Chapter 23 Plan ahead
Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai left the county on the same day, before leaving, Wu Fanhui gave each of them two taels of silver, which was enough to maintain their expenses in the barracks for a year, and at the same time Wu Fanhui wrote a document, the content was about Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong colluded with bandits, and killed the people of the village, Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai did not hesitate to press their fingerprints on the document.

Wu Fanhui gave the silver, Wu Guigui and the others did not refuse, they accepted the silver and said goodbye with a humble attitude.
Wu Guigui and the others left, Wu Qingchao finally breathed a sigh of relief, when Wu Fanhui accompanied the three of them to eat in the hall, he was nervously wandering outside the house, in fact, to see if anyone paid attention to the guests at home, to see if anyone knew that Wu Guigui and others came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, such a thing must not be spread, so as not to cause a bad impact.
Wu Fanhui didn't give Wu Qing much explanation, his layout can't be said, even if he is facing his family, if he wants to survive and grow in a harsh environment, he must take precautions, he must make all the arrangements in advance, and the people he should make friends with should be made in advance, don't cramm, and don't look at people with colored glasses.
That document, Wu Fanhui carefully stored it, and he didn't need it now, because he Wu Fanhui himself didn't have any fame, but after he really gained fame and power, this document might work.
Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong calculated him, such a thing can't end like this, no wonder he came back from the mountain col when he crossed the pass, and the two of them would come to visit at home at the same time, it turned out that they came to inquire about the truth and reality, this account, Wu Fanhui wrote it down for the time being, and when the time is ripe, it will make the two pay the due price.
The five major families in Mizhi County, Wu Fanhui also took advantage of the Spring Festival period to do a targeted and detailed understanding, in fact, many things, do not need to be deliberately inquired, the people in the county know it.
The five major families in Mizhi County are the He family, the Li family, the Liu family, the Wu family and the Wang family.
The most powerful He family, there are three people, two of them are officials outside, and the other is the oldest He Fangzhen, who has been an official in the field for many years, from the position of the county to the officer, and has been home for a few years, and is now the patriarch of the He family, and the He family has four talents, who will participate in the township test after two years, including He Fangzhen's youngest son He Luoxuan, this He Luoxuan is the person who bought Wu Fanhui's horse, and has gone out to travel.
The second-ranked Li family has two lifters, one of whom has died of illness, and the other is studying in the Guozijian in the capital, and it is estimated that after coming out of the Guozijian, he will also be sent to other places as officials.
The third-ranked Liu family, out of a lifting Liu Shijie, now at home, this Liu Shijie is unwilling to enter the Guozijian to study, although he participated in the two examinations and failed, but he is still ready to participate in the third examination, thinking that he must pass the examination and become a genuine two-list Jinshi, and once he enters the Guozijian to study, he is basically selected by the Ministry of Officials to be an official in the field.
The fourth-ranked Wu family, a man named Wu Mianqing, is also an official in other places, and this Wu Mianqing is still Wu Fanhui's third grandfather.
The fifth-ranked Wang family has not raised people at present, but there are several talents, including four students, who are second only to people in the township examination.
On the surface, the town of Mizhi is calm and calm, and everyone is safe, but in fact, the battle in the interior is very fierce, the county is only so big, and there are only so many benefits that can be distributed.
The game between families is manifested in two aspects, one is the amount of land annexed, which is a symbol of the strength of the family, and the other is the number of officials placed in the county government, which is the embodiment of specific power.
With its strong strength, the He family completely defeated the rest of the major families and steadily became the most powerful family in Mizhi County, and the He family also did one thing very well, that is, to make the other four families almost unable to compete with them.
Today's actual situation is that the He family has a big business, the clan concept is very strong, and the sense of identity of the clan is also very strong.
It is not so much that there are five major families in Mizhi County, it is better to say that there is a big family, and the rest are vassals, and the real family game appears, even if the Li family, the Liu family, the Wu family and the Wang family are united, they are not the opponents of the He family.
The current situation is beneficial to Wu Fanhui, but it is unfavorable to maintain it for a long time.
The advantage is that the Wu family is weak, scattered, and has no real power, and the grandmother, who hates her father Wu Qingchao very much, cannot free up her hands to deal with them, which allows Wu Fanhui to calmly participate in the imperial examination, and when Wu Fanhui really gets famous, the Wu family is too late to talk about suppression.
The disadvantage is that the He family almost monopolizes the already small financial resources in Mizhi County, and the county government's households, officials' rooms, ceremonial rooms and torture rooms, and the officials and wardens are almost all recommended candidates by the He family, and even the county magistrates dare not easily offend the He family, which makes the other four major families can only survive and barely maintain, and they can't find the opportunity to make a fortune, and they can't enter the center of power, and they can't strengthen the power of the family.
The direct impact on Wu Fanhui was that he was unable to gather money in a short period of time.
Even if you have fame and enter the imperial court as an official, you must gather wealth, and gather many connections through wealth to attract more people, otherwise a bare-bones commander will not be able to do anything.
Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and Wu Fanhui must gather a certain number of contacts before seeking real fame.
In this regard, he is almost blank.
Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai are considered chess pieces, but they are still idle chess pieces at present, and it is impossible to play any role, as for Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng of Wu's Academy, it will take more than ten years before it can bloom.
In terms of how to gather strength, Wu Fanhui almost racked his brains, but in the end he found that although he was a person who crossed over, it was a pity that the platform he relied on was too weak, if he could not achieve fame in the imperial examination, the rest of the things were the moon in the mirror and the flowers in the water, if he wanted to accumulate contacts and relationships, and if he wanted to become strong, he could only take the road of the imperial examination.
Learning and excellence, the ancestors summed up these words, not just casually, in this year, they don't have the strength, what to do business and make a fortune and other matters, don't think about it at all.
Wu Fanhui is not without thinking about doing business, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, divided the people of the world into four grades of Shinong industry and commerce, and the rules of each rank are very strict, for example, the bottom of the ranking of businessmen, even if you have countless wealth, but you have no status, you can not wear silk clothes, the freedom of travel is strictly controlled, once there is a dispute with the scholars, whether you are reasonable or unreasonable, in the end it will be a loss.
Three hundred years have passed, these rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang have long become superficial things, and the status of businessmen has been greatly improved, and they have gradually transformed into the gentry class of Fuzhou County through their own wealth, and this process of transformation is the product of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Wu Fanhui wants to do business, but he is afraid that he still lacks capital, not that he lacks money, but that he lacks power.
Mizhi County is not big, the population in the county is less than 10,000 people, grain, tea, porcelain, silk, salt, ironware and other businesses are almost monopolized by the He family, other families can only play some side balls, even the only green building in the city, the force behind it is also the He family.
If Wu Fanhui wanted to plunge into the business circle at this time, he would definitely be stabbed in the head.
With his IQ and ability, it is still possible to fight a bloody way in the business circle, in fact, when Wu Guigui and others came to pay New Year's greetings, he also thought of this problem, thinking about using Wu Guigui and others to do business, but after thinking about it carefully, he still gave up, now is not the time to do business, the fight in the business field has caused hatred and attack, and Wu Fanhui, who needs to deal with the imperial examination with all his might, cannot divide too much energy.
Detailed analysis and planning made Wu Fanhui can't help but lament that he, a top student of the law department of a famous school, has experienced social ups and downs, and after crossing over to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he can't find any other way out, and can only write Bagu Wen honestly like most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Fanhui finally came to his senses, and the historical era in which he lived was completely different from the era of hundreds of years, although there were many similarities and different ways of showing it.
To put it bluntly, in this era, many possibilities to create opportunities basically do not exist, and the best way to show your ability is to seize every opportunity that comes, not to miss any opportunity, and to give full play to your greatest potential and get the greatest benefits in the opportunities and opportunities.
Thinking about this, Wu Fanhui's somewhat restless heart gradually quieted down, he kept telling himself, don't think about becoming fat in one bite, that is fat, although it has only been about half a year, he has done a lot of things, and every time he has seized the opportunity and shown his greatest ability.
In this respect, he Wu Fanhui is a success.
