The two brothers, Cui Yu and Cui Jian, both agreed and appreciated this very much, they were able to think of a way out when they were at their most beautiful, and they focused on the overall situation of the family, Zilan was indeed qualified to be a clan wife.

"Do you have the right person or direction in mind? Let's hear it all together. ”

Zhang stepped forward to take the child and went to the warm pavilion, the child was sleepy and was about to sleep, and the grandmother also followed.

"In order to become the treasurer, I united many families, but now the situation is that the family and the clan rely on and coerce each other.

They agreed that I would come out because of my business ability, and because the Qi family had a close relationship with the Ten Princes, and the princes were willing to give me two faces.

If you are looking for a successor in the future, the initial idea is still this combination, and the clan will have someone with excellent ability and level to control it, so that the emperor can rest assured;

And the family also needs to have a capable person to be responsible for the operation, so that these families can rest assured and wholeheartedly support the treasurer, and never make the court stable.

With money, we can promote many reforms and do a lot of things, and the family can make profits from it, so that this money can be publicly rationalized, so that this thing can run for a long time. ”

Zilan stopped to take a sip of warm white water.

The gentlemen present looked at each other and agreed with these words.

"So far, I have taken a fancy to two people in the clan, one is the son of the eldest princess's family, who is a leader in all aspects, and he is also trusted and valued by the emperor."

"Well, Shizi is indeed outstanding, and he has done an excellent job with Jiangnan, and he has been dealing with the way of businessmen all these years, and he also has experience."

Cui Jian nodded immediately when he heard this, and he also recognized this candidate.

"The other one is the Cheng Wangye, who has military power, is covered by the old prince, and is loyal, but I have no contact with the way of Shangjia, so I dare not make an assertion.

Moreover, whether military power and money can be in one place depends on the emperor's intentions. The choice of the eater remains to be considered. ”

Old lady Cui shook his head, "Prince Cheng won't do this, it's okay to participate in one, it's enough to play a deterrent role, he doesn't have time to do these things, and he has to guard the sea area." I think the candidate is a good candidate. ”

"As for the family, there are indeed a lot of talented people, but the children of the clan themselves are dragging down the family behind them, so they may not be a suitable candidate.

Before making any decision, the interests of the family must be considered first, which is undoubtedly unfavorable to the treasurer, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to be satisfied. ”

The most difficult thing is to select a child from the family who is recognized and convinced by everyone to run the treasurer, he has to be as good as Zilan, can make money for the treasurer, and also make money for the family, otherwise why would people support you, are you so idle.

This balance is not easy to grasp, don't look at Zilan as a female dependent, it just so happens that she is in a gap recognized by everyone, and she has excellent business ability, which has been recognized and supported by her relatives in the family;

It's a girl who doesn't threaten anyone's interests, everyone agrees, this balance is right at the right time, the right place, and it's very delicate, but if it's replaced by a child, it may not be this result.

Zilan sighed and said sincerely, "The reason why I can get the support of so many families is not because I have a lot of face and ability, but because I just happened to master this balance.

First, my business ability is okay, I can mention it, bring benefits to everyone, and have successful experience.

Second, I am a woman after all, even if I am the county lord or an official, I will not have much achievement, nor will it affect the future of the children of each family, I will not stand in anyone's way, I am not a man who can't steal a man's future.

Third, my grandfather and my grandfather, as well as my Song family and some elders of the Qi family support and love me, I take the face of the elders, each family gives some face, and everyone can also take money and benefits, then it's up to you.

But with the same balance, it may be difficult to find such a man to control the management of the treasurer and be recognized by the family and clan. And what man wants to be in the company of businessmen?

It's okay to help get some benefits, I really have been insisting on this road, which excellent son is willing, he is willing to cry to death, so this candidate is the most difficult. ”

"Then if we let the prince run it alone, let's send a few more people to be responsible for playing the deputy."

Cui Rong thought of an idea.

Zilan shook her head, "We will be eaten up little by little, and in the end, the family will fight among themselves and be completely controlled by the emperor, the family is already feared by the emperor, once we are not united, the interests are uneven, and the end can be imagined."

At this time and then, it is now reused because the children of the poor family cannot bring the voice he needs to the emperor, the emperor is bent on reform, and it is difficult to move an inch without the support of the family.

And they can't replace the role and influence of the clan on the court, they can only divide the interests of the clan, and the influence on the court does exist, but it is not enough to form absolute control.

The Hanmen has three points of influence, the clan has four points of influence, and the rest is the clan or the generals, and finally the backbone of the emperor, only if the voice of the court reaches eighty or ninety percent or more, and the money is sufficient, this reform can be carried out smoothly.

To use the simplest analogy, the emperor pities the people and wants to reduce taxes, so he has to ask the prime minister and the household servant first, whether the money in my family's pocket is enough to reduce or exempt, where is it so easy. ”

Zilan shook her head, she also had her own judgment on the form of the court and the clan.

Cui Rong looked at Zilan and admired it very much, she could see the situation so thoroughly, let alone women, even there were few men.

"You mean the future won't necessarily be so smooth."

"I mean that in the next ten years, maybe our clan will be suppressed, and the children of the Han family will form the backbone and have a certain degree of control over the court, and the clan can be reused, depending on whether the emperor needs us."

Zilan sighed, the future situation is not too good.

The expansion of the clan is a direct threat to the imperial power, so the first emperor severely suppressed the clan, promoted the children of the Han family, and each divided the world into three parts of the world to support each other, and finally the emperor firmly controlled the imperial power and court power.

"I didn't expect you to think so far."

Cui Yu appreciated and relied on this daughter-in-law a little more.

"I dare to say a few more words, what I want is not a person who can only manage the way of business, but an outstanding person, a leader who can lead far in the family and raise his arms.

The treasurer is just an entry point, as I have always understood that I am in business because I am a woman, but the network resources brought by the business can be reused and assigned to my own door.

That's why I insisted on doing business in the first place, hoping to earn a little bit of resources for my father and brother.

I hope that in the future, this candidate can do better than me, not only to contact the family to do business together, but to influence the court to take the right path, and earn an opportunity for the children of the clan to stand in the court and speak for the people.

Let people know why we are a clan, and let the children of the poor family who want to defeat us every day understand what the heritage and broad mind of the clan are. ”
