Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 518 There is a way

Chen Zhi saw that everyone had received the paper, and then smiled and said: "Everyone sees what they have, and they cannot exchange it with each other. Of course, after seeing the contents inside, you will not exchange it easily." He stood up and sorted it out. After taking off his clothes, he walked away without looking back.

Regarding Chen Zhi's departure, no one in the room had any reaction, because they all looked at the orders in their hands with different expressions.

Although their expressions were different, they were either solemn or sweating profusely. Even people like Tang Dian and Tang Zi looked different.

Their expressions lasted for a long time, with no intention of paying attention to other things, which made the atmosphere in the whole room become more solemn.

When everyone came back to their senses and looked at Chen Zhi, they realized that he had already left.

But now no one has the intention to talk to Chen Zhi again. Each of these people stood up in a hurry, looked at each other with wary expressions, and then said goodbye without any disrespect, and then left one after another.

They left in such a hurry that they attracted the attention of many people.

"Master, what happened to those big families?" On the other side of the street, the little book boy Chen Wu, who had already sat on the carriage, couldn't help but ask Chen Zhi, who was sitting next to him, "They are going to They’ve all gone back, they came here with great momentum, what exactly is written on the paper?”

Chen Zhi looked back at the book boy and said with a smile: "You want to know why they left, but do you know why these people came?" According to the rules, his book boy should not ride together, but as time goes by, Many people realized that Chen Zhi was training the scholar Chen Wu as his disciple and student. Of course, the treatment would be different.

Chen Wu thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe this group of people is because you have moved the Zheng family, making them feel unsafe. They feel sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox, but they are also afraid of the power of the master, so they can't move, so they will be together. Come..."

"What you said is right, and what you think is right, but that is a normal development path," Chen Zhi smiled and shook his head, "But one thing is wrong. The group of people who came here today did not want to be together. Not only did they not want to When we go together, we also want to avoid meeting other families as much as possible, and we want to be a few steps ahead of other families, so they show up together because I invited them."

"Master, you invited them here?" Chen Wu's eyes widened, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, "Then you gave each of them a list just now, did you invite them to come here just to give the list? What's on the list? What is it, so powerful? It frightened these people all at once, I heard that they are very powerful people in Dai County, which is equivalent to our family's status in Pengcheng. "

Chen Zhi nodded lightly and said: "They are indeed equivalent to the Chen family and Liu family in Pengcheng, but they are not in Pengcheng, so I can't let them go, so whether I invite them over or send them a list, it's all just The means, not the end, and their fears are not what I want."

Chen Wu asked curiously: "Then what do you want?"

"arrive."

Chen Zhi pointed to the outside of the car, which was the tavern used to entertain Luoyang guests. Chen Zhi got out of the car, turned around and smiled at Chen Wu: "What's the key here? It's not for you to learn. Give it to me yesterday." Let’s read some of your books first and do your homework.”

As he spoke, he got out of the carriage, straightened his clothes, and stepped into the tavern.

Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai came up to meet them, with smiles on their faces, admiration and kind words in their mouths.

Behind these two people was Luo Yang, who seemed less enthusiastic.

"You three, please come inside." Chen Zhi led the three of them in as a landlord.

Na Luo Yang looked back outside and said: "I didn't expect that the prefect came in a carriage. This frontier is really different. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, most of the rich families and officials came in ox carts. I didn't expect that this The rules here are different." The words were ordinary words, and the tone was also ordinary, but anyone could hear that there was actually a bit of provocation and provocation in the words.

This made Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai's hearts skip a beat, and they were secretly anxious.

With their status and background, no matter how much they respected Chen Zhi, they would not worry about offending him. However, this trip was ostensibly to visit Chen Zhi, but in fact it was for the Tongdian written by Chen Zhi.

Tongdian has gradually become a fashion around Luoyang and has a tendency to be popular all over the world. It also contains the wonders of metaphysics. In the foreseeable future, it may become another important force among scholars.

If you can get it in advance, study a little or two to get the secret, and spread it out in the future, which will naturally shape your demeanor.

Furthermore, if we can get explanations from Chen Zhi, the author of the book, we can even create opportunities.

In the final analysis, Chen Zhi lived in the frontier, and wrote the classics, which are popular all over the world. As long as he himself does not return to the middle land, then the authoritative interpretation of the classics is that other people will compete. Whoever gets the chance will gain fame. But everyone is happy in the family and career.

Of course, this is also because people in the aristocratic family feel that this book will be popular, but it will only be in the limelight for a while. When Chen Zhi leaves Northern Xinjiang and returns to China, this trend will pass.

Because of this, Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai were not willing to rush all the way here just to offend Chen Zhi.

But before the two could reconcile, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "This horse is a scarce resource. The imperial court had to go north to the outside of the Great Wall, so this horse became more and more important, especially after decades of war and the unification of Xuanwu." After the war between the North and the South, there was an acute shortage of war horses, so much so that it was particularly difficult for the royal family to select horses of the same coat color when traveling, let alone others. Therefore, scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic families used ox-carts instead, and over time it gradually became a common practice. It’s just that this frontier is different.”

Several people were talking as they walked. Zhang Jingsheng and Wang Kuai were certainly surprised when Chen Zhi said this. They both read a lot but had not paid attention to these details. Luo Yang was also quite surprised. He was already prejudiced. So even though I knew it was inappropriate, I still couldn't help but speak out after meeting. I was amazed by Chen Zhi's introduction, which was knowledgeable about the past and present.

"What's different about the border? I'd like to hear the details."

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Then, a handsome man wearing loose robes walked over from one side and saluted Chen Zhi.

But looking at this man's attire, Chen Zhi's expression moved slightly. Although it was different from what he remembered, the man in front of him was dressed similarly to Ge Hong——

He's wearing a robe!

This is a Taoist priest.

However, Chen Zhi did not ask about his origins. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and said: "There are many horses but few oxen in the frontier. Oxen are the basis of farming, and there are barbarians outside the Great Wall who invade and plunder, so they are more precious, but they cannot be used to pull carts. In contrast, there are more horses, and many of them were eliminated from the battlefield. The former governor did not manage well, and the horses were lost, and the noble families bought them and used them to pull carts."

　I'm back home, I'll make some corrections and resume updates.
