Chapter 264: Superiority
Zhen Yi really values the position of county guard that Zhen Yao gets, but he also knows how important the position of county guard is, and he is the absolute real power figure under Zhang Xiang, Zhen Yi knows how many people will compete for the position of county guard.
He knows very well what Zhen Yao has to pay to keep that position, Zhen Yi knows Zhen Yao's temperament, Zhen Yi is afraid that he will not be able to fulfill the responsibilities of that position, but will affect the Zhen family, and the Zhen family has no way out.
However, Zhang Xiang's words made him feel at ease, "The Zhen family has this qualification, no one dares to question Zhen Yao's position, and no one dares to question the decision I made. ”
Zhen Yi asked people to find Zhen Yao, Zhen Yi has been an official and a businessman, he is a real old fox, he believes in Zhang Xiang very much, but he also wants to add a lock, so he let Zhen Yao come over to be sure.
Zhen Yao was also overjoyed, to say that everyone in the Zhen family hated Zhang Xiang, but there was no doubt about Zhen Yao, after all, he was coerced to bring the Zhen family to this point, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Xiang who gave him a better tomorrow.
Zhen Yao: "Subordinate Zhen Yao thanks the lord, his subordinates will definitely not let you down." Zhang Xiang has been observing Zhen Yao, and the resentment in Zhen Yao's eyes when he came in, Zhang Xiang saw it in his eyes.
followed by a contradiction, and finally turned into a thank you, Zhang Xiang didn't know if Zhen Yao was sincere, but Zhang Xiang could only choose him, Zhen Yao is the son of Zhen Yi and the future head of the Zhen family.
is very similar to Yin Kui's situation, Zhang Xiang also knows that it is not easy for people like them, and they will be driven down if they make a slight mistake, at this time, Zhen Yao's situation in the Zhen family should not be very good, you can see it by looking at his tired face.
Zhang Xiang decided that he should compensate him, "Okay, you will take office the day after tomorrow!" The order will be sent to Zhen's house tomorrow, but you can't spend the New Year at home this year, no matter what the reason, you will fight for what you have lost. ”
Zhang Xiang has already won over the Zhen family, originally he didn't want to stay, but Zhen Yi tried his best to keep it, but Zhang Xiang could only stay, the Zhen family's family background is indeed very thick, even if Yuan Shao raided the house.
But some of their food Zhang Xiang has never seen before, it is worthy of being a top businessman's family, and the food is different from others, maybe it is because he saw that Zhang Xiang was sick, so the Zhen family made a few medicinal dishes.
Zhang Xiang was eating all over the body, and at this time, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Xiang saw that it was a little girl, who should not be very old and very cute like a porcelain doll.
Zhen Yi is still very dignified at home, "Mi'er, don't mess around and go out quickly." The next girl stuck out her tongue very obediently and went out, Zhang Xiang immediately thought of Zhen Mi, and thought about the face of the little girl just now, she was indeed a beauty.
However, Zhang Xiang, a famous person in history, has seen too much, and Zhen Mi Zhang Xiang when he was a child will not be interested, Zhang Xiang ate this meal very well, and he felt that he was well affected by the wind and cold, and he was relaxed.
Zhang Feng also followed Zhang Xiang away, Zhang Feng did not forget that he had bumped into Zhang Xiang just now, Zhang Feng also felt that he was too impulsive, "Third brother, I lost my words just now, don't be surprised." ”
Zhang Xiang looked at Zhang Fei, "Did the eldest brother say anything just now?" "Zhang Fei drank a jar of old wine, and his heart was beautiful? Suddenly, I heard Zhang Xiang ask him and burped.
Zhang Fei: "Is there one?" I don't remember, could it be that I drank too much. This time Zhang Fei pretended to be quite similar, Zhang Xiang suddenly felt that it was better to let Zhang Fei drink a little wine, and his brain turned quickly.
Zhang Xiang: "I didn't drink and I don't remember it, it seems that the second brother drank too much." Zhang Feng knew that Zhang Xiang didn't care when he said this, so Zhang Feng was relieved, the efficiency of the Zhen family was faster than Zhang Xiang imagined.
As soon as Zhang Xiang returned to the mansion, the list of Zhen's shops in Jizhou was sent, and it was personally sent by Zhang Xiang's old acquaintance Zhen Ti.
Zhen Ti didn't dare to delay, it was true that he was familiar with Zhang Xiang, but Zhang Xiang's current identity he felt very pressured, not to mention that the things he was holding in his hands were the fundamental industry on which the Zhen family depended.
Zhen Ti already knew that Zhen Yao was promoted to the position of county guard, and everyone in the Zhen family also celebrated for this, Zhen Ti felt that it was worth exchanging the foundation of the Zhen family for the position of county guard, but if this list could not be sent, it would be his sin.
When Zhen Ti handed over the list to Zhang Xiang, he breathed a sigh of relief, Zhen Ti was worried all the way, this list was always in his arms, and he covered it with his hand, so when Zhang Xiang got the list, the list had become crumpled.
Zhang Xiang glanced at the list, "I didn't expect your Zhen family to also do some salt and iron business, this is explicitly forbidden by the imperial court, your Zhen family is not small!" Zhen Ti smiled awkwardly.
Zhen Ti: "Nothing is easy in this world, of course, what is valuable is what you do, not only our Zhen family, but also the Wei family in Hedong and the Mi family in Xuzhou are involved in these businesses, but they are not on the surface." ”
Zhang Xiang also knew that the buttocks of these big merchants would not be so clean, and he didn't want to pursue them, but it was for Zhang Xiang to see some opportunities to take advantage of, and some of the Zhen family's industries were too secret.
Zhang Xiang felt that these were ready-made hiding places, and they might play a big role in the future, and these industries were all run by the Zhen family for generations, and they would not arouse suspicion if they were very long.
Zhang Xiang originally planned to give these properties to Xu You, but now it seems that he really has to think about it carefully, the gift of the Zhen family is surprisingly useful to Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang has been watching it.
Zhen Ti didn't dare to disturb, Zhang Xiang watched for half an hour, and when he came back to his senses, Zhen Ti was still standing there, "Brother Zhen, we are old acquaintances!" Do you need to be so polite? Let's go if there's nothing to do! I won't keep you. ”
Zhen Ti felt that this sentence sounded better than anything else, Zhen Ti left immediately, and did not stop at all, Zhang Xiang shook his head, is he really so terrible? Zhang Xiang decided to withhold all salt and iron business.
Zhang Xiang decided to make up for the missing part of the list with his secret stronghold in Jizhou, because the Zhen family's salt and iron industry was even more secret, so Zhang Xiang immediately wrote a letter to Xu You.
When Xu You got the letter, he didn't believe what he saw, Xu You had expected Zhang Xiang to be big, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiang's hand to be so big, so big that Xu You was a little overwhelmed.
The property that Zhang Xiang gave him was enough to support the operation of a family, Xu You suddenly swayed from side to side, Xu You has always been loyal to Yuan Shao, and has never doubted his decision.
But Zhang Xiang's generosity made him suspicious, and he finally began to admit in his heart that everything Zhang Xiang got was not accidental, and this doubt had gradually sprouted in his heart.
Xu You has obtained such a big industry, so he naturally has to take care of it, taking care of an industry is completely different from making suggestions, this aspect is just a novice for Xu You.
So some of Xu You's actions still aroused some people's suspicions, Yuan Shao's subordinates were constantly fighting, and they could become Xu You's opponents, and their abilities were not bad, and he found out some of the industries that Xu You had gotten.
Xu You's sudden emergence of so many industries here, of course, will make people suspicious, Guo Tu immediately told Yuan Shao about this, and Yuan Shao also sent someone to check, those industries are there and can't be hidden from others.
Xu You just got the news, but he couldn't cover it up if he wanted to, Xu You didn't know how much Yuan Shao knew, so he could only die with a hard mouth, Yuan Shao immediately found Xu You and let him read a letter, which recorded all the properties under Xu You, "Lord Xu, your industry is really a lot!" Am I going to rely on you? ”
Xu You saw Yuan Shao's letter, and he was also relieved, what was recorded in the letter was only a part, if Xu You wanted to cover it up, he couldn't cover it up, "The lord's subordinates don't dare, these are indeed the industries that his subordinates have been operating over the years." ”
Now in this situation, Xu You can only bite to death, Yuan Shao doesn't believe it, "With such a big industry, I don't know what way Lord Xu has!" Teach me well, let me learn too. ”
"The subordinates pleaded guilty to the lord, and the subordinates have indeed used their power for personal gain over the years, and have seized some properties from some wealthy businessmen." Xu You can only admit his small sins now, and if Yuan Shao finds out that he has dealings with Zhang Xiang, it will not be a trivial matter to reduce responsibility.
Yuan Shao: "It's good for you to admit it, I know that everyone says that you are greedy for money, I don't believe it, I didn't expect it to be true, can a person like you still offer advice in front of me?" Yuan Shao angrily reprimanded Xu You.
Xu You also became an idle fu at home, but what Xu You didn't expect was that Tian Feng was frustrated to intercede for him, and Tian Feng was frustrated to intercede for Xu You, which was completely dependent on Xu You's ability.
If Xu You was mediocre and incompetent, they wouldn't care about it, Tian Feng was frustrated and all the pleas were still somewhat effective, at least Xu You was used again, but Xu You had a trace of rebellion against Yuan Shao in his heart.
The seeds obtained by doubt in Xu You's heart began to take root and sprout, and Xu You did not continue to take care of those industries himself in order to prevent people from grasping the handle, but stopped for a while.
After all, he is still afraid of the dark after seeing ghosts, Xu You suddenly changed his mentality, Xu You did not participate in Yuan Shao's battle for the son of the world before, but this time Xu You took refuge under Yuan Shang's command unusually.
Xu You is a well-known strategist in Hebei no matter what, Yuan Shao got Xu You's refuge, so he was naturally very happy to treat him politely and did not dare to slack off, Xu You still had some expectations for Yuan Shao.
So Xu You chose Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang is Yuan Shao's most valued son, Xu You knows that Yuan Shang is the future lord of Hebei, Xu You also began to plan for the future, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's punishment Xu You would not have come to this point.
Xu You is becoming less and less optimistic about Yuan Shao, but Xu You is still watching Yuan Shao's forces, Xu You thinks that Yuan Shao's forces should change their masters as soon as possible, or let the young man take the position! (To be continued.) )
