I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 792, retirement

To say that the number one hot topic in Jidu now is naturally the matter of Xu Hao's marriage, and many families are envious and jealous of the Cui family.

The second hot spot is Niu Gui's retirement and the appointment of a new prime minister. Even in terms of durability, this hot spot is even stronger, and the people of Jidu have been discussing it for more than half a year.

After all, it is the appointment of the prime minister of a country, especially the prime minister of Dagan, who has a high position and authority. In these years, he has almost ignored the affairs of the court, and the entire court is presided over by Niu Gui. Under such circumstances, the prestige of the prime minister Niu Gui is even greater. Yes, it is true that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Cui Yan is very concerned about this matter, because now all the Cui family forces have been tested by Niu Gui for support, and Niu Gui's retirement will hit the Cui family the hardest.

Back then, the noble families in Hebei were the first group of clans to be hit by Xu Wei, and the Cui family, who was the number one clan in Hebei, was hit the hardest. In all parts of the world, the Cui family now has branches in Izumo, Nanzhong, Nanhai, and even Tianzhu.

The Cui family that stayed in Daqian is even a side branch, but because of the unexpected support of Niu Gui, their side branch surpassed the main line and became the new main family of the Cui family, which even got support from branches of the Cui family in other regions. I agree that there is this kind of relationship. The Cui family in Dagan has contacted the power of the Cui family in other places to form a powerful business network.

Relying on this business network, coupled with the rapid expansion of the industrial scale, the wealth of the Cui family has increased rapidly in recent years. In terms of wealth alone, the wealth accumulated by the Cui family in the past ten years has surpassed the accumulated wealth of the Cui family for hundreds of years. , if the Cui family's political influence has not been restored, he can completely say that the Cui family has been revived by him.

But Cui Yan clearly understands that the growth of a family cannot be based on wealth alone, and the current strength of the Cui family is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty.

Now the Cui family who is doing great work is the vines attached to Niugui. The big tree of Niugui will fall. How can these vines be better off? Fortunately, the vines have found Xu Hao, a more powerful sapling. Find a new backer,
But Niu Gui said: "Father-in-law, I have been the prime minister for more than ten years, and I am the longest-serving prime minister in Dagan. This time is enough. In the past dynasties, the powerful and long-serving prime ministers like my son-in-law are also There are not many of them, if my son-in-law stays any longer, I am afraid that many of my older brothers will have opinions, and retreating bravely now may not be a good thing."

Of course, Xu Wei asked his son to go out to buy a house, but it was a habit brought by him in later generations. If future generations want to get married, they must have a new house!
How could Cui Yan dare to refuse Xu Wei's proposal, Xu Wei is the existence of the Great Demon King to them, even though they have become in-laws now, they are still trembling in the face of Xu Wei.Hearing Xu Wei's words, he immediately said, "It's good that you agree with the ruling, our family has no objection!"

The next day!

In order to smash the clans in the countryside, the imperial court used the land equalization method to disperse all the big clans. The big clans in the past were completely disintegrated under the guidance of the big cadre policy.

And his Cui family has Niu Gui and Xu Hao's two layers of relationship, so it may not be impossible to become a relative of the Daqian Dynasty, and it does not need to be much less powerful than the powerful clan.For the current Cui family, it only needs time to recuperate. When the new generation grows up, the power of the Cui family will soon be restored.

At the same time, Dagan is now in the past when the farming period is transitioning to the industrial period. The older generation is still in the farming society and somewhat resists the industrial society, while the younger generation now embraces industrial life. There is a generation gap between them and the older generation. They are also unwilling to accept the experience and teachings of the older generation, so they prefer to buy a house and live by themselves, and this change is especially obvious in Jidu.

Zhang Ning immediately said: "We still have to sell the house!" But she thought that it seemed too late to sell the house now, so she said, "How much is this house? We will sell it!"

"And I stepped down, but it doesn't mean I have no influence. The ruling asked me to take over Yihe as the speaker. At the same time, I was required to formalize the parliament and expand the size of the state council, county council, and county council. In the future, local governments will have these local councils. Supervise them to govern. From this aspect, the rights of the son-in-law have not declined much!"

But he thought for a while and said: "Our Cui family has real estate in Ji, and Taohua Manor has a mansion, nine into the courtyard, and now time is tight, why don't we let them live in first?"

Because in Jidu, even if one person works part-time, he can support his family. Double-income families can live well. In this case, everyone no longer needs the protection of a family to live on. The economy and environment support them to live independently. Young people People naturally don't want to have too many uncles, aunts, and parents-in-law on their heads.

This is also because the living pattern of the people in this era has undergone great changes. The working class in the city left their families and came to live in the city as a single-family life that must buy a house. This is somewhat later. What city life looks like now.

This kind of small family model is most beneficial to the Dagan court, so the Dagan court is also promoting this model intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Wei was the first to speak and said: "The two juniors have taken a fancy to each other, and the elders of both sides do not object to this marriage, so this marriage is settled like this. We elders mainly need to solve the worries of the younger generation. Now Jidu no longer pays attention to several generations living under the same roof, and the juniors also like to close the door to live their own lives. I think so. We will buy them a house in Jidu, and you will marry a set of living furniture. They form a small family and live by themselves.

Niu Gui brought Cui Yan and others to Xu Wei's home, and the parents of both parties discussed the engagement of Xu Hao and Cui Ying together.

Cui Yan felt relieved when he heard this. Although the power of the speaker is not as good as that of the prime minister, this is not a complete retreat, so there is no need to worry about people leaving the tea.

Although Xu Wei's ruling power is greater than most emperors, his eternal wealth is far less than that of the emperors of all dynasties. The emperors of the Han Dynasty had Shaofu as their own small treasury, but Xu Wei did not.

Of course, Xu Wei has a lot of wealth. When rewarding heroes, Xu Wei was ranked first. Every year, the imperial court gave Xu Wei 300 million hero commissions, and Zhang Ning also received 55 hero commissions every year. It costs almost nothing, and the accumulated money is tens of millions. It is enough to buy a house, even if it is a courtyard house.

But Xu Hao was dissatisfied and said: "My child has also saved some money over the years, and I can pay for the house myself!"

Of course, he also knew that the Jiujin Siheyuan was not something he could afford now, so he said again: "I'm going to the New World soon, buying a house now is a waste, the house should be bought after the child comes back!"
