The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 205 Business House

After hearing Lin Chao's question, the Zhen brothers looked at each other, both a little puzzled.

Zhen Yao cupped his hands and said very solemnly: "Brother has something to say, please speak up, I will respectfully listen to you."

In the past two years, although Lin Chao could not claim to be in a high position, the power he could mobilize was not small, and he naturally developed the bearing of a superior. Once he got serious, the Zhen brothers immediately felt a sense of oppression. He also became more respectful.

Lin Chao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not about teaching, it's just an open and honest relationship between us brothers. Mrs. Zhen planned to move to Tancheng, so she came here for Duke Xuande, so I just said it straight, two virtuous brothers. What are you asking for?"

"For money? For fame? For power? Or for an official?"

Hearing this, the two Zhen brothers were stunned.

Even though their younger sister was Lin Chao's concubine, they never expected Lin Chao to be so direct.

When she came to her senses, Zhen Yao felt a little excited.

Lin Zichu was so straightforward, it seemed that he really regarded Mrs. Zhen as one of his own!
Jiang'er should be quite loved by Lin Zichu in the mansion!
If Lin Chao can talk so much, Zhen Yao will be a bit ignorant if he keeps secretive.

He motioned his younger brother Zhen Yan to stand up together, saluted Lin Chao to the end, and said sincerely: "Brother, younger brother knows that I am not a talent for helping the world, but my Zhen family has been in decline for too long. Although younger brother is weak, but I also want to restore the lintel, and hope that my brother will be successful!"

Although Zhen Yao expressed his heart, Lin Chao persuaded him: "My dear brother, you should think about it. Once you become an official, you will have to rely on yourself in the future. I can't guarantee that you will be fully protected. It's better to be a rich family." Weng, you can die in peace."

This was Lin Chao's last advice, and it was also for Zhen Jiang's sake.

However, Zhen Yao was very firm and said: "Little brother has made up his mind, and I hope that brother will be successful!"

Such an opportunity may only come once in this life!
The Tongtian Dao is right in front of you, how could Zhen Yao, who is determined to revive the Zhen family, give up?

Lin Chao nodded, waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, and then began to say: "In this case, tomorrow, I will invite Lord Xuande to enlist my virtuous younger brother to work in Xuzhou's governance."

It is said that it is a petition, but in fact the power in Xuzhou is in the hands of Lin Chao, and he can make a decision with one word.

Zhou Mu has one of the Twelve Governments under his command, and now there are still some places, so he gave Zhen Yao one.

"This……"

Zhen Yao was terrified, he waved his hands again and again and said: "Little brother, how can he, dare to be in charge of governance, please take back his life!"

Since he was determined to vote for Liu Bei, how could Zhen Yao have not made preparations.Long before he came to Xuzhou, he had consulted Zhao Yun, his brother-in-law, about the civil and military system under Liu Bei's command.

Although he is only a low-level official with a rank of six hundred stones in Zhizhong, in Liu Bei's case, he is a real confidant and talented, so he is qualified to serve.

Let's look at Liu Bei's governance, from Lin Chao, Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and even Jian Yong, none of these are resourceful figures.

No matter how inflated Zhen Yao was, he did not dare to sit on an equal footing with these people.

He thought that it would be great for Lin Chao to let him start as a county magistrate.

"Your work in the government is naturally not for someone's selfishness, let's listen to someone's arrival." Lin Chao smiled and comforted, "My dear brother, you know that a few days ago, Lord Xuande issued a decree that the salt and iron , wine, and paper are all returned to the official camp.”

Zhen Yao shook his head honestly and said, "My little brother has just arrived in Xuzhou, and I haven't heard of it yet."

Lin Chao continued: "Mr. Xuande's aspirations are in the world, so it is natural to enrich the treasury and train the soldiers. Money and food are the most important thing."

Hearing this, Zhen Yao immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother, if Duke Xuande is short of money, my younger brother is willing to donate [-] million family funds to help Duke Xuande enrich the treasury!"

"I'm not asking you for money. You don't need to spend money to buy it for your governance."

Seeing that Zhen Yao misunderstood what he meant, Lin Chao said angrily.

"I mean, I want to use my virtuous brother's business talents to manage these businesses for Mr. Xuande." Lin Chao explained, "For the people's livelihood, taxation should not be too heavy. The rest of the money will be counted on In terms of business, does my brother understand what XX means?"

"Little brother understands."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yao finally understood what Lin Chao meant.

Also more and more rejoicing.

Only when you can use yourself can you have the opportunity to be promoted.

Lin Chao said: "Salt, iron, wine, and paper, you can choose two. Call all the people from your Zhen family who are good at business to make this business for Duke Xuande."

These four are the most profitable businesses in the future, and Lin Chao will naturally not put them all in Zhen's hands.

Zhen Yao pondered for a moment, and finally chose salt and wine.

Xuzhou is backed by the East China Sea and has several salt mines, which is the most natural advantage.

As for drinks, it has always been one of the most profitable businesses.

These two things were not beyond Lin Chao's expectation. He nodded and said, "In two days, a certain business mansion will be established, and my virtuous brother will be the mansion prime minister in the mansion, responsible for specific matters. My virtuous brother, remember that the business mansion The biggest function is to generate money for Duke Xuande, if it cannot be done, then the meaning of existence will be lost."

Regarding Lin Chao's suggestion, Zhen Yao immediately understood, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, elder brother, younger brother will definitely live up to the kindness of elder brother's recommendation!"

Zhen Yao may not be sure about other things, but he is too confident about business matters.

Regarding business matters, Mrs. Zhen has never failed.

After discussing the business, the three of them chatted for a while before the Zhen brothers left.

Lin Chao also went out of the room, but happened to run into Lin Xi who had just come out of the back house.

At this time, Lin Xi looked rosy and in a good mood, which made Lin Chao frown slightly.

This kid, wouldn't he eat that little girl Zhen Dao?

Counting her age, Zhen Dao's little girl is only 15 years old after Chinese New Year...

So sinful!

Although I told him, but the two young people are together, and they are a real husband and wife, so it is inevitable that they can't help themselves.

Thinking about it, Lin Chao walked over and asked, "Zixu, what were you doing in the back house just now?"

"Help the two sister-in-laws and the lady of the Chen family move." Lin Xi answered directly without thinking, then leaned closer and said, "Brother, is the lady of the Chen family also housed in the back house?"

Speaking of this, Lin Chao suddenly remembered this matter, and asked, "Zixu, does father really have an old friend from the Chen family?"

"Of course there is. Could it be that brother has forgotten?"

Lin Xi nodded, taking it for granted.

This……

Actually there is!
Lin Chao was completely dumbfounded!

After the words fell, Lin Xi looked around again and found no one, then continued to say mysteriously: "Not only that, that Uncle Chen also made a marriage contract with his father."

What?
engagement?

Lin Chao asked suspiciously, "Zixu, how did you know this?"

"This..." Lin Xi said with some embarrassment, "At that time, my father and Chen Shishu were having a secret conversation in the study. I accidentally overheard it, so my brother naturally didn't know."

Lin Chao asked again: "For whom?"

"Xi was only eight years old at the time, so it was naturally decided for my elder brother and the Chen lady."

Me and Mrs. Chen!

Lin Chao was completely speechless.

No wonder I heard Uncle Fu said before that he also had a marriage contract, but the war was in turmoil, and the two families had no contact for a long time, and it gradually disappeared.

As for the lady of the Chen family, Lin Chao took a quick look outside the city. She behaves quite decently and has a virtuous personality. If there is no Xun Cai, she would be a good wife candidate.

just now...

Naturally it is impossible.

But knowing this, Lin Chao couldn't think of what attitude he should use to treat the siblings.

　To be dragged out in the middle of the night to talk nonsense...

　　Let's start nine thousand today, good night
