After Chen Deng died in Guangling, he was taken back to be buried outside the city of Xiapi.

The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, it is naturally pathetic, looking at Chen Qi, who is not more than fifty, but is already old, like Chen Qi, who is about to die with his peers, the grievances of the past, Chen Mo really has no heart to continue to investigate, even if it is in Chen Deng's face, Chen Mo is impossible to pursue the grievances of the previous generation.

"Uncle, now that the Central Plains has been decided, I want to move the Chen family to Luoyang, what does my uncle think?" Next to Chen Deng's tomb, after Chen Mo respectfully worshiped Chen Deng, he turned his head to look at Chen Qi.

At present, Chen Mo is already a very popular minister, but because of this, he needs help even more, regardless of any grievances in the past, but when Chen Mo really comes to this point, he needs the talents of the family to help him, or to help the next generation, the power of the clan to check and balance other forces, as long as there are many talents in the clan, even if Chen Mo is not there one day, his son will not be unavailable.

If there is another talent like Chen Deng in the Chen family, it is naturally the best, even if there is not, as long as there is someone who can use it, the Chen family can be regarded as a century-old family, and the family style and heritage are still okay, of course, there should be no less, Chen Mo wants to use the clan power to balance the Shi clan, but in the same way, the clan power must be a vassal of Chen Mo's branch, which is the premise.

Chen Qi turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo, although he didn't say it explicitly, but people are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, what does Chen Mo mean, Chen Qi naturally understood, after thinking for a while, Chen Qi said slowly: "How is Bodao going to settle it?" ”

"The Chen family will have private learning, and of course, the academy run by the imperial court will also go to continuously cultivate talents for the Chen family to strengthen my clan." Chen Mo muttered [567 Chinese] and said, "It is also the heritage of my Chen clan. ”

"In this way, Bodao is not afraid of strong branches and weak cadres?" Chen Qi asked rhetorically, the younger generation of the Chen family, after Chen Deng's death, Chen Mo is undoubtedly the best, and even if Chen Deng is not dead, Chen Mo is still the best, but it cannot guarantee the next generation, the next generation is the same, the chaos of the clan has existed since ancient times, and it is not just happened in the royal family, but also the alternation between ordinary family descendants, as if now, Chen Mo has actually overwhelmed the Chen family's lineage and become the Chen family descendant in the real sense.

"Uncle said this, just know that I will be prepared, and even if there is a day, it will be the will of heaven, and in each generation, the best children must take the position of the head of the family, so that my Chen family can grow stronger and stronger." Chen Mo smiled.

"Bodao can have such a mind, the old man will rest assured, the younger brother of the Chen family can move to Luoyang with Bodao, but the old man will not go." Chen Jue nodded, sighed and said: "The old man has been here in Xuzhou all his life, he is old, and his homeland is difficult to leave. ”

Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng's grave, nodded silently and said, "The patriarchal law has to be changed." ”

The patriarchal law of the Chen family serves the family, but in the future, the Chen family will be in charge of the world, so the patriarchal law will change.

Chen Jue turned his head, looked at Chen Mo seriously, and said, "There are some things that should not be rushed. ”

"It's just preparation, and the change will change slowly, but the law has to have a charter first, and then implement it step by step." Chen Mo nodded, he naturally knew this truth, anything but things involving the laws of the ancestors could not be moved lightly, let alone recklessly, and he did not want to be embarrassed internally and externally.

"You're coming back this time to get the clan rights?" Chen Jue didn't persuade him again, he knew very well that a heroic figure like Chen Mo would be difficult to change once he made up his mind.

"Worship your ancestors, and worship your brothers." Chen Mo shook his head, come back? This is my first time here, how can it be regarded as a return? But the clan rights, he must get them.

"Before Yuanlong left, he trained 20,000 elite soldiers in Guangling, and he resisted Sun Ce's entry into the Kou many times, and my Chen family has always had the current status in Xuzhou, relying on these 20,000 elite soldiers, and now that you are here, it will be handed over to you to be in charge, with them, at least Guangling can be protected from being invaded by Sun Ce." Chen Jue nodded, didn't say anything more, just handed over the private soldiers in the clan, which also represented his attitude.

Chen Mo nodded, this is exactly what he wants, other things can be discussed, but the military power must be in his own hands, the 20,000 private soldiers of the Chen family can be said to be the largest force in the entire Xuzhou, no wonder Cao Cao is quite tolerant of the Chen family even if he has Xuzhou, Guangling Chen's family, Langya Zangba, are the two major local forces on the boundary of Xuzhou, and even stronger than the Cao army's strength in Xuzhou.

Now that he has taken over the Central Plains, the forces that do not belong to the imperial court in this place have to be eradicated little by little.

Chen Mo helped Chen Qi into the carriage and went all the way down, on the way, Chen Mo asked some opinions on governing Xuzhou, compared to other states and counties, Xuzhou is easier to control.

First, Chen Mo himself is a person from Xuzhou, whether he is close or not, his hometown, the people of Xuzhou have enough psychological identity with Chen Mo, and secondly, the Chen family's influence in Xuzhou is too great, especially after the wealthy merchants of the East China Sea left with Liu Bei, Chen Deng was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling, and Chen Qi was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, and now Chen Mo has taken over the position of patriarch, and it is natural that he is in charge of Xuzhou. These people themselves are the forces that support Chen Mo.

However, how to govern Xuzhou, Chen Qi's opinion Chen Mo still attaches great importance to it, after all, Chen Qi has served as the assassin of Xuzhou in Xuzhou for many years, when Cao Cao fought with Tao Qian and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, the former rich land, was beaten and dilapidated, these years under Chen Qi's governance, Xuzhou has gradually recovered its vitality, the court is lawful, but different situations have to be treated separately, Xuzhou is like this.

"I know that Bodao's new law is indeed beneficial to the world, but some laws and regulations are not suitable here, Bodao wants to change, and you have to think long-term, otherwise if you forcibly promote the new law in Xuzhou and even the Central Plains, it will only make the Central Plains re-chaotic, the law is nothing more than love, and I hope Bodao will consider it." Chen Jue didn't have any opinions on the governance law of Xuzhou, but just talked about Chen Mo's new law.

"Yes, indeed." Chen Mo nodded, since the occupation of Suiyang, the implementation of the new law in the Central Plains has encountered a lot of resistance, Chen Mo also had to compromise and change the new law, although the ultimate goal is that he still hopes to make the whole world have a unified law, but according to the problems encountered in the process of implementing the law in the Central Plains before, Chen Qi said that it is indeed good, this thing has to come step by step, and there are some workarounds.

Chen Mo has now begun to work on some changes to the new law, the most important of which is the inheritance law, all the father's land, property, and all heirs have the right to inherit, that is, whether the son-in-law or the concubine, they have the same rights to inherit the inheritance of their father's inheritance.

This decree is mainly aimed at the clan, many people know that this is a pit, but there is no way to oppose it, because even if the father and son-in-law refuse, the other sons will strongly support this new law, so that it is equivalent to restricting the generation of large families, unless someone is willing to give birth to only one in a lifetime, otherwise the clan power in these places is divided and weakened irreversibly.

In such an era, in order to ensure the inheritance of the bloodline, no matter which big family it is, it will choose to carry forward its bloodline and have more sons, but in this way, there is no way to break Chen Mo's decree.

Listening to what Chen Mo said, Chen Jue smiled and said, "This move is quite similar to the Tui En Order back then. ”

"Indeed, it was just that the prince was replaced by everyone." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

In this way, they invisibly obtained the support of the children of the concubines and side families from all the families, so that they could not be united, even if the descendants and the main family resisted the government, but the children of the Shu clan supported it, which was equivalent to weakening the influence of the local tyrants on the government decrees in disguise.

"What about my Chen?" Chen Qi turned his head, looked at Chen Mo, and asked a key question.

"Naturally, the same is true, except for the position of the head of the family, it can't be divided, and what can be seen is scored." Chen defaulted to the truth.

In fact, in addition to these tangible things, the intangible things such as the connections and reputation of the fathers are more valuable, but the division of property will indeed have a lot of impact on them, and if they are not careful, they may be surpassed by the concubine.

Chen Qi frowned and wanted to refute, but suddenly found that he had no way to refute.

Who is Chen's descendant now?

Chen Mo!

Although within the Chen family, they still feel that Chen Mo's branch is the main vein, but with Chen Mo's growing momentum now, especially with Chen Mo defeating Cao Cao and occupying the Central Plains, most people have unconsciously subconsciously thought that Chen Mo is the heir.

This is equivalent to Chen Mo dividing his own things, and Chen Qi has no reason to refuse.

The same is true of the Tui En Order back then, I know it's wrong, but I can't stop it, this is a conspiracy!

"Awesome!" Chen Jue couldn't help but admire.

"It's just a matter of picking up people's wisdom." Chen Mo said humbly.

"But in this way, if he goes one step further, I am afraid that no one in the world will be able to shake you." Chen Qi shook his head and said.

"Who can say what will happen in the future? Everything in this world will change, and it is difficult for you and me to say what will happen in the world in the future. Chen Mo shook his head, things in the world are always changing, his move can certainly weaken the scholarly power, but what about after the scholarly power? The center of power will never be vacant, after the decline of the power of the people, there will inevitably be new magnates in a new way, what kind of form of the power structure will be at that time, no one can say clearly, and he does not dare to guarantee that the power structure will be better than now, but at least, he is trying to explore, maybe the new political system is still not perfect, but as long as he can continue to adapt and find a solution to the problem, the world can always be maintained in a good state, this is Chen Mo's way.

The carriage slowly entered Xiapi under the protection of the guards, the purpose of the trip to Xuzhou has been completed for the most part, Chen Mo is ready to go to Langya, after inspecting the border camp, he will return to Suiyang, continue to preside over the internal affairs of the Central Plains, as for when to return to Luoyang, Chen Mo wants to wait until Cao Cao is completely pacified, and then go back after taking Qingzhou.
