Beside the Jinliang Bridge and the Bianhe River, there are tall locust trees and weeping willows, and the clear waves are sparkling.
In the bustling and bustling city of Bianjing, this two- to three-mile-long river is truly a rare place of tranquility amidst the bustle, hiding away from the city.
On both sides of the river, there are courtyards of wealthy families, with the Wutou Gate and the high courtyard wall all day long, and there are endless music and music. The latest one is the outer house built by Chen Ke.
When Cui Bai, a master gardener, asked Chen Ke what kind of garden he wanted to build, Chen Ke did not answer directly. Instead, he wrote two lines of poetry in his reply: "The moon is melting in the pear flower courtyard, and the breeze is gentle in the catkin pond."
With these fourteen words, this courtyard will be turned into a private garden with exquisite poetic layout and light and simple taste.
It covers an area of only nine acres. It adapts to local conditions and pursues charm and poetry. It does not adopt the traditional vertical layout and is built horizontally. Entering the gate and passing the screen wall is the sedan hall used to receive guests, discuss matters, and worship ancestors and get married.
, the teahouse and the main hall consist of a three-entry outer house with strict layout, in line with the status of the owner as a court official. There are also ten east and west wing rooms, which are used by servants and guards to stay on duty.
Passing through a moon gate is the atrium, with magnolia and ginkgo planted in front of it, which is vigorous and simple, with a rockery and flower pond, and winding paths leading to seclusion. It uses only a few words, but it is fascinating and connects nature. It is a natural transition between the inner and outer houses.
Go further east and pass through the hanging flower gate to reach the inner house. It is bounded by a lotus pond in the middle. There are four small buildings in the east, west, south and north. There are double corridors between the buildings. The masters can move around each other without going downstairs. The downstairs is where the maids and servants live.
Residence.
From the inner house to the east is the garden, which is also the essence of the whole garden. It is dusk at this time. In the garden, the tall locust trees and weeping willows are all hanging with the afterglow. The reeds in the pond are gradually turning white, and the rhizomes are green. The autumn colors are mellow, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Little sister and Yue
E accompanied Chen Ke as he strolled through the garden, facing the jagged pavilions in the dusk and the luxuriant trees and flowers dotted around the small bridge and flowing water. She couldn't help but feel intoxicated and forgetful of worries.
"It's so beautiful here. Is this our home?" Su Xiaomei took Chen Ke's arm and asked softly.
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said, "As long as we are in the capital for one day, we will live here."
"Where is the martial arts arena?" Liu Yue'e was concerned about this.
"Don't worry, there will be no martial arts field without anything." Chen Ke said with a smile: "Behind the bushes, there is a martial arts field and a martial arts training room, which is enough for you to vent your endless energy rain or shine."
"You're itchy again." Liu Yue'e glared.
"A three-hundred-round battle?" Chen Ke chuckled.
Liu Yue'e immediately blushed and glanced at Su Xiaomei. Seeing that she didn't understand, she gave him a sharp look.
The three of them walked around a clump of green bamboos, stepped onto a path paved with green bricks, and approached the main building in the garden, the Tuisi Tower. They saw Du Qingshuang, Zuo Jiande, Zhou Dingkun, and a group of Japanese maidens, servants, and servants in the house.
The guards, more than a hundred of them, were already waiting in front of the building.
Du Qingshuang stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, the two grandmothers, except for a few gatekeepers, everyone is here."
Chen Ke nodded with satisfaction and walked into the door of Tuisi Building. The word "Tuisi" comes from "Zuo Zhuan", "When you enter and think, you will be loyal, and when you retreat, you will make up for your mistakes."
Meaning. Chen Ke named the tallest pavilion in his house after this, hoping to be able to reflect soberly and not be careless.
The building has three floors. The ground floor has seven couplets, which is used for banquets and meetings. The winding sill corridor on the second floor has many orchid-scented secret rooms for resting after enjoying the garden and banquets. The third floor plays music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Luding Zunyi has everything, making it a place for the whole family to enjoy and have fun.
At this moment, Chen Ke was sitting in front of the huanghuali wood relief "Ten thousand miles of sea and sky are one color". The two ladies sat on the left and right, and Du Qingshuang also followed in and stood nearby.
Chen Ke did not let her sit down, but calmly said to the people outside the door: "Today is the first day for our family to start anew. Although there is a plaque on the wall saying 'A Harmony', there is no rule without rules.
Everyone gathers here and makes three family rules. First, beware of talking too much. As the saying goes, 'everything in the family will be prosperous', anyone who stirs up trouble and sows dissension will not be tolerated in our Chen family. Second, keep secrets. Everything in the house should be kept secret.
No matter how big or small you are, you must not talk to outsiders. Anyone who leaks the situation in my house, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will be punished as treason."
"Three, listen to the orders. All affairs in the inner house are in charge of the two ladies, and Aunt Du is in charge. Their words are my words. You must obey them. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it with the two ladies afterwards." After finishing speaking,
, he said slowly: "Did you hear everything clearly?"
"You heard me clearly." Everyone responded in unison.
"Next, Aunt Du will help the two ladies to get acquainted with your family members." Chen Ke looked at Du Qingshuang and said.
"Yes." Du Qingshuang asked a group of guards to come in first. When Chen Ke left Dali, he took a total of 300 guards with him to protect his family and important people. There were 45 guards in the villa.
, fifteen of them are on duty, and the other thirty are in front of them.
The five leaders, Chen Yi, Chen Zhong, Chen Xin, Chen Cheng, and Chen Yong, saluted the ladies, introduced their respective duties, and then led the crowd to leave.
Du Qingshuang, also known as thirty-six Japanese women, came in. According to Chen Ke's intention of "only using overseas people around him", they will be responsible for the daily life of the masters.
Arou and Acai introduced everyone's names to the mistresses, and then led everyone to salute together. After half a year of training, they were no different from Han girls, but they still retained unconditional obedience.
"Their thirty-six people will be reassigned by you." Chen Ke looked at his younger sister and Yue'e and said, "I obey unconditionally."
After the Japanese girls went down, twenty people including servants, wives, cooks, coachmen, and handymen came forward, introduced themselves one by one, and then bowed and left.
At this time, only Zuo Jiande, Zhou Dingkun and Shiba were left outside.
Du Qingshuang invited them in, then closed the door and went out to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Meet Madam." These twenty people are not from the house, but are responsible for taking care of Chen Ke's property outside. Chen Ke is now focusing all his energy on political affairs and has no time to ask about these things, so he used the wedding to
, summoned the eighteen stewards to Beijing, and pushed the younger sister and Liu Yuee to the front desk.
In fact, Du Qingshuang has been taking care of everything in the house in an orderly manner, and Chen Ke also intends to let her continue to take care of it. In the future, Xiaomei and Yue'e will still focus on these industries.
Liu Yue'e protested that she was not interested in these things. Chen Ke was noncommittal and just asked her to listen and then talk.
The people of Yizileye are indeed a born business people. Wherever Chen Ke goes, they will take his business wherever he goes. Unknowingly, they have built a huge business empire.
So, everyone began to introduce themselves. Among them, Zuo Jiande and Zhou Dingkun were the leaders of the north and south. One was in charge of Bianjing and the industries in the north, and the other was in charge of the business in the south.
Among the eighteen stewards, nine are from Yizhi Leye and nine are from Shu. The Shu people are all loyal and reliable children of the Qingshen Financial Group. Every property owned by Chen Ke is headed by one from Yizhi Leye and one from Shu. People jointly manage.
Li Deyong and Chen Jian represented Chen Ke and exercised power in Bianjing Qianhao.
Bai Wenyong and Zhou Cheng represented Chen Ke and exercised power in Sihai Company.
Zhou Dingqian and Cai Shouzhong were in charge of the construction of Qinzhou Port.
Zuo Chengye and Chen Shan were responsible for the construction of Sado Island.
Li Chengye and Chai Shide opened a business in Tamna and were responsible for trade with Goryeo and Japan.
Bai Yicheng and Chen Siqi were responsible for the copper foundry in Dongchuan City, Dali.
Zhou Desi and Li Wei are responsible for a series of businesses in Dali City.
Li Jingsi and Qian Qixiang were in charge of business with the Liao Kingdom.
Zhou Wei and Zhao Shoucai are preparing for the Bianjing Football Market business... Our family has so many businesses?" Liu Yue'e felt dizzy just hearing the name: "Then how much money do we have?"
"Reporting to Second Grandma, we have just conducted an accounting," Zhou Dekun reported back: "According to the accounting method taught by your Excellency, the total assets are approximately 11.3 million guan, and the total liabilities are 13 million guan. Therefore, all our The investor's rights and interests are negative 1.7 million yuan."
"Ah..." Liu Yue'e had been hanging out with Chen Ke for a few years. She knew negative numbers and what a balance sheet meant. She was dumbfounded and said: "So, we are actually bankrupt?"
"You can say that." Zhou Dekun said with a bitter smile: "But it's not that bad."
"Because most of our loans are long-term debts." Zuo Jiande said: "As long as the Bianjing Money Account does not withdraw money in advance," he looked at Chen Ke and said, "As long as we start to budget carefully and increase profits from now on, we can still pay interest. of."
Chen Ke knew that these were financial officers expressing their dissatisfaction with their lavish spending. He smiled sheepishly and said: "It is necessary to save money."
"Naturally, necessary expenses must be guaranteed." Zhou Dekun also took the opportunity to criticize: "But there are some unnecessary expenses, you should save them if you can." He spent 50,000 yuan on Chen Ke to buy a luxury house for the Su family and put it in the house. I have always been dissatisfied with the gift of part of the Qingshen Financial Group's equity and the Shisanhangpu real estate to the Liu family. It was difficult to start a business and it was time to cut down on expenditures, but this old man became addicted to pretending to be a good boy.
However, it was related to the two ladies, so he did not dare to say more, so he had to skip to the next section: "Also, we must not expand blindly. If you bite off more than you can chew, you will choke to death. I am not afraid of offending everyone here. , the businesses you are in charge of now do have good prospects, but they should not be done together, they should be done first and then later..." Finally he decided to take action on his subordinates and said: "For example, when it comes to the football market, I am very good at it. I don’t agree. After investing so much money at once, I don’t have the shame to talk to Li Da..."
"Accept criticism sincerely." Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that some businesses are opportunities that can't be missed, and some businesses have to be done. For example, you are the one who proposed this golf market, how can I not do it? "
"My lord, you either don't do it or you don't do it," Zhou Dekun said with a bitter face: "It puts a lot of pressure on my subordinates...divide...there is one more update.
