Zhen Yao's father died a long time ago, and his eldest brother and second brother also died young.
Now that the old grandpa of the Zhen family is getting older, he has no way to manage the affairs of the Zhen family.
Although Zhen Yao was only in his 20s at this time and his talent was mediocre, he was already a representative of the Zhen family.
This shows how far the Zhen family has reached.
Therefore, everyone is well aware of today's scene, and it's just that everyone takes what they need.
Cao Ang is now in need of a big family like the Zhen family, who can stabilize the hearts of the local people and assist the Cao family to consolidate the stability of Hebei.
And now the Zhen family needs someone who can back them up and bring them strength.
Zhen Yao also had a certain understanding of Cao Ang. Although he knew that this young man was very unusual, after meeting him for the first time, he was surprised by Cao Ang's temperament.
Now Cao Ang's halo is too much, coupled with the effects of those titles, Cao Ang just standing here at this time already gives people a good coercion.
In terms of aura, this Cao Ang has already surpassed his father.
Cao Ang's temperament has a sense of leadership, which makes people submissive unconsciously.
This is also something that a general should have.
A few years ago, Zhen Yao followed the old grandpa to meet the former overlord of Hebei, Shao Shao. As the overlord of Hebei, Yuan Shao's aura is not weak.
But compared with Cao Ang standing in front of him, Yuan Shao is not worth mentioning at all.
Zhen Yao knew that he was not capable, so if he wanted to revitalize the Zhen family and maintain the Zhen family, the only thing he could do was to find a powerful family for the Zhen family.
And now that the Cao family dares to say number one, no one dares to say number two, right?
Cao Cao is now named the Duke of Wei by the emperor. He is the Duke in name, but he is actually the king of the princes.
Think about it, Qizhou is a feudal state of the Cao family, how dare the Zhen family not look at the faces of the Cao family?
In addition, Cao Ang is an important figure in the Cao family!
If they can get involved with the Cao family, then the Zhen family can still prosper for a hundred years!
What the Zhen family wants is also very clear, naturally they hope to be reused by the court and then return to the center of power.
For this reason, the members of the Zhen family are very willing to pay any price.
But on this point, Cao Ang really had no way to agree.
Cao Ang was very disgusted with those aristocratic families, and his philosophy of employing people was as cherished as Cao Cao.
If the family of Zhen Yaozhen in front of him has real talents and practical work, is there still a need to ask for an official?
The reason is that they are all ordinary people, and Cao Ang has always assigned work to such people according to their strength.
Because of this, the cooperation that Cao Cao wanted was not political cooperation, but commercial cooperation.
With the help of the Zhen family's influence and prestige in Hebei, they can develop resources.
Cao Ang wanted to do a lot of coal and steel. If he developed a large amount of resources and infrastructure in Hebei, it would be the same for anyone to do these jobs.
However, if these prominent family groups took the initiative, relatively speaking, the resistance to progress would be smaller.
But the Zhen family was a little hesitant about this, because these famous families were very resistant to doing business, and they felt that they would lose their status.
Although each prominent family has its own property, but the children of the gentry seldom participate in it personally, half of them are agents of merchants, and Cao Ang hopes that the Zhen family will end in person, which is really embarrassing.
Guo Jia persuaded: "Young master Zhen, the general entrusts you with such a good job, and he already values you very much, you, the Zhen family!"
"The general chose you because the Zhen family has a good reputation in Hebei. Such an opportunity is really rare. I hope you don't miss it."
Cao Ang needs people. The Zhen family has thousands of people. If you count the vassals and servants, there are about 2 people.
This is indeed a very large family, but Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are not the only ones.
Official career can go at any time, as long as enough talented family children are cultivated, but opportunities like this don't come at any time. If you don't feel embarrassed, you will regret it if you miss the precious opportunity.
At this time point, as long as the coal mine and steel business are done well, there will be huge profits, and there is almost no risk.
Ying Ang gave Zhen Yao a guarantee: "I can't guarantee that the Zhen family will be an extremely powerful official and have power over the world, but I can guarantee that the Zhen family will become the richest man in Huozhou, and even the richest man in Hebei."
It is difficult to reverse the traditional concept for a while. Didn't the Mi family, the richest man in Xuzhou in the past, try to engage in political speculation because they felt that making money was not enough face?
But now Mi Zhu has become Cao Ang's white gloves and royal businessman.
Although Mi Zhu is not a big official, his energy and power are not small.
All of Cao Ang's foreign business activities are managed by Mi Lan.
The current status of the Zhen family is much higher than that of the Mi family.
But the most important thing now is to survive, otherwise what is the development?
Zhen Yao is learning about Cao Ang's plan and various promises
He also really thinks that Hebei's commercial development will lead to a big explosion.
The most important thing is to use this to get Cao Ang on the list and become a family surrounded by great generals, which is very important to the current Zhen family.
"Thank you, General, the Zhen family is willing to follow the lead of the general. As long as the general orders the Zhen family's tens of thousands of people, they will definitely go through fire and water and do whatever they want."
Cao Ang said with satisfaction: "Very good!"
Zhen Yao greeted the people around him at this moment.
Soon, a well-dressed girl was brought up. This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a graceful figure, a beautiful appearance, and a very noble temperament.
Unlike Da Qiao who is quiet and virtuous, and Xiao Qiao who is lively and cute, Zhen Mi's temperament is particularly outstanding, she looks very cold, like the god of Luoshui, she is so otherworldly .
After Zhen Mi saw Cao Ang, she quickly knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to Cao Ang who was standing in front of her, and said, "Zhen Mi pays homage to General Cao Ang."
The Zhen family has good genes, and everyone is talented and beautiful.
Among them, there are five women in the direct line, namely Na Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, and Zhen Mi.
Among these five people, the one with the most famous reputation is that Zhen Mi, who is called Zhen Ji and Queen Zhen of Luoshen by later generations.
According to historical records, Zhen Mi was first married to Yuan Shao's son Aishang by the Zhen family. After the Yuan family was annihilated by the Cao family, Zhen Mi was attracted by Cao Pi because she was a stunning beauty, and eventually became Queen Zhen.
However, history has now been changed. The Battle of Guandu had ended a year earlier.
And the Yuan family was destroyed three years earlier, and Yuan Shang's marriage to Zhen Mi was a later event.
