Chapter 128: The Necessity of the Zhen Family in Jizhou
Hua Xiong led the infantry on horseback to Yanzhou. The latest information had been obtained. Cao Mengde had become the governor of Yanzhou. Then Chen Xi had defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and ordered Hua Xiong to pass through Chenliu as quickly as possible without causing trouble. He sent Zang Ba to come with him.
Come and greet us just in case.
Of course, once Zang Ba comes out of Mount Tai to greet Hua Xiong, it means that the situation with Cao Mengde will change badly, so Chen Xi hopes that Hua Xiong will not use the cavalry led by Zang Ba as a last resort. After all, once Zang Ba enters the country, he will be
He fell out with Cao Cao. In this situation of seeking stability, his high-profile style was just to prevent others from disrupting his plans, not to provoke a war.
With this letter, Hua Xiong became more careful. He did not want to cause problems with Chen Xi's grand strategy because of himself, even though he had no idea what the so-called general trend was.
On the other side, the battle between the Zhen family in Jizhou and the Mi family in Xuzhou has also reached a fever pitch. The five wealthy businessmen are fighting among themselves. The battle between the first and the fifth. The shocking result is that from the beginning, the Mi family in Xuzhou has become a three-generation family.
The wealthy businessmen directly suppressed the Zhen family, which had been a large family for more than a century. They suppressed the Zhen family in all aspects and almost directly blocked the entire Zhen family's business channels.
Almost everyone in Jizhou has a rough estimate of how rich the Zhen family is, but they don’t want to be easily blocked when facing the Mi family. For the same things, the Mi family has better quality and cheaper prices. As for new products, the Zhen family
The Mi family has already been put on the table before it appears. This difference makes it difficult for the Zhen family to ship goods, and they can only rot in their hands.
However, fortunately, the Zhen family itself is located in Jizhou itself and is very popular. Moreover, it is from an aristocratic family and has its own exclusive channels. It did not suffer much impact at the beginning. At most, the sales of the middle and lower classes were affected by the Mi family.
However, this situation has not happened to the Zhen family before, so they continue to focus on their upper-level sales.
The tragedy of businessmen in this era is that their status is too low to get in touch with the real top aristocratic families. Only aristocratic families are qualified to communicate with aristocratic families. Businessmen are not qualified at all, so the Zhen family does not care at all about the impact of the Mi family.
Originally, there was really no way for the Mi family to be truly independent, but now there are too many comrades in the Mi family, and not all Jizhou families like the Zhen family. There are always one or two who dislike the Zhen family, for example, they are the elders of Jizhou.
The Cui family of the aristocratic family and the Geng family, descendants of Liu Xiucong Longzhichen, will not forget the opportunity to take advantage of it.
This is a tragedy for the Zhen family. The top-level sales are supported by the Zhang family and the Geng family, while the Mi family below has begun to clear out the sales. If it were not suppressed by the Jizhou government, the current Zhen family would have asked the Mi family to invite out the middle and lower classes.
The scope of sales has been reduced. As a result, the Zhen family, who originally planned to make a lot of money in Jizhou, was directly blocked this time. All the goods were held in hand, and a large amount of money was lost every day.
"What the hell is the Mi family going to do!" Zhen Mi's mother, Mrs. Zhang, looked at the daily accounts and the fire was erupting. She never thought that a century-old wealthy family like their Zhen family would be destroyed by a small family that had arisen from three generations.
Lock it down!
"Mistress, mistress is in trouble!" At this moment, the housekeeper of the Zhen family shouted and rushed to the door of the inner courtyard.
"Zhen Lun, what are you yelling about!" Madam Zhang asked with a frown, why Zhen Lun, as the housekeeper, doesn't have any dignity of the Zhen family at this time, it's so embarrassing, "Go down and get the ten sticks!"
"The mistress is in trouble, the Mi family and the government officials have come to collect debts with the entire Zhen family's contract." Zhen Lun lowered his head and quickly explained the whole thing.
Mrs. Zhang was startled when she heard this, and then all the events of the whole year came together, "Okay, okay, I don't know which family dares to plot against my Zhen family like this. Let's go and see. The Cui family and the Geng family don't have the guts yet.
If the people behind the scenes think that the Mi family alone can make the Zhen family of Jizhou surrender, it is really a joke. Come on, if he wants to see the official, we will go to the official! If our Zhen family can be defeated by a three-generation family in Jizhou
Businessman, then it’s time for my Zhen family to die!”
"Mi Zizhong has met Mrs. Zhen." Mi Zhu smiled bitterly when he saw Mrs. Zhang and cupped his hands. He was not willing to do such a thing as a villain.
"Are you Mi Zizhong?" Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mi Zhu and nodded slightly, "You are indeed a talented person. How do you feel about not being able to help yourself?"
"Zhu naturally doesn't want to, but since I've agreed, that's all I can do. Madam, I'm going to invite you!" Mi Zhu nodded, but did not agree with Zhang's statement, and turned sideways to make a gesture of invitation.
"Let's go, I want to see how the people behind you can defeat our Jizhou Zhen family in Jizhou. If the head of the Mi family is homeless in the future, he can come to my Zhen family. I believe in Mi Zizhong's talent." Zhang said with a chuckle.
, there is no trace of panic about the current situation, and the noble lady's bearing is fully displayed.
"Oh, madam, please do. The Zhen family's ability on the ground in Jizhou is indeed powerful, but it is limited to Jizhou. Madam may not even know who she has offended. Sometimes a word or a look can cause huge damage.
Madam, please continue when the time comes." Mi Zhu shook her head slightly, not the slightest annoyed by Zhang's words, and replied calmly.
When Chen Xi defeated the Yellow Turbans, surrendered millions of dollars, and incorporated Qingzhou into Mount Tai, and marched north with the power of victory, Mi Zhu knew the outcome. Not to mention that the Zhen family was now in the wrong, even if the Zhen family was polite, they would be abandoned by Jizhou. No
People are willing to bring the flames of war to their own doorsteps because of outsiders. The Zhen family is just one of the wealthy families in Jizhou. Let alone the largest family, even the largest family can only handle this matter alone this time.
The strength of a family lies in their connections. Only with this kind of connections can they become a powerful force in the local area. But this time, the Zhen family's connections could only remain silent under the suppression of the Yuan family's connections!
As a result, the strength of the Zhen family without connections has dropped by 90%, and Chen Xi has a good opportunity to convince the Zhen family and drive a nail into Hebei. Although this nail is not stable at all now, as time goes by
As Liu Xuande's power increases, this nail will become more and more stable!
When Liu Xuande's power becomes stable one day, the Zhen family will see the opportunity to follow Long. At that time, compared to the Yuan family who abandoned themselves, the Zhen family will naturally make a choice, a nail that can shake the foundation of Jizhou if necessary.
The Zhen family's connections are what Chen Xi needs. This time the Zhen family lost because the Yuan family was too strong and other families had no choice but to give up. When Liu Bei gained power and defeated Yuan Shao in Hebei, the situation of strength and weakness would be
It will be reversed, and the entire Hebei family needs to think about turning to the Zhen family supported by Liu Bei, or continuing to follow the Yuan family!
In this way, many things will be solved easily, so the Zhen family is very important in Chen Xi's plan. Too many calculations require a Hebei wealthy family, and too many plans require a Hebei wealthy family to come forward!
