Country and Beauty

Huicheng County Gu family was not only famous in the Huicheng County, they were very famous in the whole of Jiangnan as well. Everyone in Jiangnan knew about it. Clothes, food, and travel, clothes came first. Almost all of the best silks came from the Gu family, and they also had their nickname in the Luoyang. Even a large portion of the Imperial Palace's clothes were made from the Gu family's silks. Right now, the head of the Gu family was Gu Yan. He was in charge of all the economic networks of the Gu family and had a very high reputation in the Huicheng County.

The second largest family in Huicheng County was the Lu family, Lu Xun. He was the commander of the Fire Liu Ear 800 miles long company. He was a famous military expert in the later stages of the Three Kingdoms. He was a rare talent, but ever since the Tung Wu was destroyed, Lu Li seemed to have left the political scene. Right now, the Lu family was a genuine grain merchant, if one did not ask about politics, they were a large grain merchant in Jiangnan. The Lu family's Patriarch was currently Lu Jun, and they also had his branch name in Luoyang. If there is food, there is soldiers. If there is soldiers, there is power. The Lu family was more of an image of Xie Fei that had to be gathered.

Zhu Clan of the three great clans. The head of the family was Zhu Ruquan, the Zhu family dealt in oil, similar to the oil of later generations, all the oil used in Jiangnan was run by the Zhu family, such as tung oil, vegetable oil, and arrogantly burning oil. However, the Zhu Family also managed restaurants and brothels, and in terms of power, the Zhu Family was probably the last of the three great families in Jiangnan, but their financial resources were the sum of the wealth of the other two great families. No matter how many cities there were in Jiangnan, there would be as many restaurants and brothels belonging to the Zhu Family. The Zhu Family and other families had a close relationship, because whether it was transportation of grain or silk, they needed someone to protect them. The Zhu Family's property, on the other hand, had an escort company that provided protection for all merchants. Thus, whether it was by road or by water, when they saw the Zhu Family's flagship caravan, the bandits would usually not rob them. If they were to fight with the Zhu Family, the Zhu Family would retaliate without a care for anything else, and they would not rest until they were dead. In addition, the Zhu Family also had people in the imperial court. According to the folklore, Sima Chi's concubine was a direct descendant of the Zhu Family.

In addition to these three great families, there were two other powerful warriors, the Sun family and the Wang family. The skinny camel was bigger than a horse. His foundation was quite deep. One must know that Xie Fei was Sima Chi's future son-in-law, while the Jiangdong's Sun family was the enmity of the Sima's disease. If Xie Fei invited the Sun family members out at this critical juncture, it would be hard to avoid a few people with ulterior motives taking the opportunity to make a move. Use this as an excuse to show off. Xie Fei himself wanted to invite people who could do business with him, but he was not one of those officials.

The Wang Family was actually the creator of "Wang Sima, The World's Under Heaven". The Director Wang was the Prime Minister of the East Jin, ruled from the middle, and held the military power from outside with his cousin. "The king and the horse share the world!"

of the world. The three emperors were Richie Yuan, Ming and Cheng. The Wang family even has familiar calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi and Wang Zhu. Wang Rong was one of the seven sages of Bamboo Forest. Emperor Huidi to Shang Shu Ling, Situ, Lang Xie Wang family is the most famous family in the East Jin period. The Tang Dynasty Liu Yuxi's Black Cloth Lane Poetry: In the old days, the King Xie Tang antecedent flew into the house of ordinary people. They were referring to the noble families of the Wang and Xie Clan.

The Xie Clan of Chen County had not truly risen to prominence yet, and the Xie Clan had even more talented people. Xie An, who had risen up once again in the East Mountain, the famous general Xie Xuan, the governor of the East Jin Dynasty Xie Shi, the general of the auxiliary countries Xie Yan, the talented daughter Xie Daojian (Wang Xizhi's daughter-in-law), and the mountain poet Xie Lingyun.

Xie Fei also knew that the Xie Clan in the Chen County had not risen to prominence yet. Xie An's father, Xie Pou (282-346), was known as Young Confucius. Wife Sun, Zhou, Jiao, Zhang, Gu, Wang. He was an official of the Shisui Estate of Wang Sima in Jinlang Darkya. He had joined the army and transferred to the county governor. In 322, he had risen to the position of Emperor in the first year of Yongchang. The Chen County Schell's Family was one of the famous aristocratic families that followed the Yuan Emperor into the chaos of Yongjia City. Xie An's uncle, Xie Kun, had once joined the army of the General's Estate in the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, which was known as the Wang Sima Yue of the East Sea. After crossing the river, he died in the hands of the Yu Zhang taiwai. In the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An's father, Xie Pou, was an official to the Chief Emissary. The status of Schell's s continued to rise due to the performance of the Kun and Chi brothers, but the one who truly brought about the clan's glory was Xie An. We should be familiar with the situation during the Great War of Water. When the people of East Jin heard this news, the entire country was shocked and terrified. Xie An suggested that the Xiao Wu Emperor order his younger brother, Xie Shi, to be transferred from Shang Shu to the Great Master of Imperial Guards. Xie Xuan would serve as the forward general and Xie Yan (son of Xie An) as the general. Their main force was under Xie Xuan's command and training of the Northern Courtyard soldiers. Xie An defeated a total of 1.12 million soldiers of the previous Qin Huai with his eighty thousand disadvantage. He ordered his younger brother to ride 250 thousand men at a steady pace to point to Huainan; to use Yao Huan, a member of the Qiangqi tribe, as a general, to supervise the army and to follow the flow east; and to march southward from Changan over 600,000 infantry units and 270 thousand cavalry units, stretching back and forth for thousands of miles.)

Xie Fei had actually already prepared for several days for this banquet, because not all of the famous families had their families located in Huicheng County City. They were distributed in all the counties and towns around Huicheng County, and it would take a few days to get all of them here. For example, the Lu family was located three to four hundred kilometers east of Huicheng County, in Songjiang County. The other families of Scholars were also spread out around Wu Cheng, Qian Tang, and Via Tomb. They had invited a total of more than twenty patriarchs from various families.

However, in order to please Xie Fei, he had specially called out dozens of beautiful Southern River beauties from the brothels. The officials and courtesans were all children, wives and concubines of officials who had committed crimes against their families, and all of them were beautiful women. What was different from other brothels were that these beautiful women were all talented and good-looking, and at this moment, as the sky darkened, Xie Fei's mansion hall was already brightly lit up by the lanterns. The patriarchs of the famous families and families that Xie Fei had invited were all present. Although everyone didn't know why Xie Fei had invited them, they were a little worried and looked forward to seeing him. It turned out that Xie Fei was the new aristocrat, a general who held a large army, a government official, all the patriarchs of famous clans were intelligent people, although they did not know the purpose of Xie Fei inviting them, but to be able to get along with Xie Fei was a good choice. So they all went to the meeting happily.

Just as Xie Fei and Liu Shang were about to announce the start of the banquet, a doorman came to report: "Lang Xie, Wang Sima Rui has arrived!"

Hearing that, Xie Fei arrived uninvited, and didn't know what kind of medicine the Eastern Jin Emperor was selling, but, Xie Fei did not dare drag things out, since this was definitely Sima Rui's territory, Xie Fei and Liu Shang quickly came out to receive him. The Patriarchs of the famous families in Jiang-Nan naturally did not dare sit quietly in the hall as they followed Xie Fei out to greet them.

When Xie Fei came to the door, he saw a group of people. In front of this group was an old man who was around fifty years old, he had a long beard, his eyes were filled with spirit, and there was appreciation in his gaze when he looked at Xie Fei. Although Xie Fei saw that he was dressed like a scholar, his body did not look like one. However, looking at the attitude of the crowd towards him, Xie Fei guessed that he was probably the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lang Xie and Wang Sima Rui. Xie Fei knew that although this person was talking and laughing, he would become an emperor in the future. He didn't know whether or not this person would ascend to the throne after he came. Xie Fei immediately cupped his hands towards Sima Rui and said sweetly: "This general greets Your Highness, if I am unable to welcome you in time, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

When Sima Rui saw Xie Fei, he had a very good impression of him, "Hehe, a hero indeed comes from a young man, a pillar of our nation. Not only will the general pacify the rebellion in the north and ensure the peace of our Da Jin, we will also have to trouble Master to explore the south and pacify the water squid. This is the fortune of our Da Jin.

It had to be said that Sima Rui knew how to judge the situation. He had humbled himself to come to Xie Fei with a low attitude, this was more than enough to give him face. If Xie Fei was not a descendant, he would definitely be moved to a complete mess. However, Xie Fei's heart did not waver. Sima Rui pointed to a handsome and elegant scholar beside him and said: "This is this Wang Sima's Director Wang!" He pointed to another well-built man and said: "This is Yang Prefecture's thorny history, Wang Dun!"

"What?" Xie Fei was surprised for a moment, while bowing and greeting the two of them, he thought to himself that he had been surprised to see Sima Rui, but he did not expect that these two brilliant talents of the Wang Family would actually be him, Director Wang, who was born in the Central Plains and was an experienced statesman, and was the actual creator of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Yuan Emperor had always lacked talent and prestige, and he was not a very popular person in the Jin Hall. The main reason why he could obtain the throne was because of the support of the Director Wang. Because of this, the Yuan Emperor compared the Director Wang to his "Xiao He", and relied extremely heavily on him. Wang Dun married Princess Xiang Cheng, daughter of the Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan. He and Director Wang, one warrior and one character, established the foundation of the East Jin. later Wang Dun added

In ancient times, when Shi Chong treated his guests to wine, he would often ask the beautiful woman to pour wine for him. If the guests did not drink, he let the guards kill the beauty. Prime Minister Director Wang and General Wang Dun went to Shi Chong's house for a banquet together. Director Wang never drank alcohol, but he was afraid that Shi Chong would kill people, so when the beautiful woman drank wine, he could only barely drink. Wang Dun, however, did not buy it. He could have drank wine, but he stubbornly refused to drink. In the end, Shi Chong killed three beauties, but he still refused to drink. The Director Wang scolded Wang Dun, and Wang Dun said: "What does him killing his own people have to do with you!"

At this time, he was in his forties and gave off a very upright and upright feeling, like a very strict elder brother. He came over to Xie Fei and bowed: "This humble one is Xie Pou, and greets General Xie!"

If Xie Fei remembered correctly, this person was the father that all the people in the world were looking at Xie An for.

Xie Fei did not bother with formalities too much with Sima Rui and the rest, following that, Xie Fei led Sima Ying to the top position of the Rui banquet. In truth, Xie Fei did not want to be too serious in such a banquet, since it was actually a gathering for Xie Fei. And with all of the guests being introduced to them by Huicheng County, Xie Fei showed some courtesy. Then, he raised his cup and said to them, "Xie Fei wanted to gather with everyone since he had just arrived in Huicheng County. Therefore, Xie Fei specially prepared some wine tonight to invite everyone here. You are all local celebrities. The Patriarchs of the family were supposed to be visited by Xie Fei one by one. Come, let me toast everyone! "

Sima Rui lifted his wine cup, suddenly realizing that the wine cup in his hand was different from ordinary wine cups. Not only were wine cups different, even the plates used were different, these were all blue and white porcelain objects that he had never seen before. He also loved wine. Because he was born into a royal family, he also drank a lot of fine wine. However, he had never tasted such fine wine before. Sima Rui felt the wine in his mouth, the aroma of the wine spinning in his mouth. However, he never thought that such a pure and fragrant wine would be able to swallow it. When the fragrance lingered in her mouth, he realized that he hadn't even had the time to savor the good wine. Luckily, there was still more on the table.

"Haha …" We were fortunate enough to have such a fine wine. Thank you, General, for your hospitality! " Just then, all the patriarchs of the Scholars were flattering Xie Fei from the bottom of their hearts. Although Xie Fei did not go to visit all the famous families in Huicheng County, Xie Fei still had them send over two pots of pure wine of medium quality. So each of them had seen the wine.

Everyone seated around the table was enjoying their drinks. However, after three rounds of drinking, everyone unconsciously put down the wine cup in their hands. Because they all knew that there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky, and that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Right now, Xie Fei was treating them to good wine and food, so they would definitely have something he wanted to request for, whether or not they would be able to cut their own meat. Xie Fei did not want to waste time either, and directly said: "All of you are Patriarchs of famous families in Jiangnan, I have some matters to discuss with you guys that Xie Fei invited to come here today, to be more precise, to recruit business."

"Recruitment? We are all merchants and know that the Dao General is a place where tens of thousands of people live, where food is widely distributed. The General's current predicament, if it is a matter of food, my Lu family will sell it to the Lord as the capital, and I will do my part for all the refugees in the world. " Lu Jun looked refined and scholarly, but in reality, he was a grain merchant that was as refined as a ghost. Right now, the Lu family was no longer the Lu family from the three kingdoms. The Sun, Sun, and Lu were killed by the injustice. Lu Yun was also killed along with them. They were forty-two years old then. There were two girls and no men. At this point in time, the Lu Family's direct line of descent had already been wiped out. This Lu Jun was just a collateral branch of Lu Xun.

In truth, Xie Fei had never thought of taking action against the largest grain merchant in Jiangnan, so he did not think too much about the meaning behind his words. He only laughed and said: "Haha, then thank you very much, Mr. Lu. In fact, what I want to tell everyone is that I, Xie Fei, am not here to seek help from everyone. Although there are a lot of immigrants in Qingzhou, all of them have hands and feet. "They've done it!" Xie Fei said as he asked his men to prepare the white paper, the soap for washing their hands, and the glass for everyone to see.

Sima Rui and Director Wang looked at the white paper that was as white as snow, their eyes were straight, while Wang Dun ferociously poured in pure wine for a while.

In their era, how could they have seen such a world-class technological product? In an instant, everyone was talking about it.

Xie Fei waved his hand to calm them down: "That's why I'm here today mainly to engage in business cooperation with everyone. If you want a country or a region to prosper, then you must do a good job with their economy, just like our Cyan Plains. There are over four hundred thousand refugees living there, and there will be more in the future.

"Oh? Trade with your Qingzhou? " A lot of people revealed puzzled expressions, thinking, the Azure Province is just a place for refugees to live in, they are poor, what kind of deal can we make with them?

"That's right!" I hope that everyone here will be able to establish a trade relationship with the Azure Province. " When Xie Fei saw that they were still a little confused, he said clearly: "Things are valued only by rarity. Pure fragrant wine produced in Qingzhou, even Jiangnan doesn't have it, and blue and white porcelain ware Jiangnan also doesn't have it. Xuanyuan paper is a favorite of scholars and scholars, and famous scholars in Jiangnan would definitely like this kind of thing. When the goods and materials from our Qingzhou are transported to Jiangnan, it will to a certain extent prosper in the Jiangnan market. However, Qingzhou was lacking as well. Qingzhou was experienced with war and was in a state of chaos, so it was waiting for the day when everything went to waste. For example, Jiangnan's silk, grain, and hardworking Qingzhou commoners could quickly create more wealth. At that time, they will have the ability to purchase your goods and produce many different products to trade with you. "

Xie Fei told the Chen Family Patriarch, who was in charge of the wine business in the south, "Your family is mainly in charge of the wine business. Do you think that Xie Fei is the one who took over your wine sales market? "

Chen Zhonghe never expected that Xie Fei would call out his name to him and even ask such a sensitive question. His face was filled with an unnatural expression, and he laughed bitterly: "Thank you, Master. This... "I don't dare to say for sure, but there are a few effects. The main difference is that Sir Xie's wine area is definitely better than ours, and we have nothing to say about this. Fortunately, Sir Xie's wine doesn't seem to be much, so the temporary effects aren't too great."

"You're wrong." Xie Fei looked at Chen Zhonghe and said, "It's not that I don't have a lot of wine, but I'm afraid that selling too much at once would harm your interests. It would put you merchants in dire straits. Right now, there are thousands of merchant ships coming and going from Qingzhou to Jiangnan. We in Qingzhou produce 3,000 barrels of pure wine per month, (100 kilograms) medium 1000 barrels, and 800 barrels of top-grade wine. If we were to produce fully, our current output can be tripled! " Ah... Don't tell me that my lord still has a lot of pure wine? It's rare for you to think so much for the sake of our merchant, thank you so much for your loyalty! "

At this moment, Chen Zhonghe was rejoicing in his heart. What he thought was that if Xie Fei could produce this wine, it would fill up the streets and alleys. So who else would buy their wine? Thinking of this, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
