After careful questioning, it turned out that Han Dashi's family was from Shandong.

In ancient times, Shandong generally referred to the east of Kunshan Mountain, basically starting from Hangu Pass to the east, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties, Shandong generally referred to the east of Taihang Mountain.

It's a vast area, and it's one of the most disaster-prone areas. When there is a drought, it is too dry, and when it is flooded, people can drown, so there are displaced people in Shandong every year, and it is a place that makes people talk about changing color in all dynasties.

Han Dashi has been hit by disasters for three consecutive years, how can a small family resist this kind of toss? Finally, this year, they couldn't hold on anymore, and the family embarked on the road of escape in order to survive.

When he left his hometown, there were only people in the whole family, Han Dashi was carrying a child, his wife was carrying a child, and there was nothing else, so the family begged and fled the famine, and walked aimlessly towards the legendary Guanzhong.

But when he walked to the boundary of Henan Province, he was stopped by local soldiers. The soldiers did not have malicious intent, but told them a better place to escape from the wasteland, this place is Youzhou, and Han Dashi's family was persuaded to come to Youzhou.

……

Gu Tianya sighed!

Li Jiancheng also sighed.

The two brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw the discomfort in each other's eyes.

Gu Tianya stretched out his hand, holding a stick as a rolling pin, he continued to ask about the family's situation while rolling out his delicate ear skin, and said warmly, "After you came to Youzhou, how do you feel about this place?" ”

"Good!"

The loyal and honest Shandong man doesn't know all the bells and whistles, and a simple 'good' word is all his thoughts.

This man's face was full of sincerity, and he looked at Gu Tianya and said, "At that time, I had just entered Youzhou with my wife and children, and I was met by two errand officers who rode horses to patrol. There was also hot porridge in a leather bag, and I felt strong all over my body when I drank it, and at that time, I was ......"

His wife hid in the quilt and whispered, "At that time, my father cried a lot, saying that my family had finally reached a place where they could live, and at that time, our whole family was dying of hunger, and the whole family was about to freeze to death. ”

Han Dashi took over the words again, and continued, "After eating that meal, I was escorted here by two soldiers, first to register my origin, and then to receive my identity, because I have an old wound on my waist, everyone knows at a glance that I can't do hard work, so it is not smooth when I register, and several groups of errand soldiers don't want me to ......."

Gu Tianya was obviously stunned, and then his face became gloomy.

Li Jiancheng's face was not good-looking, and he said angrily, "Do you remember the numbers of those groups at that time?" ”

Han Dashi was also stunned, but this loyal man shook his head suddenly, and said hurriedly, "I don't remember, I don't remember, two nobles, I don't remember." ”

His wife hid under the covers and said, "You must not punish those officials, they have done enough and done enough." ”

The two of them pleaded for others again and again, their faces were full of sincerity, Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng glanced at each other, and they could only sigh softly.

Li Jiancheng said with feelings, "The hearts of the people are so generous. ”

Han Dashi smiled shyly and said, "We have been relieved after all, how can we do that kind of thing of revenge, this word is what it says, I heard an uncle say it when I was in my hometown." ”

Gu Tianya continued to roll out his delicate ears, and asked again intentionally or unintentionally, "Then do you have a group now?" ”

"Yes! It's one hundred and forty-three groups. ”

Han Dashi almost did not hesitate, blurted out the name of the group, this man was full of uprightness, and his tone was obviously grateful, and said, "The leader of our group is a doll who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he said that he is the eldest son of the Hu clan in Jingyang, and he also said that the leaders of other groups rarely have the identity of his son-in-law. He took over our family and was very good to our family. ”

Gu Tianya was slightly stunned, the movement of rolling the skin in his hand was a little stagnant, he turned his head to look at Ma Sanbao who was squatting on the side, and asked with a little unconfidence, "When did this happen?" Has there been a tribal of the family who has come to serve as a servant? ”

It's a pity that Ma Sanbao is obviously confused, and obviously doesn't know the details of this situation.

On the contrary, Li Jiancheng smiled, and said with a hint, "It's not a real family, it can only be regarded as just entering the stream." ”

The former prince of the Tang Dynasty paused for a moment, and then said, "The Central Plains claims to have 500 families, but in fact, there are more than 300 families, these 300 families are all over the Central Plains, and they are divided into upper, middle and lower grades according to the strength of the family, of which the top grade is the least, and there are only more than 20 in total, and there are only a little more than 70 families, and there are more than 200 families left, all of which are the lowest grade families." ”

After another pause, he continued, "Although the lower grade family doesn't sound very good, the real situation is that they enjoy great envy, because there are more than a thousand families in the Central Plains who have just entered the stream, and that is the largest cornerstone that constitutes the family faction...... For example, your concubine Tan Xiao's Tan family used to be a family that had just entered the stream, and the Jingyang Hu family that this Shandong brother just said was also a family that had just entered the stream. ”

Gu Tianya was thoughtful, nodded and said, "Just entered the stream!" ”

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning, "It's already very good to just enter the stream, which shows that this family has a great chance to be promoted to a low-grade family." In fact, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of families in the Central Plains, which is the largest part of our entire Han family's population. ”

He paused when he said this, there seemed to be a trace of hesitation on his face, and after thinking for a long time, he finally continued to speak, and said with a point: "Brother-in-law Tianya, in fact, your understanding of this matter of the family is a little biased. The reason why there are so many families in the Han people is really because it is too difficult to live. Only by holding each other together can we make a living in this world. When there are more people, we can better resist natural disasters, and when there are more people, we can help each other and help each other. ”

Gu Tianya was even more thoughtful, and nodded slowly, "And the best thing to hold together is to hold together between relatives, so that we can better play the advantages of the group." For example, a village and a village, almost all of them have the same surname, everyone lives in a group, led by a main branch, and then everyone works together to twist into a rope, and it is easier to support life than to support it alone. ”

He groaned for a moment, then added, "And as the group grows and grows, it gradually becomes a family, and the family is the prototype of the family, which is beneficial in the beginning. ”

Li Jiancheng glanced at him and said pointedly, "Even if they become a family, they can continue to be beneficial, the key is to see how to drive them and make them the backbone of the entire nation...... Brother-in-law, you are familiar with ancient and modern things, you should know that the families before the Han Dynasty were the backbone of the nation, if we work harder, we may not be able to let the current family change back to the former appearance. ”

Gu Tianya smiled!

It was as if he had understood another concept of governance.

The family is not necessarily a disaster.

The family, in the beginning, was a group of people who wanted to make a living.

The land of the Central Plains is vast, and there are thousands of such ethnic groups living in them. After all, this era is too difficult, people can only resist natural disasters when they get together, there is a famous saying since ancient times, called the imperial power can not reach the village, not the folk - >>

Autonomy, the imperial power at the most basic level may not have a strong ability to protect the ethnic groups.

It is precisely because there are ethnic groups in China that they have been sheltering the people for thousands of years. The so-called country, the country is the family, it is a small family and small clan, constituting a country covering the land of China.

Ethnicity is an indispensable cornerstone of the nation.

And the composition of the ethnic group is people, as long as they are people, they will be self-motivated, it is precisely the land of clouds that Gu Tianya is an opportunity, many families want to take off from here, especially the points exchange system he made, any family in the world wants to participate, as long as there are points, you can exchange for treasures, so the world will send people to come to Youzhou to serve as a small official in various positions.

The big family will not send a son-in-law, because the son-in-law has to take on more important things in the clan, and because of their large clan, the clan has cultivated countless talents, so they can send people at will, as long as they are sent, they are not afraid of not being able to do things.

But what about those families who have just entered the stream or even not yet?

The only person in their clan who is capable of doing things may be their son-in-law.

Li Jiancheng saw that he had an understanding, so he smiled slightly, "Now you understand, why did that Jingyang Hu clan send his sister-in-law over." ”

Gu Tianya also laughed, nodded and said, "Understood, it's to earn my points." ”

……

At this time, the night is deep, and Jiao'er has already wrapped countless people, it's time to start a fire and boil water, and then it's time to cook Jiao'er in the pot.

It is said that cooking should be a woman's job, but for some reason, Han Dashi's wife has been shrunk in the quilt and can't come out, and the two children are also shrunk in the quilt.

Gu Tianya quickly knew the reason.

I only heard the woman full of shyness, and said in a low voice, "Nobleman, the slave family has no pants to wear, it's too cold, and my man needs to find work outside, so, so, let him wear ......"

Just this sentence, Gu Tianya let out a long sigh.

He understands!

The family was so poor that the family did not have a winter coat to protect them from the cold, so the wife and children did not wear pants, but took off several pairs of pants for the men to wear.

After the man wears the pants of the whole family, he can barely resist the cold and go out, and then find a job to earn money to support the family.

Gu Tianya understood this truth, but Gu Tianya still felt very sour in his heart.

Han Dashi looked at him with a gloomy face from the side, thinking that he was going to be angry with those officials again, so this loyal Shandong man hurriedly spoke, and hurriedly defended others, "Nobleman, don't blame our team leader. There are so many people to take care of, and the pressure on him is greater than ours. ”

Gu Tianya turned his head to look at him and asked gently, "How many people are in your group now?" ”

Han Dashi did not hesitate to speak, and hurriedly said, "Forty-six families, two hundred and twenty-seven." ”

Gu Tianya immediately asked, "Is there anything that doesn't need relief?" ”

Han Dashi sighed and said bitterly, "Our team leader's financial resources are not good, and he can't compete with other groups, so all he receives is abject poverty...... Almost every family in the other groups has strong laborers, so they can start to develop quickly, and they can earn money both for work and work. But in a group like ours, there are basically people in the family who are sick and some are old and weak, so most of the time they rely on the group leader to support them. ”

The man paused as he spoke, and suddenly pointed to a small stool placed next to the bed, which was used as a cooking table, and on which were four cakes rested.

Han Dashi pointed to the four cakes, and there was an indescribable gratitude in his tone, and said, "Have you seen it, noble, this is my family's relief today." No matter how difficult it is for us to be the leader of the group, he has never cut off the relief of any family in the group. He's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old doll, but he's more ruthless than us. He said that he was here to do great things, he wanted to make contributions to the family, and he wanted us all to live. Only if we survive can he get a good rating...... But he also said that he was just here for ratings, but now he doesn't care about ratings, because all he wants is to make our lives ......"

Gu Tianya exhaled deeply.

He turned his head to look at Ma Sanbao, as if inexplicably asked, "One group, forty-six families, with two hundred and twenty-seven people, this seems to be overstaffed." ”

Ma Sanbao was slightly stunned, then quickly shook his head, and said, "There is no overnumbering, there is still a big gap from the regulations you set." When you first proposed to accept the rules, the maximum population of each group was 500. ”

Gu Tianya glared at him and said, "I didn't take into account the specific situation at that time, I thought that the little officials who came to Youzhou were all from big families, but now I have found out that many families who have just entered the stream or even have not yet entered the stream have also come." The strength of these families is not strong, how can it be determined according to the situation of the big clan? ”

He paused, sighed and said, "For example, the leader of Han Dashi's family, how much support can that child's family give him even if he empties his family funds?" If, in order to achieve the assessment task of feeding 500 families, that child takes the lead and accepts 500 families like others, won't it harm the people and the child's family......

Ma Sanbao was speechless, and only after a long time did he cautiously say, "Didn't we plan to do so in the first place?" You pay points as a reward, and the world's family pays materials to help you support the people. Nowadays, in order to earn points, almost all of the officials in Youzhou City rely on their own financial resources to help the people in the group. ”

Gu Tianya shook his head slowly, and said solemnly, "This is a last resort, if it goes on like this, it will definitely not work." This kind of development strategy is too deformed, and it will turn the Land of the Clouds into a dead land......"

Ma Sanbao obviously didn't understand.

But Li Jiancheng nodded solemnly on the side.

Gu Tianya suddenly stood up, said goodbye to Han Dashi's family with a smile, "Jiao'er is wrapped, it's time to cook, I originally wanted to have a meal at your house, but I suddenly have some very important things to deal with, so let's leave a word of blessing...... Chinese New Year, Happy New Year, I hope your family's life is slowly prosperous, and I hope that the future of the two children will be healthy and healthy......"

Han Dashi was stunned there, and only after a long time did he think about getting up and keeping it, and hurriedly said, "You brought the meat, and you also brought the noodles, why, why don't you stay and eat ......"

Gu Tianya smiled mildly and said, "I'm not bad for this meal, you eat better than me." ”

On the other side, Li Jiancheng also got up, and also said goodbye: "Brother Dashi, stay back, you remember to close the door when we leave." Today is the Chinese New Year, and you can't let your wife and children shrink under the covers, but they... Alas... They don't have any clothes for the time being, and if we stay here, it will prevent them from coming out, so we won't stay with your family for the New Year. I would also like to leave a word of blessing to wish you a prosperous future next year......"

While talking, he went out with Gu Tianya.

Later, Ma Sanbao chased him out, but he returned to the door and said to Han Dashi, "Before dawn tomorrow at the latest, I will send someone to send some clothes over." But now you can show me the direction, which house the leader of your group lives in......"

This guy is worthy of being the first retainer of the Gu family, and he has already understood Gu Tianya's desire to meet the sister-in-law of the Hu family in Jingyang.
