Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the first day of the first lunar month in the 29th year of the Yongli calendar, before dawn, Chen Yonghua had already led the officials left behind in Dongning to the Yinluan Hall of the Prince's Mansion in Yanping County. Since Zhu Jin was not there, Chen Yonghua sent someone to the lotus courtyard where Chen Zhaoniang lived to invite Zheng Ke Zang came forward to accept the worship of all the officials, but Zheng Kezang avoided the kindness of the officials.

"Madam said that the eldest son is young, so it is not suitable to receive Mr. Chen and all officials to pay homage. If the adults are interested, they can go to pay homage to Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang." He repeated Zheng Kezang's explanation. "If the ancestors of Guotai and the aunt are unwilling to come forward, all the officials can also pay respects to Siming."

After the little servant finished speaking, he patted his ass and left. Yang Xian, the worker whose face was blackened by the sea breeze, immediately approached Chen Yonghua: "My lord, the first yuan meeting should be presided over by Qian Yang, but the yuan The son does not want to step out of the palace, what should be done about this matter, it may not really make all the officials pay homage to Siming."

"It's a good thing for Yuanzi to be polite and self-effacing, but what Master Yang said is very true, there is indeed something wrong with Yao Shen Siming." Chen Yonghua thought for a while. "As for the beginning of the Yiyuan meeting, whether Qianyang or Kunyin will preside over it, I blame the servant for not asking for an order in advance. Now that the matter is in a hurry, it is better to send people to invite Guo Tai and Mrs. Tang first."

Yang Xian stared straight at Chen Yonghua with staring eyes, and Chen Yonghua, who was open-minded in his heart, looked back without fear. After a long time, Yang Xiancai, who was defeated by the stare at each other, said resentfully: "This is the only way to do it now."

"My sons see grandma, I wish grandma Bodhisattva bless you, and everything goes well"

"Daughters-in-law see mother-in-law, wish mother-in-law a happy new year and everything goes well"

"The grandson has kowtowed to his grandmother, wishing his grandmother good health and longevity"

"Okay, okay, the auspicious words are the same every year, what's the meaning of saying so much, get up, don't kneel down."

Dong Guotai, who was dressed in brocade forging with cloud pattern of Sixi Ruyi and covered with a cloak inlaid with thick brocade and ermine inlaid with eight groups of happy encounters, sat on the chariot couch, waving at the descendants kneeling all over the floor, even though quite a few of them were not born to her. Yes, there are a few that she hates just looking at them, but on the New Year's Day, she certainly won't say any disappointing words.

The descendants of the Zheng family and their spouses got up from the ground one after another, and each sat down in their own seats.Since Zhu Jin's battle in the mainland this year is not in Dongning, the first position on the left side is occupied by Princess Tang of Yanping and six-year-old Zheng Keshuang. Sit in the back row.

Seeing this very symbolic scene, Dong Guotai subconsciously frowned.Although she was not very happy about Zheng Kezang's grandson, she also understood that Dongning had already regarded him as Zhu Jin's heir.Under such circumstances, if news of today's seat number gets out, it will inevitably cause a moderate disturbance.

In order to eliminate the possibility of civil strife, Dong Guotai thought of a best-effort idea: "Qin She, come and sit next to grandma."

"No!" Zheng Keshuang, who was still a little childish, agreed happily, and he quickly ran to Dong Guotai and sat down beside Dong Guotai, who was still ignorant. Zheng's children and their spouses tried to interpret it from different starting points, and many of them had thoughtful eyes.

The family reunion banquet began, and it was quite formal at first. After Dong Guotai, who is a vegetarian all the year round, took a few bites and left the banquet with Zheng Keshuang, the situation became completely different. Zheng Ming and others who had been suppressing just now suddenly rushed Zheng Cong opened fire.

"My little brother heard that the second brother will make a lot of money this year. However, it is not a good thing to eat alone. I also ask the second brother to show your respect and let a few brothers share the profit from it. What do you think, the second brother?"

"What? What? What did you say? Yu heard it right." Zheng Cong cast a glance at the brothers, and first saluted Mrs. Tang. "Sister-in-law Wang, there are some nasty words here. I'm afraid it will spoil my sister-in-law's ears. It's better to ask sister-in-law Wang to leave the table with the other siblings first." When the women heard this, they stood up and prepared to leave. Ke Zang was also about to run away, but Zheng Cong saw through his plan at a glance and decided to drag him into the water. "Qinshe, you can't go, your father is not here, you have to stay and judge for a few uncles."

Zheng Kezang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was really afraid of something, but Zheng Cong had already spoken, so he didn't want to ignore it and walk away.However, Zheng Kezang also noticed the unnatural look on Mrs. Tang's face after Zheng Cong's words, and the worried look on his mother Chen Zhaoniang's face.

In order not to worry his mother, Zheng Kezang had to try to pull himself out: "Second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, and sixth uncle, seventh uncle, eighth uncle, and ninth uncle, you are elders, and the elders are above you. There is a reason for the younger generation to judge the elders, this is not in line with the etiquette, it is better for the nephew to retire first."

"No, you stay," Zheng Cong made up his mind not to let him go, so he did not hesitate to clarify the cooperative relationship between the two parties in front of everyone. "You also have a [-]% interest in Tangliao. If you don't stay, then I won't have to argue with them."

When Zheng Cong said this, Zheng Kezang couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to sit down and accompany him.

At this time, all the female relatives and children had left, and Zheng Cong, who was sitting there with a big face, raised his face at the brothers with unkind faces: "Okay, those who should go have already gone, and the rest, face to face." Drum, the third child, and you guys, bring out any rules and regulations, and I will wait for the second brother."

"Second, don't act like a naughty boy, Yu is not afraid of you." Zheng Ming glared at Zheng Cong. "They are all brothers, and I will not blackmail you. I will give you two options. Either hand over the method of making high-grade snow sugar and rock sugar, or let the brothers take a share in your sugar house. Everyone gets rich together, and there is no way to eat alone.”

"Hehe, what a big tone." Hearing Zheng Ming's request on behalf of the other brothers, Zheng Cong laughed angrily. "Why did Yu Zifa get rich and take some of you idiots with him, snatch food from the tiger's mouth and sit back and enjoy the rewards? You have a good idea. Come on, try it, and see if Yu beats you all over the place."

Before Zheng Cong's words fell to the ground, he heard the sixth son, Zheng Kuan, laugh a few times: "Second brother, it's better not to talk too much about some things. If you don't say it, the second brother may still ask Yu to wait for you in the future." When I was a brother, I was heartless and righteous now, and I am afraid that if I want to find someone to help me in the future, I am afraid I will not feel comfortable asking."

"I beg you fools to help me?" Zheng Cong couldn't help laughing as if he heard something ridiculous. "I'm afraid there is no time for that."

"Second brother, you really don't care about brotherhood." Zheng Zhi, the fifth brother, asked with a fierce look on his face, and Zheng Cong responded with a blank stare. "Brothers, everyone has seen his true colors clearly. Okay, don't blame Brother Yu and others for being unrighteous. Let's go to Chen Yonghua and ask him to strictly prohibit the sale of sugar cane to private individuals."

"Go, go." Zheng Cong waved impatiently. "What are you talking about so much nonsense, hurry up, don't blame the second brother for not telling you a few, Chen Fufu is holding back his energy to ban sugar cane smuggling, you go, he must say a few words about the high righteousness of the lords, just Don’t shoot yourself in the foot with a stone in the future.”

Seeing that Zheng Cong was not afraid of threats, the dudes immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Just when they didn't know what the problem was, they heard Zheng Kezang chuckle a few times, and Zheng Ming immediately rolled his eyes: "Qinshe, your second uncle is so powerful. Confidence, maybe you have given him some advice, let's tell the uncles."

"Second Uncle, I'll tell you." Anyway, this news can't be hidden from someone who cares, Zheng Cong nodded indifferently, so Zheng Kezang explained. "Third Uncle, a few days ago, Second Uncle has already negotiated with the Ministry of Industry. From now on, Second Uncle's Tang Liao will directly receive brown sugar from the Ministry of Industry at the market price, and the Ministry of Industry will save shipping costs and labor for refining snow sugar Second Uncle saves the manpower and animal power of sugar extraction and can expand the production of snow sugar. As the saying goes, both sides benefit from cooperation. Therefore, whether Mr. Chen prohibits the sale of sugar cane and implements a monopoly actually has no effect on Second Uncle. "

"What!" The faces of Zheng Ming and the others changed drastically. They finally came up with a trick to squeeze Zheng Cong. A few of them could be considered thick-skinned. Seeing that Zheng Cong's side couldn't make sense, and hearing that Zheng Kezang also had members of Tangliao, they immediately changed their minds and hit Zheng Kezang's head. "Qinshe, your second uncle doesn't want you to enter, so you have to be accommodating. Besides, why do you have so much money for a child? When you inherit the big position in the future, the whole of Taiwan will not be yours. "

"Third Uncle, Father Wang is at the peak of Spring and Autumn, so it's not easy to talk nonsense."

Zheng Kezang's face sank like water, and he immediately pointed out that Zheng Ming's words were inappropriate. After Zheng Kezang said it so righteously, Zheng Ming realized that he was speaking indiscriminately, at the wrong place, at the wrong time, at the wrong place. He said something wrong in front of others, but before he could take it back, Zheng Kezang said it again.

"Several uncles, it's not that Yu is unwilling to transfer out, but it's really inconvenient to transfer out. First, the uncles all know that my nephew has set up a children's camp. Although it is a game, the expenses are generous. Mr. Chen As a result, the appropriation here is insufficient, and my nephew has to rely on the profit share of the Tangliao to make up for the missing part. The second thing is that my nephew's share in the entire Tangliao is only [-]%, who to transfer to, and not to Who, uncles, can teach me?"

That's right, there are only two members, and if it is transferred to any of the other six, they will not be satisfied. If they are distributed evenly, how much money will they get in the end, and they have to be careful not to offend Zhu Jin.

Just as Zheng Ming and the others were slumped on their seats like deflated balls, Zheng Kezang had a flash of inspiration in his mind. This is an excellent opportunity, and he naturally wanted to seize it: "Right now! Making snow sugar is a great benefit, and Dongning has restricted the planting of sugarcane fields in order to ensure the supply of grain and fodder. My nephew thinks that my uncles may start from this aspect."

"That's right, our Juetian!" Zheng Wen, who was a year younger than Zheng Kezang, exclaimed. "After we go back, let them change all the sugarcane fields."

"Old Ba, you are crazy. Juetian has changed to a sugarcane field, so what will happen to your family's rations?"

"Rations, Sixth Brother, you are confused. Whose rations are short, can you short our brother's family?"

"It makes sense!" Zheng Rou, who was the same age as Zheng Wen, also jumped up. "With money, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy food!"

"Yes, yes!" The others also figured it out. "Go back, go back, and change the grain fields into sugarcane fields after the new year"
