Chapter 313

The method of survival of the big family does not rely on some unpredictable prophet who has seen the ghost, but on betting on both ends, and the others are all very false.

It is known as the clever and loyal Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming, and it is also a high-quality product used by the Zhuge family, you look at Cao Wei Zhuge birthday, Sun Wu Zhuge Ke will know, a famous general and a minister, although not as famous as Zhuge Liang, but they do exist.

Does Liu Bei and Liu Xuande know the existence of the remaining two? Of course I know, it's all on the surface, how can I not know? In the same way, do Cao Cao and Sun Quan know these things? Of course I do.

I know, but I don't say it, this is also one of the rules of the game, because whoever breaks this rule and offends the Zhuge family that can casually throw out a Zhuge Liang, a Zhuge Dan, and a Zhuge Ke, and falls to the other side, it will really outweigh the losses, not to mention, after breaking the rules, I am afraid that other big families will not play with you anymore.

As for the heroes and heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were even more explicit, and when they were in the Three Kingdoms, they were still betting long, and at that time, the company went out of business and changed to another company, and nine out of ten had to be scolded by Zhang Yide for being a "slave with three surnames".

Therefore, don't overestimate the discipline of the big family, because the big family itself has no discipline.

Besides, when Yang Gong said this, an old man like Yang Ziheng who stood on the opposite side had to weigh what the consequences would be if he voted against it.

This is a game under the rules of the game, even if the local scholars hate the Jian'an Yang clan to the bone, they will not risk being besieged by all the scholars, and stab the Yang family's assistance to Yang Shangjing to the surface, which will lead to the extreme expansion of imperial power and the extreme atrophy of the autonomy of the scholars.

At this time, an old man whose hair had fallen out was a little thin, tremblingly stood up from his seat, and said tremblingly: "What Shiro said is very true, the old man heard it, and he was quite pleased, people live a breath, say live a skin, if the Yang family's face is lost, it is rich and rival the country, and he is not interesting, the old man in this life, the happiest thing is that there is a nephew who has been a secretary of the Ministry of Industry and a posthumous gift to the Taishi, and another one, there is such a good grandson, who can inherit the mantle of the nephew of the old man." ”

The old man is also very interesting when he speaks, the Ministry of Industry is the second grade, the Taishi is the first product of the Eight Classics, as for what Hanlin Bachelor, Cabinet University Scholar and the like, don't mention it, although compared to the former, the latter two have more authority, but the high grade is good.

As he spoke, the old man coughed vigorously twice, looking at the posture, it was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time, so frightened that Yang Ziheng, who had just been invincible, hurriedly stood up, rushed to the old man's side with an arrow, stretched out his hand to support him, and called him "Third Uncle".

However, before Yang Ziheng's words were finished, the old man waved his hand, and then said: "Shang Jing, this child, has a hard life since he was a child, and his body is weak, if he doesn't have a little money at home, I'm afraid that he will die just after birth. ”

Shaking his head, the old man slapped Yang Ziheng on the back of his head: "You kid still dare to say anything bastard, that's the blood and blood of my Yang family, your eldest brother's most promising grandson, you don't want it if you say don't want it?" ”

The old man is completely speaking in the tone of an elder, but don't talk about Yang Ziheng, even Yang Gong, as the head of the family, has to bow his head and listen, with a deferential face, no way, for Yang Ziheng, this is the eldest brother like a father, for Yang Gong, this is the ancestor, Yang Rong was in the later stage of being an official outside, Yang Gong's prestige was insufficient, and the operation of the whole family depended on this old man.

In other words, without this old man, Yang Gong might not be able to sit in the position of the head of the family.

"Third uncle, that's what you said." Yang Ziheng nodded dejectedly, indicating that he knew his mistake.

Yang Yang, who was on the side, couldn't help but reach out and wipe the sweat beads on his head, and he could be regarded as knowing why his eldest brother wanted to make a "faint move" today, just this old man went here, not to mention Yang Ziheng and Yang Xi, even if he tied up half of the stewards present, they were not the enemies of this old man.

The qualifications are too old, the prestige is too much, as long as the old man speaks, it will be a foregone conclusion, no one should think about turning the sky upside down, in this way, even if he doesn't lead the conversation away, the old man can easily turn the tide of the war. The old man's slap just now looked like it was on the back of Yang Ziheng's head, but it was actually on Yang Ziheng's face, and even the face of the entire Yang Ziheng faction, directly strengthening Yang Gong's position as the head of the family in the wildest way.

Seeing the old man sit down tremblingly, the rest of the people looked at each other with some hesitation in their eyes.

The old man's words must be listened to, but how to listen to them, or rather, what to do after listening to them, there is something to say.

So Yang Xi gritted his teeth and stood up again: "What my uncle said is very true, but how to support this, we must always think in the long run, this time is different from the past, that is, I Jian'an Yang, and I do not have the qualifications to wrestle with the imperial power, if one is not careful, he is directly caught, I am afraid that the entire Yang family will be doomed." ”

Yang Gong glanced at his third brother deeply, and said with a smile: "This time is indeed different from the past, so this method is naturally not the same as in the past, and it will naturally not work to give ships and people directly, not to mention that the manpower and wealth that my Yang clan can mobilize are also limited, far inferior to the military power and financial power in Shang Jing's hands." ”

This is the truth, how thick the snake is and how thick the hole, the Yang family is rich, and the expenses are also large, maybe compared to other small families, it is more generous, but compared to the resources that Yang Shangjing has now, it is also a little insufficient, so this is not supported by money and manpower, and it is useless at all.

Yang Xi squinted his eyes and asked, "But I don't know what my brother has to do?" ”

"Just like Shang Jing's letter, just give him a hiding place for the widows, that's it." Yang Gong smiled very calmly, "A few days ago, the family ship passed from the north, but a large amount of money was scraped away, and these bastards always have to vomit out when they eat things they shouldn't eat." ”

As he spoke, Yang Gong turned his head with a smile and looked at Yang Yang: "What the fourth brother said just now is that he has already obtained one of the samadhi, if it is like this, let the fourth brother go to transfer the family merchant ship, so as to give Shang Jing some detailed news." ”
