't fall asleep looking at the second son's book.

The son wanted to make contributions, he, the father, should have supported him, but the emperor was worried about where the second son should go.

It's not easy to tell the minister about this kind of thing. The emperor thought for a while and decided to talk to the prince tomorrow to see what the prince thinks.

The prince's thoughts were not as complicated as the emperor's, and he thought it would be no problem to send his second brother back to Xinjiang.After all, his second brother has been familiar with military books since he was a child, so it is not a problem to bring people to guard and return to Xinjiang.And now his fourth brother is doing well in Yunnan. There are also many ethnic groups scattered, and he can still have reference experience.

"Hmm... what the emperor said makes sense, I'll think about it again."

When the emperor said this, he had actually agreed, but he had to make all the preparations before he could issue the imperial edict.

Although he was going back to Xinjiang, the Second Prince was still very excited to finally have a serious job.However, Concubine Duan sighed secretly, why did she go back to Xinjiang?

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has already started to prepare in secret, and it's hard for Concubine Duan to ask the Emperor to change her son to a better place.

"Who are you going to take with you when you go back to Xinjiang?" Concubine Duan thought that since she couldn't change where she was going, she should make more preparations so as not to wrong her son.

The second prince only planned to take his eldest son and second son to the frontier for exercise, leaving the youngest son to accompany the princess.When Concubine Duan asked who the people in the backyard brought, the second prince shook his head and said that he would not bring anyone.

After all, when his fourth brother went to Yunnan, he didn't bring anyone from the backyard with him.

Concubine Duan thought for a long time, but did not say "how are you compared to two widowers"...

When Situ Chen received his second brother's reply, he was just catching up with the merchants' carriages full of goods, and they were about to go back to the south of the Yangtze River on the big ship of Nan'an County King from Nan'an to the sea.

Jia Amnesty personally sent these people away, and when he returned to the yamen, he was calculating how much money he had earned from this trip, when Situ Chen saw the needle and said, "Father intends to let the second brother go back to Xinjiang in September."

"Well... I can almost make it back..."

If there is anything that needs their help for the second prince's return to Xinjiang, they will naturally help.

Prior to this, Jia Amnesty planned to take Jia Hu to Jinling in July.One is to get acquainted with the environment around the academy and the fake identity, and the other is to participate in Xue Qian's daughter's San San and Full Moon...

The latter item is Jia Amnesty's selfishness.

"Enhou seems to like his daughter very much?" Situ Chen asked out of feeling.
