Chapter 98 Can’t take it back(1/2)

"Hey, She Dengke, what are you going to do if you have money?" Liu Quxing sat on the edge of the stone mill table, and asked vaguely while eating the burrito brought by his master.

"Of course I'm going to buy a house for my family first. I want to buy a two-in-one yard, where my father and my mother, my elder brother and sister-in-law live in the yard in the front, and my second brother and sister-in-law, and my third brother and sister-in-law live in the yard in front. They have worked so hard over the years that the whole family is crowded in a room to build a floor, and it's not easy to turn over."

"Where are you, where do you live?"

She Dengke stuffed the last burrito in his hand into his mouth: "I live in a clinic, I don't have to leave a house for me at home... Liu Quxing, what are you planning to do if you have money?"

Liu Quxing thought for a while and said, "I want to pick my mother out of the Liu family so that she doesn't have to look at the mistress's eyes anymore. Every time she comes to give me money and food, she will be rolled at me when she comes home, and there is also a ridicule."

"It's great to have money," She Dengke lowered his head and said, "Money is like an old god, who can help people realize their dreams."

Liu Quxing suddenly asked, "When you have money, do you still have to be an apprentice in the clinic?"

She Dengke was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Yes, can you still be an apprentice when you have money..."

With a snap.

The bamboo strips fell on She Dengke's back, and it hurt so much.

She Dengke turned around and saw that Old Man Yao had walked to him at some point. He glared at Liu Quxing: "Suncle, you dug a hole for me again!"

Old man Yao sneered at the two of them: "Okay, if you have money, don't be an apprentice in my Taiping Hospital, right?"

Liu Quxing hurriedly jumped off the stone mill and smiled flatteringly: "Master, that's what She Dengke said, it has nothing to do with me. I must learn medical skills from you in the clinic and be respected like you in the future!"

Old man Yao sarcastically said, "Why do you have to come to my Taiping Medical Center to suffer?"

She Dengke panicked and said, "Master, don't get me wrong. We will definitely stay in the clinic to serve you. We have remembered all the good things you have treated us in the past two years."

At this time, Liang Gou'er was lying on the straw mat not far away, holding a grass stem in his mouth, shaking his legs: "Five thousand taels of silver, how do you plan to divide it? Haha, many brothers have turned against each other throughout the ages, not because of sharing hardships, but because of sharing wealth and honor."

Liang Maoer raised his hand: "I'm here to help me, I can ignore it."

Liang Gou'er sat up suddenly and said with a grudge: "Apart from Chen Ji, you have worked the most in the past few days. Why don't you tell me?"

Liang Maoer glanced at him: "Brother, don't talk for now, you won't have any share."

Liang Gouer: "..."

He opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he simply leaned back and covered his straw hat on his face. His legs crossed were shaking faster than anyone else.

Everyone gradually calmed down and looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

How should we divide the 5,000 taels of silver? Equal division is a good way, but everyone knows that equal division is unfair to Chen Ji.

In this silence, Bai Li wanted to step forward and speak, but King Jing reached out and pulled it aside.

He looked at the group of young men with interest: "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Only in front of real interests can you see a person clearly. Don't talk, let's see if you, your friends, can stand the test."

Bai Li hesitated for a moment and whispered: "But why test human nature? This is unfair to the tested people."

King Jing was stunned and then smiled and said, "Silly child, there is no fairness in this world. You have to learn to protect yourself."

After speaking, a carriage slowly stopped outside the kiln factory.

But Zhang Zhuo lifted the curtain, took his official robe and jumped down. After landing, he didn't forget to turn around and support Chen Liqin, and then he strided into the kiln factory together.

The two of them came to King Jing, and Zhang Zhuo bowed: "Prince..."

King Jing raised his hand to stop him: "Don't disturb them first, let's see how they share money. Spending money between brothers has always been a good show. You two came at the right time, and they happened to catch up."

Zhang Zhuo was surprised: "Die? What is the money you divided?"

King Jing smiled and said, "I will explain it to you later. By the way, Lord Chen, Chen Ji is also among them."

At this time, Zhang Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully separated everyone in the crowd. He pulled Chen Liqin aside and asked in a low voice: "Hey, why is your kid here too?"

Chen Liqin hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I knew he was here yesterday and came to pick him up, but he didn't go with me."

Zhang Zhuo said unexpectedly: "This child is so arrogant. He would rather come to the kiln factory to do heavy work than go back to Chen's mansion with you?"

Chen Liqin sighed, "It was my father's fault before. After he went to Taiping Medical Center, I asked the housekeeper to send his servant to give him monthly silver. How could he think that the servant secretly deducted the three taels of silver per month to three hundred yuan per month. Later, he simply delayed the delay. I guess he wanted to earn some learning silver for himself when he came to the kiln factory?"

Zhang Zhuo looked at Chen Liqin and said, "Mr. Chen, what will happen to the servant?"

Chen Liqin replied: "I have been killed by a stick."

Zhang Zhuo stroked his beard and asked again, "Where is the butler? Have you died of a stick?"

Chen Liqin shook his head: "No, I will punish you with a little punishment."

Zhang Zhuo smiled meaningfully: "Your kid is more resilient than my kid. He would rather endure hardships than go back and get angry. I believe that lingering in the gambling house was also harmed by his friends? Listen to my advice, you should give your kid two hundred taels of silver to suppress his panic, and then vent your stupid housekeeper's stick to kill him, so that he can be brought back."

"Destroy the butler?" Chen Liqin looked at Zhang Zhuo in surprise: "Why is this? This butler is also an old man in the mansion I brought from the capital. He has worked diligently for more than ten years, and he has worked hard without any credit."

Zhang Zhuo was happy: "When the late emperor was there, did General Hu Guang's contributions be great enough? He recovered Chongli Pass and blocked the Iron Cavalry of Jing Chao for more than ten years. He made great contributions so much that he dared to hold military power and roar the court. What was the end? The late emperor first promoted Liu Wencheng to the minister of the Ministry of War into the cabinet, and then allowed Liu Ge Lao to cut off General Hu Guang's wings and confiscate General Hu's home and exterminated the clan. When Liu Ge Lao was scolded by everyone as a traitor, the late emperor demoted Liu Ge Lao back to his hometown and was immediately praised as a wise king."

Chen Liqin's face changed: "Sir, be careful!"

Zhang Zhuo smiled happily and said confidently: "You are a gentleman. You will never go to the eunuch party to sue me for the wrongdoing, but you are too pedantic."

Chen Liqin was said to be pedantic and felt unhappy, and he said in a tone: "Mr. Zhang is not like a scholar, but more like a villain."

Zhang Zhuo bowed his hand and said without caring: "Excessive award."

The wind is cold.

Liu Quxing and others were frozen red, but they didn't realize it. They shut up and thought about how to divide the five thousand taels of silver.

Everyone, I will look at you, look at me, no one wants to speak first.

Chen Ji spoke in silence. He looked at Liu Quxing and others and said with a smile: "I will not give in to you. I will take 30% of this silver every year, and you will share the rest."

Take 30%?

Zhang Zhuo subconsciously looked at Chen Liqin. He counted. There were six or seven people in the field. The Chen boy spoke and wanted to divide 30% of the remaining people. Then how should he divide the remaining people?

Chen Liqin frowned, and he bowed to Prince Jing and said, "Your Majesty, you are not good at teaching your children. In the future, you will definitely take them back to the house to strictly discipline them and teach him humility and courtesy."

"Ha," King Jing smiled loudly: "Mr. Chen, don't be anxious, you don't even need to share the money. Why are you anxious?"

Chen Liqin was stunned.

The next moment, She Dengke heard the sound of her voice in silence: "No!"

The kiln factory calmed down again, and Chen Liqin frowned and looked, fearing that Chen Ji would fight with others because of sharing money, which would be a disgrace to his courtesy.

However, She Dengke suddenly said, "Chen Ji, we all know that without you, we wouldn't have such money. Although we have worked hard, we have only been frozen for two days and worked for two days. You can still do this kind of work by spending a few taels of silver to find a bar in the East City. You can just leave half of it, and we will share the rest. Liu Quxing, what do you think?"

Liu Quxing's face turned dark: "What do you think I'm doing? It seems to make me greedy for money!"

She Dengke asked, "Do you say you agree or not!"

Liu Quxing gritted his teeth and said, "Agree! Agree! You big fool, he said he had divided 30% of the money. Can't you just respond? Do you know how much it costs to divide 20% of the money?"

She Dengke glared: "Your grandson finally said everything in your heart!"

The prince laughed: "Okay, okay, if everyone is kept in his heart, he will be sulked after a long time. Now he is talking about his heart and is open-minded. To be honest, even I am greedy for this money. Don't let Bai Li treat him tonight. Chen Ji must treat him. The best private room in Yingxian Building, just order their most famous Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. If Chen Ji dares to frown, we will beat him up!"

Liu Quxing said heartbrokenly: "Yes, he has received so much money. You must dare to frown when treating him, so let's beat him up!"

Chen Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, never frown. The little monk holds the money ring and cannot touch money. The remaining princes, Princess Baili, Brother Maoer, Senior Brother She, and Senior Brother Liu, you five will be evenly divided."

The little monk folded his hands together and asked curiously: "Will we go to Hongyi Lane after dinner?"

Everyone laughed: "You flower monk!"

...

...

Bai Li smiled and looked at King Jing: "Didn't fight as you wish!"

King Jing regretted: "I thought I could see a good show, but I had a innocent heart, which was rare. I just hoped that the innocent heart would not be called to the human world to be refined into black."

At this time, Zhang Zhuo and Chen Liqin gradually realized something was wrong.

They thought they were dividing the wages of this bitter kiln, but if it was just the wages, how could they afford Yingxianlou and Hongyi Lane?

Zhang Zhuo looked at Prince Jing and asked in confusion: "Prince, how much are they sharing?"

King Jing smiled and explained: "Five thousand taels of silver per year."

Zhang Zhuo subconsciously took a breath of air: "So, the Chen boy took two thousand five hundred taels of silver alone?"

King Jing nodded: "That's right."

Zhang Zhu looked at Chen Liqin slowly: "Mr. Chen, you may not be able to take your kid back.

Chen Liqin remained silent.

Zhang Zhuo continued: "Your Chen family's annual expenses are probably not as high as his 2,500 taels of silver per year. He lives outside, which is much more comfortable than in your Chen family. I thought I didn't say anything before, and I couldn't use money to take him back. I'm afraid I know it with emotion and reason..."

Chen Liqin ignored him and just took a step forward and said in confusion: "Prince, five thousand taels of silver are huge money, where did it come from?"

King Jing led the two to the brick wall and asked them to beat them with sledgehammers: "They developed this thing called "cement", which solidified several times faster than glutinous rice mortar, and the cost was only 20% of the glutinous rice mortar. My palace has bought the recipe for this product and promised to share their dividends of 5,000 taels of silver every year. How about it, do you think this recipe is worth it?"

Zhang Zhuo's eyes burst out with gleam. He rubbed a little cement and asked, "The cost is only 20% of the glutinous rice mortar, and it solidifies faster than the glutinous rice mortar? It's worth it! Prince, do you think this thing was made by those young men?"

King Jing nodded: "That's right, the recipe was thought out by Chen Ji, and they made it together."

Zhang Zhuo suddenly realized: "No wonder when everyone was sharing the money, he said he had divided 30% of the money, but the others asked him to divide 50% of the money. It turned out that he made this thing."

Chen Liqin recalled that yesterday, Chen Ji told King Jing what "carburized steel" technique, and King Jing also stopped him and prevented him from taking Chen Ji back to his house...
