"In the final analysis, the Wu family is too thin and rises too fast, far less entrenched than the Zhou family...... Not to mention anything else, with a county and a master book, my Wu family will definitely not be able to support it......"

Wu Ming sighed, suddenly stood up, and came to the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two maids were waiting for him, respectfully arranging his clothes.

"They're all here?"

"Baishui Village, Qingshi Village, Daejeon Village...... and even the branches of other townships, all of them have arrived! ”

A maid with bright eyes, called Green Rui, said softly, exhaling like an orchid, and the warm air flow swept through, with the fragrance of hair, which made Wu Ming's heart happy.

"Excellent! Go to the ancestral hall! ”

It's just that this time is not right, Wu Ming naturally extinguished his desire to have fun and came to the Wu family ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall covers a wide area, with eaves and arches, red bricks and green tiles, and it is even more new.

In a small square in front, hundreds of people gathered, men, women, and children, all bowed slightly, with a smile on their faces, and only a few old men still maintained their manners.

This is the Wu clan.

Of course, there are almost no close relatives who are really close relatives, basically all of them are side branches and distant families, and there are even those who climb each other's genealogy and climb up.

Such a clan, if you really want to talk about blood, it is also hehe.

However, in ancient times, people with the same surname were still a family five hundred years ago! As long as the genealogy matches, outsiders can't gossip.

"Everyone!"

Wu Ming raised his hand slightly.

The people below saw that this famous little demon star seemed to have changed into a different person, and there was a huge majesty on his body, and they couldn't help but be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... As the patriarch of the Wu family, I am really sad to hear about the incident of Qingshi Village! ”

Wu Ming talked eloquently, but he completely separated himself from the previous impression of the absurd and lascivious gentleman: "I summoned you here this time, but I want to make rules for my Wu family!" ”

“…… Don't read, don't know etiquette, which big family in Yunping is not a poetry and book heirloom now? It is very sad for me to see my nephews in my later life, ploughing in the fields and playing in the countryside every day, and wasting a good time...... It was decided to build a family school, out of 100 acres of land, as a school field, all the children of my Wu family can be enrolled for free, provide room and board, and give rewards to the excellent! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the bottom.

The cost of studying is not small, and half the eldest child, eating the poor old man, Wu Mingken opened the school and took care of the food, and wanted to give the children of the Wu family a future, which really surprised the people below.

"Good!"

At this time, a clan elder who had not spoken silently before stroked his palm and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago!" It's long overdue! ”

These people naturally got Wu Ming's news a long time ago and discussed it.

It's really a good thing to see it now, and naturally I support it.

Wu Ming had a smile on his face: "In this way, you and I will enter the ancestral hall, determine the regulations, and then worship the ancestors, thinking that it will become a law!" ”

At this time, the door of the ancestral hall opened, Wu Ming took the lead, and all the men and women entered with strict rules, and the women could only wait outside with envy and jealousy.

The ancestral hall was filled with cigarette smoke, and after the agreement, Wu Ming wrote the sacrificial text by himself, which was read by a clan elder, burned it, and then lit incense to worship the ancestors.

Everything was in order, Wu Ming did it solemnly, with a board and a glance, and great manners, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Virtuous nephew! If you can do this, you will lay the foundation of my clan for a hundred years, and you will be blind to old decay and death......"

"Yes, you are the master of the house, it is really our great blessing!"

……

Several old people, at this time, were sincerely thinking about the Wu family, and they couldn't help revealing their true feelings, and the old ones were in tears.

Wu Ming responded with a smile one by one, completely washing away the impression of his own gentleman.

I'm afraid that after today, there will be rumors in all four miles and eight towns that 'the prodigal son will not change his money' or something.

Busy until noon, and set up a big feast, invited 100 people to eat a solid meal, specially killed a pig for this purpose, fragrant, fatty braised pork, and white flour steamed buns, all kinds of dishes, flowing water, very rich, this is really Wu Ming also knows, many people come, maybe just for this meal, deliberately let the kitchen have more portions.

At this time, the countryside is poor, and it is rare to eat back the meat during the New Year's holidays, and the tribesmen see this feast, and they are overjoyed, and the wind and clouds are like a whirlwind, women and children, everyone has a smile on their faces, and finally packs the leftovers together, and then they are happy to say goodbye.

"Young Master!"

At this time, Steward Wu, who was sent to the county seat, also came back, but his face was ashamed: "The eldest lady is in retreat, no one is seen, the villain is incompetent!" ”

"Retreat......

Wu Ming touched his chin: "That's it, you go down first, plan the school well, and prepare the title deed of one hundred acres of land......"

Seeing that Steward Wu seemed to be a little distressed, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Don't think it's worth it? ”

"It's not...... I thought that if the eldest lady knew, she would be relieved......"

Steward Wu laughed with him, and said a few more words before he said goodbye, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little red.

"Speaking of which...... This person did not take refuge after making a fortune, but had children with several generations of family, no wonder it was so ......"

Wu Ming was silent for a while, and then sighed again.

Until ancient times, it was impossible to know the role of clans on individuals.

Even, even if it is a rebellion, because it is necessary to connect the nine clans, as long as Wu Ming does it, then these clansmen and their children will have to accompany Wu Ming all the way to the dark.

Of course, this is the time when the power is strong, and if you are in a weak position, it is not uncommon to be robbed and covet property.

However, at this time and at that time, Wu Ming's branch was weak before, so it was natural to be bullied, but now, with the rise of Wu Qing, even the position of patriarch has been snatched over, which is naturally very different!

"Although it is a world of personal detachment, it is not useless to organize wings and partisan forces, at least a lot of trivial things can be done......"

Opening a school, cultivating a literary atmosphere, and allowing children to read and write is really a major event for a family.

Wu Ming knew that Wu Qing must have had this idea before, but as a daughter, Wu Ming was a mud who couldn't support the wall, so there was a delay.

Now? Everything is different!

"Among the clansmen, the natural good and the bad are uneven, and they need to be screened one by one, and those who have coveted my family's land property before are directly excluded, and the children of other clansmen are treated equally......

These older generations have too many thoughts, and Wu Ming doesn't dare to use them.

But after the younger generation read and write, they entered his system, smoothed out the edges and corners, and basically used it.

Even, you can let some children go in to accompany you, at least you have to understand a few words.

With such perseverance, more than ten years, or even decades of hard cultivation, the literary style is prosperous, if you can produce a few talents, the natural family business is stable, and the clan will be prosperous.

However, this is the way of the peaceful era, and in troubled times, there is another set.

Scholars are just seeds, both civil and military, indispensable!

Now that he is being persecuted by the Zhou family, Wu Ming is even more anxious to control his power.

On the second day, when the morning light was faint and the weather was still cold, he ordered the villagers to gather.

The Wu family has 20 acres of land and 200 tenants, and it is also the leading force in Fangyuan, at this time, there are more than 50 people in Xiangyong, lined up, although they are not very elite, but they are all strong men, which is very good.

"Ahem!"

Seeing Wu Ming coming, Feng Han coughed lightly, and more than fifty people immediately shouted in unison: "I've seen Da Shao!" ”

"Excuse me!"

When Wu Ming saw it, he was a little satisfied.

In fact, in the entire dock fort, if there is a full mobilization, 200 people can come out, but it will be delayed.

According to the ancient military system, one out of five households means that one man in the prime of life will be born out of five families to engage in full-time military work, so as not to delay the normal production activities of the entire society.

Now there are 200 households in the Wu family, and it is easy to wait for forty or fifty people to be idle.

No matter how much, it has to be attacked, and it can only be used when defending the fort, when all the people are soldiers, and the lives of their families are in the dock fort, and hundreds of people are deadly, enough to withstand thousands of troops!

Wu Ming is extremely confident in controlling these people.

Because at this time, the life and death of the tenant's family are all maintained on the main family, if Wu Ming is in a bad mood and collects the land, then they will immediately be homeless and have to become homeless.

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation has become increasingly serious, and natural and man-made disasters have continued, and the displaced people are really a dead end.

"I will, rebuild the inspection station!"

Wu Ming watched the drill first, and then announced loudly.

"According to the system, there is one township inspector and five servants in the inspection office, all of whom can be registered as officials, receive a share of money and food, and there can also be ten helpers, which is sixteen people!"

There is an inspection department in the county, which is responsible for thieves, and each township has an inspection office, which is under the jurisdiction of the inspection department, but in fact, according to the unspoken rules, once there is a strong person in the township, it will be recommended by that person, and the inspection department will approve it.

Although he was a clerk, it was still a way out for the people below, and there was a commotion all of a sudden.

"Now, each team of Xiangyong is divided into small groups to compete, and sixteen people are selected, and then the township inspection is launched!"

As soon as Wu Ming's words came out, he saw that everyone below was gearing up, eager to try, and there was a cold management order, divided into circles, in full swing, and it was also in order.

'It's a pity...... If Feng Han is allowed to be the township inspector, it is a great good! ’

Wu Ming could only think about this thought in his heart.

Feng Han is an eightfold body in the flesh, a great talent in the realm of Neigang, and if he directly enlists in the army, he can obtain an official body and be awarded the rank of the deputy team.

Although the township inspection has some real power and oil, in the final analysis, it is still a lowly soap subordinate, and it is humiliating to let Feng Han do it.

At this time, although Feng Han had some confessions with Wu Ming, his identity in the Wu family was still a guest, and he could leave if he wanted to.

"Haha...... Compete for office? How can such things not be called me? ”

Suddenly, a thunderous voice sounded outside the school grounds.

Immediately, a strong and high-spirited man with silkworm eyebrows and leopard eyes, beard like a needle, and words like thunder walked in with a smile.

Although it was late autumn, he didn't wear a shirt, and the muscles were like stainless steel, and there were centipede-like scars on them, which was daunting.

"It's a good man, but it's a pity that he seems to be a little rebellious!"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed: "Who is this person?" ”
