The shopkeeper responded, and went to business, greeting guests, leaving only Zhong Yuan to stay alone, Zhong Yuan was careless at this time, as if he was waiting for something.

At this time, a person suddenly came in, staggered, as if he was sick, because he avoided people, but he accidentally bumped into Zhong Yuan, and apologized again and again, but Zhong Yuan waved his hand and let the person go, and then Zhong Yuan looked around, as if he lowered his head to think about things, and his face changed, and after waiting for a while, Zhong Yuan came out, as if the three souls were lost and incomplete, and he was blown by the wind with rain, and his consciousness was sober.

The coachman came up and helped him into the car, and said with a smile: "Master, this wind is strong and it is raining, you get in the car quickly!" ”

Zhong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that he couldn't show his color in the eyes of outsiders, sighed abruptly, got in the car and sat down, as usual, and said: "Go home, go back to the uncle's house!" ”

But he wanted to go to his father Zhong Yu, Zhong Hui was specially cheating his brother, and he passed his nephews one by one, and he had to fight Zhong Yu's idea.

The coachman shouted, the carriage moved, and on a rainy day, there were still many pedestrians on the street, all holding umbrellas.

I just listened to the raindrops hitting the glass, sometimes tight and sometimes slow.

Zhong Yuan originally felt very proud, this glass is also a business of the Zhong family, which was "invented" by him, but this is the basic operation of the traverser, but the black powder that he has always wanted cannot be "invented".

Zhong Yuan "invented" a lot of gadgets, so most of Zhong's current business is already in his hands; Although this glass is still a rare commodity, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, but the Zhong family can afford to use it; But at this time, Zhong Yuan looked at it as if he didn't know it, and suddenly felt that it was too conspicuous.

Suddenly, the sentence just now floated in my ears again-"Someone proposed to do it to the Zhong family first." ”

This was like thunder, and it suddenly made Zhong Yuan's whole body tremble.

The two governors of the Zhong family, their in-laws are all over the government and the opposition, who dares to move in this Wei country?

Unless Zhong Hui does something rebellious, then no one can save it, and now he hasn't returned.

In fact, although Zhong's Zhonghui does not listen to the announcement, Zhong Yu is in the middle of the court, of course, this is because Zhong Yu's body is not good, and now he is hanging on to his life with those precious medicinal materials, and Zhong has no intention of rebelling now, I thought that Sima would not do it, but now it is coming!

The more Zhong Yuan thought about it, the bigger his head became, and in the meantime, he really understood that businessmen who had no power and no soldiers, even if they were businessmen with ancestral families, and even had systematic help, were still extremely fragile in this world.

Just thinking about it, the carriage stopped, and in the drizzle, Zhong Yuan came down, and saw that a housekeeper immediately greeted him: "Master." ”

"Hmm, is the eldest brother here?" Zhong Yuan was in a trance at this time, his eyes swept over, and he said.

"Here, I'll lead the master in!" The butler said with a smile, and went inside.

Zhong Yuan nodded and didn't say anything.

When I arrived in the living room, I heard my eldest brother Zhong Jun talking to a shopkeeper below: "How is the recipe of the dyeing workshop?" ”

"Uncle, the new recipe of the dyeing workshop, the color of the dyeing is good, the price is cheap, our silk cloth is dyed, and the family is contacted, half of it is sold in the country, and half can be transported to those Donghu people, but uncle, the workshop we open, there are many workers, crowded together, a plague is terrible, is it to open some more?

In the past, some homes also had dyeing workshops, but now they are all broken, whether we go to buy them, presumably with a little money. ”

These words, Zhong Yuan liked these words very much before, but when he heard them, he was full of annoyance, and he couldn't slap the chattering guy.

Zhong Jun glanced at him and knew that he had something, so he immediately said: "Okay, you can do these things yourself, I have something to say to the master!" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came to his senses, hurriedly responded, retreated, and when there was no one, Zhong Jun said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Big brother, a catastrophe is coming for our family."

This sentence made Zhong Jun change color, but he worked very hard to cultivate his qi, and as soon as he thought about it, he said: "Sima family? ”

"Yes, the people from the Sima family that I secretly befriended spent a hundred gold, and when I met it today, I said this sentence and passed by - someone proposed to do it to our family."

Zhong Jun stood up violently, pondered, and suddenly shuddered: "It's not good, we were careless." ”

A gust of wind outside sprinkled down with rain, brushed for a while, and gradually eased down.

Zhong Jun said this, sat down slowly, took out a small bottle from his arms, frowned and drank a sip of medicinal wine, and fixed his mind, at this time, under the thick black eyebrows, his eyes were deep and shiny, just thinking bitterly.

After a long time, Zhong Juncai said: "We are careless, originally I thought, my family is divided into two, although my father supervises the place, but it is actually in Beijing, it is the foundation, it is important, but my family is also big, and more connections are all over the world, not to mention my uncle, that is, the Sima family dared to risk the disapproval of the world and copied my family, even if it was only broken branches and leaves, it could not break the roots, but it was a mortal enmity with my family and all families, which may not be cost-effective." ”

"Now that I think about it, although the Sima family doesn't dare, but there are careerists who look down on my family, the person who proposed this proposal has bad intentions, but this move is to ask us to make a knife, one is to raid the family to obtain military funds, and the other is to stimulate the uncle."

"Big brother, my uncle doesn't listen to the announcement now, it's normal to be suspicious, and it's understandable to steal the house to get military funds, what does this mean by stimulating uncle?"

"Although my uncle has gathered tens of thousands of troops in Guanzhong, although he is also practicing, he has collected some materials at most, and it is difficult to improve, and now my uncle is raising 30,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in Guanzhong, which has reached the limit, and the country can no longer afford to raise more soldiers if it is not supported, that is, my family's business is so much better now, I can raise more than 10,000."

"The one from the Han Kingdom, according to the news, is also training and gathering troops, and I heard that there has been another bumper harvest, and a lot of grain has been gathered; What is this intention, the master must also be clear. ”

Zhong Yu nodded, naturally he knew, the Han thief did not stand together, this thief was the Cao clan of the Wei State, if the Sima clan usurped the throne, it would be the Sima clan of the Jin State.

Zhong Jun continued:

"The Sima family is also raising supplies now, preparing to fight and face the battle."

"If you say that this collection of materials is also limited, the plate in the world is so big, how much money has been set, and how much can be made up temporarily?"

"Now there is still a problem, that is, there is an uncle in the pass, this pass is blocked in the middle, and now it has become a stumbling block, if it is an ordinary stumbling block, hehe, uncle is now this stone is very hard, if anyone kicks it, he will break his toes."

"It's just that seeing that the general trend of the Han Kingdom has been decided, the strategy of Liangzhou and Liangzhou has been launched, and my uncle has been semi-surrounded, but it is difficult to break through, so there is no hope for my family's hegemony, alas, if you go on desperately, you may only die in battle or take refuge in one side."

"Although anyone with a discerning eye can see it, and my uncle also knows it in his heart, but my family is also a member of Zhong Ming Ding Shi and a generation of hairpins, and my uncle is also a famous general, it is not easy to want my family to surrender like this, it depends on whether the sincerity given by the Han lord is enough?"

"It's not easy for the Sima family to raise soldiers to gnaw down this stone of my family, and even if it is gnawed, how can it be done without a year and a half, which gives Yan Han that time, besides, the Sima family raises troops against my family, and it may force my family to take refuge in the enemy, how can I act rashly?"

"It's just that Yan Han is different, he won so many times last year, and he won the favor of heaven, and the grain is abundant, but it is the desire of the people, and now he is working hard to strengthen the army and train the generals, every day he wins, he is one point stronger, who doesn't know this situation?"

"After all, our family is the first-class family in the world, if we go out of the wind, behead our family, stimulate my uncle, and make my uncle raise troops to save or take revenge, under the influence of this, it will definitely interrupt the development of Yan Han, make its foundation unstable, and will definitely attack Guanzhong, one is that the two defeats with my uncle are injured, and the other is that if my uncle is helpless, he can only work for the Sima family - it is a good plan, so I want to copy my house, hey, I didn't expect it!"

When Zhong Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale, the eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother, he saw it through, and asked: "Then if my family votes for Yanhan, will the son of heaven of the Han family come to save us?" ”

Zhong Jun listened, sighed, and said: "Yan Han, the new emperor, although he is just a woman, don't look at the people's evaluation of generosity, if it is for our family, but it is regardless of the time of day, immediately raise troops, this is absolutely impossible, you see that after she became in power, step by step, what she did is really remarkable, I don't believe that this woman has an ordinary woman-like temperament, otherwise how can she always strike first at a critical time?" ”

"The matter of the Li family of the Qiang people is not a secret now, look at what this woman is doing, how vicious and vicious it is!"

"Think about it, it's like playing a game of chess, calculating step by step, first moving the Li family out of most of the Qiang tribe, to Shangyong, and then letting Deng Ai consume the strength of the Li family, and then raising troops to watch, waiting for the opportunity, and actually won the three counties in one fell swoop, at that time, the Li family was already not in trouble, but this woman still forced the Li family to continue to serve, on the bank of the Han River, that Li Mu died in battle, and the secret strength was consumed, and then split the Li family's sons, forcing the heir of the Li family to kill his brother in order to protect himself."

"This is not ruthless, but the three sons of the Li family are still there, and they have all been richly rewarded, one is the Marquis of Guannei, one is a partial general, and the other is the head of a county, which is magnanimous on the surface, but the Marquis of Guannei is only a low-grade civil official, and the general is fighting in the Western Regions, and the head of a county is a plateau and a different place; You see that this step by step is so cold, but no one feels sinister and mean, but thinks that this woman is wise and martial, and this scheming city is really in danger of mountains and rivers! You say that these people will raise troops in advance for the sake of us, and cause a big thing? Besides, how can you save my house? ”

"But my family's capable talents, if they are effective, the Han family will really be stable in the world!" Zhong Yu said unwillingly.

Zhong Jun glanced at his younger brother and snorted coldly: "It's because of this that I can't ask for help casually, at that time, it was my family who begged, but then it was at my disposal, just like the Li family, if it wasn't for the battle in Xixian, then Jia Chong would be defeated, and the Han Kingdom would have been excited, and the Li family would be a million Qiang people, just sit back and watch in the mountains, why bother working for her!"

It's nothing more than a change in people's hearts, a Han is a Wuhu, the Han State has 100,000 soldiers, and the millions of Qiang people can only bow down! ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Jun sneered and said, "I really didn't think about the affairs of the Sima family, but it is absolutely impossible for these people to run my family like this. ”

"First of all, uncle's side, immediately send a secret message to him to prepare."

"Secondly, all the goods and gold and silver in the capital should not be moved, once they do, they will be smelled by those people, and everything will be run normally, and even collect a large sum of money to come back and release the wind to calm the hearts of those people."

"The outstanding children in the family want to be released and contacted secretly, and you also go out, in the name of collecting money."

"Big brother, what about you?"

"I can't go, I can't move, if I move, it's a big deal, and my father has to guard it now, hum, our family has never taken precautions, even the money will not be put in the open, this Beijing, the valuable ones are some goods and shops, if you want to copy, just copy it, as long as you and your uncle are outside, see who dares to kill me? Don't want to leave a little back for the future? ”

"The initiator, there is no aftermath?"

"Hmph, let their Sima family copy our home first, and my family will copy their home in the future, my family has been in business for generations, intertwined, where is no one? Don't go to your uncle after you go out, just look for an opportunity to join the Han Kingdom, give people money, food and fine work, let every move of the Sima family be under the eyeliner, if necessary, you can pull people to rebel, after ten years, I think his Sima family will not die! Speaking of this, Zhong Junmeng's punch landed on the table, and his eyes showed awe-inspiring killing intent.

A big family like the Zhong family, which has lasted for hundreds of years, can only be uprooted unless the emperor who unifies the world, otherwise, it will be a big disaster, and Zhong Jun is indeed angry this time.

This is the scholar family, the business operation is only incidental, the real heritage is the intertwined relationship, it is the descendants of the family with the soldiers, and it is the knowledge of the mind.

Today's scholars started with farming in their ancestors...... Rich, heirs and heirs; After tasting the handsome body and his son Lisui, he became an official, and only then did he start running a business, and his family became rich.

Then under the cycle, they became scholars.

Therefore, the scholars are basically very rich.

With such a huge wealth, the emperors don't want to kill and seize the property?

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare and can't, because such a huge rich industry is all over the place, if you only copy the branches and leaves, but escape the roots, then this kind of huge rich people can invest in the enemy's tens of millions, worth 100,000 troops, who dares to do this?

Only after the unification of the world, such businessmen have no way out, can they be uprooted, and now the Zhong family's roots are deeper, and the Sima family has not unified the world, so they have this thought, in Zhong Jun's view, it is Sima Zhao who is old and mediocre, perverse, and wants to kill himself!

Seeing that the eldest brother was so determined, Zhong Yuan suddenly had a firm heart, and responded: "No, I'll go and do it for my brother, and see how this Sima family dies!" ”

The Sima family, a family that can usurp the throne of a country at any time, seems to be a dead end at this time.

However, after saying cruel words, Zhong Yuan said: "Big brother, then I will go down, this matter of mobilizing industry and contacts still needs to be considered and arranged as a whole." ”

"You just go and do it, hmph, my head is not easy to take, take it, the nine clans of the Sima family will be buried together!"
