Knowing that Zhang Pu would vomit blood in such a shameless reply, Chen Xie did this. After handling many letters and official duties, Chen Xie went to Jiaozhou Bay and inspected the construction of the new shipyard and the new port. This place is very suitable for construction as a military port. Three large forts were built on the hills around Jiaozhou Bay, which is a fortress.

Franaranda accompanied Chen Xie to inspect and patted his chest and said that the first phase of the project would be put into use in half a year at the latest. At that time, it would be put into use at one time, and three docks of 2,000-ton warships would be built. After the new military port was put into use, the main force of the entire Dengzhou Navy could be anchored in Jiaozhou Bay.

After inspection, Chen Xie did not return to the gentle hometown of Qishan District, but returned to Dengzhou. Zhu Dadian has been in office for two months, so Chen Xie should go to see him.

The convoy was driving on the road to Zhangjiazhuang. Chen Xie in the carriage continued to enjoy his life. North Korea could only serve as a concubine and serve Mr. Chen's daily life. This guy was really hateful. If the ministers had known about it before, he would impeach him to take the princess of the vassal country as his concubine, destroy the gangs and education of the two countries, and damage the reputation of the Ming Dynasty. Now, no one would hurt the brain to impeach him because it was useless. After Chen Xie entered the capital, Zhu Youjian did not take Chen Xie, but let him go back to Dengzhou. No matter how stupid people were, they knew how to treat this guy.

Zhu Youjian's attitude was very clear. He did whatever he wanted in Dengzhou territory and did not rebel. He had to accept the management of the court in name. When war was needed, Chen Xie would send troops. Anyway, the food and salary would not be required to be paid by the court.

It cannot be said that Zhu Youjian is just indulging Chen Xie, but he cannot find a good way to check and balance Chen Xie.

While touching his hands irresponsibly, he was thinking about whether he would carry out a demolition and expand the Chen family courtyard in Zhangjiazhuang. Today, Zhangjiazhuang is no longer a small village of the past. The scale has been expanded by many times, and Chen Xie didn't know. It really doesn't work. Just build another manor at the foot of Longshan.

There was a burst of cheers in the open space on the side of the road. When Mr. Chen lifted the curtains and took a look, the Red Lady's juggling team was performing hard. It seemed that she would not plan to leave Dengzhou in the short term. She probably would not have such a good income to perform in other places.

When Hongniang, who was doing flexibly on the rope, saw Chen Xie's convoy appear, her feet suddenly became unbalanced and her body tilted to the side. Hongniang was shocked. She padded her feet hard, grabbed the flagpole on the side, and slipped down, so she did not make a fool of herself in public.

The car door opened and saw Chen Xie leaning over to look at him. There were still several women's faces behind him. The Red Lady felt uncomfortable. She snorted and turned around to look at him. Chen Xie looked thoughtfully for a while, then retracted back into the car and continued on the road. When the Red Lady turned around, the carriage had already walked away. I don't know why. The heart, who had always been strong, was a little sour.

"Someone came to visit? Waited for half a month?" Chen Xie was a little strange when he heard this news. It was difficult for people outside to enter the Zhangjiazhuang. These visitors who claimed to be literati in Jiangnan could only live in hotels in the market. Who is so patient? After waiting for half a month? Chen Xie looked at the names on the visiting post, and another one was met in a hurry.

Sun Lin, Fang Yizhi, Songjiang Xia Yunyi, and Xu Fuyuan visited together. Chen Xie did not have much affection for the literati of the Ming Dynasty. This really determines the head. Speaking of which, if the background of these people is not a big landlord, but a businessman, Chen Xie would not mind hooking up. After all, there are very few scholars who serve Chen Xie now. In the past, there was a Zhang Yao who was close to Chen Xie. After Zhang Yao thought for a long time, he decided to resign and go home to retire. This is to remain neutral. Both sides did not stand in line and consciously kept a distance from Chen Xie's team.

This practice made Chen Xie clearly realize that it was difficult for the literati class of the Ming Dynasty to accept a guy who could become a thief. Although in terms of interests, the local official and business group of Dengzhou represented by Zhang Yao is now an interest group with Chen Xie. However, it does not prevent this group from being a fence-betted person and both sides bet.

This is a very normal thing, especially in troubled times. Zhang Yao is like this. She is unemployed at home and stays in Dengzhou City to study behind closed doors. Her eldest son Zhang Xin goes to the capital, using the excuse to study and prepare for the next spring boudoir.

Chen Xie really doesn't care about Zhang Yao's attitude. He has already reached this point. The next thing is not where Daming takes him, but Chen Xie is about to push Daming to move in the direction he wants to go.

Chen Xie decided to meet them, hoping that these literati who were used to point fingers at the court would bow to them. They were jokes that were only found in fantasy novels. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty, God, my second brother. Chen Xie just wanted to see what ridiculous suggestions they would say when they faced themselves.

The four literati who came together had been in Dengzhou for more than a month. Last time Chen Xie returned to Dengzhou, they wanted to go to see him. They never thought of rushing to Zhangjiazhuang, General Chen went to sea. So the four of them discussed and stayed and continued to wait. Anyway, these families were not short of money, and the living standards in Dengzhou were not high. They simply had food and accommodation, so they could not spend much money.

Under the banner of studying abroad, when they arrived in Dengzhou, the four of them naturally had to walk around to see the appearance of Dengzhou. This time it took a month to turn, and there were so many things that they couldn't understand.

As for the market, I have never seen such a neat city. I can't see a beggar on the street, nor can I see the green gangsters I often see everywhere. This city is full of a sense of regular beauty from top to bottom. Walking on the street, the roads are wider than in other places, and the carriages must be on the right. "Urban Management" with red armbands on their shoulders can be seen everywhere. These people look fierce, but they have never seen any bad things about bullying and dominating the market.

After spending a month and roughly understanding the city, they realized that they were attracted by this place. They got used to the cleanliness and convenience of life, and letting them go back to their hometown and stay in the countryside, they would really worry about not getting used to it.

Especially after the weather is hot, there are many fewer mosquitoes in Dengzhou City, which is even more surprising.

They have been talking about a question: What method did General Chen use to govern Dengzhou? So they urgently wanted to see Chen Xie, but after they could not visit him, they seemed to wait patiently. In the Zhangjiazhuang area, they got more information from their visits. This is Chen Xie's old nest, and many things are more intuitive.

After finding out that more information could be obtained in this place, several scholars moved directly to the hotel in the market. They walked around every day, looked around, and chatted with people in the teahouse. Gradually, they had a rough impression of Chen Xie. It is hard to say whether their senses about Chen Xie were positive, but it is certain that they hoped to have a deeper understanding of Chen Xie.

Han Shan found the hotel, and the people went out, leaving a message to let them leave early tomorrow morning. The four of them returned to the hotel before dusk. After learning the news from the shopkeeper, they were unexpectedly not too excited, but instead sat down quietly and thoughtful.

"We all have to think about it carefully. What should we say when we see Chen Sihua?" Fang Yizhi's words were recognized by everyone, but they also had different views. For example, Sun Lin asked back: "Why aren't Master Chen? I thought that even if one day he became a Jinshi on the future, the gap between us and Master Chen was more than ten thousand miles in terms of how to govern the country?"

Fang Yizhi frowned and said bluntly to his brother-in-law: "You and I are both scholars and have fame. It is true that Chen Sihua is the general, but in terms of his background, he is just a supervisor. What is this related to the way of governing the country?"

The older Xia Yunyi immediately spoke, interrupting Sun Lin's words to retort: ​​"Don't fight anymore, it's meaningless. Everyone goes back to their respective rooms and think about it carefully, how to face General Chen tomorrow."

The Ming Dynasty gave scholars too many status, which directly led them to get used to being arrogant. Although they knew that tomorrow would still be like this, what consequences might be caused. But everyone still had their own ideas in their hearts. Fang Yizhi, who had a good background, would not change his views. No matter how successful a general was, he could not compare to the attractiveness of the two Jinshis. He also spent the same time in Dengzhou, and everyone's positioning in his heart was different. Xia Yunyi was thinking, if I did things under him, what level could I do? Xu Fuyuan was thinking about what method did General Chen rely on to defeat the Later Jin Dynasty. Sun Lin thought more simply that I would stay and do things for Lord Chen.

The sun rose again, and a new day came. After gathering downstairs, Hanshan appeared when the four scholars gathered downstairs and enjoyed the hotel's free breakfast. After reporting the purpose of the visit, the four of them quickly finished their meals. Their children left behind and followed Hanshan out and got on the carriage waiting at the door. When the sound of horse hooves of the tower tower hit the hearts, the four of them had different feelings.

Chen Xie, wearing a long gown, stood at the side door, watching the carriage coming. When the four people who came out of the car door were standing in front of him, Chen Xie bowed and smiled, "I am Chen Xie, the four of you are here from afar, I wonder what you can do?" Seeing Chen Xie standing at the door to greet him, the four people's thoughts were still different. Fang Yizhi at most believed that Chen Xie was not a legendary contemptuous person. Sun Lin and Xia Yunyi believed that this move was a respectful and respectful person. Xu Fuyuan's thoughts were all about military tactics, and he didn't think much about anything else.

After entering the gate, entering the living room, and after the maid sent the tea, Chen Xie smiled and said, "Four friends, what are you going to teach me?" (To be continued)
