"It's almost done, it's time to go take a look." Guo Jia saw that Chen Xi looked a little downcast and felt speechless. He and Zhen Mi were clearly on good terms before, but they insisted on breaking it off, and now they are absent-minded all day long.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Xi calmed down and asked Guo Jia. His mind has not been on work recently.
"What are you talking about?" Guo Jia glanced at Chen Xi, picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine and said, "Gongsun Shengji's envoy has been waiting for several days."
"Oh, give me a copy of the information. I'll have a rough look at it, and then I'll go see it. I'll also have someone inform the heads of the aristocratic families that I will hold a year-end meeting in ten days. Remember to notify me when Xingba comes back." Chen Xi's expression softened. After a while, he looked at Guo Jia and said, he has a lot of things to do.
Without looking, Guo Jia took out some prepared information from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Xi, "Gongsun Shengji sent a team of envoys, but the main ones were his son and Liang Bofang."
Chen Xi briefly browsed the information, and he had a good idea. However, he was a little shocked that the intelligence organization could even get Gongsun Gong's hidden illness. Jia Xu was really unscrupulous.
"As for the meeting to be held at the end of the year, the heads of the aristocratic families are probably impatient to wait." Guo Jia thought of more and more aristocratic families in Yecheng and said with a smile. Today is different from the past. The clear tilt of the world's hegemons has already made Those wealthy and aristocratic families can no longer continue to bet randomly.
"Is there any family I want that has appeared?" Chen Xi asked directly without raising his head. In the past few years, several aristocratic families had not appeared.
"They're all here, the Yang family, the Yuan family, the Taiyuan Wang family, these families that can't appear normally are all represented." Guo Jia said with a sigh, "The Xiahou family and the Sun family have also come to participate, but you also understand the essence. .”
"It seems that the world's aristocratic family is about to come together. After taking the first step towards the world, I can finally prepare for the second step." The disappointment on Chen Xi's face slowly dissipated. Said with a touch of emotion.
"Zichuan, can you explain to me, what exactly do you want to do? You have only taken the first step now. What exactly do you want to do?" Guo Jia clicked his tongue. The first step in Chen Xi's words has laid the foundation for the unification of the world. This is what to do.
"I just want to see how vast this world is, and to achieve this goal, it's not enough to be close to us. There are some things that are more suitable for a family to do than for us to do." Chen Xi slowly explained the reason.
Although Guo Jia couldn't understand Chen Xi's goal. But Chen Xi's slow speaking speed made him feel a tremor. He didn't know why Guo Jia was so touched when he heard Chen Xi's words.
"Where is the corner of the world described in the absurd Book of Mountains and Seas? Don't you want to go and see it?" Chen Xi turned to look at Guo Jia and said, "And all the aristocratic families gathered together to prepare for that time."
Chen Xi needs the aristocratic families to go out of the Central Plains, not just one or two, but more than half of the aristocratic families need to go out. And now this plan has a preliminary foundation for execution, and it is time for Chen Xi to get vaccinated in advance.
"I'm going to meet the Liaodong Gongsun family. You can inform those aristocratic families. Judging from your recent situation, you probably have no money again." Chen Xi glanced at Guo Jia. "You should be more restrained and get married as soon as possible. At least you can still have some savings on hand and you will be a grown man."
"Forget it, I want to hang out for a few more years, but I really can't marry Wen He's daughter. Look, how suitable it is." Guo Jia said with a playful smile.
It is said that Liu Bei's officials only have two ways to deal with the salary they receive. One is like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who basically spends nothing, or they give it to their wives. If there is no bank, you don't even know how much money you have; as for the other type, represented by Guo Jia, you will run out of money sooner or later.
Even Guo Jia didn't know where his money was spent, but fortunately Chen Xi noticed people like Hua Xiong. People like Zhang Fei and Guo Jia couldn't keep any money at all, so for the sake of future consideration, they would only pay part of their salary when they were paid, and invest the other part in industry, which could be regarded as saving some money for their wives.
Of course, people like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun can control money. Chen Xi will also suggest that he be given less of his salary and let him invest. As for other Taishan officials who are willing to invest, Chen Xi will also take over. If Chen Xi is not willing, Chen Xi will not say anything.
For Chen Xi, a mosquito's legs, no matter how small, are still considered meat. With such a generous salary, he can build one or two more infrastructures every month. It is also important to add up to a small amount.
"It would be strange if Wen He could marry his daughter to you." Chen Xi said speechlessly. Although Jia Xu had been wanting to marry her daughter off in a low-key manner recently, marrying Guo Jia would not be considered a low-key marriage.
"Wen He is a little forced. It's great to marry Yuan Zhi, but it's really boring to have to find an ordinary person." Guo Jia curled his lips and said, he really couldn't stand Jia Xu's cautiousness, "But I still appreciate it. , I will remember to go to various aristocratic families to inform them."
Speaking of which, Guo Jia's visit would definitely lead to a return visit. Guo Jia could leave empty-handed, but it would be strange for major aristocratic families to return empty-handed. Once he came in and out, Guo Jia was able to squander half a year.
"I suggest you hurry up and marry a well-matched wife, or buy some business." Chen Xi suggested calmly.
"Let me think about it." Guo Jia waved his hand, obviously not very interested in Chen Xi's suggestion.
"I will remember to talk to Wen He later, and maybe I will agree." Chen Xi said casually, Jia Xu was planning to marry his daughter, but there was nothing to say about Jia Xu's plans, so it was appropriate to cause trouble for the other party.
"It's no use agreeing." Guo Jia waved his hand, signaling Chen Xi to get out and solve Gongsun Du's problem, which had been going on for quite some time.
When Chen Xi came to Yecheng Station, it was obvious that Gongsun Gong was already prepared. He showed no dissatisfaction at being left out for several days. He and Liangmao welcomed Chen Xi into the station with a smile on his face.
In other words, Chen Xi showed enough gestures. Although he waited for a few days, he finally came to the inn in person instead of ordering someone to take Gongsun Gong and others to his place.
After all, as time goes by, Liu Bei and Gongsun Du have a good relationship. They have frequent business contacts and have supported each other with grain and winter clothing. However, after Liu Bei became stronger, the other party unilaterally terminated the horse trade, and even broke off the horse trade for a time. Contacts with Liu Bei.
From this aspect, what Gongsun Du did was indeed enough for Liu Bei to personally settle the accounts. After all, Liu Bei has now completely established his position as the hegemon, and it is time to settle the accounts.
This is also an important reason why Gongsun Gong was uneasy after arriving in Yecheng. It is also an important reason why Liu Bei ignored them for several days and they did not dare to protest! (To be continued.)
