Chapter 201 I Am Qingdu Shanshuilang (Additional Update!)

Today's Baoan Lake is really lively. Chen Heng just ran past with Xinda in a hurry, and a group of people followed behind him. They all wanted to see the excitement in the city. From the scene, it seemed that the people behind were chasing Chen Heng. If you really say that, it's not bad.

The birds in the forest were disturbed by the uninvited guests, and they were very angry. They flew from the branches and flew across the blue sky.

When they arrived at the resting place, Chen Heng jumped onto the carriage in a few steps. Before he sat down, Xinda was already sitting in the front of the carriage and waving the reins. When the strong horse galloped away, Chen Heng was still shaking in the carriage.

"Xinda, don't be anxious."

The startled Chen Heng warned his brother.

"Hey." Xinda responded, but the whip in his hand did not stop, and he whipped the horse's buttocks repeatedly.

The tourists who were a few steps behind were not in a hurry. The main person ran away, so they chased him. Anyway, there were many rickshaws at the gate, and they could take a shortcut. Jieyuanfang in the east of the city, the monks can escape but the temple cannot.

When Chen Heng and Xinda were near the gate, the road leading to the gate had been put under martial law by the soldiers who came. Chen Heng and Xinda had to entrust the carriage to the nearby merchants. The two brothers got off the horses and reported their identities to the soldiers, and then they were given the opportunity to pass through.

The horse did not stop, and Chen Heng rushed all the way to the door of his house, and saw many neighbors gathered at the door to watch the excitement. There was also a yellow flag symbolizing identity hanging high, indicating that a distinguished guest had come to the house.

Chen Heng took a breath outside, tidied his clothes, and waited for his breathing to become smoother. He walked up to the curious fellow villagers and patted his back, "Brother, please, please, please let me go."

"What do you mean, there are people inside." The elder brother waved his hand impatiently, "I can only see a door. You can't see the angel even if you get closer."

"But I want to go home." Chen Heng was a little amused and had to explain patiently.

The elder brother heard that the voice was not right, and he turned around and exclaimed immediately: "Oh my god, it's Mr. Jie Yuan."

His shouting immediately made half of the people in front turn around. When everyone saw the real owner, they realized that they had been looking for a long time, but Mr. Jie Yuan had not returned home yet.

They were all neighbors, except for smiling and envious. Everyone still gave Chen Jie Yuan face, retreated to both sides, and squeezed out a small path leading directly to Chen's house.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Heng walked along, thanked all the way, and passed under the plaque of Jie Yuan. As soon as he walked into the door of his house, he saw a group of cautious and cautious family members surrounding a green-robed official.

This is what Chen Heng was worried about. His family rarely had experience dealing with officials. If there was any impoliteness, it would be unfair. Seeing this, Jie Yuangong hurried forward and stood in front of the green-robed official and said, "Sir..."

"Hey, Jie Yuangong, there is no need to be so polite." The green-robed official chuckled and took Chen Heng's hand. "I am Lin Chong, the right deputy of the Xingren Division."

The Xingren Division is a place in the palace that specifically reads the imperial edict for the emperor. Like the eunuchs in the palace, they usually only convey oral instructions. There are cases where eunuchs read the imperial edicts, similar to the TV series, but they are very rare. It is also a situation that the ministers in the court strongly oppose.

The Xingren Division has a chief, who is a ninth-rank official. The left and right deputy are ninth-rank officials. There are more than 300 Xingren. Compared with them, as long as the Juren masters were willing to seek jobs outside the capital, the lowest rank was the seventh-rank county magistrate.

Although the official positions of the two were very different, the Xingrensi was after all the emperor's edict. Chen Heng's calling him "Sir" was not impolite, and Lin Chong's refusal to accept was also a polite move. There was no other reason, the Jieyuan plaque was hanging at the door of Chen's house.

"Since Jieyuan has returned home, let's announce the edict." Lin Chong said to the young man with a smile. Seeing Chen Heng nod, he waved his hand and the ceremonial officer sent by the government office led Chen Heng to his family.

Lin Chong stepped forward, took the yellow package from the pedestrian, and took out the imperial edict from it.

The brocade surface of the imperial edict was pure white, which was the exclusive color for those below the fifth rank. The shaft heads held in the left and right hands were black ox horns, which was fine. The difference between the imperial edicts was mainly determined by the color of the brocade surface. Among them, the pure color is for low-ranking officials, and only those above the fifth rank will have different colors and shaft heads.

Holding the pure white imperial edict, Lin Chong stepped forward and stood in front of the Chen family, saying in a loud voice: "Chen Heng, receive the edict."

The academy has popularized the etiquette of being an official for all the candidates, and Chen Heng also knows his identity. He is a reserve official in the Great Yong Dynasty and can see the imperial edict without kneeling. With just a flick of his sleeves, he bowed and saluted, saying: "I, the humble Chen Heng, respectfully greets the Holy Saint."

Behind Chen Heng, the Chen family, regardless of gender, age or age, bowed down with the people outside. This is the original meaning of "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers", which means that the emperor is the parent of all people in the world and should love the people like his own children.

Lin Chong said solemnly: "Saints are safe, the emperor of the heaven and earth, the edict says, Chen Heng of Shanxi Village, Taixing County, Yangzhou Prefecture, is smart and studious, and has a rank..."

The edict is also a form of the imperial edict. It is just lower than the edict, the edict, etc. It is often used for officials and people below the fifth rank.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a filial son who was unable to take the imperial examination because of his filial piety to his mother. He was often praised by the villagers and the county magistrate. The county magistrate reported the story of this filial son to the court. When the emperor learned about it, he rewarded him with an official position and gave his mother a life of peace. This was also a way of telling the people to be kind to their elderly parents.

Since Chen Heng had not yet officially entered the government, Li Zhi's imperial edict went straight to the point. At the beginning, he said that he knew Chen Heng, a child who loved to study, had good behavior, and was filial to his family. When he was studying, he helped the prefect of Yangzhou solve many problems. All this must have been the result of the teaching of their elders. I am very pleased and hope to see this child in the capital as soon as possible.

"... I specially grant Chen Zhou the eighth-rank lady and Chen Gu the ninth-rank lady..."

Chen Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this reward. The ancients often said that ennobling a wife would benefit his son. He has not yet married, and the two most important women at the moment have both received a good fate because of him. It is really the best.

Although they are only the eighth and ninth ranks, with these two backgrounds, grandma and mother can also ask for a seat when they meet county officials and state officials in the future, and become guests of honor directly.

"On September 29, the first year of Jianping, I decree this."

The short imperial edict ended with the last syllable of Lin Chong's high-pitched voice. Chen Heng immediately answered loudly: "I, Chen Heng, accept the edict and thank you."

At this point, we have to wait a little longer. Chen Heng spread his hands and waited for Lin Chong to hand the imperial edict to him before he could really stand up straight. Lin Chong's face had begun to melt, and he smiled at the young man in front of him and said, "Mr. Jie Yuan, His Majesty hopes that you will go to Beijing as soon as possible."

This matter has been mentioned once in the imperial edict. Chen Heng nodded without changing his expression, and immediately said, "Lord Lin, do you think we can set off tomorrow morning?"

Lin Chong also knew that the Chen family needed a night to digest this imperial grace, so he nodded. He said again: "Then tomorrow morning, please pack up, Mr. Jie Yuan, and wait for me and Sun Si Zheng at home."

Chen Heng didn't expect that even Si Zheng of the Xingren Division would come. Seeing that the other party was not present, he guessed that the other party should be in the government office to announce the edict. He was not wrong. Just as his side was over, the imperial edict at the government office was still being read.

The imperial edict prepared by Li Zhi for Lin Ruhai was written by the Hanlin Academy. It was extraordinary in terms of writing and every word was a pearl. With the theme of the relationship between the monarch and the minister, it not only pointed out Lin Ruhai's character and talent, but also affirmed his political achievements in Yangzhou. Finally, it granted Jia Min the fourth rank of Hao Ming.

When Lin Chong passed through the surrounding people, the imperial edict at the government office had just finished reading. There is no need to talk about what happened over there. Just say that the Chen family was still in shock and ecstasy.

Zhou and Gu, who suddenly received the Hao Ming, were both in a daze. With the help of their family members, they slowly stood up. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and Zhou said, "We...we...haven't thanked the emperor yet."

Gu nodded repeatedly. She was so nervous that she couldn't speak at the time, so how could she think about it. But now, she is also a lady of the imperial court, and she is overwhelmed with joy, and she doesn't know what to say.

"Heng'er, come and tell grandma if this is true." Zhou broke away from her husband's support and waved to her grandson, "Why does grandma feel like she is dreaming?"

Chen Heng laughed, and slid to grandma obediently, holding her hand covered with age spots, and comforted her: "Grandma, it's true. Look, the imperial edict is still in my hand."

Chen Heng shook the imperial edict in his right hand, which frightened the whole family. Chen Gaishan stepped forward, snatched the imperial edict from his grandson, held it in his arms like a treasure, and said repeatedly: "It must be worshipped and left for Heng'er's children to see in the future."

Chen Heng shook his head helplessly. He was only a few years old, and he started to think about children. He held Zhou and Gu in each hand, "Grandma, mother, let's go home and talk."

The door of the house is open now, and it is indeed not the time to talk. Zhou and Gu nodded blankly. After walking a few steps, Zhou suddenly exclaimed: "Heng'er, are you going to Beijing?!"

Gu finally reacted, and her surprise was gone. She was worried: "The New Year is coming soon, how come..."

Qingyue hadn't closed the door yet. Chen Heng was worried that his mother would say something wrong, so he comforted her: "I think His Majesty thinks that the child is a novel person, and he will probably come back after meeting him. Then he can celebrate the New Year with you."

That's it, Gu's worry turned into joy.

When the family closed the door, they naturally had some intimate words to say.

But they were leaving tomorrow, and Chen Heng had to go to some places, so he hurried to say goodbye. Wang Xianming's place was definitely indispensable. He heard that his disciple had received the imperial edict, and he was overjoyed and said good things several times. He repeatedly told him to be careful after entering Beijing.

It was definitely not a good time to go to the government office today. The angel was here, and he had just promised to leave tomorrow, so how could he walk around in front of people. Chen Heng changed direction with Xinda and headed straight to the headmaster's house.

Pei Huaizhen had written quite a few imperial edicts himself, and he regarded this matter as a trivial matter. He said to his disciples, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get away from the capital for a while."

Chen Heng was silent. He and his teacher had the same opinion on the current situation. The Great Yong Dynasty is now in a critical moment. His Majesty, who is so short of money, will definitely not miss any possibility of revival.

"Heng'er."

"Master, I'm here."

The teacher and the student were still making the final answer.

"Before you leave, I have one more word of warning for you."

"Please teach me, Master." Chen Heng stood up straight, watching Pei Huaizhen cheer up, and said in a deep voice: "There are good and bad ways to be an official, high and low. But in the end, you must remember the principle of ruling for the people. Whether it's an honest official or a corrupt official. In ancient times, powerful officials were few and far between. Whoever truly cared about the people, the people would keep him in their hearts, and history would write his name in the book."

Chen Heng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, just like he did to Wang Xianming, and kowtowed to Pei Huaizhen on the ground. "For the past two years, it is all thanks to the careful teaching of the headmaster, who enlightened me and made me determined. This time, I will remember your teachings. I will never forget my lifelong ambition and live up to what I have learned."

"Get up, get up." Pei Huaizhen stood up tremblingly and pulled Chen Heng up from the ground. Both the master and the disciple knew that if there was a chance, today's separation would be the last time they would see each other in this life.

"Good boy, now are you willing to tell me what your ambition is?"

Chen Heng didn't need to think about it. With a resolute face and clear eyebrows, he said loudly: "I have known the vastness of the universe, but I still pity the green grass and trees."

Pei Huaizhen chewed the poem several times, and said happily: "Sell it, sell it. My jade is waiting for a buyer, my jade is waiting for a buyer."

At this point, Pei Huaizhen was already in tears. Fate is determined by heaven. In the future, how many chances will he have to see the beautiful jade he carved again?

When the sun sets, the sun will rise again. Just like the farewell between Chen and Pei.

…………

…………

The next day, the fragrance of osmanthus wafted through the square. The afterglow of the reward for the Chen family in Sancai Square had not yet dissipated, and the sound of gongs and drums by the angels passing by attracted them.

It was late in the morning, and the sun was high in the sky. The people spontaneously followed the parade of pedestrians and drivers and came to the door of the Chen family again. Lin Chong knocked on the door and saw Chen Heng, who had packed up, Xinda with his luggage, and Liu Xianglian with a sword on his waist.

The latter heard that Chen Lang was about to go to Beijing, and came to Chen's house last night to express his intention to go with him. In the past two years, Liu Erlang has almost finished his tour of Jiangnan, and was bored and idle in Yangzhou every day. It happened that Chen Heng left, so they simply set off together.

"Mr. Jie Yuan, let's go." Lin Chong said to Chen Heng, signaling him to say goodbye to his family.

Chen Heng walked out of the door with Xinda, and looked back at his parents and relatives who chased out of the door. Even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, he couldn't help but feel emotional, and his eyes immediately turned red, "Grandpa and grandma, parents, you have to take care of your body."

"Heng'er."

The beloved grandson was going to travel far away from home again. The Chen family, who were still overwhelmed by the imperial edict yesterday, were all moved and sad.

"Take care of yourself when you arrive in the capital."

"Go early and come back early."

"We will wait for you at home for the New Year."

"If you have anything, write to Dad."

"Brother, remember to bring me something."

Chen Heng remembered the faces of his family members one by one in his mind. He had just kowtowed to his grandparents, and there was still a slight red mark on his forehead. At this moment, he also said: "The child knows, grandpa and grandma, parents, take care."

He no longer hesitated, turned around, and strode towards Lin Chong. When they were about to join the procession, Lin Chong ordered someone to bring out a white horse and smiled at Chen Heng: "Your Majesty said that a good horse should be ridden. Lord Jie Yuan, this is the imperial horse of the palace, with a gentle temperament. If you don't know how to ride, just let the groom lead it."

After whispering the advice, Lin Chong stepped back and said loudly: "Please Lord Jie Yuan, get on the horse."

The people saw that there was something fun to watch, and they all shouted in unison, "Please Lord Jie Yuan, get on the horse."

Li Zhi was very caring towards this future God of Wealth. Although he did not directly reward him with an official title, all his considerations were to tickle the man's itch.

Chen Heng was also a layman, and when he saw the white horse with a bright white body and extraordinary spirit, the sadness of parting in his heart was slightly blown away. He had learned to ride a horse with Xin Suzhao, and was no stranger to horses. He immediately stepped on the stirrup and turned over, and jumped on.

Seeing Lord Jie Yuan's beautiful skills, and the horse and the young man, the onlookers also cheered. Accompanying Chen Heng, who looked unusually proud, all the way to the dock.

Lin Ruhai, who came to see him off, had been waiting for a long time. They were the chief officers of the Human Resources Department. The two masters and apprentices met here, but they could not talk too much.

Lin Ruhai looked at the younger generation who was about to travel far away, and reminded him: "Don't forget to visit Brother Wei's house when you go to the capital."

Chen Heng nodded. This was Lin Ruhai's official connections, and also because Chen Heng and Wei Yinghong had a relationship in the government examination. It was not impolite to visit. Lin Ruhai thought about it, and then worriedly said: "You don't have to go every day. When there is something, just go and ask."

Chen Heng was dumbfounded immediately. Uncle, what are you talking about? You can't burn incense to the Buddha like this.

Lin Ruhai held back his laughter and just waved his hand, signaling Chen Heng to board the ship quickly. If he guessed correctly, at most one year, his family would also go to the capital to meet Chen Heng. Wei Yinghong couldn't possibly do anything wrong in this year.

Chen Heng was riding on an official ship, which was not as good as the one that Lin Daiyu took when she came back, but it was much better than the passenger ship.

The wind blew and the clouds moved, but the sky did not move; the water pushed the boat to move the shore, but the shore did not move.

As the official ship slowly sailed into the river, the waving figures on the dock became smaller and smaller. Yangzhou was finally sending away its most beloved child. The wind was gentle at this time, and only the sunlight was gentle and intoxicating.

Halfway through the river, Chen Heng suddenly heard singing from the shore. He was originally admiring the scenery at the bow of the boat. When he heard Xinda constantly shouting "Second brother, look, look quickly", he turned his head.

He saw Xue Ke, Jiang Yuanbai, Qian Dayou, Daiyu Baoqin, Wei Dajia and others in the pavilion on the shore. When these people saw Chen Heng looking over, they kept shaking their hands and shouting.

"Brother Heng, wait for us in the capital."

"Brother Heng, take care."

"Brother!!"

Chen Heng also nodded and waved excitedly. He didn't expect that they would wait for him here. He saw Wei Dajia playing the piano and singing. The sound of the piano was faint, sending the wanderer off one journey after another. Wei Dajia came to Yangzhou occasionally and encountered this good show. He also thought about sending off the head of Qiupu Street, just to join in the fun.

On the endless smoke, only the gentle singing came with the wind, and heard: "I am a man of mountains and waters in Qingdu, and God has given me the task of being wild. I once approved the rain and the wind, and the clouds and the moon were borrowed."

The singing did not stop, and the boat did not stop. In a blink of an eye, Chen Heng passed by them and was about to lean over to look back. Suddenly, groups of people came out on the shore to see them off. Chen Heng looked carefully and found that most of them were male and female craftsmen from Qiupu Street, and there were also people from Yangzhou who came to join in the fun.

They didn't know when they came. They held various flowers in their hands. When the boat passed by, they threw the flowers into the golden waves. The musicians of the Kun family troupe, who were mixed in the crowd, followed the troupe leader's piano and continued to sing: "Ten thousand poems, a thousand wines. How many times have you looked at the princes and kings?"

The river reflected by the sun continued to move forward, and the ripples pushed pieces of duckweed to the side of the boat. Liu Xianglian was inspired and squatted on the boat board, scooped up a few flowers with his long hands, and held them in front of the main character.

The two directors of the pedestrian department were very shocked. They didn't expect that this young man had such a high reputation in Yangzhou. They didn't know the relationship between Chen Heng and Qiupu Street, nor did they understand that Chen Heng was not just recruiting female workers. He took the initiative to ask people to teach them calligraphy and arranged them to go out to meet guests. All these friendships turned into today's ten-mile farewell.

"I'm too lazy to go back to the jade tower and golden palace, and I'll put plum blossoms and get drunk in Luoyang."

"I'm too lazy to go back to the jade tower and golden palace, and I'll put plum blossoms and get drunk in Luoyang."

The last sentence of the song was repeated three times. After singing, the people who saw him off on the shore only had calls.

"Chen Lang, go early and come back early."

"Chen Lang, Chen Lang... remember us."

Chen Heng's heart surged, and his heroic spirit doubled. He thought about it, but he had no words to answer. He bowed to the people who saw him off on the shore.

Goodbye, Yangzhou.

…………

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was October 8th. Chen Heng, who had been tired all the way, finally arrived in Beijing with Xinda and Liu Xianglian. As soon as he got off the dock, the group was invited to the palace gate by the guards from the palace.

The eunuch who had been waiting here for a long time led Chen Heng to the palace alone. Along the way, he taught Chen Heng the etiquette in front of the emperor while walking quickly.

Fortunately, this road was a bit long, and Chen Heng had a good memory. When he arrived at the Linjing Palace where he was to see the emperor, the purple-robed eunuch who led the way said, "Your Majesty, Chen Heng, a candidate from Yangzhou, is here to see you."

"Announce."

"Announce————"

After two long sounds, a red-robed eunuch came out and took over the responsibility of leading the way, and then led Chen Heng into the palace.

Before he could take a closer look at the emperor's appearance, Chen Heng had already raised his sleeves and said loudly, "I, the humble Chen Heng, pay my respects to your majesty."

Sitting in front of the desk, Li Zhi finally saw the handsome young man in front of him, and his heart was even more excited. He immediately smiled and said, "You are already a candidate, although you have not yet been appointed to an official position, you can first call yourself a minister."

"I obey the order." Chen Heng bowed again to thank the emperor for his grace. With Li Zhi's words, he was also listed in the court, and could be considered halfway into his career.

Li Zhi didn't need to say much, Xia Shouzhong came forward for him and said, "No need to be polite."

After receiving the order, Chen Heng stood still slightly, and although he stood straight, his eyebrows were drooping. Li Zhi noticed the young man's nervousness and asked with a smile: "How is the teacher's health?"

This time, Chen Heng raised his head slightly and saw a man in his fifties sitting on the throne. He had a square face, a lion nose, eagle eyes, and flying eyebrows.

The king and his minister looked at each other for the first time. One admired the other's youth and elegance. The other was surprised by the other's extraordinary power and murderous spirit.

"The teacher's health is still good." Chen Heng answered.

Li Zhi nodded. He was just starting a conversation. Li Zhi himself knew about Pei Huaizhen's health. He smiled and pointed to the two people on the steps, and introduced them with pride: "This is my prince."

Li Xian nodded and smiled at the young man. He was the king who Li Zhi had cultivated with all his efforts.

Chen Heng remembered that the headmaster said that the status of the prince of this dynasty was unshakable, and Li Zhi would not allow his descendants to make his mistakes again.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Heng bowed again, and he was considered to know the second most important person in Dayong.

Li Xian waved his hand, walked forward and took Chen Heng's arm with a smile, "Mr. Chen, there is no need to be polite. Father summoned you so hastily. If you have anything in the capital, you can come to me. My mansion in the city is the Prince of Jin's Mansion."

Prince of Jin was Li Xian's title before he became the crown prince. The mansion at that time was kept as a separate courtyard outside the palace after Li Xian moved into the East Palace.

According to the rules, the crown prince should be orphaned. But Li Xian said this to give face to Pei Huaizhen and to get close to Chen Heng. It was also due to his own personality. Li Zhi had a strong temper, and as a son, he often had to act as a lubricant between his father and the ministers.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Zhi was very satisfied with their first meeting, and pointed to Li Jun who was following closely behind Li Xian, saying: "This is my grandson, Li Jun. He is the same age as you, you two can get close to each other in the future."

Uh...what should the grandson be called? The eunuch in front didn't say it. Chen Heng was a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "Greetings, Your Highness the Grandson."

Before Li Jun could reply, Li Xian had already said with a smile: "What's the point of greeting? You two are the same age. In the future, you can just say that you have met. If he annoys you later, Chen Qing, just come and tell me, and let me deal with him."

Li Zhi nodded with deep understanding and looked at the Buddha instead of the monk. Pei Huaizhen, the person behind Chen Heng, is the person Li Zhi cannot ignore. He immediately said: "If it doesn't work, tell me, it will be the same."

When his immediate superior said this, Chen Heng had no choice but to say: "I obey the order."

Li Jun's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "How dare you obey this will."

Before Chen Heng could speak, Li Zhi and Li Xian had already looked at him. The latter shrank his neck and took a few steps away. This look is also interesting.

The seats in the Linjing Hall are reserved for the ministers of the court. No matter how much Li Zhi admired Chen Heng, he still had to consider certain official rules for his subordinates.

Since it was not easy to talk here, Li Zhi simply got up and led a group of people to the imperial garden. On the way, he found a pavilion and led several people to sit down. He also ordered Chen Heng to sit next to him.

First, they chatted casually about the Chen family's family affairs. Although Li Zhi knew everything about this matter, it was also a lot of fun to listen to the person involved. When the gossip was almost over, the impatient Li Zhi went straight to his topic.

"Chen Qing, can you do that car dealership in Yangzhou again in the capital?"

Li Zhi was born in the military. His speech was simple and direct, and he did not like to beat around the bush. Chen Heng also responded directly with directness. Although he had a suspicion in his heart, he still pondered. After thinking about it again, he said: "I think it is possible, but not possible."

"Why?!" Li Zhi asked with a calm expression. The Yangzhou government office now has Qiupu Street and a car dealership, and its finances are too good. Even if the salt administration has failed in the past two years, the accounts still have a huge surplus.

Li Jun was already thinking. This scholar just liked to talk in a roundabout way. What is allowed and not allowed. Okay, okay, I would like to give you a happy word.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Heng was about to stand up. Li Zhi smiled and pressed his hand, "It doesn't matter. This dynasty treats scholars favorably. You don't have to be so polite in front of me. Just treat me as an elder in the family and speak freely."

How dare Chen Heng take his words seriously, but he still sat down and continued: "Your Majesty wants to use the car to increase some income for the national treasury."

Seeing Li Zhi nodding, Chen Hengcai continued: "There are many high-ranking families in the capital, and there are many restrictions everywhere. There are not a few carriages and horses in the city. There are even carriage dealers and sedan bearers who have done the work for you. If your Majesty wants Yangzhou City, The results will be immediate, I think it’s impossible.”

The customs and customs of the capital are different from those of free and relaxed Yangzhou. It's not that this business can't be done, it's just that in a hurry, the money that can be earned will not be as much or as fast as what can be made in Yangzhou.

When Chen Heng said this, Li Zhi understood. He asked again, "Where is that?"

"The capital is the center of the world. Now that the National Examination is about to take place, all the people in the world are moving to the capital. They are all important figures in the county and township. When they have seen this thing, they will bring it back to the state capital. What your majesty has gained is not just a Yangzhou Yes. So I think it’s feasible.”

Chen Heng finished speaking slowly, and Li Zhi was already beaming with joy.

Each stage, location, and available relationships and resources are different. In Yangzhou, the only people that can be affected are the people of Yangzhou and Jiangnan and other places. But when it comes to the capital, as the political and cultural center of Dayong, as long as there is a little change, it will inevitably be imitated by the state capitals all over the world. The invisible income brought by this is the purpose of promoting car dealerships in the capital.

Li Zhi thought about it and glanced at Li Xian with pride. It seems that again, look, I will choose the person for you. The latter was also satisfied. Such subtle consideration was worthy of his and his father's diligent waiting.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't speak, Li Xian took the initiative and said: "If Chen Qing is right, the car dealer's business will indeed have little effect in the capital."

Chen Heng looked surprised. He didn't expect Li Zhi to be so eager to build a car dealership in the capital.

The imperial court is so short of money! ?

Li Zhi noticed Chen Heng's strange behavior and smiled calmly: "It seems that this is not the strong medicine I want."

This is naturally not a strong medicine. The main thing about the car dealership is to facilitate travel and promote the flow of people in the city. The accompanying income that comes with it is the bulk of the finance. Although the size of ancient cities was not as large as that of later generations, without transportation, walking was very difficult.

This is a good medicine and a slow medicine. If Li Zhi had the idea of ​​​​gaining a lot at once, he would naturally get what he wanted. Yangzhou has its advantages, but in the whole country, there are not many that can compare with it.

Since it was their first meeting, Li Zhi later only said that he asked the inner court to come forward to organize the car dealership. The topic was brought up in small talk, but the conversation didn't last long. Li Zhi stood up and left, leaving Chen Heng and Li Xian sitting alone.

At this point, Li Zhi left some space for the two of them to be alone, which was also the real purpose of Li Zhi's behavior today. Li Xian is indeed a kind-hearted person, and he is not as impatient as Li Zhi. Just in the garden, talking to Chen Heng about what he saw on the road.

After talking for about half an hour, Chen Heng got free and was led out of the palace by his eunuchs. When we arrived at the gate of the palace, it was already afternoon, and we finally met up with Xinda and Liu Xianglian.

The three of them were going to the city to find an inn to rest for a while. A carriage had stopped in front of them, and a man dressed as a steward jumped out of the carriage and asked loudly: "But Mr. Chen Heng from Taixing County, Yangzhou Prefecture."

"That's right." Chen Heng stepped forward to answer. He didn't even know that he still had so many acquaintances in the capital.

"I am the steward of Mr. Wei, the Minister of Rites, and on the master's order, I have come to invite Mr. Chen to pay a visit."

Good guy, Uncle Lin, you are really good at predicting things.

Let’s make it clear first that girls from the Wei family will never be accepted, and they won’t appear too much.
