Chapter 472 Zhen Yi’s decision
Gongsun Zan did not have any famous people from aristocratic families, so he still managed the four states like an army. He was very strict in managing the people of the aristocratic families, and the people dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out under his rule.
To win the four states, the most important thing now is to manage the surrounding areas. Although Gongsun Zan is strong, he does not have the talent to govern the four states. Even the army's food and grass have to be transported from Youzhou. What Gongsun Zan can do is to scare the monkeys.
Everywhere he went, he asked his soldiers to collect food from aristocratic families. If they didn't provide food, the army would attack in large numbers, and everyone would be massacred.
Therefore, when many aristocratic families saw the arrival of Gongsun Zan's army, they obediently provided food, but the relevant local rights were still in the hands of the aristocratic families.
Wuji County, Zhongshan State, in the courtyard of Zhen Mansion.
Zhen Yi was having dinner with a large family. A few days ago, he married his third daughter to the eldest son of the governor of Anping County. His fourth daughter is now thirteen years old. His wives and concubines were discussing the choice for his fourth daughter at the dinner table.
The perfect match for marriage, Zhen Yi spoke at this time.
"I think Lin Fan from Anxi County is pretty good!"
"Lin Fan? I heard that at a young age, he was able to kill thousands of troops by himself. However, the Lin family is not a high-ranking family. Isn't it a bit unfair to let Rong'er marry into the Lin family?" Zhen Yi's wife couldn't help but frowned and said.
.
With the threshold of the Zhen family and the huge family fortune accumulated, it is not difficult for even a family like the Yuan family with four generations and three fathers to be the best in the world. It is not difficult for Zhen Yi to choose a family from a small county town, and even Zhen Yi's wives and concubines cannot understand it.
"You also know the situation in our family. The caravan has been unable to operate for more than two years. Most shops in various places have been closed. The caravan cannot go out. Business can no longer be done.
The world is in chaos. Gongsun Zan's soldiers came to Wuji County again yesterday. This time they have a bigger appetite and want 100,000 shi of food. If they go further, our house may be emptied!
Now we are looking for a general who is good at fighting, but he is much better than a member of a noble family. A few days ago, Yuan Shao sent someone to ask me to go to Yecheng to discuss matters, but I declined!" Zhen Yi said.
"Pushed, why?" Zhen Yi's concubine couldn't help but ask.
"The Yuan family must want to ask dad for money and food." At this time, Zhen Mi said at the side.
Zhen Mi is nine years old this year, but she has already become a water lotus. Her delicate little face can’t help but make people in the mansion sigh. One time Zhen Mi left the mansion and was seen by the people of Wuji County. The people said that it was a fairy who has descended to earth. From then on, Zhen Mi was nine years old.
Zhen Mi rarely leaves the house anymore.
"Mi'er is right, Yuan Shao wants to organize aristocratic families to fight against Gongsun Zan, and needs money and food to expand the strength of the army. Originally, I had planned to join the Yuan family, but recently news came from our branch in Shu County.
The Zhen family has already done a lot of business in Yizhou, with a monthly profit of more than five million. There is a large population and the family is powerful, so it is difficult to cause chaos, so I plan to lead the Zhen family to Shu County in Yizhou!" Zhen
Yi said.
"Do the officials want to take refuge with Liu Xin? But the journey from Jizhou to Yizhou is long, and we don't know what we will experience along the way. The officials should think twice!" Zhen Yi's wife couldn't help but persuade.
No one wants to leave their hometown, and for such a big family that has existed for more than a hundred years, everything needs to start over when moving to a new place. What they will face must be real struggle and pressure.
"Yuan Shao is ready to compete with Gongsun Zan for Jizhou, and the war should not be far away. By then, Jizhou will be in a mess.
If Gongsun Zan wins, our Jizhou family will definitely shed a layer of skin. If Yuan Shao wins, our Zhen family, as a big businessman in the world, will definitely have a firm control over us. By then, our Zhen family will not be able to control everything by ourselves.
Already.
As for our branch in Shu County, I had never thought that we could make a name for ourselves in Yizhou, but Liu Xin was strange. He didn't like aristocratic families taking power, but he supported the wealthy families in every possible way. Liu Xin didn't take it seriously.
By taking our branch as our own, we allowed it to gain a firm foothold in Shu County. This year, Liu Xin has almost taken over the entire Shu County.
After we arrive in Shu County, we will conduct our business well and not participate in government affairs or the disputes between their princes.
We invite Lin Fan to be our son-in-law. He can lead the five thousand elites in the family. The Zhen family is rich but has no generals. I don’t think the Lin family will refuse." Zhen Yi said.
"If dad wants to leave Jizhou, he must do it quietly. If Yuan Shao knows that we are leaving, he will probably send an army to intercept us. The fourth sister's marriage must also be carried out quietly!" Zhen Mi said at this time.
Zhen Yi couldn't help but nodded when she heard her youngest daughter's reminder. Many people were amazed by Zhen Mi's beauty. Didn't they know that her intelligence was also rare in the world? If Zhen Yi couldn't make up her mind about many things, she would tell her that she was only nine years old.
Zhen Mi asked Zhen Mi to help him analyze. He was able to make up his mind to lead the entire Zhen family to Shu County, which was partly due to Zhen Mi.
After the meal, Zhen Yi summoned the important members of the family and told everyone about his plan to lead the family to Shu County in Yizhou. In the past two years, because the caravan has not gone out, the core members of the Zhen family have been staying in the mansion, looking at the home.
They are worried as it continues to weaken day by day.
Zhen Yi had a solution to the problem, and everyone discussed it together. In the end, most of the important members of the Zhen family agreed with his decision as the head of the family, and soon the entire Zhen family quietly started to stir.
The Zhen family first sent soldiers to let the female family members of the family go first. After leaving Jizhou, they gathered together in Dong'a County, because Dong'a County was one of Liu Xin's strongholds. Although Zhang Miao was the governor of Dongjun, Cao Cao actually took power. Cao Cao never
Dong'a County has been invaded, so Dong'a County is now a large trade center. It is basically safe to go there!
After arriving in Dong'a County, the Zhen family will organize their troops and then go to Nan County together, entering Shu from Baidi City in Dongba County.
This is the plan, but the entire Wuji County belongs to the Zhen family. If they want to move, it is difficult to decide how many people to move. It will take at least three months before the action can be started. The Zhen family needs to sort out their property and move it away.
, this is not easy.
During the autumn harvest in September, Gongsun Zan did not collect much grain tax. He knew that he could not deal with the four states family, and he also knew that the family was currently discussing how to deal with him, especially Yuan Shao, who would never truly succumb to him.
Gongsun Zan wanted to kill Yuan Shao, but there were disciples of the Yuan family everywhere in the world. Even if he could find Yuan Shao, he would not dare to kill him at this time. If he killed the family, he would definitely turn against him.
.
So Gongsun Zan began to wait for Yuan Shao to raise his army. As long as the other party dared to raise his army, he would not be able to say anything if he killed him. Only then would he be able to capture the three counties of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou little by little, and let these three counties become his support instead of
