Chapter 140
Does Xiao Chen really have the qualities to be an emperor?
It's hard to say.
Needless to say, benevolence and righteousness are benevolent enough, and cleverness is also smart enough. As for virtue, this kid is not bad, or he is very kind.
He could distribute the food to the refugees at his own expense, and even risked his life to wipe out the bandits in Heihu Mountain, and distributed all the food to the refugees.
His actions saved the lives of thousands of refugees!
But he never mentioned it, as if doing this was just doing what he wanted and doing it with little effort.
Needless to say bravery, this kid is simply daring, everyone who is the boss retreats in battle, but he is doing his best, rushing up as if he was desperate.
Somewhat careless.
But he was able to break into the unexpected place of Burma, and he returned safely without any damage. By the way, he killed Prince Saiba and broke the 300,000 Siamese army...
It's not as simple as being smart.
If it is not for great wisdom and courage, it will never be possible.
So is he short-sighted or wise?
This guy is quite contradictory.
There seemed to be a lot of faults, but apart from lust, Chen Jisheng couldn't think of anything else for a while.
Being lustful isn't really a problem.
At that time, Mr. Zhang had a poem saying: Since ancient times, heroes are all lustful. If you are not lustful, you are not a hero. Although I am not a hero, only lustful is like a hero!
I am not ashamed but proud, but what I said is the basic truth.
You have counted those princes and generals, which one is not lecherous?
Back then, Duke Huan of Qi openly said that the widow has a disease and that the widow is lustful, and asked Guan Zhong if this disease would prevent me from being king and hegemony?
Guan Zhong said it was all right.
Being lustful isn't a problem, but Xiao Chen's lustful object is something special!
How many times did he sleep directly in other people's bedrooms in the name of protecting the noble concubine on the way to send Liu Guifei? Can you count?
Others don't know, but Chen Jisheng, Zhuge Xiaosheng and the others all know, the main reason is that Xiao Chen doesn't shy away from them at all.
This matter, Chen Jisheng, as an elder, really can't persuade Xiao Chen, because what? Because Xiao Chen is a eunuch.
Chen Jisheng could scold Xiao Chen in various ways, but he would never touch Xiao Chen's sore spot.
So I kept turning a blind eye all the time. Anyway, he is a eunuch, and he can only have the subjective will and intention of committing a crime, so it is impossible to actually commit a crime.
He does not have this ability.
Besides, the harem was originally a mess, and it was the same in every dynasty...
"Old man, what are you thinking, talk?" Seeing Chen Jisheng staring at him for a while without saying a word, Xiao Chen couldn't help feeling hairy all over.
"Let me see if you have the potential to be an emperor." Chen Jisheng said coldly.
"What about the result? Well, don't talk about it!" Xiao Chen had already heard the result from his tone.
Most likely it was not what he expected.
After the two had lunch, Xiao Chen took him to find Zhang Baiwan and told him what happened just now. Later, the Ministry of Industry should send someone to ask for the drawings and crafts. Give them all, and don't hide anything.
Zhang Baiwan said that this is fine, saying that I have been in business for so many years, and when I make money, I only have joy, and I have never been afraid.
I am earning too much now, I am really a little scared, because I am afraid that someday a catastrophe will suddenly strike!
So he is also a smart guy.
Xiao Chen originally wanted to open a barbecue restaurant, build a monosodium glutamate factory, a sanitary napkin factory, and even a rubber processing factory...
But now it looks like, don't be so busy, all the busyness is making wedding dresses for others!
Besides, my life and death are uncertain at the moment, and I have no intention of doing this at all.
Li Wanjiang, Li Wanjiang, if you treat me better, I can assure you that I will definitely help you create a Fortune 500 company and earn all the money outside of Dazhou. Come, let you completely achieve financial freedom!
Within ten years, it is guaranteed that Dazhou will become the largest economy in the world...
It was still early after Zhang Baiwan came out, so Xiao Chen rode his horse and went straight to Dongcheng.
"Where is this going?" Chen Jisheng walked side by side with him, chatting while walking, and after walking a long way, he realized that this was not the way home.
"Take you to meet someone." Xiao Chen said.
"Who?" Chen Jisheng asked.
"Dead." Xiao Chen said.
Really dead, but alive.
"Too... Where does the sun come from today? Master Xiao, you are actually coming to the humble house." This person is naturally Zhao Gongming, and seeing Xiao Chen suddenly come to his heart, he was so happy that he almost blurted out a word of prince.
"Hmph, is this still a humble house? I think it's even more magnificent than the prince's mansion!" Xiao Chen said.
"Let's just watch it." Zhao Gongming looked Chen Jisheng up and down. Isn't this the deposed Zuodu Censor Chen?
Proper honest and loyal official, how could you get mixed up with my crown prince?
"This is Mr. Chen, you must also recognize it. Mr. Chen, this is Zhao Gongming. He used to be a eunuch in the palace. He was given to death because of a mistake, but he came back to life. Now he has changed his appearance and become a rich man." Xiao Chen didn't hide it. Chen Jisheng.
"I know you, please come in, this is not a place to talk." Zhao Gongming invited the two of them into his inner study, screened everyone away, and then hurriedly asked Xiao Chen why he came here.
Have you decided to rebel?
In order not to be suspected, Xiao Chen seldom came to Zhao Gongming's place, but today he came suddenly, presumably there was some important matter to discuss?
"I have nothing to do, let's come and see you... Isn't it you, an old eunuch, what are you doing with so many young and beautiful little girls?" Xiao Chen's purpose here is to let Chen Jisheng get to know him.
He didn't dare to tell Chen Jisheng his identity directly, because he was afraid that he couldn't accept it for a while and would go crazy again, so he adopted this step-by-step method.
It was a verbal temptation just now, but now it is leading him to recognize someone.
Maybe we'll be friends in the future, so it's better to get acquainted first.
"Why do you like it, Mr. Xiao? I'll give it to you. Anyway, a yellow-haired girl is very cheap now. Generally, it only costs ten taels of silver, and the better ones are only twenty taels of silver. Those like mine are considered top-grade, and they are only five taels of silver." Ten taels of silver each." Zhao Gongming said.
"Fucking human life is so cheap!" What Xiao Chen hates the most is the current population trading system.
If my young master becomes the emperor, I will be the first to abolish this.
"This is still our capital. If it is in those war-torn places, I heard that it only costs one tael of silver to buy a girl, and there are even free gifts, as long as the food can support you!" Zhao Gongming also showed a trace of sadness on his face.
"Old man, as the censor of Zuodu, why didn't you ask the emperor to abolish this trading system!" Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable and angered Chen Jisheng.
"Hundreds of officials in the imperial court, big gentry families, who doesn't have a dozen young servants? Can you abolish them? Besides, how will those servants be resettled after the abolition? Some of them are poor and can't get rid of the pot, and some have no homes at all. , Where do you want them to go? Who will support them?" Chen Jisheng sighed.
"As long as the family can survive, who would sell their children? If you banned this business, how many children would starve to death!" Zhao Gongming said.
So abolishing the system will not solve any problems at all.
Unless you can make all the common people have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment!
