After Sun Jie surrendered, officials of all sizes in Qi County consciously found an example, and without saying a word, they surrendered one after another. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info In this way, the entire Qi County was regarded as really falling into the hands of the Shangdang Xu family.

The generals were overjoyed and asked for orders, claiming that the order in the city was not yet completely stable, and they were willing to "rectify the order".

Everyone knew in their hearts that the so-called "rectification of order", but a slightly more elegant statement, could not hide their desire to loot things and take the opportunity to gain some benefits for themselves and their subordinates. Anyway, as long as you don't hurt the descendants of those big families, don't snatch those things that are priceless and will make the owner crazy, take away any jade pendants, Jingying, and even carry away one or two beautiful girls, it's no problem at all. After all, Qi County has just fallen, and the big and rich families are panicking, and they don't know what the future holds, how can they have conflicts with the ruler who just occupied the city for the sake of something outside their bodies?

Seeing that although his subordinates didn't say anything, they also faintly wanted to go, Xu Hui thought for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and said to Xu Pan, who let Sun Jie loosen his ties: "Third uncle, I want to see the county chronicles of Qi County and many classics. ”

When Xu Pan heard this, he immediately turned around and asked Sun Jie: "The county records and classics of Qi County are all there?" ”

Sun Jie was very curious about Xu Hui, but because Xu Pan was too fierce and protective of his calves, he didn't dare to look at his niece in front of him, but he couldn't help nodding: "Yes, it's here." ”

"Okay, you send someone to clean up a clean, bright, sunny and quiet house, and let people sweep all those things and move them over." Xu Pan said loudly, he had no respect for the scholars and the county order, anyway, he was already arrogant, and naturally he would not take into account the feelings of outsiders he didn't like.

Hearing their conversation, Xu Heng also came over and volunteered: "I'll go too!" ”

Hearing his nephew say the same, Xu Pan frowned slightly, glanced at his nephew deeply, and said helplessly for a while: "Okay, you go too." ”

For Xu Heng, the three older men of the Xu family in the party all had great expectations for him. Xu Pan has no children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he treats his eldest nephew as half a son, he naturally hopes that Xu Heng will have more contact with the soldiers, so that the soldiers will obey Xu Heng as a person, rather than the identity of "the heir of the Xu family of the Shangdang".

However, Xu Pan also knew in his heart that the scholars valued literature over martial arts, liked to clean up and dislike turbidity, and even held many official positions with heavy power but complicated affairs, all of which were regarded as "turbid officials" by the scholars, and they would not touch it at all, even if they did it for a year and a half, it was for fun, to experience life, and to have a conversation in the future.

The family surnamed Bei has made great efforts to get closer to the family surnamed Qiao and the family surnamed Wu, and the bad habits have naturally been learned, Xu Heng is under the teaching of Xu Ze, although he does not have so many bad tempers, and he is faintly heavy on literature and light on martial arts, there are still some ...... Not to mention Xu Heng, even his father Xu Yun and sister Xu Hui also have this problem? It's just that Xu Hui wanted to be recognized by others and seized every opportunity, so he didn't show it.

Besides, even if it is Xu Pan himself, who is good at martial arts, he has lived a long time with low self-esteem because he is not good at reading, and he was relieved under Xu Ze's explanation?

Thinking like this, the worries in Xu Pan's heart disappeared, and he instead instructed the generals not to act too much, but he didn't know that Xu Hui and Xu Heng, who had read the county records, household registration, land deeds and other objects, looked at each other head-on, and were extremely worried in their hearts.

"I heard my grandfather say that the place south of the Yangtze River is the same as the scene in Taiyuan today. I only said that my grandfather exaggerated and didn't believe it, but when I saw it today, I realized that what he said was true. Xu Heng flipped through the population records of Qi County, sneered for a moment, and said, "I thought that the squires and heroes in Taiyuan would be like us in the party, at most three or four out of ten of the land in the county, but I never thought that the land that was really left in the hands of the people would not be a single hundred. ”

Xu Hui didn't expect that the family in Qi County would be so strong, the fields and mountains outside the county were almost all theirs, and the real population of Qi County was twice as much as the household registration. In addition to guarding the barren dry land and some people who have to pay heavy taxes, there are only hunters who live in dangerous mountains and forests and are infested by tigers and leopards from time to time.

Thinking of this, Xu Hui said worriedly: "Qi County is like this, other counties in Taiyuan will not be bad, what are these big families, squires, heroes and even families, brother, you have just seen it, if you don't weaken their power, it will be a big disaster in the future." But Taiyuan looks like this, if it is cut less, it will not work, if it is weakened a lot...... Will it chill the scholars? ”

Her words just asked the most critical point, and also talked about Xu Heng's heart.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the situation of cloth clothes and prime ministers was sought by the Han people, and it was also liked by the people of their families. If possible, who has won the world, who doesn't want his subordinates to be helpless, and must follow him to have a way to live? But at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the situation was special - the Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms not long ago, the foundation was unstable, and many "cloth clothes" were actually descendants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and they all had knowledge and talent...... Scholars are mostly scholars of the family, and Hanmenzi has received a lot of education in Yingchuan, and it is inevitable that he has also contracted bad diseases. If the family is cut too hard, it will naturally cause them to rebound, and even cause an uncontrollable mess.

It was precisely because they thought clearly and clearly that the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, only to feel that their mouths were full of bitterness, and most of the joy of victory was gone. After a long time, Xu Hengfang sighed: "The Great Qi Gaozu and the King of Han all started from these big families, and they ...... it."

It is true that they started with the resources of the family, enjoyed the convenience brought by the privileges, and inevitably suffered from the constraints of the family. Whether to give up convenience and take the road of encircling the Han clan to make the road ahead more difficult, or to rely on the family, which makes the road quite smooth but full of hidden dangers, is probably the choice that all people who rely on the family must face.

"Our family is not a surname of anointing sorghum, and we can't raise our arms and echo the public." After carefully considering it for a long time, Xu Hengfang said with some difficulty and obscurity, "There are not many families in the Northland, and they may not choose us to bet at the beginning, but we still ...... Don't expect these guys to be good. ”

When he said this, he chose the former, but he still had some regrets in his heart.

Hearing his brother's words, Xu Hui was relieved, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's difficult!" ”

"No matter how hard it is, it can't be harder than you." Xu Heng smiled, his expression softened a lot, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were not sitting close, he would probably habitually touch his sister's head, "You can carry it down, how can I be afraid of anything?" The big deal is to go from the pride of heaven to a prisoner in prison, and suffer humiliation; or die at the hands of others and go to the imperial power; Otherwise, for the sake of the family, you have to grovel to people and worry about your life, what is there to fear? ”

He is destined to inherit the Xu clan of the party, so he is proud, conceited, and free and easy, and he obviously has the opportunity to lower his body to envelop his subordinates, but because of this "fate", he will not do it. But it is this young man who is so proud that he thinks that he will win, and the enemy is hard to find, and only a few young people, after choosing his own path, will sincerely say that even if he loses to nothing in the end, he will not regret it, and will not forget to comfort and encourage his sister.

The two brothers and sisters are warm and affectionate, and their relationship is getting better and better, and some of the small, nonexistent mustards have also gone a lot. At the same time, the two brothers and sisters on Jinyang's side quarreled because of the decision made by their brother.

"Wenhe, you say, why doesn't Luan'er understand me?" After sending off his sister-in-law, Dou Kai rubbed his head tiredly, and complained to his confidant Tang Ru, "Her husband's family is in Yangyi, and it is not her husband and son who are in Yangyi, even if Yangyi falls, she can be safe in Jinyang." For a group of people who are not related to her, she quarreled with my brother, and asked me to go out with the only cavalry I had at hand to help Chiyangyi, completely ignoring Dou Ming and a group of old immortals who were still eyeing my position...... She didn't want to think about it, if the Taiyuan County Guard changed someone, how could she have such a good life? ”

I have to say that Xu Hui's strategy of deliberately letting Dou Cheng go has been a great success.

Dou Kai's three sons-in-law, only like the youngest one, I feel that Dou Cheng is very much like himself regardless of appearance, courage or heart, and because of his wife Li's eccentricity, he always feels that his youngest son Dou Cheng should be the future heir.

He is not a scholar in the first place, and his etiquette is just to draw a gourd in the same way, like a scholar, and his way of the elders and young is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In his heart, he, Lao Tzu, decided to leave things to whom, that was a matter of course, and no one else could ask. Although for the sake of Dou Cheng's death and his own assertions, he will beat Dou Cheng severely regardless of his wife's obstruction, scolding the other party as a "evil animal", but in his heart he is infinitely happy that Dou Cheng can come back alive. Who would have thought that Dou He's siblings, Dou Ming, who also held military power, took this opportunity to make trouble for Dou He, united with a group of elders, and said that he would let Dou Cheng pay for his life. Dou Kai was not allowed, and he was named "not sparing his brother's life, not caring about the clansmen, and not worthy of being the patriarch", it is not an exaggeration to say that he is in a hurry.

At such a moment, not to mention that Yangyi will be the next target of attack, even if Jinyang is in a hurry, he will not transfer the most elite troops and cavalry in his hands. Of course, it is impossible for him not to care about the lost city wall, after all, he owns the majority of the land in each county, and it is his dead man's property. Therefore, he looked at Tang Ru and pretended to be quite humble and asked, "Wenhe, in such a chaotic situation, what do you say?" (To be continued.) )
