After dinner, the heads of the aristocratic families were sent back. The main task of the first day was completed. The goal of the day was to identify the aristocratic families.
Similarly, the heads of each aristocratic family also need some time to think about what Chen Xi said today. Tomorrow will be Chen Xi's bank promotion and discussions on special drawing rights and minting rights.
As for Chen Xi now, he has not revealed any information. He only tells the heads of various aristocratic families to remember to bring useful people from each family. This tone clearly indicates that the benefits will be distributed tomorrow, and the heads of each aristocratic family will definitely not forget it.
"Mi'er..." Chen Xi pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache, "Forget it, go back to my house. When I calm down later, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"I'm waiting, Zichuan." A smile flashed across Zhen Mi's face, and then she once again returned to her previous gentle and approachable expression.
"This..." Chen Xi looked at Wu Yuan who had not left yet, and still didn't know what the other person's name was. Although he knew that she was the spokesperson of the Wu family in Yizhou, he really didn't know what the other person's name was.
"Marquis Chen, just call me Wu Yuan." Wu Yuan's calm and clear voice came over, but it was obvious that she didn't want to contact Chen Xi.
"What's going on with that map?" Chen Xi went straight to the point.
"South of Yizhou." Wu Yuan's answer made Chen Xi stunned for a moment, and then he understood that it was the map of south of Yunnan. Is there a local map of that kind of place at this time? That is the road to the south of Yunnan.
Current map of Myanmar.
"Have you been to such a far place?" Chen Xi asked puzzledly. That already fell into the category of the Southern Silk Road.
"During the reign of Emperor Wu, Zhang Gong (Zhang Qian) once said that there was a secret passage in the southwest leading to Shendu (India) and to Daxia (Afghanistan). Emperor Wu once sent people there and succeeded." Wu Yuan
He replied very calmly.
"Is this map left over from that time?" Chen Xi looked at the old map and had no idea that it was from three hundred years ago.
"Well, I think Chen Hou needs this thing very much." Wu Yuan said calmly, "As for the relevant customs and habits south of Yizhou, I will give the relevant classics to Chen Hou, and then Chen Hou will know it himself.
"
Chen Xi waved his hand, indicating that Wu Yuan could leave. He could tell that the other party didn't like staying here very much, and Chen Xi had no intention of forcing the others, so he let her leave.
"Mi Zhen, why are you here? Where are the elders in your family?" Chen Xi looked at Mi Zhen in confusion and asked.
"My brother asked me to come and see the market, but I feel like there is no difference." Mi Zhen thought for a while and said.
Mi Zhen learned relevant etiquette from Cai Yan. She was just nervous before, but after she relaxed, she found that these things were actually not as strict as Cai Yan required. It was like a person who learned something very difficult and was half-dead after getting through it.
, the test questions turned out to be unbelievably simple, like those of a primary school student.
"Don't be too proud. Remember to find someone who knows business tomorrow, because there will be many problems involving money tomorrow. Finding such a person will be of great benefit to your family." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Don't worry, brother sent me here because I know these things." Mi Zhen said proudly. She was born in the Mi family and was quite good at this aspect.
"Zichuan, you can rest assured about sister Zhen'er." Seeing that Chen Xi didn't believe it, Zhen Mi helped Mi Zhen explain, and Mi Zhen looked at Chen Xi proudly after hearing Zhen Mi's words.
"Oh, it's nothing for you, so you can go." Chen Xi waved his hand and sent Mi Zhen away, while Mi Zhen looked at Zhen Mi and Chen Xi up and down, with a look of realization on her face until Zhen Mi turned red.
, Mi Zhencai said with a smile, "I won't disturb your good things, I'll leave first~"
"I'll accompany you around." Chen Xi sighed and left with Zhen Mi. As for the mess here, don't worry about it. Someone will naturally clean it up when you turn around.
After all, it was already winter. Chen Xi took Zhen Mi on the road for a while, bought some jewelry, and then sent Zhen Mi back to Zhen's house. By that time, the sky was completely dark.
"Master." The housekeeper of the Zhen family looked at Zhen Mi helplessly and saluted. The Zhen family already knew what happened today and didn't bother to say anything. Anyway, when the Zhen family didn't have a legitimate son, they knew that sooner or later they would.
When this happens, you have to be mentally prepared.
In the past, I thought it was a big deal and let her marry into Zhen's family. Now that I see the situation, it's better not to think about the unrealistic situation of marrying into my wife. Just go to bed and see if the two concubines Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao can be rescued.
Anyway, the Zhen family can only wait for the main line to be changed.
"Go back home." Zhen Mi sighed secretly and replied.
On the border of Jizhou, it is difficult for anyone to hide something that the Zhen family wants to know. Naturally, she also knows very well what she did today. The Zhen family probably knows about it. As for the elders, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
Unlike other aristocratic families, the elders of the Zhen family only have the right to make suggestions and not to execute them. By the way, it is impossible for the elders of the Zhen family to be stronger than the head of the family. Zhen Yi should be on guard when she is alive. After all, if she is an orphan and a widowed mother,
The clan elders and power are greater than the head of the family, so there is no need for his daughter and his wife to mix.
It can be said that Zhen Yi is actually very capable, but he was unlucky enough to die too early, but the methods he left behind were indeed successful in suppressing the elders of the Zhen family, at least in the Zhen family. What are Zhang and Zhen Mi going to do?
There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Not long after Chen Xi returned, Jia Xu, Li You, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others appeared one after another. Finally, Lu Su appeared in front of everyone wrapped up like a bear.
"It's all here." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"This is completely different from what we planned before!" Li You said with a wry smile, but he did not directly criticize Chen Xi for what he did wrong.
"Our previous plan was also for development, and we didn't say who would develop it. Just say so. Don't you think the Shijia development is very suitable?" Chen Xi said with a smile, with a very gentle look on his face, not worried at all.
"Zichuan, don't be careless. We did say before that it must be developed, and we also said that the family should share the public grievances, but this is not the case now. This is completely beyond our plan!" Liu Ye said with some annoyance after taking the words.
"Well, I know that the previous statement was to transfer some aristocratic families for development. We will also move the common people there, so as to balance the world situation and the pressure on the grain-producing lands of the Central Plains." Chen Xi nodded and said.
Before Liu Ye could ask Chen Xi why he was still messing around even though he knew all this, Chen Xi answered Liu Ye's question, "This method is too conservative and not in line with maximizing interests. From a strategic perspective, it is at best a transfer of conflicts.
After much thought, I think it would be better to eliminate the contradiction."
