In ancient China, there were countless cities named after yin and yang, and the name "Shanyin" was really not creative at all, and it was very easy to duplicate the name.

But San'in Castle is really not small.

The east and west are more than 30 miles, the north and south are more than 20 miles, the city is six or seven zhang high, and it is definitely the first big city in Huiji.

In reality, this kind of big city can't be built at all, because there won't be that many people, but the game, anything can happen.

Returning to the inn, Xueba was the first to come over and asked, "Is it over?" Now can you go shopping? Although I had never been to Wu County, Shanyin was no smaller than Wu County, and its prosperity far exceeded that of Yongning. ”

"At that time, of course, San'in was also a large city, and it was governed by a county." Liu Feng laughed at first, and then said carefully, "But I still can't go shopping with you now, why don't I let Wang Ying accompany you and Xiao Ling'er and let him protect you?" ”

"It's a rare trip, what are you going to do?" Xueba is not satisfied.

"I also want to do a good shopping, but I don't have time, that Taishou told me to go back in two days, and some things can only be done now." Liu Feng said helplessly, "I'm going to visit He Qi's house, as for why, you know." ”

"Forget it, don't delay your business." Xueba is a smart person, but he won't be unreasonable, "I'll go with Xiao Ling'er, you let Wang Ying bring some people to move things with us." I'm telling you, if you don't go, don't blame me for spending money. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's all for nothing, just spend it. There was 100,000 gold in the storage ring that I gave you before, and it was not enough. Liu Feng said magnificently, "There are many wealthy people in Shanyin, they look down on us a lot, don't make trouble, but don't be afraid of things." Otherwise, even if we become the master of the council in the future, we will not be recognized by them. ”

"Cut, look at your smug face, you don't know how capable you are?" Xueba glanced at Liu Feng, "I'm going to go out to find Xiao Ling'er, why should you go!" ”

Wang Ying cried with a sad face, took a dozen guards, and followed Xueba out as a porter. Originally, he wanted to go to He Qi to catch up, but now it's all in vain.

And Liu Feng, after they left, went to visit He's house with gifts and Bai Jian.

The prayer post was sent yesterday, and I want to come to the He family and have preparations. I haven't seen him for half a year, and I don't know what He Qi has become.

The He family is in the west of the city, and there is a large area that belongs to their family, and in the main house, it is where He Qi is located.

The servants had already reported that when Liu Feng and his party arrived, He Fu had already taken He Qi and other main figures of the He family to greet them at the gate.

"Hello Mr. He, hello everyone, how can you afford it?" Liu Feng expressed panic as soon as they met.

"Master Hou is polite, Master Hou can come to my He family, it is an honor for my He family." He Fu said, "Come in first!" ”

"Mr. He, please." Liu Feng said with a smile.

Liu Feng entered the He family's territory, but those players who had been watching Liu Feng couldn't get in, it was the He family's private place.

Maybe someone has already inquired about who the owner of this generation is, and it is even more depressing. The relationship between the first city lord and the He family is so good, will He Qi still be able to escape from his palm in the future?

After entering the door, giving gifts, and saying hello, most of the people of the He family dispersed, and He Fu, He Qi, Liu Feng, and Bai Jian talked together.

"Only when you see it with your own eyes can you believe that the He family is so prosperous!" Liu Feng praised.

"Zhiyuan is too famous, compared to several others, the He family is really nothing!" He Fu said.

"Oh, I wonder if Mr. He can tell me about a few other things in the next place, so that I can understand the situation?" Liu Feng asked.

He Fu went to the county and was made a meritorious Cao, but he had already made up his mind not to work, resigned from his position, and returned home to cultivate future generations. As Liu Feng saw just now, there were dozens of people above the 3rd order of the He family, more than 10 people from the 4th order, and a few people from the 5th order.

Liu Feng has a preliminary understanding that historical figures, as long as they can leave their names in history, start at the 4th level, and as long as they don't die so early, most of them can grow to the 5th level. As for the 6th order, only those excellent people can reach it, above the 7th order, it is rare, you don't see it, Liu Bei's brothers were only 6th order when they appeared, and Cao Cao didn't know if he advanced now.

The main general may play a great role in the combat effectiveness of an army, but these grassroots officers should not be underestimated. The number of low-ranking generals has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of an army.

The reason why those big clans can become big clans is that the population is prosperous, and the second is that talents are frequent. When the population is large, the chance of talent appearing is greater, even if it is one in a hundred, there can be a lot. And the more talents, the more chances of geniuses, as long as there is one, you can lead a family to continue to grow. In other words, even if you don't have such outstanding talents, you can maintain a family without decay and wait for the growth of the next generation.

For the He family, Liu Feng glanced at it in a hurry, there are so many talents, so how strong should the four wealthy families of Huiji, who are more prosperous than the He family?

"Zhiyuan is polite, if you want to listen, the old man will tell you." He Fu said, "In the future, you will inevitably have to deal with these people when you develop in Huiji." ”

"I won't talk about how Huiji County used to be, let's just say that since the division of Wuhui, Shanyin has become a county and has gradually prospered, even with the surrounding counties." He Fu began to tell.

"Huiji Taishou, this is on behalf of the imperial court, they are all appointed by the imperial court, and they are held by outsiders. But like the county Cheng and Zhu Cao rafters, most of them are locals, or more precisely, most of them are people from these big clans. Therefore, if Taishou wants to govern Huiji well, he must have the support of the locals. ”

"When the Huiji clan prospered, there were naturally outstanding talents, either as officials in the court, or in local positions, and four of them were relatively prosperous over the years."

"First of all, the Sheng family in Shanyin, the Sheng family has produced a lot of talents before, serving in many places, the current head of the family, Sheng Xian Sheng Xiaozhang, has a very strong reputation in Shanyin, once raised filial piety, and now Luoyang is a Lang official, and has a son who handles family affairs for him at home."

"The second is the Shanyin Zhou family, the three brothers of the Zhou family are all outstanding figures, especially the eldest brother Zhou Xin Zhou Taiming, who is the world's Junyan, virtuous and bright, and his reputation does not have to be poor in filial piety, of course, Zhou Qiao and Zhou Ang are also outstanding people. These three people are all in Luoyang, and they have a deep relationship with the Central Plains Yingjie, and they don't pay much attention to this county, but the strength of the family is definitely not weak. ”

"It's the Shangyu Wei family again, the Wei family had a great task before, that is, Wei Lang Wei Shaoying, in the list of 'Eight Jun', not only in this county, but also in Kyoto are very famous, but that was more than ten years ago, and its deeds are not much to say, anyway, it is erudite and talented, and even the disciples of the great Confucian Li Ying are vying to follow. He served in the Three Princes' Mansion, served as a county commander, served as a lieutenant and suppressed thieves, and also served as a councilor, a scholar, and a Hanoi Taishou of 2,000 stones. However, because he was implicated in the disaster of the party, he had no choice but to commit suicide, which is regrettable. The prestige of the Wei family in Shangyu is higher than that of Shangyu Lingdu. The current head of the house is his grandson, who is in his twenties and has been living at home all the time. ”

"The last is the Yuyao Yu family, the current head of the family is the day before yesterday Nan Taishou Yu Xin Yu Wen embroidery, temper the Qing Festival, learn the ancients, is a famous Confucian, these two years just to Shi home, there is a son Yu turned, young and smart, especially good "Yi" learning, in Yuyao is also a well-known Junjie."

"These four families are the strongest families in Huiji, as long as they can have a good relationship with these families, it will not be difficult to govern Huiji." Finally, He Fu added.

Liu Feng smiled bitterly.

Although He Fu didn't say how strong these families were, from his tone, Liu Feng could feel his envy, which was enough for Liu Feng to peek into a corner of it.

Huiji is rich and good, but most of the wealth is concentrated in the area of the mouth of the Zhejiang River, to put it bluntly, it is Shanyin, Yuji, Shangyu, Yuyao, Juzhang these big counties, as for the southern Houguan, Yongning, Wusheng, Damo, or not to mention good.

But these places in Huiji are the places where the Huiji clan is most powerful, the relationship is complicated, and there are also the entrenchments of Shanyue, one is not good, it can cause turmoil.

It is no wonder that in history, Sun Ce marched into Jiangdong, not under Wu County, but first to fight Huiji, and after the battle, he also had to understand the post of Ji Taishou until his death, and then Sun Quan was also the leader, which lasted for a long time.

During this period, many people in the Huiji were angry with Sun Ce and Sun Quan, but they still had to smile at each other, in order to stabilize the Huiji.

Sun Ce subdued the Huiji clans by force, because they did not approve of Sun Ce. The reason for this is that Sun Ce's background is low. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that the Sun family is after Sun Wu, it is really promoted, the Sun family is prosperous in Sun Jian, and the Sun family is famous for killing pirates, and he has only been a county official before, and the highest is the county Cheng, and its status is killed after the Yellow Turban, no wonder it is not recognized by the Huiji clan.

Sun Jian is "light and cunning", this is the evaluation of history books. On the way to defeat Dong Zhuo, he killed this ally who was fighting against Dong because Wang Rui of Jingzhou had despised him before. The Huiji clan was soft on Sun Ce, and there may not be no reason for this, for fear that Sun Ce would slaughter them like his father and slaughter them like Tu Dongye (that is, Hou Guan).

Liu Feng didn't think that the identity of the alien could be stronger than Sun Jian's background, even if he had the title of a Han clansman; I don't think that I have the ability to surpass Sun Ce and remove the hidden dangers of Ji, so I can only find a way to expand my strength first. Otherwise, even if you have a position in the future, if you are not recognized, you may not be able to enter San'in City.

"Thank you Mr. He for your advice, and now you know how to deal with yourself." Liu Feng thanked him, "I came under the order, and I will return the day after tomorrow, I don't know if Mr. He can introduce me, and I want to visit the Sheng family and the Zhou family tomorrow." ”

"None of their heads are in the county, and it won't be fruitful to go." He Fudao.

"It's okay, it's a good relationship anyway. Seriously, this time I came in a hurry, and if their family master was here, it would really be difficult to come to the door. Liu Feng said.

"It's okay, let the dog accompany you tomorrow, if you want to be accompanied by a future family master, they won't say anything!" He Fu thought for a while and said, then asked, "Do the Shangyu Wei family and the Yuyao Yu family have time to go?" The old man can write a letter to recommend. ”

"Then thank you Mr. He, I passed by Shangyu when I went back, and I just wanted to go to the fiefdom in the lower place. Yuyao may not be able to go, but is it prepared! Liu Feng said with a smile.

"It's almost time for the family feast to begin, let's go over!" He Fudao.

Staying at He's house until it was dark, Liu Feng refused the dinner and returned to the post house with Bai Jian.

"Do you feel it?" On the way, Liu Feng asked.

"Yes, I was still arrogant before, the strength of these Huiji clans is very strong, and they are not comparable to those families of Yongning and Houguan at all." Bai Jian sighed.

"This is just the Huiji on one side, the four major families of Wu County are not weaker than the Huiji, or even stronger, as for those Central Plains Wang clans, let alone those Central Plains Wang clans." Liu Feng said, "We can only come step by step, we can't be in a hurry, we have no background, and if we fail, we may never recover." ”

"Recruiting talents, cultivating talents is the next top priority, with talents, they can control the counties, our 4th level of talents are too few, we must step up training. Even if you can't move these rich places, you must control the southern Zhang'an, Yanxian, Wusheng, Damo, and Zhuji in your hands before entering Sanyin. With this half of the territory, you can straighten your waist and enter the meeting. ”
