[A brief outline of the subsequent plot and the characters' life stories and endings]

Chen Xian, needless to say, rose to the position of the richest man by combining storytelling with a simple business model from later generations.

Chen Dazhu started out farming at home and eventually became a grain merchant with a national monopoly.

Chen Erzhu will be the future head of the Secretariat and the Cabinet.

Many people could easily see this from the beginning, as well as from the emperor's behavior and the behavior of some officials.

The emperor was a scoundrel, and the officials were treacherous.

There are already signs of the dynasty's impending end.

A group of young people from Qingxia Village, some boisterous teenagers, chose to join the army.

For example, Chen Qingshan's son, Chen Shitou; his neighbor Chen Huzi; and villager Chen Tiechui, after eight years of training and fighting in blood and fire, have gradually gained some real power in the army. Each of them commands 10,000 to 20,000 border troops, which is enough to put some pressure on the imperial court.

Chen Xian wanted to create a Chen family faction.

From a young age, these people are taught about the importance of labor and morality. For example, they are part of Qingxia Village, and no matter how far they go in the future, they must always be filial to their parents.

Chen Xian, through the Fair Party controlled by Ji Mao and Liu Quan, continuously recruited these parents who held real power in the military, making them high-ranking management personnel.

By constantly forming alliances and binding power within the party, new and promising officials are continuously brought in.

Chen Xian lives in seclusion behind the scenes, while Mr. Zhou is the overt figurehead of the Fairness Party.

In eight years, the Fair Trade Party has infiltrated every aspect of people's lives, from clothing and food to housing and transportation.

The gang has 10,000 peripheral members, distributed across 33 provinces nationwide.

There are one thousand core members.

They were distributed in the capital and wealthy prefectural cities.

Through his immense commercial wealth and his manipulation of the scandals surrounding a group of officials in the imperial court, Chen Xian successfully helped a disfavored prince rise to power amidst the impending chaos of the times.

Depose the dog emperor.

During this period.

The entire court is now almost entirely composed of members of the Fairness Party.

Also known as the Chen Family Gang, the Qingxia Gang...

That year, Chen Xian was 43 years old and had completely aged.

That year, when I was thirty-six.

He's truly become a father unexpectedly.

Liniang gave birth to a daughter.

Shuangshuang gave birth to a son.

same year.

Dazhu and Cuihua had a son.

Chen Xian is overjoyed to become a grandfather.

As we get older.

43-year-old Chen Xian became increasingly aware of a problem.

The young emperor is terrified, as the court is now filled with members of the Qingxia Gang.

I am completely a puppet.

The young emperor was afraid.

They secretly train and develop their military overseas.

They developed gunpowder, and achieved considerable success.

Liu Quan is now a staunch supporter of the Fair Trade Party.

Claws and fangs were everywhere.

Popularly known as "Bald Vulture".

Upon receiving the news, Liu Quan's men immediately sought out Chen Xian and Chen Erzhu to discuss the matter.

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the era name to Tianshou.

On a night in the eighth year of Tian Shou.

Under Mr. Zhou's guidance, Erzhuzi participated in the imperial examinations every year in a routine manner.

The ranks of scholar-official, county-level scholar, provincial-level scholar, and imperial examination graduate.

He became the top scholar in the imperial examination, and in the eighth year, with Mr. Zhou's arrangement, he successfully entered the cabinet.

Erzhuzi is now a handsome young man with considerable power.

He exuded the air of someone in a superior position.

A minister in his twenties.

Countless beautiful young ladies from official families and various factions, some with large breasts and long legs, others with petite and delicate figures, others with fair skin and a slender build, still others with a cold and aloof demeanor and a flat chest, and still others with fair skin and a exotic fragrance, were sent to his bed, study, and backyard.

He scolded them all.

Rumors circulated that the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was fond of men.

Even Chen Xian couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and asked, "Second brother, it's fine if you don't get married, but why don't you find a woman to serve you? There are rumors going around outside, and your father is a little worried. You... are you really a homosexual?"

Erzhuzi calmly said, "Our family hasn't completely settled down yet."

The little emperor seems obedient now, but who knows when he might turn on you!

I could never waste my time on women. Women can undermine one's will. For a young man like me to test my willpower is to challenge my weakness.

I will not allow anyone to choke the Chen family!

I spent a lot of time with Chen Xian.

The whole family speaks with the same mannerisms as Chen Xian.

Upon hearing this...

Chen Xian was slightly dazed.

It seems like I said this many years ago.

The second brother seems to have said the same thing.

Chen Xian sighed inexplicably, put his hands behind his back, looked old-fashioned, and said in a somber tone: "Have you not heard that time flies like a galloping horse and the sun and moon are like falling flowers and flowing water? I'm old now, not as ambitious and spirited as young people!"

Ten more days passed.

Liu Quan handed Chen Xian a booklet.

Chen Xian was slightly taken aback.

"Master, this is a booklet given by the second young master. It contains a woman's birth date and time, as well as a drawing. Is the second young master going to get married?"

Chen Xian was slightly taken aback. "This?"

Liu Quan's forehead showed wrinkles, and he chuckled dryly, "The second young master said that he'll consider it as him marrying into the family, and he won't be openly marrying a wife for the time being!"

What does it mean?

Chen Xian opened the booklet.

The painting reveals extremely fine brushwork techniques.

Chen Xian fell into deep thought.

A slight smile.

This technique was created by that refugee back then, I think his name was Ma Liang.

Who would have thought that this person would win a major award for anime and manga characters with their exquisite brushstrokes?

Founder of a sect.

Nothing more.

It seems this person's painting style is too erotic.

It's so meticulous that even the smallest strand of hair is exquisite.

Yes, that's right, it's the kind of detail you're thinking of.
