Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 930: Dai Jun’s family is eager to cling to

When Chen Zhi gave the order and urged the carriages and horses to speed up, at his destination, Daijun Daixian, there was also a group of people who could not sleep at night, waiting for his arrival.

"We must be prepared in these two days. The general may come back at any time. We, the Tang family, must seize the opportunity to surpass other families so that we can truly secure our position as the general's confidant!"

Still in the room where the Tang family often discussed matters, Tang Taigong looked at the Tang family disciples in front of him and warned them earnestly and in a stern tone.

Opposite him, all the people of the Tang family were as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their eyes were full of perseverance, just like the brave soldiers at the swearing-in meeting, the benevolence, justice, wisdom and courage in their hearts were mobilized, and they were about to fight on the battlefield to fulfill the righteousness!
However, of course, few people from aristocratic families really want to gain fame and wealth on the battlefield, because their battlefield is based on the inheritance of the family and the power of the clansmen.

"Looking at your looks, it's obvious that you know what the key is at the moment." Glancing at the many juniors, Tang Taigong nodded, and then said seriously: "This time the two sides are fighting, whether it is in the city, outside the city, or I Those old friends are actually optimistic about Wang Jun. Although our Tang family has prepared in advance, because there are too many involved, we have to side with the general. Now it seems that it is appropriate for our Tang family to prosper! General Tianzong A prodigy who has achieved a complete victory in a short period of time, and now that Youzhou is in hand, it is also an opportunity for my Tang family!"

People from the Tang family on the opposite side all agreed, saying that this was indeed the best opportunity.

"Youzhou is vast, especially in the east, where there is a lot of oil and water. Even Fanyang, which has many wealthy families, has also prospered due to trade between the north and the south, thus giving birth to many wealthy families. In comparison, Daijun is relatively poor, that is, General Chen After coming here, Daijun Baizhi and Dai Kiln were built, which improved things a bit, but compared to other places, it was still far inferior. My Tang family wanted to move eastward several times, or leave a branch there. We can only let it go because we have no backing and it is difficult to compete with other aristocratic families, which is a pity..."

Speaking of this, Tang Taigong obviously thought of something and showed a look of reminiscing.

Tang Dian in the crowd said at this time: "Now that General Chen is my Tang family's backer, I can give it a try. I think not long ago, because of the relationship between the former Daijun prefect, our Tang family fell to the bottom, and we thought we would have to lurk for a few years. , I didn’t expect to be able to prosper now, it can be regarded as the blessing of my ancestors.”

Tang Taigong's attention was called back by these words, and then he said in a rather solemn tone: "Our Tang family is said to be one of the major aristocratic families in Dai County, but in fact, we are more or less trying to put gold on our faces. Not to mention the aristocratic families in Luoyang and Jiangzuo, even the aristocratic families in Fanyang and Yan Kingdom, I am afraid they will look down on us and regard us as ordinary nobles, but no matter what, we are not a low-class family, our ancestors have also achieved success, and we should be prosperous!"

A few words were able to mobilize everyone's spirits.

"Zi'er strives to be an official under the general, and his future is limitless. Even now, he can report the general's whereabouts from time to time. In two days at most, the general will return. This is an opportunity for our Tang family. If we miss it, , it will not be easy to get close to him in the future. You probably also know that the general intends to move his headquarters, either to Fanyang or to Yan State. Once he leaves, it will not be so easy for us to visit or entertain him. It’s easy.”

"Isn't there Tang Zi?" someone couldn't help but say.

But then someone else retorted, saying: "General Tang Zide takes this seriously. This is a good thing, but we should also act steadily and not be arrogant. Otherwise, if we hate the general, we will be self-defeating."

"Yes," many people agreed, and then added, "Also, I think that although he can pass on information, he still has to exercise restraint and not go too far, otherwise the people around the general will regard him as leaking information. , maybe there are disadvantages." Everyone commented and put forward their opinions one after another, but they acted cautiously, showing their respect for Chen Zhi.

Tang Taigong was quite satisfied when he heard this. When he saw that it was almost done, he waved his hand to stop everyone talking. The seriousness on his face dissipated a little, and he said with a smile: "You can think of this. Even if I leave, I can still do it." Don't worry, it means that our Tang family will not go astray in the future." Seeing someone wanting to express filial piety, the old man stopped talking, "Don't be busy talking about this now, I have summoned you here today just to explain what will happen in the next few days. Things, don’t talk nonsense.”

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully.

"Madam is pregnant, and I heard that she will give birth in the next few days. This is a big battle," Tang Taigong said with emotion, shaking his head lightly, "Every family in the city is ready, and some families even started a few days ago. Months ago, I was ready to make a move and spent a lot of money to collect gifts from all over the country, just waiting to congratulate the young master and show his loyalty when he was born."

"We will not lose to other families in this regard," Tang Dian came over to report the situation, "This time, our Tang family not only collected the calligraphy works of several famous masters of the current and previous dynasties, but also prepared many objects, which are even more precious. If you offer me the inkstone, it will definitely go to the general’s liking! If you satisfy him, no matter how bad it is, you won’t be compared with others.”

"Very good!" Tang Taigong nodded, showing satisfaction, but before everyone below could rejoice, he suddenly changed the subject, "But this is not enough."

"Could it be that there are gifts from other families that are more precious?" Tang Dian and others looked puzzled, "Although it is a rare opportunity, but after all, there is no need to go overboard. Our Tang family has spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on these gifts. , even the normal business has been affected, and if it continues, it will be a strain. This is because we have made a lot of gains in the past few months due to white paper and porcelain, and other companies can no longer match our financial resources. , Do you want to fight for the bottom?"

"I understand!" Suddenly, Tang Yun laughed, "What Grandpa means is that now that Youzhou has changed hands, and the Youzhou clan is coming to celebrate, compared with them, our Tang family has this Assets are not ranked, which means that the vision cannot be limited to one generation county."

Inspired by him, other people also expressed their opinions. One said that other families should consider competing for their capital, and another said that the surrounding forces might also join in the fun. Compared with large forces such as the Xianbei tribe and half of the country, How can the power of a clan be counterbalanced?Of course, the congratulatory gift should be lowered to a lower level, it would be difficult to impress General Chen, and the purpose of the gift was not achieved.

Just as they were talking, everyone felt that their grandfather's expression was calm, and he seemed to disagree. In the end, they stopped and cast questioning eyes.

Tang Taigong sighed and said: "What you said is all right, but there is a deviation. You just regard the gift as celebrating the son's birth, but you have never thought that this thing is actually a congratulation to the general. If you can give it to the general, The thing that is most needed now, even if it is not valuable, can still leave a deep impression on the general's mind, but the problem is..."

"General, what do you want most now?"
