The Yang Xia Xie family of Chen County was originally just a little-known small clan, but its patriarch stood firmly behind Cao Cao when Cao Cao raised his army, almost poured out his family wealth, and mobilized the manpower and material resources of all families to assist Cao Cao.

His efforts have also been richly rewarded, with the continuous growth of Cao Cao's power, his family has also prospered, the land, population and materials are constantly expanding, especially began to master the business with Youzhou Lu Peng, but also the wealth is rolling. With the original trust, the second-generation patriarch Xie Jingjun (the great-grandfather of Xie An, the gate lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty) was appointed by Cao Cao as the general of the Diannong Zhonglang to take charge of agricultural production, civil affairs, and land rent in the Tuntian area.

Who will unify the world is not yet predictable. In addition to the strength of the soldiers and the courage of the generals, and the proper strategy, there must also be a sufficient supply of grain and straw, that is, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the grain and grass go first. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of Jian'an, Cao Cao was placed in the Tuntian area from the proposal of Zaoyi, in charge of agricultural production, civil affairs and land rent, and his authority was in line with Taishou. In this way, the Xie family, one of the most famous kings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was established.

But as time passed, the entire political landscape was constantly changing, Cao Cao was defeated again and again, falling from the peak of the Central Plains power to the trough, and the gatekeepers who followed them also began to decline.

In the end, Cao Cao exchanged his death for an alliance with Liu Bei, abandoning the Central Plains and moving south.

What is the South? In the eyes of the Central Plains people, the south is a land of smoke and miasma, an uncivilized area, and the Central Plains people call the southerners barbarians, also called the southern barbarians, and all people regard it as a daunting path. Even more than a thousand years later, it was a place of exile for prisoners, let alone now.

But there is no way, his backer has fallen, and the entire family is about to overturn, in order to be able to continue, the Xie family, which has been tied to Cao Wei's chariot, must follow Cao Wei and continue to migrate south, and then continue to support Cao Wei in order to make a comeback.

"Daddy, can't you go if you don't go?" Xiao'er Xie Heng raised his little face, looked at his father who was sitting in the lobby without saying a word, and asked childishly.

Xie Jingjun touched his youngest son's head and shook his head gently: "No, because our family has been tightly tied to Cao Wei, our honor and disgrace have also been shared with the Cao family, if we don't leave, don't say that others will be hostile to us, even the Cao family will be the first to strike at us, our family's strength can't compete with the Cao family, we can only accept the arrangement of fate." ”

Xie Heng nodded as if he didn't understand, but he firmly remembered what his father said, his family can't compete with others. He understood that if he wanted to be able to control the fate of his family, he had to make his family strong enough to be able to influence all the forces. So, from now on, the Xie family will work hard from generation to generation, and develop towards being able to influence the situation of the whole world, if it is placed in the future generations, they have indeed achieved this goal, and the Xie family has produced many talents, and will be countless to become the queen professional household in three hundred years.

But now that Lu Peng is leading the Three Kingdoms, will they still form a gate valve?

The eldest son, Xie Zhang, came in at this time and gave his father a salute: "Father, everything has been taken care of, and we can go on the road." ”

Xie Jingjun sighed, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to walk slowly in his yard.

He has been operating for decades, the family power is huge, and the money has accumulated countless money, so the mansion built is also extremely luxurious, and the current Xie family mansion is completely comparable to an ordinary market town, and its degree of luxury, even if it is a warlord, it is a mansion that has taken decades of countless efforts to build, when it was built, Xie Jingjun also imagined that this mansion will last for thousands of years and become the ancestral garden of the Xie family.

But now that it was all gone, he slowly walked through the alleys that separated the courtyards like spider webs, looking at every stone slab, every step, every small door, and he could clearly remember the purpose of the construction of this.

"This is the youngest son of the old five family married a concubine, and raised a son for him, I specially rewarded him with a courtyard, which is three main houses, three side rooms on the left and right, and a small courtyard at the back, originally wanted them to grow some vegetables and fruits, but was transformed into a small garden by that kid, and when his grandson was full moon, he often enjoyed the moon and drank wine in the stone bench in that garden."

"This is the place where my widow and sister-in-law live in their old age, and I have also worked hard, it is quiet and elegant, and the old sister-in-law finally died, in this courtyard, and now his grave is in the ancestral grave of the Xie family." When I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh again: "Early death is a blessing, the old sister-in-law has been diligent and thrifty and filial piety all her life, and she has passed away early, enjoyed the glory that the Xie family should have, and then lay quietly in her own ancestral grave, no longer suffering from displacement." ”

"There is also this alley, where there was a murder, two children of his own family fought with each other, the older one called the younger one and his head was bleeding, and as the patriarch of the family, he was here, and he beat the boy who did not want to see his younger brother to death. Brothers bully younger brothers, younger brothers do not respect their elder brothers, this is absolutely not allowed in the goal of developing and growing the group, we must use bloody examples to tell all the children of the family that brothers are united in order to make the family go further. ”

It took half a day for Xie Jingjun to walk through his manor, and when he felt tired, he sat down on a stone bench, and a group of brothers behind him looked at him silently, waiting for his decision.

Eventually, one of the brothers couldn't help but ask, "Can you light a fire?" ”

Since the whole family has moved, there is no need to leave this luxurious manor to others, the family has already discussed, and after everyone left home, the manor was burned down by fire.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Jingjun still changed his mind: "Keep it, no matter who occupies her, in the end, it can be continued, maybe one day, our family can return here and take back our things." ”

Everyone is looking forward to being able to return to their hometown, but will they be able to come back? The devil knows.

Finally, he walked to the main hall of the ancestral hall, looking at the empty shrine, Xie Jingjun personally closed the door, put on an iron lock, and then reluctantly walked to the ancestral tomb outside the manor.

The last solemn sacrifice had been held the day before yesterday, and this time I came here to say all the final goodbyes.

Kneel in front of the grave of the ancestor, no longer cry and cry, no longer pray and pray, what should be said is said the day before yesterday, there is nothing more to say, in order to ensure that the tomb of the ancestor is not stolen and excavated, all the items that show the prosperity of his family have been removed, and now here, it is like a pile of mass graves.

grabbed a handful of soil, carefully wrapped it up, and put it in his arms, then turned around and told his sons and told the children of his clan: "You must remember that this is the real root of our Xie family." ”
