Chapter 239 Return to the Imperial Capital
The village is in the mountains and cannot be reached by horse-drawn carriage.
Fortunately, Lao Ma brought a lot of strong men with him this time. Two of them carried a wooden box and placed it steadily in the yard.
Chen Changan saw Eunuch Jing wearing ordinary people's clothes in the crowd.
He was very surprised and was about to say hello to Eunuch Jing, but Eunuch Jing shook his head and signaled Chen Changan to finish the important matters first.
Old Ma came over and reported the progress: "Master, as you said, I rushed to the bank and delivered your handwritten letter."
"Sun Jingyi immediately made a batch of cloth bags in accordance with your request for three consecutive days."
"This is a sample, please take a look."
Chen Changan took the cloth bag, which was red in color and had Lin Daddy’s Seasoning embroidered on it.
Lao Ma opened a few bags, which were filled with bags.
Chen Changan then nodded to the villagers: "Look, isn't this good? If you fill a bag like this, you can get one or two taels of silver."
The villagers still shook their heads, what’s the use of cloth bags?
The key is to have money. If you don’t see the money, who will work for you?
Old Ma saw what the villagers were thinking and laughed: "You guys are so silly and cute."
"What does money mean to Master Chen?"
"Look, the first batch of funds, one million silver coins!"
Lao Ma waved his hand, and many big men walked up to the box and suddenly opened it!
wow...
A ray of light shot up into the sky. Everyone saw it and saw clearly that the dozens of large boxes were filled with silver!
A box of white silver was slowly opened, shining brightly in the sun!
Each silver ingot exudes a cold metallic luster, and the delicate patterns tell of their value!
The light is so dazzling that once your eyes are caught, it is difficult to look away!
Many villagers are going crazy!
They had never seen so much money before; even if they sold all their ancestors they still couldn’t do that!
Everyone's breathing was completely rapid!
Old Ma was obviously very pleased with the shock he caused: "Are you crazy for such a small amount of money?"
"That look is just like the white-eyed tiger with hanging forehead that was killed by the hunter Lin!"
"Let me tell you, Father Lin's seasoning has caused a sensation in Baidi. Right now we are accepting orders for up to 100,000 bags!"
"As long as it tastes good, money is not a problem!"
The villagers stared blankly at the silver, then at the piles of spices...
I don’t know who let out a howl like a wild beast, took the cloth bag, and started stuffing things into it frantically!
One bag is worth one tael of silver!
One or two!
Two taels!
Three taels!
This is fucking better than hunting!
When someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.
All the villagers rushed forward and frantically filled the bags with seasonings.
"This time I believe it! Mr. Chen, you are not injured and stranded here, it is because of the will of heaven. You are the God of Wealth!"
"Mr. Chen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you!"
"Sir, please don't leave. Stay in our village. We beg you!"
Lin the Hunter and Lin Kuer were also busy packing seasonings, and there was a different kind of look in their eyes when they looked at Chen Changan.
Only then did Hunter Lin realize that Chen Changan was actually a rich man!
As long as Lin Kuer marries him, even as a concubine, it is better than suffering with him!
Yes, that’s what I said!
Hunter Lin made a decision in his heart and was about to have a good talk with Chen Changan, but he saw Eunuch Jing walking up to Chen Changan.
Eunuch Jing's voice was filled with resentment: "My Lord, can I read the Emperor's decree now?"
When Hunter Lin heard this, he immediately stepped back!
He looked at Chen Changan tremblingly, his face full of disbelief.
Prince Consort?
Chen Changan is actually the prince consort?
Oh my God, how is this possible?
But just when Hunter Lin was hesitating, Eunuch Jing took out a yellow imperial edict from his arms and shouted in a shrill voice.
"Imperial decree!"
"The number one scholar and the consort Chen Changan accepts the order!"
Hearing Eunuch Jing's words, Lao Ma and all the people he brought with him knelt down in an orderly manner.
The villagers who were rushing to pack seasonings were also stunned.
Chen Changan, Chen Changan...
Oh my God, isn’t that the name of the new top scholar?
The people naturally know!
Could this be Mr. Chen?
There was horror in everyone's eyes as they watched Chen Changan kneel down in front of the imperial edict and speak respectfully.
"Your Highness, Chen Changan, accepts your order!"
He is really the top scholar!
All the villagers opened their mouths wide, they had spent half a month with the number one scholar!
How dare I think about this!
Eunuch Jing opened the imperial edict and read it in front of all the villagers.
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
Chen Changan was captured by the Red Flower Society for some reason, and I feel uneasy.
After *** returned to the court, he immediately wanted to cancel the engagement with you. I was very angry!
Marriage is a serious matter, and I have personally granted it. How can it be treated as a joke?
I also heard that you did not take national affairs as your own responsibility, and instead of returning to the court immediately after you recovered from the snake venom, you made trouble with a group of villagers!
I have specially sent Eunuch Jing to bring you back to the court for punishment!
Admire this! "
Chen Changan sighed.
Sure enough, even though *** told the emperor that she wanted to cancel the engagement, the emperor did not agree.
Forget it. After experiencing life and death, Chen Changan knows that life is more important.
"Your humble servant Chen Chang'an obeys the order. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"
Chen Changan could only accept the imperial edict.
After Eunuch Jing finished delivering the imperial edict, she shook her head and chuckled, "Master Chen, you don't need to be overly nervous. The emperor is just angry that you didn't return to the court. Everything will be fine once you return."
Chen Changan didn't say anything, and Eunuch Jing looked around at the hunters again: "Who is Hunter Lin?"
Hunter Lin was trembling all over, his body was shaking slightly: "Little, little old man, what do you want from your superior?"
Eunuch Jing waved his hand, and a big man came over with a tray of silver.
"I am just a eunuch, how can I be a superior official?"
"*** said that you have made great contributions in saving Chen Changan. Since she doesn't have as much money as Chen Changan, she will reward you with 50,000 taels of silver."
"This village will be exempted from taxes for a hundred years. This is her intention."
Fifty thousand silver coins, 100 years of tax exemption!
A look of horror appeared on Hunter Lin's face. This was a great blessing from heaven!
And this is not just for Lin the Hunter, all the villagers will have a share!
"Long live the princess, long live the princess, long live the princess!"
Amidst the roar of the mountains and the sea, all the villagers had happy expressions on their faces.
Seeing that the matter was over, Chen Changan took Lin the Hunter's hand, shook his head and said, "Uncle Lin, thank you for taking care of me these days. I have to return to the capital as soon as possible because of the emperor's order."
"Don't worry about the seasoning. I'll have someone take care of it. You can take the rest of the money as capital."
The villagers clamored for tens of thousands of taels of silver to be distributed. Looking at the millions of silver lying there, Hunter Lin kept gritting his teeth.
"Master Chen, are you sure you can give me the money? I have never seen so much money in my life!"
Chen Changan patted the hunter Lin's shoulder and laughed, "Uncle Lin saved my life. How can I not trust Uncle Lin?"
"Ku'er is my sister. I will definitely help her realize her wish."
Chen Changan spoke solemnly, and Lin Kuer looked shy.
After following Eunuch Jing down the mountain, Chen Changan sat in the carriage and clasped his fists towards all the villagers.
"Fellow villagers, thank you for your kindness. Chen Changan will leave first."
"The mountains remain green and the waters flow forever. I hope you will work diligently and make the village flourish!"
Chen Changan waved at the crowd, and many villagers immediately knelt by the roadside.
"Master Chen, please walk slowly!"
"Come back to the village when you have time. We'll eat tiger meat and drink tiger wine!"
"Master Chen..."
