Chapter 1267 Negotiation
A few days passed in a flash, and Xue Chengyi, who had been busy for half his life, rarely stayed in Liangzhou City for a few days to relax.
The scenery in the north is completely different from that of the south of the Yangtze River or the capital city. Just the rolling yellow sand makes people fascinated.
Today is a crisp autumn day, the breeze is blowing and the sun is shining brightly.
Chen Zhixing and Ma Congzhi took Xue Chengyi out of the city, saying that Xue Chengyi was going to the Tomb of Heroes to pay homage to the souls of the fallen soldiers.
Xue Chengyi put on a clean plain robe seriously and followed the two of them.
Ma Ling'er also took Xue Qianqian to play, while a group of grown men were discussing things in the meeting hall.
Chen Yue drew several lines on the map crookedly. One end of the line was Qingzhou and the other end was Liangzhou.
Based on two days of discussions, these are the preliminary routes for the Xue family to move north.
According to the plan, Xue Shenchen started to officially leave after returning to Qingzhou.
When the Xue family moved north, it wasn't just a matter of a few people packing up their things, loading them in a few carriages, and guarding them with a few guards, and they just moved here easily.
Just the huge amount of wealth, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver that the Xue family has accumulated over the years can be loaded into countless cars.
After several generations of reproduction, there are not just one or two direct and collateral relatives, but also many servants, servants and the like.
The most important thing is that Xue Shenchen and Chen Yue also plan to bring over all the food stored by the Xue family. This stuff can be eaten immediately and is much better than those coins.

With so many people, so much gold and silver, and so much food and grass, will there be any bandits or bandits along the way?
Don’t forget, there are still wars in the Central Plains.
With gold and silver that you can eat and drink for eight lifetimes, even ordinary people, not to mention bandits, may have twisted ideas.
These routes were carefully selected by Chen Yue and others. Most of them were open official roads, inhabited by common people, close to city gates, and relatively safe.
Moreover, the Xue family has quite a lot of connections. Many officials along the chosen route have friendships with the Xue family and can more or less take care of them.
Chen Yue looked at Xue Shen and said seriously: "Mr. Xue, will everyone in the Xue family follow them and move north?"
The old man's eyes dimmed, and then he shook his head slightly:
"It's impossible. There will definitely be some people who don't want to come to the north, and I won't force anyone to do so."
Everyone was understanding and didn't say anything. This time the Xue family moved north, it might split the Nuo family into two parts.
The old man raised his head and murmured: "It's okay, everyone has their own ambitions. If they want to stay, they can stay.
As for how many people will follow to Liangzhou, including the servants, I initially estimate that there will be three to four hundred people."
"Three or four hundred people~"
Chen Yue thought about it in his mind and said softly: "With this number of people plus the carriage, the cargo will be too much. I suggest we go separately."
If all these people come together to drive hundreds of cars, it will not only be dangerous, it will also be difficult to manage and may easily cause riots.
Xue Shen nodded deeply: "I think so too."
Chu Yucheng interjected from the side: "It is inconvenient for the old, weak, women and children to move with the brigade. In my opinion, they can enter Liang in batches in advance. It will also make people feel at ease to arrive in Liangzhou early.
The adult men in the family stayed behind to escort the goods. Without people from the Xue family watching, it would inevitably be inconvenient."
"agree!"
"There is also food, which can be gradually transported to Liangzhou through the channels of the Chamber of Commerce, and people will be arranged at various checkpoints in Liangzhou to handle it.
It takes too much time to transport grain trucks by land, and all major chambers of commerce have water transportation, so the Xue family should be able to contact someone trustworthy to make arrangements, right?"
"There is no problem with this. The family patriarchs of several chambers of commerce have a very good relationship with me. As long as I speak, there is absolutely no problem with this."
…
We all worked hard to finalize the details of the Xue family's northward move one by one. This should be the most important and top priority in Liangzhou this year.
As long as the news spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court, and the relationship between the Xue family and Prince Liang's palace will no longer be covered up.
A die-hard ally!
As for most people in the court, they could only watch helplessly as the Xue family entered Beiliang. After all, this was a family matter and it did not violate national laws.
At the end, Chen Yue glanced at everyone: "I would like to emphasize once again that safety is the top priority. No one in the Xue family can have an accident on the road.
The manpower mobilized by Wentiansi and Bai Xuewei must be fully prepared!"
"No! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Several people shouted in unison, especially Huangfu Yanling, whose expression was solemn. Most of the burden for this matter fell on him.
Everyone knows that the real danger is not only the bandits wandering around, but also the so-called blood drops.
"Okay, let's all go down and get ready." Chen Yue waved his hand gently, and then sat back on the chair a little tiredly.
Everyone left one by one, Xue Shen Shen, who was dressed in red robe, stayed, his old eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Xue Lao, Xue Lao?"
Chenyue called twice softly before waking Xue Shenshen from her deep thoughts.
"Do you have any worries, Mr. Xue?" Chenyue asked softly.
"Alas~"
Xue Shen rubbed his brows and said: "To be honest, there are indeed some people in the family who love money. To put it harshly, they regard wealth as their lives.
The family's property is all in Jiangnan, and they have to start over when they come to Beiliang. These people will never leave.
The chaos in the world is getting worse and worse, and Jiangnan will eventually become a place of right and wrong. If they stay in Jiangnan with their temperament, they will probably suffer losses in the future.
We are both members of the Xue family, I..."
Chen Yue understood it, but this was a family matter of the Xue family, and he couldn't get in the middle of it.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things." Xue Shen stood up and said with a smile:
"After all, people are getting old, and they still hesitate to do things now."
I remember when Xue Shen Shen was young, he was sharp-edged, decisive, and able to maneuver in officialdom.
Chenyue smiled and said: "You are getting older, you are obviously thinking more and more carefully."
"You boy, you are really good at flattering me!" Xue Shen blew his snow-white beard and laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"Crunch~"
Just as the two of them were laughing, Xue Chengyi pushed the door open and said in shock:
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, nothing." Chenyue grinned at his father-in-law.
Xue Shen asked softly: "Is the memorial ceremony over?"
"Anthracene~"
Xue Chengyi's eyes darkened slightly and nodded: "I went to burn a few sticks of incense. The people in the border areas have a hard life~"
Nearly 100,000 stone tablets, large and small, have been erected on the Beiliang Heroes' Tomb. Looking around, you can see that there are heroic and loyal souls all over the mountains and plains.
Xue Shen nodded slightly: "You are right, so even if your son-in-law is here smiling and joking all day long, it would be much more difficult to start a war than if you were trying cases in the capital."
Xue Chengyi spread his hands indifferently: "Of course I understand this truth, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be my Xue family's son-in-law."
"Hahaha~"
Chapter completed!
