If a person is really so courteous and corporal to everyone, then most of them are pretending, just like Liu Bei.
On the surface, they are treating you with courtesy, but in their hearts they don't necessarily value you.
What he showed was nothing more than praise for himself, not from his heart.
Besides, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao played tricks when they saw him.
Smarter than Xu Ding, how could he not know, so he wouldn't praise them too much.
In the family of merchants, there is always a little bit of silliness, who calculates the accounts clearly.
It was just that Xu Ding would take the opportunity to repay their kindness and pretend to swallow their Zhen family.
To be honest, Xu Ding didn't care much about the Zhen family's wealth.
He didn't know how much money the Zhen family had, and he wasn't very interested. After all, for him, there were many ways to gather money.
Weiyuan Island alone has a large number of copper mines, which can be mined for a large amount of five-plant coins.
However, he does not mine coins in large quantities now, but circulates a small amount of them in a controlled manner.
Most of the copper was used to make the equipment and mechanical parts related to the steam engine.
That's right, Weiyuan Island has been researching steam engines, but the progress is very slow. Xu Ding doesn't have much knowledge in this area, and needs to be studied by the blacksmiths himself. He is just a guiding light to correct mistakes.
Entering the hall, Xu Ding took the main seat, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were on the left seat, Mu Chen and Shen Sheng were on the right seat.
When Xu Ding asked about the history of the battle, Mu Chen and Shen Sheng were the ones talking most of the time, and he asked Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao a few words from time to time.
Xu Ding quickly learned the general process of the matter, and generally speaking, they chatted fairly harmoniously.
Soon Wang Yue and Ji Chen came in.
After sitting down, the banquet began, and the Zhen family slaughtered chickens, sheep, wine and meat to entertain them.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Ding raised his glass and said, "Cheers to Wuji County for escaping a military disaster!"
Everyone toasted and drank.
Then Xu Ding said: "I also understand what the three of you mean. Your hearts haven't settled down yet, and you still want to continue to travel mountains and rivers to meet heroes. You all have your own ideals. I envy you for this, so I am very happy about this matter." Promised, you pick a good day within three days, and get married together, when I leave, I will bring your beautiful wife back to Donglai, just to relieve Yan'er, Linglong and the others. Go after it!"
"Thank you, Junhou!" Mu Chen, Shen Sheng, and Ji Chen attended and bowed solemnly.
To be honest, they were afraid that Xu Ding would scold them.
It's absurd to put this matter on someone else's body for a while, but my wife ran out to wander around when she was left at home.
But Xu Ding is not their lord and their elders, so naturally he won't be too idle to teach them a lesson.
Instead, he looked at the Zhen brothers with interest.
His own brother didn't jump out, so he couldn't say anything against it.
After the banquet was over, Xu Ding, Wang Yue and others left Zhen's mansion and directly occupied the county government office and barracks, and drove the county magistrate to the county lieutenant's house to live.
Xu Ding and the others left, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao said: "Three brothers-in-law, you really want to send my sisters to Donglai, can you really rest assured?"
Chapter 263
It's not that the two brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao treat the belly of a gentleman as a villain. The five younger sisters in their own family are all as beautiful as flowers, and they are famous beauties within a hundred miles. have figure.
If it weren't for being forced by the county magistrate and others because of the urgency of the matter, how could they be willing to let the three younger sisters commit themselves to the three of them.
This Marquis of Weihai is so young, it's hard not to be attracted by his own sister. Mu Chen, Shen Sheng, and Ji Chen went out and didn't return, so Xu Ding took care of him. Isn't this a gift?
In case Wei Haihou couldn't hold back...
Anyway, this matter was spread between the two of them, and they both felt that they couldn't help it.
"Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. Marquis Weihai's wife is famously virtuous, especially his wife is a talented woman in the world. I can learn a lot by going there. In the future, after we have traveled the world, we will also go to Marquis Weihai's place." There is nothing to worry about when doing things." Ji Chen didn't know the filth in the hearts of the two brothers Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, so he said without hiding it.
He had the intention of voting for Xu Ding when he went to the hero building, and his mentor Wang Yue also went to Xu Ding's side. In the future, he will definitely return to Xu Ding's work, whether he is a general or sits in the hero building, there must be one of his positions.
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao looked at each other, and thought to themselves, it turned out that Ji Chen had planned to join Xu Ding after the scriptures, and he couldn't stay anymore.
Originally, the two of them wanted to rely on the wealth of the Zhen family to find a family background for the three of them, whether they were generals or officials in Jizhou, to provide protection for the Zhen family.
Now that they knew Ji Chen's plan, the two of them had to think again.
"On the contrary, the two elder brothers, have you considered it? It's not safe to stay in Zhongshan, so you may wish to move to Donglai!" Ji Chen asked back.
Zhen Yan said: "I have to discuss this with my mother. The Zhen family has a lot of things, and many things are not what we want."
The Zhen family's relationship network and shop fields are all in Zhongshan and Jizhou, how can they have such a happy time with Mu Chen, Shen Sheng, and Ji Chen, and leave as soon as they say it.
"The elder brother should discuss it carefully with his mother-in-law. After three days, the prince will leave. Zhang Baiqi died in Wuji County today. Liu Bei will not stop there. There will be revenge. Even if the elder brother does not go to Donglai We can't wait for Zhongshan, but Jizhou is in chaos right now, Yuan Shao just won Jizhou, and he will have to fight with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, the war in Jizhou has just begun, and it may be difficult to calm down in a short time."
"We will think about it carefully!" Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao replied perfunctorily.
The day of marriage was chosen two days later.
On this day, Xu Ding and others were the man's side, and Wang Yue presided over the marriage of Mu Chen, Shen Sheng, and Ji Chen for their elders.
The three bridegroom officials set off from the county government on horseback, and went to Zhen's house to pick up the bride together.
The three brides went out at the same time, the eldest Zhen Jiang was in the middle, and the two younger sisters Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were on the left and right.
The three of them took the bride back, all the rituals were not missing in the wedding ceremony, and finally sent to the bridal chamber.
After the banquet, the grooms went to their new houses, and all the guests left.
Only Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao did not leave, they used Jiu Jin to have the courage to talk to Xu Ding alone.
"Junhou, I heard that you have always had unique views and unparalleled strategies. Today, you have the courage to ask Junhou for advice. Where is the way out for my big man as a businessman?"
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao didn't dare to say where the future of their Zhen family was, so they tried to test Xu Ding under the banner of the world's merchants.
Look at his attitude towards businessmen before making the final choice.
"The way out!" Xu Ding looked at the two of them while pinching the wine glass, and then drank it down: "You know? A great man once said that mountains will fall if you rely on them, and water will flow if you rely on them. Only when you are strong can you be truly strong." , the way out for a businessman is of course to become stronger."
This is as simple as it sounds.
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao looked at each other and pondered for a while, and Zhen Yan asked again: "Your Majesty, how can a businessman strengthen himself?"
"Heh! Merchants are of course doing their part well, doing what they should do, revitalizing trade, enriching the places they can manage, and digging out the money buried in the cellars of the major families. , everyone likes it...you should ask me..." Xu Ding poured himself another glass of wine, watched the two prick up their ears to listen, then drank it down and said:
"You should ask me, where can I make the businessman stronger!"
