The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569
"What does Patriarch Zhang mean by this, is there no guest room in the mansion?"

Everyone thought that Patriarch Zhang would bring them into the mansion and treat them graciously, but they didn't expect to arrange them to the inn, not to mention the lavish hospitality, and he sent them away without even showing his face.

"This is not right." The leader frowned and said, "The head of the Zhang family is a rich family in Yizhou. He served in the court. Although he has a high position and authority, this place is Linzi..."

"Don't bring up this matter again, everyone can rest in peace, and I will send someone to investigate." The other quickly stopped the person just now from continuing, and everyone's expressions were not good.

The so-called head of the Zhang family is a well-known patriarch in Yizhou, and also a very famous celebrity. Now he has surrendered to Liu Bei, and he is highly valued by Liu Bei and holds a high position.

Now it seems that the situation is not as good as they imagined. They have a deep friendship with the Zhang family, and it can be said that it is an interest group headed by the Zhang family. Now that they came, the head of the Zhang family did not see them.

Early the next morning, they received a message from Chen Ziming to hold a banquet at the Xinde Villa outside the city tomorrow.

The head of the Zhang family they said was Zhang Song of Yizhou. Because of his great achievements in introducing Liu Bei to Yizhou, he was entrusted with important tasks. He ranked above Li Hui, Liu Ba and other Yizhou old ministers. It can be said that Yizhou No. 1.

Zhang Song is crazy, but not an idiot, on the contrary, he is very smart. He originally thought that he was the top talent in the world, and he had made great achievements. He would definitely succeed in Liu Bei's place. Compared with Liu Zhang's, he was much more prosperous.
After entering the imperial court and familiarizing himself with the division of political power of the Liu Bei Group, Zhang Song immediately dispelled this idea. Zhang Song was reused by Liu Bei and possessed a lot of real power, but his power was very restricted, and even had a special department to supervise it. , There is no chance to abuse private power at all.

In Yizhou before, he wanted to execute a servant, so easily and without any scruples, even Liu Zhang would not say anything, but here, let alone executing a servant, he could not even punish the servant unreasonably, otherwise he would definitely eat him. lawsuit.

The most important thing is that he has too many political enemies. Most of the old officials in Yizhou are very hostile to Zhang Song, which makes him dare not do illegal things at all.

This time Chen Ziming summoned big merchants and clansmen from all over the country to come to Zizi, and many people from Yizhou also came here, and the family that had a good relationship with the Zhang family also came here jointly. Originally, Zhang Song, who was the boss, should come forward to have a good reunion with them. Discuss at the same time.

But Zhang Song, who is extremely clever, knew how strict Liu Bei supervised the officials below him. Especially after he found that many senior officials in Liu Bei's group seldom met after they were off duty, and rarely met the local clans, he guessed that there must be some reason.

In Yizhou, officials with good friends would have a feast to have a heart-to-heart chat, which can be said to promote peace through singing and dancing, and they often had close contacts with local good clans, but in Linzi, this rarely happened.

After many investigations, Zhang Song knew that Liu Bei didn't like too much contact between officials in the DPRK and China, especially officials with great power and influence. Once they had too close contacts with others, they would definitely be investigated.

Zhang Song, who has quickly become familiar with the way of life, of course dare not meet these people blatantly. If Liu Bei, the monarch, suspects him accidentally, his future will be bleak. Liu Bei is not comparable to Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei Group is not Liu Zhang Group. able to compare.

Of course, the members of Zhang Song's family did not meet Zhang Song, and the interest groups of Liu Ba, Li Hui and others also did not meet their boss. These people are not idiots to make it this far.

It's not that Liu Ba and others are too timid, the main thing is that their old master Liu Zhang is still alive, and he is in Linzi. At this time, they don't dare to be too closely connected with the local power, lest they be misunderstood by Liu Bei and implicate the family and the family. Their old master Liu Zhang.

This kind of ancient clan is very good at juggling power, and at the same time guessing the king's heart, saving time and managing things, so it can last forever.

In fact, the ministers in the court had already speculated that Chen Ziming had called rich people from all over the country to come to Ziming. Most people believed that Chen Ziming wanted to repeat his old tricks and asked these rich people for money to ease the current financial situation of the big man.

This kind of thing was done by Chen Ziming, and it was not once. Although over the years, Chen Ziming has slowly returned the money he borrowed, and the borrowers have benefited a lot, but after all, it is disgraceful to speak out, and it would be disrespectful to the court.

However, many bigwigs still let go of the words quietly. When Chen Ziming asked for money, all parties would give as much as protection money, so as not to be remembered by Chen Ziming and Liu Bei. , but in the eyes of these people, Liu Bei went for the money.

Everyone gathered in Linzi with the feeling of avoiding disasters, and the acquaintances occasionally communicate with each other. They are the wealthiest group of big men, and they can be said to be the biggest rich people in the local area. Now they have the opportunity to get together and talk about business. It is also good to communicate with each other.

Are there many poor people in the big Han, many, most of them are poor people, are there many rich people, most of the wealth of the big Han is in their hands, Liu Bei ruled the next half of the big Han world, and they control half of the world's wealth.

The accumulation of hundreds of years or even longer is not what Chen Ziming and Liub can move in just a few years, especially after the local forces and the important ministers of the court and the central government are united, they are almost invincible. The impact is not too great.

Of course, except for the invasion of foreign clans, many clans that have been passed down for hundreds of years have perished under the blood of foreign clans. Foreign clans are the terminators of clans in Chinese history.

On the second day, countless well-dressed wealthy merchants and representatives of rich families walked out of Linzi and headed for Xinde Shangzhuang outside the city.

No one knows whose site Xinde Shangzhuang belongs to, but the words Xinde Villa are written by Liu Bei himself, which shows the great origin. Many people speculate that it is Chen Ziming's property, but Chen Ziming has never admitted it, and this is the first time Chen Ziming has appeared it's here.

Although Xinde Shangzhuang is outside Linzi City, it has been heavily protected by the army, and it is impossible to get close. As for getting in, don't even think about it. There is a certificate from the local government and an invitation letter from Chen Ziming.

The most important thing is to ask several people to go together, identify each other, confirm that there are no impostors, and no one is allowed to bring entourages. As for the safety issue, no one will worry about this. Now the whole big man, except Liu Bei's palace, is probably the safest here. .

"Patriarch Li, it's a pleasure to meet you..."

"Boss Wang, please..."

"Mr. Ziyu..."

"..."

More than 1000 gorgeously dressed people with extraordinary temperament gathered together and greeted each other with people they knew. They are all the top figures of the big man. Although they have no soldiers and no power, they have money and prestige, and their influence in the local area is unmatched. .
