Shuzhong, Chengdu Mansion.

Outside the city of Chengdu Prefecture, there is a road thirty miles away from the city, and a group of people are resting in a clearing at this time.

Judging by their attire, this group of people should be the guys of the caravan.

It's just that, even ordinary fellows, the material of the clothes is not bad, it is fine linen, and they all look like they are either burly or with some civility, and around them, there is also a carriage and ox cart parked, and a dozen horses tied to the tree, which also look very strong.

At the side of a carriage sat a few people sitting on the ground on a dry meadow with clean blankets, and they sat on the blankets and chatted in low voices.

"Big brother, this time I went to Xiangyang to find out the situation, but be careful!", a young man with a somewhat thin face but very energetic whispered.

"I heard that Xiangyang is heavily guarded, although we have no malicious intentions, we are just going to find out the rumors, but if we are accidentally arrested as a fine work, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Third brother rest assured, this matter is the brother's own measure, although Xiangyang is heavily guarded, I have never heard of the harsh criminal law of the King of Chu, I am afraid that some rumors spread outside by people with intentions are some exaggerations. The man sitting across from the young man smiled.

This man looked like he was in his thirties, with a white face and a short beard, and he looked elegant, and there were two other people sitting next to this man, one was fifty years old, and he looked like an old man who was an old pedant, and he never spoke.

The other was a man who looked somewhat similar in appearance to the previous two, wearing a cyan robe, and was about thirty years old.

"The third brother has always been measured in his work, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and you put your heart in your stomach. If you and I want to continue to deal with those people in Chengdu Mansion, it will be troublesome. The man in the green robe shook his head and said with a headache.

Before, they stayed in Chengdu Mansion for several months, according to their thoughts, they have such a family with connections, material resources, to enter Chengdu Mansion to make a good living, may not be able to take root, but when they came here, they found that although the development of commerce and trade in Shuzhong is very prosperous, but there is already a large-scale group, want to integrate into it, without the support of the local government, how easy is it to talk about?

The problem is that due to the declining and lax laws of the Dayan court, and they are a family, they are used to doing things in private without the control of the government, otherwise it would not be possible to abandon Wei Yue so easily and easily move the family's property out of Wu.

And when he retreated, he still suffered losses in Wudi, and he was even more unwilling to easily hand over his lifeline to the government.

But with the long time in Chengdu Mansion, the prosperous economy here is really stimulating, and they are reluctant to leave.

When it comes to the policy of supporting agriculture and commerce, there is no more enlightened and suitable for their development than in the territory of the King of Chu.

At this time, they had already received news that more than a dozen families who had moved away from Wu had moved to Shuzhong one after another.

Trade pays attention to a timing, they are one of the families who came to Shuzhong first, and then rubbed it like this, so that the later ones got the first opportunity, which really made people laugh off their big teeth.

"Although our Chen family is a big clan in Wu, we don't have much foundation in Shu, and we are running around these days, which has made you suffer. The white-faced short-bearded man who was called the eldest brother by the two sighed, and said with some sighs: "If you hadn't made this decision for your brother that day, you wouldn't have been so embarrassed to follow your brother."

"What is the eldest brother talking about, Wei Yue forced the Son of Heaven to death, and he is a thief that everyone in the world can condemn! How can we do things under the rule of such people after hundreds of years of receiving the favor of the king? Don't say that the Chen family is just an ordinary family, and there are not many people who are officials, even if everyone is an important minister in the court, and they will not succumb to thieves for the sake of glory and wealth. ”

"And Wei Yue's methods are cruel, even hundreds of people of the royal family were slaughtered overnight, and he is not afraid of the eyes of the world, how can we and other families make him unhappy, how can we not lead him to retaliate madly? The eldest brother's decision that day was extremely correct, what he saw and heard in the past few months has proved that the king of Chu is wise, and the reorganization of the Chen family's foundation under his rule is what the entire Chen family is looking forward to, and the eldest brother should not blame himself. ”

"What the second brother said is very true, please go to Xiangyang this time, take care, I will also be careful in Chengdu Mansion. The two hurriedly said.

Seeing this, the eldest of the Chen brothers finally nodded.

Looking at the sky, he said, "It's not too early, it's time to rest for a while, and I'll wait for my brother to leave it alone." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and beckoned the people around him to get up and prepare to go.

When the carriage and horses are ready, the men get on the horse, the man gets on the car, the three brothers get on the car, and do the final goodbye.

"The two younger brothers don't have to worry, Xiangyang is not far from Chengdu Mansion, and they are all under the rule of the King of Chu, along the way, nothing will happen, the King of Chu is generous, even if he can't give preferential treatment, he will not be embarrassed for his brother, the two of them are waiting for the good news of being a brother in Chengdu Mansion!", Brother Chen finally waved his hand and said.

"Of course, if the eldest brother goes, he will definitely succeed immediately!", "This time I will definitely go well!", the two brothers nodded.

In the past few major families, although there are many things where brothers fight for each other, there are not a few brothers who work together to break the gold.

The prosperity of a family is directly related to the status of everyone in the family in the eyes of others.

One loss and one loss, one glory.

The three Chen brothers are all brothers of the same father and mother, the three of them have their own strengths, the relationship is good since childhood, when they grow up, their father died early, and the three of them have risen rapidly within the Chen family.

In comparison, although the family of Wu Di may be stronger than the Chen family in terms of strength, it is slightly inferior in terms of the centripetal force within the family.

"At most, in two months, the brother can return, and during this period, the family will be managed by the two younger brothers. Elder Brother Chen arched his hand to the two of them and said in a deep voice.

"Big brother, take care all the way!", "Take care all the way!", the two also walked towards the eldest brother and said.

The Chen family brother got into the carriage, and the team began to move slowly, and there were guards urging the mounts to protect the carriage of the Chen family, such a caravan team headed towards Jingzhou.

Almost when the team had not fully moved, they saw a fast horse, coming from the direction of Chengdu Mansion, a knight on the horse, looking at the costume, it was the Chen family's family.

"Master!", the knight urged the horse over, and at this time he also saw his own team in front of him, and hurried over.

"Second master, third master, where is the eldest master? There is an urgent report about other families!", "The eldest brother has not gone far yet, you should hurry up and chase the horse!", the second brother hurriedly said.

The knight urged his horse again and galloped forward.

Soon, he saw the carriage protected by the guards, and at this time, the big boss of the Chen family also heard the cries behind and ordered the team to stop.

"My lord!", the servant urged the horse to the front of the carriage, flew off the horse, and crawled to the ground.

"Master, I just got the news that the Li family, the Zhang family, the Chang family, and the Hu family have all sent people to Xiangyang, and they are all from other paths, I'm afraid they don't want the Chen family to know!", the domestic servant said quickly.

"The Liu family, the Zhang family, the Chang family, and the Hu family?" Hearing what the servant said, the Chen family was in charge, and his heart moved, and his face sank.

At this time, the two brothers of the Chen family also rushed over, and after learning about this, they all looked solemn.

"Big brother, it seems that they want to meet the King of Chu in front of the Chen family and seize the opportunity!"

But for a moment, the boss of the Chen family smiled lightly and said, "Let them go, this is a matter of competing for opportunities." ”

"Big Ghost ......"

"When you go back, you don't have to worry about it, as long as you hurry up, you won't let them rush to the front. When you go back, the Chen family must prepare well in advance. ”

"What the eldest brother said is that we will prepare in advance. After listening to the eldest brother's words, the other two brothers looked at each other and said at the same time.

The boss of the Chen family got into the carriage again and ordered the team to move on.

The team had disappeared into view, and the others turned back to Chengdu City.

Several houses in Chengdu Mansion have information delivered to different people.

"The Chen family also sent someone to Xiangyang? Someone sighed.

"Yes, now that the three states of Shu, Jing, and Jiao have been included in the jurisdiction of the King of Chu, the world has scored two points, and the opportunity has been taken, and the general trend is coming, so naturally I can't bear it anymore and go to take refuge, is it possible to wait for the south to take refuge again?"

"That's what I said!", Xiangyang City, the sunshine of the late autumn and winter of Zhangfu, several personal soldiers lined up to inspect the mansion.

According to the royal system, the fifth rank already has personal soldiers, listed as a fire (ten people), to protect it, the fourth rank has fifteen people, the third rank has twenty people, the second product has thirty people, and the first product has fifty people.

Zhang Youzhi is now a fifth-grade official, and he has a fire of personal soldiers, because he comes and goes to the imperial city, and he doesn't need too many personal soldiers, so he stays mostly in the palace to guard.

Of course, unlike the lords, these pro-soldiers are owned according to their ranks, and once the official position is removed, there will be no more, and only with the title can they be regarded as having a family general.

A fire chief, armed with a long knife, watched vigilantly from a distance.

Zhang Minzhi drank tea, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

The Song family was reused by the king of Chu and began to establish customs, which has been confirmed.

It's not big or small.

Zhang Minzhi's eyes are gloomy, is this the beginning of the king starting to reuse the family?

The first point is that in the past, Wang Hongyi's foundation was shallow and there were many families to wait and see, but now that the power has been established, it is time to invest.

Secondly, there are few scholars among the poor, and due to the environment and financial and material resources in the family, although there are children, there are not a few people who have talents, or even more.

If the king of Chu wants to go further, he is bound to gather many talents for his own use, which is inevitable.

In this way, I am afraid that there will not be a few people who will be reused.

Zhang Minzhi was thoughtful, and he was scheming in his heart, how to help Zhang Yuzhi go further. ！~！
