Chapter 2786: Is this what the Yuan family does, human affairs?
Chen Xi expected that the major aristocratic families were completely silent. After all, this was a severe pain that was almost like cutting flesh, and the official could not specify that the major aristocratic families must do this.
Repaying debts is a matter of course. None of the surviving aristocratic families are bad enough to be wiped out. It is really not advisable to replace rules with morality.
But even so, Chen Xi is deeply annoyed. He originally thought that the Chen family would follow up, but the Chen family is still hesitating now, which is embarrassing. As for the other families, wake up, there is no movement at all now, and of course Chen Xi also
It’s hard to say anything.
"Anyway, you hurry up. Although I can't do anything about my group of people, I can still do something about you." Chen Xi patted Yuan Shu's shoulder angrily. After all, he took five billion of his own supplies.
He is always very talkative and will definitely give me back what he took from me.
"Just wait, I will definitely give you an explanation before our Yuan family completely gets out." Yuan Shu snorted, but if he did it, he would finish it with tears in his eyes.
"As long as you say this, I don't want to say anything about the integrity of your old Yuan family, but I still believe what you Yuan Gongli said." Chen Xi started to give Yuan Shu a high hat with satisfaction. In fact, Chen Xi didn't think much about it until now.
Yes, it would be best to have more than one, but not just forget it.
In fact, when Chen Xi and his party rode horses to Sili, Chen Ji and Xun Shuang had returned from the north and came to Hanoi again. For the same reason as before, this time it was for unification. The Chen family, Xun family, and Sima family must have
I'm going to check out the situation.
By the way, these three families almost knew that they could not delay any longer, so they stopped exchanging letters and asked the previous family head to meet in person. After all, some things cannot be explained clearly in letters, but in person, they can be explained clearly.
.
Previously, because Sima Jun really couldn't do much, even if they were discussing, Chen Ji and Xun Shuang always felt that something was missing, so this time the two old guys came to Sima's house in Hanoi in person.
Similarly, the Sima family also opened its doors to invite Chen Ji and Xun Shuang to discuss matters. The three families are now mixed up like this. It is appropriate for them to be prosperous and suffer losses. They are all smart people. They can fight for their internal interests, but in terms of external affairs, regardless of
Whether it is the Chen family, the Xun family, or the Sima family, they all say that the steps must be consistent. There is not much to say about this.
"Yuan Yi's body seems to be still strong, and considering the situation of the Sima family, will you go to Chang'an in person this time?" Xun Shuang asked looking at Sima Ju who was sitting on the main seat with a cane.
"There are not many younger people in the family who can use them. Now the old man can use his spare energy to protect them." Sima Jun said in a refreshing tone, "I thought I was going to die a few years ago.
, I didn’t expect that after running around in the past few years, I actually feel that time has come back, and indeed I can still hold on for some more time.”
"You'd better find an heir as soon as possible to inherit the Sima family. I think Sima Boda is good. Sima Zhongda's talent is amazing, but he is a bit suspicious and his personality is not very bright." The relationship between the Chen family and the Sima family is closer.
Some, so Chen Ji spoke more directly.
By the way, in Chen Ji's eyes, Sima Yi is no longer not very sunny, but has a somewhat gloomy personality, and his mind is a little heavy. Although the Chen family and the Xun family have no shortage of such gloomy guys, in Chen Ji's opinion, Sima Yi is a bit
Too much.
A little kid who is only eighteen or nineteen years old has the same personality as these old guys who are sixty or seventy years old. The Sima family must have taken the wrong medicine, right?
Because the Chen family has suffered from such a young generation, they have been heavy-minded and talented since they were young, and then they made a lot of losses in a big career. Therefore, Chen Ji feels that it is better not to let Sima Yi inherit the Sima family. This guy Kick him out quickly and let him break out of the door to build a business or something.
It's easy to have a lot of fun and then let the main line take the blame. The more powerful the talent, the harder it is to clean up the troubles caused. Chen Ji doesn't want to clean up the mess like his ancestors did.
"Boda's character and abilities are very good, but Boda is not the most outstanding. Although Zhongda has a gloomy mind, there is no one above Zhongda's head." Sima Jun said directly. He has lived for ninety years. How many years old can you still see your grandchildren clearly?
"It's good that you are mentally prepared. I think Zhongda's ability is reliable, but with Zhongda's character, you need to think of a way." Chen Ji saw that Sima Jun had made a clear decision, so it was hard to say anything.
"Let's talk about the Yuan family's pot. This time we have to give an accurate message. The slack season is coming soon, and we don't have much time after that." Xun Shuang said decisively after seeing that Chen Ji and Sima Jun had finished talking. This is the reason for coming here this time. Of course, the most important thing is to go to Chang'an to report to the eldest princess that he is still alive and not to be expelled.
The latter is the real big deal. It can be said that except for the more frenzied way of seizing the title with gold and silver, and the death of one's own family, there are really not many ways to remove the title in the Han Dynasty, but such a major event after the change of the world is the new emperor's level. , if you still don’t come, then there’s really nothing to say about removing your title.
So this time, even the Yong family sent a person to rush to Chang'an with the tribute gold, stone and jade articles. He didn't have to come last time, but he had to come this time. If he didn't come this time, he would really be in trouble. I'm looking for death. Although the Yong family is a homebody and a homebody, it doesn't mean that this family is stupid.
"What do you mean?" Sima Jun calmed down. In fact, he had already had an idea after thinking about it for so long.
"Burn it." Xun Shuang and Chen Ji spoke at the same time, then looked left and right at Sima Jun. Sima Jun nodded, knowing that if his own family had not had the same idea, this time the Chen family and the Xun family would have burned them all even if they held him hostage. Lost.
"Besides our three families, you have also persuaded other people." After Sima Jun nodded, Xun Shuang and Chen Ji were relieved a lot. Although they had already thought about it before, even if the Sima family disagreed this time, even if they Even if it means forced interference, it must be passed, but it would be great if everyone is happy.
"We didn't dare to ask directly, but the situation is not good. Except for a few particularly wealthy families who are thinking about burning them after a while, there is basically no movement from other wealthy families. Even the Yuan family has expressed its attitude and gave us It shows the meaning of doing this." Chen Ji said with a sigh. Anyway, their house was going to be burned down. Whether Chen Xi informed or not, they would burn it down!
Just because Chen Zhong has now got the Zoroastrian sect in his hands and has suppressed a main army of Kushan, the Chen family feels that they can do it. Money is nothing. If it is gone, you can make more. But if the opportunity If it were lost, even the Chen family would have to vomit three liters of blood.
"Not even shaken?" Sima Jun raised his eyebrows and felt a little incredible. Although this matter is equivalent to burning money, there are also benefits in it. I will clearly give you the opportunity to buy people's hearts, so no one will notice it, right? , the other wealthy families who have been fighting with them for so many years are so stupid, is that a joke?
"A few families have this idea, but they are a bit wavering. It is said that the Deng family in Nanyang has summoned various sects to talk several times, but they can't get it going. The same is almost the case with the Yang family." Xun Shuang said, and Sima Jun heard this. This reassures me a lot.
"Then find a time and let's burn it together." Chen Ji changed the topic and said, "End this matter as soon as possible, so as not to delay it any longer while we wait for changes within the family."
Xun Shuang and Sima Jun nodded. The amount of money involved in this matter was too much. Even their family couldn't bear it. It's not like every family was like those rich people who just burned it.
Just thinking about it, the Zhen family was busy with farming when they burned those things, so not many people saw it. Later, they asked the official to issue a notice to let the people know about it.
More importantly, when the announcement was made, the Zhen family was still talking internally about whether they should go out or not. As a result, a clan elder directly said, even if you burn those things, our Zhen family still needs to discuss whether we should go out. What do you think? Use that thing to force us to submit. You are overthinking it. People's loans and lease notes worth only two to three billion dollars have been left there for more than ten years without anyone taking care of them!
Just listening to these words, you know that this matter is nothing to the Zhen family. They are not an orthodox wealthy family that relies on land, leases, and loans. They just burn a pile of lease notes. It can't be said that it hurts the muscles and bones.
You must know that in the past few years, the Zhen family has caught a ride on the soaring dragon of Liu Bei. The industry is like sesame blossoms. It has grown and expanded in circles. Therefore, it is full of confidence. Of course, it seems that it is too expanded. , the proportion of the brain is a bit small...
On the other side, the leader of the Deng family met the long-awaited elder of the Yuan family when he passed Hangu Pass.
"Old Yuan family?" Deng Zhen heard his housekeeper say that he saw the Yuan family's bicycle frame in front of him, and his face immediately darkened, "Go around, go around, stay away from the beast like the Yuan family. This family has been inappropriate lately." The Son of Man is not a thing, and can be easily manipulated."
In fact, it is difficult for Deng Zhen to explain clearly how he should view the old Yuan family. He is envious, and he is indeed envious. He is resentful, and he is indeed resentful. The old Yuan family is simply not a human being. It does not give other aristocratic families a way to survive. How can this kind of family be like this? It's not finished.
However, even if Deng Zhen ordered a detour, the old Yuan family was blocking the Deng family at Hangu Pass. How could they let the Deng family run away? Yuan Sui saw the Deng family's carriage turning around and directly ordered people to catch up. He wanted to run away, but he wanted to Even if I run, I want to see if the Yuan family is happy or not.
Speaking of which, in the past, the Yuan family could never do such a thing that would cause them to lose their status. They had disciples and former officials all over the world, and the old Yuan family, the fifth generation and the third prince, had always managed their status well.
However, since Yuan Shao, the conscience of the old Yuan family, capsized, the painting style of the old Yuan family, led by Yuan Shu, the husky, has been running all the way to the unknown, and has basically exceeded the lower limit.
Especially after discovering that Yuan Tan gradually showed his character as a heroic master and successfully established a country in the West, and that he had put the land deed into the brazier and completed all the tricks of the Central Plains wealthy families, the old Yuan family found that the family blacklist was really enjoyable and the painting style Even more bizarre.
Naturally, facing the Deng family's escape, Yuan Sui sent people to chase them without hesitation. He wanted to run away. My old Yuan family has been waiting here for several days. This can make you run away. Then my old Yuan family
Don't be embarrassed and be thrown into grandma's house. Don't leave the Deng family!
"Why did the Master of the Deng family come to this?" Yuan Sui greeted from afar, with a smile on his face. He was not annoyed by the Deng family's style at all. That kind of gentle smile made Deng Zhen feel that this matter was probably not good.
Who knows what the Yuan family is planning to do?
However, Deng Zhen really couldn't turn a blind eye to Yuan Sui. After all, the other party was also an old man, and he was still chasing after him. Regardless of his identity or anything else, Deng Zhen had no choice.
Then Deng Zhen had no choice but to stop the car and dismount. No matter how you say it, the old Deng family is still a top wealthy family with nearly twenty princes in a row. Although it has been a bit declining recently, it is still very solid in foundation, so it is really necessary to fight hard.
If so, I'm not actually afraid of the Yuan family.
"I've met Old Mr. Yuan." Deng Zhen bowed and threw Yuan Sui to the salute, and Yuan Sui smiled in return, completely ignoring the embarrassment of chasing him before. This kind of integrity made Deng Zhen's heart twitch.
His face is indeed inferior to that of the other party.
"The head of the Deng family is going to Chang'an. It's better to go with my Yuan family." Yuan Sui said with a smile. Deng Zhen frowned when he heard this and wanted to refuse. It is said that the relationship between the two families was good. After all, they were very close.
But now I feel a little distant.
However, before Deng Zhen could speak, Yuan Sui said with a smile, "The Deng family master is worried about people's opinions. My father and I were not afraid of the fashion of drinking and drinking in Luoyang back then."
Deng Zhen's eyes twitched twice. Of course he wasn't afraid back then. Your Yuan family didn't make such a big fuss back then. Now, you really can't keep up.
"Since Uncle Yuan and my father are old friends, why is it so difficult to be true?" Deng Zhen softened his tone a lot, and directly put himself in the position of a younger generation. He no longer talked as the head of the family and the elder of the clan, but as an uncle and nephew.
On feelings.
Yuan Suiwen responded without blushing and his heart skipped a beat. Anyway, he still had the face. He smiled and said, "What do I mean by making things difficult for you? It's just that for the sake of old friends, a fortune was given to the Deng family. What's more, your name is
As an uncle, of course I have to plan for my nephew."
Deng Zhen cursed and didn't say a word, but his facial expressions successfully showed Yuan Sui everything he wanted to say.
[Bastard, are all the old Yuan family so shameless? They can say anything. I called you uncle, and you not only answered the call, but you actually said such a thing back to me. The old Yuan family is as shameless as the city walls.
Around the corner?] Deng Zhen was so shocked that he didn’t know how to respond.
Yuan Sui saw Deng Zhen's curse words very clearly, but he was not surprised at all and remained cheerful. He even jumped off the horse, patted Deng Zhen on the shoulder, and acted like an older generation seeing a younger generation.
The look on his face made Deng Zhen not angry to death.
"That's enough. Please tell me if you have anything to do with the Yuan family. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk about anything." Deng Zhen was so angry that he even trembled a little, but he quickly took a deep breath and stopped.
He suppressed his anger firmly, and then no longer greeted his seniors with courtesy, but asked Yuan Sui seriously as the head of the Deng family.
"I should have said so a long time ago." Yuan Sui looked at Deng Zhen with a straight face and said, but Deng Zhen was not moved by the words and just looked at Yuan Sui.
"Old Yuan's family needs your Deng family to join us." Yuan Sui went straight to the point. As for the servants on both sides, he did not drive them away. These people could be taken by the family owner. If there was a traitor, the Deng family would have been doomed long ago.
"It's impossible. Your Yuan family is indeed the most powerful family, but two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain. The old Yuan family cannot support our Deng family. Our own children are our biological sons, and our Deng family cannot do that." Deng Zhen
He said bluntly, "It's okay to be a comrade-in-arms, it's okay to form an alliance, but it's not okay to join."
"First listen to the sincerity of our Yuan family before making any plans." Yuan Sui stood up straight, without the playful smile before, and looked more solemn.
"No, it is impossible for the Deng family to join your Yuan family. To be precise, it is impossible for any wealthy family to join your Yuan family. We have our own inheritance and our own pride. We can form alliances and help each other, but even in decline
As long as I can still get up, I will not bow my head." Deng Zhen shook his head and said to Yuan Sui.
"You don't even listen to the sincerity of our Yuan family's preparations?" Yuan Sui asked.
"I'm afraid the benefits are heavy, but I don't know if I can get them. It's a waste of money. Everyone knows that your family is not Chen Zichuan. If you can't get real money and silver benefits, don't think about such good things. My Deng family
He's not a fool either." Deng Zhen said solemnly.
Yuan Sui was stunned, and Deng Zhen sighed, "If this is the only thing the Yuan family has to do, then please excuse me for not accompanying the Deng family. The Deng family has the Deng family's road, and the Yuan family should take the Yuan family's Yangguan Road. I'll wait
Just don’t invade each other.”
After saying that, Deng Zhen gestured to leave, but Yuan Sui reached out and grabbed him directly. Deng Zhen immediately stopped and looked at Yuan Sui, "If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Yuan, just say goodbye."
"If we can't reach an agreement on this matter, then we can talk about other things, such as burning the land deeds." Yuan Sui said with a smile.
Hearing this, Deng Zhen looked at Yuan Sui with half-closed eyes, "Why did Mr. Yuan teach me?"
"I, the Yuan family, will give you one-third of the Deng family's lease certificate, IOU and other certificates, and ask the Deng family to burn those things." Yuan Sui said calmly.
"..." Deng Zhen frowned. Since the Yuan family did this, the Deng family has been in a state of half-and-half to burn or not to burn. If the Yuan family paid one-third of the money, the balance would be tipped in an instant.
Yes, but what are the benefits to the Yuan family?
"What, you're not tempted?" Yuan Sui looked at Deng Zhen with a smile. This was a city policy. If it hadn't been for spending too much money, all the families would have taken action. And the price offered by his Yuan family was enough to make the current entanglements clear.
A wealthy family would do this.
"I'm tempted, but what does your Yuan family want?" Deng Zhen was indeed tempted.
"One-third of the population." Yuan Sui looked at Deng Zhen and said.
"Too many." Deng Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and said.
"Then let's break up. My Yuan family is blocking people at Hangu Pass, Tongguan, and Qingni Pass. If your family doesn't want to, forget it. I can still wait for other families." Yuan Sui said with a sneer.
At this moment, Deng Zhen was in a dilemma. He could do this, but he just wasn't willing to do it.
