Chapter 525: A hole in the embankment bursts
"I'll have to go back and think about this later!"
In the face of the series of information given by Chen Zhi, the people of the Daijun family, including Tang Zi, were shaken, but their understanding of the importance of the armed family still couldn't make them make a decision instantly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What's more, this matter is not something that one or two of them can decide.
"I believe that you will all make a wise decision," Chen Zhi didn't seem to be in a hurry, "In fact, the Zheng family has already decided to hand over all their families and tenants in Dai County, with this team, with the nearly 1,000 families sent by my Chen family, it is not difficult to pull out a team of more than 2,000 or nearly 3,000 people in a short period of time." β
As soon as this news was said, everyone's faces finally changed.
In fact, this is also in everyone's expectations, after all, the Zheng family is like this now, but listening to Chen Zhi say it in person is another feeling.
Chen Zhiwuzi continued: "Actually, I won't say anything unrealistic, even if you unite the armed family and hand it over to me, it is impossible for me to keep your property and fields in the entire Dai County, in case there are soldiers and horses of the Hu tribe who raid other county towns, as well as some remote villages and towns, even if I have a lot of soldiers and horses, I can't reach the whip, but ......."
Hearing this, everyone's brows tightened, and then they listened to Chen Zhiyanββ
"But your industry and fields in Dai County must be supported, I believe that at least half of your industry is left in Dai County, after all, this is the core of a county, and if you keep it here, you can make your family vitality not hurt, the pros and cons of this, you and think about it, that's it!"
Speaking of this, he picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, and made a gesture of serving tea to the guests.
Seeing this, the people below were a little difficult to decide, and in the end they all bowed their hands and left one after another, but when they left, they looked more solemn than the other.
Feeling the wavering in the hearts of these people, Chen Zhi nodded slightly.
In fact, the news just now has shaken the hearts of these people, making their emotions fluctuate, and they meet the conditions for using persuasion tea, and once they are used, they can be persuaded on the spot.
It's just that this persuasion of learning tea looks powerful, and there are a lot of flaws, the first key point is that it can convince the current group of people, and it does not mean that they can convince their family, although these people have influence in their respective clans, but they cannot represent the entire family, after they go back, they also have to negotiate with the clan.
Of course, Chen Zhi can't persuade one family after another, not to mention that it is inefficient, and it is more cumbersome, which is equivalent to abandoning the basics, not to mention that there is not much tea left, Chen Zhi still has a lot of places to use in the future, and it should not be wasted on these people who can be convinced, because it will be of great use soon.
So as soon as this group of people left, Chen Zhi summoned Ran Zhan.
"Go and bring them all the documents and objects I prepared for the Tang family."
Ran Zhan was still a little reluctant, and whispered, "Is that too cheap for the Tang family?" Now that so many people have come to Luoyang, they are all for the sake of the gentleman, your blank paper and articles, which will definitely sell well in the future, so why share the benefits to the Tang family? Isn't this cheapening the Tang family for nothing? Gentleman, let me say a word, don't be unhappy, no matter what happens to this Tang family, it is only a family in the Northland, and they can't afford this benefit! β
"Yes, now we all know how to analyze the problem from the whole situation," Chen Zhi praised first, and said Ran Zhan was quite embarrassed, but then changed the conversation, "Even you can see the future trend, the Tang family can't see it?" β
The little smug look on Ran Zhan's face disappeared in an instant.
"This paper is good, but it's not as important as you think," Chen Zhi smiled instead, "It's just a paper-making art, if it weren't for the fact that this matter can coincide with elegance and calligraphy, I wouldn't have chosen this matter, but would find something that can make more money. β
Ran Zhan was confused, but he didn't dare to interject.
"After I came to Northern Xinjiang, although there were many family temptations before and after, only the Tang family was really close, if I couldn't use them as a benchmark, how could other families be convinced? The white paper process is still in hand, but the profits from the sale are divided, in fact, it is only a trivial matter, the Tang family has gained real profits, and I am connected with the interests of both of them, so that they can closely integrate and lose both, so that they can work hard! And at this time, I will explain the benefits thoroughly, that is, let them understand that compared with some armed families, I will improve their Tang family even more, let them be leaders and hand over the family first! β
Speaking of this, Chen Zhi stopped, and the whole thing flashed in his mind.
Chen Zhi's own family and the Zheng family he received, combined, have surpassed other families in terms of numbers, at least in Dai County, he is already the leading armed force.
On this premise, after some advice from the combination of fiction and reality, the people of the Daijun family have been shaken, and there is a warning from the Zheng family's past, coupled with the threat of an imminent war, Chen Zhi wants to forcibly recruit the strength of each family, in fact, the problem is not big, there is only a small chance that they will be forced to break out into a rebellion, or after the war passes, there will be some problems in the aftermath.
"But instead of coercion, it is better to induce, there are a large number of armed families in the entire Dai County, but the big head is in the hands of a few big clans, they are all watching and hesitating now, looking forward and backward, like a dam that is storing water, once there is a leader, it is equivalent to making a hole in the embankment, and the entire embankment will be cracked by this!"
In fact, Chen Zhi's purpose to give benefits to the Tang family is far more than that.
Because the war is imminent, he doesn't have much time to arrange, and he does all the overbearing things, but he really wants to subdue the place, and he has to give both grace and power, but Chen Zhi has sought the population of these families from the very beginning, and this war is just used as an excuse to integrate it, this is to seek, and if you want to take, you have to give, so in the future, he will give these families a certain amount of compensation in other aspects to balance people's hearts.
"Before that, though, there's a few things to deal with first."
Thinking of this, he instructed Ran Zhan again: "It's almost time to arrest Xiao Quan and others from the paper shop and send them to Chenzhuang outside the city, and then gather most of the servants and family members to go over to watch the punishment." β
As soon as Ran Zhan heard this, he immediately got up with his hands, he had already heard that there were spies in the paper mill, and he revealed that he had secretly gone out to let outsiders know, Chen Zhi had a list over there, but it had not been announced, and now as soon as he said it, Ran Zhan immediately understood, and he intended to stretch his chest.
Chen Zhi said again: "You go and deal with it first, but after you go out, call Chen Duo to me." β
Ran Zhan nodded and went.
It didn't take long for Chen Duo, the chief steward who was now in charge of the trivial affairs of the Chen Mansion, to come to Chen Zhi.
"I've worked hard for you these days."
Chen Duo said that this was what he should do.
After the words passed, Chen Zhi said again: "There are still a few things to do now, there are several batches of servants and servants sent from the south, you can select some people from them who have experience in prospecting and mining, I have arrangements." β
Chen Duo was puzzled in his heart, as far as he knew, there were no big mines in this county, but he didn't ask, just nodded and wrote it down.
Chen Zhi said again: "In addition, the He Jing that I have already asked you to pay attention to, you can invite him to come over and see it." β
Chen Duo's heart moved, nodded yes, he knew very well in his heart that the identity of the He Jing mentioned by Chen Zhi was very unusual, and he had a connection with the Saiwai clan, and he often walked and explored around Dai County, so he was discovered, and after reporting to Chen Zhi, the lord learned about something, but let people press it down, saying that they wanted to wait and see what happened.
Unexpectedly, now I suddenly want to meet someone.
Thinking about it, Chen Duo asked again, "Does the master have any other orders?" β
"There is also the paper workshop," Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "Those workshops have to be expanded in the past few days, and the articles that I said to those visitors from Luoyang must be taken out as soon as possible." β
The choice of this paper industry is not all as Chen Zhi and Ran Zhan said, it is not important, because this is also the beginning of Chen Zhi's other big plan, paper, as a carrier of knowledge, will be a major weapon for him in the future, but it will not be visible at the moment.
Moreover, this is only the first generation of papermaking technology he has come up with, which has attracted the motivation of many families, and better technical reserves have been prepared, just waiting for the time to come out.
However, the profits of this blank paper workshop are real, so when Ran Zhan visited the Tang family with the news, after the Tang family learned of Chen Zhi's concession and estimated the future income, the old lady Tang gritted his teeth and agreed to Chen Zhi's request first, and took out nearly eighty percent of his family's armed family members in Dai County, saying that it was in response to Chen Zhi's proposal to unite in advance!
The Tang family is in Dai County, it is a family second to none, although it has declined a little in recent years, but the tiger power is still there, and their family's guard team is not much more than the Zheng family, this nearly eighty percent of the Dai County Wuding, strictly speaking, there are nearly two thousand people!
Don't think it's inconceivable that a family has 2,000 armed families in the local area, after all, this is the foundation of the Tang family, and there are many dock forts and granges.
What's more, at this time, only a small part of the Wuding can be regarded as professional nurses, and the rest are not out of production, which is the nature of half-farming and half-soldiering.
Eighty percent of these nearly 2,000 people say that there is actually water.
But even so, the Tang family's decision still stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and caused a huge impact among the Daijun family!
The next day, after Wu Jie, who was rushing towards Dai County, got the news, he was even more shocked and fell down the cup in his hand!
