Girl, there's something wrong with you

Yu Yuangui insisted on the Northern Expedition, and with the cooperation of the upper echelon, Queen Mother Yu, it could be said that it was almost a foregone conclusion and could not be stopped.

The best that the noble family can do is to make preparations for how to respond after a defeat, and try to minimize the losses on the human army's side.

Cheng Jinyang didn't say anything about the strategy everyone decided.

Although he can increase his combat power to the first level after turning on demonization, Ziwei Emperor in the Central Plains is also first level, so he is not sure of victory.

Not to mention what to do if you meet your mother.

The newly promoted Heavenly Emperor is undoubtedly Xie Guyan. Of course, this news cannot be told, otherwise everyone present will immediately have various thoughts.

For example, since Xie Guyan is his mother, she shouldn't want to kill him, right? Thinking like this will give rise to the desire to make peace with demons. Who would be willing to confront a first-grade Heavenly Emperor head-on?

Make peace, how to make peace? Of course, let yourself fulfill your filial piety.

At that time, I can only do whatever my mother tells me to do. Maybe all the eldest ladies of the family will have to go through this to ensure the genetic diversity of future generations... Cheng Jin Yangyang shuddered at the thought.

The fact that the Emperor of Heaven is my mother can be delayed as long as possible.

The meeting ended smoothly soon, which also marked that Cheng Jinyang was finally accepted by everyone and entered the core circle of the top gentry.

After all, the gentry itself is a political family based on blood relations, so marriage is naturally the safest way to form an alliance among the gentry.

Previously, Yu Yuangui married his sister to the emperor, and he immediately rose to the top of the imperial court. Later, I, Cheng Jinyang, had eight sons-in-law, and all the gentry’s connections and resources were available to them as they wished!

Great, I feel like I have found the wealth code of this era.

After the meeting, Cheng Jinyang arranged for everyone to stay temporarily and chat with the girls who had not returned home for a long time.

Of course, it is impossible to sleep in the same bed during this period. The elders are here and they let the girls sleep with them. Isn’t this a joke?

When he returned to his residence, Cheng Jinyang saw that there was no one in the room.

Melancholy.

There are so many people from other aristocratic families in the clan, so it's not easy to go to Xiaoli and the others to play tricks.

After sitting on the sofa for a moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

"Jinyang?" It was the voice of the princess sister.

"Sister Xinnan!" Cheng Jinyang quickly stood up and opened the door for her.

"Have all the five surnames been settled?" Sister Princess walked into the living room and asked with a smile.

"Absolutely." Cheng Jinyang sighed and said, "Where are you?"

"Mom still has doubts about uncle." The princess sister replied, "The clan members line up to get uncle's eye drops from her every day, plus uncle... his political achievements in the past are indeed not great. OK, she was often deeply worried about it.”

Cheng Jinyang smiled secretly in his heart, and of course he understood what the Queen Mother was worried about:

As a younger sister, she belongs to the Yu family, so of course she has to support her brother;

As a mother, she is the Queen Mother of the Sima family, and she has to consider her son's country and country - this uncle is indeed a bit weak, and he is not a capable minister who can be relied on!

Eh? etc……

"Sister Xinnan." Cheng Jinyang frowned and asked, "Do you think the Queen Mother will place her hopes on her future consort?"

"Hey, how do you know?" Princess Sister asked in surprise, "Yes, she plans to choose a talented young man from a noble family to be her consort, preferably from a fifth-grade lower-class family, just like my imperial grandfather chose her. , as her father’s crown princess.”

"I told her directly that I didn't want to. She had nothing to do with me. She has been madly annoying Luling recently."

She said with a smile, but her eyes seemed a little lonely.

Then Cheng Jinyang remembered that the princess sister seemed to be 22 years old and she didn't even have a boyfriend.

"Sister Xinnan." He simply confessed and said, "You know my situation. Originally, I wanted to wait until I established my career and then try to give you an explanation. But if you can't wait any longer, I... "

After once again estimating the pros and cons of becoming a consort, he simply gritted his teeth and said: "I will apply to the royal family for this consort!"

The princess sister looked at him blankly for a moment and then said:

"What about the sisters around you? If they are really reduced to concubines, even the five surnamed families will not agree."

"I will try to convince them." Cheng Jinyang replied.

"I'm very happy that you have this intention." The princess sister was a little touched and came over to hug him. "But I can't ruin the career you have worked so hard to build just because of selfish thoughts."

"If you are an ordinary royal princess, you will naturally not be able to withstand the pressure in the palace, but I am special." She smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, no one can force me."

She hugged Cheng Jinyang for a moment, followed by another long kiss, before the princess sister left again.

After watching the princess sister fly away, Cheng Jinyang sighed deeply in his heart.

In fact, the plot to plot the prince's consort was not a spur of the moment impulse on his part.

From the current point of view, at least he has completely completed this path by turning the nobles into his basic base.

However, the deeper you are tied to the nobility, the more resources and connections you can mobilize, and the greater the constraints you will face from the nobility.

For those in power, the most taboo thing is that the people below are monolithic. In this way, once any decision you want to implement conflicts with their will, they can easily unite to resist.

Today's Five Surnames family is such an iron plate. Even in terms of political prestige alone, within this small group, he is simply not comparable to Wang Maohong. He relies entirely on his potential first-class combat power to "convince people with virtue."

Giving all power to the gentry is like putting all your eggs in one basket. It is not a wise choice.

Cheng Jinyang has just reached a consensus with the Five Surnames family. The two parties are in the "honeymoon period" of cooperation. In the short term, there is no need to consider the balance of power. However, in the long run, they must make arrangements in advance to avoid letting the Five Surnames family dominate their power.

The Yu family can also become a suitable chess piece as long as it is measured appropriately.

If he can be brought into the game in the name of a consort, then the family with the fifth surname will never allow him to become a consort and let the girls become concubines.

In this way, it is still impossible for him to become the consort, and he will not be sorry to the girls, but the power of the five surnamed families and the royal family can check and balance each other.

In the end, Miss Wang agreed to this plan, so it should be no problem.

After sorting out his future plans again, Cheng Jinyang went out to the headquarters of Tianluodiwang.

After wandering around Jingkou for so long, it’s time to meet Xi Daohui.

………………

Xi Daohui and his party were wandering around in Jingkou. The more they investigated, the more frightened they became.

Cui's Bank injected a large amount of funds, and Li's Grain Store provided sufficient supplies. The former promotes economic prosperity, while the latter ensures people's livelihood and health. Under such circumstances, if Jingkou Town cannot soar into the sky, then there is something wrong with the social science theory.

Then everyone went to see the construction site to evaluate the speed of infrastructure expansion in Jingkou Town. When they went to the construction sites around the town, they found that it was actually a project built by Xingyang No. 1 Construction.

Xingyang First Construction Group is a real estate company wholly owned by the Zheng family in Xingyang. Using nearly omnipotent telekinesis to carry out construction construction, he can achieve an extremely terrifying project turnaround speed, and he also holds a large number of positions in the military's engineering and logistics units.

Of course, with Cui's financial supply, it is not surprising that Zheng's engineering projects would appear here.

My favorite place in real estate is the value depression. There are a lot of homeless people here in Jingkou, labor is cheap, and Cui has an extremely aggressive investment attitude, so it would be unreasonable for Zheng not to take the opportunity to make a fortune from it.

I found people queuing up to buy a house at a property purchase office, and when I asked, they turned out to be citizens who came from Jiankang, not local refugees in Jingkou.

"Why did you come to Jingkou if you didn't go to Lin'an to buy a house?" Xi Chongxi asked dumbfounded, "Jingkou is located in the north of the Yangtze River and may be attacked by demons at any time. How can Lin'an be as safe?"

"What do you know? The north of Lin'an is against the ruins of Songjiang. How much safer is it than Jingkou?" The other party said nonchalantly, "Even our imperial capital of Jiankang suffered two military disasters, and this is still under the emperor's feet!"

"Besides, there are cavalry troops outside Jingkou sweeping south Xuzhou, and there is a dragnet inside to ensure public security. I heard it is more peaceful than Lin'an. Otherwise, why would the Yankees settle down at Jingkou instead of continuing to cross the river to Lin'an?"

"They have come all the way to settle here. Do you want to buy a house? With more people and fewer houses, the price of the house will definitely rise. Those who can't afford it choose to rent it for a long time. There is also an income from renting it out! In the past six months and a year, the house price has doubled , wouldn’t it be better to sell the house again?”

"Then Jingkou must be able to survive half a year and a year smoothly." Xi Chongxi reminded, "As you said, Jiankang has suffered two military disasters. How do you know that Jingkou will not be attacked by monsters?"

"Cheng Jieshuai from the Beifu Army in Jingkou Town, that's the uncle of the Wu family!" The other party said, "You don't understand." He said, "Even the Zheng family builder also bought hundreds of houses in this community. I am sure that Jingkou housing prices will not fall in the future!”

"The Jingkou of the future is the Jingkou of the son-in-law of the Five-surnamed family. All the Five-surnamed families have bought properties here, how could they let anything happen to it? I won't bother you anymore, my number has arrived, and I have to go through the formalities. "

Xi Daohui:? ! !

Does he disdain? Yes, he is disdainful. But for Princess Sister to join the package, checks and balances are absolutely necessary.
