Chapter 458: Family Council

"Family council?" Du Chen was slightly stunned, it was the first time he had heard such words, but soon, he asked, "What kind of existence is the family committee?" ”

"To put it simply, the two Wenmen of Fumen and Rokumen are not just one family, but several powerful families. If only one family is in charge of the Rokumen or the Fumen, the other equally powerful families will definitely not agree, and it will not be easy to distribute the benefits. Lin Yingnan thought for a while and said.

"In such a situation, it is necessary to set up a family committee for such a deposit. The most powerful families of Rokumen and Fukumen are all members of the family council, so it is easy to divide the benefits of their belongings! At the very least, these families will negotiate in private and will not let these families tear their faces, so over the years, although there have been small frictions between the most powerful families of Fumen and Rokumen, they are still in harmony on the surface. Lin Yingnan sneered.

Du Chen suddenly realized that there was still such a Tao here, but soon, he said with a solemn face: "According to what you said, isn't Huaxia's resources completely controlled by Lumen and Fumen?" ”

Lin Yingnan smiled slightly meaningfully and said, "What do you think? In fact, not only Lumen and Fumen, but also Shoumen also controlled some resources in China in the past. Merely...... The current Shoumen no longer has such ability. ”

Du Chen's brows furrowed, he knew that Lin Yingnan would say this, it must be related to the "turmoil" that Fengzi had mentioned, but what he didn't understand was that both Fengzi and Lin Yingnan seemed to be deliberately avoiding that matter, otherwise they would be vague!

This couldn't help but make him feel an impulse to know what really happened to Shoumen back then. But this impulse comes and goes quickly. Soon, Du Chen thought funny that he was not a detective, even if he really wanted to know what the "turmoil" was all about, I am afraid there was no way to investigate.

So he turned this impulse into a question, and asked puzzledly: "According to your words, could it be that the other families of Fumen and Lumen are fools, just letting a few of the most powerful families control the most important resources, and they don't even resist?" ”

The most powerful families in the Rokumen and Fumen are all members of the family council, while the weaker ones are unable to join this core, which creates a certain information asymmetry on the Cheng dΓΉ, which in the long run will only cause the powerful families to become stronger and the weaker families to become weaker and weaker.

In Du Chen's opinion, neither the small family of Fumen nor the small family of Lumen are fools, how can they watch this situation continue to viciously circulate?

"Hehe, you're on the point." Lin Yingnan glanced at Du Chen in surprise and continued, "In fact, of course, other families will not allow such a thing to continue to happen. So every once in a while, a purge comes. Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about purges where powerful families are kicked out of the family council by other families, and then the other families are absorbed into the family council. ”

"In other words, the members of the Fumen and Lumen family committees are not static, but the family committees are eternal." Lin Yingnan looked at Du Chen with a smile and said, "Do you understand now?" ”

Du Chen was stunned, he still didn't understand.

"Aren't you wondering at the time, how could organizations like Fumen and Rokumen have existed for thousands of years?" Lin Yingnan seemed to be able to see Du Chen's doubts, and said sharply, "A big reason is the existence of the family committee." Each family sharpened its head, desperately trying to squeeze into the family council, rather than trying to overthrow the entire system completely. ”

This creates a kind of cycle, where the once glorious family gradually declines and withdraws from the stage of history, and the family that rises again replaces the declining family, but whether it is a declining family or a rising family, they all have a common purpose, to defend the family council! Defend this system of interests. Lin Yingnan said with a smile, "Because the family committee holds a huge cake, but if the system disappears, this huge cake will also disappear with the system." ”

Du Chen was moved, could this be the secret of Fumen and Lumen that they could remain for so many years and not disappear?

"To put it more simply, a family council is like a beautiful dress or a fine antique, everybody wants to own it, and in a sense they can have it, but they definitely don't want to destroy it." Lin Yingnan glanced at the silent Du Chen and said, "Moreover, some families that used to be family committees have indeed disappeared in the long river of history, and only Fumen or Lumen will not disappear." ”

"Fukumen and Rokumen are not real things, but they are linked by one family after another. It's like a kind of writing, which has been deeply rooted in the marrow of a nation. Lin Yingnan let out a sigh, "Do you understand now?" ”

Du Chen nodded and said, "I kind of understand!" ”

The three major literary gates, whether it is Fumen Shoumen or Lumen, are just a title, and the most important thing is the different interests represented by these three major literary gates!

The interests of a class!

Lin Yingnan nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is worth mentioning that the family committee of Fumen does not have a chairmanship, and it is run by a few of the most powerful families; However, it is different from the Rokumen, which has the chairmanship of the family committee, which is rotated by several powerful families. ”

"Where's Shoumen?" Du Chen asked puzzled.

"Shoumen?" Lin Yingnan was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "Do you need to talk about this?" The current Shoumen is a word of the Yang family, who dares to disobey the Yang family? ”

When she said this, there was a thick mockery on her face. I don't know if she is mocking the Yang family or Shoumen.

Du Chen's brows furrowed, and he said: "If you say that no one has overthrown Fumen and Lumen, it is because the upper, middle and lower strata of these two Wenmen want to defend their common interests, but I don't understand this Shoumen!" ”

"What don't you understand?" Lin Yingnan was stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, Shoumen doesn't have a so-called family committee?" Du Chen didn't answer her question immediately, but looked up and asked.

Lin Yingnan nodded, Shoumen really doesn't have this thing!

"If this is the case, if there is no family committee to consolidate this collective, why should the rest of the family put up with the Yang family? They could have set themselves up as kings. Du Chen said puzzled.

The biggest difference between Shoumen and the other two Wenmen is that Shoumen does not have a sense of belonging.

Lin Yingnan smiled and said, "Don't you know that in addition to common interests, there is something that can defend the existence of a circle?" ”

"What's that?" Du Chen hurriedly asked.

"Strength!" Lin Yingnan said without thinking.

Du Chen's face showed a thoughtful look.

But Lin Yingnan obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore, and soon yawned and said, "Oh, the old lady is tired, and she talked so much nonsense to you on a whim." ”

As she spoke, she stood up.

Du Chen hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" "I still have a lot of questions to solve, why is she leaving?

"I'm sleepy, of course I'm going to sleep." Lin Yingnan said as soon as he copied it like this.

"But there are still a lot of questions I don't understand." Du Chen said angrily, how can there be such a thing, halfway through the words, I won't go on!

"Oh, anyway, it's going to be a long time in the future, I'll tell you slowly." Lin Yingnan said with a smile, "Besides, after you study all these problems clearly, what will you study in the future?" Right? ”

Du Chen: "......"

However, Lin Yingnan's attitude was very resolute, she really didn't want to say it if she didn't want to say it, so she soon left Du Chen with a back and walked upstairs slowly.

Du Chen sat on the sofa with a pensive face, and I have to say that Lin Yingnan's words today have unveiled the tip of the iceberg of Fumen and Lumen and even Shoumen for him!

In the past, he simply thought that these three major literary sects could span such a long time and still stand, and it was completely maintained by one of the families.

But now he knew that it wasn't like that at all. Even, it is not an exaggeration to say that the family of the Fumen Committee a hundred years ago may not be left now!

Fumen Lumen or Shoumen is more important than a symbolic meaning, if there is not always a huge cake, I am afraid that these three major Wenmen would have fallen apart long ago!

"Bell bell bell"

Just when Du Chen was thinking wildly, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he took out the phone, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

He was slightly stunned, but he still answered the phone and asked, "Hello." ”

"Hehe, Dean Du, we haven't seen each other for a while, you're so polite!" A nervous laugh soon came over the phone.

Du Chen was stunned at first, and then became ecstatic!

Widow Sun!

Can't go wrong, that nervous laugh is her signature! He never expected Widow Sun to call him, and he even thought that he would not see her for a long time.

Soon, Du Chenhui asked calmly, "Why did you remember to call me?" He was still a little angry at the woman for not saying goodbye.

"Hehe, can't I call you if it's okay?" Widow Sun said with a smile, "In that case, then I still won't annoy Dean Du!" ”

Having said that, she didn't hang up the phone, as if she was waiting for Du Chen to keep her!

Du Chen did what she hoped to do, and when she heard this, Du Chen hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, where are you now?" ”

"Kyoto!" Widow Sun laughed, but not the nervous laughter of the past, but more like a heartfelt laughter.

Although Du Chen didn't see Widow Sun's face, he firmly believed in this!

Widow Sun really laughed!
