The danger of the family has been undoubtedly revealed as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising, but then it was more because of the mutual attack between the family gate valves. The politics of the family reached its peak in the early period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Or the imperial power is strong, then you can gather the power of the family for your own use, into a lifetime of fame, if the family is more powerful, you can eat the royal family, instead, the change of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, most of them are also because of this reason.

With the passage of time and the suppression of the family in the past dynasties, the role and influence of the family at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties are obviously no longer comparable with those years, otherwise some children of the poor family, such as the hussar general Xiao Maha, will not have a chance to rise.

But "a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff", the family has accumulated for hundreds of years, of course, it is impossible to become really vulnerable because of the intermittent suppression and weakening of the imperial court, and the family that is really large and good at controlling the direction of the wind still has strong financial resources and political influence, such as the Wenxi Pei family who was active in the northern and southern dynasties, and the Wu family of Qinjun who have been in the gate for generations are still powerful families.

Li Xinchen also knows how harmful the family is, and the provocation and threat to the imperial power are secondary, and curbing the emergence of the children of the poor family is the most important thing, after all, the inheritance of the imperial power is not mainly about how powerful the emperor is, but how many people can be used by the royal family rather than the family.

But at least at this stage, Li Xinchen still has to rein in the family, at least the family can let Li Xinchen gain more powerful power in a short period of time, so that Li Xinchen can gain a firm foothold in Ba County as soon as possible, and even completely break away from the dependence on Nan Chen and achieve semi-independence in governance.

If the family is a cup of poison, then Li Xinchen can only "drink to quench his thirst".

After all, when Yuwentai and Li Yuan, the later Tang Gaozu in history, were able to establish their own dynasty, they actually relied on the family and the gate valve, and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty were basically the symbols of the Guanlong Gate Valve Group and the Shandong Gate Valve Group.

And at least now all the Bashu family wants is to be able to have a place under Li Xinchen, and Li Xinchen will certainly not refuse the money and talents sent to the door.

There are always people who say that the family system hinders the promotion of the children of the poor family, but in fact, among the hundreds of children of the poor family, there may be only one or two who can become talented in the end, and among the hundreds of children of the family, there are twenty or thirty who can become talented. After all, compared to the talent and self-education of the children of the poor family, the systematic education of the family is obviously more able to produce middle-class talents, at least in a short period of time, to provide Li Xinchen with more talents to maintain his actual control over Ba County.

Li Xinchen strode up to Feilu, the sound of killing in the distance on the Bajun city shook the sky, the banners of Nan Chen and the Northern Zhou moved back and forth along the city wall, obviously the besieging Nan Chen army had easily occupied the city wall with only corpses due to the reason that the siege equipment opened the way, but it seemed that Zhang He didn't want to be captured, his flag was still fluttering on the city tower, not moving an inch.

"This Zhang He is also a man." Li Xinchen sneered.

And Tang Qi next to him said with a smile: "This Zhang Tingshi has worked hard for so long, of course, he is reluctant to give up his life's work. ”

As soon as he said this, the young people around him smiled knowingly.

Tang Qi's words were clearly full of ridicule, and all the people present were the families who were suppressed by Zhang He - in fact, in order to allow the Qianwei Zhang family to dominate in Ba County, Zhang He and the rest of the family had more or less festivals, otherwise it would be impossible for these people to gather next to Li Xinchen in such unity.

Because they have the same goals as Li Xinchen at least at this stage.

The easiest thing to be friends with is the enemy of your enemies.

And as the drumbeat became more and more intensive, the banner of Zhang He on the head of Bajun City suddenly fell, and then a red battle flag fluttered on the city tower.

The surrounding family disciples subconsciously glanced at each other, although they knew that there was an absolute gap in strength between the two sides, and it was difficult to compare in morale and equipment, but it was indeed unexpected to take down Ba Jun so quickly.

In any case, Ba County is one of the best cities in the entire Bashu, so easily taking Ba County, doesn't it mean that the rest of the cities are as fragile as a window paper in front of Li Xinchen?

Suddenly, Dong Mingzhi and the others felt that their trip to Ba County was quite worthwhile.

"Let's go, let's go into the city!" Li Xinchen laughed.

Everything is under control, including the reactions of these family children.

This feeling of grasping the future and future by himself is really good, at least the moment Li Xinchen stepped into Bajun City, he finally had his own foundation, even if this foundation is still weak, even if this foundation may collapse at any time, but Li Xinchen is no longer a young man under the fence, but a general who has a place in the world and can command one side.

Of course, Li Xinchen is not so arrogant that he thinks that he is the king of Bajun, and the next more important thing is probably the lawsuit with the imperial court.

It is certainly a great achievement to take Ba County, but whether the court recognizes it or not has to be said.

His eyes were looking around, maybe these families could help him too.

————————————

Zhang He hanged himself on the beam of his own mansion.

When Li Xinchen strode into the hall of the mansion, Zhang He's body had been taken down, the body had lost its warmth, and Zhang He's face still had the remorse and helplessness before death.

Obviously, she also knew very well that no matter what the reason, even if it was to appease and win over the local family and people, Li Xinchen would not be able to let him live.

"See the general!" Lu Zhiwu still had specks of blood on his face - just now he led his guards straight to the city tower that Zhang He was holding, forcing Zhang He to finally retreat from the city.

The city wall was broken, and even if it was a deep-walled compound, it obviously couldn't last long, so as soon as Zhang He retreated into the mansion, he directly chose to hang himself.

Li Xinchen smiled slightly: "The first to ascend is Bo Yuyi!" ”

Affirmation from Li Xinchen, Lu Zhiwu looked happy, nodded solemnly, and then turned to one side, and the guard behind him walked up with a booklet: "General Qiyu, Mrs. Zhang He handed over the account book of the Zhangjia Treasury, claiming that Zhang He was entrusted by Zhang He to seek a life for the whole family. ”

"Oh?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows and subconsciously tilted his head slightly.

Dai Cai, who followed closely behind him, and the young people of the family all showed surprised looks, obviously not expecting Zhang He to come with such a hand. Everyone knows how much money Zhang He has collected over the years, and now Zhang He's wife has handed over the most important account books and treasury so easily.

Although Li Xinchen might not be able to find the location of the ledger and the treasury if he really wanted to ask and search, Li Xinchen could not ignore the Zhang family's positive attitude of surrendering and admitting defeat and cooperating with the investigation, and he even had to encourage his enemies to do so.

Glancing at Zhang He lying on the ground, Li Xinchen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Zhang He is really a smart person." ”
