Chapter 137 The Jiangdong Family and the Jingzhou Clan!
So when Zhou Buyi first came back, Cao Chong brought Zhou Buyi to the living room.
This living room is not the living room in the outer courtyard, but the living room in the inner courtyard.
The living room in the outer courtyard is full of people who are not very familiar with each other, and it is also a place to hold banquets.
Because the living room in the outer yard is relatively large.
The living room in the inner courtyard is relatively small, but although it is small, it is much more refined than the living room in the outer courtyard.
The decoration here is somewhat different from the style of this era, but more like the style of offices in later generations.
Exquisite and simplicity, every decoration has its meaning of existence.
Cao Chong even made some gadgets from later generations into it.
For example, a ghost thing like the third-level Rubik's Cube.
r is 90 degrees clockwise on the right; l is 90 degrees clockwise on the left.
u is 90 degrees clockwise at the top; d is 90 degrees clockwise at the bottom.
f is 90 degrees clockwise in front; b is 90 degrees clockwise in back.
.............
Cao Chong thought that when he was studying Rubik's Cube to pick up girls, he also worked hard for a while.
But there was a mantra at that time. People in this era want to do it well?
Do you really think you are the ancestor of China Chongzhi?
I'm afraid there is not enough time to deal with this third-level Rubik's Cube.
Not to mention that after the third level Rubik's Cube, there are also the fourth level and ninth level those unhuman things.
Cao Chong followed Zhou Buyi to the living room, and the latter indeed picked up the Rubik's Cube and started fiddling with it.
Zhou Buyi can only make a difference. In later generations, he is not even as good as a primary school student.
Thinking of this, Cao Chong always felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
snort!
If you can't even turn a Rubik's Cube, how can you be my little brother?
This Zhou Buyi is still a little bad! (Arrogant face)
When Cao Chong made a Rubik's Cube, he also tried it for Zhuge Liang and made Zhuge Liang scratch his head decisively.
The smartest people in this era are still a little powerless when facing things like Rubik's Cube.
After both of them sat down, Cao Chong immediately asked the question he wanted to ask.
"What do those people from the Huang family and Lu family say?"
This is the news that Cao Chong values the most now.
The reason why Cao Chong sent Zhou Buyi to negotiate was naturally because these aristocratic families gave Cao Chong's conditions, and there were many conditions that made Cao Chong excited.
For example, giving people, giving money, or even directly as Cao Chong's dependence, or even doing something shameful for Cao Chong in private.
These are the things that these families have promised.
However, with the nature of these aristocratic families, Cao Chong would be grateful to God.
That's why Cao Chong asked this question.
He wanted to know how much benefit he had left.
Zhou Buyi naturally knew the urgency in Cao Chong's heart, so Zhou Buyi did not dare to practice Tai Chi, let alone pretend to be profound.
It should be noted that Cao Chong now has grasped Zhou Buyi's lifeline.
This lifeline is Xiahou Bai.
If this guy called Xiahou Bai over, wouldn't he be doomed?
Thinking that when I had deceived Xiahou Bai before and saw Xiahou Bai again, I guess my fate would not be much better.
Thinking of this, Zhou Buyi couldn't help but shake off a little.
Too scary.
It's so scary.
That big hand like a palm fan!
Cao Chong looked at Zhou Buyi and shivered for a moment, thinking that Zhou Buyi was frightened.
Or has it become "don't" now?
Just as Cao Chong was thinking about it, Zhou Buyi said the words.
"The Lu family is because Lu Xun and Lu Song are both here in Cang Shu, so he basically agreed to the Lu family's request. However, the Huang family is a bit bargaining, and seems to be very dissatisfied with Cang Shu's request. Other aristocratic families, such as the Zhang family, Liu family and Cai family, although there are bargaining, they dare not be too dissatisfied."
The Huang family was the only one bargaining, and the other aristocratic families were all very peaceful.
This surprised Cao Chong.
In Cao Chong's opinion, half of these aristocratic families agreed to their requests.
Unexpectedly, these aristocratic families far exceeded their expectations.
Cao Chong lowered his head and thought, but there was a flash of light in his eyes.
Before, I misjudged the desire of those aristocratic families to approach the center of power, especially the Jiangdong aristocratic families.
After the battle when Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong, the Jiangdong family was seriously injured, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to send some powerful people.
For example, Man Chong, Zhong Yao and others have worked as Yangzhou governors in Jiangdong for the past three years.
Although Man Chong was respectful in front of Cao Cao, he was the most fierce minion to others, and he was not much inferior to the father Yan Zhang Tang and others during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.
Not to mention Zhong Yao, when he was working in the northwest, even ethnic minorities were suppressed and beaten by Zhong Yao, let alone those Jiangdong families who were seriously injured.
Under the leadership of these two people, the strength of the Jiangdong family not only did not recover, but instead further declined.
The reason for this is naturally because Cao Cao deliberately asked them to "take care of" these aristocratic families.
So in fact, the Jiangdong family has not been doing very well in the past few years, which is why they are willing to agree to Cao Chong's request.
If you don’t agree to Cao Chong’s request, let alone the things you lost to Cao Chong, you may not be able to protect even the clan.
This is the difficulty of the Jiangdong family.
Compared with the Jiangdong family, the treatment of the Jingzhou clan is much better than that of the Jiangdong family. At least, due to Liu Cong's surrender, although the strength of the Jingzhou clan has declined, it has not declined much.
This is also the reason why the Huang family and the Lu family have extraordinary attitudes.
One is in dire straits, while the other is waiting to be sold. The two cannot be compared with each other.
Of course, no matter what these aristocratic families are, they are all the help of Cao Chong and are a good thing.
However, before it is a good thing, there must be a prerequisite.
That is, you are going to be accepted by the Cao Wei Group. It’s not what I, Cao Chong, asks you for you, but what you should ask me for.
This relationship cannot be messed up.
Therefore, Cao Chong felt a little angry about the Huang family's attitude.
Bargaining is of course OK, but it cannot be too much.
Originally, Cao Chong thought that most families opposed it because they were not prepared to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but now the only one who emerged was the Huang family.
This is a good time for Cao Chong to establish his authority.
Don’t you guys be afraid of me, and think I, Cao Chong, can be bullied?
"The Huang family is indeed a bit too much. Since he is so arrogant, we really want to teach him a lesson, otherwise how can we convince the public?"
Zhou Buyi nodded, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
He walked close to Cao Chong and whispered in Cao Chong's ear: "Cang Shu, the Huang family's affairs are not in a hurry, especially now that the situation is like this, we have to wait until the waves calm before we can attack the Huang family."
Cao Chong agreed with Zhou Buyi's words.
Just when Cao Chong was about to speak, Zhou Buyi spoke first before Cao Chong.
"Cang Shu, follow me, I'll take you to see the good things from this aristocratic family."
Cao Chong did not pay much attention to these jewelry and wealth, but Cao Chong followed Zhou Buyi to a yard in the outer courtyard.
Cao Chong was originally in a state of no mood, but when he arrived in the yard and saw the scene inside, his mouth suddenly opened wide.
Actually...
Chapter completed!
