"I'm not one of those guys who have no eyesight." Xun Shuang looked at the craftsmen below who were holding the dark red steel plates away with pliers, and shook his head repeatedly.
"Considering the situation of your family, I never think that your family has a brain problem. I only think that there is another conflict within your family." Chen Ji said calmly.
Because the two families are close to each other, the Chen family is very clear about the situation of the Xun family. It is impossible for the other party to have a brain problem. After all, the possessors of spiritual talents are not only good-looking, but also have first-class abilities. .
It's just that the Xun family has a big problem in terms of unity. If the Wenxi and Pei family are configured with five people who have no overlap with each other and form a suitable framework, then the situation of the Xun family is that if I don't cover you For one thing, my surname is not Xun!
Being able to express a voice of agreement to the outside world is not only because Xun Yu is strong enough, but also a large part of the reason is that everyone has spiritual talents and needs to exercise restraint.
"Our family has decided to separate." Xun Shuang sighed and said, "I thought about it, it doesn't matter if we separate, my mind is too clear, and I know what's in my heart. If we separate, we can still be stable."
"Who are you with?" Chen Jiyi asked with raised eyebrows.
If we say that large aristocratic families in this era are basically not divided into families. At most, they have one big house, two houses, or XX houses. The whole family is entrenched together, forming a terrible force. Then the Chen family is very calm about this. If you divide it, you will not have a good time. It's time to divide. Anyway, our ancestors have been here like this and are used to it. Anyway, our Chen family won't take the initiative to stop it.
However, Chen Ji also knows that his family's situation is unusual among major aristocratic families. But if he really wants to speak with his conscience? Chen Ji still recommends splitting up the family? We all have different aspirations and different ways? Chatting is all about interests. Relationship? There is no need to waste so much blood relationship.
When a family sits together and can't even talk about feelings, the question is: What's the situation of this family? What's the situation of that family? What's the situation of our family? I'm no longer myself? How can we distinguish between public and private matters so clearly? Better to separate.
Given the current situation of the Xun family, is it really possible to gather the whole family together? After three glasses of wine? It’s time to talk about the development of the several families. Is this still a family?
"Go to the weakest one." Xun Shuang sighed and said.
"Oh." Chen Ji wanted to cheer up Xun Shuang, who was standing on the balcony looking ahead. The weakest? If I remember correctly, Xunqi was about to set up a small court in Peshawar. After Kushan split the court? Although there was no major turmoil in the political situation, there was an undercurrent.
Those who stay in Peshawar? It is only a matter of time before they become Xunqi's supporters. What else can be said about this situation? The Xun family is obviously laying a solid foundation for itself.
"What direction do you think our road will take next?" Xun Shuang suddenly said.
"To the west, there is another continent? We all know it well? Don't believe you haven't sent someone there? Although the Sima family's behavior is a bit outrageous, Yuan Yi and we have known each other for fifty years, so everyone knows it." Chen Ji shook his head. said.
At present, there are actually only a few families who are actually adding sand to Africa, and the only ones who really invest their power are the Mi family, the Wu family and the Wang family. Needless to say, Mi Zhu is not using his own power to invest it. It has no meaning, it can only be said to be a bridgehead.
On the contrary, the situation of the Wu family and the Wang family is a bit complicated. The Wu family relied on the Sima family to defeat the official team, so the Sima family knew very well what the Wu family was doing. However, the Sima family could not free up their hands at present and could not do other things. Just lie there and wait for others to milk you.
After all, Sima Zhang was too cruel before. Although he stabbed the Brahmin to death, he also cleared his name and landed in Kushan, successfully achieving the level of Jane in the emperor's heart. However, because he was too cruel, Sima Zhang can only do it lying down recently. It's impossible to make any big moves, such as ordering official posts or something.
Therefore, both the Xun family and the Chen family knew the situation, and also knew that there was a continent even more exaggerated than the Central Plains if they ran west. Although they had seen it on the map before, what they saw on the map was different from the information they collected bit by bit. , to spell out a complete profile, that's two different things.
As for the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Wang family had already lost their patience before eating the sacrificial meat sent by the Yuan family in the first year. Then they threw out all the guys who were beeping and wanted to travel thousands of miles, and sent them to Rome and Africa. .
At present, the most outstanding member of the Wang family who went to Africa is Wang Lang. Of course, he is still called Wang Yan. Wang Yan, who is currently in his forties, is in the prime of life and his ability to talk is at its peak. Although he is easily ignored by the African Killed by a lion, he relied on his astonishing ability to talk and his ability to run an army, and he managed to gain a chief position in West Africa.
As for why this guy traveled across Africa, from East Africa to West Africa, we can only say that this is fate. Currently in West Africa, Wang Lang is building Wu Fort. The Wang family supports Wang Lang with twenty members of his family. The rest depends on Wang Lang's ability. It cannot develop.
To be honest, if the Wang family hadn't had a huge feud with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they would really have tried to learn how to start with a walking stick and a legion at the back. But there was no way, this rare skill was more troublesome. Currently, Wang Lang has already More than a thousand Africans have been recruited, and each one of them has internal energy. According to Wang Lang's estimation, in this poor place, it is impossible to survive without internal energy.
In short, the Wang family's emirate in West Africa is currently working hard to operate. Of course, Wang Ling has no doubt when it will disappear. After all, according to the information sent back by Wang Lang, that place is not far from hell, but it is not far from hell.
Think about it, in order to get water from the nearby river, he actually had to fight with the animals drinking water there. Moreover, in such a river, Wang Lang could occasionally observe beasts running to drink water. This pressure to survive is really outrageous.
So Wang Lang relied on his well-drilling skills to recruit a group of Africans as his subordinates. By the way, due to the lack of water, Wang Lang found that his experience value in finding water veins, which he had not learned well back then, was increasing crazily.
In short, after supporting twenty members of the family, the Wang family is now assuming that this is no longer the case. There is no other way. The situation over there can only be protected by the regular army so that they can live a stable life. As for seeking development through farming in the local area, That would require more regular troops.
Only by defeating these animals can we have land for farming. Who knows why there are so many animals, so many more than the locals.
"So did your family finally decide to go there?" Xun Shuang stretched out his hand to support the deputy on the balcony and said, "I remember you chose Guishui or something?"
"Guishui is in the heart, not in the world." Chen Ji shook his head and said.
In fact, although Guishui is good, it is surrounded by troubles and it is not easy to develop. Instead of doing this, it is better to develop in Guishang and then go to Africa. After Yuanfeng's reign, God knows what the central government will do. I won't give you such strong support.
"Oh." Xun Shuang began to look at each other the way Chen Ji looked at him at that time. Both sides looked at each other the same way, then they looked at each other and laughed.
"It seems we have the same thoughts." Chen Ji nodded to Xun Shuang.
"Let's get together then." Xun Shuang said with a smile.
"It's great. I didn't expect that I would live to this era and continue to live." Chen Ji said softly, "But it's a pity for those old friends. If they could live to this day, they would be even more emotional."
Although all the ministers in the court in the previous generation had their own ideas, Chen Xi's overall situation was indeed compatible with everyone's fantasies, and then pointed out a path that could benefit everyone, and it was a huge benefit.
"Chen Zichuan's only shortcoming is probably that he doesn't like to talk about virtue, but likes to talk about interests." Xun Shuang said quietly.
"Because everyone is very realistic. Virtue should be discussed with others. Only when you have eaten enough, drunk enough, and have a surplus can you talk about virtue. It is in vain that you are still the orthodox Confucian school." Chen Ji laughed and scolded, "Confucius's morality is not It is the morality of a saint, but it is a morality that can be practiced. That is why there is anger, straightforwardness, resentment, and then there is virtue! Therefore, there is no two wrongs, not no wrongs."
"Expelled, expelled. Some time ago, I went to Kong Taichang to argue, and they expelled our family again. They said we were not good enough to fight, and asked us to learn more from Han Fei." Xun Shuang waved his hand and said, indicating that we are not good enough. Give us some Confucian moral education, and we have been kicked out of the Confucian order.
"Isn't Legalism more realistic?" Chen Jiyi raised an eyebrow and said.
"Yes, Legalism is more realistic, but Chen Zichuan is not reforming the law." Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "He is just driving the major families in a more relaxed way."
"Oh, if you give me a Yuan family from a wealthy European family, I am willing to be driven by you." Chen Ji grinned and said, "Everyone has something to ask for. Face is very important, but if the benefits are enough, In large cases..."
"I'm shameless, I'm a barbarian." An old man passing by smiled and replied, "How about you give me the Yan family as a gift from the Chu Kingdom."
"Let's go, stay away from this guy." Xun Shuang couldn't help but darken his face after seeing Yan Fo Tiao, "Didn't you say you are a monk?"
"Am I still a barbarian?" Yan Fotiao said with a sneer.
This is not nonsense. Yan Fodiao is an orthodox descendant of the Chu Kingdom. I don't know if his ancestor is the King of Chu, but he is indeed a descendant of the Chu Kingdom, so there is nothing wrong with this guy saying this.
What's more important is that this man is the first Buddhist in the Central Plains, the first to become a monk, and the first to write scriptures. A scum like Zuo Rong is not worthy of playing with such an uncle.
Naturally, this person is like a duck to water in Kushan. Sima Zhang was able to explain the scriptures so fluently because of this person. Now that Sima Zhang is dead, this person has become the main force of the Samana in the south. I don’t know where Sima Jun is. Found somewhere.
