Dominate the Country

Lying on the bed, Chen Ming placed his hand on his wife's belly. Li Xiaomei was only two months pregnant, and her waist was not showing any signs of pregnancy. But the blood connection made Chen Ming feel particularly warm.

In this world, this unborn little life is his first blood relative in the true sense.

"Husband, why are you a little depressed?" Li Xiaomei immediately noticed her husband's mental state and asked with concern.

Chen Ming used a little force to hug Li Xiaomei's slender body into his arms, and whispered in her ear about the bad things he had just heard about Gao Yanming and Chen Jigong.

Li Xiaomei was shocked. Her background determined that she valued and understood the reputation of the scholars more clearly than Chen Ming, and naturally understood the heavy blow and harm this kind of thing had on Gao and Chen. "Who is so cruel? This is an irreconcilable relationship with my family."

"I originally thought it was Guan Heze. A person who can make a scholar like He Huazhang give up everything to serve must not only be rich, but also have a certain influence among scholars. Among the enemies of our Chen family, Guan Heze is the one who meets the conditions most."

"But because it is too suitable, it would be too irrational for Guan Heze to really do this. I wonder if someone will set a trap to hurt Guan Heze through the hands of the Chen family." Chen Ming had no way to judge. "Maybe we should ask someone to check Zhuge Miao Town. Whoever benefits the most from Guan Heze's downfall may be the mastermind behind the scenes..." Even though he thought of one thing after another, Chen Ming himself could not make up his mind at all.

Holding his wife's smooth little hand, Chen Ming was very emotional at this moment, "I have loved reading miscellaneous books and history books since I was a child [Chen Ming also liked to read official novels in his previous life], and I think I have a lot of experience in the plots and dangerous strategies of human hearts [I think I am not stupid, my brain is still very smart], but in the six months since the late autumn of last year, your husband is really..." It is not as smart as I thought, just a little clever.

It was the decision of the cheap father to cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot to deal with the Guan family; it was also the decision of the father to take the opportunity to end the war with the Guan family, get a piece of land next to the dock of Zhuge Temple Town and jump out of the battle circle, and then N people who took advantage of the situation poured into Zhuge Temple Town, and the power of the Guan family's eldest house - silver, was consumed three times faster than when fighting with the Chen family.

Chen Ming had nothing to do with these two most important decisions. Think about the results of his time travel so far, that is, he found a real way to make money for the Chen family, improved the Chen family's reputation, and expanded the Chen family's industry.

Of course, for a family, especially a small family, Chen Ming's way of making money is absolutely important. But that is not his ideal, that is just a capable general, not a general. Chen Ming has always wanted to conquer the entire Chen family through his own "efforts", and then control the power of the entire Chen family. But now it seems that the goal is far away.

Li Xiaomei doesn't understand why her husband suddenly looks short of breath. In Li Xiaomei's eyes, Chen Ming is simply the best husband in the world. He is not as old-fashioned as his father. Chen Ming is interesting in life and has no temper. In order to make Li Xiaomei bored, he once specially "invented" poker, so that Landlord, Sword, Double Rising and other playing methods quickly spread in the Chen family, and then went to the whole Lushan County and the whole Ruzhou. In the joy of the boudoir, Li Xiaomei lives a completely different life from her mother and her sister-in-law.

There is a famous saying in China: Men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. For women of this era, husbands are the support of their lives for a lifetime, with influence that cannot be replaced by children and grandchildren. It is the sky above their heads and everything.

Li Xiaomei's cousins, even her mother and sister-in-law envied her to death. How many men in the world can treat their wives as well as Chen Ming? Anyway, there are not many in Lushan County.

Moreover, in addition to being a good person, Chen Ming's ability also made Li Xiaomei admire him. She is Chen Ming's wife, and has been one of the core members of the Chen family since the day she entered the house. The series of "secrets" of the Chen family are not disclosed to her actively, but they are not kept secret from her as long as Li Xiaomei is willing to understand. She really understood it, although not all.

The "power" shown by the Chen family is the annual income of 100,000 taels of silver. The income of 100,000 taels of silver really made Li Xiaomei happy. Although the Li family's plate can't make her hungry, more than 100 taels of silver are all Li Xiaomei dare not imagine. Now she knows that her husband's family is so rich, and all these silvers are her husband's ability.

Whether it is out of worship of money or out of a woman's admiration for her husband, Chen Ming's ability and image are perfect in Li Xiaomei's eyes. A perfect husband should always be high-spirited in the eyes of his wife. Chen Ming is obviously a little depressed now, but Li Xiaomei doesn't know where her husband got the blow.

"How old is my husband? How old are my father-in-law, Guan Heze and others? They have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. If they were so easy to deal with, how could they have come to this day?"

"There are many stupid and fat people in this world, but there are definitely some smart and heroic people. The ancients said: Ten people are called heroes, a hundred people are called heroes, a thousand people are called handsome, and ten thousand people are called heroes. Our Ruzhou has four counties and one state with a population of one million. How can there not be a few shrewd and calculating people?"

Li Xiaomei's intuition told her that her man was short of breath because he was frustrated in his calculations of the current situation. So she comforted Chen Ming in this way.

He lowered his head and took a breath on his wife's neck. Seeing that Li Xiaomei's ears suddenly turned red, Chen Ming laughed muffledly and felt that a lot of the depression in his heart had suddenly dissipated. "Yes, there are always some smart people in the world."

Chen Ming was not really discouraged, but felt that the gap between reality and his expectations was too big. The little bit of his brain he had was used for conspiracies, and he did not have as much insight into everything as he thought. Chen Ming must admit that without breaking the current social system, there is still a certain gap between him and a qualified family heir.

Then study hard!

Chen Ming, who had not prepared to rebel for three to five years, could not break the shackles of society. Since he had to live under the rules of the Qing Dynasty in the future, he could only study hard. He is going to the Yamen. This is cheap daddy's decision.

In three or two months, Yue Wenhai's term will be up. Yue Dazhi County has served two terms in Lushan County. Even if he is still not promoted, he will change his place. Therefore, there will definitely be a change of position of the Lushan County government boss this year. Chen Hui has already revealed his intention, and is planning to let Chen Ming follow him to practice in the county government office. In the eyes of the entire Chen family and Chen Hui, the county government is the place where Chen Ming is truly trained and trained.
