Chapter 13: Fighting Wits and Courage (II)
After listening to Shi Qingcheng's perfect narration, Zhen Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, felt a surge in his heart, and at the same time once again vaguely felt that his final decision might be related to the final fate of the Zhen family in the future.
Indeed, Wang Tianjie moved Zhen Yi with practical actions and Shi Qingcheng's narration, but after all, Zhen Yi has experienced all kinds of ups and downs, and these alone are not enough to make Zhen Yi make up his mind.
However, as Shi Qingcheng said, this may be an extraordinary opportunity for the Zhen family, so Zhen Yi constantly weighs the pros and cons in his heart.
Seeing Zhen Yi's hesitation for a while, Wang Tianjie and Shi Qingcheng glanced at each other, and the two knew that these alone were not enough for the shrewd Zhen Yi to make the final decision, but they had already achieved the expected results.
Now that the first step has been a complete success, it's time for the next step.
Shi Qingcheng spoke again: "Uncle, as the saying goes: time, geography, and people, if you can occupy one of them, you can achieve a great cause, and if you get the other, you can achieve a great cause." What's more, my husband is blessed with three of them? ”
"Oh? Niece, you have to say that Tianjie occupies people and uncles to believe, this is also the place that uncle likes the most, but I don't know how to occupy the time and geography? Zhen Yi asked very curiously when he heard this.
Shi Qingcheng smiled slightly, as if a spacious hall was lit up, and everyone was as comfortable as a spring breeze, "Uncle, when it comes to heaven, the current court is extremely corrupt, which makes all the princes begin to support their own troops, and they have lost the hearts of the people, and the world is about to be in chaos, and the Yellow Turban Riot is its best symbol."
As the saying goes: "Current events make heroes". In the face of the era of imminent chaos, doesn't this provide a good time for my husband? ”
When Zhen Yi heard Shi Qingcheng's words that things made heroes at that time, his eyes burst with appreciation again, and he kept savoring this sentence, and finally smiled: "Current affairs make heroes, my niece said it well!"
Okay, so that's the time of the day, but what does geography say? ”
Shi Qingcheng turned his head to Lu Zhen and said, "Sister Zhen'er, take out the things." ”
Lu Zhen immediately took out the things that had been prepared, only to see that it was a small piece of fine silk and handed it to Shi Qingcheng.
And Zhen Yi looked at this piece of silk curiously, wondering what the purpose of this thing would be?
"Uncle, please see that this is the map that my husband wants to lead the people to go to the new homeland at all costs."
"Oh! Let me see. Zhen Yi said immediately when he heard this. If a person wants to achieve great things, he must have a territory of his own, and this is the key, otherwise everything else is just empty talk. This is also the key to why Zhen Yi has been unable to make up his mind to support Wang Tianjie.
Although it is said that it is turbulent today, it can be said that it has been basically divided up by the princes of all places, is there still a place that Zhen Yi does not know, and is it really so superior?
Only by figuring these out can we decide whether to bet heavily on Wang Tianjie.
After giving the map to Zhen Yi, Zhen Yi couldn't wait to watch it carefully.
"Uncle, this place was discovered by my husband when he traveled north and south of the river, and he made a detailed investigation.
Uncle, please see, although this place seems to be barren outside the Guan, it is not, not only does it have a vast plain, but it also has extremely fertile land. It can be said that as long as there is a seed, if it is sown, food will grow.
Because the soil of this land is black, my husband calls it "black soil". "Although I didn't go to investigate it as Shi Qingcheng said, in modern times, I am very familiar with Liaodong and the three northeastern provinces.
"Black earth?" Zhen Yi asked in disbelief.
"Not bad. Uncle, this is just one of them, and behold, this vast plain is surrounded by several large mountain ranges.
Since most of this area was not within the territory of the Han Dynasty, no one named these mountain ranges. Therefore, in order to make it easier to remember, my husband named these mountain ranges.
You can see that the north end is called the Little Xing'an Mountains, the west is the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the east is the Changbai Mountain. And these tall mountains effectively blocked the invasion of many nomadic peoples such as the powerful Xiongnu in the northwest. It is precisely because of this that this vast and fertile land has formed a vacuum zone, which is uninhabited.
And the border with the Central Plains is only in the south, the future can take advantage of the superior geographical terrain, it can be said: retreat can be defended and attacked!
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this place is a "paradise" for the people, and it is an excellent place to achieve great things!
Uncle, isn't this taking up geography? Shi Qingcheng, who has long been familiar with the three northeastern provinces, explained one by one. Again, in order not to reveal that they are from the future world. Therefore, the credit for naming these mountain ranges was grafted to Wang Tianjie.
After listening to Shi Qingcheng's explanations one by one, and looking at the detailed map drawn on the silk, Zhen Yi's heart turned up a huge wave, as Shi Qingcheng said, then this place is definitely an excellent place to achieve a great cause, and even achieve an imperial cause. If that's really the case, then .......
Zhen Yi's hands began to tremble slightly, this was something that had never happened before.
With this map, Zhen Yi already had a faint decision in his heart. However, it is necessary to think carefully about it. After all, this is related to the future of the Zhen family, and it is really a big deal, and it is unlikely that it will be a catastrophe!
"Uncle, do you really want to sacrifice the happiness of Mi'er's sister in her life in exchange for the temporary development of the Zhen family?" Seeing the change in Zhen Yi's expression, Shi Qingcheng suddenly said in shock.
"How do you know, niece?" Zhen Yi was taken aback, but a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
Shi Qingcheng still smiled and said, "Uncle, a woman like Mi'er's sister who is talented and beautiful, you can't let people know it." As for how Qingcheng knows, it is a person who knows a little bit about the Zhen family, and it is not difficult to come up with results after a little analysis.
Under the vigorous development of his uncle, the Zhen family has become known as the "Four Great Families" along with the other three major families in the world, and it can be said that without his uncle, there would be no Zhen family now.
However, the rapid development of the Zhen family brought Yuan Shao's suspicion and jealousy of his uncle, fearing that his uncle would threaten his rule, so he began to put pressure on the development of the Zhen family everywhere and restrict the development of the Zhen family everywhere, so that the Zhen family could only operate in Zhongshan and the surrounding areas, which can be said to greatly limit the development of the Zhen family.
If it goes on like this, then what awaits the Zhen family is only a gradual decline, and Qingcheng knows that this is the last thing his uncle wants to see. ”
Shi Qingcheng's words can be said to really speak to Zhen Yi's heart,
Zhen Yi, who heard this, couldn't help but nod his head to agree with what Shi Qingcheng said.
"Then uncle, you must take corresponding countermeasures in time for this, and quickly solve the crisis faced by the Zhen family.
The key to solving this crisis is to eliminate Yuan Shao's suspicion of the Zhen family and his uncle, Yuan Shao's wealth is powerful, so money is not very attractive to Yuan Shao, and it cannot eliminate Yuan Shao's suspicion.
Then the best way, and the best way, is through the marriage of the two families of Yuan Zhen, only in this way can Yuan Shao's suspicion of the Zhen family be completely eliminated, and the temporary development of the Zhen family can be exchanged.
Uncle, are you right when you say that Qingcheng analyzed? Shi Qingcheng asked with a faint smile on his peerless jade face, and Shi Qingcheng deliberately accentuated his tone for a while.
Obviously, Zhen Yi also heard it, "Oh, niece, why do you say that the marriage of the Yuan Zhen family can only be exchanged for the temporary development of the Zhen family?" ”
Although Zhen Yi did not answer Shi Qingcheng's question, he had indirectly agreed from the question.
