In the afternoon of the same day, nearly 100 fat sheep were killed in the barracks, several rows of large iron pots, boiling tumbling mutton, one for each tun, Tian Feng's family, Cheng Li's family, Dian Wei's family, and other families each shared a large pot, and other auxiliary personnel also enjoyed the opportunity to have dinner in the barracks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Qiang took his daughter-in-law to the city lord's mansion to attend the banquet, Zhang Ning now has a stable life, no longer frightened, after more than half a year of recuperation, it is even more radiant.

There were also a few tables in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and female family members celebrated in the backyard, Chu Yan's sister Chu Lan had a good relationship with her sister Gao Qian, and they also came to join in the fun. In order not to neglect the families of the officers stationed abroad, people from each family were invited to the banquet.

Zhen Yi was also invited.

Gao Shun sent back several intermediate and junior chefs from the barracks canteen, and the taste of the food in the City Lord's Mansion was amazing, as long as they had eaten it, they were full of praise, and they could drink Shanggu wine worth 100 gold, and everyone was proud to go to the City Lord's Mansion to participate in the banquet.

During the banquet, Ma Gui asked: "Lord, last year's cotton harvest was bumper, and tens of thousands of catties were harvested, but everyone didn't know what to do with it, so they were still piled up in the warehouse." ”

"How much is the yield per mu?"

"About five hundred pounds."

When Gao Shun heard this, he was overjoyed, he had been outside, busy with various affairs, but he forgot about cotton, pretended to be thinking, and took the opportunity to check the system, sure enough, there was a cotton item, and the price was not high, each point can be exchanged for 200 kilograms of lint, about 800 catties of Han catties, much larger than the yield per mu at that time.

Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, okay, you have made meritorious contributions, these cotton can be of great use." ”

With such cheap cotton, it can easily withstand the severe cold, and the poor people can also gain a foothold in the cold north. Although the total amount is not much, it can be purchased from the system, which is definitely a large and boundless market, and it must be well managed.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought about it, and a plan formed in Gao Shun's mind. said to Zhen Yi: "Master Zhen, go to my study after the banquet, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes, Prince." Zhen Yi was surprised and very happy, it seemed that the mystery of how Gao Shun treated his family was finally about to be revealed.

The wine was half-drunk, Gao Shun and Zhen Yi withdrew, he was here, everyone couldn't let go, and he looked very restrained, with Ma Gui and Li Qiang accompanying everyone, the atmosphere would be better.

In Gao Shun's study, Zhen Yi sat opposite him; Gao Shun first asked: "Master Zhen, you have been here for so long, you should have a comprehensive understanding of Shun, right?" ”

"Yes, Marquis."

"Haha, there were more than ten people who followed Shun first, and now two of them have become emperors-in-law, four have become Taishou, and many of them have served as captains of Wuhuan or county capitals, and more people have become generals who can fight well."

"The old man admires the gentleman's literary and martial arts, and such great achievements are very human."

"Li Mengwen has the best martial arts, but he doesn't like to be an official, and he is only willing to follow Shun; And Ma Mengzhen has the highest strategy, second only to Shun in martial arts, and now Shun is inseparable from him, and he feels down-to-earth when he sits in the rear, and he is a little wronged by him. ”

"Hehe, the rear is stable, and the prince can conquer the city outside, and his contribution is great."

"I am very relieved that the head of the Zhen family can say this." Gao Shun glanced at Zhen Yi, and then asked, "Is the head of the Zhen family very confused, why did he raid your house and send you to the border county?" ”

"Yes, Prince, why is that?"

Gao Shun pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, I am here to save your whole family." ”

"Ah, how so?" Zhen Yi didn't believe it.

Gao Shun sorted out his thoughts and said: "A little shrewd person can see that the world will be in chaos, presumably the head of the Zhen family also understands the truth of his guilt, you must know that if you are a big tree and have no ability to protect your property, it will bring disaster to the Zhen family." ”

Xie Junhou reminded that the old man has a deep understanding of this. Without a strong backer, businessmen are fat meat to be slaughtered by the powerful at any time in troubled times.

"Ling Ai is as beautiful as a flower, but it is also one of the sources of trouble, especially the youngest daughter, it is estimated that many people think that it is unspeakably expensive, is there such a thing?"

"It's true!" Zhen Yi did not have any doubts about Gao Shun's words.

"Haha, they only counted the first half, but not the second half."

"What about the second half?" Zhen Yi was very curious.

Gao Shun said solemnly: "Covering your face with your hair and stuffing your mouth with chaff will not end well!" ”

Zhen Yi said angrily: "Ah, the prince can't slander me. ”

Gao Shun said solemnly: "Ling Lang only has a twelve year of life. ”

Zhen Yi said with a cold face: "Please be cautious!" ”

Gao Shun added another fire and said: "I'm afraid that the head of the Zhen family will not be far away!" Up to three years. ”

For the matter of his daughter and son, the time is still a long time, it is difficult to say, but he knows his body, since he has a young daughter, it is not as good as a day, although he is well taken care of in Taoyuan Fort, but the recovery is limited, Gao Shun is true.

Hurriedly asked, "How do you solve it?" ”

"Abandon business and enter politics!"

Zhen Yi acquiesced to Gao Shun's opinion, he also had the experience of being an official, even if he was the youngest county magistrate, his power in the jurisdiction was amazing, but without a backer, it was difficult to be an official.

Gao Shun continued: "Doing business in troubled times cannot end well, and the Xuzhou Elk family will not escape the fate of being destroyed. ”

Zhen Yi smiled: "Haha, the prince is worried, it takes a process for the troubled times to come, how can you just come?" ”

"Haha, within 4 years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and people have been displaced; Within 5 years, the heroes will rise up, Zhuolu Central Plains, the war is endless, and the Han people will not survive; The alien race rose in all directions, taking advantage of the weakness of the Han people, the iron horsemen gathered in the Central Plains, who can stop it? Are there eggs under the nest? ”

Although Zhen Yi didn't believe what Gao Shun said, it was an unquestionable fact that the alien race was getting stronger and stronger.

"If you don't believe it, your family's assets can be returned in full, and not a penny will be less, go home, and don't care."

Seeing Zhen Yi fall into deep thought, Gao Shun continued: "After Shun evacuated Jizhou, the Yellow Turban thieves in Jizhou revived, and it seemed that there was a tendency to burn the prairies, and the entire Taihang Mountains became a den of thieves, and many surrounding counties have become the territory of the Yellow Turban thieves; The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou are ready to move; The Qiang people in the west continued to cause chaos and endanger the counties; The Wuhuan people are also not restless, they just committed a border a few years ago and were violently beaten back; I don't need to say much about the harm of Xianbei people, I believe that the head of the Zhen family will have his own judgment. ”

The world is in turmoil, even if there is so much family wealth, it is useless in front of the chaotic army, even self-protection is a problem, this time he met Gao Shun, did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it was his Zhen family luck, not every warlord will treat them so well, next time so many family wealth that is unable to protect themselves is the disaster of his family.

So Zhen Yi made up his mind and said: "Rely on the prince alone." ”

"This matter is not for outsiders to decide, if the Zhen family wants to continue to engage in business, first, they can recover the original family business; Second, I will give you a business, which will definitely make the Zhen family ten or even more than a hundred times richer than before; third, abandon business; How to choose, it must be from the heart. ”

"Abandon the business!" Zhen Yi gritted his teeth and said, not for himself, but also for future generations to fight for an identity and status.

Gao Shun has a deep understanding of Zhen Yi's choice, even if he has hundreds of millions of family fortunes, he needs to nod his head in front of the mayor of a small town or the chief of the real power, and the situation will be worse in troubled times.

Gao Shun was overjoyed in his heart, since Zhen Yi chose to abandon business, then his next plan would be easy to implement.
