"Yulang is really a young adult. No wonder Guo Jijiu looks at you differently."
Mrs. Bian smiled lightly: "But what Yulang said about Pi'er's future is a bit too much. After all, this is a matter that only your father can decide."
"It's not a big deal."
He Yan clapped his fingers: "Father is also a human being, he also has feelings, and naturally he also has choices."
"But I don't want to talk about my father, but I want to talk to Aunt Bian about the Bian family."
To say that Mr. Bian is a bit flattering to Mrs. Bian.
After all, Mrs. Bian only had one younger brother, Bian Bing. The two siblings lost their parents when they were young, and their lives were very difficult. They relied on Mrs. Bian to earn a living by doing business.
Later, Mrs. Bian married Cao Cao and became the wife of the royal family due to various changes caused by Cao Ang's death. Only then did the siblings complete their counterattack.
Therefore, the entire Bian family is actually just Bian Bing and his descendants.
"As far as I know, Aunt Bian's younger brother Bian Bing has made a lot of contributions while staying with his father over the years. Although he has the title of Duxiang Marquis, his official and military positions have never been high. Does Aunt Bian know why this is?"
As soon as He Yan opened his mouth, he caught Mrs. Bian's mind.
Apart from her own children, the only thing Mrs. Bian cared about was Bian Bing, whom she had been dependent on when she was young.
Bian Bing worked diligently under Cao Cao, but he never got promoted, which really made Mrs. Bian a little anxious.
But every time Mrs. Bian asked Cao Cao about Bian Bing, Cao Cao was careless and refused to promote Bian Bing. As a result, the younger brother of the dignified Mrs. Bian only held the official position of Sima of a certain department.
"Yu Lang knows why?"
"Of course I know."
He Yan pointed out unceremoniously: "Does Aunt Bian still remember my grandfather and great aunt?"
Mrs. Bian's expression suddenly changed.
The grandfather and aunt mentioned by He Yan were naturally He Jin, the general of the Han Dynasty, and Queen He, the empress of Emperor Ling.
"After Queen He married Emperor Ling, my grandfather skyrocketed and became a great general of the Han Dynasty."
"When Queen He gave birth to Queen Hongnong, my grandfather even wanted to assist King Hongnong to ascend the throne as emperor!"
"How powerful was my grandfather at that time? Emperor Ling obviously preferred to be the emperor, but he did not dare to issue a legacy. He could only set up the "Eight Captains of Xiyuan" to divide my grandfather's military power..."
The relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty are all a fierce bunch!
General He Jin was no exception. When he was in power, even with the support of Emperor Ling, the Shi Chang Shi were suppressed and breathless by him.
It stands to reason that with He Jin's power, as long as he doesn't seek death, it will be easy to smoothly support the little emperor Liu Bian to the throne.
But history has proven that it is too difficult to prevent a person from committing suicide~~~
He Jin finally committed suicide and entered the palace alone, but was killed by the Shi Changshi who jumped over the wall in a hurry.
After that, countless chain reactions were triggered. Yuan Shao killed ten regular servants, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the Han Dynasty collapsed...
He Jin, Queen He and others jointly performed this drama, plus the historical lessons since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Which prince in the Three Kingdoms dared to support a "foreign relative"?
What's more, as a complete experiencer of the whole thing, how could Cao Cao not be on guard?
Not to mention Cao Cao, even princes like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who came from aristocratic families did not dare to reuse their relatives, for fear that the tragedy of the Han Dynasty would happen again to their descendants.
In this special period, as long as Cao Cao does not die, Bian Bing will never be able to hold a high position and hold great power in his life.
This also means that Bian Bing's path to officialdom is blocked.
After He Yan did not hesitate to "forget his ancestors" and uncovered He Jin's dark history, Mrs. Bian was also a little disheartened.
"According to Yulang, my brother can no longer be reused?"
"Um."
He Yan said with certainty: "At least as long as my father still controls the government, there is no hope."
Although Mrs. Bian is quite intelligent, she does not fully understand the twists and turns of politics.
In the past, she didn't know why Cao Cao was unwilling to reuse Bian Bing, but now she understood it after He Yan's explanation.
Mrs. Bian felt a little sad for a moment: "It turns out that this is the reason. Fortunately, my brother thought it was something he did not do well..."
But Mrs. Bian is an old lady after all, and she quickly calmed down in front of this junior He Yan: "Thank you Yulang for clarifying the confusion, but I don't know what you mean by making Bian rich?"
"Aunt Bian, the Bian family cannot make achievements in the officialdom, but it does not mean that they cannot be rich."
He Yan finally came to his conclusion——
"If you can't make progress in an official position, then why not become a wealthy businessman?"
Rich businessman?
He Yan spread out the land deeds one by one and told Mrs. Bian about the price reduction of the fields around Xuchang.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As long as we can seize a large amount of land, the Bian family will be considered a wealthy family in Yingchuan County."
"With land, there is a foundation. As long as it develops for two or three generations, the Bian family will become a famous family with the help of my aunt!"
"Isn't this opportunity an opportunity to make the Bian family rich?"
Mrs. Bian took over the land deed and found that the land price is very cheap now!
He Yan saw Mrs. Bian's agitated look and was pursuing the victory: "In the past, the fields in Yingchuan County were all in the hands of local families, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to get it!"
"But because many Yingchuan aristocratic families have a close relationship with their father, they are also afraid that they will be settled by the Queen after Yuan Shao calls, so they use wealthy businessmen who are close to them to sell off their properties and want to go to the south to take refuge and leave blood to the family...
"
He Yan's eyes were very bright: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If I wait until my father defeats Yuan Shao and Xuchang stabilizes again, it will be really difficult for the Bian family to become big again!"
"..."
Mrs. Bian has gradually begun to be unable to keep up with He Yan's thinking.
When everyone is concerned about the war on the front line, He Yan actually wants to kill a wave of Yingchuan family?
"This, this..."
Mrs. Bian bit her lips lightly, she wanted to tell He Yan: "Auntie really doesn't understand, please stop talking..."
"Yu Lang!"
Mrs. Bian interrupted He Yan, who was still talking, and her tone was a little anxious: "You just say what you want to do?"
"Borrow money! Partnership!"
He Yan pointed at himself and then at Mrs. Bian: "My aunt and Mrs. Bian will pay for it, and I am the mastermind to buy a large amount of land!"
Mrs. Bian took a deep breath: "Yulang, you are still young..."
This is obviously a statement of refusal.
However, He Yan did not give Mrs. Bian any room to play, and asked directly: "Then how will Aunt Bian support Cao Pi in his fight for the throne in the future?"
"If Bian Bing has neither power nor wealth, what help can he provide to Cao Pi?"
"Could Aunt Bian really leave Cao Pi's fate and future purely to her father's love?"
This question undoubtedly hits Mrs. Bian’s Achilles heel again!
