Chapter 1278 Qingzhou Turmoil
From the day after the Xue family officially decided to move north, many sharp-eyed merchants and people in Qingzhou discovered that the entire Xue family was selling off various properties, and some people had even started to pack their bags, creating a busy scene.
For a family as big as the Xue family, it is impossible for these actions to be hidden from the eyes of interested people.
In fact, the Xue family had been preparing for this moment several months ago. Many businesses had been sold off secretly, and part of the property was secretly transferred to Beiliang. However, the previous movements were very small and did not attract anyone's attention.
Finally, the news spread that the Xue family was moving to Beiliang, and Qingzhou was shocked!
This is a family that has been in Qingzhou for hundreds of years. Many people in Qingzhou are already accustomed to the existence of the Xue family, and it has to be said that the Xue family's family tradition is much stronger than that of many wealthy nobles.
Although Xue Leihan, the eldest son of the Xue family, was a romantic and wild man at the time, I had never heard of him bullying the people and robbing women. At most, he would just drink wine with other Qingzhou young men.
If there is a disaster, the Xue family will take the lead in calling on all families to provide disaster relief.
Such a big family is enough to win praise from the people.
But now the Xue family is actually moving away, and to the far north of Beiliang. Everyone is shocked. Your Xue family just married a granddaughter before, but now the whole family is moving north. What on earth is going on?
Why?
Anyone with common sense would know that the environment in Qingzhou is much better than that in Beiliang, so only a fool would move to the border.
As soon as the news came out, countless scouts rushed to the capital to deliver the news to the capital.
While the outside world was in a turmoil and all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, Xue Shenchen was meeting his proud disciple in his house, and Cang Qing Taoist Master Gong Liangming was informed.
"The Xue family has too many properties, and many areas need to be dealt with urgently. The government will need your help when the time comes." Xue Shen said calmly.
"Teacher, don't worry, students will do their best."
In fact, Gong Liangming just received the news this morning, so he was naturally very surprised, but he didn't ask why, because he knew that his teacher must be doing things for a reason. He came here to see if there was anything he could do to help.
Xue Shen Shen then said: "Xue Qilong's lineage will stay in Qingzhou. If there is any problem then, you, the manager, can help appropriately within the scope allowed by national law."
"Understood~"

Although he agreed, Gong Liangming heard a hint of loneliness from Xue Shen's deep mouth. It seemed that something had happened within the Xue family.
"I have taught many apprentices in my life, and you are the one I am most proud of." Xue Shen said in a deep and orderly manner:
"You and Xue Chengyi studied together since you were young. You two have the most similar temperaments. You are upright, not tactful, and easily offend others.
The land of Qingyang is the richest in the world, and the manager of Cangqing Road is naturally a position that countless people are jealous of. There are not only a few people in the court who are eyeing this position. In the past, when the Xue family was in Qingzhou, no one would have any idea about you, but in the future,
It’s different, lest someone stumbles you, you have to be prepared in advance.”
There was a hint of worry in Xue Shen's deep words, and she was very concerned about his disciple.
In fact, Xue Shenchen really wanted to take Gong Liangming away. The official atmosphere in Liangdi was very suitable for Gongliangming, and Beiliang also lacked such talents.
But he is not from the Xue family, and Xue Shenchen is not qualified to decide his future for him.
Gong Liangming smiled slightly: "Teacher, don't worry, I have been in the officialdom for twenty years, so I know what I am doing.
Even if you can’t survive in Cangqing Dao, can’t you still go to Beiliang to seek refuge with the teacher in the future?”
"Hahaha!"

Xue Shen looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "If you go to Beiliang, the teacher will definitely lose face and ask the King of Liang for a full-time official position for you."
"Hahaha~"
They both laughed out loud at the same time.
…
In the next few days, the Xue family was bustling with people. Many heads of the aristocratic families came to visit in person, wanting to find out what happened to the Xue family's move to the north. However, Xue Shenchen was such an old fox, and they were surprised not to find out any news.
Then when major families came to visit, Xue Shenchen became a businessman and sold some of the family's properties to them. These people were not short of money and had the ability to take over these shops, and for Xue Shenchen's sake, they also
Don't dare to lower the price too low.
In the hall, Xue Shen was sitting deeply, and beside him was Huangfu Yanling. The deputy chief minister of Wentian Division had personally rushed to Qingzhou to arrange for the Xue family to move north.
The old housekeeper Fuxiang kept reporting on the Xue family's activities in the past few days:
"The first group of tribesmen have already set off directly to Beiliang. Most of them are old, weak, women and children, and Mr. Xuebai is in charge.
Various properties are stepping up their efforts to sell off. Xue Qilong is mainly responsible for this part of the matter, and he is also very serious about it.

All the major chambers of commerce and the escort bureaus have given replies. They will comply with any request of the Xue family. The first batch of grain and grass is already being loaded on the ship, and they will set off to the north soon.
…”
The entire Xue family is extremely busy now. According to the previous arrangement, the elderly and children will go first and do not need to bring anything with them. There will be someone to pick them up after they arrive in Beiliang.
As for the family property in the mansion, it will take some time to put it away, so the young men of each family stayed behind to deal with these belongings.
Xue Shen listened and nodded frequently. Most of the people in Xue's family were in business, and they were naturally comfortable doing these things, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"Little friend Huangfu, are there any movements from various forces in the city?" Xue Shen looked at Huangfu Yanling deeply.
Although moving is troublesome, it is not dangerous. The real danger should come from the major families.
Huangfu Yanling said in a deep voice: "As soon as the news came out, all the forces could not sit still. It is estimated that within two days, the capital and Longxi will receive the news.
Mr. Xue, we should move faster and leave before Longxi has time to react."
"Let me arrange these things, little friend. The Xue family will cooperate with you." Xue Shen said calmly.
Chenyue's ability to send Huangfu Yanling here proves that his ability must be good.
"Okay, I'll leave these matters to the juniors." Huangfu Yanling agreed without hesitation, not forgetting to say:
"Xue Lao should set off early. If we arrive in Beiliang a day earlier, the prince will feel at ease."
With Huangfu Yanling leaving, Xue Shenchen finally had time to stretch out.
Specific things are done by people below, but the overall situation still needs to be grasped by himself, which is not an easy task for Xue Shenchen at his age.
Fuxiang asked from the side: "Master, when will we leave?"
"No hurry." Xue Shen stood up slowly and said, "First prepare the car and accompany me to Yangzhou. It's time to meet old friends before leaving."
Fuxiang nodded understandingly. Naturally, he went to Yangzhou to meet the old head of the Zhao family.
