The Zheng family and the Liu family are both families that have been seriously weakened after Chen Zhi took office, and the Zheng family is the most.

Originally, the Zheng family, the Zhu family, the Wang family, and the Tang family were the four major families of Dai County, how majestic they were, but as a result, they lost all the money, and the essence of the entire family in Dai County was stripped out, and they withdrew from the center stage.

However, relying on a little favor and connections in the past, the family does not have to worry about complete decline, at most, it is the same as other small families and clans, but such a huge contrast makes the Zheng family no longer think about recovering all the time.

Of course, this is mixed with a lot of resentment and hatred.

Such a family that hates Chen Zhi, it stands to reason that once Chen Zhi is in power, he should be severely suppressed, but he didn't expect that after driving away several external soldiers and horses that came to attack, Daijun entered a period of large-scale construction.

Not only that, but taking advantage of the great development of Daijun, the Zheng family quickly restored the family's trade routes, and actually had a lot of benefits, which also made the family breathe a sigh of relief-

Such a large family cannot be maintained by relying on a belief in revenge, and it must be real money to be able to afford it, so the strength of the family has been greatly damaged before, many financial resources have been cut off, and the whole family is panicked, and some families have signs of backlash.

Finally relying on the opportunity of the development of Daijun, I found some ways to make money again, although it is not as good as Daijun paper and Daiyao, but it is barely able to maintain income and expenditure, as long as I cut some unnecessary expenses, this family's shelf will still be maintained.

It's just that they can't settle down in their hearts for such things, they always feel that they are struggling in the cracks, once Chen Zhi pays attention, everything in their family will immediately fall apart, this worry is too strong, and even overshadows the original grievances.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Zhi's invitation was sent, the entire Zheng family immediately boiled, feeling that this was an opportunity!

"If you can get the position, then you can earn a little profit in the future, and you don't have to worry about it, not to mention, if you enter the General's Mansion, then you can repair the relationship between our Zheng family and the Mansion in the future!"

The person who presided over the Zheng family meeting was Zheng Lin, whose face was vicissitudes.

This Zheng Lin was also reprimanded for offending Chen Zhi in the past, and was directly exiled to the following to be responsible for some trivial affairs, but with the chaos of the Zheng family, no one can preside over the situation, Zheng Lin actually seized the opportunity, re-emerged, and slowly attracted a group of people to come over, and now he is a core figure.

And it was precisely because he was worried that Chen Zhi would come back in the future that he promoted reconciliation within the Zheng family, and intended to come forward to negotiate with Chen Zhi by himself, so as to test Chen Zhi's meaning.

"How can the Zheng family, if you want to get through the difficulties, it is far from enough to rely on the current entry, unless you can participate in the sale of that generation of county paper, it is already very difficult to maintain the current shelf, not to mention the recovery of vitality in the future and repeat the old view."

As he spoke, he reached a consensus with the others.

"What the Tang family wants to propose, we know it, but this position, we must fight for it, this is for the continuation of the family, even if we can't get one of the nine positions in the house, we have to get a few key positions! If it can be achieved, our Zheng family will slowly get back on track, and the next few major trips in this generation of counties will also be able to gradually participate! ”

The so-called "re-line" refers to the sale of paper, porcelain, and the distinction of mineral deposits, which have replaced the original merchant transit and become the pillar industry of Daijun, so that many businessmen come to Daijun again, it is not to rest and transshipment, but to directly transport the output of Daijun and return to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Similar words also sounded in Liu's house at this time.

The person who spoke was Liu Bao, who served in the government.

It's just that compared to the Zheng family's eager response, the Liu family's reaction was much colder, and even many people showed disgust for Liu Qing.

"I know you have an opinion on me Liu Qing, but in the interests of the family, you can't be too capricious, I am an official of the county government, this has been decided, maybe I can hang a post in the general's mansion, but the plan is not to get one of the nine in the government, which is very unfavorable to the future development of our Liu family, we now look stronger than the Zheng family, but in fact it is still not enough, last month two more families came to me, found me, said that the family is in difficulty, and I hope that the main vein will give subsidies, otherwise I can only find a way out, It took me a long time to appease them, but when I asked me to take out the money, I really couldn't get it out! ”

At this time, someone muttered below, saying: "It's so miserable, it's not because of that prince, but now I want to please him......"

"Who's talking?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Bao hadn't said anything, and his son Liu Qing had already asked.

Unlike the honest Liu Bao, as soon as Liu Qing spoke at this time, he had an aggressive taste, and when he asked like this, the person who had muttered before immediately died down and didn't dare to squeak.

Liu Qing didn't pursue it, his original intention was not to take responsibility for people, but to take the opportunity to speak.

As Liu Bao was taken out by Chen Zhi, as the focus of controlling the Liu family, Liu Qing also seized the opportunity and began to expand his influence within the Liu family, and in the participation of many family affairs, he was much more active than his father, so on such an occasion, as soon as he opened his mouth, his momentum was different.

"Our family, why did it become like this, don't you know? Is it the government that suppresses it for no reason? Liu Qing said and shook his head, "It's that some people in our family, who are obsessed with their minds, take the initiative to contact outsiders, and want to murder the king, and finally end up in such a field, he is dead, but let the family suffer the suffering it is now!" ”

The voices of the people around him became quieter and quieter, and only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"It's really wrong to say this now," noticing that everyone was quiet, Liu Qing glanced at his father and took a step back, "The top priority at the moment is to obtain a position in the General's Mansion, this position, my father has analyzed it for the monarchs just now, once it develops, the future is bright, and it is more important than his current position, but the family can reach it, I'm afraid there is only one position, there are more monks and less porridge, the top priority is to work together, think about our Liu family, what advantages do we have, we can stand out, Suppress other families and win the favor of the king! ”

Liu Bao nodded, and said: "That's the reason, our Liu family offended the prince of the house before, and others felt that there was no chance, but because of this, maybe the king of the house needs to use the people of our Liu family to balance the other families, then the Tang family has the benefit of the kiln, and it is already rich, if it gets another general and nine positions, it is a combination of power and wealth, I am afraid that it will be difficult to govern, it is better to us, although I also serve in the government, but this term is not long, and it is quite diligent, and the prince may be able to promote one or two more children......"
