Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: Recover Lost Ground (Monthly Pass)
Chen Kaizhi settled down with his mentor and was in a house next to his study. The scenery was beautiful and it was a peach forest. You could look at the Tianren Pavilion on Baiyun Peak opposite. You could see the sea of clouds and pick the stars above. You also invited a few old servants to take care of you.
When Chen Kaizhi was in Jinling, he was taught and cared for by Fang Zhengshan in his studies. He naturally respected this teacher. Now that his teacher is here, he hopes that his teacher can live a comfortable life.
But I met Xun Ya for a long time, so I don’t need to say much about the joy in my heart. Of course, Chen Kaizhi wanted to get along with Xun Ya more and talked about many of the words in his heart to Xun Ya.
After seven or eight days like this, someone sent another letter saying that it was from Beiyan.
Before Chen Kaizhi read the letter, he thought that the letter was mostly from the uncle, and it was probably about the junior sister. This uncle was worried enough about this junior sister.
However, it is also normal for human nature. After all, everyone has a headache for their parents, and it is normal for the uncle to worry about Fang Qin.
He sat down in the study and was about to open the letter, but he heard a gentle voice coming from outside: "Have my father sent me a letter? Let me see, let me see."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qin came in with a smile on his face.
Chen Kaizhi looked at her strangely. He had been with his mentor for most of the past few days and accompanied Xun Ya to walk around the mountain, allowing her half-maid to familiarize herself with the environment first, and neglected the little girl. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the little girl had figured out the mountain herself, and the news was very well-informed.
Thinking of the master’s explanation and the master’s words that elder brother is like a father, Chen Kaizhi couldn’t help but think that since it was her father’s letter, just read it. So he smiled and looked at Fang Qin and said, “Are you literate?”
"Why don't you know?" Fang Qin's pair of watery eyes turned slightly, and her elegant little face was smiling. She said weirdly: "Since I was a child, my father taught me to read. It doesn't matter whether I have learned much or not, but I still have to know how to read a simple book. Why? Because the most terrifying thing in the world is that people who have read books, if they don't read books and are sold, they will have to pay them a lot of money."
This theory is fresh. The most terrifying scholar that Master Wucai said is himself. Chen Kaizhi smiled in his heart, and the next moment he handed the letter to Fang Qin and said gently: "Then you give me your belief."
Fang Qin tore the letter, took out the note, and after unfolding it, she chanted: "Kai's nephew, I saw the letter as if I was in Beiyan, everything was fine, don't worry. Qin'er didn't know if she could go to Luoyang. If she didn't come again, she could order people to go to the village to search, be careful. If she arrived, this woman was virtuous and generous, she could teach her, read more books of the girl, and take care of her when she was staying in the boudoir."
When Fang Qin read this, her eyes couldn't help but blink, and she was a little impatient and shocked: "Dad is so long-winded."
"This is because your father cares about you, so it's not too long." Chen Kaizhi reminded Fang Qin like an elder.
Fang Qin looked at Chen Kaiyi's eyes with bright stars and said lightly: "I'm not a child, I can take care of myself."
This is because I don’t know how to be blessed. Chen Kaizhi sighed in his heart, and then urged him: “Okay, read me the next words.”
"Okay." Fang Qin cheered up again and said, "Now I am in Beiyan and chatting and laughing with His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday there was a news that Kuaima Dekai's governor Jibei..."
Chen Kai was stunned. In fact, he was thinking at first that his uncle said he would be bragging again if he talked and laughed with.
But later, Chen Kaizhi was a little shocked when he said that he had received the news from his governor Jibei.
No, Uncle Master is so well-versed in other people's places, and he really penetrated into the Beiyan people and lived in harmony with them?
Chen Kaizhi worked in Hanlin and knew very well about the affairs of various countries. For example, there are institutions that collect information from all countries, such as Da Chen's Mingjingsi. He would report some important figures and affairs of various countries on time.
As he and the Warriors Battalion have just made great contributions, the Northern Yan Kingdom should pay more attention to it, so he got the appointment here. After one or two days, a fast horse will send the news directly to Northern Yan, which is also normal.
But the problem is that not everyone can read these secret reports. Just like Mingjingsi’s report, there are no more than ten people in Dachen, but the uncle of the master can learn this news as soon as possible in Beiyan.
What does this mean?
This shows that in Beiyan, someone closest to the core of power told Uncle Shi about this.
The question is, why do people tell Uncle Master this news?
There is no need to do so unless... the uncle has a close relationship with this person.
Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt extremely terrified. If he dig deeply into this seemingly simple message, Chen Kaizhi's hair would stand up and his back would feel cold. This uncle was simply amazing. He seemed to have fooled the high-powered person again.
Fang Qin did not notice Chen Kaizhi's expression, but continued to recite: "Jibei is still in the hands of Beiyan, this is the place where the Great Chen Longxing is. Kaizhi is now a royal family..."
Even though he became a royal family, Chen Kaizhi touched his forehead. He knew that this was my talented uncle showing off his skills.
"If you can recover the land of Longxing now, it is a wonderful achievement and a great position to govern Jibei. Isn't it beautiful? I have good plans to cooperate with my nephew. If Kai is interested, you can immediately write to me."
"It's gone?" Hearing Fang Qin stop, Chen Kaizhi looked at Fang Qin in confusion.
Fang Qin smiled and looked at the contents behind: "Also, I have to write them down first."
Note...what do?
Fang Qin then said again: "Also: Uncle Master lives a difficult life and has no money. It is difficult to plan for Kaizhi in Beiyan. If Kaizhi wants his uncle to run for him, he needs to have 150,000 taels of silver. This is not for personal use. If the nephew agrees, he will count the 150,000 taels of silver and deposit it into my warehouse in Feiyu Peak. I deposit 1137,322 taels of silver, 19 calligraphy and paintings, 57 pairs of jade bi, and there are several treasures. If you deposit 150,000 taels of silver, that is, 1387,322 taels of silver, remember, be careful to seal it, and do not lose it."
Damn...
Chen Kaizhi was stunned.
This means that the uncle of the three prefectures in Jibei has a way, but he will give money.
150,000 taels of silver cannot be lost.
It seemed that he was also worried that Chen Kaizhi had stolen the silver from his warehouse in the mountains, so he reiterated his savings again, meaning that you, boy, don't have any idea.
It was 150,000 taels of silver. Fortunately, he could speak, and Chen Kaizhi was also drunk. But after thinking about it carefully, what a great contribution would be if the three prefectures of Jibei could recover it.
If things can really be accomplished, money is a trivial matter.
Chen Kaizhi has read the accounts and now he has this money in January. This time, Xun Ya comes to Beijing and settles down. He also hopes to take this opportunity to build up his business in Luoyang, and the profits will only get higher and higher in the future.
Just as Chen Kaizhi was instructing, Fang Qin suddenly gritted her teeth: "Dad actually has so much money, he didn't tell me."
Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized and looked at Fang Qin and said, "Hehe, okay, junior sister, you go and rest."
Fang Qin shook her head, blinked her watery eyes, and said, "Senior Brother, don't you want me to give you an idea?"
"What's the idea?" Chen Kaizhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Qin in confusion.
Fang Qin curled her lips and said, "Of course it's a price cut. Daddy is asking for a price everywhere. He said 150,000 taels, but it was a lion who spoke. Although I don't know if the three prefectures of Jibei are valuable, the price they offer will definitely make people feel very painful with Daddy's character. If the senior brother believes me, he will directly tell him 50,000 taels of silver. When he is sure to reply, he will say a few words of sadness and scold you for being ungrateful, but in the end, he will agree to the 50,000 taels of silver for sale."
Chen Kaizhi was confused. This is a fucking thing, the whole family is all tricks. He couldn't help but ask: "Why did you see that Uncle Master will agree?"
Fang Qin said confidently: "You don't know your father's character. Not to mention 50,000 taels of silver, there is a copper coin on the ground. If he doesn't pick it up, he will have to toss and turn at night and can't sleep."
Chen Kaizhi nodded, yes, this is the truth.
It seems that Fang Qin knows her father very well, but what is Fang Qin going to do now?
So Chen Kaizhi held his cheek with his hands and looked at Fang Qin with confusion, "Are you going to cheat me?"
Fang Qin relied on Chen Kaizhi's scrutiny gaze, but said very calmly: "Now he wants to sell, but the buyer is only you. You are his nephew and the governor of Jibei. Who else can buy it besides you? Therefore, if you refuse, he will not say 150,000 taels of silver, even 50,000 taels of silver will disappear. So he can only face two situations. One is that he can't get any of them, and the other is that he gets 50,000 taels of silver to comfort him. Think about it, can Daddy disagree? So when you write a book, he is willing to nod in tears."
Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath and knew that he was better than a daughter. He was convinced.
The explanation of Fang Qin in the classics seems to work, but the question is, why is Fang Qin so kind?
Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sit upright, looked at Fang Qin very seriously, and said in confusion: "Junior sister said it very well, but why do you want to help your senior brother?"
There was a bit of coldness in his voice and a bit of doubt.
"Because I like Senior Brother." Fang Qin did not seem to mind Chen Kaizhi's cold attitude. Her watery eyes were full of smiles. The next moment she said sweetly to Chen Kaizhi: "Senior Brother is a good person."
