After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Kuai Yue felt a little relieved.
That's right, I heard that Liu Shijun has a kind heart. Even if the Cai family is unwilling to cooperate with the state pastoral government, they will not kill them all and will always leave a way to survive.
That's good, that's good.
Although there are fights between powerful people, they are all powerful people in Nanjun, and they do not come to the point of life and death. More often than not, they form alliances.
Therefore, although Kuai Yue had the idea of competing for the powerful leader of Nanjun, he did not have the idea of destroying the Cai family.
Caizhou is not very far from Zhonglu. After all, they are both near Xiangyang. How far can they go?
Therefore, it didn't take long for Chen Yuan and the others to arrive in Caizhou, where the Cai family is located.
Caizhou was built in the middle of the river, and there were people from the Cai family on the bank to welcome guests.
After Chen Yuan and Kuai Yue revealed their identities, the people who greeted the guests naturally did not dare to neglect them. They supported a large boat, let Chen Yuan and others board the boat, and took Chen Yuan and others across the river to the island.
This ship is really big. It has three floors and is more than ten meters high. It was transformed from a warship building. The parapet was removed and the space for rooms on the second and third floors was increased.
Military use has greatly declined, while manned and recreational use has greatly increased.
This three-story ship highlights Cai Jiaqiang's financial resources and strong connections in the navy.
Chen Yuan stood on the building boat, with his hands behind his back, feeling the slowly blowing river wind, and suddenly asked: "Brother Yidu, do the Cai family have many buildings like this?"
Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment and then returned: "Half of the Cai family's wealth comes from land, and half of it comes from commerce. The Cai family's boats shuttle on the river. There are naturally many boats, but a three-story building like this
The Cai family doesn’t have many boats, it should be within the palm of a hand. I don’t know the details. After all, this is a secret of the Cai family and few outsiders know about it.”
Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes unpredictable.
The Cai family also has so much water power, no wonder they were able to accumulate such wealth.
If the Cai family is annexed, it will be a wave of wealth.
But it's a bit difficult. It can be destroyed, but the consequences are a bit serious.
Forget it, let’s take a look at the Cai family’s attitude first.
If the Cai family is not too arrogant, it is not impossible to cooperate with the Cai family.
Such powerful water power is of great use.
Although the building boat was big, it was not slow at all, and it arrived in Caizhou very quickly.
This Caizhou was originally a sandbar formed by the impact of the river. The Cai family spent a lot of energy to stabilize and expand it, and finally created a holy land.
Chen Yuan had just looked at Caizhou. It was hundreds of meters wide and several thousand meters long. It was dotted with pavilions and pavilions, and the faint sound of orchestral music could be heard. It really looked like a fairyland.
Crowning Nanzhou is indeed true.
When he was about to approach Caizhou, Chen Yuan saw a man leading many slaves waiting at the dock.
From a distance, the appearance is not very clear, but the purple gold crown is eye-catching.
Purple gold crowns usually belong to princes, princes, grandsons, and capable young generals.
But except for the prince, few people wear it.
It's not that there is something taboo, but most people won't be so arrogant.
But some people like to wear them, such as Lu Bu, such as the person in front of me.
Kuai Yue wisely said: "The one wearing the golden crown is Cai Degui."
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and was proud of himself. This comment was really appropriate.
This guy is really flamboyant, he has the same character as Lu Bu.
It's just that you don't have Lu Bu's strength at all.
People are crazy and have the confidence to be crazy.
Where does your confidence come from? Is it from the Cai family?
While they were talking, the dock had arrived, and Chen Yuan was the first to disembark.
As soon as Chen Yuan stood firm, Cai Hao came over to greet him.
I saw Cai Mao cupping his hands and saluting: "Xiangyang Cai Mao and Cai Degui, I have met Chen Biejia. It is a great honor for Biejia to come to my Cai family. It is a great honor. Please come to the island to say goodbye."
This word is similar to what Quiney said before.
At first glance, it’s just a scene.
Although Cai Mao is arrogant and arrogant, he is not a fool.
Chen Yuan represented Liu Bei, the shepherd of Jingzhou, so Cai Mao naturally had to show all the courtesy and not lose Chen Yuan's face.
Chen Yuan returned the favor with a smile: "My lord first arrived in Jingzhou, and he should have paid a visit in person. However, the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang resurrected, and the Qin Governor's request for help was sent to the Prefectural Mufu. My lord led his troops to quell the rebellion. Before leaving, he specially asked me
On his behalf, I came to visit the Cai family to ask for strategies to stabilize Xiangyang and Jingzhou, and I also asked Degui to give me some advice."
Cai Mao smiled to himself: "Don't be too harsh. No one from the countryside dares to comment on your strategy. But my Cai family has a reputation in Jingzhou, and I will do my best to help Duke Xuande pacify Jingzhou and ensure peace and prosperity in Jingzhou."
.”
Cai Mao's words may seem modest, but in fact they reveal a very arrogant meaning.
If you, Liu Xuande, want to bring peace to Jingzhou, you will definitely not be able to do so without my Cai family.
Kuai Yue felt a little anxious when he heard Cai Mao say such words.
Cai Degui, Cai Degui, you are so arrogant that you don't ask who Liu Bei is, or who is this Chen Zichu who is smiling and looking harmless.
They were able to capture Jingzhou Mu by suppressing the Yellow Turbans. How could they be compared to ordinary officials?
Being so arrogant will lead to disaster.
After listening to Cai Mao's words, Chen Yuan remained calm and smiled slightly: "In this case, please give me some advice from De Gui."
Seeing Chen Yuan's low profile, Cai Mao couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Mao will definitely tell you everything he knows."
While talking, the group of people, led by Cai Mao, boarded Caizhou and arrived in front of a manor.
This manor is magnificently built, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is surrounded by trees and flowers.
It is a beautiful house with a hint of purity amidst its splendor.
There is a plaque above the gate with three large characters engraved on it.
Xuhuaiyuan.
Chen Yuan looked at these three big characters and couldn't help but smile to Cai Hao and said: "Humility is as great as a valley, and virtue is not as good as virtue. De Gui can be a role model for his teacher."
The name of this courtyard is exactly the same as Cai Mao.
Degui means virtue, and Gui means standards, standards and laws.
Together they mean moral standards.
It is obvious that the person who named Cai Mao hopes that Cai Mao can be humble and self-sufficient and become a person of noble moral character.
Perhaps this person saw Cai Mao's character shortcomings, and not only was he awakened by the name, but he also gave the courtyard where he lived such a name. He had good intentions.
Cai Hao just laughed after hearing Chen Yuan's words, but he didn't say much.
There seems to be some disapproval.
The group entered Xuhuaiyuan and came to the lobby. After the guests and hosts sat down, Cai Hao couldn't wait to speak.
"Liu Shijun wants to conquer Jingzhou, but the first is the clan traitor. If the clan traitor doesn't go, it will be difficult for Jingzhou to be at peace, for the people to be at peace, and for the aristocratic families to be peaceful."
Chen Yuan was a little surprised. This sect is so powerful, and it has nothing to do with powerful people like you. Chen Yuan never believed that there was no powerful figure behind this sect.
