Chapter 13-Zhongshan Zhen Family, A Rich Family! (New Book 6/7)
Zhuo County is only one place away from Zhongshan State.
If they rode fast, they would probably arrive in half a day.
Zhuo County was even closer to Zhongshan Wuji, which was where the Zhen family was located.
On the official road to Wuji, three people and three horses galloped, and dust flew behind them.
"Second brother, why are we going to the Zhen family?”
Zhang Fei, who was holding the 18-foot-long Snake Spear, followed beside Liu Yi.
"Hehe."
Chen Peng turned his head and smiled at Zhang Fei.""The Zhen family of Zhongshan is a very rich family. If you and I want to achieve great things, how can we not have money and food in our hands?”
"Money and food?"
Zhang Fei was stunned." Second Brother, didn't I already sell my assets? Why isn't it enough?"”
"Third brother."
Guan Yu, who was riding on a horse and holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, interrupted,"Third brother's family has a lot of wealth, but compared to the Zhen family of Zhongshan, it's just a drop in the ocean!”
"Oh?" Chen Peng raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Yu.""Big brother also knows about the Zhen family in Zhongshan?"
Guan Yu nodded." When I went to Zhuo County to seek refuge in the early years, I was a guard for the Zhen family's caravan for a period of time. Later on, I came to Zhuo County and stayed there.”
"The Zhen family is extremely wealthy and is second to none in the Zhongshan Kingdom. Even in Jizhou, they are ranked among the top!”Guan Yu said.
"Big Brother said that it's not bad, so we have to look for them to get sponsors!”
Chen Peng said with a smile.
It was just that his method of getting sponsors was a little strange.
This time, he was not only going to get sponsors, but also to tie the Zhen family to his chariot.
As for how to tie him up, of course, he would use the marriage contract in his arms.
In the early years, Yuan Shao had been sponsored by the Zhen family after obtaining Jizhou.
That was why Yuan Xi married Zhen Mi.
But this time, he had to strike first to gain the upper hand. This could also be considered as cutting off Yuan Shao's Hu.
Haha!
Thinking of this, Chen Peng suddenly felt that this interception system was a little interesting.
...........
There was a huge manor five miles outside Wuji County.
Actually, it was more like a castle than a manor.
Moreover, this huge manor was not inferior to Wuji County.
It was even worse.
The manor was surrounded by rammed earth walls that were about four meters high.
There were also many armored guards standing on the city wall, holding sabers in their hands.
These were the private soldiers raised by the local tyrants.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country was in chaos. There were many local tyrants and factions.
The loss of population was huge.
Most of these people had been hidden in their own manors by the local tyrants and became their subordinates.
Their land was also annexed.
The Zhen family of Zhongshan was a local tyrant.
However, the Zhen family was no longer just a powerful family in Wuji County.
For example, Zhang Fei could be considered a powerful person in a county.
The Zhen family of Zhongshan was already a powerful family in Zhongshan.
If it wasn't for the low status of the merchants, the Zhen family might not be just that.
The huge manor occupied a large area and had thick walls. There were more than a thousand private soldiers in the manor alone.
There were as many as 10,000 people who farmed for the Zhen family.
Other than that, the Zhen family also had caravans. These caravans did not only do some legitimate business, but also some smuggling work.
For example, selling salt and iron.
Apart from that, the Zhen Clan also had countless shops in Jizhou.
Of course, this wasn't a family fortune that could be earned in a generation.
The Zhen family was famous during the Western Han Dynasty.
However, things had changed with the passage of time.
Zhen Mi's father, Zhen Yi, had once served as the magistrate of Shangcai, but he had resigned and was now running a business at home.
Zhen Yi was not good at being an official, but he was good at doing business. This also allowed the Zhen family's business to flourish.
The only regret was that he had fallen from an official family to a merchant family. This made Zhen Yi feel a little sorry for his ancestors.
In this era, the status of merchants was so low that one could only understand it when they were there.
Today, the Zhen Manor was very noisy.
In the morning, more than a dozen carriages came from afar to the Zhen family's manor.
The people who got out of the cars were all famous doctors with medicine boxes in their hands.
As for the reason…
Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, fell ill.
Moreover, he seemed to have contracted a strange illness.
Apart from the doctor, Zhen Yi's room was tightly sealed.
Outside the room of Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, a doctor walked out and removed the cloth covering his mouth and nose.
Zhen Yi's wife, Zhang Shi, saw the doctor walking out and hurried forward.
"How is my husband?" Zhang shi asked with concern.
The doctor who came out looked extremely solemn.
"Furen should quickly write it down and deal with it. What you and husband have is the sores of prisoners. If you don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the entire Zhen family!”
"What?!"
All the doctors around were shocked.
After a series of gasps, everyone took a few steps back.
"Captured sores!"
Zhen Yi's wife, Zhang Shi, was also shocked, and her face turned pale.
