Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6588 Method
At this moment, Zhen Yan finally understood the causes and consequences of Media's fall. Without saying anything else, at least he could be a clear-headed ghost. But this was not the result he wanted. He did not have any extra thoughts. He just did not want to die. He did not want to be a clear-headed ghost.

Seeing that a quarter of an hour had passed since the bell was rung, but the elders had not yet gathered, Zhen Yan's eyes were no longer hesitant. He turned his head and said to Zhang Liang, who was recently recovering in Chang'an, "Sorry to bother you all. The misfortunes of our family are all caused by evil. Those who have not come by this time should be killed."

When saying this, Zhen Yan was extremely calm, just like killing a chicken. If at the beginning Zhen Yan wanted to give dignity to the elders of his own family by killing a few of those with the biggest problems, then now there is no need for decency, just kill them all.

"Ah?" Zhang Liang was shocked. Shit, when Li You and I went to kill the family, we at least read out the crime and took out the household registration to verify their identities. You just killed them all. Isn't that a bit too much? They are all members of your Zhen family after all, and you killed them all?
"Those who can come here are all elders of the clan, so it's not about wiping out the entire lineage, but just killing all the elders who didn't come. We will take down the younger generation first to determine whether they are involved in this matter. If there are any domineering ones during this period, they will all be killed." Zhen Yan said very calmly.

Zhang Liang did not see any cold and tyrannical aura in Zhen Yan, but he just saw a calmness as if he was killing a chicken. However, as a veteran who had fought in the battlefield for more than 20 years, he knew very well that this kind of person was a truly ruthless person.

Once an honest person gets angry, he will really rebel.

After hearing this, several elders and stewards who had already arrived began to persuade Zhen Yan, but Zhen Yan just smiled and ignored them. He pointed at Zhen Ling who was about to enter the door and turned to Zhang Liang and said, "Capture Zhen Ling first, and let me do it."

Zhang Liang frowned but did not refuse. Ruan Gong had informed them when he came that they should just follow Zhen Yan's command when they arrived at Zhen's house. Moreover, Zhen Yan had the transfer order of the Imperial Guard, so he just had to treat this order as a military order.

Zhang Liang understood this and didn't say much. He took Zhen Ling down in a flash. After being locked up, the other party started roaring on the spot. Seeing this, the other elders who had arrived hurried to stop and persuade Zhen Yan, but it was meaningless. Zhen Yan just walked to the side of Zhen Ling.

"Where is Zhen An?" Zhen Yan asked Zhen Ling.

"How dare you call me directly..." Zhen Ling didn't think highly of Zhen Yan in the first place, and thought that he only got the position of the head of the family by luck. Moreover, Zhen Yan didn't care about anything afterwards, so he looked down on Zhen Yan from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, even after being locked up by Zhang Liang, he didn't realize how serious the situation had gotten.

"You don't know your destiny." Zhen Yan looked at Zhen Ling calmly and said without continuing to communicate. He just drew out the sword that represented his status as the head of the family, and in front of everyone, slashed at Zhen Ling with the sword. The sword was used very ugly. Zhen Yan, who was dissolute and unwilling to study martial arts diligently, even though he was holding a top-level sword, this sword only cut half of Zhen Ling's neck.

Blood spurted out from the incision, splashing half of Zhen Yan's clothes, and Zhen Ling screamed, but most of his neck had been cut open. Even if a miracle doctor wanted to save him, he would have to be on the scene with equipment, so he died as expected, and died very, very painfully. After Zhang Liang let go, blood flowed all over the floor of the Zhen family's lobby, and Zhen Yan stepped on Zhen Ling's body and pulled out the sword that was stuck in his spine.

It was cruel and crazy, especially since Zhen Yan showed almost no change after doing all this. The Zhen family elders, who had been complaining and thought they had the qualifications and status, all bowed their heads like quails when they saw Zhen Yan turning around and looking at them with his back to the gate.

"Zhen Yao, take them with you and kill those who should be killed." Zhen Yan said calmly, "I can't solve the situation in Medea, but I can kill all the people who hurt me. As for the rest, I leave it to you."

Zhen Yao looked at his brother and realized what he was doing.

"Don't be like this. After all, you are the head of the Zhen family. You have to give an explanation for such a big thing. I can't think of any plan to explain it, so the ending is already decided." Zhen Yan said with some trembling. He could accept everything else but death. He hadn't enjoyed it enough.

It is precisely because of this extreme mentality that Zhen Yan felt nothing after his first murder, and was extremely calm when he did such a brutal thing again. Since I can't solve the problem and will definitely die, I will at least take you all with me to die.

As for the idea of ​​killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, after Zhen Yan listened to what Zhen Yao said and understood the cause and effect, the idea no longer existed. There were no monkeys left, so he might as well kill them all.

"Brother, there is still hope, there is still hope." Zhen Yao grabbed Zhen Yan and said.

"Go and handle it. The Zhen family may need a strong head of the family, or a normal head who knows what happened in their family. I can't do it, so it will depend on you from now on. There is only one living elder left, oh, only one left. Elder, do you agree that Zhen Yao should be the next head of the family?" Zhen Yan looked at the elders who had little presence on the side. Those who didn't come died next.

"Agree, agree!" The elder of the clan, who had always had little presence and did not respect Zhen Yan, but at least respected the position of the family patriarch, spoke hurriedly. He knew that although Zhen Yan looked stable at this time, he was actually almost crazy. He could really send the entire Zhen family elders down.

"Okay, go and deal with them. If they don't obey, just kill them. I think that with things getting to this point, they have enough evidence to be convicted of crimes." Zhen Yan stuffed the sword and jade pendant that represented the identity of the head of the family into Zhen Yao's hands. "Don't be reluctant. If you really meet that kind of person, just recall the time when we played in the mud when we were young. From now on, I'm counting on you."

Zhen Yao's tears were streaming down his face. After taking the sword that represented his status as the head of the family, he rushed directly to the inner courtyard with the guards brought back by Zhen Yan.

"Zhen Yao, how dare you?" This was the roar that Zhen An uttered at the last moment, but after this roar, several etched crossbows hit Zhen An and directly beat him into pieces.

The Zhen family was a large family established in the late Western Han Dynasty. It owned a hereditary official position of two thousand stones. After a family leader who was almost like a puppet suppressed the family guards, only five hundred guards took only half a day to wipe out the entire family.

Any constraints or hindrances are meaningless in the face of violence.

"Okay, the follow-up is up to you. I will go give an explanation to Chen Zichuan. This has nothing to do with others. It's our problem." In the setting sun, Zhen Yan identified the guilt of the surviving members of the Zhen family and the Zhen family's housekeepers and servants one by one. Those who should be sent to the authorities were sent, and those who should be killed were killed directly. Then, he said to Zhen Yao with some exhaustion.

"Things haven't gotten that bad yet. We still have enough money, food, and supplies to pay compensation. All we have to do is take back Media." Zhen Yao said, pulling his brother.

"Can we take it back in 27 days?" Zhen Yan said calmly, "Money and food materials must be compensated. The money and food materials from the Han Dynasty, Rome, and the aristocratic families, all added up, at least tens of billions of money worth of materials, and among them there are also Rome's fast-growing rice seeds..."

"The only problem is to retake the city." Zhen Yao looked at Zhen Yan and said, "We in the Zhen family are not short of money. As for fast-growing rice seeds, we also have them."

Although the Zhen family did not understand the industrial chain, their money was enough to support them in imitating Chen Xi to extend the upstream and downstream of the industry. This was discovered as early as the seventh year of Yuanfeng when Chen Xi and Liu Bei passed through Jizhou. At that time, Chen Xi even laughed at the Zhen family and said that the Zhen family was not good at fiefdoms, but they were really good at making money. At least the Zhen family had completely opened up the upstream and downstream of the sugar industry.

The handmade candies with words on them are the best-selling candies in Central China. Although the costs of labor and technology are added, because the upstream and downstream of the industry are completely connected, the Zhen family's candies with words on them are sold at the same price as normal candies of other families. This is the core of the Zhen family's blasting away other families in the candy industry.

Similarly, if the candy industry has achieved this level, it will inevitably extend some other branches upstream and downstream, such as animal husbandry and farms, in order to further spread the cost.

"We will just compensate Media for the lost supplies. More than 10 billion worth of supplies are not a big deal to us. The reason Cao compensated us with Kandahar was because we really paid out nearly 20 billion worth of supplies at that time, right?" Zhen Yao said to Zhen Yan.

At that time, many members of the Zhen family's parliament on Cao Cao's side were hacked to death. The reason was that the Zhen family over-issued bills, disrupted the market and created a crisis. But the Zhen family recovered and looked over, and really took out materials that were said to be worth 26 billion. Although there were indeed problems such as piecing together, borrowing from upstream and downstream, and pricing slightly higher than the market price, you can only say that they took out so many materials.

It was precisely because the Zhen family really took out so much supplies at that time that the Cao family was forced to make compensation according to the facts, even directly compromising the whole of Kandahar. Zhen Yan knew about this, but he did not pay attention to the scale.

There are no more than four families in the world that have truly completed the upstream and downstream layout of the industry, and the Zhen family is one of them. Therefore, as long as the Zhen family is not completely emptied out at once and its reputation is not destroyed, the materials that the Zhen family can produce in a short period of time will exceed the imagination of a normal family.

This is because Chen Xi blocked the bills that naturally appeared within the Zhen family. Otherwise, the size of the Zhen family would be even larger, and the materials it could mobilize would be even more exaggerated.

To put it bluntly, the size and business reputation of the Zhen family have developed to the level that can support the bank, so occasional overspending will not cause the collapse of the Zhen family. In other words, the family does not have 26 billion worth of materials, but it can still reveal them in a short period of time to show Cao Cao.

In the same way, materials worth hundreds of billions would not be considered a big deal unless they were taken out in one go. Under Chen Xi, the Zhen family was the only one in terms of financial resources, although the Zhen family was the only one in terms of financial resources in the past.

"That is to say, as long as we can retake Media, we may be fine." Zhen Yan's eyes instantly lit up when he heard his younger brother's words. Who would want to die when he can live? Damn it, he hasn't enjoyed enough. Being the head of the world's number one wealthy family, he is really happy!
"Yes, at least the death penalty can be exempted. As for the living punishment, we will talk about it later." Zhen Yao sighed. The guards under his command were all city management personnel, equivalent to the police in the city. If the two hundred guards under his command were patrol personnel, Media would not have fallen.

More than 300,000 refugees sounds scary, but as long as the patrol personnel discover the refugees early, the secondary capital can just block the four gates, put down the Dragon-Severing Stones, and block the entrances, and the refugees without siege equipment will not be able to enter at all.

If they can hold out for a few days, the surrounding Han families will come and disperse the refugees in no time. By then, even if they find that there are only 200 patrol personnel in the secondary capital, it will not matter. As long as Media has not fallen, this matter will not matter. At most, Zhen Yan will be called by Chen Xi to be reprimanded and asked to strengthen the defense.

At most, I will drink three cups as punishment, and then thank the brothers around me for their help.

But the biggest problem now is that this matter has been weighed. If it is not weighed, it will not weigh more than 4 taels, but if it is weighed, it will weigh more than 10,000 kilograms.

"Hire the surrounding families and let them take us down." Zhen Yan, who would rather live than die, suddenly became clear-headed after realizing that he could actually survive.

"Give them each a billion worth of self-selected materials, and send them the material list we can get from Zichuan, so that they can conquer Media under the banner of the Zhen family." Zhen Yan's mind has never worked so fast in his life. "After conquering Media, plant the Han Dynasty's flag there, and then take charge there in the name of the Zhen family. How many fast-growing rice seeds do we have in Rome?"

"We have a farm in Yangzhou. We have just harvested the first round of fast-growing rice this year, and the second round will mature soon. The first round of rice is still on the ship and should be delivered to Liaodong Port in a few days." Zhen Yao thought for a while and said, they grow this to feed cows, and then make condensed milk and sell milk candy. The Zhen family's sugar industry is considered to be an outrageous thing at the level of a discontinuity in the Han Empire.

What Chen Xi mentioned before about making compressed biscuits and adding condensed milk into them is actually the technology developed by the Zhen family. As for the state-owned industrial park, some new technologies have actually emerged in recent years, but they are all relatively rudimentary and need continuous improvement. But to be honest, Chen Xi has reached the level of being able to make compressed biscuits these days, and Yanzhou Nongliang's food-related technology is already amazing.

"In that case, on the Roman side, do we have parliamentary members at the level of Roman senators?" Zhen Yan suddenly remembered that they had developed two Roman senators as teammates to develop the Roman market.

You can say Zhen's food is good, but the Zhen family is really good at making money.
