Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 140 The Zou Clan Association
"Patriarch, we have been targeted." When Zhang He was considering raising the second batch of war horses, the atmosphere in the Zou family became serious.

The clan elders took the lead, and those with a bit of status and prestige gathered in the ancestral hall, and then a clan elder spoke.

"Do you know who did it?" the patriarch asked, he was Zou's father.

"I found out that it was an order from the governor's yamen, ordering the officials of all counties and counties to manage merchants in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty. In addition, the prefect of Hanyang County also ordered that all counties should do so." The clan elder replied.

Not to mention that the Zou family has been in business for many years, and there is no doubt about their connections in Liangzhou. As far as this matter is concerned, just spend some money to inquire about it.

To say that this is normal due to the government order, let's just say that Liangzhou is in depression now.

But at this time, the counties also set up checkpoints privately to extort businessmen, and at the same time turned a blind eye to some illegal activities.

If things go on like this, it is not conducive to the recovery of Liangzhou.

Under this major premise, it is required to cancel the checkpoints in various places, and not to pay taxes on merchants other than the statutory one.

He also gave a time limit for rectification within one month, otherwise, once it is verified, it will be reported to the imperial court.

To talk about this kind of thing, it was originally the default thing for the states and counties.

Especially for those who buy officials to take office, how can they recover the cost otherwise?

As far as officials from aristocratic families are concerned, it may be better, after all, they are not short of money.

Naturally, Liu Bei's decree was also recognized by them.

It's just that the real reason is not so lofty, probably because I can't make money for raising my name, but I don't want to make money for others...

"Why did Liu Shijun target us?" the patriarch asked.

"There is no sign, but Mr. Zhang has a reason." The clan elder looked at the clan leader, "He took a fancy to Yu'er and planned to take him as a concubine. Speaking of which, it was Yu'er who took the initiative to provoke him."

"Yu'er, what's going on?" The patriarch looked at Zou Yu.

Generally speaking, this race would make it impossible for her to participate.

But Zou Yu has doubled the family business in the past three years, which is why she can participate.

Merchant families value practical interests more than men are superior to women.

Zou Yu brings benefits to the family, so she is eligible to join the clan association.

"21 years old, multi-talented, celebrity, prefect, brother-in-law of the governor... all together, isn't he better than Zian (Zhang Ji's name)?" Zou Yu replied.

"Don't you know that he is already married?" the patriarch asked.

Zou Yu canceled Zhang Ji's engagement, and he knew about it.

I asked about it at that time, and only said that Zhang Ji voted for Dong Zhuo, and the Zhang family was afraid that they would lose their security at the end of the festival.

Zhang Ji is not particularly good, Yunwen Yunwu, but neither is particularly brilliant.

Coupled with the cancellation of the engagement, the patriarch acquiesced.

But never thought that Zou Yu canceled the engagement to pester Zhang He.

"It's more valuable to be a concubine for a promising person, not a wife for a farmer?" Zou Yu replied.

"Then why did he target the Zou family?" the clan elder asked.

There is no target on the surface, but the fact that things can be done according to the law will first of all give other merchants suppressed by the Zou a chance to raise their heads.

At the same time, the only merchant affected was the Zou family.

The governor didn't say it clearly, but the intention to suppress the Zou family was obvious.

There are already many families who have come to understand, and began to look at it.

Just wait for the Zou family to weaken, and then attack them together.

Just like a whale fall, it is the fall of a behemoth that can feed other marine life.

I didn't dare before, because the Zou family was protected by the Zhang family, and now Dong Zhuo is under the banner.

No one takes the lead, everyone has scruples.

Until he suddenly realized that someone was going to punish Zou's family, he naturally started to move around, for fear that he would not be able to eat later.

In terms of the situation in Liangzhou in the past few years, it is difficult to survive honestly, not to mention that the Zou family is so fat!
"I told him that if he doesn't marry me, at least he has to wait until he becomes the governor." Zou Yu replied.

She didn't expect that Zhang He would be so bold.

Knowing that Dong Zhuo is behind the Zou family, and Dong Zhuo now has a large army in his hands, which can determine whether Liangzhou's suppression of the rebellion is successful or not.

Under such circumstances, anyone who dares to attack the Zou family is either confident or an idiot.

It's just that Zhang He couldn't be an idiot, so his decisiveness really made Zou Yu like him.

Capable and strong men can make women submit naturally.

In layman's terms, if you are handsome enough, you can make women yield two to three points.

If you have more money, you can make women submit seven points.

If you were a little bit stronger, most women would choose to submit.

Those who are ugly, have no money and plan to be strong, the only treatment is to be dealt with by the police.

If not, besides meeting true love, the deduction may also be due to aesthetic problems.

Zou Yu is a very active woman, and she is also an existence that is out of tune with this era and deviant.

Perhaps because she was born in a merchant family, she was taught the law of the jungle since she was a child.

"You are trying to provoke the relationship between him and the envoy!" The patriarch was shocked.

Speaking of this, people might think that the Zou family plotted against them, so it is understandable to fight back like this.

"As far as the actual situation in each place is concerned, the governor actually controls the political power of a state, but according to the Han law, the governor only supervises the prefects of the counties. Therefore, there are more cases where the governor is transferred to be the governor, but there are fewer cases where the governor is transferred to the governor." Zou Yu shook his head.

Unless it is a remote county, he will be transferred to an important state in the Central Plains as the governor.

It is normal for Zhang He, the prefect of Hanyang, to be transferred to the governor of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou or Xuzhou in the future.

At most two or three years, if it works properly, it will naturally be transferred to the governor, and then he will perform the contract by himself.

But in the past two or three years, isn't it normal to use the ambiguous relationship to maximize the benefits for Zou?
"Don't count on the governor, he probably has no chance to be transferred to the governor." The patriarch shook his head, "You have paid too much attention to him recently, but you don't know that Luoyang has restored the state pastoral system."

"What?" Zou Yu really didn't expect that she had been planning to separate from the Zhang family during this time.

This process must be very careful, so that it cannot be discovered by others, and it cannot be disgusted by the Zhang family.

Such meticulous work requires her to do it herself, and she has no time to pay attention to other things.

The main reason is that the marriage contract with Zhang Ji has been cancelled, and the joint relationship between the Zhang family and the Zou family is already very weak.

It may even become a drag on Zou at some point, so the division is an inevitable result.

At present, there is still Dong Zhuo's relationship that can be relied on. As long as he intends to go further, he cannot do without the help of Zou Shi.

Within three years, if Zhang He is willing, Zou is even willing to help him go further.

The future that has been well planned, why has it changed so much recently?
"Yu'er, you have to be clear about one thing. A truly capable man will never be willing to be manipulated." The patriarch looked at his daughter, "They will take the initiative to conquer, conquer everything they want! "

After a pause, he continued: "Now I'm asking you, not to marry, but to be a concubine, are you willing?"

"I...of course I would..." Zou Yu pouted.

Somewhat dissatisfied, she originally planned to fully demonstrate her ability and convince Zhang He before agreeing to become her concubine.

Only in this way can she have more power to speak and autonomy.

Let her be like an ordinary woman, who is obedient to men, but still somewhat resistant.

Maybe it's because she now has experienced power and the taste of gaining power, so she can't be content with mediocrity.

"Since this is the case, send someone over to talk to the Fujun, and don't regret it until it is irreparable." The patriarch immediately stated his position.

　In my setting, Zou Yu is a strong and active woman who is somewhat out of tune with this era.At the same time, because they are merchants, they will pursue the maximization of profits.

　　In his opinion, compared with Zhang Ji, Zhang He is more rare to live in, so he resolutely gave up Zhang Ji.

　　It doesn't matter to concubines, as long as she has irreplaceable value, then Zhang He must pamper her and respect her.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
