Chapter 546: A Forest Alone Grows

In the north, owning hundreds of acres of land is not large, at least thousands of acres of land can be regarded as a big landowner, and there are quite a few tens of thousands of acres.

But here in Jiangnan, the order of magnitude is different from the north. Those who have hundreds of acres of land can be called local tyrants, and those who have thousands of acres of land are considered top landlords, and there may not be two or three in a county.

The Han family who settled outside the Pingmen Gate of Suzhou City is such a family, and the Han family is also a well-known family, and in the early years of Chenghua, there was an official position similar to that of the governor of Liangguang, Han Yonghan.

Outsiders never know how much land the Han family has, but rumors estimate that it is at least 3,000 mu or more—the detailed amount is probably best known only to the head of the family himself.

The current head of the Han family is Han Xiong, who is 51 years old this year and has been in charge of family affairs for 20 years. So far, he is still in good health, and it seems that he will have no problem being a family for another ten years.

A family owner with at least 3,000 acres of land is naturally the existence of an overlord in the local area, and because Han Xiong acts domineering and decisive, the people in the countryside must call him "Master Han" when they see it.

In recent years, many wealthy landlords have admired the prosperity of the city and have moved into Suzhou to live in the city. But Master Han hated the glitz and glamour in the city, and insisted on settling in his ancestral home in the countryside outside Pingmen, and he couldn't even bring his children and grandchildren into the city.

Master Han has his own beliefs, he feels that the ancestral inheritance has been passed on to his hands, and only by staying here in person can he feel at ease.

But today, Master Han was unstable, sitting in the open hall with disgust and depression, walking under the corridor of the hall, constantly pacing back and forth, his eyebrows locked, as if full of thoughts.

The men who were waiting by saw this. The old man was in a bad mood, for fear of being angry and suffering from the fish in the pond - it was not without such examples in the past.

So there was a lively sneak to the back of the inner courtyard. I invited my aunt over. But said that this little aunt's surname is Zhao, and she has apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and her bright color is sultry. This year is only in his early twenties, and in recent years, he has been the most favored here by Master Han.

Everyone knows that whenever Master Han gets angry, even his children and grandchildren have to stay away, and only Aunt Zhao can coax it.

The little aunt twisted her waist and came to Master Han's side, posted it and asked, "Master, the house has been smooth recently, and the outside is peaceful, what troubles can make you worry like this?" You see, the frightened little ones don't dare to come out. ”

Han Xiong's face was still ugly. He said in a deep voice: "You don't have an idea when you say it." I heard that Lord Qin Cha Fang Yingwu has set his sights on our Han family and wants to show us the monkey by killing chickens. ”

The little aunt was also startled, and hesitated: "It's not so serious, right?" ”

Master Han's brows furrowed even tighter, "What do you know?" Do you still have to think about danger when you live in peace, and you are already in danger of exhausting eggs? As the saying goes, the county order of breaking the family and destroying the door of the order Yin, that party should be a more powerful character than the county order Yin and others!

Even the eunuchs of the Qin Cha procurement were expelled by him, and the dignified prefect was also placed under house arrest by him, and now he is eyeing my Han family again. Can you not worry about being careful?

As long as Fang Yingwu has the intention to repair the Han family, and my Han family is ignorant and careless, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the doom! ”

The little aunt was also said to be flustered, and shook Master Han and said, "Then think about it!" ”

Han Xiong let out a long sigh and said, "Since Brother Han Yong didn't go. My Han family no longer has the highest number of dignitaries on the stage, how can I compete with that party?

Now that the Han family is facing Fang Qincha alone, they always seem to be alone. Therefore, it is better to pull a few more families together. When there are many people, there is weight. It's not so easy for Kincha-sama to do whatever he wants. ”

After making up his mind, Master Han invited Mr. Xixi to come. He was instructed to write a dozen letters inviting the heads of the families of relatives and friends to meet the day after tomorrow.

In these years, we pay attention to the right family, not to mention that people are grouped by similar aggregates, and the families who can marry or correspond with the Han family are naturally also big local tyrants.

Everyone sells the face of Master Han, not to mention the extraordinary period of Qincha's high pressure, everyone also wants to find a reason to gather and discuss. And the day after tomorrow, all the eight seats in the Han Jiahua Hall that had been prepared in advance were full.

Together, these eight or nine families own at least 20,000 acres of land and thousands of tenant farmers, and their appeal must not be underestimated.

As the initiator of the gathering, Han Xiong was the first to speak: "Who doesn't know the truth that shooting people first shoots horses, and thieves capture kings first?" My generation is a family with a wide range of land, and it is ranked first in Suzhou both inside and outside. If that Fang Qincha is determined to clean up the fields, we are afraid that we will bear the brunt of the disaster! ”

Han Xiong's words hit the hearts of everyone present. Fang Qincha's previous high-pressure methods were still vivid, making everyone secretly afraid—although they were dealing with the procurement of eunuchs and government officials at that time. It's hard to imagine how to resist it if it falls on your own head?

However, some people felt that Master Han was alarmist, and asked, "Brother Han, did you say too much?" I don't think that Fang Qincha is a vicious person, what is the current situation, we need to observe for a while, how can there be such a danger as you say? ”

Han Xiong glanced at everyone a few times, and then explained: "Brother Xu Xian, don't disagree! I'll not hide it from you, according to the absolutely reliable information I have gotten, Fang Qincha is already planning to make a move on my Han family! After my Han family, can you run away? ”

Everyone was shocked, guessing that it was one thing, but it was another thing to turn it into a fact, and hurriedly asked: "Has the news ever been accurate?" ”

Han Xiong nodded and said, "This news is absolutely true and absolutely false!" In the past, there was a family that I can't even remember, and after forming a feud with my Han family, some people died.

And the descendants of this family became the Hangzhou Oiran lady, who somehow hooked up with Fang Yingwu, and now this woman lives in the Qincha Mansion.

And Fang Yingwu, a young man, is easy to indulge in women, and when he is stunned, he wants to avenge the woman, so that the Pomeranian laughs. What's more, Fang Qincha urgently needs a Liwei object to clean up the fields, so my Han family is inexplicably unlucky. ”

Everyone listened and looked at each other, and the story of the revenge of the enemy's orphan girl ten years later was really a sense of drama. But Han Xiong will definitely not joke about this kind of thing, he must have inquired carefully about the good news, it should be true.

I heard Master Han say impassionedly: "In this way, the Han family naturally can't sit still, you are all relatives and friends of my Han family for generations, and there is really no need to say more about the truth that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Today I invited you, and maybe tomorrow, you will ask my Han family to help!

As the saying goes: A single tree does not make a forest, and now our generation can only work together to protect themselves, so as to protect the family business! ”

Everyone said one after another: "Brother Han, don't worry, we are not people who don't know things!" Generations of friendship are here, and there is absolutely no reason to sit idly by! (To be continued......)
