The entire arrest plan was so dramatic from beginning to end that Chen Kan's personal guards were somewhat doubtful about life at the moment.
A rebellion that was about to sweep across Shandong was eliminated by them invisibly, and it felt a little unreal.
Not to mention Chen Kan's personal guards, Zhu Jihuang and Yun Ji also looked confused when they were taken aboard the treasure ship.
Their great cause was aborted before they even started?
It’s so frustrating.
Who knows?
When Chen Kan waited for someone to take the two of them onto the treasure ship, Zhu Yuelan and Yuncheng happened to return to the ship with the purchased supplies.
Zhu Yuelan's big eyes were full of confusion.
He looked at Zhu Jihuang, who was tied into a rice dumpling with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth, and then at Chen Kan, who looked complacent, and couldn't help but said suspiciously: "So, husband, you and two hundred people can pacify it within an hour." Did it lead to the rebellion of a feudal lord?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face faded.
This plot seems familiar.
It was very similar to a piece of news from later generations, which said that a certain person had enfeoffed civil and military ministers in the mountains, established a harem, and was preparing to lead people to attack the county town as the capital. However, before he could take action, he was put down by two policemen.
What happened today is so similar to the news of later generations.
"Is history really a cycle?"
Chen Kan couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then said fiercely: "This is the great success of counterinsurgency. Don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Yuelan's eyes widened and her mouth opened into an O shape.
After a moment, she nodded with difficulty: "Okay, this is the result of counterinsurgency."
Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction, then took out a pen and paper and started writing the memorial.
The memorial focused on describing how he was keenly aware of the dark clouds brewing in Dongchang City, how he took the lead, and how he was almost killed by a sneak attack by the enemy's hidden weapon.
But the final result was good. He led his men to fight fiercely with the enemy for a day and night, and finally brought Zhu Jihuang, the unstable factor of the Ming Dynasty, and Yun Ji, the remnant of the White Lotus Sect, to justice.
The eloquent memorial of thousands of words was written in one go.
"Zhang San, please go to the capital."
Chen Kan handed the memorial to Zhang San and gave instructions.
Zhang San hesitated and said: "Master Hou, what about the King of Jin and the enchantress of the White Lotus Sect?"
"Let His Majesty ask someone to come to the capital to pick him up. Do you want me to send him back in person?"
"My subordinates understand!"
Chen Kan glanced at the two people on the deck indifferently. He was about to arrive in Beijing, and he was in no mood to go back to the capital again.
"Let's go, let's set off."
The giant treasure ship briefly stayed in Dongchang for half a day, and set off again after Chen Kan led someone to steal a crystal.
As for the mess left in Shandong, Qin Si will naturally report it to the capital.
Chen Kan stopped joining in the fun.
...
Ten days passed by in a flash. During these ten days, Chen Kan had been thinking about how to come up with a set of questions that would allow Zhu Zhanhe to learn at least to the sixth grade of elementary school.
Finally, on the tenth day, Chen Kan handed Zhu Zhanhe a thick stack of exercises with red eyes.
Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi looked at the exercises in Zhu Zhanhe's hands curiously, their eyes full of curiosity that could not be concealed.
Chen Kan rubbed Zhu Zhanhe's little head: "This set of questions is tailor-made for you with great effort. Your foundation is not as good as your two senior brothers, but your perseverance is stronger than them. As the saying goes The meaning will emerge after you read it a hundred times, and the same goes for knowledge. If you do the same type of questions a hundred times, after encountering similar questions, you will naturally know where the ideas for solving the problem come from."
After listening to Chen Kan's chicken soup, Zhu Zhanhe's little face suddenly showed a solemn look, and he took over half a foot of practice questions from Chen Kan's hand as if he were treating a peerless treasure.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi stretching their necks and making their eyes pop out, Chen Kan scolded him angrily: "You don't need these things. What a teacher pays attention to is teaching students according to their aptitude. These things are only suitable for Xiaohe." People, but if you are interested, you can also borrow it from Xiao He, provided that he is willing to lend it to you."
Upon hearing this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Ever since Chen Kan taught them to the sixth grade level, they no longer paid attention to ordinary arithmetic questions or literature and history questions.
And Chen Kan has been reluctant to start the next stage of teaching.
The two of them were impatient people. How could they endure loneliness when Chen Kan delayed teaching them new knowledge.
So after Zhu Zhanhe took what Chen Kan gave him, he suddenly found two pairs of bright eyes staring at him.
Zhu Zhanhe suddenly sighed, with a grown-up expression on his face: "If you two senior brothers are interested, please come with me!"
"Teacher, let's go then."
"go Go!"
Chen Kan waved his hand and watched the three little guys go away, and began to make calculations in his mind.
Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi were both geniuses. Within a few months of following him, they were able to reach the level of sixth-grade primary school students in later generations, which is enough to prove their intelligence.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they had a good foundation before becoming apprentices.
However, Zhu Zhanhe's talent is indeed average. Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanji can already enter junior high school courses, and Zhu Zhanhe is only at the second grade level at most.
This is also the reason why Chen Kan has not carried out the next stage of teaching.
Now that we have three apprentices, we must treat them equally.
If nothing else goes wrong, Chen Kan should have only these three disciples in his life, and among the three disciples, Zhu Zhanji will definitely inherit the throne in the future.
Therefore, Chen Kan's future successor can only choose between Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanhe.
Then we must try our best to ensure that the learning progress of the three people is about the same. Whoever is faster and who is slower will easily lay hidden dangers in the future great battles.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Kan decided to postpone the next stage of teaching until Zhu Zhanhe caught up with the progress.
"Master Marquis, Zhuozhou has arrived!"
Just at this time, Yuncheng's voice also sounded in Chen Kan's ears, and he put these things behind him.
He stood up and stretched, and when he looked around, he saw a relatively neat little town coming into view.
"Zhuozhou!"
Looking at the small town in front of him, Chen Kan murmured to himself.
This was the starting point for the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also the back garden of the Yuan Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, it was also a place of great commercial prosperity.
Unfortunately, after the Ming Dynasty established Nanjing as its capital, a large number of people moved southward, and the frequency of using the canal decreased.
This city will inevitably decline.
When the treasure ship docked, Yuncheng asked: "Master Hou, should we take a rest in Zhuozhou, or should we set off directly to Beijing?"
Chen Kan stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. He seemed to look across Zhuozhou and saw the city of Beijing under construction in Daxing, and he was still a little excited.
"Go directly to Beijing!"
Chen Kan made a decision because he had already seen Fang Xu waving to him on the Zhuozhou Pier, and Cheng Feng, who said he was waiting for him in Datong Mansion, was also there.
Behind the two of them was a large group of idle men with short sticks tied around their waists. It must have been Fang Xu who had come to help with the move.
The moment he stepped off the treasure ship, Chen Kan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The scenery in the north is completely different from that in the south.
The south is a green landscape all year round, and among the dense water networks are small bridges and flowing water.
To the north is an endless wilderness as far as the eye can see.
The treasure ship is docked at Zhuozhou Pier, and across the canal are endless fields.
There are piles of haystacks scattered in the fields, just like soldiers' tents.
The summer grain has been harvested, and many people are working in the fields to replant autumn crops.
Looking at the boundless wilderness, it seems that the whole person's mind is much broader.
The sky was blue and the clouds were low. There was nothing wrong with it except that the air was a little dry.
"Master Marquis, when your Majesty was in charge of Beiping, he banned swords in Shuntian Prefecture. These rogue idlers could only use a short stick to fight hard, so these rogue idlers are also called stick men."
Yuncheng was educating Chen Kan about the identities of those behind Fang Xu and Cheng Feng.
Although it was his first time to come to Guanjia, he was still able to explain Beijing's customs and customs in a clear and logical manner.
This is the basic skill that a qualified housekeeper should master.
Chen Kan nodded, walked to an open space and quietly admired the majestic scenery in the north.
Yuncheng, on the other hand, has consciously stepped into the role and directed the idle men brought by Fang Xu and Cheng Feng around.
Fang Xu came to Chen Kan's side, cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, everything in Beijing is being renovated and there is no place for people to live in it, so my subordinates took it upon themselves to buy a large house with three rooms in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River."
Chen Kan patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you!"
Originally, Chen Kan never thought of living in the city.
Who really has status lives in the city?
Chen Kan can completely imagine what Beijing is like now.
Zhu Di was determined to build a replica of the Forbidden City in Nanjing in Beijing. If there were people in Beijing, there would be ghosts.
So what Fang Xu did was correct.
The whole family moved directly to the upper reaches of the Jinshui River, so that even if Zhu Di really moved the capital to Beijing in the future, he would only be able to drink Chen Kan's bath water downstream.
The north is not as densely covered with water networks as the south, and there are even fewer large rivers.
The Jinshui River is already one of the largest rivers in Beijing besides the moat. When Zhu Di moves the capital to Beijing, houses in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River will become a scarce resource.
Thinking of this, Chen Kan suddenly came up with a big plan to make a fortune.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he bought all the houses in the upper reaches of the Jinshui River. After Zhu Di moved the capital, just selling the houses would be enough for Chen Kan's descendants to live a wealthy life for another dozen generations.
Considering how wealthy the officials in Jiangnan are, it’s not too much for me to sell them a hundred taels of gold per square meter, right?
As he said, Chen Kan put his hand on Fang Xu's shoulder and asked, "Have you ever asked how much it costs to buy all the houses upstream of the Jinshui River?"
