In the past few days, the weather has become cold, and the charcoal stove in the house is also burning, and it feels cold and damp when walking outside.

Xiao Hui brought a few younger sisters to greet An Ning, and when she entered the house, the five hot girls all took off their big clothes, and sat and talked to An Ning in small jackets and single pants.

Xiao Yin was wearing a pea-green jacket, sitting next to An Ning with her hair half scattered at this time, she ate several pieces of dim sum as soon as she entered the room, and she was drinking the juice freshly squeezed by Chunxing and the little girl.

She drank and talked to An Ning: "Mother, I heard that my brother and sixth uncle went to Jiangnan and brought back a lot of hermits, and they also set fire to the Zhang family's Zhuangzi, I don't understand why you let them do this, you didn't beat and scold the people of the Zhang family, nor did you ask for a life for his family, but just brought people back, which doesn't seem to cause much harm to the Zhang family." ”

Xiao Fu also looked at An Ning, and they couldn't understand why An Ning did this, and they mobilized several big ships just for this?

An Ning smiled and touched Xiao Yin's head: "Then let me ask you, what is the foundation of the family?"

Xiao Yin raised her hand: "I know this, it is the monopoly of knowledge, the family has a lot of books that people outside can't buy, they can learn a lot of things." ”

An Ning shook his head: "You didn't talk about the fundamental problem, knowledge is one thing, but it is not the real fundamental. ”

This made the five girls a little puzzled.

Xiao Hui asked, "Mother, what is it?"

An Ning gave a plate of dried fruits to each of the girls: "It's land and people." ”

Belch?

What does that mean?

An Ning explained with a smile: "When the dynasty was first established, it was the time of land redistribution, and at that time, almost everyone could get some land, plus light labor, so the people's life was better, and they could have a period of prosperity, but with the development, the land annexation became more and more serious, and slowly, the land will return to the hands of those in power, and the people's life will become more and more difficult. ”

Xiao Yi scratched his head: "However, our family can't move the Zhang family's land back." ”

An Ning took a sip of water to moisten his throat: " That's why I want to get all the people of his family, the fundamental one of the family's foothold is the land, the other is the people, every big family, will occupy a lot of land in a certain place, and these lands will also breed a lot of people, the family in order to pay less taxes, will use a large number of hidden households, because these people do not have a household registration, so, do not have to pay taxes, most of the materials they produce will be owned by the family, in addition, these people live on the land of the family for generations, they have become the private property of the family, when there is a conflict, they will also be organized to become strong men, or fight with other families, or Wu Zhuang protects the property of the family, it is precisely because of these people that the government where the family is located will have a headache for these families, and there is no way to take them, because there are too many people in their name, and if the government is forced to be ruthless, the family will organize people to teach the government a lesson......"

An Ning said a lot in one breath, and carefully told the girls in the family about the foundation of the family and the battles between the Shangguan Mansion and the gentry in many places.

Xiao Yin thoughtfully: "That's why my mother took the Zhang family's Zhuang family away, and asked my brother to set fire to the Zhuang Zi." ”

An Ning nodded and smiled heartily.

Later, the other four girls also understood what was going on.

The Zhang family has operated in Gusu for many generations, so naturally there will be some relatives, and of course, they also have enemies.

Because there are too many Zhangjiazhuang households, whether it is the government or the enemy, they will weigh it when they target the Zhang family, and some small families will not dare to deal with the Zhang family.

However, An Ning took people away directly, the Zhang family lost so many villagers, and all the villages became empty, which not only delayed a lot of work, delayed farm work, and reduced the harvest a little, but it is not important, the important thing is that the Zhang family has no manpower, and those who hate them can take the opportunity to seize the Zhang family's land.

Anyway, there is no one on your Zhuangzi, so I will organize someone to snatch the Zhuangzi over.

In addition to robbing Zhuangzi, what scares the Zhang family the most now is that there will be small families who will organize to plunder the resources of the Zhang family and attack the Zhang family's main family and ancestral property.

After all, there is a lot of chaos everywhere now, and even the government is also doing some inaction, at this time, whoever has someone under his hands can be invincible.

The same is true for the Maison.

There is another one, now the prefect of Gusu and the Zhang family have some disagreements, and the Zhang family has bullied the prefect in the prefect earlier.

Now the last fire in Zhangjia Zhuangzi told the government that there were other families in the government, and the Zhang family had an accident.

Yu Governor is afraid that he will also take the opportunity to fall into the ground, he will definitely grasp the problem of the Zhang family hiding the hidden household to attack, will send troops to raid the Zhang family, and will charge the Zhang family with a lot of crimes.

The current Zhang family is a tiger without minions, everyone wants to take a bite, everyone wants to beat it.

In this way, the government has raided it, and there are families robbing it, and the Zhang family can't last long.

Don't say anything about the lack of people can buy again.

Is it really so easy for people to buy at the moment?

Moreover, how many Zhuangzi does the Zhang family have, which Zhuangzi does not have hundreds of households, and some big Zhuangzi even hides thousands of people, where do you buy such people?

Aren't you afraid that you won't succeed in buying someone, but you will attract thieves to your family?

If you really recruit a group of homeless people to come in, I'm afraid that those homeless people will be able to kill the master of the Zhang family and occupy the Zhang family's territory by themselves.

The five girls gradually thought of this, and looked at An Ning with adoring little eyes.

An Ning said with a smile: "The family is not just a monopoly of knowledge, they only have so many books, but they do not have the power to protect the books, just like a three-year-old child holding gold on the street, it will soon be snatched up, we want to fight him, naturally we have to strike at the root, now the Zhang family is afraid that it will be chaotic a long time ago, maybe there are already some families or rich families who look at the Zhang family unpleasantly in the whale swallowing the Zhang family." ”

"Then should we add another fire, let's print more books and send them to Jiangnan to sell, so that those families can no longer monopolize knowledge?"

Xiao Yin asked.

An Ning smiled and shook his head: "This is not good for us, we must print more books, but, we don't send them to Daqi to sell, your father and I mean that we build a library of books, in the future, we carefully collect books, all collected, will print out a lot of books and put them in the library, the library is open to the public, as long as we are the people of Nanyi, as long as they are literate, they can come to see, here not only collects a subset of scriptures and history, but also collects agriculture, arithmetic, business, engineering, geographical travelogues, Monster books and other kinds of books, if you think it's good, you want to take it back to read, take the books home, you must pay a deposit, you can only bring a few books at a time, you can't bring more, in addition, the library will also provide pen, ink, paper, inkstone......"

The more An Ning said, the brighter Xiao Yin's eyes became.

"Mother, if there are many kinds of books in our library, it will attract Jiangnan students to come, and slowly, we Nanyi will no longer lack talents. ”

Yin'er is right. ”

An Ning boasted: "Our people in Nanyi are now living a prosperous life, but there is a lack of scholars, and now we not only want to attract people from all over the world to settle down, but also attract scholars to come." ”
