Chen Yuan didn't want to be a public enemy of men, and now when he was with his wife, he was too familiar with him and no longer had the passion he had at the beginning. He felt that their skin was not so smooth.

A few days ago, Chen Chunmei found a little girl to take her as a kiss. The girl's eyes always shot ambiguous light at Chen Yuan. Looking at her skin that seemed to be able to squeeze out water, Chen Yuan really itched and had an irrepressible urge.

He was just thinking of retiring two houses again, and let the children and grandchildren do the things to protect women's rights.

Chen Yuan's heart that had been calm for several years was a little moved, but now is not the time. Even if he goes to Qiongzhou, he will have to wait until he goes to Qiongzhou. It is best to get a woman who can dance belly dance back.

Now the women of Zhuluo Kingdom are very popular in the Song Dynasty. The scholars and officials who are used to hugging small waists seem to be particularly in love with those women with some flesh on their belly. Some time ago, Ouyang Xiu also asked someone to go to Zhuluo Kingdom to choose women.

Song Qi is the one with the most flavor. I don’t know which channel he came from, but he actually found an African woman to come back. Once he took the woman to a banquet, which suddenly had a sensational effect. Although the scholars and officials made fun of his woman, they were secretly asking where Song Qi came from.

Being a son-in-law is such a sadness. At least in Bianjing, he cannot pick up girls in a noble manner. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be ugly for Renzong?

Such hard days are almost over. When I go to Qiongzhou, I have time and money. Chen Shimei is still pretty cool. Although she is over 40 years old, she can still be said to be a charming man. Her level of picking up girls will definitely not be much worse than Ouyang Xiu.

In order to better attract those better girls, Chen Yuan must prepare those foundations to give himself a good reputation that is respectable, which is related to whether he can have the happiness he wants in the future.

Also, if you want to pick up girls safely in the future, you must find a suitable assistant to help you manage your business in Qiongzhou. This candidate is really important. On the surface, it is just a few workshops on the islands, but in fact, Chen Yuan wants to build those islands into indestructible bases in the Song Dynasty. This is destined to be insufficient to just use economic means, and he must also have a comprehensive ability to handle diplomacy, internal affairs, and even proficient in military affairs.

No one of Chen Yuan's subordinates now wants to go with him except Pang Xi and Han Qi, who is willing to go to Qiongzhou with him. Just as he and Renzong estimated at the beginning, once Chen Yuan told the news that he was leaving, his brothers immediately went to find their new ways.

It's not their fault. Everyone has their own ideals. Xia Sui and Wang Anshi want to be ministers who have been remembered forever. When Chen Yuan can help them realize their ideals, they will follow Chen Yuan. But if Chen Yuan asked them to go to Qiongzhou, they might not refuse, but then Chen Yuan will feel that he will owe them all his life and they will suffer.

Chen Shizhong didn't want to help Chen Yuan go to Qiongzhou to do business. After he confirmed that Chen Yuan was really planning to leave the position of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, his eyes immediately set on him.

As time went by, more and more businessmen gathered in Bianjing. Except for a few of the confidants from their homes who had traveled far away, they basically attended the meeting in person. For them, this election was not only related to who the next Chamber of Commerce president was, but whether the election system was fair or not was their most concerned thing.

A fair system is far more important than a good leader.

Chen Shizhong originally thought that fighting for that position was as simple as taking out something from his pocket. But what he didn't expect was that a very strong opponent showed his sharpness, which made him feel a little uneasy.

That opponent is Xu Ji. Really, not only Chen Shizhong did not expect this, but even Chen Shimei did not expect that Xu Ji had so many supporters in the Chamber of Commerce in a few years.

In fact, Xu Ji's development is a microcosm of the development of the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. Over the years, he has been helping Chen Shimei with some cultural affairs, and he has done quite well. Whether in terms of capital or reputation, he has earned his first pot of gold for his life.

Those new merchants with the literati-official colors like Hu Tongzong of Hejian Prefecture, who were more likely to accept Xu Ji. This also shows that the merchants of the Song Dynasty are entering a new stage. Now some merchants are wearing long gowns, holding folding fans in their hands, and keeping their hands on their hands. They can’t tell much of the difference between them and the literati.

When they were much easier to earn money than their ancestors, they began to care about their reputation. The previous behavior of using any means to do business was gradually rejected.

There is a contradiction between these businessmen and the traditional chambers of commerce that support Chen Shizhong. They have a sense of superiority in their hearts and are unwilling to let those guys covered in stinky stinky sit on their heads, although they are now pursuing stinky stinky.

On the other hand, Chen Shizhong and others were also quite disgusted with these guys' business methods. For example, take building a workshop as an example. From buying land, hiring workers, opening businesses, and various operations in the future, they may have to spend a lot of time and money on the government.

But Hu Tongzong is different. The traditional businessmen seem to be very difficult. They often get all the letters and a table of flower wine, which can ensure that there will definitely be no government officials coming to cause trouble in the future. This is simply an unfair competition in the eyes of traditional businessmen.

When Chen Yuan was still sitting in this position, they could accept Chen Yuan and tolerate each other. But who is the new chairman of the chamber of commerce, both sides should consider it carefully. The votes are in their own hands, that is, whether they can make their own side stronger is obviously the key to whether they can defeat their opponents and make their own side mainstream.

Chen Shizhong was really embarrassed. If it were others, his methods would have come out long ago, but Xu Ji was also his own person and was about to be Chen Yuan's son-in-law. The "degree" in it really made it difficult for him to grasp. He wanted to ask Chen Yuan a few words, but Chen Yuan insisted on his promise and would never interfere.

This made Chen Shizhong really depressed. He once thought that someone might compete with him if he wanted to get this position, but he could not guess that it would be Xu Ji in his dreams, and it was so amazing that it was leaking.

The election of the Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the biggest thing in Bianjing. Although the army is still preparing for war, the people are not very interested in that Arab. In their opinion, it has no direct relationship with them. Moreover, the long-term military war in the Song Dynasty also made them no longer feel new about the topic of war.

In contrast, who will be the next chairman of the chamber of commerce is really the most concerned topic after dinner. The working people think that the new president will come to power, should they add some wages to the workers or deduct some? This is directly related to whether there is any meat in their jobs.

The people were staring at each other, the merchants were watching, and the officials of the court also opened their eyes round, watching whether the election of the Chamber of Commerce could achieve the fairness and justice that Chen Yuan said.

This is destined that even without Chen Yuan’s relationship, Chen Shizhong would not dare to use some shameful means.

Of course, Xu Ji was not willing to miss the opportunity he got. Although it had not yet officially begun, Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji had already started a contest between the two sides on some occasions. After every businessman with votes came to Bianjing, both of them would come to visit him and strive to find support.

The two really felt that Chen Yuan had not helped them, but in the eyes of others, one was Chen Yuan's brother for many years, and the other was a person who was about to be Chen Yuan's son-in-law, which was somewhat suspicious of changing the soup and not changing the medicine.

Fan Zhongyan originally wanted to talk to Chen Yuan again because of this problem, but when he heard that Chen Yuan was already clearing the bank's assets and was about to let the court intervene, he calmed down and wanted to take a look. When he heard that Chen Yuan used all his assets to form five so-called foundations, Fan Zhongyan was really comforted.

Chen Yuan has done so much, and if he still keeps his eyes on the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he is obviously a bit too suspicious. After all, Chen Yuan’s promise to him was that anyone with a membership in the Chamber of Commerce could compete for this position as long as everyone elected.

Anyone, naturally, includes his son-in-law and brother.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Yuan did not interfere in the election. Chen Shizhong and Xu Ji were both elected by those businessmen. There is no reason to deprive them of their qualifications because of their relationship with Chen Yuan. This is also an unfairness.

So Fan Zhongyan felt that Chen Shimei could go on like this, as long as he really chose to leave the power center of the Song Dynasty in the end, it would be a good thing for him and the Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan could also feel at ease, and Bao Zheng thought he could rest assured.

However, Fan Chunyou is not as generous as Fan Zhongyan. In his opinion, Chen Shimei asked his brothers and son-in-law to come out to show everyone. He could use this attitude on the issue of the chamber of commerce and would also use some tricks on the issue of the bank.

This is how people are. Once they have prejudice against another person, it is wrong to see what the other party does. Regarding Chen Shimei’s recent so-called “foundations”, Fan Chunyou also believes that it was Chen Yuan’s move to win over people’s hearts in order to do something.

When he talked to Fan Zhongyan, he was scolded by Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan knew what Fan Chunyou was doing some time ago. He warned Fan Chunyou to stop immediately and not make some small moves when Chen Shimei was ready to retreat. Once Chen Shimei noticed something strange, then Chen Shimei's personality will definitely try her best to protect herself, and things may become very troublesome.

Fan Chunyou sat alone in the restaurant drinking a muffled wine. All he heard in his ears were the praises of the people for Chen Shimei. He was really unhappy. Some of the sadness that no one in our generation rose from the bottom of his heart. He drank two pots with his head down, and he felt a little drunk.

"Shopkeeper, I'll give me two pots of good wine immediately and cut some dishes to come up. I want to invite this young master to have a drink."
