Volume 1 110 The Four Great Families
Under Chu Haoyu's gaze, Sun Yiyang replied slowly: "Yin and Yang family." ”
Looking at his uncle, Chu Haoyu's eyes were full of disbelief, as if he couldn't connect his uncle, who was calm and like a generation of Confucians, with the warlock who walked the rivers and lakes, and blurted out: "Yin and Yang family? ”
As if guessing what Chu Haoyu thought, Sun Yiyang nodded and said: "Everything in the world is full of yin and yang, and what our yin and yang family does is to look at the news of yin and yang and make strange changes. ”
Suddenly, Chu Haoyu was silent for a while, thinking for a moment as if he understood but didn't understand, and at this moment, Sun Yiyang continued: "The Yin and Yang family comes from Fangshi, and Fangshi divides the number of techniques into six techniques, one is astronomy, two is almanac, three is five elements, four is yarrow, and five is miscellaneous and six is formal. Among the six techniques, astronomy is the most difficult and easiest to form, and the most common physiognomy and feng shui in the world are the form methods. ”
Chu Haoyu seemed to understand a little, but asked again: "That is to say, you mainly observe astronomy to promote the world's luck?" ”
Tapping his head, Sun Yiyang opened his mouth and said: "Yes, so the world often says that the Sun family is the most mysterious." After a pause at this, Sun Yiyang suddenly let out a chuckle, and then said: "Actually, the reason why it is mysterious is because my Sun family rarely asks about the rights and wrongs of the world, even if they have to be born when the world is in turmoil, they try not to participate in the political affairs of the court, and they must retire afterwards." ”
With a light sigh, Chu Haoyu looked at his uncle Sun Yiyang and asked, "That means that the queen mother is just a pawn of your Sun family?" ”
At this moment, Sun Yiyang finally saw Chu Haoyu's naughtiness. Shaking his head, Sun Yiyang's face was extremely calm, and said: "Xiao Qi, a disciple of the family, although he has many advantages, he can't help himself, and even fell into the game of chess in the world since he was born. However, when you think of yourself as a pawn, you are already stuck in the game, and only when you think of yourself as a living person can you come out, enjoy the game, and finally, enjoy it. Speaking of this, Sun Yiyang stared at Chu Haoyu's eyes and said, "The reason why the eldest sister asked me to come over is not to teach you how to play, but to know how to play chess." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Haoyu shook his head and let out a light sigh, "It's too troublesome, uncle, you should tell me about a few great families!" ”
Before Sun Yiyang could answer, Chu Haoyu continued: "Uncle, how about we go to the Ethereal Pavilion to listen to the piano tonight?" Miss Lianyu is a descendant of the Holy Sect, maybe with your uncle's friendship, you still know her master. ”
Chu Haoyu was originally a joke, but he never thought that Sun Yiyang actually nodded and said, "I really know her master, and the relationship is extraordinary." ”
Seeing Chu Haoyu's surprised look, Sun Yiyang laughed, but he didn't say anything, but continued to say just now: "The four great families are Sun Chen Qian Song, my Sun family will no longer say it, the Chen family is the Chen family in Beijing, and the disciples of the first sect of the scholarly sect are all over the world......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Haoyu.
Staring at his uncle Sun Yiyang, Chu Haoyu asked with a puzzled expression: "Uncle, is the Chen family Confucian?" ”
Sun Yiyang nodded but shook his head, Chu Haoyu who saw it was even more puzzled, but fortunately, Sun Yiyang opened his mouth and said: "The Chen family considers itself Confucian, but they dare not call themselves Confucian. You must know that there is no first martial arts and no second, and no one has dared to call themselves Confucians for thousands of years, but they are just first-class Confucianists. Moreover, Confucianism pays attention to loyalty, and the Chen family has a history of hundreds of years in Beijing, and has survived two dynasties, so how dare he call Confucianism. ”
Looking at his uncle, Chu Haoyu casually retorted: "Judging the situation, there's nothing wrong with it!" After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu continued: "Uncle, what about the other two?" ”
Nodding, Sun Yiyang said calmly: "Let's talk about the Song family first." When the former Zhao Dynasty was founded, Song Qingming was named the king side by side, which shows that his merits are high, and he can be said to be a real person under ten thousand people. Song Qingming is also a masterpiece of a generation, but he accepted the title but did not ask for any reward, but begged the emperor to allow him to return to his hometown. Under Song Qingming's repeated pleas, the emperor agreed, but in order to show the emperor's grace and completely reward him with the land of Yuezhong, Song Qingming established the Song family in Yuezhong. ”
At this moment, Sun Yiyang's voice became calmer and calmer, and he said: "For hundreds of years, the Song family has firmly controlled the land of Yuezhong in their hands, but the relationship with the Zhao dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, the Song family in Yuezhong was already a veritable emperor of the soil, and in addition to paying tribute every year, there was little contact with the Zhao family, especially after the Zhao dynasty weakened, and the land of Yuezhong was remote, and the Zhao dynasty acquiesced to the existence of the Song family. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Yiyang suddenly laughed, and then said: "Although the land of Yuezhong is remote, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea, and the materials are abundant. The Song family relied on these things to get rich and establish a Song family army that is famous all over the world. ”
Chu Haoyu listened to it interestingly, but couldn't help but ask: "Song Jiajun, why haven't I heard it?" ”
Sun Yiyang smiled again and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the Song family army is no longer there." Seeing the surprise on Chu Haoyu's face, Sun Yiyang explained: "The land of Yuezhong is not only rich in minerals, but also has strong folk customs, coupled with the art of war left by Song Qingming, the Song family army really made a name for itself when the world was in turmoil, even your father and emperor are unwilling to have a hard time with the Song family army." After the founding of the Great Chu, the Song family disbanded the Song family army and called the ministers to pay tribute in order to show their sincerity. ”
Chu Haoyu sighed softly, opened his mouth and said, "Why haven't I heard it, uncle, you go on." ”
Sun Yiyang continued: "After the chaos in the world, the Song family still called the ministers and tributes on the face, but the major forces came to visit one after another to seek support, and no matter how bad it was, they would try their best to buy weapons, and the Song family became a real super-first-class force. Moreover, the remoteness of the land of Yuezhong has escaped the war, and it has become a paradise in the troubled times, and many people have moved to Yuezhong, making Yuezhong more and more prosperous. ”
After hearing what his uncle Sun Yiyang said, Chu Haoyu asked again, "Uncle, have you been there?" ”
Sun Yiyang nodded and said: "I traveled all over the world when I broke into the rivers and lakes, and Yuezhong is one of the few prosperous places in the troubled times, of course I will not miss it." Yuezhong is mountainous, not as domineering as the capital, but the small bridge and flowing water are a good place to settle down. Speaking of this, looking at Chu Haoyu, Sun Yiyang suddenly laughed and said, "Xiao Qi, after you get married, you can take Miss Song to Yuezhong for a walk, you have been in the capital for a long time, and it is a different taste to go out for a walk." ”
Nodding approvingly, Chu Haoyu smiled and said, "Hearing what you said, uncle, I really want to go and see it." After a pause, Chu Haoyu asked again, "Uncle, what about the Qian family?" ”
Under Chu Haoyu's gaze, Sun Yiyang said slowly: "The Qian family was originally a businessman, but it was too big, to the point where it was able to enter the house, so as to become one of the four great families. However, these are all on the surface, Shinong Industry and Commerce, which shows that the status of businessmen is to become bigger, and if they want to enter the house, they still can't. ”
Chu Haoyu sighed softly, but couldn't help asking, "What is going on with the Qian family?" ”
"The Qian family is really a miscellaneous heirloom." Seeing that Chu Haoyu was stunned, Sun Yiyang let out a chuckle and said: "The miscellaneous family pays attention to the strengths of the Bo family, and the way of the hundred schools is all connected, the goodness of Confucianism and ink, and the key to the naming method, hum!" ”
Hearing his uncle Sun Yiyang let out an inexplicable snort, Chu Haoyu immediately interjected and asked, "Uncle, you don't like miscellaneous families?" ”
Sun Yiyang shook his head, but after a moment of silence, he chuckled and said, "Sort of, but it's not that I have an opinion on the miscellaneous family, I just don't like the Qian family's methods." ”
At this moment, Chu Haoyu became more interested, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's going on?" Tell me, uncle. ”
Sun Yiyang didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically after a moment of silence: "Xiao Qi, do you know how big the Qian family's business is?" ”
Chu Haoyu shook his head, just saw that his uncle was still looking at him, thought for a little and replied: "I don't know, but I heard Xiao Jing say that Li Shangshu of the household department is the son-in-law of the Qian family, and Li Shangshu is the head of a family, so the business of the Qian family is very big." ”
Sun Yiyang nodded, opened his mouth and said: "We often say that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and for the Qian family, where there are people, there is business. ”
Seeing Chu Haoyu's face full of disbelief, Sun Yiyang let out an inexplicable sigh, and then said: "Although this sentence is exaggerated, the Qian family's business is indeed all over the world, not only controlling grain, salt, tea, oil and other necessities of life, but also a series of profiteering businesses such as restaurants, pawnshops, green buildings, antiques, and casinos. It can be said that although the Qian family's share accounts for less than half of the world's trading, it is not much different. ”
Although he guessed that the Qian family's business was doing a lot, but when he heard that it accounted for half of it, Chu Haoyu was still shocked, and couldn't help asking, "So much?" Seeing his uncle nodding, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but ask, "How did the Qian family do it?" ”
Sun Yiyang's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "The Qian family has a history of 100 years, and the business has been doing well, and it is also well-known in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it can become one of the four major families, but it is because the current head of the family, Qian Buwei." Qian Buwei lost his father at a young age, and the family business was taken away by the clansmen, which can be regarded as suffering a lot, but Qian Buwei just passed the year of the weak crown, so he took the family business by thunderous means and began to take charge of the Qian family. ”
Speaking of this, after a pause, Sun Yiyang continued: "When I was wandering the rivers and lakes, I saw that money was not one-sided, his appearance was average, his bearing was average, and he didn't talk much, but for the way of businessmen, he was really wise and foolish. Therefore, Xiao Qi, if you see him, you must pay more attention. ”
Seeing Chu Haoyu's disapproving expression, Sun Yiyang laughed to himself but didn't say much, but continued to say just now: "Actually, money is not a pure businessman, everyone is useful to him, and he can trade it, and everything he does is only for profit, but he has a unique vision and can see things that ordinary people can't perceive." The Qian family can have its current status, that is, Qian Buwei took a fancy to your father, and gave you great help to the Chu family in the troubled times. ”
Chu Haoyu nodded, but couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, businessmen are heavy on profits, which is also normal, but, listening to your tone, why do you hate the Qian family a little, could it be that there is a holiday?" ”
