In the second year of Yuan Shuo (127 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the rebuilding of Shuofang County, and a large number of people migrated from all over the country.

Different from previous migrations, the goal of this migration is mainly based on the powerful from all over the world.

This group of people is often overbearing in the local area, and the people dare not speak out when they are suffering, and even the government is often restricted by them.

The Emperor's Decree of Tui'en put forward by the lord father Yan allowed the emperor to strengthen the centralization of power at the level of the imperial family, and the strong relocation of local tyrants to border counties such as Shuofang strengthened the direct control of the government over the local area.

These two tricks can be said to be beating, and the royal relatives can't stand it, and the landlord Haoqiang can't stand it either.

At the foot of Qinling Mountain......

Wang Family Ancestral Hall......

Seven or eight people sat in different positions in an orderly manner, an old man sat in the center with his eyes closed, let the people around him come and go, the old man never opened his eyes, and always calmly did not react.

After a short time, the door of the ancestral hall was closed from the outside, and the room seemed a little dark, only a dozen oil lamps were struggling to emit light.

When the door was closed, the whole room was suddenly silent, and the pin drop could be heard.

Except for the people who sat down separately, there was no one waiting for them.

The children of the Wang family were closely patrolling outside the house, and no one was allowed to approach here.

"Let's all share our thoughts!" The old man in the center suddenly opened his eyes, his anger was hidden under the cloudy eyes, and he said in a flat tone, but he did not hide his dissatisfaction.

"Second uncle, although it is because our Wang family chose to retreat that today's Wang family has today, but today the court is going to pluck the roots of our Wang family, and my opinion is not to retreat!" A middle-aged man snapped.

"Wang Su, don't act rashly!"

"Sixth, let's talk less about this kind of thing in the future, although the overall strength of the Wang family is good, but it has been able to develop so far by keeping a low profile, the emperor can kill so many heroes, can't he still kill a Wang family who is not as strong as Haoqiang on the surface?"

"Humph!" Wang Su snorted coldly, and looked at everyone coldly: "The imperial court asked for the mine, we gave it, the imperial court said that we wanted to share the pressure of disaster relief, we responded, the imperial court said that we wanted to donate the lord, and we also donated, and now he wants our arable land again, isn't this asking for our lives again?" Although the Wang family is low-key, they are not let him bully at will! ”

"I agree with the sixth child's words, even if he picks up wool, he doesn't catch a sheep......" someone immediately agreed.

In their opinion, the Wang family has been low-key enough over the years, and it is enough to cooperate with the government.

But you can't always catch someone and bully them to death.

"Second uncle, we have to be cautious in this matter, the reason why our Wang family can have today is not because the emperor moved the heroes here to Shuofang, which left us with a vacancy? Once we expose our true strength, I'm afraid we will be the next strong man......" Seeing that more and more people supported Wang Su's suggestion, Wang Qi was a little anxious.

In folk terms, their royal family has changed from the dragon slayer of the past to the evil dragon of today.

The only difference is that the Wang family is low-key enough, and it is organized and strategically low-key, and it is based on this kind of behavior that many people regard as conservative rules that the Wang family has been peaceful in the past 20 years, and the family has become stronger and stronger.

The Wang family has never bullied their neighbors on weekdays......

The main thing is that the neighbors are their own people, and the whole village is the clan of their Wang family, and their own people bully their own people, which will be punished by the clan rules.

But no matter what, Wang Qi still thinks that the Wang family should keep a low profile, even if it is a rebellion, it must not be as strong as Wang Su said.

Wang Li casually looked at the juniors below, and there was no expression on his face.

He is 70 years old this year, and he has not many years to live.

A few years ago, he began to observe his descendants and wanted to choose a successor from them, but now the results are not ideal.

The radical is too radical, and the conservative is too conservative.

Wang Li has the ability to bring the Wang family to this point by himself, but he is not capable of cultivating a successor again.

And Wang Li's lifelong dream is to reinvent the Wang family and complete a gorgeous turn.

The road to upgrade from the turtle family to a real clan may take several generations, and each generation must not make mistakes, otherwise it will fall short.

Perhaps because he felt that his time was short, Wang Li sighed after all, and did not let himself think of the perfect successor, so he could only choose the best person to take over.

"Lao Jiu, you're a little too conservative!" Wang Li set his eyes on Wang Qi.

If the Wang family wants to develop, radical may be possible, but it must not be steady.

When there is no better choice, Wang Li prefers to choose a conservative person to take over, too steady will make them lose some opportunities, but it is just to lose some opportunities, and stability will not make them too showy to be remembered.

"Second Uncle ......" Hearing Wang Li name Wang Qi, Wang Su's face instantly darkened, there are so many things in the family, who doesn't want to fight for the position of patriarch?

Wang Su was ready to compete with his opponent for a long time, but he found out in advance that he had chosen the wrong opponent?

"The second uncle taught ......" Wang Qi was also stunned, he just expressed his opinion, but he didn't expect to be named by the second uncle, there was some surprise in his heart, but there was also a lot of panic.

"Don't be so modest, let you express your opinions and no one speaks, I don't blame you for only knowing how to agree, but what opinions are conducive to the development of the Wang family, I hope you have points in your hearts!" Wang Li's gaze swept to everyone present.

Although it seemed bland, no one dared to make eye contact with Wang Li, not even Wang Su, who was expressing dissatisfaction.

Wang Li's status in the Wang family, that is, the existence of the emperor, does not need any means to suppress it at all, it is an elder that every Wang family member must respect from the bottom of their bones.

"You can't blindly back down in case of trouble, and let go of inconsequential things, but land is a fundamental problem, and you can back down, but you must not give in without complaint like before!" Wang Li was not in a hurry, and said lightly.

The speed of speech is not fast at all, if you listen to him in an impatience, you will definitely have the idea of wanting to beat people.

But Wang Li's body is not as good as before, and he is easy to pant when he speaks quickly, so he can only say it slowly.

"Resistance should also pay attention to a method and strength, not only for benefits, but also not to make people hate the Wang family, cough cough ......" Halfway through the words, Wang Li coughed heavily.

"Second Uncle......"

"Second Uncle ......"

Seeing Wang Li coughing, the people below couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly said with concern.

Wang Li waved his hand effortlessly and stopped everyone.

"Lao Jiu, you follow me these days, watch hard, study hard, after this matter passes, you will be in charge of the Wang family......"
