Chapter 104: The Heart of the World (Monthly Pass 270+)
(2nd Update!)
The Shi clan's resistance was brutal and direct, leaving Xie Li speechless.
Not long after he ordered a thorough investigation of the Pei family's acceptance of the displaced people, the Pei family, the Xue family, the Liu family, and the Chen family united the major clans and provided financial assistance to the Wenzhou homeless people.
It's September, and the weather in Hedong is gradually starting to get cooler. During the day, when you don't know it, at night, you will feel a chill, and some of the frail homeless people have curled up and shivered with cold.
At such a time, the family's sponsorship made the displaced people grateful, and also made the people and officials of Hedong and Wenzhou appreciate.
These subsidies not only provided the people with warm clothes and quilts, but also built simple houses for these displaced people in the north of Wenzhou for these displaced people to live in.
As the saying goes, it is better to give fish than to fish, and it will definitely not last long by relying on the offerings of the clan, so the clans also discussed with the Wenzhou government to let these displaced people reclaim the barren mountains and fields, and the income from planting can be kept for their own use in addition to paying very low taxes.
It takes a long time to clear the barren mountains and fields, in other words, these clans unite and use their financial resources to support these displaced people for a period of time until they settle down.
For such a thing, it is impossible for the Wenzhou Mansion to not agree.
In fact, Wenzhou Thorn Shi Yuan Zan is crazy with happiness!
Because in this way, the displaced people will gradually stabilize in Wenzhou, and they will become stable households in the future, which is one of his great achievements!
Even if Xie Lishi said that the Shi clan must have other intentions in this move, so that Yuan Zan could not agree to the displaced people to reclaim, Yuan Zan just didn't hear it.
Joke. It is rare for these Hedong forces to contribute money and materials, and Yuan Zan himself does not even need to give people, which can solve the problem of the displaced people in Wenzhou. Is there anything better than that?
Even if Yuan Zan is asked to jump into the lake on a cold day, he is very willing!
Xie Li could only watch the number of displaced people in Wenzhou decrease, and the displaced people he controlled Huang Chenglin did not use them at all.
How can it be used? Accusing the Pei family of selling hope to take in the people? But the Pei family will tell you plainly now that it is indeed the city that sells money, but it is for the Wenzhou Mansion and the Hedong Observation Embassy!
Xie Li was very sure. If he instructs those homeless people to accuse the Pei family now, the officials and people of Wenzhou will definitely not believe it. And spit on him in the face.
He couldn't figure out why the Pei family, in order to solve their own crisis, spent so much money and used money, why did the Xue, Liu, and Chen families also take action?
These families do just that. What's the benefit? Except for the money, many people are stupid. He couldn't think of any other reason.
Xie Li Shi couldn't figure it out, but it was also very simple. Because the Xie family is not a family that has gone through hundreds of years, they don't know the nature of these families.
Although the Xie family has a subordinate servant and an observer, it was too ordinary three generations ago, and now it is only powerful, but there is no hope.
What is hope?
The confidence of a family has to be slowly accumulated by the children of countless families, or because of the official reputation. Either because of good deeds, or because of great virtue. In short, it doesn't come for nothing.
Why are the Xue, Liu, and Chen families willing to help the Pei family?
It's not that they are stupid, it's because they think more deeply than Xie Li, and they want to grab a little prestige for their family.
Who doesn't want to get the No. 1 position in the Hedong family? If they can get this ranking, I'm afraid they will wake up with a smile in their dreams.
But they understand better that they can get the No. 1 position in Hedong not by pushing to the Pei family, but by their own family, and by their own family's desire and virtue.
In the past, how could the Pei family be the first in Hedong? It was nothing more than the hope and accumulation of virtue from generation to generation.
If the Pei family's own children are not angry, so that the family is defeated, then Xue, Liu, Chen and other families will take advantage of the situation, but this time everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the Xie family's deliberate blame for the Pei family.
These families will only feel disgusted by the Xie family, and their tricks will not be liked by most people.
Moreover, funding these Wenzhou refugees, although it will cause the major clans to lose money, can keep the vitality of Wenzhou and even the foundation of Hedong, so that they can grow and reproduce their own families.
If the people of a place are not able to make a living, what does it mean that no matter how big the family is, this place will be great?
Since he is a family, he naturally has to be more responsible than ordinary people and ordinary officials. These truths, the family of Hedong knows too well!
So these reasons are not enough to get them to make a move, then there is the simplest reason.
The Xie family is far away in Jingzhao, and their hands have already reached out to Hedong to deal with the big clan.
The Pei family is the first in Hedong, and the Xie family dares to do this, so what about the other families?
The major families exist in the world, and they have their own choices and tendencies, and it is difficult to guarantee that when they do not face the Xie family in the future, maybe they will be like the Pei family in the future.
They don't want their family to be taken for some reason.
According to what Liu Dongqing, the head of the Liu family, taught his children, that is, "If the Liu family doesn't make a move, then it's really stupid." ”
Xie Li didn't understand, so none of the methods he thought of to deal with the Pei family worked.
The Pei family didn't seem to know what he was planning behind his back, and they didn't send it to observe the embassy at all, and this forbearance skill made Xie Lishi's heart furious.
At this time, Xie Lishi received an invitation from Xue, Liu, and Chen, and invited him to Qianhui Tower for a banquet.
Xie Li Shi didn't know who the owner of Qianhui Building was, but he must have nothing to do with these clans. What are these three invitations for?
Xie Lishi thought to himself, most of these three families are here to speak for the Pei family. After all, such a thing needs to have a clear outcome.
After thinking about it, he still went to Qianhui Tower to make an appointment.
To his surprise, there was no Pei Guang in Qianhui Building. If there is no Pei Guang at this banquet, then how can these three families reconcile and observe the contradictions between the embassy and the Pei family?
Halfway through the banquet, Xie Li finally knew why these three families invited him.
These three families are not here to speak for the Pei family, but to threaten him!
"Time is really fast, it has been almost a year since Lord Xie became the Hedong Observation Envoy. When Lord Zhao left, he was very reluctant. Now I just think that Master Xie won't leave so soon. Liu Dongqing poured wine for him and said with a smile.
Xue Chongzhi immediately picked up a sentence: "Liu Jun's words are wrong, how can there be an immovable official position in this world? Lord Xie said yes, right?"
Xie Lishi's face suddenly became very ugly. These two people dare to talk like this?! I don't care about him, a three-grade observer!
Chen Xiandao said with a smile: "Lord Xie, we just want to live in peace, if Lord Xie wants to stir up the wind and rain in Hedong, then we can't cooperate!"
As soon as these words fell, Xie Lishi's ugly face suddenly dissipated, he smiled slightly, and said: "You guys are laughing, since this official is the observer of Hedong, no matter what he does, it is for the good of Hedong. ”
Doesn't the threat of these people prove that they are afraid? On the contrary, he is not afraid at all.
There are people in his court, and the position of observer must be secure, so what is he afraid of?
He is not afraid, but some people are afraid to death! )
PS: Thank you! Over the years, I have been thinking about the problem of the family, maybe now everyone is an only child, everyone knows about the family, but there must be very few families. I often wonder what is the essence of a thriving family, people, or some beliefs? I don't know. Recommend a book "The Woman Arrives", Author: Xiao Concentration, Introduction: Su Yuzhu died with the enemy, and it was quite enjoyable.
Before she died, she only wanted the next life, and she must say what she wants to say, do what she wants to do, go where she wants to go, and save the people she wants to save according to her mood.
Then she was born again......
Hey, she's talking about the afterlife, not rebirth!
