Chapter 414: A King Without a King
For example, those who plant mulberries, raise silkworms, weave cloth, herd horses, and grow crops, ...... are the most humble and insignificant in the world, but what if their forces are concentrated? The family is not a court and cannot use government decrees, national laws, and the military to control the world, but it can be done in this way.
Countless ......mulberry planters, silkworm raisers, weavers, horse herders, and crop growers, each of them has an invisible silk thread that controls and controls them from top to bottom. If you open a cloth village and a silk and satin village, you will master all the people who plant mulberry, raise silkworms, and weave cloth, you will buy horses and sell horses, you will master those horse herders, and if you buy grain, transport grain, and sell grain, you will master the crops in the world.
Therefore, those who have this power do not rule over them, nor do they collect rents and taxes from them. It's not about driving them to fight for themselves. Those are the powers of the imperial court. It is through this hidden control that the family influences the imperial court through the people of the world, and then influences the world through the imperial court!
The voice of everyone in the world is too weak for the court to hear! We put their voices together, and the court can hear them! If the queen had issued a decree against the peasants of the world, if she had waited for the evil consequences of the decree to manifest itself, the world would have collapsed by then. The hungry people rioted, out of control.
And we can use the courtiers we have cultivated to raise objections in the court! If the queen still refuses to change, we can get through the fluctuation of food prices and the shortage of food. that she may know what's at stake. ”
A sneering smile flashed across the corners of Yao'er's mouth. Yoyo said: "In this way, the family pays more attention to the people's livelihood than the imperial court!" ”
Li Xianhe laughed, pointed at him and said, "You girl." You were born in the Han clan, and you are not used to looking down on us from the family, and you always feel that we are powerful and blessed, and we are the people. I knew you were going to have such cynical words! ”
Yao'er was startled, but she didn't expect her to be able to hear her ridicule, and quickly explained: "Junior......"
Li Xianhe shook his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, no need to explain." The old man lived for such a long time. What haven't you seen, what is the reason you don't understand? That's right, the family also has selfish motives. You also have to plan for yourself, but the family is integrated into the world, or it will take more advantages, but do you think it will go against the interests of the world? ”
Li Xianhe turned to Yao'er. His eyes were blazing and he said: "We have inherited it for thousands of years. There have been decay, there have been prosperity, and there are many lessons learned; We are not like the imperial court, which can override the common people through political power, so we know better than the imperial court what is beneficial to the world.
Of course, the family also has selfish intentions, but who is selfless? Is the queen unselfish or is anyone in the world unselfish? You don't? ”
Yao'er was speechless.
Li Xianhe said: "What we do is no different from what each of you does. It's enough to be able to take care of the world. You think, leave the family aside. If some children of the Han clan come up, they will have the character of being the public in the world? It will be the public in the world, and it will be impossible to leave the road unturned. If one day the family ceases to exist, will this world become a paradise? ”
Li Xianhe shook his head and said, "Maybe it won't be worse than now, but it won't be better than now." Changing a group of mud legs is just creating a new group of nobles. Whatever he turned out to be, it was impossible to go back
A poor and white person, he also has to maintain his family and establish his own power, so he needs to accumulate wealth, he needs to make contacts, these hungry ghosts are poorer and more evil than those who have eaten enough and just want to save a 'ration' for their children and grandchildren.
Li Xianhe touched his beard, glanced at Yao'er slyly, and said, "The old man will not forcibly ask you to change your mind. You are now an official, and you are about to become the Lord of Manifest Ink, and in a hundred and ten years, your children and grandchildren will also become a great family, and if you are still alive at that time, you will also be thinking about their existence and development. ”
Li Xianhe stretched out his hand, began to draw circles on the surface of the lake, and said: "In this small circle, towards your relatives; In a larger circle, he prefers to help his friends; In a larger circle, you have to take care of your fellow villagers. You are from Qi and he is from Yan, you two are fighting, I want to help Qi people; It was like this, it is now, and it will be so in the future. ”
Yao'er was speechless.
Li Xianhe smiled and said: "The family is also one of the many circles in this big trap and small circle, what is there to criticize?" Okay, back to our topic. What kind of power will you wield? Just now, the old man has already given an example with firewood, rice, oil, salt, grain, and cloth, and the same is true for other cultural and educational resources and officialdom resources!
The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible, and the real power in the world has always been hidden behind the court, invisible and intangible, but it really works. Of course, we can't influence the queen and the world in everything, and we are also subject to the balance of various forces in the world.
There are many things that we can't do either, and we only play an influential role to a certain extent. And Jimotang is to integrate the power of various families, so that our influence can be greater. Now, do you know how powerful you will be? ”
Li Xianhe explained in simple terms, and explained to Yao'er very bluntly: "Not a king, but a king!" ”
For a long time, this is the unswerving philosophy of survival pursued by the great family, which is the reason why a dynasty only has a short period of two or three hundred years of national fortune, while the family can be inherited for thousands of years. They never thought of seizing power, they were only attached to it, and they were relatively autonomous.
In order to survive better, they have to constantly provide nutrients to a regime, and at the same time absorb the nutrients they need from the regime, coexist with it, and when the life of the regime comes to an end, they abandon it and look for a "big tree" to continue to coexist and coexist.
……
It was not easy for Yao'er to listen to Li Xianhe's preaching, and she also had a preliminary understanding of the true power and role of "Jimotang". No doubt. The power held by the "Jimo Tang" was incomparable, and even the "Jimo Tang" themselves were not sure how great the effect would be if they mobilized this force with all their might.
Because this force is too great to be invisible. It has penetrated into all aspects of the national economy and people's livelihood, once the proportion is not well grasped, after the full force is launched, in what direction and to what extent it will develop, even they themselves cannot estimate, and even once it is out of control, it can no longer be controlled, so "Jimotang" has never ventured to make this attempt.
This is a huge force. It will be in her hands from now on!
Rao is Yao'er is not a person who loves power, and he can't help but feel fluttering.
……
Nerd Zheng Yu is dressed in a hunting costume and carries a bow and arrows. There is quite a clean and neat sassy and plump posture.
With dozens of guards and a few carriages, he left Lin'an City and headed south.
There was food, wine, cooking utensils and tents in the car. Look like this. He is going to Qinling to hunt, and he will not come back without three or five days of hard work.
Among the children of the family, because Zheng Yu's personality is square to the extent of almost woodenness, he has never been liked by Wang Sicong and others, who boast of being romantic, and he has always been excluded in the small circle of exchanges between the children of these families.
Although Wang Sicong and others usually meet him, they are also giggling, and there is no lack of politeness and enthusiasm, but they are really incompatible with him.
So. He was the only one on this safari with his entourage. Not even a single friend.
The convoy was far away from Lin'an City, and when it reached the foot of the Qinling Mountains, it was getting late, and the guards began to camp at the foot of the mountain.
Zheng Yu was still riding on the horse, looking at the busy guards, and it took a long time before he turned his horse and turned his head.
Behind him, two inseparable guards were standing on their horses, the bright red setting sun reflected on them, and one of the guards was bowing his head and patting his mane, and the horse turned his head and licked the back of his hand affectionately.
The other guard sat straight on horseback, out of step with his surroundings, although he was also wearing a guard's shirt, he still couldn't hide his arrogant temperament, the setting sun reflected half of his face red, and his eyes shone in the setting sun: Ouyang Yuyan! The former Lord of Ink!
Everyone thought that Ouyang Yuyan, who had fled in embarrassment at this moment, was actually here!
Qinling, shallow mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Zheng Yu turned his horse's head and said coldly: "Ouyang Prince, you can go!" ”
Ouyang Yuyan didn't think it was upset, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Zheng for your help!" ”
Zheng Yu snorted coldly and said, "I can't talk about it, it's just to repay your favor!" I wish you a safe journey! ”
Zheng Yu shook his horse's head and said, "Also, the elders have decided that Yao'er will take the position of the sect leader of the 'Jimo Hall'. If you continue to fight, it means that the families have a reason to deal with you, if you don't want the entire Ouyang family to be embarrassed by you, it's best to stop here and go back to the defense land! ”
A fierce look flashed in Ouyang Yuyan's eyes, but there was still a smile on his face: "Hehe, this matter ...... Don't worry about Brother Zheng! ”
Zheng Yu didn't speak again, and ran forward with his legs in stirrups. Only one car, six people, was left in place.
The man next to Ouyang Yuyan patted the horse's neck and raised his head lazily, it was Ouyang Yuyan's henchman Yuan Yuyun.
At the foot of the mountain, the men were busy clearing the pasture, leveling the land, setting up tents, digging stoves and pits for cooking, and all the people were busy, as if they didn't even see a car or a few people next to them, and they were standing by. Some of the cooking utensils and tents piled up on the car were carried down by several of Ouyang Yuyan's guards, and Ouyang Yuyan got off his horse and stepped into the car.
The car was very spacious, and there were already people in the car after moving all kinds of cooking utensils and tents, and there were two people in the car, a man in his thirties with a dark and thin body and sharp eyes, and a middle-aged woman with a plump body.
Ouyang Yuyan waved his hand and sat down on the couch, and the man walked out, sat down in the driver's position, and pulled out the big whip inserted next to the seat. Ouyang Yuyan took a small swaddling cloth from the middle-aged woman's hand, and looked at it carefully, there was a small baby in the swaddling clothes, only revealing a white and clean face, sleeping sweetly.
Ouyang Yuyan stretched out a finger, gently scraped the child's smooth little face, and smiled slightly.
This child is Ning Xiaozhuo's daughter.
Xiao Zhuo gave birth to a son and a daughter that day, a dragon and a phoenix, and the daughter was born first.
Pregnant with twins, it was a little more dangerous than conceiving a child, but she encountered dystocia again, and she was never able to give birth smoothly. Once a pregnant woman falls into a coma, the result will inevitably be stillborn and suffocated.
When Gu Mei saw that the general situation was not good, she had to be brave and ruthless to help the midwife, but she was also indebted to this midwife. Changing to other midwives, no matter how experienced she is, it is useless, Gu Mei practices soft bones, her hands are small and soft, her skeleton is slender, and she rescued half of the child who gave birth to her.
Gumei cut the umbilical cord and handed the child over to someone else to take to bathe. started to rescue, wanting Xiao Zhuo to wake up, at this time even she didn't know that Xiao Zhuo had a second child in her womb, and she didn't want her to just wake up Xiao Zhuo, the second child poked his head out, Gu Mei was startled, and quickly continued to be busy.
Fortunately, the second child was successfully delivered, otherwise Xiao Zhuo was afraid that he would not be able to survive, after the child was born, Xiao Zhuo's whole body strength was exhausted, and he fell asleep groggy, while Gu Mei took the child out to clean, and then went to report to Ouyang Yuyan. When Ouyang Yuyan heard that she had given birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, she was moved.
If she can negotiate with Yao'er successfully and force Yao'er to give in, Xiaozhuo and the child will return it to Yao'er, she never thought of keeping it. But after hearing that it was a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, she remembered the humiliation and anger that Shen Rendrunk brought to her when she was at the top of Huashan.
She decided to use this as a breakthrough to surprise Haruka and them!
She decided, leave the girl behind!
So, she hid the news.
Early the next morning, the families heard the news and tried to put her under house arrest. Ouyang Yuyan was arrogant, and he was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, so he immediately decided to disperse and break through. This side started to prepare, and over there she sent someone to get in touch with Zheng Yu, and the relationship between the two of them was certainly not established today.
The reason why he wanted to find Zheng Yu was because she didn't want to leave yet, she thought that as long as she sent Xiaozhuo and the child away and firmly controlled them in her own hands, Yao'er would have to be at his mercy. Yao'er hasn't left yet, how can she go? Anyway, she has a weapon in her hand: Xiao Zhuo and her son!
Unexpectedly, Yao'er did not wait for her to make conditions at home without a master, but came to the door by violent means, which forced the major families to no longer be able to hold their breath, in order to avoid being implicated and exposed, they took action with Yao'er.
Moreover, Xiao Zhuo and the child were really rescued by Shen Renzui and Yao'er, and their determination broke her confidence! (To be continued......)
