With the return of Zhao Yun, envoys from various princes and noble families gradually gathered in Fenggao. Whether they came to form an alliance or came as a noble family to make a bet, at this time they all needed to come to see Chen Xi.
In the eleventh month of the third year of Chuping, Liu Bei's civil and military ministers finally rushed back to Mount Tai before Chen Xi's wedding. In contrast, Chen Xi was also merciless in accepting the congratulatory gifts!
The war had not been lost for a whole year. Naturally, every minister was extremely wealthy. Chen Xi was a high-ranking and powerful person under Liu Bei. Naturally, all the civil and military ministers had their share of gifts.
In addition, Taishan is prosperous in commerce. Although the Mi family, Zhen family, and Mrs. Gan are responsible for this, all the big businessmen know that it was Chen Xi who made the rules in the first place, so if they want to live well in Taishan, then
Chen Xi’s favor is indispensable.
After Chen Qun handed the greeting card to Chen Xi's mansion on time, Chen Xi soon came to greet him with his housekeeper. It is said that there is no hostess. If there was one, Chen Xi would also bring her to greet her. Unfortunately, in recent days
Chen Lan and Fan Jian were not only absent from Chen's house at night, but also disappeared during the day.
"Chen Qun, Chen Changwen, the head of the Chen family in Yingchuan." Chen Qun did not make any other introductions. When he came to Chen Xi, he only had the identity of a head of the family.
"Oh, Yingchuan Chen family, Chen Xi, Chen Zichuan." Chen Xi smiled bitterly twice and said, "After meeting you, I suddenly felt that it was no longer interesting, so please come."
Chen Qun walked towards Chen's house calmly. Butler Chen closed the door casually, then followed Chen Qun with his head lowered.
"Sit down, I won't say much else. It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to meet before." Chen Xi said calmly, slightly surprised by Chen Qun's calm and calm nature. After all, Chen Qun is now facing
But an enemy who competes with him for family legitimacy can still maintain such an elegant demeanor. It should be said that the education of the Chen family's children is extremely excellent, right?
"I'm also a little pity that such a person doesn't have the support of my Chen family, but it doesn't matter. After all, your surname is Chen." Chen Qun also said with some emotion, "There are some things I should tell you. You have already proven your ability.
"
"If it's about solidifying the gentry, I already know it, and I don't agree." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "You should know what Xuande Gong said to the people on the altar. So as far as this is concerned, we are
Is there anything else that goes against it?"
A strange look flashed in Chen Qun's eyes, but he was not too surprised. "You can use the resources of the Chen family. From now on, you can represent the Chen family. Every move you make will be followed by countless aristocratic families."
"In other words, what I am doing now can be regarded as an attempt by the Chen family or the world's aristocratic family?" Chen Xi looked at Chen Qun calmly, "Sure enough, all the world's aristocratic families are not fuel-efficient. In other words, even within a family there are differences.
Thoughts, right?"
"Yes, now you can be the front figure of the Chen family, that is, one of the benchmarks of the family. No matter whether your choice is wrong or correct, people will follow you. If what you are doing now is a weak force that existed in all the families in the past.
Then as you come to power, those members of the aristocratic family who were originally suppressed because of the same ideas as you will now be thrown to you as pawns, because you represent the Chen family." Chen Qun said with a hint of ridicule.
"I know that the aristocratic family is not a whole. There are hundreds of people in it. It's okay to tell those families that we want these people." Chen Xi shrugged and said.
"Before, when I heard Liu Xuande's oath on the altar, I thought you were going to destroy the aristocratic family. From your tone, it didn't sound like someone from a humble family who was extremely repulsive to the aristocratic family. If you're interested, tell me what you think and let me learn from it." Chen
Qun asked with great interest.
"After all, I was born into a noble family." Chen Xi glanced at Chen Qun and said, "Where are those people who took away my family property?"
"I have been demoted to a slave. The family is so big that no one can guarantee that I will be clean." Chen Qun said calmly. He had seen this kind of thing too many times.
"Even if the poor family wins, it will eventually become a noble family, so there is no need to deliberately destroy the noble family for the sake of a certain generation. I can only say that if there is a noble family that does not have eyes to block in front of me, then it is natural to destroy it.
As for specifically targeting the aristocratic family, I'm not that stupid." Chen Xi said nonchalantly.
"Throughout the ages, eternity will always be a paradox. When the time comes for aristocratic families to die, they will naturally die, and at that time, someone will lend a hand to give them a push. As for now, even if it is universal education, even if it is a universal education with sufficient money and food,
Can the family really be wiped out?" Chen Xi turned his head and sneered.
Chen Qun's eyes narrowed slightly. Now he was a little confused about what Chen Xi was thinking. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea without saying anything.
"You're afraid that I'll deceive you, right?" Chen Xi said casually.
"After all, you, Chen Zichuan, are not an easy person. If I were not careful, I might not even know that the family was sold." Chen Qun said quietly.
"Forget it, let's each go our own way. Time will verify whether your solidification of class is correct or whether my method is correct." Chen Xi did not want to explain in detail to Chen Qun. He had to admit that universal education plus opening up subjects to obtain a bachelor's degree would indeed work.
It will bring the vast majority of aristocratic families to an end, but it will also create some families that will continue to have elites for generations.
To be honest, Chen Xi never thought about destroying the aristocratic family. All he did was sieve out the dregs and let the bottom class have hope of growing up. But when the bottom class grew up, the geniuses who grew up in far more than the aristocratic family base were still not from the aristocratic family.
There is nothing to say about elite opponents. Don't complain about being suppressed by aristocratic families. Chen Xi will never interfere at that time.
Chen Xi can allow the aristocratic family's blessings to continue for generations, but the condition is that the aristocratic family must show enough ability to match this blessing. The approach of consolidating the class and completely losing their enterprising spirit is completely undesirable in Chen Xi's opinion.
"Okay, let's each verify our own plans. Now the Yuan family and the Yang family are fighting for the position of orthodoxy in the world in a bottom-up and top-down manner respectively. The representatives of the bets are our Chen family, Xun family, and Cui family.
There are several families in the family. But I am not optimistic about the Yang family." Chen Qun didn't want to discuss the worthless issue of who is right or wrong with Chen Xi. He just came to explain a few things and then put Chen Xi's identity on the table.
.
No matter how unhappy Chen Qun is, if a figure like Chen Xi appears in the Chen family in Yingchuan, if he doesn't admit it, others will naturally admit it. Rather than letting others admit it and then damage the authority of the family head, it is better for Chen Qun to admit it himself.
There are moments when the head of every family cannot help himself. To gain power, he needs to bear responsibilities. To gain freedom, he needs to leave the house and work hard on his own. This is the reason why the Qin and Han families continue to exist.
After sending Chen Qun out, Butler Chen followed Chen Xi. When they were almost reaching the inner courtyard, Butler Chen finally spoke, "Master, you are now the Marquis, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity just now to humiliate him?" .”
"Because there is no need. For a arrogant person, watching the person they looked down on surpass themselves bit by bit, and when they finally have to look up, this is more painful than any humiliation for them. Their arrogance will Torture them forever." Chen Xi looked at the sky and said calmly, "When the facts are before their eyes, they will see for themselves that verbal humiliation can only expose the shortcomings of their character."
