Chapter 918: The Divided Takigawa
He Lingchuan looked at him and Yu Pei with a delicate heart.
In reality, this jade pendant is in his hands. Now he knows that this is a gift from Zhong Shengguang to Lu Xun, and after being engraved with the word "deer" by Lu Xun, it has become an heirloom of the Bailie lord's family.
This kind of historical dislocation often confuses He Lingchuan with time.
The two walked to the post station, and He Lingchuan asked him, "How is Mr. Lu doing these days?" ”
"Very good, the order in the city is almost unaffected by the emperor's flow pulp, which is really rare." The day after the arrival of the first array of emperor slurry, Yuheng City was still in order, only five houses were burned down, and more than 30 people were arrested in a fight, and the deaths were also in single digits.
This kind of loss is already negligible, which shows that it has only been a year since Panlong City took over Yuheng City, and the residents here have already complied with the rules and order, and it also shows that He Lingchuan has made proper arrangements and Yuheng Army has reasonable control, otherwise Emperor Liulu will stimulate desires and amplify malice.
He Lingchuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "I have something to ask Mr. Lu." ”
"Commander He, please speak."
"I heard that the Lu family has been passed down for nearly 3,000 years, and it is a rare ancient family today." He Lingchuan said, "I want to ask Mr. Lu, why is the Lu family heirloom, and how can it continue from generation to generation?" ”
No matter how many famous families can't compete with time, they are finally buried in the depths of history.
Even in a large empire like Bega, there are very few families of merit at the time of the founding of the country that have survived to this day.
"Is it just because of the inheritance of luck?"
Lu Xun looked sideways: "Have you also heard the legend of the Lu clan's luck?" ”
"Commander Zhong mentioned it."
"It seems that Commander Zhong treats you differently." Otherwise, Zhong Shengguang and He Lingchuan have a top-to-bottom relationship, and they usually just give orders, how can they talk about other people's family affairs for no reason?
He Lingchuan did not shy away from saying: "It's my curiosity." ”
"The ancestor of the Lu family, Hongli Shangxian, once said that the situation may not be satisfactory, and luck will always be reversed. In the end, it is still man-made. ”
"What's going on?"
"Hongli Shangxian left a little inheritance for my family, as long as it is the blood of the Lu family, it can be inherited. But whether it can be used well depends on future generations. ”
Inheritance? He Lingchuan's heart moved.
Lu Xun didn't say anything deeper. This is Bailie's secret, and he will not tell outsiders.
So He Lingchuan asked again: "Only the family can inherit it?" ”
"No, no." Lu Xun shook his head, "Even if it is a side line or a foreign surname of the Lu family, it can be within five generations." ”
"So loose?"
"The aura is declining, the world is changing, if you stick to the so-called family, you have to be strong and weak, and the Lu clan won't last long." Lu Xun smiled, "In the past so many years, the son of luck has not appeared alone in this family, don't you want him?" ”
It turned out that it was because of the son of luck. He Lingchuan knew that this was not only the blessing of the Lu family, but also the biggest variable.
Lu Xun sighed angrily: "I have also been in charge of the family for many years before I understand, in the eyes of the former Hongli Immortals, the survival of Bailie is the most important, who is in charge of the head of the Lu clan, what does it matter?" ”
"I see." He Lingchuan asked again, "What if the descendants are incompetent but refuse to let Xian?" What if the side branches of the main family are all mediocre, but they are still fighting? ”
I'm afraid that's the norm.
"It's inevitable. Even if there is a trace of luck from the immortals, it is difficult for the Lu clan to show its former glory for so many years, because the descendants are not filial and the clansmen are cannibalistic. ”
The general family inheritance is the primogeniture system to avoid internal friction; However, because the son of luck appeared randomly, the Lu clan had to allow the main side to be exchanged, which added many variables, and clan rivalry became the norm.
Hongli Shangxian was kind for a while, did he really seek benefits for his children and grandchildren?
"This is not broken, not standing, let the capable go up, and the mediocre go down." Lu Xun said softly, "If the main family is mediocre, the main family cannot last long; If the Lu family is mediocre, the Lu family cannot last long. The world is as good as the country. ”
Throughout history, the Lu clan has gradually declined, and even if a son of luck appears every few generations, it is difficult to reverse its momentum.
This is called the general trend, and the luck of a clan cannot compete with it at all.
"In this world, the most difficult thing to get back to and rely on is the human heart." Lu Xun shook his head, "And for Bailie, the most difficult thing is that there are talents from generation to generation. ”
The emergence of leading talents, Lu's Zhongxing; If there are only mediocre people, the family will decline.
He Lingchuan understands that the latter is the norm, so Bailie has only come to that point in reality.
But Lu Xun actually didn't answer his initial question, that is, why the Lu family can be passed down to this day, and the incense continues.
He Lingchuan guessed that it might be related to Lingshan, but Lu Xun was embarrassed to say it directly.
The two chatted for a while, and Hu Min came in from outside and stood silently behind He Lingchuan.
Lu Xun said with interest: "Commander He is going to be busy, you don't have to accompany me as an idler." I went to dinner. ”
He Lingchuan was not polite to him, and said goodbye with a smile.
After returning to the city guard, He Lingchuan walked into the conference hall, summoned the sand table, and placed the enchantment.
Hu Min came back to report on the military situation in Takikawa.
After Qianjinzhai and the Ball Flower Gang were recruited as the road pipes of the Takigawa Trade Road, they played a good role in taking the lead. Even if the Xiqi puppet army was strongly oppressed, the bandits in Takichuan also surrendered to Yuhengcheng.
can't live, and sit on the ground to collect money, fools know how to choose.
He Lingchuan even asked the small and medium-sized bandits who took the initiative to surrender to Chengcheng to give priority to the selection of lots, that is, to manage the toll road sections.
First come, first served.
There are good and bad road sections, and there is not much money to be charged in the almost bad places, and there is a cost to manage.
This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the small and medium-sized bandits, after all, no one wants others to eat the soup, and they can only gnaw bones when it is their turn.
After the situation of the people and bandits being unanimous with the outside world was broken, Yuhengcheng promoted the heads of Takichuan villages and towns and the famous elders to be township officials, and asked them to promote the naturalization of households, that is, all villagers in Takichuan should be registered according to their names, ages, places of origin, identity, appearance, wealth, and other items.
After a lapse of several decades, Takigawa has finally conducted another census.
This set of information is complete, and Yuhengcheng's control over Takigawa has greatly increased.
At the same time, Yuhengcheng also sent a large number of personnel to Takigawa, saying that it was a collaborative management. But gangs such as Qianjinzhai eat public meals from top to bottom, and the heads of villages and towns and village elders have also become township officials, so what power and position do they have to oppose?
After these people were stationed, there were no secrets in Takigawa, and the location of the village, the distribution of the population, the types and numbers of monsters, and even the crops and farmland products were all sent to He Lingchuan for his decision-making reference.
Of course, the most important thing is the enemy's intelligence.
For the first time, He Lingchuan figured out the true number of the Xiqian puppet army:
Two thousand seven hundred.
This includes the Bega squad brought by Fushan Lie, including the remnants of the three Xiqi forces defeated by General Hong and Commander Xiao, including the other Takigawa bandits they annexed, and even a part of the Jinhan army!
