Noticing Chen Zhi's look, Lu Jiao was quite cautious, thought about it a little, and then said: "In the frontier land, due to the war and the southward movement of the Hu people, many people left their hometowns, leaving a lot of land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lu said hesitantly about these words, but in the end he still said truthfully, in his opinion, Chen Zhi is also a child of the family, and the Chen family in Pengcheng must also have a lot of land in their hometown of Pengcheng, even if they don't know much about this situation, they will definitely not object.

"There is a master in the dock fort, and the people inside are helping them farm......" Chen Zhi sighed, and his expression changed slightly.

Savoring Chen's tone, Lu Xuan noticed a trace of unusual taste, and said: "It's not all, if it weren't for the dock fort run by several major families, the people of this generation of counties don't know how much they would be plundered by the Hu people." ”

Chen Zhi didn't dwell on this issue, and asked very simply: "Since Wubao has a lord, the land in it is all cultivated by tenant farmers, and the rent is not light." ”

Lu Jiao estimated Chen Zhi's thoughts, and said a little vaguely: "Actually, it's not too much, it's just two or three percent more than the ordinary Central Plains lord's family, besides, to maintain the dock fort and protect the people, the family militia is indispensable, and several families have more than one dock fort Zhuangzi, and the troops are scattered, and it is not a small expense to maintain so many families, and to charge some more land rent, it is also to make the people more healthy and not threatened by the Hu people." ”

When he said this, he looked up at Chen Zhi, and saw that the other party's expression was a little intriguing, and his heart suddenly changed, and he hurriedly added: "Many of the dock owners are also kind-hearted, didn't Chen Jun ask just now, how can there be people cultivating outside the dock fort, in fact, most of the land outside the dock fort is owned by the family, and the reason why it can attract farmers to cultivate is because of the kindness of those dock owners, the land outside the dock is reduced by half compared to the inside of the dock fort, which will make people flock to it." ”

"The land outside, there is also ground rent? Also belong to those families? Hearing this, Chen Zhi just nodded on the surface, but he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, he was faintly aware of the hidden danger of Daijun, and the land annexation here may have reached the level of a cordon.

The Dock Fort was created for safety, but the peasants would rather go out to farm than stay in it, so what should be the situation inside?

Thinking of these, although there are still a lot of details missing, Chen Zhi's attitude towards the people's vigilance and rejection can be somewhat understood.

"I'm afraid that around Dai County, and even in the entire Dai County, the division process of Wubao land, the government is not less involved, and may even be in collusion with the family, this Lu Jian is a liuguan, his family roots are not in Youzhou in Jizhou, even if the distance is close, it will not be enough to maintain the family here everywhere, unless there are interests involved."

The interests of officialdom are like a net, and every official is a net, which moves the whole body with a single hair, and touches one side slightly, and the entire officialdom may have to be vigilant, so Chen Zhi pressed the thought in his heart, no longer asked, and prepared to peel off the cocoon in the future.

At this moment, a group of people came up in front, the leader was about forty years old, with a high crown and a well-dressed dress, followed by a powerful warrior with a smile on his face.

"I've seen Taishou! In Xia Tang Yun, it is the dock master of this Jieshan Fort who has come to greet you. The person who took the lead said with a smile, and invited Chen Zhi and the others to enter the fort.

"Another one with the surname Tang." Chen Zhi was silent on the surface, and entered the fort with people, but secretly calculated in his heart, this time he went out, passed by three dock forts and two manors, and saw two dock owners and village owners, two surnamed Tang, one surnamed Zheng, one surnamed Liu, and one surnamed Wang.

"There are four major families in Daijun, ranked as Zhu, Wang, Zheng, and Tang, which are old families, many of them are officials, and there are not a few who are the center, in addition to several newly rising families, whose power is expanding rapidly, such as the Liu family supported by the land area."

Here, Tang Yun led Chen Zhi and the others into the fort, and Chen Zhi's heart flashed the information reported by Su Liao.

This staff member of his has served on Chen Yong's side, his professional skills have passed, and he still has contacts in the Taifu Mansion, and he has done his homework before going north, and after arriving in Dai County, although he was also affected by the situation, he still paid attention to the details, so as soon as the matter passed, he could present the information that had been sorted out.

"According to Su Liao's introduction, the Daijun Zhu family is a branch of the Jiangzuo Zhu family, thirty years ago with the Xuanwu Beitong, the Zhu family several people sat in the north, leaving this branch, thanks to the Zhu family's steady operation in Jiangzuo, deep connections and influence in the court, the development of the Daijun Zhu family is also smooth, stable, steadily improved with the support of the family, more than 30 years, two generations of management, to the third generation to the third generation slowly rising, has deep roots, ranked first in the county;"

"Daijun Wang's family, is a branch of Taiyuan Wang's family, here is not far from the state, the Wang family regards it as one of the directions of expansion, so the Daijun Wang's power is not small, and the state supports each other, rapid expansion, for a long time, the Daijun Wang family is the head of the Daijun family, these two years because of the rise of the Huns, Taiyuan Wang's troubles, there is no effort to take care of these small sects, so that the ranking of the Daijun Wang's family has dropped a lot, no longer the previous high-profile, so that the Zhu family won the first place;"

"As for the Zheng family, it is a family born and raised in Dai County, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after more than 100 years of development, it has begun to appear, but there are rumors that the ancestors of this family are really Hu people to change their surnames, the Zheng family will not admit it, and they have also vigorously suppressed related remarks, and the result is self-defeating, more and more widespread, in recent years, the Zheng family has been ignored, this statement has gradually subsided;"

"As for the Tang family, it is said that it is also a local family, but it is good at businessmen, it is a family that has risen in the past twenty years, and the background is slightly insufficient compared to several others, and it has been suppressed more.

Chen Zhi turned the information in his heart, and on the surface, he communicated politely with Tang Yun, saying scenes without nutrition, and listening to the other party's introduction to the various characteristics and matters in the dock fort.

This person is flaunting his Tang family's loyalty to the court and the county guard, as well as his good management in the local area, which has saved many people from worries.

"When the Huns came, my brother Tang Dian immediately arranged it, let us get ready, the arrangement and arrangement in the dock fort are all my brother's painstaking efforts, the order is reached, the inside and outside are busy, and things are quickly arranged properly, so the loss is very small, except for my side, several villages of the Tang family, all because of my brother, there is almost no damage."

Tang Yun looked like he was dutifully introduced, and when he pointed to a few fortifications, he mentioned his brother by the way, and his words were full of admiration and admiration.

Chen Zhi already understood what he meant, and after asking a few words, he said to Lu Xuan: "I remember that Tang Dian seems to have served as a captain, right?" ”

Lu Yan secretly complained about Tang Yun's troubles, but he had to nod and respond: "Yes, Taishou really has a good memory, just read the roster once, and wrote it down, Tang Dian was once a captain, and he also made quite a difference." Of course, he knew that the Tang family had always been eager to change the declining trend and reverse the current situation, but it was blocked by several other families with little success, and if he could bet on the new Taishou, it was undoubtedly an ideal choice.

"Listening to Tang Yun's introduction, the defense matters inside and outside the dock fort are all arranged by him, so it seems that this Tang Dian is somewhat capable, huh." Chen Zhi continued to speak, making Tang Yun's face look happy.

Tang Yunzheng wanted to make persistent efforts, glanced at Tianshi, and said, "Taishou, it's not too early at this time, why don't you go back after lunch with me?" I'm going to let ......"

"No need, there are guests from the Tuoba Department in the city, and Taishou has to go over to entertain them." Lu Jiao didn't want Tang Yun to say anything anymore to prevent extraneous branches, so he interrupted in advance, and Chen Zhi also nodded.

Tang Yun said with regret on his face: "It's a pity, then I can only wait for another time, and then set up a banquet to invite you too much, if you are too free, you can come to my Tang family at any time, up and down the house, sweep the couch to welcome you." ”

As this sentence fell, the whole trip was over, Chen Zhi led everyone to say goodbye, left the dock fort, and walked on the road, Chen Zhi asked seemingly unintentionally: "This dock fort is called Jieshan Fort, but I don't see any mountains near here, how did it get its name?" ”

Lu Xuan also shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know very well. ”

Suddenly, someone behind him said, "My subordinates know a little bit about it." ”

Lu Jiao turned his head to look and saw that it was Liu Guang, his main bookkeeper, and nodded: "Well, Liu Guang, you can tell me." ”

Liu Guang arched his hand and saluted Chen Zhi first, and then said the reason.

"Taishou, county order, the two of them just entered the fort is not deep, so they did not find out, in fact, this fort is built on a hill, that is, the original Xie Mountain, but it is not steep, it was originally Xie Jia Village to resist bandits by the terrain, and over time it became a manor, and when the Tang family took over, it developed into a dock fort."

"So that's the case," Chen Zhi nodded, and praised Lu Xuan: "Your master bookkeeper is very knowledgeable. ”

Lu said with a smile: "Liu Guang was born in the Liu family of Dai County, and he knows very well about this Dai County, especially the affairs inside and outside Dai County. ”

Chen Zhi glanced at Liu Guang and nodded, and some records and information about the Liu family flashed in his mind.

In recent years, it is known as the fifth largest family in addition to the four major families, and its influence has gradually radiated from Dai County to the entire Dai County, and it is also a local family that cannot be ignored.

These big clans are all the other parties that Chen Zhi focuses on, and if he wants to govern the place, he will inevitably have to deal with them.
