[There are just a few aristocratic families. If we could add more, we wouldn’t have to go through such trouble. It would be much easier to manage the ancestral lands of all the aristocratic families together. 】 Chen Xi has already silently made calculations in his heart.
Chen Xi also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. If revealed too eagerly, it will arouse suspicion. Just like now, even if Chen Shang has doubts, there is no way to confirm it. He can only choose to carefully speculate and verify it later. My own opinion.
As for waiting for the future development of the Northeast Plain, Chen Xi can guarantee that he will definitely have a headache and cheer at the same time. After all, the upper field is indeed the upper field, the small acres are indeed changed to the large acres, and the land deed is indeed in their hands. Chen Xi is not joking. , the most troublesome thing is farming.
But having said that, the aristocratic family itself does not farm. Those who farm are long-term workers, part-time workers hired by the family, and their own servants. This is not too bad. At most, it is the first time to move here and I feel heartache. After the first year, they no longer feel distressed when the granary is full.
In this way, in fact, Chen Xi is not trying to trick the aristocratic family. On the contrary, the aristocratic family has made huge profits. However, thinking about the vast and uninhabited Northeast Plains, Chen Xi feels that it is appropriate to use the aristocratic family to fill the hole and give the other party some benefits.
"I agreed to this matter on behalf of the family, but Zichuan, please take care of yourself and don't get yourself trapped. Although I don't know how you did it. But I hope you understand the dangers involved." Chen Shang looked at Chen Xi said, after all, the other party is also his grandson.
"Don't worry, forget about the military strategy. As for the political strategy, you can rest assured that I won't miss anything." Chen Xi nodded and said.
After going to the battlefield several times, Chen Xi finally figured out that he was really not capable of doing military affairs, but doing government affairs was really easy. But until now, no one could see how bad Chen Xi was at military affairs. After all, no matter what Say you win every time.
"Then I feel at ease. These are the name cards of the Yuzhou family." Chen Shang took out a name card with the last name written on it from his arms. "These are mostly the icing on the cake. If the chaos of Qingxu does not damage the foundation, they I will follow in the footsteps of the Chen family.”
Chen Xi reached out and took the piece of paper, glanced at it briefly, and was surprised that so many aristocratic families had the idea of seeking refuge with Liu Bei.
"After all, the aristocratic family has to plan for itself. Although the Qingxu family loves and hates Mr. Xuande, anyone with a discerning eye can see that our aristocratic families have actually grown stronger. Although we ourselves are far less clear-minded than the entire Taishan's growth rate, but we have been growing, but overall it is smaller." Chen Shang said helplessly.
This is actually the most tangled place for all the Qingxu family. If you say the family has grown, it must have grown. Those who follow the orders have actually grown a lot. But the problem is that even though it has grown, why does it feel like it is not up to its capabilities?
Later, some girls from aristocratic families learned some mathematical statistics from Cai Yan, and they finally understood that in the past, their family's growth rate was higher than the government's growth rate. Now Taishan is growing too fast. Although they are growing faster than before, Fast, but much slower than Taishan.
This is why the aristocratic family likes to send students to Cai Yan. He is indeed very talented. If there is only one person left in the Cai family, the aristocratic family will not mind sacrificing their children to marry Cai Yan. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person can help the family. That would be great if you have bad karma, and besides, you may not be defeated to death.
From this point of view, the Wei family in Hedong is actually quite tangled now. His family really wants to pick up Cai Yan, but the Wei family didn't go to pick him up after Cai Yan left Chang'an. If he picks him up now, the Wei family doesn't have the face. This matter was settled, and the whole Wei family and Cai Yan didn't even have much love anymore.
In short, no matter how dissatisfied the Qingxu family is, in the eyes of other prefecture and county families, this group of aristocratic families who chose a good target a few years ago are now making rapid progress, which cannot help but make other prefecture and county aristocratic families feel happy. .
Isn’t the purpose of aristocratic families’ existence to grow? The group of pioneers who used to explore the path have now become much stronger. Although they talk in different languages, they may feel unhappy with Liu Bei from time to time, and sometimes they will scold Lu Su and others for implementing policies, but who cares about other states and counties? , they just look at the results.
It's hard to say that in the eyes of the people from other states and counties, the bastards from the Qingxu family were scolding and complaining in order not to let them come in to share the cake, especially since the family could not clearly explain who Liu Bei's side was. How to restrict them? It would be strange if the families of other prefectures and counties saw the Qingxu family growing and not doubting it.
As for the rebellion in Qingxu's native family, if they really want to overthrow Liu Bei, they probably have never thought about it themselves. What they need is Liu Bei's support, not to fight against Liu Bei.
This group of aristocratic families expressed their demands more in this way. If they also failed, there would be nothing to say. They obeyed the command obediently. Liu Bei did not say that he really wanted to dig a hole and bury all the aristocratic families.
To be precise, the Qingxu family should be divided into two types and three types. One type is against Chen Xi from the beginning. In order to lay a foundation in the initial stage, Chen Xi is naturally not merciless at all and defeats them all. The other type is those who have good intentions. Although he was dissatisfied, he still chose Liu Bei and continued to grow, gradually recognizing Liu Bei's rule.
The first type of aristocratic family was in a situation, which was completely messed up by Chen Xi. Now seeing other aristocratic families getting stronger and stronger, they are extremely resentful towards Liu Bei, and those who really want to overthrow and control Liu Bei are Xu You's chess pieces.
The second category is divided into two types. One is that I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. That is to say, no matter how good my life is now, I am dissatisfied if I cannot get great power, and other things will naturally arise from dissatisfaction. .
There is also a pragmatic group whose goal is to grow the family. Since the goal is achieved when it grows, there is no need to risk death.
Not to mention the first type, the second type is a common problem in aristocratic families. All aristocratic families have these two types of people, it’s just a matter of the number, so this problem will break out sooner or later.
However, due to Xu You's calculations, the Qingxu family also needs to vent its internal problems in order to maintain stability, but before venting, they plan to make it clear once.
If Chen Xi's answer satisfies them, they are willing to be chess pieces once, and then take this opportunity to successfully integrate into Liu Bei's rule in another capacity.
If Chen Xi's answer doesn't satisfy them, well, then even if they are used as pawns, the family will not obey orders obediently, let alone hand over something beneficial to Liu Bei to Chen Xi.
Rats have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways. For things like this that concern aristocratic families, the focus of intelligence is not on this aspect, and it is impossible for Jia Xu to know everything about it. (To be continued.)
