"I will not hide it from the King of Liang. The daughter of the grass people is only twenty-nine years old. She is born with the beauty of the country and the beauty of the country. The King of Liang has great achievements in the world. The grass people are bold and want to marry their daughter to the King of Liang. I don't know."
Hearing this, Jia Rong shook his head repeatedly. The people in the house were enough for him, and now Xiu'er, Cai Ling, Mi Huan and others were all pregnant with their children.
"Please give Prince Liang some more thought," Zhen Yi said with cupped hands, then said goodbye and left.
"Congratulations, my lord. It is said that the daughter of the head of the Zhen family is extremely beautiful and has a great reputation in Jizhou. There may be many children from aristocratic families willing to meet her and not hesitate to come all the way." Guo Jia said with a smile, as Jia Rong
As a military advisor, the intelligence matters were temporarily handed over to him, so he still knew some things about Jizhou.
"Fengxiao, you're kidding me too." Jia Rong said dissatisfied.
"My lord, now you are King Liang, and the whole world is watching you, not to mention a few people in the palace. It doesn't matter how many there are. There are dozens of emperors in ancient times, let alone the daughter of the Zhen family.
After marrying, Jizhou will become more stable. Zhen Yi is an old fox. Without enough benefits, he will definitely not try his best." Guo Jia said nonchalantly. He also had a good relationship with Jia Rong.
Don't dare to speak like this to any counselor, otherwise the ladies of Prince Liang's Mansion will get the news and still not pull off a layer of Guo Jia's skin.
Jia Rong suddenly saw dozens of beauties sleeping with him in his mind, playing various games on the bed and thinking about them.
"Don't mention this matter again." Jia Rong's face straightened.
Guo Jia showed a knowing smile and turned to leave.[
After the head of the Zhen family returned home, he immediately gathered the children of the clan together, and naturally told Jia Rong what he had said about promoting the children of the clan to officials.
The Zhen family has gained huge profits from transactions with Chang'an over the years. The only drawback is that there is no one in the officialdom. This is also a major shortcoming of the Zhen family. Now that Jia Rong has given the Zhen family such an opportunity, the children of the family suddenly
It was boiling. Compared with Yuan Shao, the Xiliang Army had greater foundation.
The Zhen family is a large family in Jizhou, with many branches and many outstanding children. Born in a merchant family, needless to say Zhen Yi, many people want to enter the officialdom.
Different from the lively Zhen family, the Xin family is much more desolate and deserted. In the past, when Yuan Shao was around, there was an endless stream of vehicles in front of the Xin family. They fell from heaven in an instant. Everyone in the Xin family was in a very happy mood.
It is heavy, and it is foreseeable that if the Xin family does not take measures, their family fortune may decline.
Xinbi is the head of the Xin family. In recent years, due to the cover of Yuan Shao's power, it has developed very fast. In less than a year, it can surpass the Zhen family, a family of merchants. However, the Xiliang army attacked Jizhou and crushed all these.
.
Not only the Zhen family, but also the Xin family has various business dealings with Chang'an. Even some of the equipment in the Jizhou army were traded between the Xin family and Chang'an. Their contribution to Jizhou was also great, but the Xiliang army captured it.
Jizhou's speed is too fast.
"Brother, what should we do now that Xiliang's army is strong?" Xin Pi asked. He is the head of the Xin family, and his eldest brother is the leading figure in the officialdom. The two of them cooperate very well.
"Don't worry, as expected, King Liang will definitely send someone here. Jizhou is not as simple as it seems. Xu You just came to power with Yuan Shao through flattery, but he doesn't have the vision or strength. The Xiliang army wants to completely pacify Jizhou.
It's not that simple to wipe out Yuan Shao's influence in Jizhou. The tactics of the Xiliang Army are very beneficial to the common people, but the aristocratic family does not accept this trick." Xin Ping said slowly, not at all regarding the current situation of the Xin family.
Don't worry, the Xin family has been developing for so many years and has great strength. Even if they can't stay in Jizhou, they can go to Chang'an or the Central Plains to develop.
In his heart, Xin Ping still favored Jia Rong. Although Yuan Shao ruled Jizhou for a long time, he made few achievements, and his advisers often fought among themselves. Take Tian Feng and Jushu as examples, they were both great sages.
Instead of being reused, the Xin family was suppressed by Xu You. The Xin family also remained silent under Yuan Shao's tent.
"Master Xin, Prince Liang invites you." A guard met the Xin brothers after passing the servant's announcement.
"Brother, what is this?" Xin Pi turned his attention to Xin Ping.
Xin commented: "You go ahead."
The guard cupped his fists and said, "Master Xin, Prince Liang wants you two to go together."
After talking with the Xin family, Jia Rong also made a plan in his mind. He would reuse the Xin family and the Zhen family to give hope to the aristocratic families in Jizhou, and then slowly exploit the strength of the aristocratic families, allowing the Xiliang army to have absolute dominance in Jizhou.
, No matter when, Jia Rong does not want to see the emergence of aristocratic families under his command that can affect political decisions. There are too many aristocratic families in Jizhou, and they must have done a lot of things to oppress the people over the years. This is also the current situation of all aristocratic families. When the people's lives cannot be improved,
When there is no guarantee, the fields in their hands are often purchased by aristocratic families at low prices. Some people even become tenants of the aristocratic families, responsible for farming for the aristocratic families. It is very difficult to get a small amount of food every year to support their families.
If you want to exploit the Jizhou family, it will not happen overnight. It requires the effort of boiling a frog in warm water. The temperature will slowly rise so that the family will notice it and gradually take back what they have in their hands. No matter when, Jia Rong will never let the family become powerful.
To the extent that it can influence the decision-making of the court.[
In an era when strength is paramount, Jia Rong's words are an imperial edict in Jizhou. The key is to implement this edict in a real way, rather than doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
"Fengxiao, let's go for a walk." After handling official duties, Jia Rong stretched out and greeted Guo Jiadao. Jizhou's snacks are also very famous in Chang'an. There are several classic Jizhou dishes in Fenglai Building.
The two walked out of the Zhou Mu Mansion, facing the evening breeze and feeling particularly comfortable. Now that it is summer, it would be nice to go out for dinner. Moreover, the night market in Jizhou has also resumed. Every night, the whole city is bustling with people.
There are an endless stream of merchants and hawkers, making it quite a prosperous scene.
"Fengxiao, where is the best place for you to look at?" Jia Rong turned his attention to Guo Jia.
"Go to Zhen's Restaurant, I heard that the food and wine there are more authentic." Guo Jiada said.
"Zhen's Restaurant? Is it opened by the Zhen's?" Jia Rong asked.
"Exactly, Zhen's Restaurant also opened in Chang'an. When I had nothing to do, I went there before, so I have an impression." Guo Jia replied.
"When will you learn to save money? The children at home are not young anymore. It's better to learn from Li Shun and Li Hu." Jia Rong took the opportunity to teach.
"My lord, you also know that despite your humble position, you just can't control your mouth. If you see something delicious, you must taste it. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to do anything. Money is something outside the body, why should you care." Guo Jia said with a smile:
"For capturing Jizhou this time, the reward for your humble position should be quite a lot, right?"
"Hmph, your little reward is not enough to eat at Feng Lai Tower." Jia Rong retorted unceremoniously. When he was with Guo Jia, there was not the same atmosphere as with other counselors.
People are like good friends who don't talk to each other, and Jia Rong admires Guo Jia very much for this.
After the two arrived at the restaurant, servants immediately came to entertain them. The Zhen family had a lot of contacts with Chang'an, so they naturally understood the service concept of customer first. This was the reason for the great development of Jizhou today. Every guest is what they have to serve.
If you are not satisfied with the food, or if there is any problem in the food, someone will solve it immediately. Therefore, Zhen's Restaurant is much more expensive than other restaurants, but there is still no shortage of customers.
"My dear guests, what do you want?" the servant asked.
"Do you have a private room here? Take us there." Jia Rong took a look at the surrounding environment and felt dissatisfied.
"Of course there are private rooms, but the price is the price," the servant said hesitantly.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "You will need money, so hurry up and take us to the box." There was a mixed crowd in the city. Jizhou had just been pacified and Jia Rong showed up. Even Guo Jia was very worried.
"Sir, these are the food and drinks the restaurant has given you." After a while, a maid came over and presented them with exquisite meals.
"Given to us?" Jia Rong didn't feel there was anything wrong with the maid's title.
"Well, the master of the house has ordered that all these food and drinks are free of charge," the maid said.
Jia Rong shook his head slightly. Someone from the Zhen family must have noticed that he was coming, so he said this.
"This time, I will bear it. If you come again in the future, you will have to pay." Guo Jia said calmly.
The maid bowed and left.
"Fengxiao, I'm afraid the free food and drinks from the Zhen family are not that delicious." Jia Rong said with a smile.
"My lord, don't you understand what these businessmen think? If you don't eat what they have for free, you won't feel comfortable."
Jia Rong laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Master, the adult in the box said that you have to pay next time." The maid told the person in charge of the restaurant exactly what Jia Rong said.
"Well, I understand. You go down and serve them with the best food and wine."
"yes.
After the maid left, the owner of this restaurant immediately reported everything here to the head of the Zhen family. Through Zhen Yi, all the Zhen family's businesses received the news that once anyone from the Zhou Mufu eats and drinks in the restaurant, it will be free of charge.
From the merchant's point of view, this is a completely loss-making sale, and the owner of the restaurant also believes that businessmen should not break the rules by one or two people in pursuit of profit. Dai Mei couldn't help but frown slightly.
"My lord, after the situation in Jizhou is settled, we will return to Chang'an. The military advisor's letter has already stated that Chang'an needs my lord to be in charge personally," Guo Jiadao.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "Military advisors always say this. Now Cao Jun is fighting Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and everything is peaceful under his rule. There is no need for me to go back and take charge."
"My Lord, the military advisor said that after Jizhou is pacified, we will discuss the Lord's enthronement." Guo Jia put down the wine cup in his hand and stared at Jia Rong with a burning gaze.
