Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 983 Luxury is not a bad thing
"Two hours ago, Mr. Lu and others gathered together. Someone suggested that they should wait until the discussion was over before coming directly to see the Lord. However, because the discussion took too long, they gave up the idea. Other than that..."

Tong Hai didn't need to look at any information, he just poured out the information continuously.

Chen Zhi laughed when he heard this and said, "Lu Mo and the others still know that the time is not right, and it's really not good to come and disturb them."

Tong Hai echoed: "To think about it, Mr. Lu and others really didn't expect that the Lord would be so diligent. A meeting lasted for several hours, from dawn to midnight. Even the generals and military advisors were exhausted. He must have thought that My lord is also tired."

While talking, Tong Hai carefully observed Chen Zhi.

When Chen Zhi was talking to his generals and staff, Tong Hai would occasionally come over to report on the situation, walking back and forth, but he had to go back to rest in between, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on. He also saw the tired faces of the generals, and what followed. The tired eyes of many staff members, but now they looked at Chen Zhi, and found that General Zhengbei, who had been listening to reports, giving instructions, and analyzing the situation throughout the whole process, was in high spirits, and they couldn't help but marvel and admire him even more.

Whether analyzing or issuing orders, you not only have to use your brain, but you also have to bear pressure and make overall considerations. It is most easy to get tired. Those generals and subordinates are often only responsible for their own parts, and they are still exhausted like this. As a result, when Chen Zhi was here, It's really puzzling that he is still energetic.

Tong Hai would not know that since Chen Zhi became more and more skilled in observing Qi, especially when he occupied Jixian County and completely captured Youzhou, his whole person's luck was combined with Youzhou's luck, and the dense Qi seemed to flow from time to time. Wrapping it around the body at all times not only strengthens the body, but also drives away diseases and colds. It also provides long-lasting energy, making Chen Zhi extremely energetic.

In fact, Chen Zhilian's sleeping time has been reduced accordingly. He can squeeze out time to think and deal with more problems without feeling tired. His sleeping time can be compressed to about two hours a day, which is equivalent to the amount of time in future generations. Time, that's about four hours.

This length of time, even in later generations, would not be called very long. It could be regarded as a kind of explosive cultivation of immortality, and Chen Zhi was still in a long-term state, which was more shocking than those who occasionally cultivated immortality.

However, the reason cannot be disclosed to the public. Listening to Tong Hai's emotional words, Chen Zhi just smiled and said, "How come you have learned how to flatter me?"

When Tong Hai heard this, he was a little embarrassed. He did mean to please him with what he said just now. With the expansion of Daijun's power, Chen Zhi's status was different from the past. Even people close to him had different attitudes toward him. It’s also different.

Especially this return from outside the Great Wall can be said to have established Chen Zhi's position as the overlord of the North. Even Tong Hai's relatives and friends often wrote letters to encourage him, asking him to be careful with his words and please as much as possible, which was inevitable.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi didn't dwell on this. He mentioned it casually and then asked about the lives of Lu Mo and others. Although he had a photographic memory, there were some scattered things that he didn't care about. It involved several aristocratic families in Youzhou, and Chen Zhi asked about it. Apart from a few typical characters, I only have a general understanding of the other members of these families, let alone those from the sidelines like Lu Mo?
Therefore, the Secret Service is required to provide biographical information about these people.

Tong Hai had finished sorting it out a long time ago. When he heard the question, he handed it over as soon as possible.

Chen Zhi took it and looked through it, instead of nodding, his expression gradually changed slightly.Noticing this detail, Tong Hai couldn't help but say: "Shanggu and Guangning counties are relatively remote and poor in Youzhou, but the people here are also arrogant and extravagant. Lu Mo himself is okay, he has restrained himself in recent years. He advocates elegance, but his descendants, as well as members of several other families, are indifferent to leisure and work. Although they cannot be said to be extravagant and lustful, they are still extravagant!"

Chen Zhi listened with his ears, watched with his eyes, and nodded from time to time.

It turns out that these dossiers that record the lives of Lu Mo and others, in addition to describing the lives of several people, also describe how they behaved when foreign invaders invaded. They also have a wonderful drama of life, showing various aspects of life.

In addition, it describes how these people enjoy extravagantly, what they bought today, how to become rich tomorrow, and the day after that they follow the fashion from Luoyang and other places in the south, and package themselves up to live a so called life. A wonderful one.

"All the families in Youzhou have this hobby." After reading for a while, Chen Zhi put down the intelligence book and started talking with Tong Hai, "You have been sorting out intelligence around the northern war zone recently, and you have integrated and understood the intelligence of Yan State and Fanyang County. If you don’t have enough, you still don’t know. Many children from aristocratic families in Youzhou have a habit of luxury and enjoyment. Fighting for wealth and grudges often occur, but compared to the nobles in the hinterland of the Central Plains in the south, they are still different."

Upon hearing this, Tong Hai asked curiously.

Chen Zhi seemed to be in the middle of a conversation and said in a casual manner: "The aristocratic families in the hinterland of the Central Plains are actually more arrogant and extravagant. They just cover it up with a layer of talk about Taoism. Apart from other things, they just talk about the Xingtan Taoism. Under the banner of retro, celebrities from aristocratic families gathered together to talk about mysteries, how useful do you think this article can be?"

Tong Hai listened with a strange expression on his face. Why didn't he know that the man in front of him gained his reputation by relying on Qingzhou's apricot forum to discuss Taoism, so why is he still black now?
Before Tong Hai could clear his mind, Chen Zhi continued: "Can the principles derived from discussing Taoism be turned into soldiers' pay and food? Can they be turned into soldiers and riders? Neither can. Even after many celebrities become officials, they will not follow Taoism theory. When it comes to administration, it is about harmony and harmony. On the other hand, this discussion of Taoism involves hundreds of thousands of people in the past few months. How much does it cost? Even the cost on this journey is staggering. What's more, some celebrities, in order to show their demeanor and cultivation, There are a large number of servants and classmates accompanying me, and the expenses and luxuries inside are much higher than those of the Youzhou nobles, but they are not despised by others, but are said to be elegant. This is the difference between superior and inferior."

Tong Hai thought about it and felt that it made sense. The aristocratic families in the south looked quite elegant, but behind them they actually had money piled up.

"Not only is it just for the discussion, celebrities gather from all over the world, but the expenses along the way are also quite large, including accommodation and food. However, there are actually benefits," Chen Zhi said. Suddenly, the meaning behind his words made Tong Hai became confused, "Looking at it on the other hand, although the Youzhou family's behavior is simple and crude, just to spend money to fight for wealth, in the past six months, what many people are most passionate about is the purchase of several of my books and the purchase of Dai Kiln ceramics. , and the pursuit of the book compiled by Dai Jun on white paper. Whether it is to please him or to follow the trend of Luoyang, from a certain point of view, it is a good thing."

Tong Hai felt that he understood what Chen Zhi meant, so he couldn't help but agree: "This is also beneficial to the promotion of your reputation, Fujun."

Chen Zhi shook his head, and said with a smile: "That's not the case. I mean, instead of hiding money in the treasury of the aristocratic family, it's better to spend it and circulate it in Youzhou."
