Vermilion Bird City, the political and economic center of the Great Chu Kingdom, since the Vermilion Bird War has passed five years, the wounds of the war have long been healed under the soothing of time, and in the process of renewing, the area of the city has expanded again, and five years later, the Vermilion Bird City, not only did not decline after the war, but bloomed more brilliantly.

The early morning in Suzaku City is a little cold, but the streets are not affected at all, it is still lively, thanks to the expansion plan of Suzaku City, the outer area of Suzaku City is a huge construction site, and anyone in the city who is not born lazy can get a good job here and receive a lot of money.

Leng Zhuo from the earth, although he is not studying economics, but thanks to the developed information dissemination, the basic knowledge is still there, after all, the country invests in construction for several trillion yuan, and the local debt is also trillions of trillions.

Money can only create greater value through circulation, and through a variety of large-scale construction plans, a large amount of money has been smashed, which is not without the treasury of Da Chu suddenly empty, into a bankruptcy crisis, on the contrary, a large amount of infrastructure investment, not only let Da Chu gallop everywhere, the towns damaged by the war to repair a new one, but also led to the flow of countless money.

It can be said that since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is the happiest time for the merchants of the Great Chu, and the number of merchants is also showing a geometric growth, and this mainly refers to the merchants with business status, and those small stalls and hawkers are countless, along the huge construction site, the formation of a street of vendors, is the best proof.

The northern city of Suzaku City, as the so-called generation of emperors and courtiers, the Marquis of Jingnan, who was purged in the Suzaku War, and the vacancies left by a number of henchmen, were quickly filled by new forces.

In the past, the empire had four great families, which were all over the court, and could even influence the court, that is, the east, the west gate, the north city, the south palace, the four ancient families, and the great ancient families also broke out in the land of Great Chu with strong adaptability and the amazing power of the ancient family.

The Dongfang family is almost uprooted in the empire, and all the people of the Dongfang family are designated as criminals, it can be said that under the strong suppression of Situ Hao, the foundation of the Dongfang family in the north has been completely destroyed, but the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the Dongfang family, as the head of the four great families, has only so much strength.

After joining Dachu, in order to avenge the annihilation of the family and gain a firm foothold in Dachu, the Dongfang family not only provided the intelligence network established by the family, but also activated the hidden forces, and the children of the clan joined the army in large numbers and had various government affairs.

What is the most precious thing about the thousand-year-old family, is not the amount of wealth that is, nor the hidden dark forces, but the elite talents in the family, which is also the root of these families to stand tall and inherit for thousands of years, and obviously, these have become a force that cannot be ignored in Dachu.

The Ximen family, although the main family is still in the empire, and has never had any public inclination towards Da Chu, but secretly, the dark power of the Ximen family is constantly transferring, and similarly, many family branches and children of side veins have also entered all sides of Da Chu, and the Ximen family's cultivation of Ximen Bao'er has not weakened at all, and even the clan has rarely appeared, and the elders in retreat have secretly gone south.

The reason why the Ximen family is not in a hurry is because of the existence of Ximen Blowing Snow, you must know that Ximen Blowing Snow has several enemies against the Ximen family, but even a grudge cannot change the fact that Ximen Blowing Snow is a member of the Ximen family.

Since the Beicheng family was divided, it has been divided into two branches, and the Beicheng of Great Chu has Beicheng Mingyue as the head of the family, and Beicheng Bingxin will marry Leng Zhuo, the king of Chu, is almost ironclad, so the Beicheng family is the second Nangong, and its status is stable!

Among the four great families, the earliest and most comprehensive one to Leng Zhuo is the Nangong family, so the Nangong family already has the family of the first family of Dachu, and it suppresses the other three families, it can be said that Nangong Lie's smile has not closed in the last two years.

The four great families that should have been the pillars of the empire actually all appeared in Dachu and held important positions, this scene cannot but be said to be weird.

Vermilion Bird Building, is the first luxury restaurant in Vermilion Bird City, it is said that it was built on the basis of the former Pang family mansion, can enter the Vermilion Bird Building, are all with identity, and the building is divided into left and right, head, abdomen four, each receives different types of guests, because it is not far from the major yamen of Dachu, so it has gradually become a good place to go after work.

The lotus pond of the Vermilion Bird Building, here is a pond pavilion in the central area of the Vermilion Bird Building, covering an area of several acres of ponds, which is crystal clear, and it is rare that on the day of February, the lotus flowers here are actually in full bloom, and there is a layer of mist in the pond, as if in a fairyland.

In the middle of the pool, there is a pavilion of the water pavilion, shrouded in mist, as if in the clouds, it can be imagined that the person who can sit here must not be an ordinary person.

The heads of the four major families of the East, the North City, the West Gate, and the South Palace are divided into east, west, north, and south to sit on the jade chairs, and there is a faint warm air on the jade, which makes people not only not cold, but will be very comfortable, on the table, there are some exquisite delicacies, ivory jade chopsticks, silverware, moonlight cups, each of which is not ordinary.

"Brother Dongfang, you are in such a hurry to call us, you won't be here to invite us to dinner!" Nangong Lie took a sip of milky white fish, smacked it slightly, raised his head, and looked at Dongfang Zhi, Dongfang Zhi was only in his early fifties, and he was not a few years older than Nangong Lie.

However, it is not comparable to Nangong Lie, and a few years earlier, the emperor in the position was still the nephew of Dongfang Zhi, and the huge court was almost supported by the Dongfang family, you can imagine how thick the Dongfang family is.

Although the four great families are juxtaposed together, they are not a whole, and there are more fights, but in some things, the four great families still have some similarities, so when the interests are the same, they will stand together, but if you want to say deep friendship, it is not, after all, the family also has the difficulty of the family, if they really wear a pair of pants, it is estimated that the people sitting on the dragon chair are afraid that they will not be able to sleep at night.

Dongfang Zhicai is more than fifty, in his state, but when he is in the prime of life, but the Dongfang family has suffered a big change, and the blow to the Dongfang family is not small, don't look at the Dongfang family now has some roots in Dachu, but how much did it cost in exchange, as the so-called cup bow snake shadow, the Dongfang family can no longer afford to suffer such twists and turns.

Dongfang Zhi smiled faintly, the Nangong family took the lead in this speculation, and now that Da Chu is thriving, the Nangong family is naturally on the rise, Dongfang Zhi looked at the high-spirited Dongfang Lie and sighed in his heart, but he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu will return to the dynasty in triumph soon!"

Although Dongfang Zhi did not hold a position in the Great Chu Imperial Court, the children of the family had many positions in the Sixth Cabinet and the Fourth Military Aircraft Department, and news like this, which was not confidential, spread very quickly.

"Oh, what's going on in Yangzhou?" Nangong Lie glanced at Dongfang Zhi, Nangong Lie is not as idle as Dongfang Zhi, his family is big, and there are many things, although he has not held any real position, but he has been busy preparing for the construction of the shipyard recently, so the news is not as good as Dongfang Zhi's attention to the movement all day long.

"Almost, the main force of the Japanese army has been wiped out at the mouth of Taihu Lake, captured a large number of warships, the news was only sent to the military aircraft this afternoon, this news is not a secret, it is estimated that it will not spread overnight, Penglai Islands have sent back a good news a month ago, although there are still a lot of Japanese people in the sea off Yangzhou, but it can't become a climate, Yangzhou should be stable!"

Dongfang Zhi seemed to be stating, but it made Nangong Lie a little confused, and glanced around, Beicheng Mingyue was drinking tea leisurely, as if she had nothing to do with him, and on the other side, Ximen Blowing Snow looked like she had nothing to do with me, eating and drinking non-stop, and she didn't seem to pay attention to the news at all.

Nangong Lie snorted: "Yangzhou is decided, it must be the class to return to the dynasty, Xiyan and Songling have also been laid, so calculated, we are now sitting on the land of two states, although Yangzhou has been harmed a lot, but the foundation is still there, it will not be able to recover in three or five years, Chu and Yangzhou are the land of money and grain, and our foundation is stable!"

Nangong Lie also spoke on words, Da Chu is good, and the Nangong family is naturally good, after all, the Nangong family is completely devoted to Da Chu, unlike the Beicheng family, the Ximen family also has two boats, compared to this, the Dongfang family obviously has more common language with him.

Dongfang Zhi smiled, but with a little sourness, among the four major families, the Dongfang family has the least room for maneuver, and compared with the other three, they are more eager to hope that Da Chu will be strong, and at the same time be able to restore the former glory of the Dongfang family, the Nangong family has an innate advantage, not only took refuge early, but also has a daughter who is being favored, and it is strange that the Nangong family is underdeveloped.

As a family, marriage is one of their most important means, and the Dongfang family was able to overpower the other three before, just because the queen is a member of the Dongfang family, and whether there is such a relationship is very important.

Dongfang Zhi looked at Ximen Blowing Snow and said, "I heard that Wan'er's girl often runs to the palace, and now she is still in charge of the secretariat?"

Beicheng Mingyue raised her head and glanced at Dongfang Zhi, everyone understands people, Dongfang Zhi has something to say in his words, the secretariat, what kind of place is that, it is equivalent to a small cabinet in the harem, although it is mainly responsible for taking care of the trivial affairs of the harem and worrying about the royal industry, but who dares not to put this secretariat in his eyes, the most important thing is that the women in the secretariat seem to be the princesses of the king of Chu.

And Dongfang Zhi first mentioned that Leng Zhuo was coming back, and then he mentioned Ximen Wan'er, the twists and turns in it, you can think about it clearly after a little thought, but Beicheng Mingyue is happy to watch the scene, I don't know how Ximen Fuxue will answer.
