The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms
Page 375
So in the end, he could only help his second brother in the Zhen family and develop the Zhen family's business together.
Apart from these three sons, Zhen Yi also has five daughters.
The eldest daughter, Zhen Jiang, married the Zhang family of the same county, that is, the same clan of Zhang He and Zhang Shiping.
The second daughter, Zhen Tuo, also married off.
The third daughter, Zhen Dao, was the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl that Liu Zheng had met before, and it was also the girl who Yuan Shang saw at this time and had lustful thoughts in her heart.
The fourth daughter, Zhen Rong, is only 13 years old.
Zhen Mi, who is only nine years old this year, is practicing horse riding with her two older sisters outside the Wubao of the Zhen family.
The three girls were having fun outside Wubao at this time.
After hearing Yuan Xi's voice suddenly, he was immediately drawn to Yuan Xi by the voice.
Zhen Dao, who was a little older, heard Yuan Xi's words and nodded immediately.
"Well, this is the Wubao of the Zhen family. Do you have anything to do with the Zhen family?"
Zhen Dao has never met Yuan Xi, so he still doesn't know the identity of the man in front of him.
Yuan Xi looked at Zhen Dao carefully, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, it was the most charming moment for a woman, how could a man like Yuan Xi, who is full of vigor, be able to resist Zhen Dao's youthful aura.
He took the initiative to approach Zhen Dao, wanting to get closer to Zhen Dao.
But a woman like Zhen Dao also has her own way of knowing people.
After subconsciously taking a look at Yuan Xi, she saw the aggressive possessiveness on Yuan Xi's face from Yuan Xi's eyes.
Women are very sensitive to this kind of gaze.
Immediately took a step back.
Seeing the resistance and vigilance shown by Zhen Dao, Yuan Xi immediately realized that he had gone too far.
He restrained the expression on his face.
Only then did he change his tone and speak to Zhen Dao again.
"The young master of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi, came to Wuji County to visit the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yan."
Yuan Xi took the initiative to reveal his identity.
In fact, the purpose is very simple.In the area of Jizhou, the identity of his Yuan family is a symbol of status, not to mention that he, Yuan Xi, is now the actual controller of Jizhou.
Not to mention just a small Zhen's family, even some people from aristocratic families would come to kneel and lick him immediately when they saw Yuan Xi.
But Yuan Xi, after expressing his identity, did not receive the desired effect.
Zhen Dao didn't change his mind towards Yuan Xi because of Yuan Xi's status, and even stepped forward to flatter Yuan Xi, but smiled lightly.
"It turned out to be Young Master Yuan. Since the young master is looking for my second brother, please go in. We sisters will play here for a while so we won't be with you."
After Zhen Dao finished speaking, he ignored Yuan Xi, took his two younger sisters and led the pony, and walked to other places.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi felt unwilling and wanted to catch up.Chat more with these little beauties.
But Tian Feng, who was at the side, really interrupted Yuan Xi's thoughts immediately.
"Young master, we are here to find Zhen Yan, so don't make any trouble."
With Tian Feng present and Tian Feng speaking again, Yuan Xi was naturally not easy to express his true thoughts. After all, Yuan Xi still had to rely on Tian Feng to some extent.
With Tian Feng at Yuan Xi's side, Yuan Xi was able to have enough ability to deal with the Karasuma people and some local Han families in Youzhou.
Don't look at Yuan Xi now sitting on the whole of Youzhou and most of Jizhou, but in fact Yuan Xi doesn't have much influence.
Firstly, he did not inherit Yuan Shao's family background, and his own power is not too strong.
Secondly, he is not a genius, he does not have superb martial arts and resourcefulness.
The reason why he is able to achieve today's achievements is entirely because he wins over the Karasuma people and circles among the great families in Youzhou, and borrows the power of the Karasuma people and those Youzhou noble families.
Only then was he able to defeat his eldest brother Yuan Tan and sit in the present world.
Behind this, Tian Feng's strategizing is indispensable.Without Tian Feng's help, Yuan Xi might not be able to achieve what he is now.
So Yuan Xi still has some admiration and respect for Tian Feng.
After Tian Feng spoke, Yuan Xi could only bear with what he was thinking secretly, turned around and led a few of his cronies to the outside of Zhenjiawu Fort.
He sent two servants to knock on the door.
Then the people inside led Yuan Xi and others into the castle.
Yuan Xi and the others did not wait at the door, after all, they were distinguished.
Just after the servant brought Yuan Xi into the Wubao of the Zhen family, the servants of the Zhen family quickly sent news to Zhen Yan.
Zhen Yan was planning to take people to see Liu Zheng and his party brought back by Zhen Yao, but at this moment, when he heard the servants say that Yuan Xi came to visit, Zhen Yan's expression changed when he was frightened, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He wanted to go there as soon as possible to tell Zhen Yao that Liu Zheng and others should avoid them for a while, but it was too late.
The servants had already brought Yuan Xi's men to the reception hall.
On the other side of the living room, Liu Zheng, Zhen Yao and others were discussing the cooperation between the two companies, but they heard the servants outside deliberately louder.
"Master Yuan Xi, this way please, the Patriarch of my family will be here soon."
The servant knew that Zhen Yao was here to meet Liu Zheng and the others, but even if he wanted to stop Yuan Xi, he couldn't stop him. He couldn't let Yuan Xi wait outside, so he had to lead Yuan Xi in first.
So when it is about to arrive, let's remind Zhen Yao, Liu Zheng and others inside loudly.
Liu Zheng and Zhen Yao were almost finished chatting, but at this moment they heard a servant say that Yuan Xi had come, which frightened Zhen Yao.
After all, Liu Zheng's current identity is from the Mi family in Xuzhou.
Speaking of which, the Mi family is now Liu Zheng's team. Although Yuan Xi and Liu Zheng are not hostile, they are not friends either.
It would not be a good thing if Yuan Xi knew Liu Zheng's identity.
If you really want to talk about it, it is also possible to punish the Zhen family for the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy.
But Liu Zheng and others, it is impossible to leave here now.
Both Liu Zheng and Zhen Yao tensed up. Before they could react, Yuan Xi had already walked in with a few cronies.
Chapter 878 The Enraged Yuan Xi
Yuan Xi took Tian Feng, and the two walked in from the outside. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were still some people in the hall.
However, Zhen Yao and Yuan Xi knew each other.
"Hey, Zhen Yao, you are here."
As soon as Yuan Xi came in, he saw Zhen Yao.
Zhen Yao still had some surprise on his face, but when Yuan Xi came in, he reacted quickly and hurriedly saluted Yuan Xi.
"What kind of wind brought Mr. Yuan Xi to our Zhen family?"
Obviously, Zhen Yao asked knowingly. At this time, Yuan Xi came to the Zhen family, besides asking about the food of the Zhen family, what other reason could there be.
"Today, I happened to be patrolling in Zhongshan County, which is relatively close to your Zhen family's territory, so I came over to take a look. By the way, where is your second brother Zhen Yan?"
Although I saw Zhen Yao here, Yuan Xi did not come to find Zhen Yao. Although Zhen Yao is the third master of the Zhen family, the power of the head of the family is still placed on Zhen Yan, and Yuan Xi is also here. It's for Zhen Yan.
As long as Zhen Yan opened his mouth, the food and grass that Yuan Xi wanted would basically be stable.
"My second brother is inspecting some utensils in the yard. He must come to receive Mr. Yuan soon. You just have to wait here."
When Yuan Xi asked, Zhen Yao didn't dare not answer, and quickly said something to Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi nodded, and didn't ask any more questions about Zhen Yan.
He walked into the house from the outside, and then he set his sights on these people in the house.
Yuan Xi's eyes swept across the room, and gradually fell on Liu Zheng, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei.
Liu Zheng and Guo Jia are fine, they both look like weak scholars. Although Liu Zheng often goes to the battlefield, his martial arts foundation is not strong.
Guo Jia basically has no martial arts, just a bookworm.
On the other hand, Dian Wei, who was born with a hulking back and a hulking waist, looked big and thick, and was bigger than Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others in terms of size alone.
Therefore, it attracted more attention. Yuan Xi took a few more glances at Dian Wei's body, and recognized Dian Wei's martial arts skills at a glance.
But seeing Dian Wei standing behind Liu Zheng again, he knew that Liu Zheng was the master of these people.
Yuan Xi said something to Zhen Yao.
"Zhen Yao, who are these?"
After Yuan Xi set his sights on Liu Zheng and the others, it inevitably made Zhen Yao a little nervous.
"Uh, these are our additional guests. They are merchants from neighboring counties. They are here today. We plan to discuss the cooperation between the two companies."
Zhen Yao did not directly reveal Liu Zheng's identity.
After all, Liu Zheng's identity is really too sensitive.
If Yuan Xi knew Liu Zheng's identity, Yuan Xi would definitely think too much. If Liu Zheng were really arrested, then the Zhen family's hope of cooperating with the Mi family would be wiped out again.
So when Yuan Xi didn't directly ask the names of Liu Zheng and others.Zhen Yao still doesn't intend to tell Yuan Xi, Liu Zheng and others' identities.
At this moment, Yuan Xi really didn't think much about it.After all, for a large business family like the Zhen family, it is quite normal for some guests to come to discuss business occasionally.
Besides, it was not the owner Zhen Yan who came to receive these guests, which meant that the identities of these guests were not very important.
That's why a third master, Zhen Yao, was appointed to negotiate.
Yuan Xi did not continue to ask about the identities of these people.
After learning that Zhen Yao and the guests were talking about something here, Yuan Xi was somewhat interested.
"What are you talking about here?"
"It's like this, son, didn't you send someone to our Zhen family to raise a batch of grain and grass. I have already sent people to the surrounding counties to buy grain and grass, but the surplus grain in the nearby counties is limited. It is very difficult to collect enough food and grass. So I am wondering if I can expand the scope of collecting food and grass to the neighboring counties."
"These guests are some traveling merchants from the neighboring states and counties. I am discussing with them about raising grain and grass transportation in other states and counties."
Yuan Xi just asked casually just now, but when he heard Zhen Yao's words that he was talking about raising food and grass for him, he became interested.
Immediately asked.
"I didn't expect the Zhen family to care so much about what they said to me. I'm really grateful. How much food and grass have you raised so far?"
That's why Yuan Xi came here. Now that Zhen Yao brought up the topic of grain and grass, Yuan Xi naturally wanted to know whether it was true or not, and how much grain and grass he had raised for him.
Hearing Yuan Xi ask this, Zhen Yao showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Master Hui, the food supply in the counties has been tightened recently, and last year's harvest was not good. The people have little surplus food. Even if we buy food and grass from the people at a high price in the past few days, it is difficult to really collect much food and grass."
"Today, only three thousand stones of grain and grass have been collected."
Zhen Yao told Yuan Xiyi about the current situation of the Zhen family.
But Yuan Xi did not understand.
What he got in return was Yuan Xi's anger.
"what!"
Yuan Xi's face changed and he exclaimed.
"Only three thousand stones of food and grass?"
At that time, Yuan Xi asked the Zhen family to raise [-] shi for food and grass for him.
Originally thought that after so many days, the Zhen family should have collected all the food and grass.
But now when Zhen Yao said that he had only collected [-] yuan, Yuan Xi was in a bad mood, his gloomy face made it clear that he was extremely angry at the moment.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still a few cronies around, Yuan Xi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
Maybe he will go crazy on the spot.
Arrest Zhen Yao for questioning.
"Trash, isn't your Zhen family the largest business family in Jizhou? Why can't you even bring out a mere [-] shi of grain and grass?"
"When my father was alive, you were my father's biggest sponsors. How come you don't even have a tenth of my father's money when you are in my hands, Yuan Xi?"
"Are you looking down on me, Yuan Xi?"
