Chapter 2011 Thinking (Part 2)

Shuzhong, Chengdu Prefecture.

Outside the Chengdu Prefecture City, there is a road thirty miles away from the city, and a group of people are resting on an open space.

Judging from the outfit, this group of people should be the caravan's friends.

However, even ordinary people, the material of their clothes was good, they were linen, and they looked either burly or with some elegance. Around them, there were also a row of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, tied to a tree with more than a dozen horses, which looked very strong.

Next to a carriage, several people sat on the ground. There was a dry grass on the ground, with clean blankets spread on the grass. These people sat on the blankets and chatted in a low voice.

"Brother, you have to be careful when you go to Xiangyang to investigate the situation this time!" A young man with a little thin but very energetic face whispered.

"I heard that Xiangyang is very cautious. Although we have no malice and are just going to explore the news, if we are accidentally arrested as a meticulous act, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry, third brother, this matter is your own measure. Although Xiangyang is very cautious, I have never heard of the harsh criminal law of the King of Chu. I am afraid that some rumors spread by those who are interested are a little exaggerated." The man sitting opposite the young man said with a smile.

This man looked in his thirties, with white face and short beards, and looked elegant. There were two other people sitting next to the man. One was fifty years old and looked like an old pedantic man who had never spoken.

Another one is a man who looks somewhat similar to the previous two. He is wearing a green robe and is about thirty years old.

"Third brother, I have always been a good person in my work. I am good at dancing with my heart. If you and I continue to deal with those people in Chengdu, it will be troublesome." The man in the green robe shook his head and said with a headache.

Before, they had been in Chengdu Prefecture for several months. According to their thoughts, a family like them had connections and material resources. If they entered Chengdu Prefecture and managed it well, they might not be able to take root. However, when they arrived here, they found that although the commerce and trade in Shuzhong were very prosperous, they had already had a large-scale group. If they wanted to integrate into it, it would be easier to have no support from the local government?

The problem is that due to the decline of the Dayan court, the laws were slackened, and the aristocratic family, they were used to doing things privately without being controlled by the government. Otherwise, they would not have been able to easily abandon Wei Yue and easily move the aristocratic family's industries out of Wu.

And when he retreated, he still suffered losses in Wu, and he was even more reluctant to hand over his lifeline to the government.

But as they were in Chengdu Prefecture for a long time, the prosperous economy here really stimulated them to be reluctant to leave.

When it comes to the policy of supporting rural commerce, there is no more open-minded and more suitable for their development than in the territory of the King of Chu. Leaving here and going to others, it may not be able to develop better.

At this time, they had already received news that more than a dozen families who moved from Wu had moved to Shuzhong one after another.

Trade focuses on an opportunity. They first came to Shu, and then continued to do so, which made the later ones have the advantage. It really makes people laugh.

"Although our Chen family is a big family in Wu, they have no foundation in Shu. You have suffered from running around these days." The man with white face and short beard, who was called the eldest brother by the two, sighed and said with a sigh: "If you hadn't made this decision for your brother that day, you would not have made you so embarrassed after following you."

"What is this saying about the eldest brother? Wei Yue forced the emperor to death, and it is a thief that everyone in the world can punish! We have been kind to you for hundreds of years, so how can we do things under such rule? Not to mention that the Chen family is just an ordinary family and has few officials. Even if everyone is an important official in the court, they will not surrender to the thief for glory and wealth."

"Besides, Wei Yue's methods were cruel. Even hundreds of royal family were slaughtered overnight. He was not afraid of the eyes of the world. Our aristocratic families would not make them happy. How could we not lead them to revenge crazy? The decision of the eldest brother that day was very correct. What he saw and heard in the past few months proved that the King of Chu was wise and that the entire Chen family was looking forward to reorganizing the foundation of the Chen family under his rule. Don't blame yourself."

"What the second brother said is that I would like to go to Xiangyang this time and take care of myself. We will also be careful in Chengdu Prefecture." The two of them hurriedly expressed their opinions.

Seeing this, the eldest among the Chen brothers finally nodded.

Looking at the sky, he said, "It's getting late, it's time to rush for a while. Let's leave me when I wait for my brother."

As he said that, he stood up and asked the people around him to get up and prepare to rush forward.

When the carriage and horses are ready, the guys get on the horse, the guys get on the carriage, and the three brothers say their final goodbye.

"Don't worry about the two younger brothers. Xiangyang is not far from Chengdu Prefecture, and they are both ruled by the King of Chu. There will be no problems along the way. The King of Chu is generous and even if he cannot give preferential treatment, he will not make things difficult for his brother. You are waiting for good news in Chengdu Prefecture!" The elder brother of the Chen family waved his hand and said.

"Of course, my elder brother will definitely succeed!"

"It will definitely go smoothly when you go this time!" the two brothers nodded.

In all major families, although there have been many cases of brothers fighting and severing flesh and blood, there are many brothers who work together to break gold.

A family is not such a simple thing. The prosperity of a family is directly related to the status of everyone in the family and in the eyes of others.

One loss will bring prosperity to the other.

The three brothers of the Chen family are all legitimate brothers of the same father and mother. The three have their own strengths and have a good relationship since childhood. When they grew up, their father died early. The three of them rose rapidly within the Chen family. With the joint efforts of the three, they calmed down the clan's remarks that the three were still young and were not enough to take charge of the family. They became one of the top power members in the family. They should not be underestimated.

In comparison, although the Wu family may be stronger than the Chen family in terms of strength, it is slightly worse than the centripetal force within the family.

"At most two months, you can return for your brother. During this period, the family will be managed by two younger brothers." The elder brother of the Chen family bowed to the two and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, take care of yourself all the way!"

"Take care all the way!"

The two of them bowed to the elder brother and said.

The elder brother of the Chen family got on the carriage, and the team began to move slowly. The guards urged the mount to protect the carriage of the Chen family. Such a caravan was heading towards Jingzhou.

Almost before the team was fully moved, a fast horse came from the direction of Chengdu Prefecture. The horse was knighted and looked at the outfit. He was the servant of the Chen family.

"Master!" The knight immediately urged the horse to come over. At this time, he also saw his own team in front and rushed over.

"Second Master, Third Master! Where is the eldest master? There are urgent reports about other families!"

"Brother hasn't walked away yet, please urge the horse to chase him!" the second brother said quickly.

The knight urged the horse again and ran forward.

Soon, I saw the carriage protected by the guards. At this time, the chief of the Chen family also heard the call from behind and stopped the team.

"Master!" The servant urged the horse to approach the carriage, flew off the horse, and crawled on the ground.

"Master, I just got the news that the Liu family, Zhang family, Chang family and Hu family have sent people to Xiangyang. They all walked from other small roads, and I am afraid they don't want the Chen family to know!" The servant said quickly.

"Liu family, Zhang family, Chang family and Hu family?" When he heard what the servant said, the chief of the Chen family moved and his face darkened.

At this time, the two brothers of the Chen family also rushed over and looked solemn when they learned about this.

"Brother, it seems that they want to pay homage to the King of Chu in front of the Chen family and get the opportunity!" said the second child of the Chen family.

But for a moment, the boss of the Chen family smiled softly and said, "Let them go, this is a matter of everyone competing for opportunities."

"Brother..."

"If you go back, you don't have to pay attention to this matter. As long as you hurry up, you won't let them get ahead. When you go back, the Chen family must prepare in advance."

"Brother said, I will prepare it in advance." After hearing the elder brother's words, the other two brothers looked at each other and said at the same time.

The boss of the Chen family got on the carriage again and ordered the team to continue moving forward.

The team disappeared so much that it was out of sight, and others turned back to Chengdu City.

Information was handed over to different people in several houses in Chengdu Prefecture.

"The Chen family also sent someone to Xiangyang? It's really lively now." Someone sighed.

"Yes, now that Shu, Jing and Jiaozhou have been under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu, the world has already gained two points. If you get the initiative, the general trend will be successful, so you naturally can't bear it and go to surrender. Could it be that you are still waiting for the Southern Dingli to surrender?"

"That's right!"

Xiangyang City. Zhang Mansion

In the late autumn and winter sunshine, several personal soldiers lined up to patrol the mansion.

According to the royal system, the fifth rank already has personal soldiers, and is listed as the first fire (ten people) for protection. There are fifteen people in the fourth rank, twenty people in the third rank, thirty people in the second rank, and fifty people in the first rank.

Zhang Youzhi is now a fifth-rank official, so he has a fire of personal soldiers. Because he travels to and from the imperial city, he does not need too many personal soldiers, so he stays most of them in the mansion to guard the palace.

Of course, unlike the title ministers, these personal soldiers are owned by rank. Once the official position is removed, they will be gone. Only with titles can one be considered as having a family general.

A fire-long man with a long sword, watching vigilantly from a distance.

Zhang Minzhi was drinking tea, but he was thinking in his heart.

The Song family was highly valued by the King of Chu and began to establish customs, which has been confirmed.

Is this a big deal or a small deal?

Zhang Minzhi's eyes were faint. Is this the beginning of the king's reuse of the aristocratic family?

The first point is that Wang Hongyi used to have shallow foundation and many families waited and watched. Now the power has been established, and it is time to invest.

Secondly, there are few poor people who read books. Although there are playboys in aristocratic families due to their environment, financial and material resources, there are definitely many people with talent and learning, and even more.

If the King of Chu wants to go further, he will inevitably win over many talents for his own use. This is an inevitable thing.

In this case, there will probably be many families who will be reused.

Zhang Minzhi thought about something and planned to help Zhang Youzhi go further.
