Seeing He Jingyun fall into silence, Chen Changhe also understood that his words moved Yuan Song, and immediately spoke again:
"If my prediction is correct, then this time the commander-in-chief will be accompanied by a general who will lead the army during his southern tour... "
As soon as these words came out, He Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and said:
"You mean the commander-in-chief will take my military power?"
Facing He Jingyun's question, Chen Changhe did not speak, but nodded seriously in response to He Jingyun's gaze.
Seeing Chen Changhe nodding, He Jingyun also fell down on his seat in despair. Although He Jingyun personally did not want to believe that Ye Mingsheng would be so ruthless and turned his back on others, but based on his understanding of Ye Mingsheng over the years, He Jingyun knew that Ye Mingsheng Mingsheng is completely capable of doing such a thing!
Just when He Jingyun was a little hesitant and helpless, Chen Changhe said:
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower, which can solve the general's current predicament!"
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in He Jingyun's eyes and he said without thinking:
"Master Chen, come quickly!"
Chen Changhe said in a deep voice:
"The best idea is for the commander to dedicate all the wealth received to the commander-in-chief!"
"Currently, the world has been settled. Guanzhong, Yongliang, Huainan, Sichuan, Shu, Jingchu and other places are all in dire straits waiting to be revitalized. In order to restore vitality to various places as soon as possible, Ye Mingsheng has issued orders to exempt many places from taxes! "
"Although this order is a policy that benefits the country and the people, it also puts most of the imperial finances on the four provinces of Liaoyang, Hebei and Henan, Qilu, and Youyan. Even though the commander-in-chief issued an order to reduce expenditures, the imperial government's The financial pressure is also very great····························
"Therefore, the core purpose of the commander-in-chief's southern tour is nothing more than three words - making money!"
"Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world, and has always been the financial backbone of the imperial court. Therefore, such a place needs a highly respected and reliable person to guard it, and you, General, are the most suitable candidate for this position!"
"General, if you can donate all your money to the commander-in-chief and show restraint in the future, I think there is a high probability that you will be forgiven by the commander-in-chief!"
After saying that, Chen Changhe also looked at He Jingyun with some hope, hoping that the general would find his way back. However, He Jingyun's expression changed and he said with some self-deprecation:
"Master Chen, what you said is very good, but you don't understand our Marshal Ye. Your best policy may be effective on others, but if it is used on him, I will definitely be escorted to Beijing. !」
Chen Changhe wanted to say something after hearing this, but He Jingyun waved his hand and said:
"Tell me about the right strategy!"
Seeing this, Chen Changhe continued to preach:
"The middle strategy is to bribe Zhu Chen and some of the civil servants in Jiangnan, and ask them to write to the commander-in-chief to praise you, General, for your achievements in Jiangnan. At the same time, you must also bribe the people around the commander-in-chief and ask them to speak good words for you, General. In this way It will definitely affect the commander's judgment..."
When He Jingyun heard this, his eyes were slightly thoughtful, and then he continued to ask:
"What's the next step?"
"Create chaos and raise the bandits to respect themselves!"
As soon as these eight words came out, He Jingyun fell into silence again. He did not expect that in Chen Changhe's view, he had fallen into a situation where he needed to support the bandits and respect himself!
Seeing that He Jingyun seemed to be having trouble making a decision, Chen Changhe said in a deep voice:
"Sir General, please forgive me. When you have to make a decision, you must make a decision without being disturbed. If you continue to make a decision, you will suffer. I personally recommend that you choose the best strategy. The top strategy is the safest. If the middle and lower strategies are not used well, , but your life will be in danger!"
Chen Changhe's words hit He Jingyun's heart like a fist. For a moment, He Jingyun didn't have a good idea in mind. After hesitating for a while, he could only speak:
"This matter is important, let me think about it carefully!"
Seeing He Jingyun's hesitant look, Chen Changhe felt very helpless. However, as the master's staff, he had said everything he should say and what he shouldn't. Now let's look at He Jingyun's own destiny. Immediately he bowed and resigned!
Although Chen Changhe left, his words made He Jingyun no longer interested in having fun. He leaned on his seat and his expression kept changing as he thought about it!
After a while, He Jingyun finally made a decision, immediately stood up and returned to the study, and began to write furiously...
······························

Yi Jing, Chen Kee Tea House
"Next, we master and apprentice will perform a performance for you adults, including steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, Songhua tripe, dried meat, sausage, smoked chicken tripe·························
Ye Mingsheng drank tea with a relaxed expression while watching the master and apprentice pair on the stage talking about cross talk. Although Ye Mingsheng felt that the cross talk between the master and apprentice was not particularly good and some of the baggage was not particularly funny, he listened to the people around him talking about it. After a wave of laughter, Ye Mingsheng relaxed!
Due to various reasons during this period, Ye Mingsheng's nerves have been in a state of tension, so Ye Mingsheng also decided to visit privately incognito and go out for a walk to relax!
However, this private interview was different from before. Ye Mingsheng also brought a bottle of oil with him this time!
"Dad, the cross talk between these two people is so funny. Can you please let them go back to the house and say something to their mother and grandmother? Especially my mother, she hasn't been happy for a while!"
While picking up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and putting it into his mouth, Jingren thought about Ye Mingsheng and asked:
An hour ago, Jingren heard from somewhere that Ye Mingsheng was going to have a private visit in private, so he pestered Ye Mingsheng to take him out to play. He told Ye Mingsheng that the last time he left Ye Mansion was almost a year ago. Something happened, he really wanted to go out and see what the world outside Ye Mansion was like!
Hearing what Jingren said was very pitiful, and Gu Sansi said a few days ago that Jingren was studying well during this period, so Ye Mingsheng felt soft-hearted and took him with him... ·············
Seeing that most of the plate of osmanthus cake went into Jingren's mouth, Ye Mingsheng said curiously:
"Don't your mother usually give you cakes?"
Facing his father's inquiry, Jingren looked at the empty plate and said with some embarrassment:
"I used to give it to me, but then Dr. Wang from the medical school told my mother that pastries and sweets are not good things. Eating too much will not only gain weight but also make me sick, so my mother stopped giving it to me!"
Ye Mingsheng raised his head slightly and said:
"Your mother is right. These pastries and sweets are indeed not a good thing. Don't eat too much while you are still growing!"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's teachings, Jingren nodded with some vague understanding. Seeing Jingren's confused look, Ye Mingsheng seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Jingren:
"Jingren, what do you think Yi Jing is like?"
When Jingren heard this, he said without thinking and very proudly:
"Under your rule, Yijing is the most prosperous city in the entire Zhou Dynasty and even in all directions. It is a dream place for everyone in the world!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this and then asked:
"Did your master teach you this?"
Jingren shook his head and said:
"Master never taught me this!"
"Then who taught you to say that?"
Jingren seemed to feel something from Ye Mingsheng's words, and he hesitated a little when facing Ye Mingsheng's questioning. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also had the answer in his heart and immediately stopped asking.
Go down...
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng warned Jingren:
"Jingren, there are things dad tells you that you have to make others believe and believe, but you must not believe them in your own heart!"
"It's like those scholars taking part in the imperial examination. They all say they are serving the country and the people, but in fact only they know what they are thinking!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, the young Jingren seemed to be unable to understand Ye Mingsheng's words, and his expression looked very confused.
But Ye Mingsheng didn't explain it to him. After all, you have to understand this kind of thing on your own. Jingren is still young, so he only needs to have this concept in his mind. He then touched Jingren's head and asked with a smile:
"Jingren, do you want to see what the real Yi Jing looks like?"
Jingren, who was thinking about it, immediately nodded expectantly when he heard this. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng didn't say much. He just got up and walked out of the door with Jingren. Ye Kui beside him also took out a piece of silver and threw it away. At the tea table, he paid for Ye Mingsheng’s tea!
Ye Mingsheng, who was leaving the teahouse with Jingren at this time, did not know that in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, a girl with a delicate face and a budding face was looking at his leaving figure with a complicated expression. When she saw Ye Mingsheng walking out of the teahouse , the girl also slowly closed her eyes.
Seeing his young lady acting like this, the maid waiting on the side asked with some confusion:
"Miss, weren't you expecting him to come? Why is he here now..."
Chen Xiangling shook her head bitterly and said:
"You don't understand, there's a huge difference between me and him. Since he's aliased as Ye Dong, he naturally doesn't want others to know his identity. If I reveal it, then he probably won't come here in the future!"
The maid on the side couldn't help but continue after hearing this:
"But Miss, you can't do this!"
"Maybe it's the best way, but it's not the best way! We just interacted by chance. After all, we are not from the same world!"
Ye Mingsheng, who still didn't know that he had inadvertently formed a bad relationship, brought his son Jingren to the Changchun Garden market. The current Changchun Garden market is larger than the last time Ye Mingsheng came, and the vendors There are more people, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going. It can be said to be the largest market in Yijing!
Looking at the bustling Changchunyuan Market in front of him, full of market atmosphere, Jingren seemed to be dazzled for a moment, looking left and right, and even didn't know what to look at!
As the eldest son of Ye Mingsheng, Jingren was born into a noble status, not to mention rich clothing and food. His grandmother, mother, and even some ministers all placed a lot of expectations on him, but it was also because of this that Jingren It is also like a canary, trapped in the exquisite and gorgeous cage of Ye Mansion...
You can count the number of times you have left Ye Mansion from birth to now on two hands, and coming to the market like this is the first time in Jingren's life!
After looking around, a group of people on the east side of Changchunyuan Market caught Jingren's attention, and he immediately asked Ye Mingsheng:
"Dad, what do those people do? What are the signs they are holding?"
Ye Mingsheng glanced at this and introduced to Jingren:
"Those are the working people of Yijing! Some of them are laborers, some are carpenters, and some are bricklayers. The signs in their hands describe their types of work, so that they can get work in the market!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Mingsheng asked Jingren:
"Jingren, do you want to know? How much money do they earn?"
Jingren nodded expectantly. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng led Jingren over. Because Ye Mingsheng and his party were well-dressed, they looked like wealthy patrons. Therefore, when they saw the arrival of Ye Mingsheng and his party, they immediately Several workers gathered around and introduced their identities to Ye Mingsheng...
"This old
Master, I am a laborer and have a lot of strength. If you have any laborious work, leave it to me. I guarantee that it will be done quickly and well! "
"Sir, I have been a carpenter for twenty years. Don't worry if you leave it to me to build a house, make furniture, and repair the furniture!"
"I'm a mason. I'm the best at building and decorating houses, and I'm cheap!"
Listening to the crowd's chaotic voices, Ye Mingsheng held Jingren's hand and began to ask about the price.
"I have an old house that needs to be renovated and I need you workers. It will take about a month. How much money do you need?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, the carpenter took the lead and said:
"If you provide food and accommodation, I can give you two taels of silver a month! Don't worry, I'll work the hardest, and I won't cheat on women. It's a good idea to leave the carpentry work to me!"
"If food and accommodation are not included, it will cost five taels of silver. Prices in Yijing are too high. Even the worst place to sleep in Datongbu costs five taels of silver a month. It is simply unbearable."
Hearing what the carpenter said, the laborer hesitated and said:
"If it includes food and accommodation, I only need one tael of silver a month!"
The mason also said immediately:
"We masons are skilled workers like carpenters. If we cover food and accommodation, we need at least two taels of silver a month..."
