Seeing Zhang Dong walking away, Chen Kan reviewed the review again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he stood up and walked out of the study.
When they reach the status of Chen Kan and Qiu Fu, how to compete for interests and how to compete for their own interests is all technical work.
Although they don't have to show up, they can control every detail without making any mistakes.
Otherwise, once the opponent finds a loophole, it will be an irreversible end.
This is why Chen Kan insisted on getting this confidant to make a trip in person when it was just a letter.
After walking out of the study, Chen Kan remembered that Yuncheng seemed to have reported another thing.
Zhu Zhanji actually left the capital with his two junior brothers.
On the way to Beijing.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan asked someone to call Yuncheng over.
Zhu Zhanji is now the emperor's grandson and Zhu Di's personal successor. As long as Zhu Di dies and Zhu Gaochi ascends the throne, he will be the undisputed crown prince.
This means that every move he makes represents the royal attitude.
And such a big thing as suddenly leaving the capital must not be due to nonsense or a whim.
Since it wasn't a whim, it had an ulterior motive.
Soon, Chen Kan came to a conclusion.
That means Zhu Di is very likely to come to the capital.
In the summer of that year, Qiu Fu had already come to give Zhu Di a head start. Now that the emperor's grandson has also gone north to Beijing, will it be long before Zhu Di arrives in Beijing?
Chen Kan met Yuncheng in the atrium.
"You said Zhu Zhanji took Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanhe north, where are they now?"
Yuncheng bowed and replied: "Back to Lord Marquis, when I learned the news, your two highnesses and Hua Shi had already diverted to the canal. They should have crossed the Huaihe River by now."
Chen Kan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Then he stopped and said to Yuncheng: "Send someone to protect their safety. In addition, the money in the treasury should also be spent."
Yuncheng was stunned, looked at Chen Kan with some confusion, and asked, "What does the Marquis mean?"
Chen Kan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I remember that there are many idle houses on the bank of Jinshui River. You can take people to take inventory of the treasury to see if these houses can be bought. In addition, I remember that there are many unused houses on the bank of Jinshui River. There are still a lot of vacant lots, go talk to Zhang Guan and buy what you can."
Hearing this, Yun Cheng's face became more confused, and he couldn't help but ask aloud: "Master Hou, are they all?"
"all!"
Chen Kan gave up without caring, and Yuncheng didn't ask any more questions.
All the money in the family was earned by the Marquis. As a housekeeper, he would of course obey the Marquis's orders.
When Yuncheng took the order and left, Chen Kan couldn't help but chuckle.
Chen Kan has always been a very greedy person.
He wants power, and he also wants money.
Money and power have always been complementary to each other.
It can be said that Chen Kan's achievements today have a lot to do with his never being short of money.
Although he rarely went out to spend money in person, the Hou Mansion spent no less than it should have spent.
And when it comes to money, there is no business in the world that is more profitable than real estate.
The price of a house in Jinshuihe starts at least a hundred thousand yuan, and after Zhu Di moved the capital, if the price could not triple, Chen Kan would be willing to rip his head off and play it as a football.
Even if the money is kept in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, it will become moldy. If it is used for real estate speculation, it will triple in a few years, and you will make a lot of money.
The money of big households is going to be cheated, and naturally small households cannot let it go.
The purchased land is built into a small villa, and even if it is sold for only tens of thousands of dollars, it will be a huge profit.
As for where their money came from, Chen Kan had no doubts about the ability of Ming officials to make money.
This is no longer the period of Taizu, and corruption and bribery are no longer so strict.
Didn’t you hear that in three years the magistrate was purified and he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver?
Their money comes from plundering people's wealth and wealth, so Chen Kan will naturally not be lenient when trying to trick them.
Anyway, if the money is in their hands, they will not escape the fate of being buried in the pigsty.
In Chen Kan's hands, Chen Kan can also turn the money into roads, bridges, fleets, and various advanced tools.
After silently counting how much money he could make this time in his mind, the smile on Chen Kan's face suddenly became brighter.
He also hummed a light tune involuntarily.
"Master Hou, it's time to eat!"
After finishing all the things, it was just time for dinner.
As soon as he heard the maid's charming voice, Chen Kan felt very good.
Moving to the dining room, Chang Ning had already taken the lead and sat down with the help of two nannies, just waiting for Chen Kan to come and start eating.
Looking at the uncontrollable smile on his lips, Chang Ning couldn't help but asked softly: "Husband, is there any happy event in our family today?"
"happy event?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then calmed down his expression and said in a low voice: "There is no happy event today, but our family will get rich in a few days."
"Get rich?"
Chang Ning's big eyes were full of clear stupidity: "Didn't our family get rich a long time ago?"
After hearing this, Chen Kan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not the same thing. To really make a fortune, as my husband said, the money you have can triple or four times in a short period of time."
"Hiss~"
Chang Ning took a breath and said in disbelief: "Really?"
"Of course, my husband has never lied to you."
Chen Kan responded and began to eat the food slowly.
But Chang Ning suddenly became excited.
Over the years, the wealth of the Hou Mansion has been accumulated to a certain extent, and the profits brought by perfume and soap are no longer enough to achieve a rapid growth of the Hou Mansion's wealth.
Although caravans at sea can bring a lot of wealth, it is obviously unrealistic to explode three or four times as Chen Kan said.
"Get rich, get rich!"
Chang Ning instantly transformed into a small money fan.
Even though Chang Ning had been well-fed and well-fed since she was a child, she had seen countless good things, but it was still difficult to calm down in the face of such a huge amount of wealth.
But Chang Ning had forgotten that he was about to give birth, and the most taboo thing about him was excessive mood swings.
This excitement made my stomach suddenly feel restless.
"pain!"
Chang Ning suddenly changed his face.
"Husband, my stomach hurts."
Chen Kan hurriedly put down his chopsticks and rushed to Chang Ning.
"What's wrong?"
Almost in an instant, a pool of water stains accumulated on Chang Ning's lower body.
"My water broke!"
Chang Ning's face was so painful that his face was distorted.
Hearing this, Chen Kan was immediately shocked. While holding Chang Ning in his arms, he shouted: "Po Wen, Po Wen..."
The incident happened very suddenly. Fortunately, the Hou Mansion had prepared many rehearsals for today's event.
Several women quickly rushed into the dining room, carried Chang Ning with all their hands, and rushed into the delivery room that had been prepared.
The servants and maids who came after hearing the news also quickly got busy, boiling water and preparing various tools.
Various tonics such as Tianqi of Life are also prepared almost instantly.
Chen Kan helped Chang Ning to the door of the delivery room. Just as he was about to follow him in, he was pushed out hard by two stable women.
"Master Marquis, the delivery room is an unclean place and men are not allowed to enter!"
Chen Kan opened his mouth, but the two stable ladies had already closed the door.
Disappointed, Chen Kan had to stand outside the delivery room and wait anxiously.
In this era, when a woman gives birth to a child, she has to go through hell, even though Chen Kan has prepared everything that should be prepared.
But at this moment, my heart, which had been calm for a long time, still became uncontrollably panicked.
"It must be safe, it must be safe!"
Chen Kan muttered to himself unconsciously, not knowing whether to encourage himself or Chang Ning in the delivery room.
The servants methodically brought basins of clean water into the delivery room, and then brought out basins of bloody water in a hurry.
Less than half an hour after entering the house, Chang Ning's cry of pain was loud enough that Chen Kan could hear it standing in the yard.
Every time Chang Ning screamed, Chen Kan's face inevitably turned pale.
He wanted to rush into the delivery room to have a look, but the two women were like door gods. As long as Chen Kan came near, they would persuade him to leave with a cold face.
"Hmm~"
"Ah~"
Chang Ning's screams became louder and louder, and the maids who came in and out of the delivery room changed the water more and more frequently.
Chen Kan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He kept walking around in the yard, but there was nothing he could do.
For the first time in so many years, Chen Kan felt so helpless.
"There must be peace, there must be peace..."
Chen Kan didn't know how much time had passed, but he only knew that his legs were almost numb.
But Chang Ning's screams still didn't stop, and their voices gradually became weaker.
"The mother has no strength, so ginseng soup, ginseng soup."
Wen Po's anxious voice reached Chen Kan's ears.
The ginseng soup was warming on a small fire on the stove at the door. Chen Kan seemed to suddenly have a direction. He picked up the ginseng soup and rushed to the delivery room.
"The ginseng soup is here, the ginseng soup is here!"
Chen Kan walked to the door of the delivery room with the ginseng soup. Po Wen ran out in a hurry, took the ginseng soup and ran towards the room.
Chen Kan grabbed a maid who was carrying a basin of blood and walked out of the room and asked, "How's it going? Princess, how is she?"
The maid looked a little pale and replied in a low voice: "Po Wen said the child is too big to be born."
When Chen Kan heard this, his face was full of panic.
This was what he was worried about, so he kept pulling Chang Ning to exercise in the first place.
"Ah~"
Chang Ning's screams became more and more shrill, making Chen Kan's heart tremble.
However, perhaps because of the ginseng soup, his voice was not as weak as before.
"Princess, push harder, push harder~"
"The fetus is showing its head, please work harder!"
Wen Po's voice was also a little urgent, and Chen Kan couldn't bear to wait at the door any longer.
Just when Chen Kan decided to rush in desperately, a loud cry suddenly came from the delivery room.
"Wow~"
This was followed by the surprised laughter of a group of midwives.
"It's born, it's born!"
Chen Kan also heard the loud crying, and suddenly there was wind at his feet and he rushed into the delivery room.
"Master Marquis, he has given birth to a daughter of a daughter!"
Po Wen held a small wrinkled meat dumpling in her arms to announce the good news to Chen Kan.
Chen Kan took one look and shouted: "Reward!"
Then he rushed to the pale Chang Ning and asked, "Madam, how are you?"
