Chapter 98, the three major families of Yizhou

Since bidding farewell to Suishan County, Di Luonan and Cangyuan went to visit two other top families in Yizhou.

One is the Wang family of "hanging sword and sealing knife" located in Tianxiong Mountain, and the other is the Zhang family of "Jianghe Wanguliu" who lives in Leshan County.

These two families, together with the "nosy" Ren family in Suishan County, are the three most famous families in Yizhou.

Among the wealthy families in Yizhou, they may not be the strongest, but they are certainly the most famous.

Needless to say, the Ren family, as the face of the Qionglai faction of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, behind them is the famous Qionglai faction. Don't look at the Qionglai faction, it's embarrassing to say, it's a group of servants who were driven out by the Immortal Buddha. In fact, just by the fact that they still regularly went to the trouble of the Immortal Buddha, and every hundred and eighty years they fought in the depths of the Qionglai Mountain Range, they knew that they were strong enough.

After all, if you are not strong enough, where can you let the Immortal Buddha be a sparring partner?

The origin of the Wang family is even better than that of the Ren family, they are the descendants of the Tianxiong Dynasty.

At that time, the Tianxiong Dynasty collapsed, and the princes from all walks of life swarmed. The last emperor of the Tianxiong Dynasty let his descendants take an inheritance and hide in a spiritual mountain guarded by a huge formation.

In a blink of an eye, the Warring States period ended, and Emperor Jiazi visited Tianxiong Mountain and persuaded the descendants of the Tianxiong Dynasty to open the mountain to meet people.

Those people have Wang as their surname, and they usually don't have much contact with the outside world, but their strength is beyond doubt. Legend has it that on Mt. Tenxiong, there were even demon gods from the time of the Tenxiong Dynasty, who still guard them to this day.

The origin of the Zhang family is not so good, they are just a big family with a long history, passed down from generation to generation, and their descendants are long, and they continue to spread out. If there's anything special about them, it's probably that their people are special, special, and so onβ€”repeat it three times if it's important.

How many people are there in the Zhang family?

There is a rumor on the rivers and lakes that in the entire Kyushu, ten people are randomly selected to come out, and at least one of them is related to the Zhang family. Some people even say that if there is a big devil who wants to harm the common people, he only needs to take the Zhang family's descendants as a sacrifice and curse all those who are related to this person, and it is estimated that he can kill a small half of the people in the entire Kyushu.

...... It is likely that he himself will also be included.

Of course, these are all rumors, but the large population and scale of the Zhang family can be seen from this.

The results of Di Luonan and Cangyuan's visit to the Wang family and the Zhang family were not good, and the Wang family had no interest in changing the law or anything - in fact, this family was considered an alternative among the Yizhou family, and was almost completely uninterested in the interests of the world. The spiritual mountain left by their ancestors is almost self-contained, enough for them to live happily.

The Zhang family was very interested in changing the law, but after several detailed discussions, the Zhang family's think tanks almost completely rejected Di Luonan and Cangyuan's plan to change the law.

Of course, there is a connection between the three major families, the Wang family just sent a message to the paper crane, and simply said "Di Luonan and Cangyuan also came to Tianxiong Mountain, we are not interested in changing the law", and the Zhang family sent a messenger to give a detailed introduction to the discussion between the two sides at that time.

Di Luonan and Cangyuan had indeed done their homework in advance, and they had thought a lot about how to change the laws of the imperial court, how to strengthen local control, how to reduce the burden on the people, and how to supervise the officialdom...... Measures and means. Careful consideration was also given to the resistance that might be encountered and how to address it.

But obviously, as Di Luonan, those people who usually discuss with him don't dare to seriously pick on his thorns and find his faults. The whole plan is full of a lot of assumptions, and the overall thing is probably "it looks beautiful", that's all.

Of course, the Zhang family doesn't need to give Di Luonan face, not to mention that this "Seven Killing Stars" is just a prince, even if the big summer is here and it involves their own interests, they will not give an inch!

After some discussion, Di Luonan and Cangyuan were refuted and speechless.

In the end, the two said in a gloomy way that they would rethink the plan to change the law, and invited the Zhang family to send staff officers to help plan this matter.

"Have you sent a think tank?" Ren Changsheng asked with interest.

"Sent. The envoy of the Zhang family said, "In general, the plan is very valuable, for the world, for the country, and for the people...... For our Zhang family, it is very valuable. If it can succeed, the Great Xia Dynasty can certainly return to its peak, and our Zhang family can also benefit from it and become more prosperous. ”

He didn't hide it at all, he was very open.

Pan Long guessed that it was probably because they were all his own people here, and there was nothing to hide.

"By the way, during the discussion, Di Luonan said something, and the head of the family specially told me to tell me, and asked you to help me refer to it in detail. The messenger added, "Di Luonan said that the Son of Heaven is searching for a strange bamboo slip, and if he can find it, it will be easy to move mountains and seas, and it will be easy to create something out of nothing. ”

Pan Long, who was listening on the side, almost stopped his heartbeat in an instant, but thanks to his good basic skills during this time, he regained control of his body in an instant, and avoided his gaffe.

Ren Changsheng also showed a look of surprise and asked, "Wasn't that bamboo slip already taken away by He Ping'an, the 'King of the Nine Mountains' of the Northwest Giant?"

The envoy said: "At that time, we asked the same question, Di Luonan said, originally the imperial court also thought so, but they have a special way to track down the bamboo slip, not long ago, found that the bamboo slip was still on the land of Kyushu, did not leave - but after He Ping'an seized the bamboo slip, he had escaped from Kyushu and went to the west. ”

Ren Changsheng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be that there is not only one copy of this bamboo slip?"

"That's what our head of family asked at the time. Di Luonan said that the specific situation was only known to the emperors of the past dynasties, and he was not very clear. Maybe there is really more than one bamboo slip, but the Great Xia Dynasty only needs to get one to solve the problem. ”

"What does he mean is that he wants us to help find the bamboo slip?"

"Pretty much. The envoy nodded," said Dilonan, who would travel all over Kyushu and talk to the powerful families in various places. On the one hand, he won everyone's support for his law change plan, and on the other hand, he also emphasized the matter of this bamboo slip and invited everyone to help find it. ”

As he spoke, the envoy showed a look of yearning: "The biggest problem in the world is the lack of resources. If you can really create something out of nothing, so that the people of Kyushu can be fed and clothed, then naturally the world will be peaceful, and everyone will be able to live in peace!"

Ren Changsheng sneered and said, "Is it true that the biggest problem in the world is the lack of resources?" There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmers are still starving to death. The biggest problem in the world is not that there is not enough production in the fields, but that too many people want to take up the production!"

"There is fat meat, there are fat horses in the stables, the people are hungry, and the wild are hungry, and they are leading beasts and eating people!"

The envoy of the Zhang family laughed awkwardly a few times, skipped the topic and said some gossip, and then left.

After he left, Ren Changsheng sat there, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance through the door of the house, silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"Xiaolong, have you ever heard of the saying 'It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books'?"

Pan Long didn't understand what he meant, but he still replied, "Yes." ”

"Now that you've heard it, let's go. Ren Changsheng said, "Kyushu is very big, and there are still very few places you have visited. You might as well walk around and see more. When you've turned around Kyushu, let's talk to the old man about what you've seen and heard along the way. ”

Pan Long was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"When am I leaving?"

"When Di Luonan leaves Yizhou, you will set off. Ren Changsheng said, "If he goes north, you will go south, and if he goes east, you will go west." In short, the farther away from him, the better!"
