Xue Shenchen didn't speak, just took a sip of tea silently, then looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone knows that my granddaughter is married to King Liang of the North, right?"

Everyone nodded. The eldest daughter of the family was getting married, and naturally no one knew about it.

"Today I am going to announce a major event to everyone, a major event related to the future of the Xue family." Xue Shen raised her head and looked at the clan members in the room.

Everyone looked at a loss as to what was worthy of Xue Shenshen personally announcing it.

"I am determined~"

Xue Shenchen paused for a moment: "Sold off the family's land deeds, shops, and private residences in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xue family members moved to Beiliang one after another. From then on, we will live in Beiliang."

"What!"

"Moving north to Liang?"

"this……"

There were bursts of exclamations in the room. This news was a bit too sudden for them.

The Xue family is not a small family. There are several hundred direct and collateral clan members, plus the servants in each house, the number of servants is probably close to a thousand.

The family's property is even larger. It would take dozens of carts to transport all the belongings in this snow house. It would take a lot of effort to transport all these things.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before the old man Xue Bai sitting aside asked hesitantly: "Brother, this is a big deal, are you kidding me?"

Xue gave him a deep look: "Brother, when have I ever made a joke to you?"

Now everyone woke up one after another from the daze. Judging from Xue Shen's expression, she was definitely serious.

Xue Qilong hesitated for a moment and asked: "Uncle, the Xue family is living well in Jiangnan, why do they want to move north to Liang?"

Everyone has this doubt in their minds. Previously, the war in Jiangnan continued and the snow was deep, but the Xue family was not allowed to move. Now that the rebels are retreating steadily and are about to be completely wiped out, why are they leaving now?

"I think Beiliang is now more suitable for the Xue family to live and work in peace and contentment." Xue took a deep sip of tea and only gave such a reason that was not a reason.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Xue Qilong.

Everyone was confused by Xue Shen's answer. It seemed that this reason was not worth convincing them.

Xue Qilong said with a wry smile: "Uncle, you also know that the properties of our Xue family are mostly in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to move away. Moreover, Beiliang is a barbaric land in the north. Where can we find Qingzhou for convenience?

Business.

Besides, it’s hard to leave your homeland, and with so many people in the clan, big and small, I’m afraid many people won’t want to leave.

I'm afraid this important matter still needs careful discussion among the clan members."

With Xue Qilong taking the lead, several others also started talking to each other:

"Our chamber of commerce has not even opened a branch in Beiliang, how can it move there?"

"Liangdi is too far away from Qingzhou. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the climate~"

"Beiliang is still the border. The barbarians may attack one day. It would be too dangerous to move there~"

…

The ones who spoke were all middle-aged people. Although their tone of voice was low, their unwillingness to go was obvious in their words.

And Xue Qilong is vaguely the leader of this group of people, which is enough to show that he has a lot of prestige.

The only two old men glanced at Xue Shen, then looked at the somewhat noisy hall. They did not speak, but lowered their heads silently.

At a certain moment, everyone seemed to feel a cold air appearing in the hall, and everyone closed their mouths involuntarily.

Xue Shen glanced at everyone indifferently, and especially paused for a moment at Xue Qilong. Just such a glance made Xue Qilong feel his scalp numb in an instant, and he swallowed the words he had just spit out.

In the quiet hall, Xue Shen said calmly: "I am informing you this time, not discussing with you."

short.

Domineering.

This sentence blocked everyone's mouths, especially Xue Qilong's face turned red. He always felt that Xue Shenchen's words were meant for him.

But he was full of unwillingness. He was in charge of many of the Xue family's properties. Once he moved to Beiliang, many properties would cease to exist, and his status would definitely plummet by then.

Moreover, he believes that once they move to Beiliang, the Xue family's strength and reputation will be greatly reduced, and their wealth will be greatly reduced.

Who can accept it?

Xue Shenchen continued to say calmly: "The Xue family's various properties in Jiangnan will be transferred, and those that cannot be transferred will be sold. As long as you want to move, you will be able to move.

The King of Liang has promised me that when the children of the Xue family enter Liangdi, those who want to be officials can do so after examination, and the government will provide strong support if they want to do business.

I assure you that the initial days may be a little harder than now, but after many years you will know that I am doing this for the good of the Xue family."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Many people still had doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.

Over the years, Xue Shenchen's prestige in the family has been very high.

"Uncle, for such a big matter, you should listen to everyone's opinions. It's hard to convince everyone if you just make a decision in one sentence, right?" Xue Qilong finally said this after holding back for a long time.

He was very panicked and his voice was slightly trembling.

Everyone's hearts trembled. Xue Qilong was too courageous. No one in the Xue family dared to speak to Xue Shen like this.

Xue Bai next to him glanced at Xue Qilong, with a wry smile on his lips, but ultimately did not speak.

Xue Shenchen did not get angry, but said something that made everyone's expressions change drastically:

"This time I am being arbitrary, but I will give you a chance to choose. If you are willing to go to Beiliang, just follow me. I will not treat you badly if I have a bite to eat. If you are not willing to go, the family property will be handed over to each other.

Keep your private property for yourself, and you can continue to live in Qingzhou.

But remember what I said, if you don’t go to Liangdi now, it won’t be so easy to go to Liangdi in the future.”

As soon as these words came out, even the expressions of the two old men changed. What did these words mean? Didn't it mean that the huge Xue family was going to be split into two?

What happened, or what was about to happen, made Xue Shenchen make such an important decision.

There was no more sound in the room, and even Xue Qilong stopped talking. He knew that Xue Shenchen had made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything.

Xue Shen waved his sleeves deeply: "Go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer in five days!"

"Farewell, uncle!"

Xue Qilong saluted first with a very ugly expression, then strode out of the snow house, and the others also saluted and left in turn.

Many people were in a hurry. Suddenly hearing such shocking news, they had to go back and discuss it with their families.

Xue Shen looked at the departing figures in silence, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

The old Xuebei fell one step behind, looked at his brother and asked: "Brother, do you really want to go to this step?"

Xue Shen sat down on the chair, her eyes seemed to have regained the decisiveness of the past, and she said in a deep voice:
