It started yesterday afternoon and continues after noon today. For a full ten hours, the heads of this group of big families slept for an hour or two. So when Guan Yi announced the dismissal of the meeting and everyone came out of the Great Sima Mansion, they all felt exhausted.

Walking to the street of Chang'an, being blown by the cold wind on the street, everyone's spirit was slightly better. Then the heads of the families invariably turned their inquiring eyes to the Zhang family's family, advocating Yin and Zhang Zisheng.

This is a very normal reaction: Yongliang family, not to mention that many of everyone's ancestors were raised by Zhang Ji in the past, if according to the rules of the inspection system, everyone is the protégé of the Zhang family. Let's just talk about it now, it is also the Zhang and Wei families that are the strongest, with the largest manor and the most serfs. Now that Wei Xiong and Wei Shaokang have gone to Luoyang, everyone naturally wants to look at the Zhang family.

Zhang Yin obviously felt a lot of eyes projected on him, and also felt the pressure of Rushan - everyone looked at him, and Guan Yi didn't pay attention to him yet. There is no doubt that with his knowledge of this great Sima. After the spring of next year, the Zhang family will definitely be the first family to be cleared of household taxes: Guan Da Sima has never been a persimmon pick-up soft pinch. Rather, if you want to catch it, you will catch the leader. The leader took it, and the people below were naturally obedient.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yin has not slept all night, and he is really tired now. So I'm going to be out of company for now. If I have time another day, I'll get back together. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately disappointed: they didn't say anything like Zhang being the East on a specific day. It shows that Zhang Yin is not ready to come out and pick this head. In this way, where the various families go, they cannot collude with each other, and they can only sweep the snow in front of their doors.

"So, Gong Zhang, please go."

"Gong Zhang, take a break at the inn next time, and I'll go back to Dunhuang tomorrow. If you have time, the next time you come to Chang'an, you must come to listen to Zhang Gong's teachings. ”

"Don't dare to teach it, everyone, take your leave."

"Farewell, farewell."

Worried about getting on the horse, Zhang Yin gently waved the horsewhip. The crotch mount galloped up quickly, and soon carried Zhang Yin back to his mansion.

"Welcome home."

"Ring the bell, let the longest in the second room to the seventeenth room gather at the door of the ancestral hall within a quarter of an hour."

"No!"

"Wait."

"What else does the head of the house command?"

"The previous order is retained, and an additional article is added, so that the longest generation in the sixteenth room, as well as all the fifth and sixth generations of each house who are over five years old, can gather at the entrance of the ancestral hall within a quarter of an hour."

"No!"

The subordinate took the order and quickly went to work. Zhang Yin walked straight to his yard, after informing his wife and son. His eldest son hurried out to greet the relevant personnel of the long house. And he took the lead outside the ancestral hall with a heavy heart.

In the cold wind of winter, Zhang Yin put on a cashmere sweater given to him by Ma Guo last night under his deep coat, and he only felt extremely warm. And this warmth made his determination even stronger.

Jingzhao Zhang's family, with Cao Wei's famous minister Zhang Ji as the first generation, is already the fourth generation when he arrives at Zhang Yin. Zhang Yin's fifth generation is mostly young people in their seventeen, eighteen, and twenties, and it is time to become a leader. As for the sixth generation, most of them are still babies, and only a few children are over the age of five.

But in any case, the Zhang family has now divided a full seventeen rooms, including Zhang Yin's room. The children surnamed Zhang in each house are added together, and I am afraid that there will be no less than two or three hundred people. If you take these two or three hundred people as the core, plus these people's wives, concubines, slaves, handmaidens, singers, dancers, fires, cooks, and wash clothes, and so on. In the entire Zhang Mansion, I am afraid that there are no less than two or three thousand people. Therefore, Jingzhao Zhang's family is the real home of Zhongming Dingshi. Family gatherings can only be bell-ringing.

Starting from all kinds of crossing texts, small doors, all kinds of concubines, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are already endless. In a super large family like the Zhang family, because there are too many interests involved, the tearing will only be more powerful and there is no lower limit. Therefore, the Zhang family, although it has not yet been separated. But the intrigue between the rooms is also frequent. Therefore, everyone basically lives their lives behind closed doors. It is said that it is a family, but in fact, there is very little contact with each other.

But ringing the bell is different, it's something that the whole family has to do. Therefore, as soon as the big bell in the center of Zhangfu rang, in less than a quarter of an hour, most of the relevant personnel from each room came to the small square outside the ancestral hall.

In the end, it is a big family, although there is not much contact with each other. But since it is rare to get together outside of ancestor worship, it is inevitable to greet each other. And the characteristics of the Chinese are that even if there is a big conflict between relatives, they are generally extremely enthusiastic on the face. So all of a sudden, the voices of all kinds of adults, virtuous nephews, and good grandchildren came and went, coupled with the crying and frolicking of some naughty children, etc., which made the small square outside the ancestral hall full of people.

"Bell bell bell ~~~" A sharp knock on the cymbal sounded, and everyone turned around in unison to see their head of the family staring at everyone with a bad face. So they quickly stopped greeting each other, and bowed in unison: "Meet the master of the house." ”

"Uncles and brothers are exempt. I have summoned you here today because I have something important to inform you. Well? Why didn't Thirteen Lang come? ”

"Back to the head of the family, Thirteen Lang entered Zhongnan Mountain to hunt the day before yesterday, and the head of the family gathered too tightly to notify."

"What kind of hunting in the winter? Went digging the bear's blind man's den again, right? This vertical man has some brute strength on his body, so he repeatedly makes mistakes, and after all, he knows that the hibernating bear is not so easy to mess with...... That's it, don't wait for him. We will now begin our deliberations. ”

"Please show me the house."

"Yesterday, I discussed with Guan Da Sima, Ma Changshi and other high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty in the Da Sima Mansion all night. Finally, there is a result. Ladies and gentlemen, starting next year, the Reconstruction Society's jade, gemstones, spirits, blankets...... More than ten kinds of items, their sales in Jingzhao County, all of which are in charge of my Zhang family. ”

After Zhang Yin explained the concept of regional distribution rights in detail, all the people who participated in the meeting were all happy!

"Master, this is good! As a result, my family's income will at least double next year! ”

"The eighth brother's heart is also small, right? In my brother's opinion, since the entire supply of Jingzhao is in our hands, the price is not set by us? Jingzhao has so many powerful people, and after the Han State moves its capital to Chang'an in the future, it will be a prince of the city. This profit, hehehe......"

"The head of the family, the shops in each county in this county are in charge of the people of the few houses, and they still need to be decided as soon as possible. Everyone, prepare early! ”

"Yes, for such a big thing, there may not be enough people in the long house. We should also send our right-hand men to help. ”

"You see that? Isn't this what the head of the family has gathered for the five generations of young people to gather today? ”

"Hahaha~~~ That's exactly the case. Hey, in this case, next to my house, the 300 acres of fertile land along the river of the Nawei family, should I find a chance to buy it......."

"Bell Bell Bell ~~~" Listening to this group of guys there infinitely YY, Zhang Yin's heart was even more convinced that what Guan Yi said made sense: If it doesn't change, the Zhang family will decay sooner or later!

As soon as the cymbal sounded, everyone quickly quieted down, and everyone looked at Zhang Yin with flattering and greedy eyes. The enthusiastic and coppery smell almost smoked Zhang Yin.

"So that you know that my Zhang family is not the top in this region. We are not in a position to go directly to the Renaissance Society to pick up the goods. In fact, in the entire Yongzhou range, we have to find the Huangfu family to get the goods! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"The declining family of the Huangfu family dares to ride on our heads, and we are impatient?"

"That's right, the sales network of the county doesn't depend on my Zhang family's previous business routes, why should I let the Huangfu family eat for nothing?"

Seeing that the group of fools below were still chattering there, Zhang Yin didn't bother to explain: "In addition to the monopoly of the entire Yongzhou, the Huangfu family also has a monopoly in Fufeng County next to Jingzhao. Therefore, the price of my family in Jingzhao cannot be set too high. Otherwise, you can't compete with the Huangfu family. Therefore, the profit cannot be as big as you think. ”

"Master of the family, this, this, this is not reasonable!"

"That's right, head of the house. Isn't the Huangfu family an internal response when the Han State conquered Yongliang? Such a shameless family dares to ride on our heads! ”

Do you also know that people saw it accurately at the beginning, and the early entry speculation was successful? People are now Guan Yili's benchmark! We can't afford to mess with it anytime soon!

"Bell bell bell ~~~, be quiet! Outside the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors. How can it be so unorthodox. With a long sigh of hatred, Zhang Yin continued: "I have a few more things to announce. ”

"Please make it clear to the head of the house."

"This morning, Da Sima has already explained it to our major families in Yongliang. Next year, Yongliang will change the nine-product Zhongzheng system to the inspection system! ”

"Huh?"

"Guan Zifeng, this little thief, is so daring!"

"A perverse puppet will not die well!"

"Bell~~~~ shut up the old man!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Yin is only in his thirties this year, and he is still far from the title of old man. But at this time, he was also angry and angry, and he didn't choose what to say.

Seeing that the head of the house was unprecedentedly angry, all the people in the rooms below quickly turned out their sounds.

"Again, outside the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors. There are also those who interrupt the words of the head of the family, the expert law, and the genealogy is removed! ”

"The head of the house, please calm your anger, please show the head of the house."

"Humph! Let me tell you, next year, not only to change the nine-product Zhongzheng system to the inspection system. Da Sima also said very clearly. Starting in February next year, the whole territory of Yongliang will check the household tax! ”

"Ah~~~!"

There was still commotion, but no one protested anymore.

"Hmm." Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Yin said: "There are a lot of tricks here, and I will talk about it slowly and carefully with the clan elders and the heads of each room in the evening." I have asked you to come here today for three sentences: First, the various products of the Fuxing Society must be well managed. This is the foundation of whether my Zhang family can have such a huge family business in the future! Guan Da Sima is a first-class hero in the world, and such a hero will not be trapped in the land of Sanzhou after all. So as long as we do things here to the satisfaction of Da Sima, there will be more regional monopoly rights in the future. Second, I, the Zhang family, must be consistent and fully cooperate with the reform that Da Sima is about to start! Those who dare to obstruct and resist are the sinners who want to harm my Zhang family. This kind of person, without the help of Da Sima, I will personally execute the family law and kill the staff! Third, next year, the five generations of my Zhang family's descendants will actively participate in the selection of filial piety. The two academies of Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan should send people in as much as possible. And the six generations of descendants will actively enter Chang'an to study! ”
