In the evening, the meal time was up, but the meeting was still in progress. The "quarterly meeting" hosted by Queen Yuchi Chifan showed no signs of ending. The concubines in the harem brought a large number of books and information to the meeting, took turns to speak, and listened to the queen's guidance. They probably had to hold more than half an hour.

There are many industries in the palace, and each industry is not small in scale. As the queen of her husband, of course, she takes charge of all industries under the royal family, but because she is too busy, according to the rules, each industry is managed by other women.

As queens and concubines, the female family members certainly don’t need to visit the front line. All they have to do is manage the accounts, check the personnel appointment and removal, and then hold meetings every quarter to coordinate related matters.

At the end of the year, we have to assist the queen in preparing the "financial report" so that Yuchi Chifan can report to Yuwen Wen.

This is the different system of the Great Zhou harem. Yuwen Wenmei called it "institutional management and enterprise management". He didn't want his women to be too idle, because once a woman is idle, she will use all her thoughts to intrigue.

At this moment, the bored Yuwen Wen was sitting next door, listening to Yuchi Mingyue's speech, and only felt that his sister-in-law's words and behavior gradually had the shadow of a strong woman's decisive behavior.

As the lord of the harem, Yuchi Chifan's most reliable left arm and right arm is of course his sister Yuchi Mingyue. The two sisters are strictly guarding and working together. One is a red face and the other is a white face, holding the financial power tightly in their hands.

Yuchi Mingyue was in charge of part of the industry and was responsible for checking the accounts. Because she had her sister's support, she found the accounts with great momentum.

However, her "opponents" are not easy to match. Although the industries they manage are complicated, the content of the books are basically inconsistent every quarter. It is not that they make fake accounts, but that the books submitted are all calculated after multiple times, and there will definitely be no handle being caught.

Even Chen Wu, the "backward" who has been guided by someone, was well-organized and could not find any problems.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen remembers that every quarterly meeting ended with the result of "This is a victorious conference, a united conference", and the scene was very harmonious.

But is his harem really harmonious?

no,

Although there will be no extreme situations such as mutual poisoning or abortion pills, the concubines will definitely not "feel sympathetic to sisters".

Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen's eyes were empty, and he suddenly felt sad in his heart as he looked at the sunlight shining through the window on the floor.

He would not let Yuchi Chifan down, so he would never change the queen, nor would he ignore other beauties. So when he was alive, there would be no problem with the harem, but when he passed away, the big family would probably be divided.

It’s not that he died and Yuchi Chifan was still alive, and Yuchi Chifan would torture and kill other concubines (except Yuchi Mingyue). It was because Yuchi Chifan would inevitably gather wealth, take back the property and hand it over to his son, and then pass it to his grandson.

At that time, although his survivors would live in the palace as "demonics" and would have no worries about food and clothing, except for major occasions, they would probably not have much contact on weekdays and live their own lives.

This is a very normal thing. Yuwen Wen doesn't want to blame anyone. After all, there is a banquet that ends in the world, but the layout that should be made in advance must be done.

That is the division of the family.

There are seven partners in his life. Except for Zhang Lihua, everyone gave birth to sons for him, including Chen Wu. Therefore, the industry that everyone is in charge of is actually handed over to his partner first, so that he can hand it over to his sons (daughters) in the future.

So why are all beauties so attentive? Because everyone knows that this is the property that Yuwen Wen wants to share with their children.

Then, Yuwen Wen also made arrangements to prepare additional shares of Nanbeiyang Trading Company for each partner (only for dividends) to ensure that they can earn considerable income every year.

And once they have this share, they don’t need to live a life by looking at the faces of their children or daughter-in-law in the future.

Yuwen Wen is in his prime and in good health. He feels that living for another thirty or forty years is fine, but it does not prevent him from making arrangements in advance and making plans for his partner. Even Zhang Lihua, who failed to give birth to a son, is no exception.

Zhang Lihua is in charge of the coal industry, which is equivalent to the "sunrise industry" of the money tree. It is precisely because she has no son that Yuchi Chifan has no idea.

In order to maintain the harmony of the big family, Yuwen Wen has done his best to strive to take care of all aspects. The industry he has worked hard to create is of course managed by Yuchi Chi and will be passed on to the prince in the future. Now, not only have the arrangements for his partners in advance, but also have to arrange his son.

It is a good thing for sons to be a good person, but as a father, you must provide necessary support.

Yuwen Wen had no idea of ​​being a noble and a poor man, but considering the prince's feelings and in order to get along with his brothers safely in the future, even if he wanted to reuse other sons, he had to take a good sense of responsibility.

This involves a question of power balance: How should the royal family use it?

Zhou State experienced several political turmoils, all of which were related to the royal family: King Yuwen Hu of Jin deposed the two emperors (cousin), Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong rebelled against his cousin, Emperor Wu's brother Wang Yuwen Zhi rebelled, Emperor Tianyuan Yuwen Yun killed the emperor's uncle, King Yuwen Xian of Qi, and expelled five emperor's uncles, but the country was almost destroyed.

These shocking political events made the problems of the royal family in Zhou State particularly prominent.

The consequence of using the royal family is that King Yuwen Hu of Jin was the result of King Yuwen Hu of Jin; excluding the royal family means that relatives seized power and almost destroyed the clan; the royal family with outstanding abilities cannot die easily, and the killing of King Yuwen Xian of Qi is the best precedent.

With so many bloody facts, the emperor and the royal family were suspicious of each other and no longer had political trust.

There is no longer trust between the royal family and the emperor, and there is a serious psychological barrier. This is the fatal political injury of Zhou State, which is a "fake brought out of the womb". Although it seems to have been cured now, it may develop the disease at any time.

This caused the entire country to collapse and the country to change hands.

Now the Zhou Kingdom is developing rapidly, and its national strength is booming. The situation seems to be very good. However, Yuwen Wen knows that if this fatal problem cannot be solved well, when he dies, the suspicion between his brothers will become deeper and the tragedy of tragedy of fratricide will occur.

If your brothers and feet are killed, they will also implicate their sisters and even their biological mothers. At that time, they will be killed in blood. The losers will be regarded as traitors and will be wiped out together with their families.

Yuwen Wen could not imagine the tragic situation of his survivors being implicated by his son and being dragged out with his hair and beaten to death by sticks.

Therefore, Zhou Guo’s “failure to be brought out from the womb” must be found.

Of course, Yuwen Wen would not reuse his nephew and younger brother, because doing this is good for everyone. What he has to worry about is how to arrange his sons well.

The old man is burping, how to separate the property so as not to hurt the harmony. It is best to arrange it before the old man’s lifetime so as not to leave any major hidden dangers.

So Yu Wen Wen, who was still early to become an "old man", began to worry about this.

At this moment, as he thought about it, he thought of a routine, a routine that he liked, that is, the royal family enfeoffed overseas.

He conferred his sons and nephews overseas such as Aozhou and Luzhou to become vassal kings, or simply "discover" America and conferred his sons to America, just like the emperor of Ji and Zhou enfeoffed him to the princes.
