Chapter 14 Incentives

Chen Xi has always been honest and self-reliant in the army, rarely cursing people, and rarely speaks dirty words. When Chen Xi said this to Jing Yue, although he was cursing, Jing Yue could hear the motivation and encouragement in his words clearly.

Chen Xi is not the kind of person who is in front of him and behind him. He said that admiring Jing Yue was the heartfelt words, and Jing Yue showed a little ashamed on his face.

"Old people value it, but they are not ruthless in their duties, and they always make them unhappy. If they have the opportunity to serve their lives in the future, they will definitely live up to their expectations and die in a daze."

Jing Yue said almost gritting his teeth.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Life well, you don't have to die before you die, just cause less trouble for me in the future. Keep a close eye on the people below on the way back. If someone intends to cause trouble, even if you can't stop it, don't get caught in it!"

Jing Yue was stunned and immediately understood Chen Xi's worries.

After being trained by Chen Xi, the bandit suppression army was considered a "tiger and wolf army". The army was unwilling to accept that they could not continue to move north. If they caused trouble on the road, all the generals of the army would have to be responsible in the end.

Chen Xi was transferred back to Beijing and would not have much to do with it, and Jing Yue had to bear the blame in the army. Chen Xi was reminding him to supervise the soldiers of the three armies.

"Sir, please rest assured. Although those bastards are unwilling to give up, they don't have the courage to oppose the court. Even if they have some ideas, they can still figure out how much they have... If they have an adult, they may be able to do something!"

Speaking of this, Jing Yue realized that his words were a bit overwhelming, but when he saw that Chen Xi did not blame him, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately turned over and bowed, "Sir, there will be a time in the future!"

Chen Xi nodded: "It may be better if you meet me again!"

Jing Yue sighed unwillingly, turned his horse's head and galloped away. When the team walked away, Chen Xi was still looking at the direction they were leaving.

At some point, Yu Niang came behind Chen Xi and asked, "Sir, can't bear to bear it?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "What are you reluctant to let go? Is this group of soldiers or military careers? At present, at least the coastal areas of Guangdong Province have returned to peace. People can live a peaceful life within three to five years... I just feel a pity that I have not led the soldiers of the three armies to truly achieve success!"

Yu Niang praised: "Mr. Shen is dedicated to the people and soldiers, and he is actually a talent for generals."

"I don't need to praise Yu Zhen. I will not be rude because of a few words from others. I will not be arrogant because of a few words of praise. I will not be arrogant because of a few words of praise. I will also go north and have families from Guangzhou Prefecture to travel north. I will be troubled by Yu Zhen to take care of him!"

Chen Xi bowed to Yu Niang politely.

Yu Niang knew that Chen Xi was very careful about her and she could not expect to get Chen Xi's protection immediately. She also followed the long-term attitude and said: "If the lord has a strong opinion, I will protect the safety of the lord and his family."

Chen Xi didn't want to say too much to Yu Niang.

Many things in the Ming Dynasty could be followed by the rules of the elders and the inferiors, but the factory and security system was beyond the original rules of the court. His relationship with Yu Niang was more similar to mutual use. As for whether Yu Niang wanted to curry favor with him as a bargaining chip in the future, it was not something he was concerned about.

Chen Xi believes that with Yu Niang's wisdom, she should know the rules of the officialdom. If you want to get the blessing of others, you must make contributions and reflect your own value.

Just like Yu Niang's rise in recent years, if she had not investigated An Rusheng's case, the court felt that she had certain ability and promoted her exceptionally. At this time, she might still be the madam of the Jiaofangsi in Tingzhou Fucheng, living in the false accusation every day, without any hope or expectation for the future.

...

...

The day when Chenxi sets off is scheduled for May 20th.

On this trip, he would go north with Tao Yan, his aides, family members, entourage, and other 60 or 70 people, as well as a team of more than 50 people led by Yu Niang.

Chen Xi and the Fujian Commander-in-Chief Office seconded twenty officers and soldiers as his personal bodyguards heading north. These personal guards were unfamiliar to Chen Xi, and they had no idea of ​​each other's roots, so they had to slowly get familiar with and train along the way.

In addition, Chen Xi asked Song Xiaocheng to allocate thirty brothers from the carriage and horse gang as entourage and servants. When Chen Xi went south to perform his duties, he had taken away all the people who stayed in the capital. When he returned, not only did his family not be by his side, but he didn't even have any helpers, but he was equivalent to a bird without wings, and he could not use his strength.

On May 19th, Chen Xi inspected the industry of the caravans in Fuzhou for the last time.

Song Xiaocheng told Chen Xi that the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has re-joined the chariot and horse gang system. Changting County, Tingzhou Prefecture City and Ninghua County, Shen Xi’s hometown, were included in the sphere of influence of the chariot and horse gang, but it was unable to restore to its original scale in a short period of time.

Song Xiaocheng said: "Sir, if you have time, you should really go back to Tingzhou once. In addition to returning home in glory and glorious villages, you can also let the shopkeepers and newly joined brothers see the huge momentum of our carriage and horse gang. Due to the previous storm, many businesses are afraid of ropes after being bitten by snakes for ten years. Even if you know that your status is extraordinary now, they still dare not join us again!"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Don't force yourself if you don't want to join, just take care of your own business. Now our goal is not to monopolize all walks of life on the market, but to compete in an orderly manner and not to do anything to bully the market. Whether in the officialdom, military, or business, or in the green forest, we must pay attention to conquering people with virtue."

"Brother Jiu, do your work well. When I need you to be by my side in the future, we will do something earth-shaking!"

When talking about "big events", Song Xiaocheng actually envied Ma Jiu very much. Ma Jiu was once just one of his younger brothers, but now Ma Jiu can command the fleet and artillery. This time, he followed the fleet to Guangzhou Prefecture and escorted Chen Xi's family back to Beijing.

Ma Jiu and Song Xiaocheng took a different path.

Although Song Xiaocheng has many people under his command and can dispose of tens of thousands of chunks of money, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are far more than Ma Jiu who works by Shen Xi, he is no longer comparable to Ma Jiu.

Everything Ma Jiu is currently fighting with Chen Xi on the battlefield, and he is just a big butler responsible for logistics supply, making money for Chen Xi and handling official and business affairs.

When Chen Xi was about to leave after inspection, Song Xiaocheng asked: "Sir, do you think... how much money do you earn in the next two years will be considered qualified?"

"Um?"

Chen Xi didn't understand Song Xiaocheng's meaning for a while.

From the perspective of business, of course, the more money you make, the better. But perhaps Song Xiaocheng wants to set a goal. After completing this goal, he can not be nervous or want to fill his pockets. In short, he wants Chen Xi to give him an accurate number.

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "If I can make 100,000 yuan in money, my ninth brother will return to the capital. If I open a yamen and build a mansion, I will let my ninth brother plan things in the yamen and no longer involve the affairs of the world."

Chen Xi could not be sure whether Song Xiaocheng would lose his true heart. He could only draw a big cake for Song Xiaocheng, allowing Song Xiaocheng to continue to fight for it, and let Song Xiaocheng know that his future will not be just a rude person, who can become an official in the house, and even his children and grandchildren will have blessings.

Otherwise, no matter how rich and powerful he is, he will be nothing in front of the government. A small county magistrate can let him sit in prison. Only by becoming a member of the official class can he survive.

Sure enough, when Chen Xi painted the cake, Song Xiaocheng suddenly felt full of motivation and said, "Old man just go back to Beijing. There are villains in Fujian who are responsible. In two years, he will definitely bring 100,000 guan of money back to Beijing to report to the adults!"

...

...

After everything was arranged, Chen Xi was most worried about his family in Guangdong.

Chen Xi has not had a good rest these two days. He always cares about Hui Niang's situation and is worried about whether Xie Hengnu will be uncomfortable with her first child, when will he see his family, when will he go back to Guangdong to meet Hui Niang or when will he ask Hui Niang to return to Beijing to meet him again.

After the manpower was completed, the Fujian Provincial Administration Commission gave Chen Xi some gifts, which were not a valuable item. Tao Yan and him had one, mostly local specialties, not worth a few dollars, and a few pieces of satin... This satin was used for the two of them as officials, but Chen Xi didn't even know how many ranks he had to be in the capital, so he couldn't say that he had laid off the official uniform.

Although Chen Xi was in charge of the title of the third-rank right deputy chief censor, this position was a temporary imperial envoy after all. He did not have a resume working in the local three corps offices, and even the governor of the three provinces had only half a job. After returning to the capital, it would be possible to spend some time in the northwest reunion.

This was the case in the Ming Dynasty. When you use it, you push you very high, and when you don’t use it, you will be abandoned like a piece of shoes. Just like Liu Daxia. Before Liu Daxia became the Minister of Revenue, he actually had a long time to hold the title of “Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue” and was unemployed in Beijing for many years. He just helped Emperor Hongzhi to do some imperial envoys in various places, and returned to Beijing after completing the task well, and continued to be unemployed.

Even if Liu Daxia, who was old and polite, was like this, Chen Xi did not dare to expect that he would receive special preferential treatment.

The best result after returning to Beijing was to serve as a lecturer in the East Palace, but there were certain numbers of lecturers in the East Palace. The prince took so many courses in ten months, so it was impossible to take any astronomy and geography courses casually. Jin Gui took over the position of Chen Xi to teach the prince's "Twenty-One History". He would not make people get a seat just because Chen Xi returned, which would be unruly.

After thinking about it, Chen Xi felt that staying in the capital is also a good choice to be an idle person. When the family returns to Beijing, they can raise flowers and birds and live a leisurely life. When the court thinks of him and lets him come back, they will do their best.

At that time, the prince should have ascended the throne. Perhaps even the * in the early years of Zhengde had come to an end. After returning to the court, he could show his ambitions and make a career, and even rely on his own talents to be the most powerful minister. No one would think that he was just a yellow-haired boy who was not in a solid manner.
