The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 59 Face Change
"Father, I don't want to work hard anymore."

In Situ's mansion, Yuan Kui looked at his adopted son who was standing respectfully in front of him, his wrinkled old face was full of wonder:

"Effort? What is effort?"

"Uh, foster father, you are the one who has worked hard..."

Cheng Yuanzhi gestured his arms, trying to use the most simple and easy-to-understand expressions to let Yuan Wei understand that his current status and wealth are all obtained through hard work.

The word is new.

Suddenly, Yuan Kui stroked his beard and smiled, shook his head and said, "Why did my son come here today?"

Coming to ask for money, equipment, and contacts Cheng Yuanzhi smiled shyly: "There is nothing left and right, let's come and see the adoptive father."

"Oh?" Yuan Kai looked sideways, nodded Cheng Yuanzhi a few times with his fingers, and laughed loudly knowingly.

One old and one young went in hand in hand, tacitly did not continue talking.

Yuan Kai's possessions were so many that Cheng Yuanzhi was dazzled and dizzy.

There are tens of thousands of hectares of land around Luoyang, the capital city alone. There are two large manors at the foot of Beiman Mountain outside the east city. Each has more than a thousand private soldiers, hundreds of servants, and over ten thousand people under its jurisdiction—all of which do not need to register for household registration and pay taxes. of the people.

This is only Yuan Kai's family property located outside the east city of Luoyang, and he has more properties in Luoyang City, including luxury houses and shops, cloth and grain stores, involving all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Due to the low status of merchants, all aspects of business were left to the servants of the government.

In the inner house of Situ's mansion, on the desk, there are two stacks of land deeds, house deeds and servant deeds, more than one foot high.

This is the background of the first family of Dahan?
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

Cheng Yuanzhi's heart was beating violently, and he looked at Yuan Kai eagerly, as if he was looking at a living God of Wealth.

If all these belongings belong to him...

Yuan Kai smiled, his withered and wrinkled hands passed by two stacks of account books more than a foot thick, picked up two thin land deeds placed aside, and handed them over with a smile:

"Cheng Shou, don't think too little, these are from two big villages outside Dongcheng..."

Huge disappointment instantly enveloped Cheng Yuanzhi.

He didn't listen to a word of what Yuan Kai said afterwards, he just nodded his head mechanically, and responded with "hehe, umm", until he returned to the Dongcheng mansion in a daze.

Cheng Yuanzhi shook the two thin and shabby land deeds in his hands, and roared to the sky:
"Why...why did you let me enter Baoshan but return empty-handed..."

Sugai accompanied him, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his resolute face was full of bewilderment.

My heart is full of question marks and exclamation marks.

He witnessed the whole process of gifting, and he didn't understand why the Marshal who took advantage of the sky would be so unwilling.

……

Cheng Yuanzhi refused to worship Yuan Kui as his adoptive father at first, feeling very conflicted in his heart.

The reason for accepting it is entirely because in this era, if you don't have a good background, you can't recruit talents.

But after seeing Yuan Wei's strong family background, he suddenly had a mature idea.

If he doesn't take this rich family property, he will only benefit others in the end. According to the original history, the winner is either Yuan Shao or Dong Zhuo.

There is a high probability that it was swallowed up by Dong Zhuo.

This is absolutely unacceptable!
If he has such a rich family background as support, the speed of development and merger will be much faster, and he will be able to give better treatment to the subordinates he recruits, so that they will be willing to follow you.

At first, Cheng Yuanzhi thought that recognizing Yuan Kai as a adoptive father had only one benefit, but two harms. It was not until this time that he realized that there was actually one benefit.

Huge benefits!
If the interests are equal, then you have to plan carefully.

if not?
Could it be that he really handed over his family property to Dong Zhuo?

But...it is quite difficult to persuade Yuan Kai to remove his family property from Luoyang City.

Right now, the world is in chaos and the world is restless. In everyone's perception, the capital Luoyang is the safest place.

Yuan Kai must also think so, otherwise he would not have placed all his belongings around Luoyang.

From this point of view, it is even more difficult to convince him.

If you go directly to Yuan Kai and say: "Three years later, the world will be in chaos and Luoyang City will be reduced to ruins. Father, please transfer your family property to my territory."

Yuan Kui will definitely regard him as a lunatic.

While thinking about it, Cheng Yuanzhi quickly calmed down, turned his head and said to Su Gai, "Yuyang, please go and ask Master Situ to come."

Su should answer, scratching his head and walking away.

……

Facts have proved that this adopted son status is still very popular.

Although the adoptive son came to invite him as soon as he left, Yuan Kai happily got into the carriage and came.

Not at all impatient.

After arriving at the Dongcheng mansion, there was no discussion of state affairs, just ramblings, from family history, customs, and anecdotes to poetry and songs.

He and Cheng Yuanzhi casually dragged homework.

Every gesture is full of elders' demeanor and kindness.

This made Cheng Yuanzhi feel dazed for a moment, as if he saw his biological father standing in front of him.

Yuan Kai's words were very natural, Cheng Yuanzhi hardly felt that he was being tricked, but he almost said everything he could say.

Changshan Renshi, who was born in a poor family, was forced to join the Yellow Turban Army...became the commander-in-chief...Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly turned around and cleaned himself up...

Yuan Wei seemed to have known these contents for a long time, and did not show any surprise at all. He was very pleased with his adopted son's frank confession, and he smiled and nodded.

So Cheng Yuanzhi knew that his background was certainly not a secret among the top officials of the Han Dynasty, although not everyone knew it.

This provocative and long talk instantly narrowed the distance between the two of them a lot.

By the end of the conversation, the two looked like a real father and son.

Appearance is also God.

"Unexpectedly, I suffered so much pain when I was a child!"

Yuan Kai stroked his beard and sighed, since his nephew Yuan Shao, he hadn't met such an outstanding young talent for a long time.

He couldn't help being happy to see Lie Xin, and adopted him as a adopted son.

"Thank you foster father for your concern, it's all over." Cheng Yuanzhi said nonchalantly.

Yuan Kui looked over with relief, praised him again and again, and said in his heart:

This son has a tough mind and can accomplish great things!

Cheng Yuanzhi thought for a while, and felt that it was too early, and it was not appropriate to talk to Yuan Kai about the troubled times, so he suppressed his thoughts and ordered his servants to take out Go, put it in the gazebo in the backyard, and talk with Yuan Kai.

Being with Yuan Kai, an elder who has gone through vicissitudes of life and can almost see through people's hearts, is a little cautious, but there is a relationship between relatives, and it is enjoyable.

After a game of chess, the sun is high and the heat is thick.

In the gazebo, under the grape arbor, an old man and a young man sit facing each other with smiles.

Trembling, Yuan Kai took out a stack of land deeds and servant deeds from his cuffs, put them on the chessboard with a smile, and looked over with piercing eyes, meaning something.

You kid didn't call me stingy just now, did you?
Cheng Yuanzhi was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, he didn't scold Yuan Kai for being stingy in private before, otherwise he would have to dig into the ground at this moment.

With this situation and this scene, I suddenly felt something in my heart.

It turns out that from not being full of affection for a person, there is only a pile of assets.

If one stack is not enough, get another stack.

Cheng Yuanzhi stood up and made a respectful salute.

Yuan Kai accepted it calmly, with a smile on his face, and secretly said in his heart:

Unexpectedly, my Yuan family has been rich and honored for a hundred years, and today there are three outstanding people among the juniors, and there is hope for great prosperity.

Throughout the ages, there is no country that will never perish, no house that will not be destroyed, if the other is unbearable, my Yuan family may be able to replace it...

The more they talk, the closer the relationship between father and son becomes.

When Yuan Kai said goodbye, he left with a smile.

When he was about to leave the house, his expression returned to normal instantly.

Just changing his face with this hand made everyone around him tremble.

Cheng Yuanzhi respectfully sent Yuan Wei into the car and left, his eyes inadvertently glanced at many "idle people" outside the gate of the mansion, curled his lips, and turned back to the mansion.

　Twice a day, if something happens today, update in advance.
