Chapter 870: The old stubbornness of the broken family
The longer a family is inherited, the more complicated the internal situation becomes, just like an old man, the longer he lives, the more he suffers, and the more his body decays.
The same is true for the folding family, although the folding family has been the door for generations, and there are many capable children and grandchildren, but there are more wastes that are not used...... I heard that utility workers were going to be abolished, and they were even going to fight overseas.
There were few who were willing, and among them, there were many elders of Zhi Kerou, and even his uncles, who were gray-haired, on crutches, and shouted scolding.
"Rebel son, I folded my family and lived in Fuzhou, when I was in the Tang Dynasty, it was like this, and the old Zhao family didn't know where it was at that time! Why let us go, and why dismiss our utility? ”
"Separation of flesh and blood, severing family affection, if you go overseas, you can't bury your ancestors when you die, you are ashamed of your ancestors!"
"You kid just married a daughter-in-law and forgot about the family...... Xiao Nizi surnamed Wang don't be ashamed, she entered the door of the folded family, that is, we are the people of the folded family, if you still help her mother's family, you will divorce her! ”
……
The more these old guys talked, the more ugly they became, and they made Zhi Kerou's face red, and she was so angry!
"The abolition of utility personnel is the meaning of the imperial court, the Wang family has been cut, what else do we have to do?" Zhi Kerou was heartbroken.
"The Wang family can cut, we will definitely not cut!"
"Yes, if there is no utility, I, what is left of our family?"
In the face of these old guys, Zhi Kerou really has no choice, he doesn't listen to reason, and he is an elder, so he can't quarrel with them, isn't it trouble!
After talking for an afternoon, Zhi Kerou could only return to the house in a gloomy manner, wanting to ask his daughter-in-law's opinion.
Wang Luoxiang leaned back in a chair, nibbling on the apple without any image, and when she saw her husband come back dejected, she laughed instead.
"How? Suffered, right? I guess you can't settle your old stubbornness either! ”
Zhi Kerou scratched her head helplessly, "What, Xiang'er, I'll talk to them again, I want to talk a few more times, it should be possible!" ”
"What a thing!"
Wang Luoxiang gave him a blank look.
"I ask you, why are they reluctant to lay off utility officers, why are they not willing to go overseas to fight?"
"This ...... It is difficult to leave the homeland, and there is indeed a lot of resistance to leaving the homeland, and we need to be more reasonable! ”
Wang Luoxiang shook his head, stood up, paced slowly in the room, and said loudly: "The abolition of utility personnel is not a reasonable thing at all, but it has touched their lifeline!" Can I not fight with you! ”
Zhi Kerou expressed puzzlement, Wang Luoxiang did not hesitate and pointed out the key points...... In the past two or three hundred years, Fuzhou, as well as the surrounding places, have become the industry of the Zhe family, and there are many partial brothers of the Zhe family, who can't fight anymore, and they don't want to work hard in the army, so they get some land and live in peace and stability.
The same family, the successive heads of the family will also take care of these clansmen and distribute the fields...... In the long run, a large number of landlords were formed, like concentric circles, constantly spreading outward.
The common characteristic of these landlords was that they employed a large number of tenant farmers, and these tenant farmer families were their source of utility!
How so?
Fuzhou is a miniature feudal country, according to blood relations, the formation of landlords attached to the folded family, deep-rooted, monolithic.
The utility soldiers of the Zhejia are not only soldiers, but also tenant farmers, and if they are laid off, not only will the Zhejia army be gone, but the fields will no longer be cultivated, which is the reason why the elders of the Zhejia family are strongly opposed!
They can not care about the folding army, but they can't care about their own small life.
Zhi Kerou was dumbfounded when she heard it, it seems that this is really the truth!
"Xiang'er, you are really a female Zhuge !
Wang Luoxiang snorted, "My nephew can understand this truth, that is, you are confused!" ”
Zhi Kerou didn't care about her daughter-in-law's complaints, but smiled honestly, "Xiang'er, you quickly give me an idea, what should I do?" ”
"What else can I do, how do you think the Fold family is better than ours?"
"Of course it's not as good."
"Then my brother is disarmed, and you still want to carry it? Those civil servants won't let you go! ”
Zhi Kerou nodded, "I know this, I also want to disarm, but the problem is ...... They don't agree! ”
Wang Luoxiang snorted, she turned around twice, "You tell me the truth, do you really want to be disarmed?" ”
"Of course, I just can't find a way!"
"Okay, I'll come!"
Wang Luoxiang rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and asked Zhi Kerou to lead the way in front, and when they arrived at the ancestral hall of the Zhe family, they went directly to the backyard.
According to the rules, only the head of the folded family and the clan elders can come here.
Wang Luoxiang asked Zhi Kerou to open the door of the back hall, and called a few more people to move out more than a dozen huge wooden boxes from inside, and unfolded it to see, it was nothing else, all of them were dense rosters, many of which had been yellowed and had been inherited for at least one or two hundred years.
Wang Luoxiang looked at it, and suddenly asked someone to take a torch and throw it directly on it!
Shocked, Zhi Kerou opened her mouth wide, and she didn't know what to say!
I watched the fire rise and swallow up all the roster files.
At this time, there was movement outside, and many of the clan seniors were alarmed, they hurried over, but what they saw was a big fire, Wang Luoxiang stood next to the fire, smiling all over his face, these old guys are going crazy!
"Enchantress, what are you doing?"
They rushed towards Wang Luoxiang, but now Zi Kerou didn't agree, and hurriedly blocked the front.
"Although you are my elders, don't be too rampant, hurry up!" Zhi Kerou's hand had already pressed on the handle of the knife, of course, these people were also afraid of the strength of the Wang family, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, but they beat their chests one by one, and their faces turned blue with anger.
These boxes contain a roster of tenants, utility, and trilogy that the Ori family has accumulated over the generations...... Many of them have been passed down for hundreds of years, and even they themselves can't say clearly, and these things are the lifeblood of the Zhejia Army!
According to the official records of the imperial court, Fuzhou has more than 20,000 household registrations and less than 50,000 people.
But Zhi Kerou knows that the number of people and horses of the Zhi family, especially in the last ten years, has increased rapidly, and it can pull out up to 30,000, of which there are 10,000 cavalry alone!
According to the records of the imperial court, I am afraid that the women of Fuzhou will all pick up their swords and go to serve as warriors.
Obviously, there is a large number of smuggling people in Fuzhou, and they have not been reported at all.
There is no record from the imperial court, these people are legally considered black households, they only belong to the Zhe family, and they must farm and fight for the Zhe family, even if they run out, they have no legal identity, and they will not be protected, so these people are firmly pinched in the hands of the Zhe family.
Speaking of which, it's also quite sad.
Zhi Kerou knew in his heart that he didn't have a good way, so he could only continue to give his subordinates some benefits and try to compensate for them, after all, he didn't have the courage to be decisive.
In fact, similar situations are not uncommon.
Although the Great Song Dynasty did not have slaves in law, many families still raised some family members, and there were also various slaves and fugitives...... It's messy, and it's hard to figure out.
Since you can't figure it out, you can simply burn it all!
Wang Luoxiang's fire, what kind of deed of sale, land deed, land deed, house deed, roster...... Everything that can restrain the utility is ruined, and nothing is left!
She sneered at the gang.
"There are a lot of utility people who have worked hard for your family since the Tang Dynasty...... How many people have died over the generations? How much blood was shed? Be a man with a good conscience, they don't owe you anything...... If the court wants to abolish the effect and divide the land, you should spit out what you have eaten, and give everyone a way to live, as well as a way to live for yourself...... If you still hold on to it, and the fields are divided in various places, will your utility men still work with peace of mind? Touch your neck and don't you feel scared? ”
Wang Luoxiang taught a few lessons, turned around and got on the war horse, rushed directly away from the crowd, and walked away.
There was only a bunch of dumbfounded old guys left, they beat their chests, some cried, some scolded, and they all came at Zhe Kerou, spitting at the stars.
"Open your eyes and see, this is the daughter-in-law you are looking for, she dug up our family's ancestral grave!"
……
Wang Luoxiang was riding on a horse, and she could hear some of the scolding behind her, but she didn't care.
A bunch of insatiable old stubbornness, you just cannibalize people enough, and it's uncomfortable to suffer!
Anyway, the roster is burned out, and those utility people are free, and no one can do whatever they want...... Wang Luoxiang felt that he had done a good deed...... However, good things have been done in this world, but there may not be good results...... The old stubbornness of the folded family is not necessarily how angry!
My aunt and grandmother don't play with you anymore.
Wang Luoxiang rushed back to the mansion and picked up his son, who couldn't speak, the little guy slept very sweetly, and there were a few crystal saliva bubbles at the corners of his mouth, which was very pleasing.
Wang Luoxiang looked at his son and smiled sweetly.
"Mother will take you to see grandpa and grandma...... By the way, there are also your uncles and them, when your father will settle the mess at home and pick us up, if he doesn't have the ability...... We're not coming back! ”
Wang Luoxiang ran away when she got into trouble, she asked people to clean up briefly, got into a special carriage, and took the guards who came from Wang's house, a total of 20 people, out of the back door of the mansion, and slipped away directly.
It's just that as soon as her carriage came out of the two streets, many old fellows with people poured up from all directions, and they gritted their teeth and their eyes were on fire!
"Come out, you make it clear to us!"
"Yes, let's make it clear, where is the Zhe family sorry for you?"
"Why do you want to hurt the family?"
"Speak quickly!"
……
These people were frantically clamoring, and some of them were about to rob people, and the guards around Wang Luoxiang were not ambiguous, they all drew their weapons, and the war was about to break out.
At this time, out of nowhere, more people appeared, men and women, old and young, and a larger encirclement was formed outside the old stubbornness of the old family, and the number soon reached ten times or a hundred times that of them.
Suddenly, someone took the lead and knelt down, followed by the black pressure and knelt in a big circle, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and the sound was earth-shattering!
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
In an instant, the old guys were dumbfounded.
