"No, it's too late. Now Peter has become suspicious. If he notices our actions, he will immediately ask for reinforcements from their country. By then it will be difficult for us to fight again. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
Since it was imperative, Xiao Chen had to make a prompt decision.
"Don't you kid... fall into someone else's beauty trap, I tell you!" Chen Jisheng warned Xiao Chen solemnly.
"Old man, aren't you looking down on me?" Xiao Chen said that he is not that kind of person, "But if a beautiful woman insists on throwing herself into her arms, I can't refuse. This is also to enhance the friendship between the two parties...Okay, okay, No joke, look what I brought you, old man?"
What Xiao Chen took out was a stack of official appointment documents covered with Li Wanjiang's jade seal.
The first one was for Chen Jisheng, who was given the title of Second Grade Minister of Rites, but he was not appointed to any actual duties.
Because Li Wanjiang once said that he would never hire Chen Jisheng, the emperor's golden words must not be changed.
"Haha, in my opinion, this thing is nothing more than a piece of paper!" Chen Jisheng picked it up, glanced at it, and threw it on the table.
"Old man, you are disrespectful to the emperor. No wonder the emperor doesn't like you... Chengxu, the emperor made you the magistrate of Yanbei Prefecture, with a fourth-grade title. Are you grateful for God's grace?" Xiao Chen Handed a piece of paper to Wen Chengxu.
"Then I will thank the Lord for your kindness?" Wen Chengxu did not kneel down to the south. He took it and took a look. He couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, I am a small scholar. I never thought that I could do this in my life." The fourth-grade high-ranking official is happy in his heart, but he also feels that it is nothing more than that..."
Liu Congshu had the highest position. He was the third-rank Minister of Rites and the governor of Changshan Prefecture. He was considered to be particularly well-matched. However, he was not very excited. He glanced at him and just smiled, "Then I also thank the Lord for your kindness."
Ye Baiqing is the fifth-rank staff officer, and Liu Mofeng is the fifth-rank punishment hall in Changshan Prefecture... They are both official documents of the Ministry of Personnel, and each of them has been promoted several levels.
But they are all civil servants, and there are no rewards for military attachés.
"Boss, you value culture over military affairs. How come our brothers don't even get a decent official position?" Wei Yuntian waited eagerly for a long time, but there was no reward of his own?
What are you doing?
"Yes, Zhu Xiaochuan and Lu Jing both came to me and said that they would transfer Xiaosheng, Lin Yue, Zhong Lin, and your boy back to serve. I guarantee that you will be promoted to several levels...I said I would come back and ask your opinions, so what? Do you want to go back? I guarantee that you will flourish." Xiao Chen said.
"Damn it!" Wei Yuntian was startled, "Let's forget it. It would be good for me to be a captain here."
There is also a bunch of imperial edicts, but they are for Wanyan Pingqiu, Uluolan and others. Uluolan is directly promoted to Queen Mojie, Huyanlei is Prince Helan, Buhe is King Xianhe, Gai He It's King Wuhuan...
But Wanyan Pingqiu had two wishes, one was to make him Prince Mojie, and the other was to make him King Mojiu.
"Neither of these two wills can be given to him." Dugulou said, "Either one of them will kill him."
"Han Zhong, this is not because I want to harm him, but because I promised him back then..." Xiao Chen just fulfilled his promise.
"I know." Dugulou nodded, "He will definitely be very happy to see you, but I and his brothers may not be so."
"I think there will always be a chance for him in the future." Xiao Chen said.
"I hope so." Dugulou sighed.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and others who didn't get the official position didn't care, and Wen Chengxu and the others who got the reward didn't care either. Xiao Chen's hard work was really in vain.
But they don't care, but the formally appointed magistrates below will definitely be overjoyed! Xiao Chen will leave this favor to Chen Jisheng. Anyway, they are all under your old man's control.
In fact, all the government affairs in Yanyun County are now managed by Chen Jisheng, and he is the real Governor of Yanyun. If Xiao Chen had been pointed at, Yanyun County would have been in chaos, and Xiao Chen himself would have been in a state of distress...
Yanyun County affairs have an old prime minister, everything is in order, and Xiao Chen doesn't need to worry about it at all.
As for military affairs, with Prime Minister Zhuge Xiaosheng, Xiao Chen didn't have to worry too much. He only had to take care of the overall situation. In addition, he also took care of the economy.
It was as if he was responsible for all the newly built factories. Chen Jisheng didn't care at all. It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of them, but he didn't know how to take care of them?
Tannery, shipyard, arsenal, steel factory, etc., Chen Jisheng at least knew what they were doing. Although he felt that Xiao Chen was a bit eager for quick success, it was understandable, but what the hell were canneries and sugar factories?
Xiao Chen said that the sugar factory will produce milk candies, fruit candies, gummies and other candy products in the future. Chen Jisheng can roughly imagine what they are, but what is a can?
Chen Jisheng said that my old man has lived for more than sixty years and has never heard of it!
Anyway, you can do whatever you want. I don't want to care about you, but you can open a factory. I don't have any money!
The five million taels of silver you brought back this time are all public funds. They are all urgently needed by me. You can't even think of misappropriating even one tael!
In other words, these factories are actually Xiao Chen's personal property now, and all the funds invested were paid by Xiao Chen himself.
Now you know why he spent his money like water, so that when he left, he had less than one hundred thousand taels left...
But Xiao Chen, don't look at him spending money lavishly, but he really has the ability to make money!
Technically gold.
It was given to him by my dear brother Ullmann. Several tons were transported from the palace, and more than ten tons were stripped from the golden battleship. The total amount was hundreds of thousands of taels, which was how much in silver. One million taels.
Because there were no weighing points, they were all shipped directly to the small vault behind Xiao Chen's house, so he himself couldn't figure out the exact number. Anyway, it was a huge number...
This doesn't count other gold and silver jewelry, and it doesn't count the dozen Dragon Spirit Beads?
Xiao Chen has already made a fortune, but he paid for it with his own life. How dangerous is it to be in Java?
Xiao Chen was a thief this time. He fired Liu Xiangqin, a little spy who liked to inform Chen Jisheng, and appointed Xu Wenzhou as the chief steward of his Governor's Mansion, and also his financial manager.
Liu Xiangqin is still very dissatisfied with this. Brother Xiao, when you were poor, you asked me to work hard and wholeheartedly to help you save money. Now that you have so much gold, is it reasonable to fire me?
You haven’t given me your salary yet!
Xiao Chen said you leaked the governor's financial situation and I haven't settled the accounts with you yet!
I no longer trust you. Now, I even suspect that you once stole my money for the old man and Liu Congshu and the others, which caused my finances to almost go into deficit for a time... For the sake of us being brothers and sisters, I will not share this account with you. never mind.
In fact, Xiao Chen was afraid that Liu Xiangqin would be exhausted. She had already taken care of enough things, and now he added a ticket number. If she was still asked to help him manage his money, sooner or later this girl would get sick from exhaustion!
