Chapter 129 Infighting in the Family
Ever since Yuan Shu took Diao Chan as his concubine, the Jiangdong family has been trying to select a woman of the right age from their own family for Yuan Shu to take her as his concubine.
This is a common method to achieve the bundling of interests. With one of their own by Yuan Shu's side, these aristocratic families won't worry that Yuan Shu will suddenly fall out, and the effect of pillow sex is not ordinary!
If they are lucky enough to be the first to give birth to one or two outstanding heirs, these aristocratic families will make a lot of money. They can all see what kind of material Yuan Yao is. Although he is quite brave, he is not mentally and resourceful enough to inherit Yuan Shu's legacy.
The eldest son is not very talented, which makes these aristocratic families think carefully.
However, because Yuan Shu was busy with matters in Jingzhou some time ago, and these aristocratic families have been tinkering with Yizhou, this matter was not put on the agenda.
But now the Jingzhou family has defected to Yuan Shu, especially since Yuan Shu has decided to divide the fiefdom between the two families, which makes them anxious. Each of them has paid a lot of money to ask Guo Jia to help them.
Facing Yuan Shu's question, Guo Jia smiled and took out two banknotes and put them on the table: "Isn't that right! These two aristocratic families are about to fight over the fiefdom. Well, my lord, this is what they asked me to say.
reward."
Yuan Shu glanced at it casually: "It's not a small gesture! Okay, stop pretending and take the money back! Don't be pretentious."
Guo Jia quickly put the banknote into his arms with a smile: "My lord is wise! Knowing that Jia's life is difficult, Jia is really grateful."
Yuan Shu looked at this guy who looked like he was obsessed with money, and said speechlessly: "Where is the monthly salary I give you? There are so many land deeds and real estate, and it's not enough for you? It's really out of shape! No wonder these aristocratic families every time
I'll come to you if I have anything."
Guo Jia took a sip of wine without caring at all: "My lord is joking, Yuan Hao and the others don't dare to look for it! If it were left on Yuan Hao, it is estimated that as soon as the money was handed over, even the person and the money would be gone, and in the end we would have to spend
Money is what makes people money. The Lord only has me as a jester around him, so they can bribe him a little or two!"
"Although Jia is greedy for money, he knows what should be collected and what should not be collected. Moreover, Jia can get things done after collecting the money, and they will not lose at all. Jia can also help the lord with some things and save him some money!"
Seeing Guo Jia's proud look, Yuan Shu laughed and scolded: "You! You! Fengxiao, you are so eloquent!"
"Okay, you ask those aristocratic families to send those two women to my wife's house first. If Feng and Chan'er approve, then send them to me for a look."
The marriage is of great benefit to both parties, and Yuan Shu will naturally not refuse it. Just like the Zhen family, if Zhen Mi and Yuan Shu's legitimate son Yuan Yao hadn't been married, how could Yuan Shu trust and support each other so much?
As a high-ranking person, some rules still need to be maintained and observed. With the marriage, these aristocratic families can be much more stable. And Yuan Shu can express through them some things that he wants to express to the aristocratic families, but it is not convenient to say them explicitly.
However, Yuan Shu will definitely not accept these two people too quickly. He must first examine the temperament and appearance of these two people, and take advantage of this period of time to work hard. It is best to get Diao Chan pregnant first. After all, he still hopes that he
The background of the successor can be cleaner to avoid being affected by the forces behind him.
"How are the aristocratic families in Jiangdong and Jingzhou doing during this time?"
The new official appointment had been issued for more than half a month, and Yuan Shu began to express concern.
Guo Jia smiled sarcastically: "My lord, don't you know who those aristocratic families are? During this period, the official circles in Jiangdong and Jingzhou were completely clean, except for dozens of people who really had brain problems and were pulled down immediately.
, the other officials of the aristocratic families are all very diligent in political affairs and do not dare to be corrupt at all. The effect is amazing!"
Hearing Guo Jia's emotion, Yuan Shu was also happy: "Haha! All the prosperity in the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. These aristocratic families are working hard now! But this trick can only last at most.
I’m afraid it won’t work well in the next six months.”
Guo Jia nodded: "My lord, it's good if you can realize this. However, the tit-for-tat confrontation between these two families has caused a lot of problems."
"Oh? What's the problem?"
"Local gangsters deliberately make things difficult for officials, and there are even some aristocratic families in Jingzhou who deliberately go against local officials."
Yuan Shu waved his hand casually and said nonchalantly: "Leave these trivial matters to Yuan Hao to see and solve them! You can warn those Jingzhou aristocratic families for me not to do anything too outrageous, otherwise they will have to think about the consequences themselves.
"
"Of course, there is no need to worry about some secret troubles. If an official can't handle these things well, then what's the use of him? Anyway, these aristocratic families have many talents. If a loser comes down, let them send someone to take over.
chant!"
Yuan Shu now just sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and lets the two families have a good fight. He only needs to master the balance. Anyway, the loss is not his own interests.
If he wasn't afraid of losing his moral integrity, Yuan Shu would really like to give them both more strength and add fuel to the fire. It would be best to make the two families incompatible with each other, so that he can feel completely at ease.
"By the way, how is the situation in Jizhou?"
Guo Jia came up with a piece of intelligence: "Yuan Shao still easily captured Jizhou. Pan Feng and Han Fu are already on their way to Jiangdong with the support of Jiang Qin's navy. They are expected to arrive at Jinling within ten days.
"
Yuan Shu smiled: "Well, not bad. It seems that this time Yuan Shao makes a fortune, I will also make a small fortune!"
"How do you plan to arrange these two heroes?"
"Pan Feng's ability and foundation are no less than Wentai's. Let him go to Xiangyang to replace Han Sheng in guarding Jingzhou. Send Han Sheng to Wuling and prepare to attack Yizhou next year. Yizhou has steep mountains and many checkpoints.
Among the generals, Han Sheng is more suitable to deal with it."
"As for Han Fu! Let's place him in Jinling first and let him replace Xun You as the governor of Danyang. Let's examine him for a while and then reuse him in the future! After all, this person can manage the entire Jizhou in an orderly manner, and his political ability must be extraordinary.
Let’s take Danyang to test his level first, and let him adapt to Jiangdong’s management policies.”
Han Fu is Pan Feng's old master. It is impossible for Yuan Shu to say that he has no grudges. However, these two people are indeed very capable. It would be a pity not to use them. Therefore, Yuan Shu can only choose to place these two people separately. One is in Jingzhou,
One is in Yangzhou, letting time dilute everything.
Yuan Shu was still a little wary of Han Fu. After all, it was Yuan Shao who tricked him. Although he had nothing to do with Yuan Shu, he and Yuan Shao were brothers, so it was inevitable that the other party would be resentful of him.
Without a long period of observation and testing, Yuan Shu really wouldn't dare to let the opponent out easily. If he puts this guy in Danyang, it won't hurt even if there are some minor problems. After all, this is his base camp, and he can't change the situation no matter what.
.
Guo Jia immediately understood what Yuan Shu meant, and this was indeed the safest approach.
