"Have the Zhu family sent me the letter?" Chen Zhi laughed, "It's just right, just starting from the Zhu family's business."

He pondered for a moment and said to Chen Duo: "Go and arrange some of the major families in Dai County, and said that I would hold a dinner tomorrow night to thank them for their help in the reconstruction of Dai County."

When Chen Duo and Chen Zi said this, they were both stunned, while the latter frowned.

Chen Zhi glanced at Chen Zi and said, "This group of people has been paying attention to my movements these days. I want to know what my attitude towards contacting Wang Quan is, so it is difficult to feel at ease. Therefore, they will definitely not refuse my invitation. However, as the prefect, I have to have a more or less legitimate reason to invite local tribes. Just as the Huns retreated and the restoration of Dai County, several families have made some efforts. Although it is better than nothing, it is an excuse."

After saying this, he said to Chen Duo: "By the way, remember to call them the young heroes in their family. In order to develop in the future, it is inevitable that the new generation of R&F who are strong in the past are needed to contribute. I have to get familiar with them first."

Chen Duo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes, then stepped back.

Chen Zhi took Chen Zi to his study room.

Soon, a maid came over to serve tea.

Chen Zi was not polite, so he sat down and tasted it, and then said, "Brother, once the news of your banquet is released, I am afraid that several families will not be able to rest tonight, and few people can have a stable sleep." In private, there was no one else, and his tone changed.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Qiao Xing, you should know that these things are the same as marching and fighting. The real ones are false, and the real ones are true. They plotted against me. I will let them spend more time first, which is the interest collected in advance."

"Since it was collected in advance, there must be a lot of money in the future, and they must pay it," Chen Zi said bluntly. "But the most urgent task is not to punish these families, but how to resist the coming war. The prefect told us before that Tuoba Yulu could testify, and they were willing to form an alliance with us. Whether it could be established or not, three thousand people would be sent in advance as a guarantee, and we should start preparing for the reception. Then, in addition to these people, what we should prepare for is the chaos we analyzed before."

Chen Zhi nodded and signaled Chen Zi to continue.

"I won't repeat what I've analyzed before, but in the face of danger, simply closing the city gate is not necessarily a good choice, because we also need to inform the Huns," Chen Zi's expression became serious, "They will definitely seize the opportunity to invade and must deal with it in advance."

"This is exactly what I want to tell you," Chen Zhi also closed his smile and said seriously: "This time the people sent out to buy pillars and Vine Leaf will be transported back in the form of a convoy, but in these convoys, in addition to the things needed for papermaking, there are also some military artifacts, as well as iron ore and copper mines, and there will be special people responsible for escorting them until they arrive in Dai County."

"So that's it. It's true that he was secretly experiencing Chen Cang," Chen Zi's eyes lit up, "Prince, you insist on making paper in order to confuse others?"

"I really want to increase output for Dai County, but this does not prevent me from using him to achieve other goals at the same time," Chen Zhi still had no smile on his face. "Dai County, or Youzhou, has too many uncertainties. If I want to prepare, I have to hide some trump cards. At present, Dai County has mainly concentrated in Wang Quan's hands. Even if the servants sent to the south in the future have been trained and have combat effectiveness, they will still fall into a disadvantage without proper equipment. However, Dai County does not have the conditions to produce its own weapons at the moment, so they can only be purchased through money."

Chen Zi asked with the flow: "I also want to know, are these things all your money out of your own pocket, brother?"

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Whether the workshop or the servants are all things of the Chen family. Of course, the government cannot be allowed to invest, that is, there is no distinction between public and private. Moreover, the problem of the aristocratic families lies in their privileges, so the authority of the government is difficult to restrict them. Then they can use poison to fight the poison, break out of this limitation, and start a new situation. After all, I am here not to hope to stand firm for the court in Dai County. If that is the case, as long as I transfer me away, everything in Dai County will return to its old view. Before I came, my uncle told me that to make the Chen family gain a foothold here. Since this is the case, these investments must be controlled by the Chen family."

What Chen Zhi wanted to do was to suppress the aristocratic families in Dai County, which seemed to introduce the Chen family, or take root himself, and then expand his power, which was completely different. But what he actually wanted to do was to lead the situation by himself, and not arouse the disgust of the entire world class, at least in the early stage, when accumulating strength, this would be the case.

Then, if you use the gameplay of aristocratic families to squeeze the space of other aristocratic families, even if someone criticizes them, you won’t think that Chen Zhi wants to dig out their roots.

Moreover, compared with the imperial order system, it was obvious that the orders of the aristocratic families were easier to implement in the New Han Dynasty.

"Of course, the Chen family still has a lot to do now, and there is a more layout in the Luoyang central center. Uncle Chen Die went to Shuzhong and also made plans and used money. Therefore, I took out this money from my own industry. At most, I borrowed some of the uncles from Pengcheng, and they trusted me, so the reason was to follow my arrangements."

Chen Zi said silently, and finally nodded, saying, "I understand, I will go over and adjust it in the center."

"Then just pretend that everything is foolproof," Chen Zhi smiled again. "What I fear most about this secret matter is that things are not confidential. If you are exposed, you will be in charge. You will be worry-free." The time spent together during this period was enough to understand Chen Zi's ability.

But then Chen Zi said: "However, many people in the Daijun family know my origin. If someone pays attention to my departure, they may have to doubt it and investigate it carefully, and there will be a risk of exposure."

"Your worries are good, but you don't have to worry too much," Chen Zhi smiled slightly. "If I made paper just a cover, of course I would be suspected. But Brother Wei really wants to make good paper and can make good paper. There is no way to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood. When they see it, they will naturally know, Qiao Xing, please look..."

While speaking, Chen Zhi took out the two pieces of paper and presented them to Chen Zi.

Suddenly, Chen Zi, who was originally cautious, suddenly his pupils dilated. He looked at the paper in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Then he subconsciously reached out his hand, touched it gently, and quickly put it back.

"Good stuff! What a good stuff!"

Chen Zi is also well-read in poetry and calligraphy, and has accomplished calligraphy. Martial arts love weapons and literati love calligraphy. How could this person who can write a few good words and not like paper that is worthy of good words?

Chen Zi was no exception. He was surprised for a while. He raised his head, showed admiration and asked, "This paper..."

"How about this paper?" Chen Zhi asked with a smile.

Chen Zi nodded heavily and said, "The best quality paper! It is thin and transparent, smooth and white, like the moonlight shining on the ground, frost falls into the mortal world, and Zi only saw it in his life!"

Before, Li Li said that he had never seen such a good paper, but with his identity, there were not many opportunities to see it, so Chen Zi was different. He followed Chen Yong, chatting and laughing, and having no contact with each other. He had no idea how high his vision was. Most of the objects he had seen were rare things, but he also gave such an evaluation, which showed the quality of this paper!

This is also normal, because according to historical development, such papermaking technology will not be revealed until dozens or hundreds of years later, and it will be taken out by Chen Zhi in advance. This huge generation difference is enough to cause such a shock.

"I only know now why my brother was so confident before," Chen Zi shook his head and sighed, "In today's world, the famous powerful and rich man often made a name for fighting things and comparing wealth. The calligraphy of famous masters, the paintings of the past, or the lonely books of the world are often used to compare and show their identity. In addition, the treasures of the Western Regions, overseas objects, production in the south, etc., but everything else does not have, and they will be used to show off. The paper of the brothers is the best in the world. The paper of the other paper is incomparable and cannot be replaced. It is a rare thing. Once it appears, it is known to famous scholars and powerful people, and it will definitely make a flirtatious!"

Chen Zhi nodded with a smile and suddenly asked again: "What if there is a second article, what about the great academic ceremony?"

Chen Zi was stunned and took a breath.

Chen Zhi shook his head again and said, "This paper is only for me who sends it from the south. There are many twists and turns in the north and south transportation, and it may be difficult to produce in a short period of time." His words are not entirely true. Dai County also has alternatives, but in order to prepare in advance, it is necessary to make a transportation rack for the north and south transportation, which is convenient for the convenience of doing things. By the way, the white paper is fryed into futures.

Chen Zi was stunned again. When he understood the key, his eyes widened, and finally sighed and bowed, thinking to the forgery.

After discussing this matter, Chen Zhi left Chen Zi to have dinner at home. The two talked about the matter at home. Then Chen Zi mentioned the words sent by the Zhu family.

"I promised Mr. Zhu before lunch and wrote a copy of the words for him. Now I just fulfilled my promise," Chen Zhi laughed. "Actually, he sent it here at this time to test my attitude. It was mentioned earlier. After they came into contact with Wang Quan, they were unsure and didn't know how I view this matter."

Chen Zi on the opposite side wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.

But Chen Zhi said, "Qiao Xing, what do you have to say? You can tell the truth."

Chen Zi thought about it and finally said: "There are several big families who have tried their best to look at their elder brother's attitude, and then decide to stay or stay. Whether they depend on Wang Quan or surrender to their elder brother is still uncertain, and in the long run, the possibility of relying on their elder brother is more high."

"If someone competes with me, they can wait for the price," Chen Zhi shook his head, "Who to whom I surrender in the end depends on who gives me more benefits, and if the negotiations break down, who can cause greater losses to them. From these two perspectives, even if we can win over the aristocratic family, we must pay a great price, which is equivalent to giving the future to the aristocratic family for judgment. Whatever you have to do must be discussed with them before you can decide."

Chen Zi really wanted to say that this is all good. Being a prefect for a few years, then patting his butt and moving to the center is the right path for the official career. If you keep hanging around, how can you gain power and benefit the Chen family?

But thinking of Chen Zhi’s actions these days, Chen Zi still kept these words in his stomach. Since he was sent to assist, he must do his best.

After a meal, Chen Zi said goodbye and went back and made preparations.

The next day, he went out of the city with a team of people.

The team leaving the city made a lot of noise, and when people in the city saw it, someone spread it.
